Jaejoong's phone rang. He took it out and looked at the caller id. It was Yuki.

Yuki: Jaejoong, where are you now? I thought you were meeting Jaein at the cafe? How come I can't find you two?

Jaejoong: Huh? How come you know about our meeting?

Yuki: I'm your secretary remember? And Jaein called me to make the appointment for today.

Jaejoong: WHAT?!!! She knows that you're working with me?

Yuki: Yeah. I've also told her that I'll be meeting you after the meeting. I asked her to join us for lunch too. Didn't she tell you?

Jaejoong: I can't believe this...

Yuki: Yobosayo... yobosayo... Jaejoong... Are you there?

Jaejoong: Just quit, Yuki... And leave me ALONE...

Yuki: What are you talking about? Where are you now?

Jaejoong: HAVEN'T YOU ALREADY CAUSED ENOUGH HARM TO MY LIFE?!!! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO MADE ME THE WAY I AM TODAY... IF YOU STILL TREAT ME AS A FRIEND, JUST QUIT AND LEAVE... I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN...

Yuki: Jaejoong... What's going on? Is this... because of.... Jaein?

Jaejoong: Yes... Your irresponsible and promiscuous behavior made me lose the only woman who truly loved me...

Yuki: But you don't love her right? You love me! That's why you left her standing at the door when you saw me that day, isn't it?

Jaejoong: No... I USED TO love you... But that was BEFORE I realised what you were REALLY like... I was in love with your façade... Not you... Jaein is the one I love then... And still am in love with now...

Yuki: I don't believe you... How can she compare to me? I'm so much better... In every way!!!

Jaejoong: She may not be better than you in terms of family background and looks... But she doesn't put on a fake front, unlike you... And... Her love for me is pure, she gives her heart to me and doesn't expect anything from me in return... That's why I love her... Not you...

Yuki: You'll regret this... I guarantee...

Jaejoong: My only regret is not rejecting you that day...

Jaejoong ended the call and left the room heavy-hearted. He thought hard of how he could attempt to win Jaein back. He knew that she must still love him. But what could he do to make her believe him again?

Monday - Merger meeting between Kim Holdings and SM Holdings at Park Law Firm...

Jaejoong arrived early at the firm and Micky had Jaein tend to him in the meeting room before the SM Holdings party arrived. Jaein brought Jaejoong to the meeting room and showed him his seat. She went about preparing the room for the meeting, laying out the documents. The coffee lady came in and arranged the beverages. Jaejoong observed Jaein as she worked silently. But he didn't say anything as the coffee lady was around. After she left, Jaejoong took a deep breath and wanted to explain things to Jaein. But the door opened suddenly...

Micky: Over here Mr Lee...

The director from SM Holdings and his lawyer walked into the room with Micky. Everyone shook hands and did their introductions. Then they settled down to discuss the terms for the merger agreement. After a lengthy discussion for an hour, everything was settled. They wanted some changes to the terms, and Jaejoong was agreeable, so Jaein was to make the revisions and send it to them for a preview before the final signing a week later.
