Two weeks have passed since Seunghi was admitted to the Lee group's hospital. Chairman Choi came to visit and also received updates on the development of Seunghi's mental and physical health. But something happened, not only were the president Choi and Jinwoo shocked, Seunghoon, Mino, Taehyun and Seungyoon who also came were surprised to hear Seunghi's shrill yelling in the nursery that was specially prepared for patients with certain conditions.
“Oppa!! Oppa!!” Seunghi called Seunghoon clearly.
Feeling called, Seunghoon immediately ran towards the special room where Seunghi was. Upon arriving in front of Seunghi's room, President Kang and his wife and several bodyguards had been standing at the door blocked by several nurses, including security officers at Lee's group hospital. The door opened and Seunghi was clearly frightened.
“Seunghi-ya!!” Seunghoon breaks into the crowd to meet Seunghi and immediately hugs the younger brother who almost has trouble breathing due to excessive fear.
“It's okay, Seunghi-ya. Oppa is here.” said Seunghoon to appease Seunghi. He rubbed Seunghi's back to provide comfort and security.
“President Kang.” call Jinwoo.
“Do not interfere, Lee Jinwoo. Get Seunghi out of here!” president Kang's orders.
Chairman Choi, who had already contacted his bodyguards, ordered that the nurses be joined and the security guards obstruct President Kang. Instantly the mood changed. There could have been a tremendous commotion because both presidents insisted on their wishes, one wanted to protect Seunghi, the other wanted to torture Seunghi in his way.
“All come with me now except the nurse. Soon!” the voice of President Choi is rising. No one can circumvent the orders of Choi's president including Kang's president.
Chairman Choi then looked at the two bodyguards he had brought. With a swift both of his bodyguards were focused on staring at him to hear President Choi's orders.
“You should take care of Kang Seunghi from now on. Don't let any of Kang's family visit Seunghi. Not dad, mom even her oppa. Take care of Seunghi even more than you keep your lives. YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND?” President Choi's orders went down.
"GOOD! PRESDIR!". Shouted they were ready to execute the command.
“But he's my son.” Refuting president Kang.
“You still dare to call him your son after what you did to him? I think Mino needs to fix your brain.” Sindir Chairman Choi.
“But, hyung—”
“I'M NOT HYUNGMU, KANG DAESUNG!” the anger of president Choi was already at the top, there was nothing that President Kang could do but sigh heavily.
Hearing the ban made others think, why was Seunghoon also forbidden to see Seunghi? While only Seunghoon was on Seunghi's side.
“Lee Jinwoo.” Call president Choi firmly.
“Yes, president?” answer Jinwoo.
“Do your best to restore Seunghi as before. Don't worry about anything, I'll take responsibility for everything that has to do with Seunghi. No one can take Seunghi from here. Even briefly. You understand?” firmly president Choi.
“Good, president.” Jinwoo replied briefly.
“I heard there was a problem with his lungs. Make sure Seunghi regains health for his lungs. You have no problem doing regular checkups for Seunghi here? I will take care of all also pay you for this.” explained president Choi.
“You do not need to pay me, Seunghi is like my own sister.” reject Mino about the payment that will be given by president Choi.
“Kwon Taehyun! You're the cruelest, aren't you? Anyone who's going to see Seunghi should get your permission first. If you don't give me permission, neither do I. Remember, anyone! That means Kang Seunghoon is also included even though Seunghoon is her brother.”
Taehyun nodded in understanding. Then he remembered something, “If you may know, why can't Seunghoon find Seunghi?”
“Because a weak child like him could have used his father again to bring Seunghi out of here.”
“Choi Seungyoon.” call president Choi.
“After the accusation, you should have asked me for an explanation instead of going straight away. I don't know anything about this, which I know Seunghi is continuing his schooling in New Zealand. Pull up your word about being ashamed of Choi's surname, and you'll still be using Choi's first name. You will remain my son and I am your father.” Chairman Choi looked pityfully at Seungyoon, there was affection flowing from the gaze of president Choi.
“Sorry, dad.” says Seungyoon briefly.
“Follow me now if you still consider me your best friend, Kang Daesung!” Said president Choi flat. He left followed by President Kang and his wife. The tension felt was gone with the departure of President Choi.
Mino let out a long sigh, “astaga.I did not expect to face President Choi whose emotions would be so stressful like this. Seungyoon-ah, your father is really terrible.”
They chuckled while Seunghoon lowered his head in disappointment at the decision of president Choi. Seungyoon and the others realize Seunghoon is not laughing with them, Seungyoon pats Seunghoon on the shoulder.
“Hyung, my father was not that cruel. You can still see Seunghi.” Entertain Seungyoon.
Seunghoon raised his head to look at Seungyoon, “You will talk to him on my behalf?”
“Eh why should I? You're his brother, dare you talk to my father. Okay well? Demi can meet Seunghi.” Seungyoon teases Seunghoon by raising his eyebrows.
Seunghoon spread his gaze. He stared one by one the faces of friends who had been more like brothers. The support from them Seunghoon could feel just from the gaze alone. Seunghoon smiled, his spirit returning after previously finding it very difficult to get through this alone.
