Listening to advice is always the easy part. However, the ability to understand what you have to do to make the change is always difficult. You have to step out of your slump and work on yourself mentally and physically.

Lucky for Joo ri, she had Eun tak beside her to take small tiny steps to make the differences in her daily life. And to both their satisfaction, it helped Joo ri immensely. Though it hasn't been too long, Eun tak could visibly see the difference in the younger girl compared to the prior week.

She's been eating healthier, taking care of her hygiene and more importantly, she has been spending more time with her brother and sister in law. Being around others and communicating was a major thing that Joo ri needed.

"Place your hands under the lamp and I will be back in a second" Joo ri smiled sweetly to her client and walked over to the till to one of her workers. Standing right behind his seated position, she peeked over his shoulder to find him counting some cash a client had just paid.

It did not take long until he felt her presence behind him. "Oh hey Boss, what's up?" Gu-dol greeted her. Her soft smile faltered as soon as she read the time that displayed on the register. Panicking, Joo ri snapped her head back to the boy. "I need to leave soon. The lady on table 3 will pay soon and there shouldn't be any other customers today." she stated while reading the list of appointments for the day. "Just clean the place up and lock the door. Front and back."

Assuring her with a nod, he sent her a reliable smile showing the braces that trapped his teeth. "Don't worry about me and go before the flight leaves" standing up onto his two feet he grabbed Joo ri's shoulders and turned her body around so she's facing the salon door. Just at that exact moment a figure walked in with his hand occupied with a box of donuts. Lifting her orbs from between the donuts and the male, she spotted a glisten sparking deep inside his orbs.

Eliot - Gu-dol's boyfriend. The sharp model features adorned a loving gaze that was sent right to Gu-dol who quickly let go of Joo ri's shoulder and embraced the other male in a hug.

Naturally, she felt her lips etching widely to the side as she watched the two love birds' mood uplifted tremendously. However, it did not last long. Her once gleeful beam converted when her lips pressed against each other. She felt this strange emptiness swallowing her stomach. Is this jealousy?

Shrugging it off she latched onto her bag and hooked it over her body. "Well I'll see you tomorrow Gu-dol. Bye Eliot" she sent a wave and scurried off into her car before time ran further and further away from daytime.

However, throughout the car journey her mind constantly reverted back to Gu-dol and Eliot. She couldn't help but wonder how it would feel to meet her significant other. There were many times where she now and again thought about who her future partner might be. What kind of person is he? Does he already have a girlfriend? When would she meet him? How old is he and what is he doing at this exact moment in time?

She craved the attention of wanting to fall in love. Maybe it was a result of always being alone. The longing to be with someone. And maybe that's what she needed.

But unfortunate to her, Joo ri hasn't received any signs that she would find her future partner anytime sooner. Instead she found herself to be the CEO of spotting couples everywhere around her. Wherever she looks there is a lovey dovey couple. Like right now. All she did was step out of the car at the parking lot and a young couple in their mid 20's were walking towards the airport entrance hand in hand.

Letting out a hopeless sigh, Joo ri locked her car and walked into the well designed building which she fell mesmerised to. She had always questioned how people were able to build such magnificent architecture. How they are able to make such fine detailed designs and proportionate on the walls and ceilings. It requires so much use of the brain. And just the thought was hurting hers. Yet she couldn't ignore the entrancing sight.

"Here you are. You're late. I began to think you weren't coming" Joo chan scoffed once he spotted his younger sister. Facing back down from gazing upwards for the past few minutes, Joo ri hurried over and linked her arm into Eun tak's.

"I told you I'll be here" she tutted her head to her sibling. Scoffing humorously, he lifted his bag off the ground and held the suitcase handle. "I have to meet with the rest of the team now. We could've talked if you'd come a little earlier" he scowled and playfully glared. They literally see each other everyday. She didn't understand what the big issue was.

Still it was so sudden. It happened 3 days ago. Joo chan came home late and immediately announced that he had a business trip. Truth is, he didn't want to go. But he didn't have much of a choice.

When looking at her brother, Joo ri always felt proud of him. He was hardworking and diligent. As childish as he can be at times, he was caring. Not only to her but to Eun tak as well. She knows for a fact that he will look after her sister in law dearly.

"I'll be back in 5 days." he gently kissed his fiancé and caressed her cheek before looking over to his sister. In an instant Joo ri scrunched up her features but Joo chan sent a teasing smile. Forcefully pulling Joo ri closer he planted a big kiss on her cheek to which the girl rubbed away in disgust jokingly. Laughing he began walking away and pointed a finger towards them. "Don't have too much fun without me. I'll miss you both"

Nodding in unison they waved goodbye until he was out of sight. That was when a plotting smirk played along their features. Dropping their hands down they looked over to one another with a cunning gaze. "What's first on the agenda?"

Cocking a brow, Eun tak's lip slanted upwards with a fire in her eyes. "Clubbing"

Grabbing Joo ri's hand in hers, they both squealed and ran out the airport like two little girls.
