"WHAT?" Dohyun shouted at the top of her voice when she heard what Boyoung had to say about moving in with the Beast.

"I had no other option!" Boyoung collapsed on her couch.

"Eonnie, are you sure about this?" Dohyun asked.

"I don't know, whatever it is, I have to face it," Boyoung replied.

"Look," Dohyun took Boyoung's hand in hers. "Eonnie, I told this to you even when you were getting engaged, this is your life, you shouldn't be doing everything for others."

"I'm going to be fine doohyun-ah. I have to do this for Appa."

Dohyun rolled her eyes and frowned.

"You cannot live with a man you've been crushing over since day one!" she shouted.

"Ya! I don't have a crush on him" Boyoung gritted her teeth and looked away.

"C'mon eonnie..." Dohyun sighed.

"And crush doesn't mean anything, It's not as if I love him..." Boyoung shrugged. "In fact, I dislike him."

"Okay fine, what will you tell your dad?"

"I told Appa I'm going there to learn about blue roses, he didn't doubt anything."

"And your office colleagues?"

"They won't get to know about this, don't worry" Boyoung reassured.

"Huh, Can I visit you there?" Dohyun asked.

"It's better that I come here to meet you instead, I don't want you to get into trouble as well."

"Eonnie, please take care of yourself..." Dohyun said pulling Boyoung into a hug.

"I will... "

~Beast~

I felt good this morning after so many days. I hoped it wouldn't rain again anytime soon. Especially when I was going to have a guest at home. No, not a guest, she was a hostage technically.

Miss Park Bo Young, was supposed to move into my house. Since the start of the day, I felt anxious because I was not used to having new people at home. I don't even remember how long has it been since I started living alone. It seems like forever.

The only people I ever had with me were my driver Jae Sung, my housekeeper Mrs. Cha with her helpers, and my garden's caretaker Mrs. Lee. Oh well, and one day Mrs. Cha brought a dog home. I call him Latte and you can say he's my best friend. Much better than humans, I can assure you.

I had told Mrs. Cha to get a room ready for Miss Park, as far away from my room as possible. But she still arranged one right on the next floor. Sometimes she doesn't listen to me, but given that she's my mother's age, I cannot argue much.

I went up to have a look at the room, and to my surprise, it looked very different from mine. There was a huge wooden poster bed with light pink curtains falling from the bars. There were sea green chairs and a table kept at the side. The room had a glass window through which you could see the mountains and sky. There was a large dressing table and a walk-in wardrobe next to it. Finally, there was a small balcony attached to the room where some flower pots were kept.

Mrs. Cha was standing outside and guiding others to clean up the room well before Miss Park arrives.

"You gave a new look to this room," I said looking around.
