VIRAL LOVE Chapter 30 : HONESTY “This is absolutely brilliant, Kang Mo-yeon Ssi.” She smiles. “Thank you, Takashi Nim. We’ve worked very hard for this so I’m really happy that it’s going well.” The director grins back. “You’re very gifted. How come you’re not producing your own album?” She laughs softly before shaking her head. “My boyfriend asks me that all the time actually… he doesn’t understand it either… perhaps someday…” “Oh, the football player, right? Yoo Si-jin Ssi?” She raises her brow in surprise. “You’ve done some homework I see.” “I had to find out who is the lucky guy who has managed to win your heart.” Mo-yeon can’t help the hint of blush spreading across her cheeks. “I think we are both winner in that case.” “Arasseoyo,” the handsome director laughs while putting his palms up as if surrendering, “Who am I to stand in between true love? By the way, we've confirmed the venue for the grand premiere of Princess Yoona next month. There will be a red carpet event so I expect you and Yoo Si-jin Ssi to be there.” Mo-yeon blinks. “Grand premiere? Oh, I don’t think I will be attending.” “Nonsense.” He shakes his head firmy. “You’ve worked very hard for this project, Kang Mo-yeon Ssi. In fact I think your soundtracks are what people will remember the most from this movie once we release it. I know you’re used to being behind the scene, but really, you have to come. We want to recognize your effort.” She stays silent for a while. “I’ll think about it. Thank you Takashi Nim.” --- It has been weeks and the flowers are still coming every single day. It’s practically driving Mo-yeon nuts. She had first suspected Takashi Nim to be behind it but it is clear now they’re from the pesky sparkly jerkward instead. She wonders if he’s planning to keep doing it until she gives up and calls him back if only to tell him to stop. She also wonders how long she can keep up with the guilt of keeping it away from Si-jin. Myeong-joo keeps hinting that she should let him know and deep inside Mo-yeon knows she is right. But there is something that is stopping her from telling her boyfriend every time he asks her if there is anyone bothering her. She would gaze into the tired eyes of her smiling boyfriend and her protective instinct would just burst out. She can't help the overwhelming need to shield him from everything that would make him upset so she would promise herself that she's going to tell him about it later. And now it has been weeks and she still hasn’t said anything. She sighs out loud as she recalls the moment when she had blew up when he had kept the Arsenal news from her. Aigoo….this feels a lot like karma. Haish, ottoke? ---- Mo-yeon presses the blender and let the machine runs for half a minute. She pours the green concoction into a mug and proceeds to drink from it with a straw until it is halfway finished. “See? I told you I drink the smoothies!” Si-jin laughs from the screen of her tablet that she had placed on the kitchen counter. “I know babe. I trust you.” Mo-yeon just gives him a brilliant smile in return before she continues sipping from the mug. Si-jin stares at her for a long second before he suddenly clears his throat. “Mo-yeon Ah?” “Hmmmm?” She asks distractedly, her hands busy cleaning up and putting away the leftover ingredients in a container for storage. “Remember when I hid the Arsenal news from you?” Uh-oh. She swallows as her hands stop moving. “Err, of course. Waeyo?” He gives her a charmingly boyish smile in reply. “Well, I just wanted to tell you that I’m still sorry about that. I shouldn’t have kept it from you. You were right; we are in this together so I
