The next day evening after her filming, Yongsun returned to the company to celebrate with the staffs and CEO Kim as their company won the award for outstanding ventures. It was an achievement considering how small and new their company was. Yongsun realized that Eric, perhaps due to his severe intensive emotions after that incident with his car, he broadcasted to the whole company of what happened, how and when Moon Byulyi stopped to help settle the issue easily, and of course Moon Byulyi’s interaction with Yongsun. When Yongsun stepped into the staffs’ corner, all the staffs, male and female included, looked at Yongsun with envy, they quickly surrounded her in no time, trapping her in the middle.

“Yongsun, spit it, is Moon Byulyi really pretty?” a male staff asked. “Is she really cool and cold?” another female staff asked. “How did you get to know her?” “Introduce us to her!” … … The questions came shooting from all directions, Yongsun didn’t know when, where, and how to answer them.

“Are you all crazy? Did you all know her beforehand?” Yongsun was curious.

“Of course, she’s the most famous youngest bachelorette in the city, word’s that she’s pretty yet handsome, background’s worth of billions. I had a reporter friend that interviewed her before, she almost fainted on the spot after the interview!” One of the female staff from the marketing team claimed.

“That’s right. My classmate is in their PR department, she said that the whole company’s female staffs are all over their heads for Moon Byulyi, there’s even people who committed suicide over her!” Another female staff from the PR team added in.

Committed suicide! – Yongsun’s heart skipped a beat, could it be that Yonghye’s accident got out? Yongsun was panicking, she quickly asked: “Who? Who committed suicide over Moon Byulyi? Is that person dead?”

“I don’t think so, that girl tried to jump into the Han River, she was standing by the edge of the bridge, demanding for Moon Byulyi’s appearance, 119 was activated, the girl’s family, friends, relatives whoever anyone related to her all appeared to try to talk her out of it, they failed of course. That girl only wanted to see Moon Byulyi.” The female staff from the PR team continued.

“What happened later? Did Moon Byulyi turn up?” Eric, from nowhere asked.

“Nope, she’s kinda cold blooded. She just simply refused to turn up, she even told someone to inform that girl it’s meaningless doing these, and told her to give up. In the end, the girl really jumped, they fished her out and sent her to the hospital immediately, she didn’t die.”

“Wow, she’s really cold blooded, does it kill her to at least go and see the girl?”

“Exactly, afterall the girl did like her, this is a life we’re talking about here, if she’s really dead I bet Moon Byulyi would be guilty.”

Upon hearing this, Yongsun was reminded of the confrontations she had towards Byulyi. It was almost exactly the same words what she said to Byulyi with regards to Yonghye. At the same time, she thought that no wonder Byulyi wasn’t even affected when Yonghye’s matter came about, she was already almost immune to it since it wasn’t the first time.

Yongsun snapped out of her thoughts when she felt the attention returned to her, “So Yongsun, describe the Moon Byulyi you know to us!”

“Uh… she is pretty… but not to the extend of dead gorgeous… just like that… her features are decent.”

The crowd stared at Yongsun, obviously unsatisfied with her answer.

“Hmmm, well. I might have to agree that she is very cool for a female, maybe slightly cooler than me. I don’t always acknowledge someone whom is cooler than me.” Eric crossed his hands, tilting his head.

“That’s because she saved your .” Yongsun bluntly stated.

The crowd laughed out loud, Eric was embarrassed. “Yongsun, how did you get to know Moon Byulyi? Why not you introduce us to her too?” “That’s right, is she attached? Do I stand a chance?” Questions after questions poured in once again. Yongsun started to gently push away the staffs while walking towards her room, the staffs followed her behind closely like puppies.

Once she reached her room, Yongsun turned around and used a cold and monotone, “One, me and Moon Byulyi are just normal hi-bye friends, we didn’t even meet each other for more than 5 times, she might not even treat me as a friend. Two, Moon Byulyi is already attached, with a boyfriend whom is in the US. I’ve also heard there’s marriage plans, so all of you, females or males can give up. Lastly, stop day dreaming. Consider something more realistic, maybe our female staffs here can consider our Eric oppa here. And if I’m not forgetting, we have a celebration later for CEO Kim?”

Groans and complaints filled the air when Yongsun was done with her words. They quickly left the area to prepare for the celebration, Eric sulked with his face, still standing by door of Yongsun’s room. He followed into Yongsun’s room and closed the door behind him.

With a mysterious look on his face, he looked at Yongsun as she was settling down her stuffs.

“Guess who I met last night?”

“Yoo Jae Suk?”

“Can you be more serious?”

“Other than you meeting Yoo Jae Suk, I wouldn’t be surprised who else you might have meet.”

Seeing that Yongsun wasn’t interested in entertaining him, Eric himself confessed. “I met Hyunsik at the bar last night!”

Yongsun wasn’t in the least of interested, “so?”

“He pulled me to have supper last night, we talked for quite some time, drank a lot too.”

“Not surprised. Back in college both of you were lust for alcohols.”

“He told me… he broke up with that female colleague quite some time ago.”

Yongsun couldn’t help but to feel pity for Hyunsik. Initially he ditched her, ditched his own pride, went all out just for the female colleague, yet he got nothing in the end, such a pity.

“He even asked me to speak some good words on his behalf to you, he wants to make it up to you.” Eric finally got to the point.

Yongsun let out a sarcastic smile.

“I didn’t promise him!” Eric immediately said.

“Right, you’d better not.” Yongsun tried to change the topic, “And about yesterday, you’d actually still had the face to broadcast it to everyone else in the company. Aren’t you even ashamed that you’re driving a car that isn’t registered yet?”

Eric hung his head and sighed dramatically, “that’s when I realized how realistic and sad our society is. Here we are here having to work our asses off or going through multiple paper works to get things done, there we have someone that could just simply make a call to settle problems, she didn’t even have to make the call personally.”

“Oppa, stop being obsessed with all these. People with status and authority have their own concerns as well, and as for us normal people, we just have to live our lives peacefully and consciously. That would be good enough for us.”

“Seriously though Yongsun-ah, how did you know Moon Byulyi? From the way I see it yesterday, it seems like you both are more than just hi-bye friends.” Here we go again. Yongsun was getting annoyed with the repeated questions about her relationship with Byulyi.

“Just nothing much. It’s just that she used to be Yonghye’s manager, we just know each other from that.” Yongsun replied, almost in an annoyed tone.

“Oh… can you get her out for a meal? To thank her.”

“Who is she? She might not even have the time to meet us.”

“Just try it! Anyway I’ve heard that the Moon Group might be venturing into the entertainment industry. They’re currently looking at entertainment companies to invest in, perhaps our company might get the chance!” Eric exclaimed excitedly.

“And that is none of my business and concern, since I’m an actress.” Yongsun shoo-ed Eric out of her room and closed the door. Lying against the door, Yongsun thought about the odds of meeting Byulyi once again, some part of her actually did hoped that the Moon Group might choose RBW as one to invest in. But then again, there were other bigger companies that were far reputable and bigger compared to them. She sighed as she removed that thought out of her mind.

 

The next day was a Saturday, Yonghye was back at home since it was a weekend. In the morning, Yongsun asked Yonghye to go grocery shopping with her so that they could cook together for lunch later. While they were walking towards the supermarket, not far ahead in front of them they saw a crowd surrounding a construction site. The construction had been on going for quite some time, walking closer they saw that the placed was surrounded by a couple of police car, an ambulance, there were even reporters and broadcasting stations, there were at least a hundred people here including the bystanders, all of them looking up towards the sky.

“Unnie, this construction is by my company though.” Yonghye pulled Yongsun closer towards the crowd.

Following the eye sight of everyone, Yongsun looked up as well. She saw someone sitting by the edge, still swinging its legs freely in the air.

A suicide threat? – Yongsun was reminded by the conversations she had yesterday when they were talking about people committing suicide just to get another’s attention. Then, a woman appeared and came over to talk to Yonghye.

Yonghye spoke to the woman briefly before returning to Yongsun, “Unnie, seems like this is from your industry though. That explains the reporters and broadcasting stations here. The woman whom just came is from my company’s PR team. She said that the person at the top is a trainee from a certain entertainment company. She said that she’s being wronged and wants compensation from that entertainment company.”

“Well, the dirty side of my industry I guess? Poor trainee, I wonder which entertainment company is she from.” Yongsun said as she continued to look upwards. “Anyway let’s go, this isn’t a sight that I will want to see” Yongsun tried pulling Yonghye out, but Yonghye wouldn’t budge.

“Unnie c’mon, let’s just stay and see for awhile longer.”

“What’s there to see? If that trainee really jumps, it would be really bloody around here. Don’t forget we still have to get the groceries.”

“5 minutes!” Yonghye insisted.

Yongsun could only give in to her sister, they continued to stay on for another 5 minutes. Looking from afar, it seems like several people climbed up and tried talking to that trainee. Yongsun had a fear of heights, even by looking at people walking on top gives her fears. Sensing her fears starting to take over, she quickly rushed Yonghye: “Can we go now? Since when were you someone who likes to poke your nose into someone’s business? How is this interesting? She won’t jump, she’s still young, she wouldn’t dare to.”  

Seeing that she isn’t moving a budge, Yongsun started tugging Yonghye’s hands and pulled her away from the crowd, Yonghye reluctantly followed behind.

Barely a few steps, a black Ferrari stopped right beside Yongsun, car plate MB 22. A pair of heels stepped out from the passenger’s seat, her slightly tanned and toned legs were bare all the way till her thighs, her tight skirt engulfed perfectly the shape of her thighs.

“Yongsun-unnie.” Hyejin greeted Yongsun.

Yongsun slightly nodded, before she wondered what was Hyejin doing here, she saw another figure emerging from the driver’s seat. Perhaps because it was the weekend, or perhaps she doesn’t have any business appointments today, Byulyi was in plain white muscle tee and black ripped skinny jeans. Yongsun thought that she only had abs, turns out that Byulyi had a slight toned biceps as well.

Yonghye’s hand slightly shivered in Yongsun’s hands, suddenly Yongsun understood why did Yonghye wanted to stay around longer.

Byulyi walked towards Yongsun, looked at Yongsun softly: “What are you doing here?”

“Passed by, being a busybody.”

“Miss Moon…” Yonghye softly shouted out.

Byulyi turned her gaze towards Yonghye, slightly nodded before she looked away towards Hyejin.

Hyejin looked around, before she snapped her fingers, then came a gush of people rushing up towards Byulyi and started reporting the situation to her, Byulyi and Hyejin followed the people towards the site. “Get the police to help clear the public away. Hyejin, remember to control the reporters and broadcasting stations, direct them to our PR team and make sure none of their cameras get any snaps of what’s going on around here, if any articles get released before our approval…”

“They’re going to lose their jobs, sponsors and advertisements blah blah blah” Heyjin finished up for Byulyi before she left to do what she was supposed to do.

Byulyi gave a nod and smirked, as she looked above towards the sky, her smile started to fade slowly.

Yongsun turned and looked at Yonghye, she was still staring at Byulyi’s backview amongst the crowd. Seeing that Yonghye is still in daze, Yongsun pulled Yonghye and started to leave the area, “Let’s go, they’re already clearing the crowd.”

Reaching the market, Yongsun focused on getting the ingredients while Yonghye’s soul was still not in herself. As Yongsun is picking out some chicken, her phone rang. Yongsun fiddled with her bag and pulled out her phone, without looking at the caller ID she puts the phone directly to her ears while continued to talk to the butler: “That’s right that’s the one, is the firm?”

“My ? I think so…?” A familiar voice came out from the other end of the line.

“Your ? What, who are you?” Yongsun took the phone out from her ear and looked at her phone, it was an unknown number. She put the phone back to her ears.

“I’m Moon Byulyi.”

Yongsun had a shock, suddenly she was flushed red right up to her cheeks when she remembered the conversation. “Hi! Erm! Miss Moon!”

Hearing these, Yonghye looked at Yongsun immediately.

“Can you come back to the site?”

“Me?!”

“Yes, there’s something I need your help with.”

“Erm, ok… I’ll come back.”

“Do you need me to send a car to you?”

“No it’s fine, I’m just in a market nearby.”

Hanging up the call, I turned to Yonghye: “Let’s go, we need to go back to the site.” Grabbing the groceries, Yongsun pulled Yonghye towards the exit of the supermarket. “Hey Miss! Your firm chicken , do you still want it?” Yongsun cursed softly in her heart, quickly turned back and grabbed the chicken, paid and quickly left.

“Unnie, why are we going back?” Yonghye asked curiously.

“It’s Miss Moon, she needs my help.”

“Why does she have your number?” Yonghye grabbed the phone in Yongsun’s hand, “This isn’t her number!”

“Perhaps it’s her assistant’s number.” Yongsun lied.

“How did she know you?” Yonghye kept probing.

“Once, a friend introduced.”

“Which friend?”

“Not someone that you know.”

As they talked, they reached the site in no time. Hyejin was already waiting at the entrance, as soon as she sees Yongsun, she signaled for the bodyguards to allow them to enter. Byulyi was talking to a few people that appears to be of some high ranking people. Hyejin walked over to Byulyi, whispered softly to her ears. Byulyi looked towards Yongsun and nodded at her, signaling her to go over.

“Yonghye, stay here.” Yongsun then passed the groceries to Yonghye and walked carefully towards Byulyi.

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. 🙏
