Chapter 2: Oh!
LOVE NEVER SLEEPS (My Heart's Candy)
“Oh oh oh oppa-reul saranghae
Ah ah ah ah manhi manhihae
Oppa!! Answer your phone” voices of four girls filled the black and white bedroom.
The man under the blanket reached out to his phone and answered it. “Yeobosaeyo? Oh, EunJung-ah, what is it?”
The woman on the other line was already in panic as she spoke with her boss. “Yah! Mr. Ok TaecYeon, it is already 7:50am, where are you, you have an important meeting at 8:30am. You better get up from your bed and prepare for office, or else Park sajangnim will get angry again.”
EunJung’s words did not register to Taec’s mind immediately. It was as if his brain lagged for 5 seconds before realizing that he was already late for work, and will be late for an important meeting. It was a good thing that his secretary and good friend EunJung called him. He got up from his bed as fast as he could after he ended the call with EunJung. He ran to the showers and just grabbed whatever suit and tie he saw. His head was still hurting while he went to the elevator and to his car. He drove at the speed of light and did not care if he was caught by the police. Fortunately, he was not seen by any police that time. He stopped right in front of the company building’s entrance and a man in a suit took his car to the valet. As he walked across the lobby, everyone bowed down to him and greeted him “Good Morning sir”, he quickly went in the elevator and as the door opened to his office’s floor, his secretary was already waiting impatiently for him. She handed him folders which contained the briefing of today’s meeting and he just browsed through them and gave the folders back to EunJung. The two, at their fast pace of walking, turned right and went in a large conference room. The people inside the conference room bowed to him, except for one man in a pink suit who had his eyebrows already furrowed.
“Now we are complete, let us proceed with today’s meeting.” The man in the pink suit started.
The meeting went on for a few minutes more than an hour. The people started leaving the room and only two men were left, the man in the pink suit and Taec. “Yah, Ok TaecYeon! You were late, what do you think you were doing in an important meeting. Even though it is your first time being late, I am still disappointed with you.” Taec answered, “JinYoung samcheon, joisonghaeyo (sorry), I slept in and was tired of yesterday night’s party.” And with a mischievous smile, Taec ran out from the room while saying sorry to his uncle.
In one avenue in Seoul...
“Just right in the corner ahjussi.” Fany told the cab driver. “Here you go and keep the change. Thank you ahjussi” Fany got off the cab and walked inside a building. Security guards and other employees who saw her bowed and greeted her as she walked across the lobby. She went straight to the elevator and an employee in a suit held the elevator door for her and bowed again to her as she went inside the elevator. She smiled as she held up a paper bag to her eye level, waiting for the elevator to arrive at the 19th floor. The elevator door opened and she walked out and went straight to an office.
“Good Morning Miss Hwang, Mr. Ok is inside his office but he’s talking with Miss Ham. Is it alright for you to wait for a while?” Taec’s other secretary told Fany.
“Are they talking about something important?” Fany asked. “I am not sure Miss, but I think t
