Andy loves spending some time with his mom but now he’s scared to meet her this time as she keeps on asking him to go on blind dates hoping that he would someday forget about the girl he had left behind 9 years ago. She felt guilty when they separated them. Both his and her parents just got so scared that things might go out of hand as they both showed too much affection at such a young age. So they all agreed to separate them for the time being and if the time comes, and they still felt the same way then they will let them be together. But not until they reach that certain age that they can be responsible for their actions.
Andy and his mom agreed to meet in their favourite restaurant that day. Andy was living with Minwoo in the university dormitory. And they seldom see each other as he’s also working part time. “Andy-ga, I want you to meet this certain lady next week. She was introduced to me by a friend and she seems a nice girl to me. Will you come this time? Please don’t make excuses again, araso?” she told him. “Omma, as much as I love you but I’m really sorry, I’m not meeting this girl. I know what you’re up to you want me to get married as soon as I finish Architecture, but I’ll only marry the girl I truly love not just any girl I met through match making. Mianhe Omma” Andy told his mom and apologized. “But Andy you’re not getting any younger anymore, do you want me to wait longer? I didn’t mean that you get married as soon as you finish your course. All I want is for you to find a girl to love again, that’s all.” his mom explained. “Omma, I still have so many plans for my future. I still want to do further studies, and I promise myself, I’ll only marry the girl I left 9 years ago. If not her then I will not marry anyone at all. Omma, I really love that girl from my past and I won’t stop till I find her again.” Andy explained. His mom went silent. She knew that her son was still in love with her even if 9 years have already passed. “Andy-ga, I didn’t ask you to come today for this talk. I want us to celebrate your graduation tomorrow. I can’t believe time goes by so fast. So how does it feel?” she asked him. “I feel relieve Omma, now I can go back to Korea and be with her. Wait! I hope you still remember your promise 9 years ago.” He told her, and looked at her earnestly.
His mom just laughs and said, “Cree, I can’t hold you here anymore. You’re a grown up man now. Here’s our gift to you.” And she handed him a brown envelop. He was surprised to see what’s inside. His parents gave him a unit in Seoul, and a job is waiting for him there. And if he wants he can even do further studies in Korea or even any part of the world he just have to say it and he’ll have it. “Omma, you didn’t need to get me a unit. I could always use our old house.” He told his mom. “Andy-ga, our house is really far from the company that you’ll be working when you go there, so it’s better if you live somewhere near it.” She explained. “Araseyo, Omma.” He said hugging his mom. They continued their chat before Andy drove his mom back to their house. He needs to go back to his dorm that night to prepare for his graduation the next day.
When he arrived, Minwoo was already there. He was so happy with what he got for his graduation. He too had dinner with his family, and they’ve allowed him to stay in Korea for good, and even got a job waiting for his return. Andy was so happy for him and he told him what his parents gave him. “Chongmal? They allowed you to go back?” he said and couldn’t believe what he just heard. “Yeah! It’s true look. They even gave me a place to stay in Seoul.” He said showing the documents his mom gave him. “Yeah, hyung! Next week Korea here I come!” he shouted happily.

A week later.....
“Hyung are you sure they’re coming to pick us up?” he asked Minwoo. “Of course, I talked to Hye Sung hyung before we took off. Wait, they are here.” He said and runs to where their Shinhwa brothers are.
Andy scanned the place, he’s looking for a certain person that he’s been missing for 9 years. “Andy-a! Looking for her?” Dongwan asked him. “Hyung, where is she? Why she’s not here? She didn’t know?” he asked him back. “She’s not in Seoul right now.” Some answered from his back. It was Eric, and he slowly walk towards him. “Hyung, what do mean she’s not in Seoul?” he asked him worriedly. They all laugh, “Relax bro, she just went to Australia for a hotel renovation project. Didn’t you know she’s one of the most sought after aspiring interior designer in Korea?” he said then diverted his gaze to the other man, “Minwoo-ya, didn’t you tell him about it?” Minwoo just smiled and said, “Ottoke! Bro I forgot to tell you. Mianhe!” “I thought she’s a fashion model?” he asked. “She is! But she also wants to become an interior designer just in case she’s not fit to be a model anymore she has something else to land on.” Eric explained.
“Arata! So when is she coming back?” he ask Eric. “She just left yesterday, she’ll be gone for a couple of months. But she’ll come back to Korea from time to time. She still has some fashion shoots to go to” replied Eric. Dongwan hug him from the back and said, “So we have time for ourselves. Andy-a when you see her you wont believe it’s her. I swear.” And he smiled sheepishly, this made Andy curious on what really happened to her for the 9 years that he left her.
“Alright boys! Where are you staying?” Junjin asked. “Minwoo hyung and I have an apartment in Shinjung-dong.” Andy answered. “Alright let’s go there first, then think of other place you want to go after.” Eric said and took Andy’s luggage.

“Andy-a, you got yourself a really good apartment. You got nice view here.”Dongwan said. “I didn’t pick this one, it was given by my parents as a gift. Oh! By the way, I can’t play with you today longer. Mianhe, it’s just that I have to go to the office tomorrow. It’s my first day of work. I promise to make it up to you guys this weekend. Okay?” he told them.

In Australia Solbi was busy with her work. It was her first time to be there, but she wasn’t happy at all. She wanted to do the job in Canada but her schedule didn’t permit it. She desperately wanted to see him. It’s been years since the last time she ever saw his face. She’s wondering how he is and what he’s been up to. She didn’t get any news about him for the past 9 years that they’ve been separated. She wants to know the reason why he left her. She wants to know if he loves her the same way as she does towards him.
“Miss Solbi, are you with us? Your thought seems far away.” The general manager said a bit disappointed with her. “I’m sorry, I was just thinking about something regarding the project.” She replied. “We thank you for accepting our offer to you.” the gen. Manager said. “We’re happy to accept the offer. Even though I’m just new in this field you still chose me to do the job. Oh! By the way, when is our deadline for this? Are we in a hurry or we can take our time?” she told the Gen. Manager. “The owners of the hotel want it done by the end of this year if possible, but they’re open for some delays if things don’t end up as expected.” He replied. “Ok then let’s start our meeting.” Solbi told everyone.
The meeting lasted for hours, and Solbi was really tired after. She decided to stay in the hotel as others went out to have fun before their work starts in 2 days. In her hotel room she decided to have a long bath to relieve her jetlag. She didn’t realise the time flies so fast and it was nearly midnight. She went to where her laptop is and checks if her brother is online. She was in luck he was still online, she forgot about the time difference they’ve got. So she gave him a buzz and:
Prince_ Eric : Omo! How’s my little princess? What time is it there? You’re still awake? Have you eaten?
Tiger_princess : Oppa, I miss you! How’s Omma and Appa? How are my Shinhwa brothers? Not bothering you today? What’s new there?
Prince_eric : everything is fine here. Don’t worry too much. Bi-ah, when are you coming back for the shoot? You have to come home or we’ll be in big trouble remember that. You’re manager keeps on calling me every 2 hours since his morning just to remind me to call you and tell you about your schedule. Am I your secretary? You better bring me something nice, arachi? And I have a surprise for you when you come back.
Tiger_princess : what is it oppa? Why wait till I come back. Tell me now. Please
Prince_eric : yah! I told you that surprise is for your comeback. Be patient alright. Mianhe, I have to go now. Junjin and Dongwan are here. We need to meet someone. Talk to you next time alright?
Tiger_princess : its okay oppa, I need to sleep now anyway. It's past midnight here. Just give my love to everyone. Saranghe oppa!
Prince_eric : Araso. You take care of yourself there Bi. Call oppa if anything happen alright? Saranghe my princess, Sweet dreams.
Prince_eric is now offline
“I really miss them already. What could the surprise be? Well I’m still needed here and my photo shoot is still in 2 weeks time. I can manage to wait.” She said to herself. She went to sleep thinking about her family and friends and the boy that she longs to see. She wondered when their paths will cross again. Or will they ever see each other again. She knows he’s an architect that’s why she aspired to be an interior designer hoping that one day she’ll be able to see and work with him.
Still in her heart she hopes that he still love her the same way as before. As she has always love him even though they’re miles apart, and even though she didn’t get any letters or phone calls from him in the past 9 years. He’ll always be her first love.
