Seems like she's waiting

Third Way of Love

Yonghye was discharged, Yongsun made sure she typed out her resignation letter, emailed to the HR department’s email in front of her. After emailing, she checked her emails, it had only been a few days and she already had over 30 unread emails. Yonghye slightly scrolled through her emails, lazily switched off her laptop, went to her bed and lied on it. Yongsun was assuming it was because it doesn’t have that one particular email she was waiting for.

Yongsun is only older than Yonghye by three years old, however both of their character have always been two different people. She is sensitive and passionate, yet Yongsun is always tough and firm. When Yongsun's ex-boyfriend left her, he once said this to her: Yongsun-ah, if during these period of time I’ve ever seen you drop your tears for me even once, perhaps I would stay.

At that time, Yongsun obstinately replied him. “Even a tear isn’t worth it for you.” In actual reality, when their relationship failed, Yongsun did cry, however she would never let him know that.

As for Yonghye, since young she would write different love letters and poem for different guys, be it short or long, Yongsun was used to it. However, this time, she was reacting way too excessive – the Moon Byulyi she recalled, she could only remember her indifferent tone and expression. Why did Yonghye fell in love with such a person that is so unattainable?

 

 

For the next two days, Yongsun was constantly busy with filming. The production was low on budget, and thus they could only afford to have her for two days. They squeezed all her scenes within two days, and thus Yongsun was almost without sleep for 48 hours. After the grueling 48 hours, she returned to the company to attend a last minute added script reading for another drama. Even though Yongsun wasn’t that famous yet as an actress, she was still quite sought after for supporting roles. Before the meeting, she had a short half an hour break, Yongsun went to the pantry and got herself a cup of coffee. She barely even warmed her  on the seat before her phone rang. Yonghye was stammering on the other line. “Unnie, my resignation isn’t approved by the HR, they said they’ll give me a month’s break, they told me to return to work next month”

“Did you do anything behind me?”

“No, I don’t want to go back too.”

“That’s absurd, there’s no reason that they wouldn’t approve, just stop going to work then.”

“But, the HR mentioned that if I were to terminate the contract early, I’ll have to compensate them 3 million dollars.”

“WHAT? What is this ridiculous term?”

“When I entered the finance department last year, I think I did sign a document before, the exact content however, I forgot…”

“You’re just a small secretary, why would you be that important, I’ll think of something, just stay at home and not go anywhere.” Yongsun hung up on the phone.

Eric strolled passed the pantry whistling. “Mr Nam, please come over for a moment. Without stopping his whistling, he strided backwards into the pantry, settled his on the table, looked into Yongsun deeply with his eyes, humming. “You're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off you…”

“Why don’t you go and be a singer instead of a manager?” She flicked his forehead.

“What’s up, asking me out for a date?”

“Definitely not. The last time when I asked you to help me enquire about that matter, why didn’t you get back to me?”

Eric jumped off the table, sat on the chair across Yongsun, acting mysteriously. “Actually, I enquired about it long ago, just that I didn’t want to tell you.”

“Why?”

“That kind of woman, shouldn’t even exist in this world, she’s not even human”

“And why is that so?” Yongsun's heart was in a shock. “ert, gangster, douchebag” any related forms of terms came up in her mind.   “Look at your facial expression, you remind me of my female junior in that HR department, whenever she mention about that Moon Byulyi she looked like a wolf deprived of food for 800 years.”

“Isn’t she having a crush on you?”

Eric shrugged, “She is, but Moon Byulyi is just such a crush in their company, everyone regardless of gender talks about her on a daily basis, envious of her mostly I would say”

Yongsun rolled her eyes, “Well, are you telling me? If you don’t intend to say anything please excuse me, I have a script reading soon.”

“Alright alright, be patient, satisfying your needs is my purpose in life.” He straightened himself. “Moon Byulyi, 26 years old, not that short, legend has it that she is 163.4 cm, physical appearance wise, she’s being known to be as handsome instead of pretty. Currently she’s the Moon Group finance department’s manager, she’s also the oldest daughter of the Moon Group’s CEO. It seems like she was sent overseas since young and only came back recently to help out in their family business. It’s been said that she’s very low profile and humble, competent and intelligent, bachelorette, currently vying for the crown princess position with her sister, let’s see who can win their father’s heart and become the queen of the Moon Group! It’s such a huge empire! “

After Eric completed his speech like an MC trying to hype up the crowd, he stared at Yongsun intensively trying to notice her expression change, Yongsun looked at him calmly. “That’s all?”

“That’s all? Isn’t that enough?” Eric looked traumatized.

Yongsun chuckled, “I’m not looking for a partner, I’m only asking how is this person like, is she a good person?”

“Oh, I forgot to ask about that… Coming from such a background however, usually half of them are sickos.” Eric nodded his head, deeply in thoughts.

“Yonghye wants to resign from the company, the HR department rejected her resignation, they claimed that if she wants to resign she’ll have to compensate them 3 million dollars, can you ask your junior about this?”

“That’s ridiculous! I’ll call her this moment!”

Eric took out his phone and called his junior immediately. Using his usual greasy and cheesy tone, they spoke for what seems like half a day to Yongsun, finally Eric finished his call. “It was Moon Byulyi that gave the order for them to not approve the resignation, they can’t do anything about it. What happened? Moon Byulyi is interested in Yonghye?”

Yongsun didn’t answer Eric, she was deep in thoughts. Seems like if she doesn't personally give Byulyi some trouble, she would never let Yonghye off would she.

“Hello? Earth to Kim Yongsun! You’re almost late for your script read?”

“, bye oppa. Thanks!”

When Yongsun got home at night, she secretly got Moon Byulyi’s number from Yonghye's phone while she was bathing. Yongsun hid in the balcony and made the phone call to her.

After two rings, a female voice answered. “Hi?”

“Miss Moon, hi!” Yongsun politely answered.

“Who is this?”

“I’m Yonghye’s sister, Yongsun, I have an urgent matter to discuss with you face to face, may I know if you would be available these few days?”

After a moment of silence, she replied. “Hold on, I’m not Miss Moon, she’s not around currently, let me get her.”

“” Yongsun cursed in her mind silently.

After awhile, a deep and clear soothing female voice came through from the other side of the line. “Hi, this is Moon Byulyi speaking. “

“Miss Moon, I’m Yonghye’s sister, Yongsun, with regards to some matters with my sister I would like to meet you directly to discuss about it” Yongsun cut to the chase.

“Sorry, I’m currently overseas”

“When will you be back?”

“…… Next Wednesday 4pm, I’ll be in the office.” That was fast.  

“Sure, I’ll see you next Wednesday.”

“Sure, see you.” Byulyi politely replied.

Yongsun hung up the phone, thinking that after such a long chase, it turns out that this number isn’t even Moon Byulyi’s personal phone number. Looks like the dozens of texts messages that Yonghye sent out has been viewed by someone else instead, that’s miserable. Walking back to the living room, she glanced that Yonghye is in the washroom looking at herself in the mirror, Yongsun felt a moment of grieve in her heart, doesn’t she know about this? This foolish sister of hers, what exactly is she doing? A love relationship that isn’t of a value to someone, it’s simply just a shameless joke.

Yongsun walked towards Yonghye, tapping slightly on her shoulder, gently saying to her. “Sleep early”

Yonghye turned around looking at her in a weird expression, as though she got a shock from Yongsun's concern.

 

 

The scheduled appointment on Wednesday at 4pm, at 3.50pm Yongsun had already arrived at the lobby of the Moon Group, as a company that has assets worth more than billions of dollars, their office is surprisingly simple looking, Moon Group’s low profile image though, had been well known since quite long ago in the industry.

Even though they’re low profile, their security measures are instead distinctly strict. Yongsun had already passed through the metal detector, as well as 3 securities and the receptionist’s questioning, registration, taking dow

Chapter 37: I'm a new reader it's such a pity that I only found it this late but I certainly do not regret it. This is so well written and I loved every single bit of it. Kinda slow burn but it was worth it. I hope they stop hurting soon, coz I really felt their hurt while reading it. I cried nonstop on some chapters. Can't wait for when Byul finds out that the woman she mistaken as an was no other than the love of her life. Please update soon. My heart can't wait any longer. 🙏
