^^^Flashback^^^

^^^“Rain .. It is time to rest, we will continue again,” said one of the workers at Baek Hyun who was carrying 2 buckets of mixed sand and cement in his hand.^^^

^^^“There is a nice and cheap lunch spot not far from here, do you want to come?” Bargain the worker.^^^

^^^“Sorry .. It looks like I can't come along. I just want to rest here,” reject Baek Hyun with a smile.^^^

^^^“But instead you have to have lunch too.”^^^

^^^“Iya, but .. but I was carrying rice,” Baek Hyun lied.^^^

^^^“Oh, so .. okay. See you later.”^^^

Baek Hyun breathed a sigh of relief as he sat leaning against the wall of the church building.  He had enough money to buy lunch. But the money is too valuable to spend. As long as he is still able to withstand hunger even if he only drinks water, he will not spend the money given by Hana. It was also his first day of work, and his wages would only be received later in the afternoon. That's why he must keep the possibility if the wages he does not receive at all. If it is not full of calculations with financial budgets. Maybe Hana will also starve because of it. Lucky in the hands of Hana still left little money for lunch and dinner today. So he did not have to worry about the current state of the girl.^^^

Remembering Hana who was waiting for her in the old building where they lived while making Baek Hyun smile.  So far the woman still faithfully followed him without complaining in the slightest about their circumstances. Instead, the woman seemed to always be grateful and happy.^^^

Baek Hyun took the bottle of drink beside him and gulped down the contents again. Just remembering the girl makes the hunger so not so pronounced.^^^

^^^“Rain .. Your wife came looking for you," The worker turned to tell her.^^^

^^^“Uhuuuk!!” Baek Hyun was shocked.^^^

^^^After the man was Hana standing with a plastic package in her hand. He smiled happily despite the looks of rage.^^^

^^^“Akh .. if only my wife would come here,” lamented as she passed from there.^^^

^^^*^^^

Baek Hyun looked at Hana in disbelief. But the girl was actually there and smiling happily as usual.^^^

^^^“Why are you here? Shouldn't you just stay home instead of wandering around like this!” Omel Baek Hyun's.^^^

^^^Hana doesn't care. With his excitement the girl ran around a little while occasionally jumping over the scattered building materials. He looks funny and adorable. The feeling of Baek Hyun who was angry and worried vanished in an instant. He walked over to Hana.^^^

^^^“Give it first,” he said as he crouched his hand down as the place where Baek Hyun stood was nearly half a meter high from where Hana was.^^^

^^^Hana handed over the plastic package earlier. When Baek Hyun reached out his hand again to greet Hana. The girl had already gone up to her place.^^^

^^^“Why are you here? Isn't this place so far away? The weather outside is also hot and you're boisterous like this.”^^^

^^^“It was nothing. I walked while thinking of you so it wasn't exhausting at all. After all waiting all day is very boring.” Hana let out a flutter calmed the man's heart while preparing a lunch for Baek Hyun. Baek Hyun only smiled, but his face immediately changed staring at the special dish that looked special as well.^^^

^^^“Where do I get this food from?”^^^

^^^“I took a wage at the stall where we bought rice yesterday.”^^^

^^^“Hana ..” Baek Hyun looked at the girl with a clear face.^^^

^^^“I know,” respond Hana fast. “But I'm really bored if I don't do anything. It's not a hard job at all. I just help serve dishes, serve customers and wash cutlery. Anyway I feel sorry for him. He seemed overwhelmed at serving his customers. At first, I only hoped to get food. But he also gave me money. Now eat .. earlier there are some side dishes left, so the owner of the stall gave it to me,” he said happily.^^^

^^^“I wash my hands first.”^^^

^^^“Can I help you?” Tanya Hana teases.^^^

Baek Hyun smiled. Either because they rarely met Hana first he felt Hana's attitude became different since they were always together. The woman is teasing him often now.^^^

^^^“Come here .. You also have to wash your hands. You must accompany me to eat,” said Baek Hyun as he pulled Hana from her place.^^^

^^^“But I ate earlier. If eat constantly my body will be fat.”^^^

^^^“Let's just ..” replied Baek Hyun did not care.^^^

"Why do you want to take that little company? Can't you focus on helping your sister!?"

"Because I like it. I can help you take care of that company."

"The company can still be handled by our subordinates. You don't have to take over the leadership! or is that just your excuse to get your dream back?"

"When did you ever laugh so happily? Tell me, when did you ever feel happy?" 

"Does happiness have to be shown by laughing?"

"Laughter is a blast of happiness.”

"Is that important? You can enjoy life without any flaws that's what you should be after. Not a meaningless laugh. It's just the hypocrites' behavior."

Lay sighed. It is not easy to melt the heart of the ambitious old man.

"Dad ..it's time for me to let go of all this work and enjoy life. Enjoy what you have achieved all this time. Let me and my brother work for you.

"I gave up that trust on you and your brother. It's just that you're still too vulnerable to be attacked by our enemies. Your heart is weak too. You think mercy will make the world pity you?"

Lay down. His father is famous for being assertive, which is why he feels like he is hated and has many enemies. Where his father went was always escorted. Without him knowing the people who should be the enemy, often in the hands of his first son secretly so that the situation is fine. His first son was much smarter than his own father had expected.

"Dad ...every time try to have fun ....

Once in a while enjoy life, enjoy what you've been fighting for all this time.

Once in a while, give yourself a chance to be happy."

Without waiting for his father's response, Lay bowed respectfully, then passed leaving his own father behind.

“Sisa our money is still quite a lot beyond the count of buying cement and giving residents wages that help even include the cost of eating for several days,” said Hana while smiling cheerfully.

“It looks like wages won't count.”

“Why?”

“I talked about our plan with some fishermen yesterday. They said they were ready to help. They will receive no wages, no matter what their work. If we force, they could be offended.”

“Actually I also think like that. During our stay here, I never heard of them hiring someone else to do something. Everything is done with gotong royong.

So what do you think? Shouldn't we mention the wage issue first? Despite living here for more than a year, I am still not used to this kind of thing. Especially when it comes to big jobs like fixing our house.”

“I think it's best. Can we not save the rest to welcome the birth of our child later?”

“Can I get pregnant?”

“Eum ... Baek Hyun nodded with a smile. "I also want to have children soon. According to those who have been used to do gotong royong, at least the repair takes one week, because there is not much to be repaired. Basically, this building is also very strong. After all some materials are ready, just installed,” explained Baek Hyun with a smile.

Hana and Baek Hyun are indeed very respected, respected, and loved by the villagers. Regardless of their role as a teacher be it a martial master as well as a teacher who happily shared the knowledge they had. Hana and Baek Hyun also love petrifying and are always friendly. That is why almost the entire population, from the elderly to children, both men and women flocked to help Baek Hyun and Hana improve their homes. Baek Hyun, and a few experienced people, played a kind of foreman who arranged what to do. It just so happened that Baek Hyun had worked as a construction worker, so it was not difficult for him to repair and build his own house with the residents.

Hana and several other women served as cooks preparing lunch dishes. What Hana really did not expect was that she did not have to spend money to buy food. Residents there are happy to bring garden produce to be cooked and eaten together after work. Even when the repair of the house was completed, Baek Hyun Hana along with the entire population of the Hamlet held a small party in the yard of the house that now stands strong and magnificent.

For the first time in over a year, Baek Hyun was asked to perform something in front of the villagers. The man wanted to display his prowess in martial arts from, but the residents rejected him on the grounds that they were already used to seeing it. In the end, the man chose to sing. Accompanied by the music. Baek Hyun sang in front of the villagers. Regardless of their knowledge of Baek Hyun's skill in singing, all that is seen is the happy face of the residents who feel entertained by Baek Hyun's singing that is brought full of appreciation.
