Seunghyun's hands were shaking the entire ride to the fundraiser, so he kept them tightly wound in his pockets, one of them gripping a piece of paper, hoping his manager wouldn't notice as she drove him. She was busy talking about how he should have invited Bora to the event, since many people would be watching him, but Seunghyun hadn't been able to bring himself to do that. Not tonight-- this had to do with something much, much different than his dating career.
About a year ago, his mother had given him a note, a letter, transcribed by a woman she had never met before but knew was telling the truth. His mother had told him the contents of the letter before he'd even read it; the real reason why she and his father had divorced when Seunghyun was only two years old. She knew he had always blamed himself for their separation, but now it was time to come clean, time to set the record straight. He was old enough now to know that his father was a cheating, lying bastard.
Seunghyun had always had the suspicion that the man wasn't what he was portrayed to be in the papers, a CEO head-figure, glamorous and shining in the business world. A man like that always had secrets, he reminded himself as he read the letter written by the other woman, addressing his mother and informing her of the affair. And consequential pregnancy.
Somewhere out there, Seunghyun had a sister. It was something that had burned on his mind for a whole year and after doing some research, he'd found out to his dismay; they had gone to the same school, Cheongnam High, albeit in completely different years. They wouldn't have met, would they? He couldn't remember her. How could he not remember his own sister? But seeing her now and seeing her history, he had no idea how to get in contact with her or how to bring them together at last.
Until tonight. The fundraiser was a non-negotiable event for Cheongnam Alumni, everyone had to attend. She would be there. Right?
He had to go alone this time, and unlike any of the other parties he'd attended lately, he needed to keep his wits about him and stay sober. Even if Seungri was there, he needed to be focused tonight to find her. He couldn't ask Bora to accompany him just only to ignore her the entire time. He didn't much like her, but he wasn't cruel. No, tonight needed to be about something else.
