"He left me without saying goodbye. He leave me broken and miserable. How can I move on? Can someone save me from this pain?" - Dara
"I hate seeing you like this. I hated it when he stole you from me, but I gave way because you are happy with him...
"Sir, Miss Sandara Park is Osiris' new business partner." Jinwoo said.
"What? What did you just say?" Jiyong asked.
Jinwoo repeated what he said. Jiyong became speechless for a moment, but immediately recovered.
"Where is noona right now?" he asked his secretary. He wanted to talk to Bom regarding the partnership. If this is another person, he wouldn't involve himself even though technically speaking, he is the real owner of Osiris.
"I think she is with Ms. Park and Mr. Lee right now having dinner, I will send you the location sir." Hearing the urgency on Jiyong's voice, Jinwoo send the location where Bom, Sandara and Donghae are having dinner.
After his secretary sent the location, Jiyong immediately drive away minding how he should approach Dara especially since Donghae is with her. Even when he and Dara are together, Jiyong already know that Donghae is in love with his girlfriend. As much as he wanted Dara to avoid the guy, he knows how she treasure all her friends. He is also worried that Dara might have a panic attack again, like what happened to his apartment the other day. But his worries are nothing compared to his desire to see the Dara more time and to be able to talk to her, so he drove off as fast as he could not minding the honks of the other vehicles his car passed by.
Jiyong arrived at the restaurant. The manager immediately approached him and told him that there is an available table for him. Well, he is Kwon Jiyong after all, and his mother own the restaurant.
He immediately dismissed the offer of the manager and instead asked where is his cousin's reserved table. The manager smiled and led him to Bom, Dara, and Donghae. Jiyong's heartbeat increased as he approached their table.

"This is a beautiful restaurant Bom-sshi..." Dara remarked.
"I know right? This restaurant is owned by my Auntie, Jiyong's mother... " Bom told the two of them.
Surprised by the mention of his name, Donghae immediately cut Bom and asked again the name that she mentioned.
"Jiyong?" Donghae asked.
Oblivious to the tone of Donghae's voice in his question, she answered "Uhuh, Kwon Jiyong of Kwon Enterprise and the co-owner of Osiris and my cousin... Do you know him?"
"Yes" Donghae and Jiyong both answered.
Three heads immediately turned to see the owner of the voice who answered along with Donghae.
Bom smiled seeing his cousin. "Ji! What a surprise! Jinwoo told me you can't join us today. Have a seat."
Dara and Donghae frozened upon seeing Jiyong.
"Long time no see Lee Donghae..." Jiyong greeted with a stoic expression
"Dara..." he greeted with a smile.
First to recover from shock is Donghae and greeted back Jiyong.
"Kwon Jiyong." he greeted back with the same stoic expression.
Dara after recovering from shock, looked at Jiyong and nodded as a sign of greeting.
Bom, being very observant, noticed the tension between the three after Jiyong came. She wanted to ask what is going on between the three but decided to just interrogate her cousin later after the dinner.
"So...you knew each other i see?, that is great then! This project will be easier that i thought." she said with glee, though in the back of her mind she knew this will be one hell of a ride, not for her, but for the three person she's with tonight.
"This will surely be fun..." she thought.

Dara wanted to leave the restaurant as soon as she heard that it belonged to Jiyong's mother. She does not want to have anything to do with him nor his family, however, she does not want to cause a scene.
And Bom was being nice to her and Donghae, and does not deserved to be treated rudely.
Her desire to leave increased upon seeing Jiyong upclose, but seeing Bom excitedly talking made her stopped to do so.
The whole dinner went by awkwardly between the three of them. But she was thankful that Donghae was with her. Whenever Jiyong tried to make a conversation with her, Donghae will interrupt him by asking questions about the project or about Bom and her life which the latter answered willingly.
Donghae's interruption to Jiyong's attempt to talk to Dara made his irritation rised. However, he did not want to make a scene and that made him stop from trying. He knows that a lot of chances will come especially since she will be working with his company. He composed himself and go with the flow of the on-going conversation regarding the project.
"So... when is the date of the launching? Jiyong asked hoping Dara will be the one to answer this time. However, to his dismay his cousin broke it to him.
" It will be a month from now. Fast right? " Bom asked with amusement.
"Yeah, why so?" He looked at Dara while asking, but still, another person answered his question.
"Well, we have a very reliable team that the preparation for the launching is running smoothly." Donghae replied.
"And apparently, Ms. Park has to go back to Canada as soon as the launching finished." added Bom.
Because of this new information, Jiyong was not able to refrain himself on directly asking Dara.
"Why in a hurry to go back Dara? I mean... Ms. Park?"
Donghae was about to answer him, but he beat him to it and lose his composure.
"I'm sorry Mr. Lee, but I am asking Ms. Park." he coldly said.
Sensing the awkwardness of his remark, Jiyong added "As your business partner, I think I deserve to know the reason why everything is on a hurry. Will we have no problem with this fast pace preparation?"
Because of this, Dara had no choice but to answer Jiyong directly. She exhaled first and gave her answer that made the three people with her speechless.
" I have to go back soon because... I need to prepare for my wedding. "
