After Jaejoong’s photoshoot for his new drama, he went to rest inside the studio’s waiting room. He kept an eye on his phone. He had a flashback of seeing Yoona in Jihyo’s building. He was too overwhelmed with seeing her there but there was a part of him that pondered about working in the same place with his fiancé.  “What is Jihyo up to? Is she really working there?” he tapped the screen on the phone. He was thinking about both women, he was not sure about who he really was thinking about. “Aish! Whatever.” He called Yoona and waited for her to answer his call. She did not pick up as it went directly to voicemail.

He decided to leave a message instead. “Are you working with Jihyo?” he typed.

“Wait…” he said, “It won’t be good if I mentioned Jihyo.”

“What were you doing yesterday, I’m just asking because I saw you.” he stared at it again but then had second thoughts about sending it.

“Aish! She’s going to think that I’m asking useless stuff.” he pressed back. He was frustrated, he was thinking too much. He worried about Yoona working for Jihyo because everyone knew her personality. She might be torturing poor Yoona in work. He lay back on his chair staring at the ceiling. “Ok, I’ll just say that..” he opened his phone and wrote. He acted with sudden impulse without any thought about what to write as long as he started a conversation. “What are you doing?” he pressed send. Again he looked at his messages and saw that he sent the message to “Miranda” instead. Miranda was Jihyo’s contact name on his phone. He thought of using that name because Jihyo was a prodigy from the film “Devil Wears Prada”.

He jolted up from his seat, “Oh! Aigo, you dummy.” He tossed his phone back on the chair. He rested his hands on his hips gritting his teeth.

DING

He got a message, he took his phone back and a reply from Jihyo came, “Busy.”

--

Meanwhile, at that time Jihyo was staring at her phone surprised to get a text from Jaejoong. “Maybe he’s going to ask about the camera.” She was lying down on the sofa inside her office. She lay there comfortably with her feet on the arm top along with her toes squirming with one another. It was the different image that Jaejoong thought of being busy.

Another reply from Jaejoong came, “Ah, talk to you later then.”

Jihyo quickly sat up, “Is he going to end this conversation right away?” she hurriedly wrote back, “By the way, thank you for the camera. I really like it. Next time, don’t touch anything on my desk.” She sent the message.

--

Jaejoong sat comfortably again on the chair, “Is she really thanking me or what?” he remembered grabbing chocolates from her jar.

--

“Don’t worry, I’ll repay you back with all the chocolates in the world.” He said in the text message. Jihyo withheld her happy face as soon as she saw the text message.

--

“Get me a chocolate factory then that would be better.” Jihyo said. He had a wicked grin on his face while typing a new message. When he finished typing he giggled.

--

Jihyo was paralyzed staring at her phone. “You were really heavy. You probably weigh more than 60kg now.”  She was staring at the number 60kg, it repeated inside her head a couple of times.

“This can’t be true.” She muttered to herself. She ran towards her drawer and pulled out a weighing scale. She hid it under there to keep being informed about her weight. Too bad she wasn’t keeping count lately. She stood on top of the scale slowly and saw numbers going beyond 50kg. She stepped off before the numbers were finalized. “Aish!” She hurried and grabbed her stuff. She hurried towards her company’s private gym.

--

At that time Jaejoong was waiting for Jihyo’s reply thinking that she’d probably start cursing him out or something but he didn’t receive any message. He wondered endlessly and then the thought came into his head. “She wouldn’t possibly be crying right now right? Or maybe she’d be stuffing herself with more chocolate…” he thought.

--

Nightfall came, and Jihyo spent her entire day in the gym. On her way out of the gym, she had her 3^rd bottle of water. She felt sore all over her body. She was very conscious. Then at that time she remembered her time getting her MBA degree in the United States. She was overweight because she was not conscious about her looks. She focused more in her studies, her life changed dramatically before she returned to Korea. As soon as she graduated her mindset was to improve her image, before everyone knew she was already in the cover of the Outstanding Women magazine. She only wanted to please her parents and those people who expected a lot from her.

“Song Jihyo!”

Some called out loud by the hall, running towards her was Gary. Jihyo stopped for a moment and had a dreary facial expression towards him. He slowly walked towards her to notice how she was feeling. “Oh, Kang Gary. Long time no see.” her resolute voice didn’t really agree to the way she looked earlier.

“What’s going on? Are you okay?” he asked.

Jihyo frowned, “I gained weight.”

“Aye… be quiet! You’re okay!”

Without realizing, Jihyo and Gary walked together outside the building. They enjoyed reminiscing the past together. They giggled continuously and Gary brought up what happened that night at the club. Jihyo couldn’t help but be flustered about what really happened. It made her happy that Jaejoong came that night but she couldn’t help but feel wrong at the same time. She didn’t want to have any feelings towards him thinking that she does not have the right to feel that way. But at the same time Gary made Jihyo take her mind off from what was happening.

They were at the basement parking lot, “Do you want me to take you home?” Gary asked.

“That’s okay, I brought my car.” She answered.

“Then do you want to come home with me?” he jokingly asked.

“What?” she laughed, she always enjoyed Gary’s pickup lines.

“It’s Monday today.”

“Forget it oppa.”

At that moment, Jaejoong was inside the car seeing the two together bickering in front of him. “Are those two secretly dating?” he was a bit agitated seeing Jihyo giggling in front of another man. “Don’t they see me? I have the nicest car here.” She said to himself. He took of his glasses and said, “Why am I even here?”
