First Saturday
Talk to Me, Sweetheart!"This is insane!"
"I know," I whisper guiltily, "but it isn't only for me, it's for my father and family too."
"But a heart break contract?" Hyunsik groans, "will your father not be able to find work elsewhere? Structural engineers should be in demand everywhere!"
"He could, but then he wouldn't be the head of department; he would start all over again as a small employee, and climb his way to the top slowly after 30 years of hard work down the drain!"

Oh, and just some extra information:
He was half .
"Hei-ssi?!" Minhyuk squeaks, almost inaudible as his Adam's apple moves up and down once, indicating his nervous gulp.
"Uh, hey!" I try to force a laugh, but the sound comes out as more of a choked bark, "how's the weekend going for you so far?"
"It's Saturday morning..."
"Oh! Yes it is...haha..." I look away, blushing, "I'm uh...what you could call your weekend housekeeper from now on..."
Realization suddenly brightens his eyes, and he mumbles: "So that's why aunty wasn't
