“That man really need some piece of scolding.”

Shinhye ties up her hair in a bun and walks out of the bathroom in quick pace, heading to his room.

She was about to push open the door of his room when Yonghwa opened it from inside.

Shinhye can’t find her stability and closes her eyes waiting to kiss the floor when Yonghwa gathers her in his arm and holds her waist securely.

Shinhye held her breath.

Yonghwa too.

He was staring while her hair that was tied up loosens and covers her face.

It was like in a drama.

Or are they in some kind of weekend drama?

“Open your eyes, your pretty face did not touch the floor.”

Yonghwa said and straightens his suit.

Shinhye blinks her eyes but soon she gains her sense.

“Thank thank you director.”

“Hmm.”

Yonghwa just hum and crosses his arm.

He stares on Shinhye who was blushing like crazy.

“But why are you here? Pushing the door without knocking?”

“Deh?”

Shinhye can’t even heard what his question was.

She was like struck by him?

His scent still lingering on her body.

His masculine scent.

Red creeps onto Shinhye’s cheek again while she remember how close they are when Yonghwa stops her from falling.

She smiles.

Looking at Shinhye who wasn’t responding, Yonghwa fake a cough.

“Did you go crazy even without hitting the floor Miss Park?”

“I I I..”

Shinhye clears as she slaps her self mentally for imagining things.

“I was about to inform you about the meeting director.”

“I was the one who ask you to fix yourself before the meeting.”

“Ah yeh. I was going to show you that I am ready.”

She smiles like a fool.

Yonghwa stares at her from her head to toe before he shakes his head.

“You are strange.”

Yonghwa said and walks pass her.

Shinhye knock her head in embarrassment.

“Come faster.”

“Yes director.”

Shinhye kicks off her fancy heel and change into a more comfortable heel (according to Yonghwa) and hurriedly rush to Yonghwa who was standing in front of the elevator.

“Fix your clumsiness Miss Park.”

“Yes. I’m sorry director.”

Shinhye glances at Yonghwa who was standing calmly.

He looks extremely handsome to her eyes today.

Even his side looks are handsome.

Shinhye keeps staring at him, his eyebrows, his eyes, his nose and his lips.

And suddenly, her heart starts beating furiously.

Shinhye gulps.

“What is this feeling?”

And the elevator slides open at the perfect timing.

Shinhye let out a heavy breath.

“Today is going to be a very long day.”

She thought as she steps into the elevator along with Yonghwa, the extremely handsome guy for her starting today.

“Hyungsik, your hyung is the doctor who handle Miss Lee's case right?”

Hyungsik just nods.

“Do you know that he is the greatest surgeon? He never makes any mistake.”

“Where do you hear that?”

“My omma said that. Most of the patient looks for him. My omma is a nurse in the ER.”

“Ahh right. I forgot that your mom is a nurse. Yahh Hyungsik.”

“Wae?”

“You are very lucky. Your hyung is a doctor and your noona works with the mighty Yonghwa.”

Hyungsik just smiles.

“Yah Hyungsik.”

“Wae?”

“It’s been a while since your noona comes to fetch you. Why?”

“She works for the mighty Jung Yonghwa, that’s why.”

One of his friend answers while the other nods.

“Ah right. Is Shinhye noona okay? I heard rumor about Yonghwa sunbae. He is scary in some way.”

“Yeah, she looks like she did have been through some hardness.”

“Chinca? Poor noona.”

“But I heard he’s been like that since the family loses Mr. Jung.”

“So, he has no father?”

One of his friend nods.

Hyungsik turns his body and join in listening to them.

“He was 6 or 7 at that time; I’m not sure. He became quiet and shows his sadness without action. You know kids at that age. They don’t know how to express if they are sad.”

“So, instead of throwing tantrums, Yonghwa sunbae becomes fussy. He wants perfection. Maybe jinx.”

 “But where do you guys hear this?”

Another friend asks while Hyungsik listen silently.

“I know it from my girlfriend. Her unnies told her.”

“Is it true?”

“I don’t know. Maybe it is, maybe it’s not. But how is Shin noona doing?”

“She is okay these past few days. Maybe she gets accustomed by his style.”

“Who knows, maybe noona can change him.”

“Why should he change? He is cool like that.”

Hyungsik chuckles at his friend remarks.

“Noona had this charm. She really is something.”

“Yah. Stop it now. She is there for work, not for changing him. By the way, noona will come by after work.”

“Chinca?”

Hyungsik raises his eyebrows as an answer.

“I will ask Shin noona later then.”

“As you wish. Let’s go now. We’ll run late for Literature.”

“You received it? I hope you like it. Stay healthy Shinhye ssi.”

Seunghyun said with a lingering smile as he ended the call.

“Seunghyun.”

Seunghyun hides the red diary that he was holding when his father walks in his room.

“Deh appa.”

“Are you okay?”

Seunghyun nods.

“Do you have something to tell me?”

“Yes. We’ll be having annual meeting end of this month. Can you come by at that time? You should show up at least then.”

“Appa. You know that I.”

“Ara, but it’s just few hours meeting, and it is in the conference room.”

Mr. Choi sighs.

“Just, make time.”

He pats his back and smiles before he left.

Seunghyun let out a heavy breath.

Hospital.

It’s not the place that brings great memory.

                                                                                                ***

“Noona.”

Hyungsik widens his eyes when he stares at his sister.

“Is this really you?”

Shinhye chuckles as she kisses his cheek and ruffles his friends’ hairs.

“How are you guys doing? I brought pizza. Dig in.”

“Gomawo noona.”

Shinhye smiles and sits beside Hyungsik.

“You hate these colors.”

“I am a secretary. I have to do things to please my boss right.”

Hyungsik nods.

“Noona, how is it working with Yonghwa sunbae?”

“I love working there.”

Shinhye answers while smiling happily.

Hyungsik looks at her in disbelieve.

“Chinca?”

She nods.

“Noona, he is fussy right?”

One of Hyungsik’s friends asks while chomping on the pizza.

“He is. But we can’t call it fussy. It’s perfection.”

Hyungsik was surprised at Shinhye’s answer.

“Why did she talks like this when she keeps whining and stomping her feet while she talks about Yonghwa at home?”

He thought while scratching his head.

It’s not that his friends aren’t aware of Shinhye’s character.

Shinhye keeps smiling when she looks at the kids enjoying their meal.

After a while, Shinhye turns to Hyungsik who was looking at her in a daze.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

He shakes his head.

“I’m just not used to the new you.”

Shinhye laughs as she hugs his shoulder.

“You will see me evolving day by day now sweetie.”

Shinhye said and smiles widely.

She is happy.

Her heart is happy.

Her whole body is rejoicing.

And why is that happening?

To be continued…

Sneak peak

“Who give you that flower?”

“Seunghyun ssi.”

“Is that why you are smiling like this all these while?”
