"Ryu"

It's almost came as whisper other than Sarang, SungJin heard it clearly because she was standing next to him.

Another person in the room heard it as well, he lifted his head to meet Sarang's watery eyes. It gave him a complicated feeling. He definitely heard her saying 'Ryu'.

Perhaps he missed her too much so he started to hear things. He shook his head and continued to read the documents.

SungJin looked at Sarang and he followed her gaze which landed on Ye Jun. SungJin frowned his eyebrow then he looked at Sarang who was on the verge of tears.

Sarang realized that she almost let the cat out of the bag, she averted her gaze from Ye Jun and ran away.

'Ryu, what is he doing here?'

JinAe's parents used to celebrate her birthday in the orphanage. Six year old JinAe was very happy to see the children around her age running and playing around.

Whenever JinAe had free time she used to spend her days with the kids in the orphanage.

One day when she was playing with the kids, she saw a guy older than her sitting alone under the tree.

JinAe was about to call him to play with her, but she was stopped by other kids. They said that guy has a bad temper so everyone around here avoid him.

JinAe looked at that guy she felt bad for him being alone. Her parents said that being alone is sad.

She slowly walked to him and squats next to him. That guy seemed to notice her but he ignored her. JinAe tugged at his sleeve, he turned to look at her only too see her small hands holding the chocolate.

He looked at her and then the chocolate. Then he ignored her.

JinAe pouted her lips but didn't say anything. Instead she started to eat the chocolate and quietly sat next to him until her parents took her to home.

Later, whenever JinAe visited the orphanage she saw that guy sitting under the tree.

She did the same thing as before. Squatting next to him, tugging at his sleeve, handing him the chocolate when he ignored her, she ate the chocolate.

Both of them enjoyed their company in silence.

It keep on repeated for few weeks. One day when JinAe ran to see him but she was pouted when he was not there.

JinAe thought he must be sleeping in his room so started to walk inside only to realise that she doesn't know where he sleeps. She scratched her head and started to wander around.

Suddenly she heard some noices so she ran towards that sound.

JinAe was shocked to see that guy was bullied by others. They were beating and kicking him but that guy didn't even bat his eyes taking all their beatings silently.

"It's all beacuse of you JinAe stopped playing with us"

"Yes, she used to give all of her things to us, now she is not even talking to us"

"It must be you, I know you are jealous of us spending time with her. So you must have brain washed her to play with you"

Few kids were still beating him, JinAe gasped and pushed the kids aside who are taller than her, "Stop beating him. You all are bad guys"

JinAe stood in front of him stretching both of her hands shielding him from others.

The kids didn't expected her to be shown up. "JinAe, he is a bad guy. He stole our things. We are teaching him a lesson" A fat guy tried to coxed her.

"JinAe he used to bully us a lot" another girl said to JinAe.

Soon others started to add few things on him.

But JinAe shook her head, "No, he is not a bad guy. I won't believe you guys"

The other kids started to lose their patience.

The fat guy stood in front of JinAe, "Do you even know his name? How can you believe him instead of us?"

JinAe was little scared when she was confronted by that fat guy, "If I don't know his name then I'll name him myself"

Then she turned to look at him and she blinked couple of times, "Ryu, I'll call you Ryu"

The guy who newly named as Ryu stared at her blankly.

Others started to laugh at her. "His name is Ye Jun not Ryu"

JinAe stomped her feet in anger, "I don't care. I'll call him Ryu" with that she grabbed Ye Jun and walked away from them.

She took him to her mother. Mrs.Jin was shocked to see Ye Jun's bruised face. She wiped his wounds and applied some ointment.

Suddenly JinAe started to cry.

Mrs.Jin and Ye Jun were startled to see her crying.

When Mr.Jin entered the room he saw his daughter crying. He rushed to her side, "What happened? Who bullied you?"

JinAe pointed at Ye Jun, "Ryu is not crying. It must be painful for him. So instead of him, I'm crying for him"

Just then Mr.Jin noticed Ye Jun and visibly startled. He looked at his wife who shook her head.

Ye Jun wiped JinAe's tears with his sleeves and extended his hand to her. JinAe looked confused.

As if he understood her confusion, "Chocolate"

JinAe remembered the chocolate she used to give him. She quickly took it from her pocket and gave it to him, "Ryu, this chocolate is my favourite. It's taste so good"

Ye Jun who doesn't like sweet things unwrapped the cover and ate the chocolate. The sweetness was too much for him.

Then he looked at JinAe who eagerly waiting for him to say something. Suddenly he felt that he might like the chocolate.

"It's taste good"

JinAe beamed with happiness, "I told you, it taste good. Ryu, do you want some more?"

Ye Jun wanted to shook his head but he changed it and nodded his head.

JinAe happily gave all her chocolates to Ye Jun which shocked both Mrs.Jin and Mr.Jin. because JinAe never share her chocolates with anyone.

The kids who were bullied Ye Jun were given a light punishment to not to hurt their feelings.

Later JinAe find Ye Jun and started to share her nonsense stories with him. Ye Jun sat next to her and listen to her nonsense slowly.

Mrs.Jin wanted to adopt Ye Jun but because of some difficulties she couldn't which made JinAe unhappy.

JinAe patted his head, "Ryu, don't worry when I grew up very big like mommy, I'll adopt you as my son"

Ye Jun doesn't know whether he should laugh or cry. He just silently nodded his head which satisfied JinAe.

Instead of adopting Ye Jun, JinAe parents made him to enroll in the school which was next to JinAe's elementary school.

That made JinAe very happy. Whenever she have a break time she ran to Ye Jun's class and shout, "Ryu"

The classmates around him teased him, "Ye Jun, your daughter has come to see you"

One day JinAe heard a girl called Ye Jun as 'Ryu'. He punched the wall next to him and said in a voice which audible to everyone to hear that other than JinAe no one is allowed to call him 'Ryu'.

The name 'Ryu' only belongs to JinAe.

JinAe was scared that he might have hurt his hand and started to cry. Ye Jun felt sorry for making her cry again, "If you blow in my wound, it won't hurts"

JinAe blinked her eyes, "Really?"

"Did I ever lied to you?"

JinAe shook her head and blew on his hand, "Is it hurting?"

Ye Jun shook his head and then opened his palm. JinAe understood and gave him a chocolate.

Whenever someone bullied JinAe, the first one who stood for always Ye Jun.

Even after her parents died in an accident Ye Jun protected her. It didn't changed for more than ten years.

Whenever she gets into trouble he is the one who solved it for her. It was because of him she started to show interest in hacking. He was the one who taught her the tricks.

To JinAe,

Ryu was her friend, brother, mentor.

Sarang cried her heart out in the cubicles. It must have broken his heart when he got to know about JinAe.

Did he believed like everyone that she was the culprit?

Did he believed like everyone that she deserved to be locked in prison?

There is no way. Anyone can leave her side expect Ryu.

Sarang really didn't expect him to see again. As far she knows Ye Jun was in overseas with him joined his business but what was Ye Jun doing in Nabi groups.

Ye Jun was capable of starting his own company but why is he working here?

Sarang washed her face wiped it with tissues. She walked out of the washroom thinking whether should she inform Ye Jun that she was JinAe no her soul replaced in Sarang's body?

Sarang shook her head.

Who will believe this nonsense?

Suddenly Sarang wrist grabbed and pulled into the room and pushed her to the wall. Sarang was so shocked to react until she heard the door locked.

She looked up to see SungJin's angry face. What she did, for him to lock her inside the room?
