"Kyaaa!!! My little Jae-jae is home! I missed you so much!" Kyu Jong was practically smothering his younger sister with a bear hug while calling her with the nickname he used when Jamie was still a teenager. Jamie had to struggle out of his arms so she could talk.

"Oppa, I told you it's Jamie, not Jae-jae! I'm 23 you know, not 15!"

"You're still my little Jae-jae" Kyu Jong said, enveloping her in his arms again.

"Ya! I can't breathe!"

They were inside JjunJae Garden, the bar and restaurant co-owned by Kyu Jong with his best friend Kim Hyun Joong who is also the chef. Kyu Jong decided to close it that evening so that they can privately celebrate Jamie'sreturn. The establishment stands beside the Kim 's two story house and is connected via a door from the restaurant kitcheninto Kyu's home office . Kyu Jong always wanted a business that he can managefrom the comfort of his own home. The money used to build the restaurant came from the inheritance that Kyu Jong after their parentsdied from a car accident 7 years ago, just before Jamie left for college.

"Sweetheart, let go and give your sister a little space will you? You've been hugging her since you guys came from the airport. I'm starting to get jealous". Kwon Sun Mi, Kyu Jong's girlfriend said laughing as she watched Jamie wrestle her way out of her brother's grasps, but Kyu Jong only hugged her tighter.She arrived earlier while the siblings were on their way back from the airport to prepare dinner with her cousin Hyun Joong.

"Please let me go Oppa..."Jamie pleaded.

"Never!"

"Junnie! Help me!!!" Jamie called out to her twin by his nickname.

Hyung Jun walked in after taking a phone call and found Jamiestruggling in Kyu Jong's arms with Sun Mi on his side trying to pry heraway from him.

"What's going on here?" he asked.

"Your brother is trying to suffocate your sister" Sun Mi answered, trying her best to pull Jamie away but failing. Kyu Jong has his eyes closed and was smiling, clearly enjoying what he's doing.

"Ani,Sun Mi .I just missed her too much"

"Get off her you big gorilla, that's not how you show affection to your sister" Hyun Jung said. He tugged Jamie off of Kyu Jong who finally let her go.

"Whew! Thank you Junnie. I was-wooaaahh!!!!" Jamie was caught by surprise when Hyun Jung suddenly threw her over his shoulders then started running around the restaurant screaming, "JAMIE!!!! BOGOSHIPOYO!!!!!!"

"Put me down!!! Junnie!!" Jamie kicked her legs in the air and started pounding her fists on Hyung Jun's back. Kyu Jong and Sun Mi sat by the bar and watched the twins in amusement.

"Your brother is such a kid" Sun Mi told Kyu Jong.

"He is when Jamie is around. He missed her, we both did."

"At least she's home now" she smiled at Kyu Jong who wrapped one arm around her shoulders and pulled her near him.

"I know. At least I can watch her closely now and not be worried about her being too far away" he said while watching his younger siblings play around. "Where's Hyun Joong?"

"In the kitchen. You know him, once he gets started in that kitchen you won't see him again until everything is done."

Hyung Jun finally gets exhausted running around the restaurant with Jamie in his shoulders. He put her down and hugged her again. "Mianhe, you know how much I missed you right?" he said, giving his twin a toothy grin.

"Aaw, I missed you too ..." Jamie pinched Hyung Jun's cheeks. "But please don't do that again, or else I'll run away and go back to the States" she lets go of his face and stuck her tongue out at him.
