“Soohyun. What are you doing here?”

“Appa is busy.”

She said as she climbs up on the couch and sits on it.

“I meet her on the lobby alone, she told me she is your daughter and asks me to bring her to you.”

“Oh. Thank you Miss Park.”

“Kenchana. I’ll leave first madam.”

“Deh.”

Yoomi sighs as Shinhye went out.

“Did appa send you here?”

Soohyun shakes her head.

“My teacher sends me here.”

“Why?”

“Appa calls the school that he can’t fetch me.”

“Do you ask your teacher to send you here?”

Soohyun nods.

“But omma, poor that unni.”

“That unni? Wae?”

“She is working with samchun.”

Yoomi chuckles.

“She can do it sweetie.”

“I told that unni to tell you if Samchun bullied her.”

“You do? Good girl. Do you want to eat something?”

“Deh.”

“Do you want to go out or you want me to order something for you?”

“I want to eat here. But omma.”

“Wae?”

“I want to play with that unni.”

“She is working right now. Do you want to see her again?”

Soohyun nods.

“But I’m afraid of monster samchun.”

Yoomi laughs.

“Don’t call him like that sweet heart.”

“But he never smiles. Monsters never smile too.”

“He just doesn’t know how to smile. Would you like to teach him?”

“Ani. That unni can do it.”

“Arasseo. I’ll order some food for you neh.”

Soohyun nods and took out her drawing book and color pencils from her bag.

Yoomi shakes her head and calls her PA to order foods for Soohyun.

“What are you up to today Kim Jaejoong?”

She stares at her daughter with a frown.

“Sorry that I married a wrong guy.”

                                                                                                ***

“You are late.”

“I am. I’m sorry.”

“I told you I don’t like mistakes.”

“It’s not a mistake Director. I’m just 2 minutes late. And I have a reason.”

“Get ready for my next meeting.”

Yonghwa said coldly and walks out of the room.

Shinhye grits her teeth before she stomps her feet towards the door.

Yonghwa’s attitude sometimes is just too much for her to handle.

But still, she is here, dealing on his fussiness, coldness and dullness.

Shinhye glances at Yonghwa who was standing on the side of her table.

“I’m dead.”

She rushes to her table and organize her things.

“I said I hate messiness.”

“I acknowledge that.”

Shinhye bows to him, seeking for forgiveness for the nth time on that day.

Yonghwa glares at her.

“Be quick.”

Shinhye then took the necessary things that Yonghwa needed before she changes her stiletto to a half inch heels and runs to Yonghwa who had walked to the meeting room; waited for her on the door.

“This is the 100^th times that I told you Miss Park. I hate waiting.”

“Yes.”

Shinhye answers shortly without looking at Yonghwa’s face.

She knows how he looks like right now.

And she doesn’t want to see that face.

She then opens the door silently for him to enter and follows behind.

She places the copy of today’s presentation and stands on his right.

He hates it if she stands on his left.

She doesn’t understand why too.

Maybe some taboo for him.

Later, the room is filled with the head of each department.

Yoomi was there too, smiling at her before she took a seat.

Shinhye smiles her brightest and bows slightly to each person.

“We’ll proceed with this month schedules.”

Yonghwa starts and Shinhye passed him the remote.

Yonghwa took it like he always did; without even a slight thanks.

Shinhye doesn’t mind it anymore.

She somehow learns how to wear a stoic face at time like this.

The meeting went off smoothly with Yonghwa’s command that they have to double the sales digit.

Yonghwa stands up and straighten his suit before he walks out of the room.

And soon, everyone left too, except Yoomi.

“Miss Park, can you spend some time for me tonight?”

“Tonight? I’m afraid I can’t madam. I have an appointment.”

“Ahh really? It’s okay.”

“But why madam?”

“Just want to buy you a dinner.”

“On what occasion?”

“My daughter wants it. Tell me when you are free then Miss Park.”

“Oh, okay madam. I’ll do that. But I really need to go now.”

“You catch up very fast Miss Park.”

“Yeh, so that I won’t kicked out from here.”

Shinhye laughs.

“I’ll leave first.”

“Sure. Good luck.”

“Deh madam.”

                                                                                                ***

Shinhye was quick in making tea for Yonghwa on that one fine day but she is making a silly mistake again.

“I don’t use this kind of cup for my citron tea. It’s your 15^th day and still you can’t catch up?”

Shinhye scolds herself in her mind.

How can she make a mistake again?

“Just how many times already?”

She thought while biting her lower lips.

Shinhye straightens her back and look at Yonghwa furious face.

“I know you won’t like it but I have to say that I’m sorry.”

“Change the cup.”

Shinhye nods and brings out the cup while mumbling.

She makes another cup of citron tea and brings it to Yonghwa.

As she was about to place the cup on Yonghwa’s table, she accidentally touch Yonghwa’s hand and like an electricity buzz, she drops the cup and messes his table.

She can sigh in relief that his table is clean from paperworks on project files.

But then, her heart starts to race.

Shinhye widens her eyes when the tea flows and spill on his pants.

“Uh oh.”

“You are doing this on purpose don’t you?”

“I’m not director. It really is a mistake.”

“How am I supposed to meet my client with this mess?”

“I’ll get you a new outfit.”

Yonghwa glares at Shinhye before he furiously grabs some tissues and wipes his pant.

“I’m giving you 30 minutes.”

“Deh?”

“I don’t repeat my words.”

“Deh. I’ll be here in 30 minutes.”

Shinhye cleans up the cup and saucer before she runs out to the pantry.

“He is absurd. How can I manage to find something beautiful in 30 minutes?”

But Shinhye did grab her handbag in a flash and runs again to reach the company in 30 minutes time.

                                                                                                ***

Yonghwa looks at his reflection and he was satisfied.

He never uses bright color before and it weirdly looks great on him.

Yonghwa smiles.

(Is this the first time I wrote that he smiles? Kkk)

He went out of the room to where Shinhye was waited excitedly.

“You look great director. I know it right when I saw the suit.”

“It looks okay.”

“It’s perfect.”

Shinhye smiles and moves closer to have a better view.

“We have to go now.”

Yonghwa said in his usual tone.

“Deh director.”

Shinhye left the room and waited outside.

She is happy.

“Finally he is off that dull color. At least for today.”

She grins and follows Yonghwa when he walks out of his room.

                                                                                                ***

“Did you wait long Seunghyun ssi?”

“Not that long.”

Seunghyun glances to his watch.

“About 25 minutes.”

“Aww. I’m sorry. I was late in organizing my messy table.”

“It’s okay. Are you ready to go now?”

“Sure.”

“Let me help you with the door.”

“Aniyo. It’s okay.”

“Kenchana. I like doing this.”

Shinhye smiles and enjoy Seunghyun’s gentleman action.

She kinda likes it.

After struggling with the fussy prince, she indeed needs this kind of treatment.

Seunghyun runs to the driver side and hops in.

“Where are we having dinner?”

“My favorite steak house.”

“Are you celebrating anything today?”

“Nothing. I just want to treat you to dinner.”

“Is that so?”

Seunghyun nods.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

“Aniyo. I’m fine.”

Shinhye smiles sweetly.

Seunghyun is a warm man and she really enjoyed his company.

He talks sweetly and even his text messages are sweet.

And he has manners, the thing that Yonghwa is lacking.

 “Why did I compare Seunghyun ssi to the fussy prince?”

She thought and straightens her position.

“Is the place far from here?”

“We’ll be there in around 8 to 10 minutes.”

“Ahh.”

“Wae Shinhye ssi.”

“Aniyo. It’s nothing.”

Shinhye smiles.

“Are you tired?”

“No, not at all.”

She answers and plasters a smile.

“Gurae? Good then.”

Seunghyun glances at her and smiles before he focuses on the road.

“I have something that had been bothering me for a while.”

“What is it?”

“What is actually your relationship with oppa?”

“You are curious?”

Shinhye nods.

“Oppa won’t talk about it. Can you tell me instead?”

Seunghyun wasn’t giving any answer and he smiles instead.

                                                                                                ***

“Is that her boyfriend?”

Yonghwa thought when he saw Shinhye and Seunghyun.

He shrugs away the thought and boards his car.

“Drive me to the steak house.”

“Deh Director.”
