“I came here on happy occasion.”

Seunghyun said while he stares at Shinhye who was enjoying her steak.

“Chinca? Wae?”

“Nothing special. I just love it here.”

Shinhye smiles.

“What is the occasion today?”

“My birthday.”

Shinhye frown.

“Why didn’t you tell me? I can at least buy you a gift.”

Seunghyun chuckles.

“You can give one now.”

“Chinca? What is it?”

“Birthday hug.”

“Here?”

Seunghyun nods.

“We are friends right?”

Shinhye bites her lower lips.

“Okay.”

Shinhye scans around the restaurant.

All of the customers were in their own world.

She puts down her fork and went to Seunghyun sides.

She sat down and wraps her arm loosely around him.

Seunghyun hugs her back, making her blush profusely.

“Happy birthday.”

She stammers as she pulls away from him.

Seunghyun smiles.

“Thank you for the gift.”

Shinhye nods and went back to her seat.

“Are you planning on giving me another gift?”

“Yes, I’ll buy you one.”

Seunghyun chuckles.

“I’ll be waiting for it.”

He then took his cutlery and starts eating.

Shinhye smiles as she feels her heart beating faster.

She took a glance on Seunghyun who is calmly savoring his steak.

“He does look handsome.”

She smiles.

“Let me walk you to the room Director Jung.”

Yonghwa nods and follows his client secretary.

He looks around the cozy restaurant as he walks before he spots the familiar lady who was eating with a good looking guy.

He wrinkles his eyebrows when she suddenly went to the guy’s side and hugs him.

He curls his fists when a wave of blood rushing to his head.

“Director?”

Yonghwa turns to the secretary.

“Let’s go.”

He glances to the couple and his jaw clenched in reflex when he saw the guy hugging her and smiles.

“Just why of all places they need to dine here.”

He whispers to himself and walks to the private room.

                                                                                                ***

Seunghyun took a photo from under his pillow and smiles at it.

“I meet her again today. Today is my birthday right? Did you still remember it?”

He chuckles.

“She is pretty. Prettier than she used to. Do you think I should make another move?”

Seunghyun lies down on the bed, bringing the photo close to his heart.

“But Haejin, he seems like he will be a great obstacle. Ottoke?”

“Maybe I should not mind about him right? I feel her heart beat when she hugs me earlier.”

He smiles dreamily.

“She might like me.”

“She has to like me right? She is blushing cutely.”

Seunghyun took the photo to his lips and kisses it.

“I’ll try harder to make her mine.”

And he falls asleep with a big smile.

“I’ve told you yesterday about it, what is running in your mind that you can forget such an important matter?”

Shinhye feels she is shrinking.

This is for the first time that Yonghwa screaming at her since she starts working.

And it was because of her small but silly mistake.

“I’m sorry. I’ll do it right away.”

“Beautiful face is not important if you have no brain.”

“Director, you are being harsh with your words.”

“You are talking back to me?”

Shinhye bites her lower lips.

She can’t take it when people said she had no brain.

She is pretty intelligent.

She just forgets to print out the papers for Yonghwa’s new project.

She had done bigger mistake than this one but he did not scolds her like this.

“What are you doing standing there like a statue? You don’t know that talking back is prohibited?”

Shinhye stood up straight and stares up right to Yonghwa.

“I have a pretty lips and mouth, why don’t I use it?”

Yonghwa widens his eyes.

This is the first time she talks back aggressively.

Or did she always do that?

Or curse him under her breath?

Yonghwa put on his popular cold expression as he looks at her.

“Use your brain too then. Fix the mess and come back in 5 minutes.”

Shinhye glares at Yonghwa but nothing comes out of her pretty mouth.

She gather the files on Yonghwa’s table instead.

“Don’t curse me on your way out.”

“I was going to do it.”

Shinhye said with a straight face and bows to him before she walks out.

                                                                                ***

“Omma.”

Mrs. Jung raises her head.

“Wae Yoomi?”

“Are you busy?”

“Are you going to talk about personal?”

Yoomi nods.

“Wait for another 5 minutes. I have to finish reading this agreement today.”

“Okay.”

Yoomi sits and waited on the sofa.

She sank her body on the soft materials and closes her eyes.

Mrs. Jung finished her work and went to her.

“What is it?”

“Omma, I can’t discuss this at home since Soohyun is there.”

Yoomi sighs.

“I think I’m going to take full authority of Soohyun.”

“Wae? What happen now?”

“He did it again. He did not call me that he can’t pick Soohyun up. The teacher sends Soohyun here. Lucky that Miss Park found her at lobby. And yesterday, he left her when he took her to the dentist. Ottoke omma? I can’t feel at ease when Soohyun is under his care.”

“What is going on with Jaejoong? He is not an irresponsible guy.”

“It’s confusing me too but I won’t ask. He doesn’t want to have a proper conversation with me. Maybe he did hate me. He is the one who file the divorce.”

“Let me ask him?”

“Wouldn’t it be inappropriate omma?”

“Aniya. I think he will talk to me.”

“I’ll really fight for Soohyun care if he wasn’t giving a responsible answer.”

“Yeh. Go on to your room. I’m meeting my friend in a while.”

“Deh omma.”

                                                                                                ***

Shinhye stares angrily at her reflection on the mirror.

Yonghwa is being fussier than ever.

She can’t wear hair pin, she can’t let her hair down and always have to tie it up.

She can’t wear red, orange and even yellow dress anymore.

And it was ridiculous.

Why can’t she dress like she wants?

 “Do I need to dress up in that dull outfits like him?”

She thought furiously.

“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.
