Last Chapters Recap:

After studying in Paris for 7 years, Park Shin Hye decided to disguise herself as a trainee in Femme Magazine, because she wanted to dodge her responsibility to be the Director and the heiress of the group. She met her supposedly secretary Jung Yong Hwa and his gank, Jung Il Woo, Kang Min Hyuk and Yoo Seung Hoo. Together they were known as the Flower Boys of Femme. Jung Yong Hwa had been friends with Jung Il Woo since high school and like to make bet about anything. Jung Il Woo challenged Yong Hwa to befriended In Ha - the new shy and nerdy trainee which was also Shin Hye - and changed her appearance. He need to take her to the anniversary party dressed to the nines. During her trainee days she met all kinds of people, the cold exterior fashion editor Min, the sly assistant who kept giving her trouble, smart but timid Lee Kwang Soo the graphic designer. The Board of Directors were eyeing Park Shi Hoo - her second cousin - as the next director, since the heiress had yet to assume the position. Yong Hwa succeed in befriending with her, found out that she was not at all timid and not at all trainee. She was actually her boss. He was appointed as the PIC for the anniversary party and got even closer with Park Shin Hye. Shi Hoo told him to stay away from her. Yong Hwa tried too but eventually failed. He kissed her after the photoshoot in Bukhansan.

​---o0o---

Shin Hye tossed and her bed, she still could not get rid of the extra hard pounding of her heart, she had been trying to sleep for more than two hours to no success. At last she gave up trying, she spread her arms and legs on her bed and stared blankly to the ceiling. She unconsciously bit her lower lip which brought her mind back to the kiss a few hours ago. Her first real kiss.

It was kind of embarrassing for her that she had never been kissed considering the fact that she would reach 30 in a few years. But she was always too busy living life, she never thought about boys, dating, let alone kisses. And of course, her so called defense mechanism did nothing to help, somehow she was able to friend-zoned every male that she ever met ever since high school. And now that she finally experienced it, she realised that she missed out a lot.

She never thought that her first kiss would be with someone who was not in a relationship with her. During high school she would daydream that a boy would ask her out, told her he liked her and kissed her on their date. Not some kisses that begun with a high tension, with lots of shouting and pouting that led to a passionate kiss under the trees. She giggled to herself, she never knew that she could kiss like that. She guessed that she was a natural after all.

"Wait? Did he like it?" she frowned, "Oh No! What if I'm a bad kisser? What if he didn't like it?" 

They did not discuss anything after the kiss and just walked home side-by-side. Yong Hwa was awfully quiet along the way to her building, she saw that he looked agonised like he was worried about something. She wanted to ask him about it but was afraid to get a cold shoulder like before so she decided to remain quite until they reached her building.

He looked at her in front of her door, clearly torn about something. He squeezed her hand and told her to go inside and treated her wound, he left immediately afterward. Shin Hye really did not have any clue of what he was thinking and what would happen next. She was kind of disappointed that he did not mention the kiss at all as if it never happened.

"So now what?! Are we dating?" She sat up and frowned, "Hooo!! I really shouldn't be thinking about dating right now." but the butterflies in her stomach had different opinion. 

She contemplated the possibility that he wanted to date her. She knew nothing about boys nor dating. How should she react to a thing called 'Boyfriend'? She never really thought about what kind of relationship she wanted to have with her boyfriend. Is it the same as a friend? Should she acted differently now that they have kissed? What does it takes to be a good girlfriend? She shook her head and messed her own hair, frustrated with all the confusion.

"Ah! Meolla!! Jung Yong Hwa, you jerk! Even after you kiss me you're still confusing me." she let out her frustration dance, kicking and punching the air on her bed.

Then it occurred to her that he was kissing Park In Ha, the shy and humble trainee, not the powerful heiress of the company he worked for. She gasped and had a horrified look on her face. She wondered if he knew about the fact, would he still like her? Would he be mad at her for lying to him? Would he still want to kiss her? Now she was worried, what if he changed his mind once he knew who she was? How could she ever take the director's position after that? That would be super awkward.

"Oh no! I'm in big trouble!" She pulled her own hair. "No! No! No! it cannot happen, he cannot know who I am. I have to stay away from him, just act like nothing happened." she said, though she did not seem to be sure herself, "Well! He did that tonight!?" she felt a need to justify herself. "And if he did mention about it, let's just say it was a mistake." she threw a fist pump to emboiden herself.

But then she pursed her lips and whimpered. It was a great kiss and she wanted more of that...

---

Yong Hwa walked out of the subway and towards the Star Media Group building. He had a strange feeling since he woke up that morning. Insincere happiness, he called it. Happiness that was covering an alarming feeling, a time bomb without an apparent timer that was waiting to explode. The kind of happiness that one didn't wish to have.

He felt so happy that he finally could be true to himself and showed the girl that he adore her, moreover she reciprocated it by returning the kiss that he gave. He still felt his heart fluttered every time he recalled the sweet kiss.

However he knew that there were trouble at the end the road, there were so many things that could go wrong in this relationship; so he still could not figure out whether he should continue the relationship or stopped it completely. After an over night of thinking, he decided that he would just go with his heart the next time he saw her. The first thing on his mind when he saw her would determine his next step. If he scared of her status and thought that he could not handle an heiress, then he will ran away. Resign was one option. But if he felt that it's impossible not to see her, he would grab hold of her and never let her go. The next step shall be decided afterwards.

So that day, he was determined... to find out where his heart lain. But as he walked towards the office, he was nervous. He was worried about himself. What if he got scared? What if her status really mattered to him? Would he be ready to leave her? In the back of his mind he prayed that he would be brave enough, unlike what we was feeling that moment; because God knows! He wanted more of that kiss....

Unfortunately, he was not able to meet her that morning. He intentionally went pass finance and was disappointed when her chair was already empty, there was no sign that she was even there. He encircled the administrative floor and went down to encircled the creative floor to no success. By the time he reached his own office, he plopped himself down and sighed. He was rather disappointed thinking that he may not be able to end the turmoil inside him that day. If only he checked the one office that was rarely occupied.

Shin Hye sat on the visitor's chair of Manager Lee, the HR manager that she hardly saw. Jung Il Woo - his assistant - sat on the other chair. The plump man was reading a file. She looked at Il Woo who was staring at his boss in and odd way, like he was mocking him. 

Manager Lee cleared his throat, Shin Hye jerked and faced him. "Kim So Eun-shi!" he said, Shin Hye was confused.

"It's Park In Ha, Sir!" Il Woo said, she practically could see him rolling his eyes.

"Gurae!?" he laughed, the loudest laugh Shin Hye had ever heard, "I need a new glasses." Shin Hye heard a soft snort from her right side. Manager Lee took another folder and read it. Another awkward silence before he finally talked again. "Woah! You have a good review from most of the department. Very good! Ups! Unless from Fashion Department." he said regretfully.

"Its not that she did't get a good review. It's just that she needs to learn more from there." Il Woo corrected. "She actually helped in implementing the new storage method of the warehouse."

Shin Hye instantly looked at Il Woo, "Help? I made it!" Shin Hye screamed mentally. He raised his eyebrows asking her to understand.

"Good! Great! Then I guess you finished your first round of trainee period. The next step is to pick one department that you are most interested in." He looked at her in an unnerving way.

"I think you mean two, Sir. She is going to be assigned to two Departments. One is her choice and one is ours." Il Woo corrected him again.

"Yes.. yes.. that's what I meant." He took a donut from a plate on his desk and ate it, the sugar stuck on his mustache. It was kind of gross. "So, which Department are you interested in?"

Shin Hye thought for awhile, somehow her mind kept going to one particular Department. "I like the Printing Department, Sir."

He laughed the annoying laugh again, "Really? That's the first. Why? You like the drama each month?" he jeered.

"Aniyo, Sir. I just think that it's the core of the printing media business, so I really would like to learn more about it." Il Woo looked at her, impressed.

"Good! They do need more people, right Assistant Manager Jung?" Il Woo nodded, "So, which other department do you recommend she should also go?"

Shin Hye prayed that Il Woo would suggest Finance, as it was also home of the nicest people in the company. "Fashion Department, Sir!" Shin Hye cursed him silently.

Manager Lee laughed like it was the most ridiculous thing, "Why?"

"They needed people, and the implementation of the new storage method had not been a complete success. It was a direct request from Editor Min." Il Woo said. Shin Hye was surprised by that last bit of information, she looked at him and saw him winked at her.

"That couldn't be true, right Assistant Manager Jung?" Shin Hye said after she and Il Woo stepped out from Manager Lee's office. 

"Which part? About you assigned to Fashion or about it being a direct request from Min Hyo Rin?" Il Woo said leading their way back to his office.

"Both..." She said weakly.

"Park In Ha-shi. I don't joke with my job, especially not with him. But yeah! Surprise! She asked you to be put under her wings. Congratulations! That's the first time in the three years that I knew her." He opened the door and let her in first. She waited until he gestured her to sit on the chair.

"Is it not possible for me to decline the assignment?" She really wanted to live peacefully this time.

Il Woo giggled, "Wae?"

"Because pink lions and glitterish elephants are not my favorite animals." she pouted.

Il Woo grinned hearing her recited his advice months ago. "Relax, you'll do fine. I think she need help with the warehouse. And you're only going to be there for another month. You'll be assigned permanently next month. So, hang in there!" he encouraged.

"Deh, Sir!" She answered finally. "Keunde, Assist. Manager Jung. Why did you say that I help making the guidelines, you KNOW that I made it." she pouted.

Il Woo smiled knowingly, "Yeah! Sorry about that. Its called the art of career climbing. You can never shine too brightly too early, otherwise you won't shine at all. Believe me, you'll get another chance." he said.

Shin Hye sighed in disapointment, "Arasso..."

Il Woo was about to say something, but his phone buzzed. He looked at the phone curiously."Wae?!" He paused to hear the person on the other side. "Shiro! I have better things to do than hanging out with a dude like you!" he grinned when the person shouted, even Shin Hye could hear the faint sound of a man cursing. Il Woo looked at her, a mischievous smile formed on his face. "Arasso! Arasso! I'll see you at 5 in the lobby. Keunho!" he turned to Shin Hye. "Shin Hye-shi, after work could you please come to me, I need you to help me with something." He rubbed his hands as he saw Shin Hye timidly nod her head.

---

Friday afternoon, Yong Hwa stood in the lobby of the building waiting for his best friend. He was heading to a catering company to talk about the food and beverage for the anniversary party. Since he had to be there as soon as possible, he asked his best friend Il Woo to give him a ride. He was feeling down because his mission that day was a complete failure. Somehow the universe did not let him to see Shin Hye so he could not decide where he wanted to go with their relationship. He thought maybe that was a sign that he should just move on.

Shin Hye ran out from the elevator, she was late 15 minutes because she had to report to Printing and Fashion department that she would be joining them again the next week. She was a bit upset with Il Woo since he did not give a clear instruction of the task. He only gave her his car keys and told her to go to the lobby.

"You'll know as soon as you got there." He said while grinning from ear-to-ear.

Yong Hwa looked at his watch and frowned, his best friend was late. He made a mental note to stop being late whenever he had appointment with Il Woo. Waiting ! He turned around and instantly widened his eye. The girl he had been searching for all day was running out from the elevator towards him. She was looking right and left but had not noticed him. At that moment, all of his worries were gone. He did not care who she was or how much her worth. He wanted to be with her, he wanted her. Mission Accomplished!

Shin Hye could not see anybody in the lobby but she then stumbled upon a man in dark blue suit looking at her. She slowed down and looked at him, her heart started to beat faster and faster, she could feel her cheek getting warmer and her palm sweat heavily. She stopped in front of him, she had trouble breathing.

"Are you waiting for Assistant Manager Jung's key?" she asked with so much effort.

Yong Hwa looked at her confused at first, but then it dawned on him what his best friend tried to do. Thanks to the oblivious Il Woo, he was actually sending her to him, "Heokshi! There's a reason why he's my best friend." he thought. He gave her his signature smile, the one that was famous among the woman in Femme. Shin Hye blinked rapidly to ease her nerve.

Yong Hwa held out his right hand to ask for the key, she doubtfully put the keys on his hand. Yong Hwa intentionally grabbed it hurriedly so he could briefly held her hand. He stopped breathing when their hands touched for a brief moments. He wanted to hold her hand so badly. He promised himself that that would happen soon.

"Do you want to come with me?" he asked her when she was about to walk away.

She turned around, "Say no Shin Hye! You promised to stay away. Stay out of trouble" She thought, "Where are you going?" has mind of its own.

"To a catering company, order food for the party." he raised his eyebrows to tempt her, he knew she liked food. "There's food! You can taste anything you want..." he pursed his smiling lips. Shin Hye could not hold her smile any longer, she was sold the moment he said the word 'catering'. They laughed together and walked to the basement to get the car.

Shin Hye ended up choosing the menu for the party, with her knowledge of European cuisine they managed to set a menu that was elegant, classy but still delicious. Finger foods, appetizer, main course all the way to dessert was chosen in line with the rennaissance theme of the venue. They went back from the catering bringing several box of test food material. They enjoyed it on their ride back home. 

Yong Hwa gazed at her in between his drive. He loved being with her, there was no way he could stay away from her. He totally forgot who she was when he was with her and all of the baggage she carried did not seem that big anymore. He bit his lips, wanted to say something but scared that it would ruin everything.

"In Ha-ya? Are you busy tomorrow?" he said it anyway...

​---o0o---

Shin Hye woke up at five in the morning, on Saturday. She only had four hours of sleep thanks to a certain man named Jung Yong Hwa who would not stop talking over the phone. She lazily got up from her bed and went to the bathroom, she groaned when she saw her reflections on the mirror. Her eye bags was so big, she thought she looked like the wizard professor from that Harry Potter movie. She only had 6 hours to fix it.

She gasped, 6 hours! 6 whole hours away from her first date. Its like THE first real date she had in her entire life, since the supposedly first date in highschool was not really a date after all. She scrambled around her room thinking what she should do first. Should she take a bath first? Chose the dress she was going to wear? She groaned in frustration for being so clueless about stuff like that. In the end she decided to go back to sleep, getting rid of the eye bag was very critical.

She woke up two hours later feeling a bit better, she immediately took a bath and looked at her wardrobe that full of jeans, t-shirt, denim shirt. Nothing that was date material. She sighed frustratedly for not having any appropriate choice, she tried several outfit and eventually got depressed.

"Aish!! Why do I even bother? Do I have to change my appearance just because he's my boyfriend now?" she thought, she was wearing a black dress that she usually wore to a funeral. "That's it! I'm just going to wear something comfortable! It's not like he's my boyfriend either... we haven't talk about it. So there's no point for me to change just because of one kiss!" She took out a long sleeve shirt and a pair of worn out jeans. She decided to leave her glasses behind, she did not have to hide anymore since her grandfather knew already where she was.

Her heart beat faster and she got a strange stomach ache as the time was nearing 11, the time he said he would pick her up. True to his words, Shin Hye heard a knock on his door exactly at 11 a.m. She glanced at the mirror for the last time before she opened the door. Yong Hwa jumped a little when he saw her.

"Are you ready?" he asked unsure.

"Yeah!!" she shrieked, she was surprised with her hoarse voice. Yong Hwa suppressed a smile, which did not go unnoticed. "What?" she asked innocently.

He shook his head, "Aniyo! Let's go. Are you hungry?" he asked. Shin Hye thought for a minute, as a matter of fact she did, she forgot to eat anything because she was too nervous all morning, she nodded her head vigorously. Yong Hwa chuckled, "Let's go! I'll take you to the best Korean Restaurant in town."

Shin Hye lit up, she went out and locked her apartment. They walked to the nearest bus stop side by side, none of them had the courage to start a conversation which was odd considering that they talked for three hours just the night before. Yong Hwa kept stealing glances at her and suppressed his smile, he kept doing it while they were seated under the bus shelter.

"What!?" Shin Hye could no longer take it. Yong Hwa raised his eyebrows, did not understand her question. "You've been laughing at me since you came. What? What's wrong with me?"

"Aniya, nothing's wrong!?" he said but his smile got wider and could no longer be held.

Shin Hye frowned and immediately pinched his arm. "Tell me! What is it? Why are you laughing at me?" she glared murderously.

Yong Hwa cried in pain, "Ah! Ah! Arasso! Let me go!" he rubbed the painful spot. "You sure not like any women I've ever met, none of them ever dress so casually on a first date." he smiled teasingly.

Shin Hye's face turned bright red, she regretted her decision to wear the worn out jeans. She hurriedly turned the heiress mode on, trying to look in charged, "So! Is this a first date? Are we dating now?" Offense was the best defense.

Yong Hwa burst out laughing, "I don't know... do you want this to be a date?" he was one hell of an opponent.

"I don't know, you tell me. You asked me out!" she turned her face against him so he would not see her blushing like an apple.

Yong Hwa stretched his neck to have a glance of her, he giggled. "Ah! Gyeopta!" he exclaimed, Shin Hye heart's skipped a beat. She pursed her lips to hold it from smiling giddily from the praise.

"Do I dress to casually? Should I go change?" she looked at him worriedly, "You didn't even tell me where we're going."

"We're going to have lunch in my favourite restaurant. Hang out a bit and meet my friends in the evening." he reported.

"What!??" she shrieked. She stood up instantly, "I'm going to go change!!" she exclaimed nervously.

He held her hands, "Too late, the bus is here... You'll be fine. Let's go!" he said. She protested when he pulled her into the bus. 

Shin Hye pouted all the way to "Sunflower" restaurant, but she immediately at ease when she caught the delicious smell of Korean dishes. Her stomach grumbled when she saw ox bone soup, doenjang jjigae, jjapchae and soondae on the guest's table. It was only a few minutes past 12 but the restaurant already packed with guests who were having their lunch.

Yong Hwa easily took her on an empty table in the corner. He asked her what she would like and immediately went to the cashier to order it. She thought it may because the restaurant was a bit busy, he did not want to wait. He came back and sat next to her, she still had not accustomed with the reduction of their intimate space. Her heart was beating like crazy by his closeness. She looked at him and wondered if he had the same feeling and was kind of disappointed when he did not show any sign of nervousness. While they wait for their food to come, he excused himself to go to the restroom.

Yong Hwa entered the restroom and immediately blew his breath, he felt like he was holding his breath since he picked her up. He exhaled-inhaled several times to made up for the lack of breathing before. He tapped both of his cheek as the were slowly becoming weary due too much of grinning. The truth was, he was in an euphoria state. It felt surreal that he finally asked her out and went on an official date with her. He felt happy and he wanted to be happy like this for a long time. He made a mental note that he need to come clean about knowing who she was. Before she found out from other people.

He took one last glance towards the mirror and did small exercise to ease his nerve, he got out of the restroom and made for their table. The food was already there and she was looking eagerly at the dishes. He sat back beside her, his current favourite spot.

"Why aren't you eating?" He asked when he saw the food was still untouched.

"Waiting for you!" She said matter-of-factly.

He stared at her and smiled in gratitude, "Jalmoke Getsumnida!" he said without taking his eyes off her. She followed suit and started to eat. His heart was so warm, he smiled giddily and took a mouthful of rice and ate it.

"Wooahh!!" She exclaimed, she widened her eyes in amusement. "This is so good!!" she was eating the Japchae.

Yong Hwa chuckled and took a soondae and put it on her plate, "Try this, it's my favourite here." he looked at her expectantly.

She put one piece into and instantly scrunched her face in delight. "Oooh!! Daebak!" she cried and took another one to eat it.

Yong Hwa burst out laughing, he could not believe that the girl who was gobbling a humble dish was actually an heiress. He unconsciously fell deeper for her. He looked around the restaurant and saw his mother came out from the kitchen to deliver a dish to one of the table. He nudged her elbow and directed her sight to his mother. "That's the cook."

Shin Hye glanced at her and smiled, "Gurae!? We need to tell her that her food is awesome."

Yong Hwa smiled mischievously, "Really? You want to do it?"

"Now?" she asked, she really wanted to eat first. Yong Hwa nodded, Shin Hye shrugged in agreement.

Yong Hwa waved his hand to attract her attention, "Ahjumma!!" he shouted. His mother looked at him and nodded, she walked towards them. "Ahjumma!" Yong Hwa said again when she was only a few steps from them. She frowned first, but when she saw Shin Hye she played along. "This is my friend, In Ha. Sit down please!"

"Annyeonghaseyo, Ahjumma!" Shin Hye slightly bowed.

Kim Mi Kyung sat down in front of her son and smiled knowingly, "Annyeonghaseyo, you order quite a lot, young man!" she said to Yong Hwa.

Yong Hwa smiled, happy that his mom was a quick thinker. "Yes! My friend is hungry." He looked at Shin Hye proudly.

"Deh! Ahjumma... everything is so good! I just want to engorged everything all at once." Shin Hye said excitedly.

"Really? It is such a humble food, should be the same with your mother's cook." she said trying to be humble, Yong Hwa went wide-eyed in horror.

Shin Hye's face turned bleak slightly, she grinned politely, "Deh! I haven't eaten my mother's cook for more than 7 years."

Kim Mi Kyung gaped, "Oh My God! My Mouth! I'm so sorry, Agasshi!" she grabbed Shin Hye's hands.

"Aniyo! Gwenchanayo. Yours are very close indeed. Best meal I ever had in years!" Shin Hye said excitedly. She was so hungry, she instinctively took a soondae to eat it. "Excuse me, I'm starving I think I'm about to faint." 

They all laughed at her, "Eat a lot! Let me know if you want more." Kim Mi Kyung said, she excused herself afterwards since she still needed to tend the kitchen.

Yong Hwa stared at her proudly, he exchanged silent smile with his mother before she went in. He knew that she approved of his choice. Shin Hye felt that someone was staring intently at her, she stopped chewing and looked at him. "Wae?" she asked innocently.

Yong Hwa smiled, "Thank you!" he said after awhile.

"Bo ga?!" she asked cluelessly

"Just... thank you!" he said, he could not bring himself to say how thankful he was that she took his invitation to hang out that day and for treating his mother very nicely although she did not know who she was.

Shin Hye scoffed against the ridiculous action, she ate another mouthful of the ox bone soup and had a smudge on her face. He just realised that their table did not have any tissue, so he went to the table at the front part of the restaurant where they usually put extra tissue. A girl suddenly called him from outside of the restaurant and hugged him from behind. Shin Hye went wide-eyed, something was very upsetting about that view. Especially when she saw that Yong Hwa did not even bother to dodge. He walked together to their table still being hugged by the girl. Shin Hye turned sour even more.

"O!? Who is this?" The girl finally noticed Shin Hye.

"This is Park In Ha." Yong Hwa said, he smiled when he sensed a change of expression in Shin Hye. He sat beside her, she scooted over to distanced herself from him. That did not happen before. He held her wrist to under the table to prevent her from scooting even further. She tried to fight it without being obvious to no success.

"Who is he oppa? Yo ja Chinggu?" She said excitedly.

"Well, she's a girl and she's my friend." he said trying to be mysterious.

"Aish!! It's so hard to talk to you." She pouted at his direction but smiled sweetly towards In Ha, "Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Jung Soo Jung. His sister." she bowed lightly.

Shin Hye froze slack-jawed, "His...? Sister...?" she stammered, Soo Jung nodded quizically. "Then... this is..?" she recalled that he once mentioned that her mother own a restaurant. "Then... that was...?" she looked at Yong Hwa in shocked. The said guy was now squinting his eyes, caught in his mischief. He braced himself for the worst. She gaped even more in anger and instinctively pinched his thigh as hard as she could. Yong Hwa screamed loudly and fidgeted between standing and sitting, he bit his fist to withstand the pain. He deserved it, that pain and more.

"How could you!!" Shin Hye whispered to him when Soo Jung went to the kitchen for awhile, "How could you take me to meet your mother without telling me!? And you let me dressed like this meeting her???" she scream-whispered, she felt like to pinch the other thigh of his.

"I didn't think that she would come out from the kitchen!" that was a total lie, "And I didn't know that you're the type that would dress in a torn jeans during a date!" he teased. Shin Hye gaped in disbelieve and got ready to pinch him again, but he instinctively stood up. 

"Come back here!!!" it's so hard not to screamed at that moment. Yong Hwa shook his head frightened. "Arasso! Arasso! I won't do anything to you. Come back here! Don't you dare leaving me alone with your sister!" she said.

Yong Hwa sat back down, he suppressed a smile. "Why don't you want to be left alone with her?" he was afraid that she did not like her sister.

"What if it get awkward? You need to make sure that every conversation goes smoothly. Uggh!! Just so you know, I'm withstanding a huge urge not to pinch your cheek right now. I didn't give your mother a proper bow!!!" she was sincerely upset to him.

Yong Hwa laugh, he pet her hair slightly, the butterfly in her stomach flew around. "Relax, there's no way things would go awkward with her. She'll do all the talking!" he said. Like brother like sister.

Just like he said it would, Soo Jung was quite a bit of a talker; a little more than him. But she was very cheerful and friendly so Shin Hye liked her instantly. She ended up having lunch with them, much to Yong Hwa's annoyance. He felt like he was the third wheel of the pack.

"So where are you going after this?" asked Soo Jung to Shin Hye. Shin Hye shrugged completely clueless.

"We're going to meet the boys." Yong Hwa said, he got up to to wash his hands.

Soo Jung looked at Shin Hye quizzically, "Where?"

"We're having dinner at 'Lighthouse'" he said before he left to the sink.

Soo Jung turned to Shin Hye, "Owh! So you'll change here?" she asked.

"No! This is all I have." Shin Hye stretched her long-sleeve shirt. "What kind of place is Lighthouse?" she asked worriedly.

"It's a restaurant not far from the building where he worked. It's a bit fancy." Soo Jung said empathically, "He didn't tell you that he was bringing you there, did he?" Shin Hye shook her head. "Please excuse him, it has been quite some time since he has a girlfriend." Soo Jung felt very sorry towards her.

"I'm not... his... girlfriend." She said timidly.

"And I see he still goes around confusing people. But the fact that he brought you here, believe me Unni, to him you're his girlfriend." Soo Jung said matter-of-factly. Shin Hye suppressed a smile, she felt the ticklish sensation inside her stomach again. "Andwe Getta!! Grab your purse!" She said while grabbing Shin Hye's hand and pulled her out from the restaurant. "Oppa, cover for me!!!" she screamed to her brother.

"Where are you going???!!" She was now on his black list.

"I'm playing dress up with my new doll!!' she screamed without looking back.

She took Shin Hye to Dongdaemun to one of the girly store. It was the kind of store that Shin Hye would never enter, but it was clear that she was frequently there since she was so friendly with the owner. Shin Hye found out that some of her design was also used by the store owner, she concluded that Soo Jung is a designer. She sat Shin Hye on one of the couch and racked the store. Sometimes she put the clothes in front of her to see how it looked on her. When it was time to pay, she looked expectantly to Shin Hye.

"I don't have any money, I'm an aspiring designer." She said matter-of-factly.

Shin Hye laughed and took out her wallet, she was intrigued with how Soo Jung would dressed her. They went straight home and locked themselves in Soo Jung's room. Her room screamed 'designer' as it was a bedroom and a craft-room. She did most of her designing and made mock up dresses there. Shin Hye could see that she was very passionate in designing. 

Soo Jung threw their shopping bag on the bed and told Shin Hye to take a shower. Once she was back, she was told to sit on the bed so Soo Jung could put make up on her. She was really excited in dressing up Shin Hye.

"Wow!! You have great skin, Unni!!" she said while applying the foundation. "So pretty! I love dressing pretty people up." She exclaimed.

"So you're a designer?" Soo Jung nodded. "Where do you sell your design? I'll buy it once I get my next paycheck." she asked.

"I haven't start my own label yet. I kept asking my brother to get me a job at Femme but he wont budged. He hated seeing me day and night." she said. Shin Hye listened to her intently. Wondering whether she could help her on that.

Soo Jung put slight make up on her, by the time she finished she looked at Shin Hye and smiled, satisfied with the result. She told her to change with the clothes they just bought and brushed her hair. Shin Hye felt like a doll.

Yong Hwa came out of his own room, already dressed up with a grey pants and navy blue sweater. He knocked on his sister door to tell him that he was ready, he went down instead to wait at the living room. He was rather tired from covering Soo Jung in helping their mom with the business. But he was happy that Shin Hye was bonding with his family.

He was still lazily watching TV, when he glanced at his watch and realised that it was late, he shouted to make Soo Jung hurry. She went down the stairs smiling ear-to-ear. She cleared to get his attention. Her mother who was on a short break joined their two children. She was curious with all the commotion.

"Ladies and Gentleman, I give you, Jung Soo Jung's version of Park In Ha!" she stretched her arms like a true showoman.

Shin Hye went down from the second floor, giggling like a teenage. As she walked down, Yong Hwa's jaw dropped little by little. He was stunned with the feminine Shin Hye that he never saw before. She was wearing an orange polkadot mini skirt, a flowery shirt and a matching orange cardigan. His heart pounded faster and harder by her beauty. He coughed a little to cover his astonishment when she was completely in the living room. She jolted when she saw Kim Mi Kyung.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Ommonim!" She gave her a deep bow. "I'm very sorry about earlier. I didn't know who you were." she said apologetically.

Kim Mi Kyung smiled and tapped her shoulder, "Gwenchana, Agashi! Aigoo!! My son really has good eyes on girls! I never thought he would bring home a girl this pretty." Shin Hye smiled shyly. "You should go, its already dark out there." she added. She looked at her son who was still frozen like a snowman. "Yong-a!" she shouted making all the girls jumped.

"Deh!?" Yong Hwa snapped back to reality. "Are you ready?" he asked her which gain roll-eyed from his sister. They went out and got a taxi to get to the restaurant.

Il Woo, Min Hyuk and Seung Ho sat on one of the booth inside "Lighthouse" restaurant. It was an italian restaurant that they frequent whenever they had something to celebrate. They got a call from Yong Hwa the night before to assemble there and was curious about the occasion. He was kind of missing in action, so they were surprised by his invitation.

"He's late, again!!" Il Woo said grouchily.

"Relax, Hyung... sometimes you sounded like his girlfriend!" Seung Ho jeered.

"Shut up! So tell us about the party that you organised, the supermodel birthday party..." Il Woo grinned

"It was awesome Hyung, and you know what the theme was?" Il Woo shook his head giddily. "Victoria's secret!"

"Oowwhh!!" Il Woo exclaimed while giving a high five to Seung Ho, "Did you come up with the theme." He teased.

Seung Ho laughed, "No, fortunately not. Else I would be famous as a ert!"

"Aren't you one?" Il Woo mocked.

"Yeah! But we don't need to announce it!" He joked.

"So what's two words to express worry or nervousness." Min Hyuk suddenly in after being distant throughout the conversation. He was busy playing a crossword puzzle with his phone.

"Oh My God!!!" Seung Ho exclaimed.

"That's three!!" Min Hyuk said, he looked up and saw Seung Ho and Il Woo had a shock expression on their face. They were both looking at something behind him. He turned around to look at their direction and instantly gaped.

Yong Hwa walked towards their booth, followed by a girl that looked so familiar to them. They all felt like they had seen her but did not recall where and when. Yong Hwa stood in front of the table and smirked, satisfied with their reaction. 

"Boys! This is In Ha! You know her, right? The new trainee?" he introduced her, the three man jaw dropped even lower.

"Hello! I'm sorry for crashing your gathering..." she squinted her eyes apologetically.

The three of them were still stunned, the first one to wake up was Il Woo, "Aniyo! You're not intruding at all, in fact I think you're the main star of today!" he said while stretching his right hand for a handshake.

Shin Hye smiled and took it, "Nice to see you Assistant Manager Jung." she bowed.

"Eeey! We're not in the office, just call me Il Woo or Oppa." he said.

"What do you mean, Oppa?!" Yong Hwa barked. "You guys are not in that kind of relationship!" he felt the need to draw a line between them.

"Noona! You look different... You look pretty!" Min Hyuk said also while shaking her hand.

"O! Team Leader Kang, I'm so sad I'm not assigned in Finance." She glanced at Il Woo who chuckled knowingly.

"Now you can call me Min Hyuk, Noona." he giggled at her remark. "You remember Seung Ho, right?" he introduced his bestfriend.

"Ah Deh! Annyeonghaseyo Seung Ho-shi. You're very famous among the trainees." Yong Hwa gestured her to sit and sat beside her afterwards.

"You look good, In Ha-shi. You should dress like this everyday to office." Il Woo said

Shin Hye blushed, "Aniya! This is Soo Jung's doing. I wouldn't be able to pull this off everyday." she said.

"Soo Jung?" Seung Ho said.

"My sister, she dressed her up because she wore a torn..." Yong Hwa winced from pain on his thigh, "because her clothes got wet when helping in the kitchen." it was a rare chance that he managed to lie.

The brothers stunned by that last information, "You went to his mother's restaurant?" Il Woo asked, he had a vacant look. Shin Hye nodded. "You met his mother and sister?" he asked again, it was Yong Hwa's turned to nodded and grinned.

The booth went on an uproar. They all demanded to know what happened between them. Were they dating? since when? and how? Yong Hwa just answered them enigmatically. He did not want to issue any statement without talking it with Shin Hye who was blushing all over the conversation. Yong Hwa barely managed to contain their curiosity, if not because of Il Woo's growling stomach they would had not stop interrogating them and ordered.

Shin Hye was happy, the meeting was fun and she got to know them a little deeper. The people who she thought were among the best in the office, they were all capable and passionate with their work and more importantly they were concern about the company, sometimes it looked like they loved the company more than she did. 

"So Min Hyuk-shi, how long have you work for Femme." She wanted to know more about them. Yong Hwa glanced at her briefly than exchanged a look with Min Hyuk.

"Three years, we actually got into Femme together and knew each other during trainee days." Min Hyuk said, "Well, except for my little brother there." He nodded to Seung Ho.

Seung Ho grinned cheekily, "Yeah! Yeah! I'm in the right path now... I did party too much, didn't I?"

"But I heard you're famous among the celebrities?" she teased, "Rumor has it, you can enter any club you want." Shin Hye said.

"Yeah! He could enter any club he wanted, sadly he could not enter his parent's house anymore." Il Woo jeered, the boys l
