Min Ho asked. "Im going crazy... I want to have someone, someone so dearly to me but I can't because of that long time commitment." Tae Hyun said. Min Ho understand what he's saying. "Its about the lady that we met in Daegu, Am I right?" Min Ho said. Tae Hyun nodded. "Wow! Love at first sight is really existed!" Min Ho said.

Tae Hyun met her in a cafe. She's an employee there when Tae Hyun saw her. It was fast to developed their feelings for each other. Min Ho finds out that his bestfriend Tae Hyun and that girl is already in a relationship before they got back to Seoul. Since then, Tae Hyun always think about her.

"You need to choose, Tae Hyun." Min Ho said. "You know if your father will find out about your having a relationship with an ordinary girl like her, it will cause chaos." He said. "Are you willing to sacrifice everything for her? If yes, then go love her all you want and I support you." Min Ho said.

Tae Hyun drink his whiskey. "I want to tell her the truth and fix everything but Im afraid that I will loose her." He said. "You will loose her if you continue to hide her. You must face the obstacle for you to succeed." Min Ho said.

Tae Hyun look at him.

End of flashback

"Ha Chae Young... Is the only girl who captured Tae Hyun"s heart." Min Ho said. Tae Gu got shocked. "Ha Chae Young?" He said. Min Ho look at him. "She's living in Daegu before with her sister, If Im not mistaken her name is Chae Yoon." He said.

Tae Gu got surprised on what he learned. He suddenly think about Tae Ji. Min Ho look at him. "Tae Gu, your brother had a child with her. Its late when he know about it. Chae Young broke up with him when she found out about his engagement with Ji Min before and she didn't tell him her pregnancy. But when your brother found out about it, he's willing to fix everything and be a responsible father to their child but it's too late." He said. "What happened?" Tae Gu asked.  "Chae Young died while giving birth. She died the day when you and your brother got into an accident." Min Ho said.

Tae Gu got emotional. He feel hurt for his brother when he learned about them. "How about the child?" He asked. Min Ho look at him. "I heard he also in critical condition back then but when I came back to the hospital they both gone with Chae Young's sister." He said. "I didn't know where to find them. My information about Chae Young is limited." He added.

"I didn't tell what I know because the last time I talk to your brother before he died, he wants to protect her and their child from your father." He said.
"

Im sorry if I keep my silence for years." Min Ho said.

Tae Gu's eyes are now filled with tears. "So there's a possibility that Tae Ji is my nephew.." He whispered.

When Min Ho left, Chae Yoon suddenly enter the office. Tae Gu look at her and he got so emotional because Chae Yoon sacrifice a lot for Tae Ji. He immediately walk towards to her and hug her.
