Let's see. We got our marriage registration, grandpa kim aka Eun-Woo's maternal grandfather called and said tonight is the funeral and sent me the location.

We went back to my place so I could change into a formal black attire. I ride him to the hospital so he could take off his casts. Also ride him to his apartment so he could change a into black suit too. Now we are in front of the funeral location.

"Wait a second, why did you tag along?"

"Caaause.. hmm. Aha, cause we are school friends, of course I should attend Theodores father's funeral!"

"Like I buy it!"

"Like I care if you buy it or no! Don't forget it's my car that brought us here!"

Petty bastard. I really should have bought a car earlier.

"Aren't you getting off the car? I know my car is pretty comfortable, but you shouldn't be attached to other people's darling!"

Fuxxing weirdo. I had got my bad habit of naming my belongings from him. His weirdness got printed all over my childhood. He had even named our desc in elementary. What did he name it again? No way! I looked at him with a half opened mouth.

"Did you really name that desc after your grandfather? Senile Kim.."

"pffft! Cough! Cough! I don't know what you're talking about!" He pretended not to know what I was talking about. After all that cough, really?

"Ah, what should I do? I really think he needs to know what you named that desc! After all, you used to scratch it, doodle on it, and spark it all while shouting Senile Kim, you xxxx xxx."

"Cut the chase! What do you want???" he said while looking at me as he was looking at the most childish yet vicious thing ever..

"You know? I should probably take him in from today! And as you could see, since I'm moving and all, my house is a mess. Please let him stay at your place for the night and I'm taking him tomorrow afternoon! Hmm?" I tried to be as polite as possible. That picky thing wouldn't do a favor if he felt the slightest disrespect.

"For the night or for a whole day??? I'm not good with strangers."

"First, I think we had a trade here! Your secret and my request! Second, shouldn't he feel uncomfortable, not you? A grown ass man?"

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Well, I guess the man talk made him unable to refuse since he reluctantly nodded.

"We will see.."

As we entered the building, Eun-Woo offered his arm to me, which I refused. He, in his customized suit and on his long legs, with freshly shaved face and drowned in his cold perfume, was too much for my pitiful heart to take. The less I am with him, the fewer memories that damned curse will have to remind me of.

First ones to see us were the boys I saw yesterday. Did I mention that despite not having any major injuries, I was out for a whole day?

"That bastard is here!!!" shouted the boy, who seemed to hate me even in the elevator. The one who looked like a mini version of Theodore.

Everyone's heads turned our way.

It was indeed my fault for not fixing the misunderstanding, but I really didn't expect him to react this badly to my presence.

"So, it is you?" said a familiar female voice with visible hate. It was a newly required intern who was under my supervision for a few months. Now that I think about it, her name was Melissa King.

Looking at the man beside me, she became even more furious as she walked towards me. She was a hard die fan of this annoyingly handsome guy beside me.

"How dare you set your feet at my grandfather's funeral? You bastard bitxx?" she said as she raised her hand to slap me.

Before hr hand could reach me, it was griped by Eun-Woo's hand.

[Slap] a loud slapping sound echoed in the hall.

I slapped her so hard that even my hand hurt. Now both Eun-Woo and Melissa were looking at me with widened eyes meanwhile the hall become empty of all the whispers.

Then I grabbed the hand Eun-Woo was still holding and pushed her to the ground. Taking out a wet wipe from my designer bag, I wiped off my hands as I went through the hall. In front of the chairman's coffin I lighted a candle, proud and tall.

If there is one thing that I learnt from grandfather Bright that is to be proud and show it in my actions. After all, actions talk more loudly than empty words.

After I lighted the candle, I heard Mr. Kim's voice.

"Dear child, you came.."

"Gulp. Hello.."A bit shocked because of his sudden arrival, I respond awkwardly. Thankfully, he didn't seem to know about what I did earlier..

"Come here, I should introduce you to Jame's children."

He offered his arm. This time I took it, feeling Eun-Woo's dagger casting glares on my back..

Well, he could have been as loving and gentleman as his grandpa. Then perhaps I would accept his offers, too. Who knows?

Grandpa Kim escorted me to a group of people sitting on the first road of the hall.

"Hello uncle Tomas!" a middle-aged man stood up as he shook hands with grandpa Kim.

"Hello, Timothy. I'm here to introduce someone!"

The man looked my way with an unreadable glare as he stretched his hand towards me.

"I'm chairman of King's eldest son! Thank you for coming to be a part of his departure ceremony"

I shook his hand.

"I am Dawn Bright. My utmost condolence." I said, trying not to look at the hateful stares of Melissa.

"She is the legal guardian of Lucas that chairman appointed before his death. "

"What? Why would grandfather give his guardianship to her instead of one of the family members?" Melissa almost shouted.

"I know her from the hospital. She is a poor thing who clings to the rich! How can we trust Lucas's assets to her? What if she embezzles late uncle and aunt's inheritance?"

"Didn't you just answer yourself?!" came Grandfather's voice from behind me.

"You shouldn't worry since she's got more money than you have and will inherit a lot more than you will ever! Why? Cause, unlike you, she entered my hospital with her own capabilities and showed her worth to the professors. Because she's my favorite granddaughter and cause I'm richer than Jame's was! And lastly cause I'm a pettier person than James was and I will not tolerate your awful behaviors towards my Dawn and based on the apology Dawn receives from Timothy I might decide if you will ever find a job in this country or not!" Grandfather's voice was very neutral and even had a hushed tone. However, I'm sure everyone here heard his voice clearly.

After he finished talking, he dragged me to the other side of the hall and we sited there until the end of the ceremony.

On the way out, as I saw Diana and Theodore, mother's message came to mind..

"Don't come to Theodore's father's funeral. It is important for Diana to have a peaceful atmosphere at her Fiance's father's funeral."
