                Moonbok opened the door to reveal a spacious modern-style office with the city scenery behind the work desk, a black leather sofa set, a flat screen TV mounted on the wall and a collection of thick books on the shelves against the wall. Dawon gasped as she entered the room. "This is my office?"

"Of course" Moonbok threw himself onto the comfy sofa. "Enjoy it while I take a nap here"

"Yah" Hyunbin pushed him aside so he can sit.

Dawon walked to the desk where there was a flat screen monitor with a few document files arranged at the edge of the desk. She turned to the photo frames arranged neatly on the drawer. She picked up one of it and scanned the picture. "This is her family"

Donghyun who went through the documents on the desk looked up to her. "Yes. Whole of them. That's her aunts and uncles at her grandfather's house. Her grandfather moved far from the city last year. That was when they were celebrating it"

"But" her eyes went to Wendy parents who were at the edge of the picture. Their faces almost didn't make it into the photo. "Why is Wendy eonni here? Where is she? And why does her parents look" she lifted her head to Donghyun. "They look sad. Like they fake their smiles and happiness"

"Kids sure have sharp eyes" Donghyun smirked and approached her. "You may see Wendy's life as perfect, but there something that she kept from everyone's view. She dislikes her family. Especially her grandfather"

"What happen?" "Well, adults like to act in all of their actions, right? Wendy's parents dislike her aunts, uncles and grandfathers too. But they pretended to be happy with them. Both her parents knew how unfair her grandfather is. Wendy's grandfather owns a massive and rich company. He owns many lands. But now he retired, he gave all of his fortune to his children. But he didn't left any for Wendy's parents. Though her parents are the only one who often pay him a visit every week. Wendy thought her grandfather was unfair and so she hated him so much he didn't even want to see him for any family event. Her aunts sure talks badly about her behind her parents. And her parents knew about it but they ignored them. Because they knew God is fair and one day they'll receive something in return for their action"

"Wendy's parents are such incredible people. They're able to stay calm when they're thrown with harsh words" Dawon remembered how she involved in a fight just because people bad-mouthed about her. "Not like myself" she whispered to herself.

"So who is she truly close to in her family?" Dawon asked. "Well, there is this one cousin of her" Donghyun tried to recall. "But I don't really remember his name and how he looks like. But he's always there for Wendy and so did Wendy"

"That's good that she at least has someone to lean on beside her busy parents. Poor Wendy eonni. She must be lonely at home because she has no other sibling unlike me" she turned to him again. "Do you think I can help solve her problem?"

"You know you shouldn't try to solve other's problem when you can't solve your own problem" Hyunbin advised. "Yah" Moonbok nudged him.

Donghyun smiled to Dawon. "If you have any idea how to help her, tell us. We can surely help you. But I warn you it will not be an easy job"

A phone rang and they looked around.

"Is it your phone?" Dawon asked Donghyun. "No. My phone is on silent mode" he replied. Dawon dug into her bag and saw Wendy's phone. It was ringing. She began to panic. "What should I do?"

Donghyun took her hand to look at the caller's ID. "Oh this guy"

"Who is calling?" "This is Eric. Your family interested to engage you with him" "Engage?"
