"Ji-Ah, are you all good?" my mother questions me after I packed the things I think necessary for this travel. "I think I am," smiling at her, I gesture for the maids to bring my luggages down as our driver is already waiting outside.

"You better be good there okay? Do not let anyone intimidates you," her hands brush the astray hair away from my face, "Of course, Mom. I'll let hyung knows that you missed him so much!"

With one final hug, I aboard in the car, waving to everybody as there figures becomes blurry until out-of-sight.

"The madam sure will miss you, Young Lady," our driver, Mr. Lee says while looking at the rare view mirror. "I know. I'll miss her too. All of you." I can't help but be emotional at this moment. I'm leaving the place where I grew up to go to a place I'm barely familiar with. This feeling is like 7 years ago and this time, I'm going back to where I'm originally from.

-

"Young Lady, we are here," I felt a gentle shake on my shoulder and from opening my eyes, I saw a smiling driver Lee.

"I didn't know I'd fallen asleep. The heavy traffic was really something!" I exclaimed while stretching my limbs after I got off the car.

"Indeed, it is. Please take care of yourself, my lady, once you get there. If anyone bully you, call right away and we'll avenge you!" Mr. Lee punched the air making me laugh in the process. "Don't worry, Mr. Lee. No one will dare. I can manage it. Please take care of my mom for I won't be here for a long time." I smiled at him and he shuffled my hair, "of course, silly child. We will even if you don't say to."

"I am now rest assured. I can travel in peace." with one final glance, I entered the private airport where I was greeted by men in black.

"Miss Han, this way." one of the men ushered me the way and when I'm settled, another man handed me a phone, "Miss, the Chairman wants to speak with you before we take off."

Accepting the phone, I placed it on my ear, "Dad," I answered. "Princess, finally! I can't wait to see you. Tell me, do you need anything before you arrive? Let me know and I will have it ready for you," my father continue asking questions by questions. How long has it been since I last saw him in person? 3 years maybe? Ah, yes. That long. I saw him when he made a business trip to England, but not for long as he was with his mistress.

"I'm fine, no need to bother."

"But, Princess, I --"

I turned off the phone and gave it back to the man who handed it earlier. That was the queue and the plane took off.

-

"Miss Han, I'm Secretary Choi. Your father asked me to pick you up." A man in his mid-20s greeted me.

"Asking what I want but did not even bother to pick me up himself. Funny." I walk past him and he followed suit.

"The Chairman has a meeting with a client this afternoon so he could not make it," the secretary tried to explain but I've tuned him out. I don't want to hear his excuses.

"You must be tired from your travel, the chairman already fixed everything for you so we can go straight home and you can rest."

Silence filled the atmosphere until we arrived at the mansion.

Nothing much have changed from what I can recall of this place. It's the same house I grew to love as we were once a happy family here. It was my home but the vibe is different now.

Plopping down on the bed, I fished out my phone from my pocket and sent a quick message to my mom telling her I arrived safely.

My life will be different from what I'm used to starting today. However, as they say, do not think of something that hasn't happened yet for it will take your energy and will surely caused to ruined your mood.

Taking in the familiarity of my room, I close my eyes and rest. I'll have to get my energy amd meet everyone later.

-

A knock on the door caused me to wake up. A maid entered.

"Miss, it's already late. Dinner is ready. They are waiting for you downstairs."

"I got it. You may take your leave." The maid bow her head and walk out the room. Following after a moment, I was greeted by my father and brother, "Princess," my father stands from his sit to come hug me and so is my brother. Not everyone knows that the chairman have twins so you can see the shock on the faces of the people when they saw me enter the dining hall.

The dinner went as normal. My father, talking about business while occasionally asking how's my life abroad. My brother, who's always silent with his poker face will also butt-in sime questions from time to time. However,I cannot help but to feel a little sad a mom is not here. It would have been better if she is, but she and father had been divorced a long time ago.

I'm sitting in the living riom when my brother decided to join me. "Joon Woo-" I hug my brother as soon as his sitted taking him in surprise, "There, there," he pats my head and hugged me back.

"... I miss my littles sister too. I'm sorry I was not able to visit last year for mom's birthday. How is she?"

"She's great and she misses you so much! It's a shame she's not able to take a leave as ther are some problems that needs her attention at the company. It's with her models again, the usual."

"Mom... she's always like that. I understand. We can just visit her together next fall, can we not?" my brother's reassuring smile makes me happy.

"Then, next fall it is!" I agree and sit properly. "Hyung, I remember, the class begins in 2 weeks, yes? I should get familiarize myself within the neighborhood at least!" a twinkle in my eyes shines like no other, I can feel it! Yes, I will go outside!

Standing abruptly, I loss balance and bump myself wuth the coffee table infont and it hurts!

"Ya! Ji-ah, are you okay?!" my brother rushes to my aide and now crouching down with me on the floor.

"Woo! Such talent I have there!" I tried to joke but he is always the serious one between us two. "I'm fine Joon Woo, really. This always happens." I smiled at him and stand up. I jump and jump to prove that it's fine and rushed to the door to get outside.

"Silly. You're going out alone, be careful!" I heard my brother shouts and I just wave him off.
