KISS NOTE
THIRTEEN: The First Part
Seungyoon had already told his friends what Choi had told him, but Mino still kept the question he asked Kiss Note about the drug for Ataxia, which was an impossible question.
Now he was at the door of the room in which there were people who would look for orchids as Kiss Note told him. His face looked serious about the path he was taking now for the sake of Aeri, although Seungyoon had already warned against receiving any help from Kiss Note. Now compared to Seungyoon's warning, he prioritizes Aeri more.
Mino holds the doorknob and opens it, inside she is greeted by secretary Han –people who contact Mino, “Professor,” greet secretary Han.
“Gentlement, this is professor Dong Mino, the owner of the mission you will do.” Know secretary Han. The people who had been standing on Mino's back began to turn around and look at him.
“Professors, they are the ones who will do this mission. He's Mark from Mississippi,” Secretary Han pointed to the burly white man on the left end of Mino.
“She Takeshi from Japan. He's the Blues from Mexico and the one on your right end is Joe Taslim from Indonesia.” Follow secretary Han.
Hearing the origin of Joe Taslim, Mino walked up to him, “Are you sure, you know Borneo very well?” search Mino.
“I was born there and also have some good friends there, especially people near Mandarang river.” Joe Taslim said confidently.
“Okay, you can flight tomorrow, I’ve prepared all you need for the mission. All. You just need to search the flower and bring it to me. It will more good if you bring with the root too, I’ll pay more for it.” Mino looked at them while hoping for this mission to succeed before time ran out.
“The flower only bloom for three days, stick my words in your head.” Mino gave a warning.
“Oh, you are not going with us?” ask someone named Blues.
“No, I have much to do here,” Mino replied.
“Never try to bring the flower to another. I will find and kill you for sure.” Threat Mino.
“How about the payment?” the Japanese man interrupted.
“When the flower arrive in my hand, I’ll pay you as much as you want, just say the nominal and I’ transfer it to your bank account. And for your information, I already transfer five hundred thousand dollars as downpayment.” Mino turned around and walked out of the room like a big boss and left a sigh of admiration for the team.

A few days earlier
Jinwoo made an appointment with Kang's president and his wife as Seunghi's doctor by not including Seunghoon in the appointment.
Chairman Kang and his wife arrived at Jinwoo's room where Jinwoo was invited to sit. A nurse came to bring two cups of lavender tea for Jinwoo's guests. Chairman Kang showed a guilty face, as did his wife. Jinwoo understood their feelings which is why he gave lavender tea to calm the mind and reduce the anxiety of both.
After making sure the president Kang and his wife started to relax, Jinwoo slowly took a breath while still staring at them, “you guys are okay?”
“You shouldn't have to ask.” President Kang replied.
“It's been the job of a psychiatrist asking like ‘what's up? why that? you all right? how are you feeling?’ that sort of thing, Chairman Kang.” Respond to Jinwoo by engraving his trademark smile.
“Don't listen to him. You can ask me, Jinwoo.” Said Kang Jiyoung, the mother of Seunghoon and Seunghi who was greeted with a smile from Jinwoo.
“I asked for your time to meet because I think you are more entitled to know the current condition of Seunghi even though President Choi takes full responsibility for this,” open Jinwoo who began to get the attention of the couple.
“I think Expressive Writing will be more efficient for Seunghi to undergo therapy but not so successful. I remember she went to design school, so I changed from Expressive Writing to Expressive Drawing to make her more free to express herself. Turns out right, Seunghi drew some pictures that seemed to represent him telling me.”Jinwoo handed over a clipping document to president Kang and his wife after explaining what he got during Seunghi's treatment.
Kang Jiyoung –presidential wife Kang received a clipping document that Jinwoo provided. Her hand touched the first picture she saw, “it was the same picture of a dining place I saw in Seunghi's room in your house.”
“But Seunghi drew very different from the one I saw in the room that time. The dining place looks neat with food arranged on it, as real and different from the messy original. It has meaning, do you know what it means?” jinwoo's explanation made Miss Kang's eyes glaze over. Slowly, madam Kang shook her head not knowing while president Kang was just silent.
“Through that picture, Seunghi said ‘mom, your cooking is so good. Although placed in a place that makes me cry, but does not change the taste.’” Jinwoo mentioned the message from the picture that Seunghi made. Mrs Kang couldn't hold back her tears that filled her eyes, her sobs breaking with the feeling she had been holding onto Seunghi.
Jinwoo pointed at the picture that is on the right side of the clipping, “picture of this tuxedo suit is the picture that Seunghi aimed at you.” Jinwoo.
“’Daddy, you become very handsome and dashing if you wear clothes that I made especially for you.’” Jinwoo gave the message behind the picture that Seunghi had made. The message made President Kang lose his power and try to hide his grief.
Mrs Kang turned the clipping sheet in tears, until she found a picture that made her heart even more filled. Jinwoo looked at Madame Kang's hand that stopped at a picture, he took a deep breath.
“Seunghi drew it two days ago, I assumed it as a portrait of your family. Chairman Kang, Aunt Jiyoung, Seunghoon and himself. The message I got from this picture is that you're finally going to be together like you used to. No matter how long Seunghi needs for you, president Kang, to take it back, he will still wait and be sure one day you will hug him and say ‘my daughter’.” It was clearly Jinwoo who made President Kang's grief break.
Not only sobbing, President Kang cried bitterly because of the enormous guilt towards Seunghi. He lowered his head to hide his crying face from mistress Kang and Jinwoo, president Kang even hitting his chest that felt stifling. Jinwoo did not plan to calm her down, because the only way for President Kang's feelings to escape was to let her cry.

Forgiveness is much harder than apologizing. If you are able to forgive the mistakes of those who hurt you, rest assured that you have become a better person. Be a forgiving person to make your life better.
