Inside Yuqi's room.
Closing the door shut, Yuqi sat down on the edge of her bed and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
Walking towards her wardrobe, Yuqi took out a black file which had many paper cuttings and printed articles.
Yuqi mockingly smiled while caressing an article which said: The heir of the legendary Yang family of country C, Yang Zixin got engaged to the only daughter of the Pi family.
Flipping through the file and reading the articles one by one, Yuqi smiled. Her Zixin was a very successful man now. Not only did he inherit his father's business but had also expanded the Yang Empire in a very short time. All his accomplishments, each and every news about him, Yuqi had kept them safely inside a file.
Wiping her tears away, Yuqi kept the file inside the wardrobe and sat down on the couch.
.....
Downstairs.
After changing into a fresh suit and combing his hair neater and cleaner than usual Jeonsan came downstairs.
Looking around when he spotted an empty seat, he frowned, "Where is Yuqi?"
Pointing towards Wonwoo, Somi murmured, "It's his fault."
Jeonsan pursed his lips and glared at Wonwoo before rushing towards Yuqi's room.
.....
Inside Yuqi's room.
"Yuqi, I am coming in." As soon as Jeonsan entered the room, Yuqi turned to the other side and started wiping her tears.
Jeonsan sighed and helplessly shook his head. "How many times do I have to tell you not to cry like this? You know I hate seeing you like this." Squatting down, Jeonsan wiped her tears away. "Everything is going to be okay."
Pouncing into her brother's embrace, Yuqi cried her heart out. "He said he would come back. He said that he would never leave me. He lied to me."
Jeonsan's heart ached for his little sister. This wasn't the first time she had cried in front of him. This wasn't the first time she had said those words.
Right after their graduation, Zixin left country S. Before leaving, he had asked Yuqi to wait for him back. He promised her that he would come back after dealing with everything to which Yuqi readily agreed. She was willing to wait for him till the end of the world. But after Zixin left, Yuqi never saw him or heard of him ever again.
Four years passed by but Zixin never contacted her. Yuqi tried very hard to find ways to talk to him but he never responded to her emails or messages. And finally one day she heard a big piece of news about Zixin, the news about his engagement with some other woman. Yuqi's world turned upside down when she heard the news. At first she refused to believe it but later when Jeonsan confirmed the news, Yuqi left heartbroken.
"Why did he ask me to wait if he had no intention of returning back? Why did he promise me? Why?" Yuqi shouted before crying harder.
"Ssshhh calm down." Jeonsan patted her back and kept consoling his little sister.
"Brother Jeonsan you have to break his legs whenever you see him. Beat the shit out of him for making me cry and breaking my heart." Yuqi complained.
Jeonsan smiled and nodded his head. "Don't worry, I'll definitely kick his ass hard."
Pulling away, Jeonsan kissed her forehead and said, "Everything is going to be fine okay? Just give it a little time and space. You are my brave and strong little sister and Li's don't-"
Cutting him off, Yuqi said, "Jeon's don't cry."
Pinching her nose, Jeonsan nodded his head. "Don't forget that."
.....
Downstairs.
When Yuqi and Jeonsan came down, Jeonsan straightened his suit and fixed his hair when he saw the only woman he had been admiring and loving for the twenty five years of his existence.
"Jiyun." Yuqi shouted before rushing towards her childhood best friend.
"Yuqi." Jiyun squealed excitedly before pouncing into her embrace.
Swirling around, Yuqi screamed excitedly, "God I missed you so much, when did you come back?"
"I came back yesterday." Jiyun answered before eyeing at someone who was still standing near the staircase with a very gloomy expression on.
Wonwoo dramatically gasped and held his chest. "Ahhh sister Jiyun how could you do that? You came back yesterday and you are only coming here? You didn't even tell big brother about it? Ahh how sad and heartbroken he must be feeling."
Looking at Jeonsan, Jiyun pouted her lips and placed her hand on her hips. "Sad? Heartbroken? Well, he doesn't look sad or heartbroken though."
Jeonsan's already gloomy expression turned even more gloomy when he heard that. Not only was he sad or heartbroken but he was also angry because Jiyun left the country for six long months when he was out of the country. He could not even meet her and see her off to the airport before she left. And in addition to that, she had arrived yesterday but Jeonsan had no idea about it as well.
Without saying anything, Jeonsan dashed towards his room.
After Jeonsan left, Yuqi smacked Jiyun's arm.
"Will you stop teasing my big brother? You know how sensitive he is to the things that you do or things that is related to you."
"Well, he has to open up and tell me that. I need to know that he misses me the way I miss him." Jiyun reasoned out.
"You know he loves you a lot right?" Yuqi whispered.
Jiyun chuckled and nodded her head. "Yes I do know that but wouldn't it be great if he says that and not you or me?"
.....
Jeonsan's room.
Taking off his tie, Jeonsan tossed it aside. Taking off his suit as well, Jeonsan pulled out his shirt which was nearly tucked and also unbuttoned his shirt.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"Wonwoo go away, I don't have time for your shit right now." Jeonsan shouted.
Turning the doorknob, Jiyun entered the room.
"I thought you were about to leave for office." Jiyun said before walking towards him.
Sitting beside him, Jiyun placed her head on his shoulder and asked, "What happened? You seem upset."
"When did you come back?" Jeonsan asked.
Without waiting for her reply, he answered his own question, "Yesterday."
"And when are you meeting me? Today." Jeonsan grumpily nagged about being ignored.
