Before I let you read this, I have a few things to say. First things first, hi people! How are you? Fine? I hope so. It's been like a century since I last updated the story but I'm sorry if I made some of you thought that I deleted the story which I would never do. I drafted the story because I wanted to add more things to the older chapters to make things a bit more clearer than before. You guys can read the older chapters if you want for more info I guess but only the first two chapters because chapters 3-8 are currently under reconstructing. Second, thank you for those who are still subscribed to the story I mean thanks for having faith in me and for those who unsubscribed, it's understandable don't worry I'm not mad because sometimes you just lose faith in something it's okay. Third, as an apology gift I have double chapters yay! Fourth, I want to give a shout out to these two members right here akrr1997 and hilfigerTzu for being such an awesome person and make me feel good about myself and made me feel more motivated and more enthusiastic about writing the story really thank you so much and most importantly to all the subscribers thank you. Fifth, I apologize for the extreme slowness in terms of updates but to be totally honest I have no free time because of part time and I feel bad for making you people wait. Sixth, I'm legitimately blank on what should I add more to chapters 3-8 esp. chapter 3 but I'll try my best to get some ideas. Ok Imma go now, enjoy the two chapters. Adios amigos. Nyeongan chingu. 

I stand staring out into the big busy city of Seoul from my office as I take a sip of my cup of joe. Everyone down there look like tiny little ants swarming around, I chuckle at the thought.  I wonder what's on their minds like they're wandering around and minding their own businesses but what can they be thinking about? Are they thinking about work? Family? Friends? Significant others? Or what are they going to have for lunch? Maybe that's what they're thinking about. Enough about other people, do you wonder what I'm thinking about? Work? No. Family? Not really. Friends? Probably not. Significant other? Sorry but I don't have one. Lunch? I'm not hungry yet. Ok I'll stop wasting time and tell you what I'm thinking about.......

Her. Her as in Bae Irene. 

Yes, Bae Irene, it's been weeks since I've last seen her and I just can't seem to stop thinking about her. She seems to be on my mind all day and all night, when I'm in meetings, she just pops out of nowhere. When I'm driving, she's right there on my mind or even when I'm out for my morning jog, there's her face everywhere I look at. It's frustrating to have her on my mind when I don't want her to but somehow she's always there. Her smile is on my mind, the smile that would probably make thousands of people go blind just by a look at it because of how bright and beautiful it is. Her eyes which I find very alluring like it could bewitch every staring eyes that lay upon her including mine.

Her lips that are very addictive like whenever I kiss her I don't want to stop I want to keep on going and going, I would kiss them all day if she lets me. I don't know why I'm thinking about her, why does she have to be on my mind every damn time? I know I shouldn't be thinking about her; she's already taken and I'm sure she loves her boyfriend very much but I can't stop, she's always there on my mind. I really don't know what is wrong with me, I want to see her everyday, I want to be near her every second and I want to hold her every chance I get. I mean like what is this feeling that I'm feeling, I don't like it when I know she's with him, I don't like it when she talks about him or mention him it makes me sick and it angers me.

I mean the best to describe the feelings I'm feeling now is the I-want-her-all-to-myself kind of feeling I think. I know it's wrong to be feeling kind of way when she already has someone in her heart but what can I do about it? Love comes when you least expect it. Ok wait a minute... did the L word just appeared, woah back up for a moment 'love' no way man, never in hell am I falling in love with that sadistic midget no way Jose that damn word doesn't exist in my dictionary. I plan to hurt her and she will get hurt in the end, that's what I plan to do and there will be no love involved at least not from me.

"Oh Seulgi Seulgi Seulgi, that's my boy, yes never in my place are you going to fall in love with that sadistic smurf there's no way Seulgi." A devil form of me appears. Ha! Told you that I'm never gonna fall in love with that midget, I like you devil. "I like you too my boy." The devil and I high-five each other. "No Seulgi, love is such a beautiful thing, it's what makes the world goes around, think about it without love your parents wouldn't met each other and you wouldn't have been born without love." An angel form appears.

You know angel you do actually have a point here if my parents didn't fell in love with each other then I wouldn't have been born and wouldn't have met that beautiful lady. Wait a minute.... why is my heart beating fast at the thought of her? "Yes my child that's it you're falling in love yes!" Angel says. Love? Falling in love? It's so foreign to me. What is this? God damn it heart stop beating so fast! "Oh my child just go with the flow love is a beautiful thing it makes you feel happy, elated and delightful." The angel beams. But angel she's already someone else's, I can't fall for her that's a bad thing to do but people have done bad things in their lives before right?

I mean people have murdered, robbed, and other bad things I mean by me doing this wouldn't be so bad right? "No Seulgi your heart is not beating fast because of 'that' thing maybe you're just nervous about something like an important meeting scheduled next week or the day after tomorrow." The devil speaks. "Pfft 'love' that thing is overrated, pointless qnd a waste of time. Think about it my boy there are so many girls waiting in line just to get with you and imagine how much fun you would have with them." The devil arches an eyebrow.

You actually have a point devil, yes there are girls waiting in line just to get a glimpse of me but I just choose to ignore them all and instead I'm chasing or interested in something that already has an owner who am I kidding but whatever I'll make her end up like those I've been with hurt and brokenhearted. A knock on the door brings me back to reality, I turn my head to the door and my secretary pops her in. "Mr.Kang you have a meeting in 10 minutes and also dinner with a client." I nod and she pops her her head back out into the hallway. I put the empty cup on my table and sit down for a minute. Bae Irene you did it again, appearing on my mind every time. What am I going to do with you? I get up from my desk and walk out the door to the meeting room.

-

"Mr.Kang the financial report seems to be unusual ." One of the financial manager informs me as they give me the report. I inspect the report thoroughly and there is something wrong with it.

"The budget here seems to be way too higher than the original one we've discussed about." I say sternly.

"Yes, Mr.Kang it has seem to be like that." Is that all you freaking have to say? I narrow my eyes at the other financial manager who is fidgeting under the table and everybody else here in the room seems to have their head hung low.

"Mr.Kwon what happened to the original budget we've discussed about? Why is this budget isn't the same as the one we've discussed about?! Why the hell is this one more higher than the original one?! I'm talking to you Kwon! What the hell happened to the budget?!" I lost my cool. Someone in my company is embezzling? What the hell is this?! A disloyal employee, yeah right.

"I-I'm S-s-sorry M-Mr.K-Kang I-I n-needed th-the m-money f-for-"

"Talk properly!" He startles at my voice and gulps down big time.

"I apologize Mr.Kang, I needed the money to pay for my mother's hospitality and my children's education. I'm the only one here who's working sir, my wife has already left me and I have to take responsibilities for all that goes within my family." He claims and it makes me scoff in disbelieve. Does he think I'm stupid?

I chuckle bitterly. "Mr.Kwon you do realize that to become a CEO , you must be intelligent, initiative, innovative, hard-working and very good at problem solving right?" He nods. " And do you think that anyone in this world would employ a mental or a stupid person to become their CEO?" He shakes his head. "And why do you think that I'm the CEO? My father? Yes, that's one part but the other part is I'm not stupid Kwon, I'm not and for you to think that you could fool me with your little explanation then you're wrong. If you'd thought that just because you've worked with my father before you've worked with me and that I probably don't know about you enough then you're wrong again, just because I took over my father's position not long ago doesn't mean that I don't know anything or everything about you people here. I went over every staff's portfolio here and you Kwon are one lying scumbag, you don't have a family, you live alone and most importantly you don't have a wife, never did."

He widen his eyes and so does everybody else here. "If you're wondering how I knew about this, let me just a thing or two here. One, I'm the son of one of the biggest company in this country, I have lots of connection thus I can always track all of you without you people even knowing. Lastly, I'm always observing everybody here if you'd thought that I don't give a damn about you people here then you're wrong, I'm always observing, looking and watching so be aware of your actions cause I'm not going to tolerate any kind of disloyalty here." They're all looking and listening to me attentively. I turn my attention to my secretary who also looks scared. "Yura, please send the guards up here to get this low-life disloyal garbage out of my sight and my company and also make sure that 'it' doesn't come near or set foot in my company ever again." I order with a cold tone.

"Y-yes Mr.Kang." She gets out of the room and Kwon dashes to me and kneels down in front of me begging for mercy. "Please M-Mr.Kang don't fire me please, I need this job please sir, I won't do it again sir please don't fire me." He begs as he holds on to my leg. I ignore his pleas and shake my leg vigorously making him lose his balance, I lean down and grab his collar tightly.

"I will not have mercy or sympathy for a low-life unfaithful rubbish like you, you don't need this job you know why? Because, you won't be having a job for years because you'll be serving your in jail for a long time and don't worry about finding a job when you get out; I'm sure there are plenty robbery gangs you can join as it seems like you can steal pretty well you two-face detestable ." I push him away harshly then the guards come in with Yura behind them taking the 'trash' out of my meeting room and he's still begging for forgiveness. The door closes and I turn my attention to the remaining staffs here.

"This is what's going to happen if any of you here is disloyal and dishonest to me and my company and I warn you that if you don't want to rot in jail then you better be loyal and honest to me and my company also if you can't take it anymore then just quit I'm not going to stop you but if you want to stay then be sincere to me and my company otherwise jail will be your new home do I make myself clear? " I look at each and everyone of them as all of them had their eyes glued to their own laps. "I said do I make myself clear!" My voice startles all of them and they all raise their heads up. 

"Yes sir." They all say in unison. I take a deep breath before sitting down again.

"If there's no more interruption then let us continue with the meeting." Everyone in the room nod. 

-

After that little outburst, our meeting resumes with the same old things to discuss about, reports after reports and documents that needed to be checked upon. Once our meeting is done, I dismiss everyone and went back to my office. As I enter my office, I walk over to my desk and plop down onto the chair. I let out a long sigh. "You can trust anyone huh?" I mutter to myself. How ironic an employee that has worked here before you even entered, you've heard your father compliment the employee over and over again saying how hard working and how honest and loyal the employee is but look at what he did, loyal and honest my . Well, I don't have to worry about him anymore he can rot in jail and I couldn't care less about it. A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts. "Mr.Kang sir Ms.Kim called to inform you about dinner tonight." Yura pops her head though the door. I nod.

"Yura-ssi please call my lawyer and tell him to take care of Kwon's case and make sure that he does everything to make sure that good-for-nothing gets his punishment." She nods. "And Yura-ssi it's almost lunchtime, I'll go out for a while and if there's anything important just call me alright. " She nods again then goes back. I stand up and grab my carkey in the drawer then I make my way to the elevator down to the basement level. The elevator dings and I walk towards my car. I unlock the car and get in the set off to my destination.

The roads are clear as I drive to my destination and not for long I've reached the place. I switch off the engine and get out of the car. I enter the shop and the staffs welcomes me. "Welcome sir." She smiles first then it later becomes a mouth-opening expression. I feel the corner of my lips tug up and I walk closer to her. 

"Hi. " She eyes me still disbelieving my presence here. 

"What can I get you sir? " She asks with her voice stuttering a bit. Oh how I miss her voice and that face she makes everytime I show up unexpectedly. 

"I want you to come with me."

"I'm sorry sir, I can't do that; I'm working here. " She tries her best to reject me but we both know that's never going to work.

"Just come with me it's almost lunchtime anyways." I plea. 

"I can't sir." Why is she being so difficult?

"Drop the formality Bae, we both know never in hell would you call me sir. "

"What are you doing here? If you're her just to bug me then go away please I'm working." 

"And I'm not? Come on Bae just come with me for a couple of minutes I need your help with something, if you come I'll treat you lunch as well, it's a win-win situation." I persuade her. 

"How is this a win-win situation?" She asks confusingly.

"Well you help me with something and I treat you with lunch, see its a win-win situation I get something and you get a full stomach. Come on just come with me pwease." I give her my puppy eyes. 

"Unnie just go with him, he looks like he's in need of help. " A girl says. 

"Thank you." I say in a cheerful tone, she groans and rolls her eyes.

"Fine I'll go with you. Are you sure you'll be okay here all alone I mean it's almost rush hour Jieun-ah." Jieun? Why does that name sound so familiar? Jieun Jieun Jieun. Oh Lee Jieun, so she looks like this, pretty cute. 

"I'll be fine unnie." Jieun smiles.

"So you're Jieun." I say grabbing her attention.

"You know who I am? " She asks surprisingly.

"Yeah we talked on the phone." She looks confused now and I chuckle at her. I reach my hand out for a shake. "Hi, I'm Kang Seulgi of Kang's company, we've talked on the phone before if you don't remember and it's nice to meet you in person Jieun-ssi." She turns dumbfounded and shakes my hand. "Come on let's go." I let go of Jieun's hand and motion Irene to walk outside to my car. I unlock the door and open it for her then I went to the other side and get in as well. I turn on the engine and hit the road.

The road is filled with cars and the streets are flocking with people buying and having lunch."What do you need my help with?" Irene pops a question.

I smile a bit . "I'm having dinner with a client tonight and I want to get her something so I needed a woman's perspective on stuff." She scoffs.

"That's all you need me for? I'd thought you were the ladies man or something, I'd thought you'd be an expert on this kind of stuff." She scoffs even more. Actually I wanted to see you for some reasons.

"I used to be one but now I'm not." I state firmly.

"Oh really?" Her tone is full of skepticism.

The corner of my lip curves up a bit." Yes, I don't anymore."

"I find that hard to believe somehow." This woman is unbelievable, seriously.

"I stopped already." I confirm.

"Why did you stop?" 

"I don't know maybe it was starting to become a nonsense thing to do or maybe I'm just after something right now."

"Oh and what is that you're after?" 

"You." I say teasingly and she hits my shoulder. "Ow! Don't have to be so violent." I exclaim.

"You're so disgusting you know that." She scoffs in disgust.

"Well, you did some inappropriate stuffs with this disgusting person right here." I again and I gain a smack from her again. "Ow! Jesus woman! Are you a boxing champion or something? Is that why you like to turn me into your punching bag?" I can still feel her hand on my shoulder.

"I'm not a boxing champion but I just love hurting you." She says.

"Wow, I was correct you are a barbaric sadist." She clicks her tongue.

"Whatever, Kang." She snorts.

 Soon later, we've reached the parking lot, I drive over to park the car.

"What are we doing here at a condo?" She asks as we climb out of the car.

"I needed to park my car somewhere." I answer and she nods with slightly open.

"I thought you were supposed to own a room here to be able to park here." She says and that makes my lip curve up.

"You're right, you're supposed to have a room here to be able to park here." I say trying to give her a hint.

"So I'm guessing you have a room here." She says getting the hint.

"Yes darling, you're correct again." I then pull her closer by her waist making our bodies pressed together. I lean in closer. "Maybe we both can have some fun later on." I whisper into her ear and smirk. I lean back and I can see that she's shocked then she proceeds to push me away.

"Ew! Kang get your head out of the gutter." She retorts and I snicker.

"Sure Bae." I grab her hand and lead the way.

-

We both walk around the streets of people selling, roaming and having lunch. We both visited shops after shops deciding what to buy for my client, we walked and walked but I really can't decide what to buy for her. I have never seen her face before, I've only heard her voice. 

"Why don't we buy her something simple like a  bouquet of flowers or something." Her suggestion brings me back from my thoughts.
