Chapter 5: The Proposition

Scene 1

“Yes, I’m interested in her, but not in that kind of way. You know very well that I like you very much and I’ve already given up my playboy act. There is no need for you to be jealous.” JunKi assured her.

She gave him a curious look. “Do you think you could fool me? I can tell that you like her when I saw the way you looked at her.”

“But the guy that dragged her out of the room is her boyfriend. Isn’t he? It’s against my principles to steal someone else girlfriend.” He explained.

“In case you want to know, they’re just acquaintances.” She told him.

“I don’t care about other women beside you. You’re the only woman for me. To prove my love to you, I’m willing to settle down with you.” His tone was low and serious.

“Are you serious?” she asked.

“Yes, I’ve never been more serious in my life. Think about it and give it some thought.” JunKi said.

“I promise to think about it.” She nodded her head and gave him a lovely smile.

“Okay, let’s go. I’ll drop you off to your place.” He said tenderly.

The moment JanDi and JunPyo arrived at the mansion, JunPyo carried her out of the car and lifted her body on his shoulder. He walked upstairs to her room while JanDi was struggling against his held.

“Put me down right now or else I’m going to scream.” JanDi exclaimed.

“I dare you, if you want halmoni to see us in a compromising position. What do you think she would do?” JunPyo threatened her.

When he reached her bedroom, he lay her down on the bed, “JunPyo, please don’t do this. I..I’m not ready.” she began to panic.

JunPyo slowly climbed on top of her and whispered, “Shush…..I promise I won’t be doing anything to you. Let me stay here for just one night with you.”

He placed his arms around her to prevent her from moving. JanDi was too restless to fight him. After a few minutes, they both of them fall asleep in each other arms.

The next morning, JanDi slowly opened her eyes to see the man sleeping beside her. Her hand slowly traced the outline of his face, her fingers rested on his lips. She leaned closer to him then he suddenly reached for her and planting soft kisses on her face.

“Stop it..go to your room.”

“Shh..let me stay here with you for a while.” He lingered in bed, unwilling to leave the warmth of her soft body.

“Let me go or else I’m going to be late for work.”

“It’s okay. I’m your client so I can tell you when to report to work.” He muttered against her cheek.

“Hurry up and get up. Halmoni will be looking for us in any minute now.” JanDi pushed him off her bed.

“Yah!!, are you trying to kill me JanDi?” he cried out in pain.

“No, it’s not my intention, but you left me with no choice. Go back to your room JunPyo. I need to take a shower and get change.” She told him

“Alright, why don’t we take shower together?” He gave her a naughty look.

“Are you crazy? You’re really testing my patience. Get out of my room now.” She threw her pillows at him.

Scene 2

At 9 o’clock, JunPyo and JanDi arrived at Samsung’s building. JanDi spotted JaeKyung near JunPyo’s office

“Good Morning, Shelly.” JanDi greeted her.

“Oh, hello JanDi. I’m waiting to see JunPyo since I’ve some work to discuss with him.”

“Why don’t you come to my office? JanDi and I will be discussing about the merger plan today. Do you have the draft of the merger plan?” JunPyo asked.

“Yes, all of the legal documents are in this folder. I also include our company's financial statements, employment agreements, real estate and property holdings.” She handed it to him.

JaeKyung sat next to JanDi. “It’s nice to see you again JanDi. I’m sorry we didn’t have a chance to talk yesterday.”

“Oh, that’s no problem. Both of you were busy last night.” JanDi said.

JunPyo started to go over the documents with JanDi and JaeKyung. The merger dateline is in two weeks. They spent the entire morning reviewing legal documents together and discuss about the terms and conditions on the merger plan.

“JanDi take a look at this merger plan and the financial statements. I need you to prepare the merger contract and agreements base on this plan.”

“Sure, I’ll draft the merger agreement and contract in details. It’ll include the terms of each company’s rights, responsibilities and liabilities.”

“Let me know if there are any documents you may need.” JaeKyung informed her.

“Thanks.”

JunPyo glanced at his watch. “It’s already noon, let’s go out for lunch.”

JunPyo took them to a nearby Italian restaurant. While waiting for their food to be served, JaeKyung recalled what JunPyo told her last night.

“JunPyo mentions that you live at his grandmother house. How did you end up living there?” JaeKyung was curious to know.

“The accident happened 15 years ago. I almost drown in Jeongbang Waterfall. His grandmother found me unconscious and brought me to the hospital. I don’t remember anything about my childhood. The only thing I have is the pink bracelet that have my name engraved on it and it may have a connection with my past.”

JaeKyung accidentally spilled a glass of water all over the table. She was shock at what she just heard. “Is she really her sister, Geum JanDi? It can’t be true.” She thought.

JunPyo noticed JaeKyung’s strange reaction, “Is there something wrong?”

JaeKyung immediately standup and said, “Please excuse me, but I’m not feeling well right now. I’m sorry. Can we please discuss about the merger plan some other time?” JaeKyung told JunPyo and JanDi.

“Sure, no problem. We’ll see you on Monday. Take care.” JunPyo told her.

Scene 3

After lunch, JaeKyung immediately contact a private investigator to research JanDi’s background. She spent the entire night reviewing JanDi’s private record and medical record. It’s confirmed that she was her sister. From reviewing the medical record she found out that JanDi has amnesia from the accident. The news of JanDi was a shock to her since she never expected her to still be alive. All of her past childhood memories that she has been trying to suppress were coming back to her.

JaeKyung has never told anyone about her deep dark secret that she hidden for many years except for JunKi. He was the person that she trusted the most.  


The following day, JaeKyung visited JunKi’s condo.

JunKi opened the door to let her in. “Good morning, honey. What bring you here this early morning?” JunKi asked with a smile on his face.

“I’ve important news to tell you. Do you remember the story I’ve told you about my sister? I found out that she’s still alive. What am I going to do?” JaeKyung said.

“Woah! Calm down. Who’s she? Does she remember you?” JunKi asked.

“It’s JanDi. She’s my sister. She has amnesia from the accident and doesn’t remember anything about her past.” JaeKyung said.

“Shouldn’t you be happy that she’s still alive?” he asked.

“How can I be happy? If she found out who I am, she would never forgive me.”

“You’ve been living with guilty conscious for the past 15 years. If you’ve told her and your parents the truth, it’s still not too late.” He told her

“My parents can’t find out about JanDi. If they find out the truth, they will know that I was the one who tried to kill their own biological daughter. I can’t let that happen. JunKi, I’ve a proposition for you.” she said in a serious tone.


“What’s the proposition?” JunKi asked.

“I need you to seduce JanDi. Find a way to make her fall in love with you then make sure she leaves Korea as soon as possible.” She pleaded.

“How could you do this to your own sister?” He questioned her.

“I don’t have a choice. She’ll get in the way of my future. I need to get rid of her for good before she finds out the truth. Do you accept my preposition?”

“What would I get in return?” JunKi asked

“If you succeed in seducing her, I’ll give myself to you. Isn’t it what you always wanted?” She gave him seductive look.

“Yes, you’re the one who I desire the most. Remember to keep your promise.” He told her.

“You’ll need to make your move quickly since I want her to fall head over heels for you. Don’t worry about JunPyo, I will keep him from getting in your way. I know I can count on you to do this.” JaeKyung gave him a swift kiss before leaving.

After she left, JunKi was unsure of his decision. He wondered if he made the right choice by helping her out.
