"What? Don't tell me you already know him!"
"Yes Ara. We met him before." Tae said with convincing eyes. His hands are moving as he explains me this feeble topic.

"What you mean by we?" I questioned being amazed.
"It means us. You and me." My mind is going insane now. Means how? I didn't remember meeting him.
"When?" I asked him.
"Years passed. My father had a meeting with his father. He was also there. We stayed whole two days together." I was still surprised.
"You don't remember?" He asked. "No." I said because I had no any clue about it.
"It happens. It's ok." He patted my shoulder.
It feels like I'm a person with brain surgery who don't remember this whole thing. But why? Why I don't remember any of them. This is not the first incident that I don't remember. There are many.

A boy appeared in front of me. His hands are hiding something. He is looking appealing with his hairstyle. His black eyes are attracting me towards him.
He approached me revealing a box with a ring in it.
"Ta-da" He said blissfully. It was so natural. His emotions, the feeling, the heartbeat. All things are making me the happiest person ever. I don't know whose heartbeat is fast mine or him or maybe both. This feeling is unreal.
He forwarded his left hand towards me and his eyes are telling me to give my hand to him.

A thud of door opened interrupted my sleep. It was my father. "Ara come downstairs..." his face was looking pale. Really tensed. I never saw him that pressured before. What's the thing?

A contract written something on it was placed on the table. Me and uncle are sitting opposite to each other. His face expressions can fool others but not me. Deep down he is tensed I know.

"What is this, uncle?" I asked uncle politely looking at the contract.
"This is a contract written that you will only marry a korean girl. Only after that you will get the property and NEURONS." I was so confused. Why uncle is doing this all?

"I know you will thought of me as an old fashioned but I want you to sign this."
"Its not that i was wondering what's the reason made you do it."
"You will take it as a weird concern. If I will tell you the reason. The thing is I don't want other blood to mix with our next heir. I want him to be strong like you and your father." I gave him a concern look.
"I want him pure, Jungkook. Our blood will run into him. The position gained NEURONS now was my biggest dream. It is a result of my and your father's blood sweat and tears! I want NEURONS to lead always. I trust you. And also want our next generations to give it a priority. NEURONS have to be always first." Uncle was always so serious about NEURONS. His hardwork pays off after all. He was not wrong when he said him and my father's hardwork was a result of NEURONS success. NEURONS today is all because of their dedication. I saw them working whole day and night nonstop from the first. And about this contract I'm sure he must've thought about it before presenting it to me.

"I also trust you uncle. This must be important. It's okay. I will sign it."

I give my father his coffee. I was standing next to him in the balcony looking at the whole luxurious view form this site.

"I know you are thinking about your uncle's contract." He let out his thoughts.
"No dad. I'm okay with it. Nothing wrong with him concerning about me."
"Since we left korea and started living here. It was all so sudden. Your mom don't want to give you birth in korea. That's why we shift to London." I was listening to him. Seeing my dad missing mom. I always wonder how married life changes the whole person. I can never imagine imagine myself like that. My mom died after giving birth to my sister Farinda. Dad don't know anything about mom's behavior towards me. And I don't want him to know about that. Again my dad spoke.
"They found out that I'm working in mafia world. Our nearby people, my friends, your mom's friends, all suspected us. Highlighted us. Even though we didn't do anything wrong. They always wanted us to die for their sake. Your mom was pregnant with you and didn't bear it all. She started to hate everything. And after that I decided to leave korea."
Heirarchy of NEURONS is not only in my hand but so of mafia's also. This is called business. My dad and I didn't do anything wrong. And it's TRUE we are only working against the wrong doings so that our business can will be going smoothly. That's the only goal.
