falling inlove with a stranger

Perfect Stranger

"Are you listening to me?" Chae Won started to get annoyed. Lee Shin arrived at her house and hour ago and she had been explaining the details about the glitch on the current webtoon that they have to redo. It looked like Lee Shin wasn't paying attention. "Ya! Shin Mei Lee!!!" she screamed that made Lee Shin jumped off her chair.

"Miss song, what's wrong with you today? Woke up at the wrong side of the bed?" Lee Shin joked.

Chae won raised brows. "Shin Mei Lee? Are you okay?"

Lee Shin smiled. "Hmmm more than okay. Chae won-ah, I'm meeting Jeong Jun Seong later this afternoon."

Chae Won's brows met. "Ha! That explains. So you finally opened up your heart?"

"Huh?" Lee shin looked at her bestfriend.

"Miss Lee or Shin whatever. I've been talking here for the past 10 minutes and you're mind was off somewhere else. It's Jeong Jun Seong huh. Did you fell  for the ' love at first sight?'"

"You can say that." Lee Shin didn't bother to deny.

"Oh God! we're soo doomed!" Chae Won hit her forehead with her palm. "Now I'm curious. Is he in the SNS world?"

"Uhm, I don't know. I haven't asked. I'll probably be shy to ask him."

"Ya! Don't forget, you're under my name and he thinks you're a writer." Chae Won remind her. Ok, Miss Lee, let's finish this and you can go to your meeting. I am flying to Busan tonight for a meeting."

The two worked for the next hour with few conversation in between.

"Uhhhh!" Chae Won stretched her both arms upward. "Done yet?"

"Chae Won-ah, didn't we talk about this part before? Why did it end up that the girl just vanish?"

"Huh?" Chae Won's face turned sour-ish. "You're asking me that when you're the one who suggested that. Ya.. Uhm... sorry. Actually we talked about that just before you got hospitalized. I guess you forgot about it."

"Ohhh... I guess. So, what happens to the girl?" Lee Shin was curious. Chae Won hasn't handed her yet the storyline when the girl appeared again.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow. Looks like you're so much excited for this date. Wait... Is this a date? Ya! Lee Shin."

"Hmmm not really. It's a continuation of our interrupted meeting last time."

"Oh my God! Our princess is dating," Chae Won hugged Lee Shin.

"We're not dating. We're meeting up." Lee Shin corrected.

"whatever. I like this idea of you dating someone link in your past." Chae won teased. "But hey, you have to tell him the real you."

"Not now. Maybe next time. I don't want to make sure if I really like this guy."

"If you really like him?" Chae Won raised both brows. "Hello Miss Shin, I've known you for five years. I know you fell inlove with this guy."

"Too early to say." Lee Shin cleaned up her table and prepared to leave.

"Make sure to take photo this time." Chae Won reminded.

"If I'll get the chance."

"Now go." Chae won pushed her out to the door.

"Have a good time in Busan, Miss Song." Lee Shin waved and left.

 

Lee Shin POV

 

I'm excited. I can't take Jeong Jun Seong off my mind. Maybe we can call it fate and destiny. How in the world he had my designs? Okay say he picked them somewhere but this is fate. Meeting after decades and what linked us was my piece of art.

We decided to meet somewhere else. Glass cafe crew might recognize him. It's a lunch meeting. I don't want to call it a date because it's not a date. we're just meeting to to talk about my design. He was already in the restaurant when I stepped in. It's a regular restaurant in downtown. He waved when he saw me. I swear I my ears were fluttering when I saw him smiled and waved. Oh my gosh1 this is the first time I became excited over a man since I came back to Korea. Wait. Lee Jong Hyun. Nah. It's just a passing feeling. I was under stress and everything.This is new. he's refreshing and he looks really cool andsweet.

"Hi," I greeted and pulled  my chair. He got up to help me pull my chair but I motioned him not to.

"How are you?" he asked.

"Been better. A little bit busy recently and you?"

"Been busy. Shall we order first?"

Oh my God! He's sooo perfect. I smiled and opened the menu book. I can't concentrate on the menu. My mind was flying around him.

"You ready?" his voice brought me back from my trance.

"huh?" I looked at him. "Oh... not quite." I skimmed through the menu once again and settled on beef and greens.

"So you  stayed in Songdo for two years?" he asked.

"hmmm. I have to move from school to school due to my parents work." I lied. Now I am guilty for lying but what can I do? "You lived in Songdo all your life?"

He nodded. "Until I started college. Then I started working here in Seoul. How about you? How many webtoons have you wrote so far?"

"The most popular for now was the Orange marmalade. We wrote quite few and are running but hmm," I shoulder shrug. I don't want to divulge all the manga Chae Won wrote for the reason that We use different pen names and we were trying to correct that now for copyright issues. "It was adapted to drama recently."

He just nodded. "The story is quite entertaining. Did you watch the adaptation? The saeguk part was entertaining."

"That wasn't part of my webtoon. I..." Well, the producer asked if they can add that part." I answered. "Hmmm so what made you look for the designer when that draft was like a decade year old.?"

He froze. "Uh... actually, we had 5 of those. I have 3 and 2 of my friends have one each. I didn't know they still kept those.

Chapter 61: I hope there’s an epilogue to this beautiful story. That she will bring Jong Hyun to their baby’s resting place and tell him about the baby. And i wanted to see his reaction when he knows that that’s his baby and not GD as he assumed.
