" what do you mean ?" Yonghwa's voice barked at the intercom and his secretary winced. Her boss has been grouchy for past three months.
She just informed him that their order has been declined. Its not the first time but he insisted to order from online again for the crunchbars. The last email that she received from Angels'cakes say that they are not accepting any order as of the present.
Reinforcing the office gossip that everythings not well in paradise. There were rumors that the engagement was cancelled as EunJi was caught by paparazzi leaving the condo of Enrique Shaz. The young millionaire that was featured in Forbes magazine a few months back.
Yonghwa didnt issue any statement denying anything but he never became the mild mannered boss everyone knew. It seems he became a monster overnight.
" hey bro.I got here as fast as I can." Min said as he entered Yonghwas condo. " wheres Shin and John?"
" I need to talk to you Min."
Yonghwa turned he is holding a glass of wine on his hand. Five o clock shadow on his chin and his eyes are bloodshot.
" whats happening?" Min asked alarmed at his friends appearance.
He received a call last night from a very drunk and frantic Yonghwa and he is really worried about him. He declined any invitation from their group for the past three months.
Eversince he came back from LA he changed. He wanted to know what happened. But he was scared.
On the back of his mind he knew. Theres only one thing that can mess Yonghwa like this. He saw it. The day his sister left them three years ago.
" She left me again Min. She just..left me without a word." He downed his glass of wine and poured another and downed it again in one shot.
" hey stop that Yong. How many have you drank?" He ask him taking the bottle away but Yonghwa was faster. He walk away and drank from the bottle.
" did you know why she left? She didnt tell me but she cried. She was crying and she left me again.." He said as his free hand slammed on the table.
" I hate her! She left without saying why. But when I saw her.
I ..I c-cant..then, she left just like that.." He suddenly sat on the chair and buried his head on his hands.
Min wasnt surprised at all. He knew. Hes wondering why Pauline didnt tell him the truth.
When she left three years ago he was surprised but then he rejoiced that finally, his sister left.
She will feel the hurt that he felt when their father turned his back on him even though he didnt do anything wrong. He thought that everything will be ok. For a while it was ok. But she didnt return.
They look for her everywhere. It seemed like she vanish without a trace. Their father was so angry that he took her inheritance off and even closed all her accounts.
He was thinking she will be crawling back but years passed and she didnt appear.
Min even hired the best investigator. Yonghwa found her after a year but she vanished again. Since then, Min cant kill the feeling that maybe he was too harsh to her. Maybe he shouldve been more understanding. He tried placing himself on her shoes but the guilt was too much that he squashed it in his heart. He pretended he didnt care.
Now, seeing Yonghwa so distraught again after losing Pauline, he cannot deny the feeling that he was the one who destroyed the two people he loved most in his life.
His bestfriend and his only sister.
He slowly approach Yonghwa and place his hand on his shoulder. His red eyes look at him with so much pain he flinched.
" John and Shin will be here in a few minutes. Why dont you shower and well talk?" He told him. Something in his voice seem to get to him he slowly nod his head.
He went inside his room and Min poured wine on his glass. He will have to tell them what he did. He needs courage to do that.
" hey! hey!" He look around and found John and Shin entering the condo.
He braced himself for the wrath thats sure to come.
