"Sir, the flight landed safely at Incheon airport" Jihoon's secretary informed him.

Jihoon looked up with a big smile on his face and picked his phone up.

This was the moment he was waiting for, for years.

To meet his brother. Correction, step brother. Although there was a stereotypical tag to their relationship, Jihoon never let it get to him. He loved his brother unconditionally.

Jihoon was 12 when his dad announced he was getting married and Jihoon is getting a baby brother who's 7,name Mashiho. He was so excited.

Both of them bonded pretty quickly. Mashiho was such a fluff ball, always following Jihoon around and Jihoon too, let him tag along everywhere, that is until his step mom decided to send Mashiho to a boarding school in Japan, saying he should be attached to his original roots.

Jihoon was totally against the idea of sending 10 year old Mashiho to a boarding school, that too in a different country.
But his step mom was rigid on her decision.

He remember how Mashiho clung to him, bawling his eyes out and refusing to let go when they were on their way to drop him at the school.

But finally after 11 years, he was coming back.

He immediately dialed Mashiho's number but it said to be not available.

"What the fuck? You said his flight just landed. Why isn't it connecting then? " He asked his secretary.

"Relax dude, he's just landed. Maybe he forgot to remove his phone from flight mode." Jihoon heard a familiar voice and turned around.

"But he would've called me immediately after landing" Jihoon said.

"You worry too much" The said voice clicked his tongue.

But that's how Jihoon was, super-protective of Mashiho.

"By the way, what are you doing here Sungchan? " Jihoon asked.

Sungchan. He was Jihoon's best friend since middle school. And so naturally he also knew Mashiho too. They bonded well.

"Woah, so rude, am I not welcomed here? Do I need a reason to come here? " He asked in his fake ayego voice.

Jihoon made a gagging face and threw a pen towards him.

Sungchan dodged it easily and started laughing.

"Hey, I heard you're getting married, is that true? " Sungachn teased.

"Please, I'm finally in a good mood today don't spoil it" Jihoon said irritated.

He dialed the phone again. This time it connected and a mid aged man picked up.

"Hello? "

Jihoon knew he was Mashiho's bodyguard so he asked hurriedly "where's Mashiho?"

"Mashiho-kun, here" Jihoon heard the man say.

"Hyung" And then he heard the chirpy voice of Mashiho.

"Yah, where were you? I called you so many times. Did you arrive safely" Jihoon asked.

"Yes, yes. I arrived safely and all. I just encountered something and- um.. Foregt it. I'll be there soon." Mashiho replied assuring the overly worried Jihoon.

"Okay, Be careful. " Jihoon couldn't help but feel relieved.

He put the phone down and ordered his secretary to get some paper work done.

He didn't know when Sungchan left.

He closed his eyes and leaned on his chair.

He couldn't help but think about what Sungchan just said.

His marriage.

One of the most important events of his life is happening through a business arrangement. With someone he's never met or knew. That too with a boy.

But that was not what the problem is right now.

The problem is how will he tell this to his girlfriend.
