"Won't it benefit you more to love me instead Ryu Min?" He continue his question .
You are speechless, how could this insensitive man asks you such a question. Ryu Min issue is a real deal for you. He is just happened to discover about your one side love towards his younger brother but it doesn't mean he can play your feeling just like this.
And why would you get a benefit for loving him? Because of his fame? His wealth? His autority? His question offend you. It is feel that he takes you as an easy woman who will readily fall over a guy just because of his face and money. Your face is hardened.
"I'm leaving" without answering his question, you walk out of his room, leaving him in confusion.
Ju Min is merely being curious, he doesn't has any hidden intention. He never being curious of other people business expecially about woman. But when he is seeing you, your swift expression when looking at his face he becomes curious of what your mind is thinking.
He doesn't understand why he is curious about you, because all of this time his curiousity is all focused on his only beautiful companion, Elizabeth 3rd. He takes a glance on the sleeping cat and walk toward it.
"Elizabeth 3rd, I think I offended her, but I don't understand why?" He starts his "dialouge" with the cat.
He is curious of what you love about Ryu Min that is not in him. He understand that he has a very different character from his brother. Since a little, Ryu Min never interest about learning business and economy. Their parents keep pushed the two son to study about the business to inheritance their company, but Ryu Min never good at it. So their parents give up on him and focus on training Ju Min.
Ryu Min daily activities focus on art, sociality, photograph and etc. He finds his own world which is very different than their family setting. While Ju Min is raised as the future Chairman. Their contradiction make the two sibling rarely spend their time together and growing much distant after they become adults.
"I wonder how she will looks at me if I am the one she loves" Ju Min muttered to his self. Was it only a mere curiousity or something else? He will try to figure things out.

It is the time for Ju Min to heading back to Korea. His driver and his assistant Lee Hyu Ri already waiting outside the hotel.
There is no expressions on your face, and Ju Min wonders if you are still upset on him. They enter the car and heading to the airport. You explains about Ju Min schedule after back to Korea. At this time Assistant Kang must already waiting for him. After explaining the schedule you keep your mouth shut. Sometimes you would pat Elizabeth who comes to you, but that's it. The car filled with silence.
"Assistant Lee" Ju Min call you when you arrived at airport. Both of you standing outside.
"Yes Mr Han" you are being polite and formal. Ju Min walks over you and staring on you, seem like he tries to discover something through your eyes.
"Are you upset?" He finally asks. You answer with a simple no. But he knows you mean otherwise.
"I appologize if I offend you" you are quite taken aback with his sudden apologizing. You never think that he is a kind of person who would appologize so easily and for all this time all of his behaviour proves it. He always become someone who doesn't mind about people feeling, so it is really unusual of him to apologize like this.
"After I think it over, I feel like a jerk for saying something like that. I don't have any hidden intention though, I just being curious.... And that's all.... I don't know if you feel offended by my curiousity" he tries to explains. After realizing what he did, he tilts his head and murmuring to his self, he doesn't understand why he should explaining about his reason to you like this. He never care about people opinion of him before. So he never tries to explain about him to anyone.
"Listen..... Sometimes no matter how curious you are about other business it is better for you to not ask" you speak out your mind.
"Ryu Min..... Is an important person for me, and everytime there is an issue about him , it makes me become all sensitive...." you explain about all of your feeling last night, how he makes you feel, what are you thinking about him, and all. You being honest and didn't hide anything about your opinion of him being arrogant.
After listening to you, he chuckles soundly. "I never know that listening someone badmouthing me can become really intriguing like this" he comments.
"I'm sorry....." You appologize about your bad comment about him. He shakes his head and thank you instead of being honest. You don't try to smooth talking him to be on his good side. And he likes you for that.
"Well..... Even though you offend me last night, but me too.... I also appreciate for your honesty to me. I prefer that" You smile sincerely. He smiles back in respond. You remind him again that not everyone could deal with his rude comment of honesty so maybe he needs to think carefully before talks to other. And he inform you that he would think it over.

After a long week business trip Ju Min comes back to his office. He hears a knock on his door and assistant Kang soon apear infront of him. He just call her over.
"What do you think about assistant Lee joining RFA?" without any other chit chat, Ju Min gets to the point, not even let Jae Hee sit down.
"What?" Jae Hee can't grasp the sudden question. RFA is a foundation that created by V and Rika. They were make a big fundraising event every year with various guest and make every income they get to make a donation. RFA gives a lot of adventage for a lot of people. But since last year they can't held any event because the main member has died. So Ju Min question about you becoming a member is not something that could been predicted by Jae Hee, and it surprise her.
"Why suddenly....." Jae Hee can't finish her words because of Ju Min interuption. "It's not suddenly.... I think it over for days.... Assistant Lee can work as good as you and impress people as good as Rika"
"It's gonna be such a waste if we dismissed RFA due to V and Rika's death.... I don't think they want us to do that too.... Don't you think they would be happy if we continue what they started?" Ju Min ask Jae Hee.
"You are right Mr Han.... But did you tell Hyu Ri about this yet?" Jae Hee confirms him
"Not yet.... I plan to ask other member's opinion about this before asking her.... I hope everyone wouldn't refuse. So I ask you first because you are here, what do you think?"
"I don't know yet.... I still feel the mourning, I will think it over." She gives him an uncertain answer. He doesn't like it, but he let Jae Hee to go after remind her to wraping her mind around soon.
Ju Min takes his phone and soon log in to their group chat application. It is a special application that developed by Seven, a genius hacker who also a member of RFA. Since the death of the two main member, anyone isn't as active as before. So it is the first chat that Ju Min send a message since months ago.
"It's been a long time.... What do you guys think about welcoming a new member and continue the fundraising?" Ju Min start the conversation.
Everyone's phone is vibrated, Yoo Sung a university student of the last year who is busy playing game is the first one who read the text.
"a new member? Are we really going to continue the foundations, Rika will be really happy over there. I'm all in 😁" Yoo Sung give his respond.
Zen, a musical actor who is now in the middle of workout realized that the RFA application give him notification. He is not quite happy that Ju Min is the person who start a discussion but yet he kinda glad that the group chat get it's life again.
"I'm not pleased to be interupted by you on my workout, but I like the idea of a new member and continue the foundation too.... But is someone you recomended can be trusted? I can't believe you" Zen gives his sarcastic coment toward Ju Min's idea. They can't get along really well with each other but as a member of RFA they can't help but to be related together often.
Now Seven, the genius and free spirit hacker read the conversation. He is typing his usual perky comment.
"Wohoo..... A new member? Is it a human? Or a cat? Is it Elizabeth 3rd sibling or something? It's really rare for Ju Min to make a good relation with another creature but a cat 🤓"
Reading the word cat Zen who is alergic to cat can't handle the idea of it. For God sake, Ju Min really did ever recomended his fur ball Elizabeth 3rd as RFA member which is very irasional, but yet he did it anyway.
"I against a cat member! NEVER!" Zen strongly reject.
"Calm down Zen, it's a human... She is a new assistant in our office...." Soon Jae Hee sends a comfort for him. She always been his fans and enjoy his theater.
"She???? It's a girl? Is she pretty?" Zen is being enthusiastic now. The idea of meeting a new girl is lifting his mood. He has been single since years now. This very topic flare Yoo Sung spirit who is also never in relationship. Now they talking about the possibility of start a new relationship with the subject of a woman they never know before. And it's make Ju Min feel uncomfortable.
"She is taken" Ju Min makes an absurd statement. He knows that you are single, but saying that you are taken is not really a lie, or so does he thinks. At least your heart is taken by a certain person he knew.
"Does she.....?" Jae Hee who also know you, questioning his statement. She is not sure if you are in any relationships now. But Ju Min change the topic soon to draw everyone attention away.
"Anyway. If everyone agree I will inform her soon. I guess you can't complain too assistant Kang. I'm leaving now" Ju Min end the conversation.
