"Let me take you back, then. When Jiho was still alive, and Anselm was just Jinhyuk..." Mrs. Sookja says.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Sookja, 19 years old

I haven't see so much white in my whole life. At the center of this all, my sister shines. "You look happy."

She turns to me, smiling. "Of course! It's my wedding day!" Eyes sparkling. "And I love him!"

My eyes twich and my smile drops only for a second. I shake my head. "Yeah..." I wished he loved you, too.

I always knew Jinhyuk had a strange affection towards me. He never spoke about his feelings, but once I grew up and understoond some things, I knew his gaze was filled with lust. And I was always uncomortable around him. The truth is, I tried to speak to Mirai about it, but my sister dismissed me, saying I was still too young to know any better. She was always obsessed with him, and let't be for real, Jung Jinhyuk was a handsome man. But -I blush- he couldn't hold a candle to Jiho. "What are you thinking of, you little perv?" Mirai flicks my nose and I jerk startled. "Oh I do know what. You haven't see him yet, have you?" She gives me a knowing smirk. "Jung Jiho."

"Shut up." I avert my eyes.

She laughs. "How long has it been? Two years?"

"Three." I deadpan. "It's been three years." Three years since I last saw Jiho. That summer, he had just turn eighteen and his father was taking him along to his 'tour'. To teach him the family's business. Now he is twenty one and he is probably even more handsome than he was as a teenager. Oh dear, my heart's gonna jump out from my body.

"Right. I heard he is staying after the wedding. What do you think?" She raises a brow. "Unfinished business?"

"I don't know what you mean." I say and get up. "I'm going to greet the guests." I don't wait to hear her stupid remark, as I rush out from the room. Today is a big day for her. Man, I can't let my feelings get the better of me. I need to focus on the wedding. Focus on the guests, the ceremony, the party. Focus -I crush into someone and groan- overall.

"Woah, easy there airhead." I freeze. I recognize that voice. It's deeper and -well, manly- but I could recognize that voice from miles away. I raise my eyes to meet those green eyes. Oh dear God, I'm a goner. He soflty blows on my face. "Hello, sweetheart."

Sweetheart? When did he became so flirty? And so big?

Few months later

The night is so calm, Selene is out and smiling at us. Jiho is here, holding me in his arms. His face comes down to me, his nose gives mine a tip, laughing. Our lips mere inches away from each other. And then he is kissing me. And my world spins. I feel like I'm flying. "I'm yours." He whispers. "And you are mine."

"Forever..." I breathe.

Hours later, laying naked on the master's bedroom in his mansion, I make small cicles in his arm. "Do you like the house?" He asks.

"I like you better."

He laughs. "I'm being serious."
