LOCATION: Ha Joon's car, stuck in Mid-Day Traffic, Naingsud Garden Road, Myit.  Time: 12:55 PM

LEO: *Sitting way too comfortably in the back seat*  Not bad, Hyung. For someone who lost their company 500 million dollars, you seem to have a very quiet phone. I don't think the people in your office miss you too much.

HA JOON: *Glares through the rare view mirror*  Shouldn't you be in school?

LEO: *Beams*  Ate pulled me out of school. She was missing me too much. *Looks out his window.*

Ha Joon looks at Ana, talking on her phone - The only person in the world who would miss this punk ass.

His gaze alternates between the road ahead, and Ana – You're working. Finally, you're out of my parents' dictatorship.  He looks fondly at Ana - I know how driven you were to join SeroniX after college.

Looking away, he clenches his jaws and stares at the road ahead - But to marry me, you gave it all up. 

Ha Joon exhales his disappointment.  But I'm glad you started working. I know, one day you will make your way back to SeroniX. A smile grows on his face.

Ana finishes her call and places her phone on the dashboard, taking in a deep breath through her nostrils – It's done.

The housing situation settled, her attention fixes back on the source of her pain - No more waiting for Ha Joon at the door.

She turns to look at Ha Joon, her heart sinking to her gut – I don't want to leave.

HA JOON: *Takes a quick glance at Ana*  I've heard about A June's Paradise.

Ana memorizes the sight in front of her - Ha Joon's smile, non-existent for 3 years, but for some reason it keeps making an appearance every few minutes, and those damn long fingers. 

Her eyes glance over his fingers for a milli-second, but that's enough to memorize the left ones, casually resting on the steering wheel, and the right ones, lying on his right thigh.

This is the closest I will get to you. I don't know if I made it up to you, but now that you're out of your shithole, I have to leave. I have to walk away from you. I don't want to, Ha Joon. 

I don't want to.

HA JOON: I'm surprised you work there and not at SeroniX.

LEO: *Smirks*  Works? *Locking eyes with Ha Joon in the rear-view mirror* Ate started the freaking place.

Ha Joon's head jerks to Ana – Excuse me?

ANA: *Smiles*  It's not a well-known fact.

Ha Joon's glance, shifts from Ana to the road ahead, and back to her. – You can say that again. I read the fucking history of A June's Paradise this morning and nowhere and I mean NOWHERE was your name mentioned.

Ana's phone rings, swiping it to answer, she holds it up to her ear.

ANA: *Into the phone*  Hello *Listens.*

LEO: *From the back seat*  She started it a week after your wedding.

Ha Joon looks at Ana, a sharp pain piercing his gut. – You did what?

LEO: As if Ate was going to sit in the house doing nothing. Seriously Hyung, what did you think Ate was doing these past 3 years?

TIME SKIP:

LOCATION: A June's paradise, JCT ROAD, Myit. Time: 1.25 PM

A world class facility, with the feel of a modern corporate office, A June's Paradise looks and works as a MNC rather than an NGO.

Ha Joon walks dazed as Leo leads the way to Ana's office - What the fuck, Ana?

ANA: *Concerned*  Ha Joon, are you okay?

Ha Joon locks eyes with her, pain raising in every corner of his body.

ANA: *Concern growing*  You don't look well. *Holds his arm*  I think you should sit down.

Leo opens a door to their right and Ana leads Ha Joon in.

LEO: Welcome to Ate's office.

He bites the inside of his cheek – 3 years late, but not that Ate is complaining. What is with this freaking love? 

HA JOON: *Being walked to the couch*  I'm fine.

LEO: *Watching from Ana's desk*  Not according to your face.

ANA: When was the last time you ate? Is your sugar low? *Ha Joon stays quiet* I'll get you something. *Walks out of the room.*

Ha Joon looks around at the small but elegant office – Ana's office.

HA JOON: *Dazed*  I thought she was busy socializing with the *Tries to recollect*  the ladies club, what's it called?

LEO: *Sitting on Ana's desk*  Ate wouldn't last more than 10 minutes in such a place.

Ha Joon shakes his head, ruffling the hair on the back of his head, aggressively.

HA JOON: No, I'm sure. Ommonim kept praising her for attending all the luncheons *Looks at Leo for answers* and even hosting them.

Leo, with his irritation rising, fiddles with the stuff on his Ate's desk.

HA JOON: Ommonim said-

LEO: *Angry*  That was to get the loaded twats to loosen their purse strings so that this NGO could be funded. *Leans on the desk, biting the inside of his cheek.*

Ha Joon inhales a deep breath through his mouth – How blind was I?

HA JOON: *Looking unsure*  All of this started a week after our wedding?

Leo nods, clutching the small potted plant in his hand. – Ate loves him. Ate. Loves. Him.

Ha Joon springs off the couch in frustration. He takes a sharp turn and stops, the wall of photographs takes his breath away: posing with smiling teens, Ana looks happy, radiant even.

He looks into each frame, pain rising in his gut – She was happy. She was doing what she loved. And I spent 3 years thinking she was living the frustrated life of a regular housewife. How the fuck did things end up like this?

HA JOON: *Eyes still on the frames*  When my parents forbid her from working, I thought she gave up-

LEO: *Smirks*  Ate and giving up. Have you met her? *Leans off Ana's desk.*

Ha Joon takes the chiding silently.

HA JOON: What else have I missed? *Turns to look at Leo*  How did she manage to build and run such a successful organization in such a short time?

Leo, walks past Ha Joon – What am I, freaking Wikipedia? Now that you are suddenly interested, you want me to tell you everything. Fuck off, Ha Joon. I'm not Ate, I don't have infinite patience to deal with your pathetic ass.

LEO: I have to make a call. *Walks out of the room.*

Ha Joon stands alone in the quiet office – Ana's office.

His heart fills with pride before it sinks with guilt – For 3 years, you've had happiness around you, except in the most important place, in your own home. 

Fuck me Ana, what the hell have I done.
