Zhan's POV

I woke up because of the sunlight peeking through the curtain and falling directly on my eyes. It took me a few moments to adjust my vision.

'where am I?' 'Ahh..my head' 'oh..this is my bedroom' 'wait.. what is JiLi doing in my bed?'

Slowly I started remembering all the commotion that happened yesterday. I didn't even realise when hot tears started streaming down from my eyes. Yesterday I was very happy, the day went smoothly but my world got upside down after the evening.

When those people told me they were there to vacate the place I could not control myself, I started sobbing. It's my uncle's dream. To have his own cafe.

This cafe represents uncle's hardwork, Manaow and pond's laughter, their constant bickering on choosing the colour, hwiyoung's suggestions, JiLi's designs, my happiness and ofcourse our happy times.

yes..it represents my family...my source of happiness my uncle, my naughty brothers and my possessive sister. How can I let it go. It always shows the proof How lucky I am to have such wonderful persons in my life. It assure me that I am loved, there are people who love me, care for me. Who are willing to spoil me and always ready to listen to me.

Now I'm feeling empty, Helpless. I want to cry. I'm scared. I'm afraid I'll not be able to protect what is mine.

"I'm sorry, sorry..I'm very sorry"

"Ahh.." I cried in pain.

"Gege what happened.. Zhan ge". JiLi panicked "shit, ge calm down.. breath.. breath.. " "gege" "look at me.. hmm" he stroked my cheek "shh..shh..calm down" he was on the verge of tears "breath .. please" "ge ..ge" "ge!!!!"

My chest is tightening.. I..I.. can't breathe... It's suffocating.

"Uncle, hwiyoung help" he screamed.

I don't know what is happening everything seems blurry. I can't feel anything. I only remember JiLi's tear stained face before falling into darkness.

Your POV

Uncle was in kitchen when JiLi screamed. He ran towards Zhan's bedroom.

"What happened?" "Zhan!!!"

"Ge passed out again" JiLi said in between sobs.

"Get some water"

"O..k" he reached the bed side table "here"

Uncle started sprinkling water on Zhan's face. Slowly he opened his eyes.

"Zhan my baby don't scare us please" uncle's eyes were red.

"I'm sorry.. sorry.." Zhan started sobbing.

"It's not your fault, please don't be sorry" uncle assured him.

"Zhan ge" Hwiyoung was sleepless the whole night; he kept coming to check on Zhan, in the morning he fell asleep. "Ge are you alright? Why are you crying?" He asked concerned.

"Don't cry please" "You know, my brother Zuho came yesterday while you were sleeping and he said that everything will be alright" "he is one of the best lawyer you know, he will handle this"

"Really" Zhan looked at him expectantly, surprisingly he stopped crying.

"Yeah really" hwiyoung smiled at him.

"No one can snatch our cafe?"

"Hmm. No one can" he ruffled Zhan's hair. And Zhan knows if hwiyoung said this than he definitely means it, he felt relieved.

"He is the best in such matters" "Now get up and wash your face you look like a tomato" he pinched his nose.

"Yeah hwiyoung is right. Get up, get up" JiLi pulled him out of the bed and pushed him in the washroom.

"Finally" JiLi took a sigh of relief "only you can handle him" he smiled at hwiyoung.

"Boys freshen up you have to go to office, I'm preparing breakfast. Hmm?" Uncle said.

"Ok uncle"

Uncle Yoo went downstairs to prepare breakfast. He was deep in his thought while cooking. The door bell rang indicating someone's arrival and uncle knows very well they will be here.

"Coming kids" he said on his way to open the door.

"Uncle how is he?" As expected this is the first thing they want to know.

"He is all right, JiLi & hwiyoung are with him. They will be here, take your seat I'm preparing all of your favourites"

Manaow and Pond made themselves comfortable but they were anxiously staring at Zhan's bedroom.

Their face lit up when they saw Zhan's face.

"Ge"

They ran towards him and wrap him in a warm embrace. Hwiyoung and JiLi also joined the group hug.
Uncle just smiled at them.

"You forgot about me" he said pouting.

"Hahaha sorry" "come come"

And Uncle also joined the group.

"No matter what happens just remember every morning brings a lot of possibilities" " be happy and always stay together"

"Ok kids now let's have breakfast"

"Yeah uncle" "Let's go I'm hungry" Manaow pulled Zhan towards the kitchen.

Everybody took their seat. Uncle started serving, JiLi helped him. They started eating while cracking jokes, trying very hard to make Zhan smile.

After eating the boys helped in washing the dishes and Manaow started whining in front of Zhan about different things making him chuckle. Finally she is satisfied after seeing his smiling face.

Really Zhan is very lucky to have such wonderful people in his life. He always get the courage to face the world no matter what happens, just because of them. They make him complete.

JiLi and hwiyoung went to change as pond already brought their clothes. Pond came to chat with Zhan.

Zhan was now smiling as he have nothing to worry about as long as he has his Iron men and lady beside him
