I'm The Boss's Secretary?!

Seeing how Jung Hwa was disheartened, Seoyeon felt a prick in her heart, "No, you never, I was just curious..." She didn't know what to say or tell. The familial relationship and the dynamics between Jung Hwa, his mother, father, and older brother was still a mystery to Seoyeon's which she was curious of.

"Curious?" Jung Hwa walked over toward her, pulling her collar that was unbuttoned to push the button, "What had got you curious and for what reason? I believe there is no reason for you to be questioning this to me."

Seoyeon wondered if Jung Hwa was offended, "There was something that I thought I just want to ask you." As she thought Valerie must have said nonsense and she was swept up by the woman's question and now felt bad for Jung Hwa.

"So, it was a causal question," remarked Jung Hwa and she saw the way he look at her without a smile was as if observing her expression that fell short. "Do you believe me, Seoyeon?"

The question he asked was different than his usual question. There was a tone of wanting confirmation and at the same time the pressuring tone. Seoyeon gave him a thoughtful stare, "I do. If I don't I won't be here with you in your house."

There were too many reasons for Seoyeon to believe Jung Hwa then not. She didn't know why Valerie's claims that Jung Hwa had killed his own mother and brother kept spinning around her head. But then she realized that it was because he had occupied a certain room in her heart that it mattered.

She then heard him ask with his lips curling, "Even if I lie?"

"Did you lied to me?" Seoyeon asked him back. His expression was unreadable while she was open for him to hear and see. She can't hide anything but he could and somewhere she felt it was unfair. 

"A hypothetical question, my sweet darling," Jung Hwa raised his hand and touched her cheeks, sliding in to her chin, "Even if I lie would you still believe in me?"

Seoyeon gave some thought while staring at him to then reply, "I will only if you have reasons."

Jung Hwa pulled his hand, walking a step backward to nod, "I will be sure to remember that. We should go now."

They left the house soon after. The ride in the car was not for too long as Seoyeon expected. Nevertheless it was far from the house and by the time they arrive it was already pitch black outside.

Seoyeon stepped out from the car while Jung Hwa stood beside her. She saw the large grilled gates that was rusted and saw how the graveyard was wide and vast, the gates looked very tall that climbing would not be an easy feat to do.

"How will we enter?" asked Seoyeon when she saw the bolt and chain on the gate of the graveyard. "You know you shouldn't destroy this lock, right?"

Jung Hwa turned his eyes at her, raising only one brows, "Why not?"

"You are not a cemetery bulgar," she reasoned, thinking he would find another way but when she took one step back to look around the gates and find any possible way to enter like a hole in the gates, Jung Hwa pushed open the door. 

Jung Hwa could feel Seoyeon's state burning on the side of his face when she noticed the chain and bolt that had been broken laying beside his shoes. There was evident of how the chain had been ripped out and the bolt crushed. "Which is why I have to break the lock even more, don't you agree?"

There were words Seoyeon want to say to stop him but remembering all attempts she used to stop him from crushing door, it was futile and she decide not to.

"Do you like destroying doors?" asked Seoyeon while staring at the the graveyard. From outside it was dark and she couldn't see well the graveyards and the condition after the gates. But now that she had taken a step in, the place was more eerie than she thought it would be. 

She could not see anything beyond the gates and the tree's rustles sounded like whisper that adds more to the gloominess. The place was deserted and forlorn, with most sound coming was their own footsteps. 

Jung Hwa hummed on her question, saying, "If I have to say, doors is the entrance of a house or building. Doesn't it feel like you are alarming the people inside the building or house, telling them a disaster is about to come by destroying their doors?"

"That's a weird hobby," she commented to keep her mind of at how scary the place was. Seoyeon has never come to a graveyard late at night and she thought it was foolish to ever enter a graveyard at this time. Who knows that she would be doing it now.

"It's a realistic hobby, I should say," Jung Hwa was fairly unbothered by the graveyard or the darkness. "My dear cat are you afraid of seeing ghost?"

"I wouldn't be able to see one anyway," I hope, added Seoyeon in her mind while following him. She the saw how Jung Hwa was walking very slowly as if to match his footsteps with her. 

"You know cats have a great sight and often say a sixth sense to see ghosts," Jung Hwa began to explian as his eyes looked around the place. He found the graveyards was no different than other graves but there was something about the grave he couldn't tell about that felt intangible but out of place. 

"I am not a cat and I am not afraid," Seoyeon corrected him when she felt something brushing her leg, she quickly scooted over to Jung Hwa's side. Her cheeks blushed in embarrassment but she kept her lips pursed tight knowing well how Jung Hwa chuckled at her. "Where is the graveyard?"

To think that she would be meeting her birth parents but in the graveyard, a mixed emotion came over her heart. She had little to no memory about her parents and it could be because of how she lost parts of her memories in the past. She was curious to know how they look and if they could talk... but people who had rest on the coffin would not be able to talk.

Seoyeon had a some moments in the past when she was still living in the orphanage, wondering how was her parents look like and even wondered where they go. It was late when the caretaker told her that they died but in her childlike mind, she didn't know what death was.

After she was adopted, slowly she accept her birth parent's death as a fact and had never thought to search for their graves as to do so she would have to come back to the orphanage. 

"Over there," Jung Hwa tipped his chin to the left side and he spread out his hand for her to see, "Want to hold hands? It's a good time for us to be together and I would not like to miss the chance. The path before us would be filled with small stones and you would not want a spider to climb on you."

Seoyeon without another thought after hearing spider took his hand and her heart raised when she noticed how quick she had taken his hand as if he was the only person she could relay to which was true but embarrassing when told now. 

"It's the spider," murmured Seoyeon and Jung Hwa who watched how her expression was too shy and timid, curled his lips. 

"Yes, I should be grateful to the spider later." Jung Hwa and Seoyeon then left the place when they finally arrived at the two that was place close to each other.

Seoyeon walked toward the side of the grave slowly and she bent her knees to raise her hand and touch the headstone with her hand slowly. She didn't know what to feel. Her first meeting with her birth parents was in the grave and she can't say she had the best experience but visiting the grave had her felt somewhat glad she had the chance to meet them.

She bent her knees to kneel in front of the graves that belong to her parents and raising her hand, she dusted the mud that had stayed on the headstone. The name written over the graveyard that was hidden by the clouds, was easier to see after.

'In memory of Yang Jiae and Yang Sunghoon' 

It was her mother and father's name and also her real surname. Jung Hwa watched Seoyeon silently staring at the graves and he met her do so without wanting to disturb her as she was getting know to her parents, finding about herself that she didn't know and her family she never remembered.. The feeling of seeing graves and felt nostalgic wasn't something he could understand but he knows it was different for Seoyeon.
