《Snow Flames》Pandora’s box

While Min-Ho was eating his food and busy with it ¸ Ji-Ho was immersed in other thoughts,
Where he was thinking that how his life turned upside down during the past days ¸ starting with the dramatic appearance of Su-Jin suddenly, which was surprising, then Lia's appearance in his life and finally meeting Min-Ho
Su-Jin, who insists that Su-Bin was killed by an act rather than a hit and run accident, and how he looked miserable, not the way he remembers him and Lia,
Lia who brought him back all his memories with Su-Bin, and finally Min-Ho, a strange coincidence also appeared in his life, not a bad coincidence, although he was teaching some school subjects to Min-Ho, he wasn't very close to him, but during the time he was teaching him, it was obvious to him that Min-Ho had a completely different personality from his father and brother Dak- Ho.
Dak-Ho was always bullying Ji-Ho and always exploiting and chasing him to make him do all the things he saw in his eyes were not suitable for him, he was making him deliver food to him anywhere he was, as he was always blackmailing him that even if he did not carry out his orders, He would have his father fire Secretary Kim from his job, which made Ji Ho have to accept this only for his father's sake.
Ji Ho's relationship with his father was neither strong nor weak,
They always kept their distance all their lives from talking and interfering in each other's affairs, but unlike Dak-Ho, Min-Ho used to treat him with affection and respect ¸ He remembers these days and how he longed to finish his studies quickly, so that he could work and make money on his own away from his father and the Kang family
Ji -Ho noticed that Lia still hasn't come back, it's too late, maybe she left, maybe she wasn't comfortable because of me, okay¸ Since our first meeting until now, anyone will think I'm a psychopath or something, anyway, it seems that it is possible that we will work together in the coming days, and therefore will have to meet her daily, the situation necessitates that I solve this misunderstanding as soon as possible
He looks at Ji-Ho and says,
"Min-Ho, don't you feel that Lia's too late, is it possible that she left?"
"Of course not, her bag is here!" answered Min-Ho, advising the chair next to him.
Ji-Ho replied, "Let's call her, we're almost done eating, and we should leave."
Min-Ho replied,
"Yes, my stomach is full now, thank you Ji-Ho, I longed for this feeling so much, let me give you her phone number, so you can call her."
"Okay, please take a look at my phone and write down the phone number."
When Ji-Ho called Lia, he heard the loud tone again
Min-Ho interrupted him,
"What is this, she forgot her phone here too, it's her habit that won't change¸
Let's pay the bill and wait outside the restaurant, you will surely realize that we are outside .... "
Before Min-Ho could finish his sentence, the waitress interrupted him as she hurriedly ran into her steps
Sir... Sir, the woman who came with you...
Both quickly interrupted her and spoke anxiously, "What's wrong with her?!"
"She fainted and we called 911 and they're about to arrive," the waitress replied.
They both replied at the same time, "Where is she now?"
The waitress answered,
"It is in one of the rooms that one of the waitresses, who studies in the field of medicine, is staying with her. She has given her first aid until the emergency comes."

The two of them jogged where Lia was staying and at the same time the aid came
They carried her on the emergency stretcher and then entered the ambulance, where they both sat next to her
Min-Ho was looking at Lia with great concern, he had never seen Lia so weak, she was always the owner of a strong personality who did not want to depend on anything in existence but herself, it was very strange to see her lying like this
"Wake up, come on, Lia, don't lie down like this, open your eyes, it scares me so much."
Ji- Ho looked at him following Min-Ho's talk
"You know, Ji- Ho, I can never stand to look at someone I love lying motionless and not be able to see his eyes, I feel at this moment like we are strangers, there is no language of understanding or affection, I just feel cold and alienated ¸I feel like that person and I have never met before and we will never meet in the future."
Ji-Ho looks at him with signs of astonishment on his face, while Min-Ho continues his speech
"I know it's a different feeling than other people feel at this moment, everyone is in the same situation, the first thing that comes to their mind is a little different from me, but at this moment I look at Lia, the first thing that comes to my mind, I'm afraid - afraid that One day she and I will be strangers, only their paths intertwine one day and they do not want to pass on these roads again...."
The impact of Min-Ho's words on Ji-Ho made him think about his condition, realizing that this is what is happening to him now.
When he sees Lia looking at him coldly, he feels strange in her eyes, as if Su-Bin is looking at him and blaming him, assuring him that she does not want their ways to intertwine again,
I know it's not Su-Bin, but I can't ignore the fact that when I meet Lia it's always how I feel... and what about this little boy why does he remind me of myself so much
Min-Ho interrupted Ji Ho's thoughts, who was drowning in his own thoughts
"What is that look you're giving me, I'm not crazy." Then he continued
Um I think that's why they always say that you should not let everything inside of you to anyone, no matter what."
Ji-Ho quickly asked him
"Well, tell me, how did you meet Lia? And when did you become friends?"
He asked him, to satisfy his curiosity about Lia and before Min-Ho answered his questions
The paramedics interrupted him, saying that they had reached the hospital, where they had to get off the ambulance now, to get Lia into the emergency room.
As soon as the doctor working on Lia's condition appeared, Min-Ho asked him
"How is she now, what is the reason behind what happened to her?"
The doctor replied,
"She was allergic to shellfish, we thank God that she did not eat a large amount and that you contacted us quickly, if you were late, something serious could have happened to her."
Ji-Ho noticed the doctor's speech and spoke to himself
"What is this? Is she also allergic to shellfish as Su-Bin is? God, my brain is really going to explode."
Min-Ho continued, "So she'll be fine soon?"
The doctor replied,
"Of course, you will only stay for this day in the hospital ¸ let's check on her condition, tomorrow she will be fine."

Ji-Ho and Min-Ho both Thank the doctor
Then Min-Ho continued,
"I feel guilty now, thank God she wasn't hurt but I was the one who insisted on eating oysters ¸ Poor Lia, I wish I could turn back time and undo this idea of eating seafood."
Ji-Ho smiled because he remembered that this was exactly Ji Ho's situation, when the same happened to Su-Bin in the old days ¸ Ji Ho said the same words to Su-Jin back then."
Lia interrupted their conversation, as she was muttering the incomprehensible conversation while lying on a bed in the hospital room flanked on both sides by Ji-Ho and Min-Ho
They both approached to listen to Lia's words, and her voice was faint and unclear, and she was saying the letters unclear
.... Su... Su-Jin... Wait for me... Don't leave me alone
In front of Yoo-Jin Clinic
Yoo-Jin walks out the front door to find both Dak-Ho and Mi-Young talking to each other
Yoo-Jin: What is this? Is this Dak-Ho and this woman?
Mi-Young spotted that Yoo-Jin coming over and said to Dak-Ho,
"Here's your wife showing up."
Dak-Ho turned, he and found Yoo-Jin right in front of him, which made him confused, and then said in a shaky voice,
"Honey, how long have you been here, sorry I didn't notice your appearance?"
"It's okay dear, I'm just arriving now,
" Yoo-Jin replied, and then looked at Mi-Young, implying that Dak-Ho would introduce her.
He looked at Mi-Young and said to her, "I introduce you to my beautiful and intelligent women, Yoo-Jin, my angel wife."
Mi-Young was pissed off at Dak-Ho's introduction to his wife and spoke
"I already know, I just met her
But really, our first impression was not good."
Yoo-Jin quickly replied, "It's okay, it always happens to me, especially with VIPs."
Then Mi-Young interrupted her in an annoyed voice,
"well, Dak-Ho, so introduce me now
He said, "Here's Mi-Young – My friend since high school...
Then Mi-Young said, "Ha...then?"
Dak-Ho became tense, and signs of his tension became visible on his face. Yoo-Jin noticed this, and then answered quickly.
"Then what is it enough that you are Dak-Ho's friend, I apologize for treating you a while ago, I didn't realize that you were really his friend."
Mi-Young replied with a triumphant smile on her face
"It's okay, but you should watch your husband, he seems to be keeping a lot of secrets."
Then she looked at Dak-Ho and continued,
"You disappointed me. Did we only have five years apart, make you erase our friendship like that? You know we were closer than friends."
Dak's face turned pale, as if his blood had escaped from his vessels irreversibly, for he was now certain of two things.
The first of them is that Yoo-Jin will have doubts about him, as she was sure that he would not lie to her before.
Then he continued talking to himself
"Of course, I promised my father from that day on, that I would never go back and not remember anything about this period of my life, and my relationship with Mi-Young, something I did not want to remember either."
second of them
"Mi-Young, you've set me a target now, but me and my wife. ¸ And her provocative games would start, she always did, she likes to make everyone restless and uncomfortable, she finds pleasure in it, anyway, I can handle it but Yoo-Jin, I must warn her about it.
Dak-Ho replied,
"What's wrong, Mi-Young, you talk as if we were in contact and I denied it, you know the work of life, we both have families now and lives are busy with them, so there is no need for this blame now."
Mi-Young replied "yes, you are right, both have families now,
Don't take my words seriously, you know me well"
Dak-Ho replied angrily
"Yes, I know you well Mi-Young" and then he continues
Come on, Yoo-Jin, get in the car, we'll be late for our dinner
"Okay, dear," replied she, "but I'm not going to stay home for long today, for I have something to take care of in two hours after nine."
"No, never, don't work today as you look tired, we will not have dinner at home, we will eat in one of the fancy restaurants, you always like, because today is your birthday, and I must celebrate it with you."
Yoo-Jin replied,
"Thank you dear, you're the only one that reminds me, but I'm really busy at night, so let's have dinner and then I'll go on my way."
Mi-Young interrupted them and was looking very jealous, so she felt that what she did today, not affect or disturb their peace at all. She was upset and jealous that she had never received such attention from her husband or even from Dak-Ho in the past.
She felt that the victory she wanted today, was not achieved, she quickly interrupted them as she didn't want to sit here any longer and watch them like that
"Okay, I'll leave you here and I'll go, the driver has arrived, and I must go."
Then she looked at the two of them with a fake smile on her face,
"Have a nice evening."
After Mi-Young left
Yoo-Jin sat next to Dak Ho and spoke "We'll talk about what happened today when we get home, I want an explanation of what happened."
Dak-Ho replied in a tense tone of voice
"Okay honey, but now you have to focus on your birthday."
Yoo-Jin smiled faintly, then said:
"Okay, but let's not be too late."
After some time, they arrived in front of the door of the Star Hotel
Dak-Ho woke Yoo-Jin as she was asleep from exhaustion
"Come on, Yoo-Jin, wake up, we've arrived."
Yoo-Jin was trying to get up, looking left and right and then spotted the Star Hotel
"What is this, shall we have dinner here?"
Dak-Ho replied, surprised by Yoo-Jin's reaction,
"Yeah, this is your favorite place, did you forget?"
Yoo-Jin is afraid because her appointment with this man will be tonight in the hotel restaurant, what if he was sitting early and meeting her husband
Yoo-Jin quickly replied,
"No, but I don't want this restaurant today, let's choose another place."
"No way, come on, I know you like this place," Dak replied quickly.
"This is where we had our first dinner, so it's very much appreciated by you."
Yoo-Jin yielded to Dak-Ho's will - they sat down at one of the tables overlooking a river full of colors and fireworks.
"What do you want to eat, Yoo-Jin?"
"Anything, Dak-Ho, order my meal same as yours."
Dak-Ho noticed that Yoo-Jin had been turning left and right since entering the restaurant, as if someone was watching them.
" Yoo-Jin, are you waiting for someone?"
"Not at all," Yoo-Jin replied in a worried voice. "I'm just going back to this place."
Young's phone rings a lot
"Why don't you answer the phone, Yoo-Jin?"
"Behold, it's just work, and I can't do anything today, for you see I'm tired today and so tired, I can't help anyone today."
" Okay At least please hang up the phone so we can enjoy our dinner, Please."
She was trying to hang up the phone but found a new message from the same person
"What is it, you daring ones, coming here with your husband? Alright
I came anyway, I won't waste my reservation for the restaurant, huh..."
Yoo-Jin froze for a moment, then turned left and right again, trying to find this person who was watching them.
A man walking towards their dinner table, dressed in a black suit, and his features were of a sharp type
Yoo-Jin's heartbeat was pounding as she felt her heart was about to jump out of her rib cage
She realized that the man who's stepping in their direction right now is the same person ، what his intentions, what does he wants to do?
Why all that happened to me now!
