"Where's Yejin? Why she didn't come with you?" Yejoon asked. They we're seated at the sofa in the living room while waiting to Chairman Son. "She have a photoshoot right now and she didn't knew that i went here, hyung." He said. Yejoon got surprised and look at him. "Why? Did you two fight?" Yejoon said. Hyun Bin let out a small laugh and shake his head, "No, I want to talk to Chairman Son and to you Hyung." He said. "Why?" Chairman Son said as he approach them. Hyun Bin stood up and make a bow to Chairman Son, he take a seat after Chairman Son. "It seems like it's really important to went here alone." Chairman Son. "Yes, Chairman..." Hyun Bin said with a smile on his face. "Let's have some lunch first, Mrs. Lee prepared lunch for us. Join us Bin." Chairman Son said. Hyun Bin smile widely and brightly, "Yes, Chairman..." He said. "From now on, call me Halabeoji... You're my granddaughter fiancè and soon to be her husband." Chairman Son said. "Kamsahamnida, Chair- Halabeoji for accepting me." He said. Yejoon smile brightly. Like Hyun Bin, Yejoon also happy because his grandfather accepted Hyun Bin as their family.

After they ate lunch, Hyun Bin together with Chairman Son and Yejoon went to the balcony to have some tea. The whether is nice and you will heard the hymn of different birds. "It seems you went here after your shoot, Bin. You want to rest for a bit? I wll tell to Mrs. Lee to prepared Yejin's room for you." Chairman Son said. Hyun Bin smile before he speak. "No, it's okay Halabeoji... Yes, I went here after the filming but I'm okay." He said. Chairman Son smile and drink his tea. "Okay, so what is the reason for you to went here in Daegu?" He asked. Yejoon is silently listening to them. Hyun Bin let out a deep sigh before he speak. "Halabeoji, Hyung...  I'm here for your blessings." He said directly. Chairman Son and Yejoon look at him and waiting for him to continue what he's trying to say. "I want to marry her before the year end." He said. Chairman Son and Yejoon exchange their glances. "Is she okay with it?" Chairman Son asked. "I told her about it but she take it as a joke. She didn't know that I'm here. I want to ask you first that I want to marry your granddaughter and I won't promise that she will be always happy with me but I'll promise that I will do my best just to make her happy and I will love her for the rest of my life." He said. "Can I have your blessing, Halabeoji? Hyung?" He added. Chairman Son look at him and didn't speak for a second. "You have my blessing, Bin; since the day that Yejin introduced you to me." Yejoon said. "I know you will take care my little sister. Yejin is like a precious gem for me, please take good care of her and don't hurt her." Yejoon added.   Yejoon stood up and tap his shoulder, "I must leave, I know Halabeoji wants to talk to you alone." He said.  When Yejoon left, Chairman Son let out a deep sigh as he look at the sky. "You know what, there's also a guy once said that promises like what you've said. You want to know who is he?" Chairman Son said and look at him. Hyun Bin look at him with puzzlement and he nodded. "Yejin's father... He promised to me that he will love and take care of my only daughter, Hyojin.... At first, I don't trust him like what I did to you before..." Chairman Son said. Hyun Bin is silently listening to him. "But I saw in my daughter's eyes that she really into him and she really love him... That's why I learned to accept him and love him like a son." He added. Hyun Bin saw the pain and regrets in Chairman Son's eyes. "Can I know, what happened to them? I'm sorry if I'm asking, It seems that you regret that day." Hyun Bin said. Chairman Son look at him, "you really wanna know?" He asked. "Yes, they are part of my fianceè's life... And I think I must know it for me to understand her more." He said. Chairman Son smile and sip his tea. "It's a tragic love story... When my daughter got pregnant to Yejin, she learned that her husband cheated on her but she remain silent and she hide it from me." Chairman Son said. "My precious Hyojin, suffered her pain alone without anyone noticed it. She also learned that her husband doesn't love her ever since and from the very beginning, her husband lied to her. He only wants money, wealth and power that's why he approached my daughter." Chairman Son continue. Now, he understand why Chairman Son is not easily trusted anyone because of what happened to Yejin's mother. "Hyojin pretend to be okay until Yejin turned seven. In Jeju Island, Hyojin got a news from her friend that her husband and a lady got an car accident, and he died." Chairman Son said and he let out a deep sigh before he continue. "My poor daughter, couldn't handled the news. Knowing her husband died with his mistress, she got a depression. Then, she committed suicide without her knowing that Yejin saw it." Chairman Son said. Hyun bIn got shocked on what he heard. "That's why I didn't want her to remembered her past anymore. It's very traumatic to her and I'm afraid that I will also lose her just like her mother." Chairman Son said and try to control his emotion. "But until now, Yejin doesn't remember what really happened to her mom. And if she will remember it, I know Yejin is strong enough to handle it." He said. "Bin, just like her mom, Yejin always hide her pain that's why I was worried to her." Chairman Son said. "Now, tell me Bin... Are you really love her? Or not?" Chairman Son said seriously. "I really love her, Halabeoji... And I love her more now and because of what I learned today, I understand her more and I have another reason to stay with her until the rest of my life." He said. Chairman Son look at his eyes and saw the sincerity through it. "I will Give you my blessing, Bin. I will never forget your promise, Arasso?" He said. "Im glad to see her happy and smiling again. Thanks to you Bin." He added. Hyun Bin smile, "Kamsahamnida, Halabeoji... I will keep my promise.." He said. "Congratulations... You're a father now... Visit again next time with my granddaughter and explain why she never tell us about her pregnancy." Chairman Son said. Hyun Bin got surprised and his eyes got widen. "You already know it,  Halabeoji? I'm sorry if I didn't tell you earlier." He said. "Ofcourse, I will know... I'm her grandfather..." Chairman Son said. "Thank You, Bin...  For loving her unconditionally." Chairman Son said. Hyun Bin smile brightly.
