The next morning Mirae came back to the apartment that they are living together. The apartment that he saw Kyler cheating with her on their own bed.
She stood there for a bit while as she sigh and taken the courage to open the door again.
Kyler was there having a coffee and he looked like he was expecting her to come home.
"You came back..." Kyler said as Mirae didn't respond. She just went straight to her closet. "Hey I'm sorry, I just got mad about last night. You tend to work when it's our first anniversary, why would you lie like that?" He asked as he back hugged Mirae.
"You know that we're not perfect human beings right babe?" He asked as Mirae almost puke on how disgusting Kyler is.
He stared at Mirae as she didn't say anything.
"Babe?" He asked as Mirae elbowed him and looked at him in the eyes. "How could you touch me when you just touched another girl last night." He asked as Mirae stared at her.
"Mirae..." He called again.
"Stop calling my name!" She shouted as her voice cracked. "Mirae, Your starting to be a bad girl." Kyler said as he got close to her.
"Kyler please let's break up..." She pleaded the thunder struck as it reflects in the apartment window. Hearing such stuffs from Mirae makes Kyler's blood boil as she grabbed her hair.
"You cannot do this to me! You cannot leave me as I risk everything just to be with you!" He shouted.
"I choosed you so you better choose me too!" He added as Mirae starts feeling pain.
'Where did we get wrong when we were so happy back then?' Mirae asked herself as he remembered the past.
Mirae walks towards the school when Kyler kept on bugging her to answer his proposal on going out together.
"If you have nothing else to do Kyler just leave me alone." Mirae said as Kyler sighed knowing how hard headed Mirae is.
"Anyways I heard about the Christmas party in the coffee shop. Are you coming?" He asked as Mirae thought about it.
"I hate the cold." Mirae answered as Kyler smiled. "I see then we should celebrate it on your home then he said.
"Pardon?" She asked as Kyler smirked at her. "What I'm saying is that we should spend the Christmas at your house." He added.
"Hmm, Don't you have a family to spend your time with them?" She asked as Kyler immediately dodge the question.
"What cake do you like? Don't Christmas usually spend with cakes and champagne?" He asked as Mirae slowly nodded.
"Then strawberry cake it is..." She said as she thought about Christmas for the first time. She never thought about Christmas since they never really get to spend it that much.
Her father was always working and she was always left home alone with lots of injuries. Mirae was only thankful that she get to go home with no injuries anymore.
December 24th came as Mirae got herself a fried chicken to share with Kyler when she arrived home her things are already outside.
"H-Hey! What are you doing?!" She asked stopping them from taking out her things.
"We are moving your things as this house had been now sold to the bank." The person in charge said as Mirae got confused.
"This place is owned by my father! What do you mean by bank-"
The man showed her some receipts. "Your father loaned a huge amount of money and since he's not paying at all we have no choice but to get his house and the things inside. We already get your personal belongings as we are not that evil. You can go on your way now young missy." He said as Mirae lost hope.
They left and locked up the house and taken Mirae's key. Mirae sat down on the corner of the gate as the snow starts falling and it starts getting cold.
On the other side Elian Jung and Kyler Jung together with the chairman are having a dinner.
"I heard that the business is doing fine in the coffee shop Kyler. That's a great report to begin with well of course it's all thanks to Elian." The chairman said as Kyler smiled sadly with his sarcasm.
"Of course after all I just did what uncle said." He explained as he looked at the time.
"Seems like you have other plans rather than staying at home Kyler." The chairman said as he's getting into his nerve for always looking at the clock.
"I just had some plans today and -"
"Hah! Are you hearing this Elian?! This child doesn't want to spend his time on this old man?! What can you say about that?!" The chairman asked as Elian sighed and looked at Kyler.
"Cancel your plans, Your grandpa wants to spend time with you." Elian said as Kyler clenched his fist.
"I cannot, I already promised someone." He said as that hit the nerve of the chairman.
"You useless kid! How could you be so arrogant! You should have spend some time today at home since this is the only time that we can spend it together completely-"
"Stop with the acting gramps, It's not like you really wanted me here anyway." Kyler said as The chairman was stunned.
"Kyler." Elian called with a warning tone.
"It's true uncle! The chairman doesn't care if I'm around. I'm sure he just agreed to let me join here because of you!" He shouted.
"You ungrateful brat!" He shouted as Kyler stands up.
"I swear if you leave this table Kyler Jung I'll take that coffee shop away from you!" He shouted as Nam Li sighed with the sight he was seeing.
"Sir we should all calm down." Nam Li said as Elian just stared at his nephew.
"Then take everything I don't care." He said as he left the table.
"You see that Elian?! That fvcking bastard just disrespect me in this table!" The chairman said.
"You shouldn't had pushed his button like that. The coffee shop grew by his skill not mine. You should have just complimented him not me." Elian said as he continue eating.
"So your still protecting that b*tch son?!" He asked as Nam Li looked at Elian.
"He is still a kid father." Elian said as the chairman sighed.
Kyler had his driver dropped him off on Mirae's house with the strawberry cake he bought but he just saw Mirae outside her house in the cold snow.
"Mirae, What are you doing outside?" He asked as Mirae looked teary. "We lost our house with some loan shark. I don't know what to do anymore Kyler. " She said as she starts crying.
"Hey, look at me it will be fine." He said. "How will I be fine Kyler?" She asked as her tears fell. "This is the only place where I get to feel safe and now it's gone." She whispered as she lost her voice.
"Hey, We'll figure things out so don't worry." He said as he knows back at home his Uncle cannot help him anymore but he need to ask anyway.
He made a call as Elian answered his call.
"Yeah?" He asked on the other line. "Can you find me an apartment uncle, Mirae just-"
"You do realize what the chairman meant by taking the coffee shop right?" Elian asked on the other side.
"I know." Kyler said as Elian smirked. "Then why are you asking my help when my father already disowned you?" He asked.
"Please don't do this to me uncle." He pleaded.
"Hmm I'll give you one wish, Tell me what do you want before we loose contact with each other." He said as Kyler looked at Mirae crying in the cold.
"Please..." He whispered as Elian looked at them in the window where they followed.
"Please what?"
"Please save us." He said as Elian looked at Nam Li.
"Okay." Elian answered as he turned off the call. "Why are you doing this to him sir?" Nam Li asked.
"If he's being disowned by my father it will be much better for us since he will soon be searched by his mother. If I can protect him this way then why would I interfere?" He asked as Nam Li sighed since Elian is also making sense after all.
"Nam Li Hyuk, Find them an affordable apartment and pay the first month of it, the rest will be their problem. About their work in the Cafe I don't think Kyler should be there anymore sohe should find another work to begin with. This time Kyler's on his own now." Elian said as he did a lot for his nephew already.
"Mirae Kim, Her father loaned a huge amount in the loan shark. Do you think her father left not because to find work but to escape his debt in Korea?" Nam Li asked as Elian find it interesting.
"The girl that Kyler interest had an interesting story to begin with. I hope they'll live happily ever after." Elian said as he closed his window.
