Chapter 28

Crossroads

"Have you been thinking of me?"

 

A smile crept over Ji Hyun's face as she read the text message sent by Hyung Jun upon her
arrival back in Seoul. Several weeks after moving out of Hyung Jun's place and into her new
apartment, she had resumed work and hadn't seen him ever since.

 

"More like you're missing me…"

 

Looking out of the car window after sending her reply, she subconsciously let out a sigh as
memories of their time together began running in her mind again.

 

Flashback

"Noona! I missed you so much!"

"Hyung Jun ah you're hugging me too tight…"

 

---

 

"I want to go home"

"You're staying here. I'm not letting you leave my side"

"But I don't want to. That's kidnap…"

"Whatever. Just take it as a break, from work and everything else"

"Where are you going to?"

"Back to work. I'm working hard as promised"

 

---

 

"Guess what? We're going to Jeju next week Noona"

"I'm not going"

"Wae? Everyone else will be going, it's going to be fun"

"I should be back at work by next week"

"There won't be any assignments for at least a month, I requested for your schedule to be rearranged"

"Yah Kim Hyung Jun…"

"You need a break, just have a good rest"

End of Flashback

 

Her thoughts were interrupted by an alert from her mobile and she let out another sigh as
she read the reply from Hyung Jun.

 

"De, I'm glad you know. How are you going to make up for it? Are you free tomorrow?"

 

Ji Hyun's POV
Pabo… how can I not know?
Mianhae Hyung Jun ah, it's best we don't meet for now…
Because it's never going to be possible between us…

 

The reason she lived for, was the same reason that kept her running away.
Those weeks she spent with him had reignited the feelings she kept away for years,
which was why she was insistent on leaving again. 

It was almost impossible not to like someone who treated her as the world and saw only her. 
But their relationship will never be approved. That was part of the agreement she had with
his dad, after he found out about Hyung Jun signing her on as a model and repaying her
mum's gambling debts.

 

"No, I have some matters to attend to before flying off again"

 

---

 

"Yah… you'll be dead if Young Saeng hyung finds you dozing off like this"

 

Kyu Jong teased Hara who was almost falling asleep in front of the monitor, prompting
her to sit up immediately and then frown when she caught sight of him giggling.

 

"He doesn't look like he's coming back from the meeting any time soon. Lunch?"

"De..."

 

He found Hara spacing off again when he returned to their seat at the cafe with lunch and
ruffled her hair as he sat down.

 

"Thinking of Hyun Joong or Young Saeng hyung?"

"Neither. I just can't wait to end work"

"So, have you made you decision between the both of them?"

"Jungmin oppa's already getting married. When are you marrying my sister?"

"I was going to ask for your permission"

"Jinjja?!"

 

After laughing at how Hara cleverly switched the topic and her surprised reaction at his reply,
Kyu Jong turned serious and nodded. He had been thinking about it for a while and decided
to ask her opinion before doing so.

 

"Do you think she'll agree?"

"Why not?"

"I don't know… how do you think I should propose to her?"

"I think I need to start charging consultation fees… first it was Jungmin oppa…"

 

A plan came up in his mind instantly when he caught sight of Young Saeng making his way
into the cafe that very moment.

 

"Can I substitute the fees with something else?"

"Something else like?"

"Hyung!"

"…"

 

Hara turned after seeing Kyu Jong wave and immediately returned to eating her food
after seeing Young Saeng walk towards their table.

 

"Have you had lunch?"

"Aniyo"

"There's an empty seat"

"Kwenchana, you can continue. I'm just going to grab a sandwich and return to the office"

 

Kyu Jong's POV
This guy… what is he up to these days?

 

Hara's POV
I knew this is going to happen…

 

"Hara ah, what happened between the both of you?"

"We… had a fight after he fired Hyo Young unnie. He hasn't been talking to me since then…"

 

---

 

"Are you busy right now?"

 

Ignoring the voice calling out to him, Young Saeng continued with his work until the person
walked up and sat herself on his desk.

 

"What do you want Min Ah?"

 

He asked the model he had just finished a photo shoot with hostilely, one of those girls who
persistently try to get close with him after every project.

 

"It has been a while, I missed you Oppa"

"Are we even close to begin with?"

"Have you forgotten that night?"

"How many years ago was that? It won't do you any good to keep bringing up the past"

 

Young Saeng was getting irritated as the girl moved forward and attempted to remove his tie
when he noticed the door of his office close suddenly.

 

"Please get out before I call for security"

 

He motioned for Min Ah to leave after opening the door and was about to return to the room after
she left when he noticed an envelope lying on the floor. In it was a handmade card which
Young Saeng read immediately with a sense of uneasiness building up within him.

 

Dear Hamster, 

About the other day, I was just worried Unnie will have a hard time finding another job.
I should have spared a thought for your feelings instead.

Mianhae oppa. I'll be more careful in future and not to get myself into more trouble.

- Hara

PS: Am I forgiven? I can't help it if you're gonna be a petty hamster :P

 

Young Saeng's POV
What did she hear? Did she see…

 

"Hara…"
