Last Chapters Recap:

Park Shin Hye was supposed to be the Director of Femme, a falling woman magazine, she declined the position but was forced to disguise herself into the company because her grandfather cut off all financial support. She met her supposedly secretary Jung Yong Hwa: a chatterbox who claim to be a woman whisperer, he hung out with Jung Il Woo the assistant manager of HR, Kang Min Hyuk a technology enthusiast that lead the payroll team and Yoo Seung Ho the company's late comer but superstar in the night entertainment circle. One of the leader in Femme was Min Hyo Rin, who was cold at the beginning to Shin Hye but warmed up after she found out that Shin Hye did a good job. But she misunderstood Shin Hye's relationship with her cousin Park Shi Hoo - the ambitious Creative Director - and became ruthless again toward Shin Hye. Jung Il Woo challenged Jung Yong Hwa to take Park In Ha - Shin Hye's alter ego - to company annual anniversary party and change the way she looks. In his effort to get to know In Ha, they were stranded in a deserted warehouse and witnessed some illegal activity and ended up running away from thugs and vicious beast.

​---o0o---

Yong Hwa became more jittery as the dog had no sign of relenting. If any, it was more agitated than before. The police sirene was now so close and consistent, he could hear noises of people running in disperse. "They must be chasing down the people in the warehouse." he thought. He was glad and nervous at the same time, glad that they would be save in a few minutes but worried about the big dog that could attack at any moment.

Then he saw them, two cops running from the direction of the warehouse to caught the two unconcious thugs. Just when he thought they were save, he saw the dog jolted by the intruder and started to charge towards In Ha. He widened his eyes in terror.

"In Ha yaa!!!!" He cried as the scene of the girl attacked by the giant dog laid out in front of him in what feels like a slow motion.

Shin Hye struggled with the husky. Yong Hwa froze in terror, afraid of witnessing the dreaded scene. He immediately tried to climb back but failed several times because his body was shaking so much.

When he finally succeeded, he saw the giant dog had run back to the warehouse taking Shin Hye's pink sweater with him. Yong Hwa's heart stopped for a second when she saw Shin Hye collapsed slowly into a crouch. He held his breath thinking of the worst.

Yong Hwa ran like crazy towards her and immediately examined her whole body. "In Ha-shi! In Ha-shi! Park In Ha!!" he screamed while holding her face with his both hands.

He saw her face was as white as the snow, her whole body was shaking, her breath was uneven, she had empty stare but a teardrop fell from her right eye. Yong Hwa checked her arms and was relieved that aside of minor wound, they were save and sound.

"You're okay! You're okay! Thank God!" he hugged her tightly in the hope to stop her from shaking. Shin Hye let herself cried on his shoulder.

---o0o---

"Yes, it was an illegal dog fight, Sir." A police officer told Yong Hwa, "Actually we're already observing this area, so when we got the report from your friend we immediately come." Yong Hwa was not really paying attention to the officer. He was eyeing Shin Hye who was still being treated by the paramedic.

Yong Hwa saw the thugs were being handcuffed and brought to police car. He did not want them to see In Ha, so he walked towards her so he could stood in front of her to shield her from the thug's sight. The officer unconsciously follow suit. Yong Hwa saw one of the thugs looked at them with evil eyes but did not backed down, they had a moment of stare-off before he was put inside the police car.

"We have to thank you both, really. If not because of you, we wouldn't have captured them. But we have to take the sweater as our evidence." he said.

Yong Hwa bit his lower lip to hold it from smiling, "I bet, she'll make a huge deal out of it." He looked at Shin Hye who were talking friendly with the male paramedic, somehow that made him turn sour.

"Your friend is very brave. Thank you for your testimony. Take care of her. We'll give you a lift whenever you're ready." the officer ended his interrogation. 

Yong Hwa shook the officer's hand and walked slowly towards Shin Hye. The paramedic saw him and immediately finished up. They greeted each other silently with a nod, and a bit of possesive stare from Yong Hwa. He then went straight to her and squatted in front of her.

She was still pale, her ponytail was messy and she had dry tears on her cheek, she was still holding her hands tightly. He tugged a strand of hair to the back of her ear to take a good look at her.

"Are you okay?" he asked softly. Shin Hye sniffed and nodded. "Are you ready to go back? The police are going to give us a lift." She nodded again eagerly. Yong Hwa smiled and squeezed her hand. "You know, I've always wanted to ride in a police car. Thanks to you my dream come true today." he added. Shin Hye let out a weak chuckle. "Atta, girl!" he thought, relieved that she was still able to smile.

They arrived at their building and got out of the car. The security guards had a curious look when they saw that two of their employees were being driven by the cops. Shin Hye followed Yong Hwa into the lobby but stopped in the middle. Yong Hwa looked at her curiously.

"What's wrong? Do you feel any pain?" he asked

Shin Hye shook her head, "You go first, I have to go to the rest room." she walked away without hearing his response. Yong Hwa heaved a sigh, looking at her in concern.

Shin Hye looked at her reflection on the large mirror, she realized right now how awful she looked. Her previously tight ponytail was now loosened and a few strands of hair fell down covering her pale face and her eyes were red and puffy. She looked at her arms, there were noticeable bruises all over it.  She took a deep breath and the water. She washed her hands and her face, and grimaced in pain when the water reached her arms.

Once she dried her face, she pulled the hair band and tight another ponytail. She looked again on the mirror and sighed, "It would have been better if I still have a sweater. At least people won't notice it too much." She thought.

She took another deep breath and practiced smiling, she did not want anyone to know about what happen just now. Once she thought she was ready, she stepped out of the restroom.

"O! I'm still at the lobby... but I'll go straight to the creative floor." Yong Hwa said to his phone, "I'll see you there." He hung up once he saw Shin Hye walked out from the rest room all cleaned up. "Ya! Did you take a bath or something? What took you so long?" He shouted.

Shin Hye jolted in surprise, "What are you doing here? I told you to go on without me..." she said weakly.

"How do you expect me to leave someone in a state of shock like you, alone?" He said, "Come on, let's go. I'll take you to Printing and then straight home." He instructed.

"No. I still have work to do. And please, don't make a big deal out of this... I don't want people to find out." She said while walking towards the elevator.

"What! This is a huge deal, did you lose your mind with that sweater? You almost got killed." Yong Hwa was turning into a nagging granny.

"And can you please stop talking? I'm so exhausted... It has been a long day for me." Shin Hye said. She now felt like she was about to pass out.

"Ya! I was there with you, you know!" The elevator opened and they both got in. "This wouldn't have happened if you listened to me and did not open that gate." he could be super annoying sometimes.

"Arasso... arasso! It's all my fault." Shin Hye leaned onto the wall, powerless.

Yong Hwa looked at her and suddenly missed the energetic In Ha who always yelled at him. He was reminded of the weak girl that was being bullied in the photoshoot and he did not like it one bit, he wanted In Ha to get her energy back.

"Andwe-Getta!" He exclaimed, he pulled her hair band and ruffled her hair.

Shin Hye tossed her head to the back to avoid his attack, "What are you doing!?" she cried. "I couldn't go back to the office like this, people would..."

"Notice??!" Yong Hwa cut her off, he held her head with both hands to stop her from struggling and forced her to look at him. "That's where you're wrong! People need to know about this. They made a mistake and almost got you killed. They need to learn to do their job properly before sending someone off like this, and not just the one who make mistake today, anybody in this company needs to learn this lesson. That a little bit of mistake could cause harm, so they need to get their heads straight when they do their job."

Yong Hwa had a firm stare on him, which surprised Shin Hye; and as much as she hated to admit it, everything he said was true. They stared at each other for a moment before Shin Hye finally relented. When Yong Hwa felt that she would cooperate, he let go of her face and held her hand instead. "You don't have to say anything, just follow my lead!" the elevator opened just after he said that.

Min Hyuk was pacing back and forth on the creative floor just in front of the elevator, once he heard the ding sound of it; he turned around expecting for his hyung to come out. He was half relieved half shocked when he saw the state that Yong Hwa was in. He was drenched in sweat, his knuckles were full of bruises, his suit had a ripped on it and he was holding hand with a trainee that was in worst condition than him.

"Hyung!! What happened!?" he exclaimed.

Yong Hwa put his left hand on Min Hyuk's nape, tapped it a few times. "O! Min Hyuk-a! Gomawo! You saved our lives." he said with a straight face.

Yong Hwa marched directly to the printing department pulling Shin Hye and followed by Min Hyuk. A few of the employees on that floor were starting to notice them, some started to whisper to each other. Shin Hye looked down hoping that they would not recognize her with hair covering her face. 

They arrived at the printing department, but everybody was too busy to notice them. Yong Hwa went to the big bad table and swept away all the things that was on that table. The loud bang and clang attracted the attention of Printing department, and most department on that floor actually. They looked at him, frowned at first but they were shocked to see Shin Hye in that condition. Song Ji Hyo, the girl who worked closely with Shin Hye gasped.

"Who's the moron who gave her the assignment to go to the factory?!" Yong Hwa shouted, they all looked at him horrified.

"I... I did!" Lee Kwang Soo emerged from behind, raising his hand.

"Ya! Bichoso!!! Did you check the address before you gave it to her?" Yong Hwa asked, Kwang Soo shook his head. "Where did you get that address?" The people looked at Yong Hwa and Kwang Soo alternately like they were in a tennis match.

"I got it from the internet." He said weakly, although he still did not understand what was really happening but he could sense that something bad had happened.

"Did you intend to kill her when you send her to a stranded warehouse where an illegal dog fight was held???!!" he raised his voice even more, even Shin Hye was surprised. Yong Hwa heard small gasps all over the room.

Lee Kwang Soo widened his eyes, he felt his heart just dropped to his stomach. "Mwo? Cheongmallyo? In Ha-shi?" he called but did not have the courage to approached her. Instead, Ji Hyo went over and took a look at her. She hugged Shin Hye in relieve when she saw no serious wound.

"What kind of ignorant are you to send a girl alone into that kind of place?" Yong Hwa pointed his finger to Kwang Soo. "You guys were supposed to be a team!!" Yong Hwa saw team leader Kwon came out from his office.

Lee Kwang Soo hung his head, "Deh, it's my fault, Secretary Jung. In Ha-shi, I'm so sorry." He said, he looked like he was about to cry.

"Don't let me see this kind of thing happened again!" His voice was showing so much authority, "Team Leader Kwon, I believe she deserves a day off." he looked at the leader.

Shin Hye was surprised by his request, "Aniyo! I'm alright..." Yong Hwa instinctively looked at her and hissed. She surprisingly backed down

"Aniyo, In Ha-shi, Secretary Jung is right. Take the rest of the day and tomorrow off. We'll see you again Monday. Ji Hyo-shi, please help to get In Ha's belongings." Team Leader Kwon said, he smiled warmly to In Ha. Ji Hyo immediately ran to In Ha's desk, in the matter of minutes she was back with a bag and gave it to In Ha.

Yong Hwa took the bag instead, "Thank you Team Leader Kwon, you were always my favorite team leader." he said. He bowed to the team leader and immediately left the room clutching Shin Hye's hand and bag.

He took her to one of the lounge slash pantry that usually was used for informal discussion,  put her bag onto a sofa and made for a cabinet to take out a box with red cross sign on it. He sat on the sofa, put the box on the coffee table in front of it then looked at Shin Hye expectantly. Shin Hye raised her eyebrows, not understanding his intention.

"Treat my wound." He demanded

"Mwo?" Shin Hye frowned

Yong Hwa held out his wounded knuckle, "Treat my wound! You got me into this state!" Shin Hye sulked, she did feel guilty but she did not want people in the office to see her tending to the Director secretary's body part. "Yaa! You are not one of those girl who shamelessly without gratitude, are you? It's the least you could do since I save your live and got you a day off!" Yong Hwa really knew how to push one's button. 

Shin Hye looked around fidgeting at the thought that people might see them. Yong Hwa threw a mental air punch when she reluctantly sat on the coffee table in front of him, looked at him with a defeated stare, took a deep breath and opened the first aid kit. He tried hard not to smile victoriously. Shin Hye took a cotton bud and put a bit of oinment to it. She took his right hand, the one that had more wound and gently dabbed the cotton buds onto it. Yong Hwa felt a slight of ticklish inside his stomach. He observed her face intently, biting his lower lip to prevent him from smiling giddily. 

"Gomawo!" Shin Hye said suddenly. Yong Hwa was taken aback by her sudden voice. "Thank you for saving my life, I would've been dead without you there." She looked at him briefly, immediately looked down again due to embarrassment. Yong Hwa could no longer hold his smile.

"I was cool, wasn't I? Fighting those two giant alone?" His ego needed a feeding.

Shin Hye pout-glanced at the cocky male, "Tssk! Yes, you were cool! I didn't expect you to be that good at fighting." 

Yong Hwa surprised with the sudden praise, he felt that ticklish feeling again. He cleared his throat to cover his nervousness, "Of course!!" He exclaimed, two octaves higher than he intended, "I have a mom, three older sister and one younger sister. Being good at fighting is a must, how else would I be able to protect them?" He said matter-of-factly.

Shin Hye looked at his eyes and let out a soft chuckle.

"Damn! Now she's back to being cute again!" Yong Hwa thought. "But you're not too bad yourself, Park In Ha-shi! You saved me from the giant and fight a big bad wolf all by yourself!" he sincerely praised her.

Shin Hye smiled, she was now tending to his left hand. "Aniya! It's the adrenaline doing."

"Whatever it is! You were awesome! How did you know how to fight a dog like that?" Yong Hwa looked at her in amusement.

"When a dog attack, basically it just wanted some part of you. So if you wear something loose, you can take it off and let it bite and take it. So it feels that it already have a part of you. Something like that!" Shin Hye felt that she was talking gibberish. "I need a sleep..." she thought.

"Aaah! I'm not really fond of animals, especially the attacking ones" Yong Hwa had a bit of an enlightenment, "And you learn this from?" he asked curiously.

Shin Hye glanced sideways, "From a dog breeder that I visited near Amsterdam..?" she thought, "I... am a fan of Caesar Millian?" she said out loud, hoping that that was a sufficient answer to satisfied his curiosity. She was now meticulously checking the other part of his arms, she found wound on his elbow.

"So you intentionally took out your arm from it sleeves and provoked it. When it attacked you took it off completely?" Yong Hwa was amazed that she could think something like that in such a critical moment.

Shin Hye nodded, but suddenly whimpered.

Yong Hwa looked at her, who was putting a band aid on his elbow. "She really does have a flawless skin." He thought, but he shook his head almost immediately. "Snap out of it, Jung Yong Hwa!" he scolded himself. 

"What's wrong?" he asked, "Aaa! Are you remembering that tacky sweater of yours?" He wanted to a little bit. "Yah! Now I know why that ugly sweater meant a lot to you, it even saves your life... Aaaarrgh!!" He cried due to sudden pain he felt on his elbow.

Shin Hye looked at him in murderous stare, she pushed his band-aided wound so hard. "Mock that sweater again, and I swear I'll make this wound worse!!" She threatened.

"Arasso! Arasso!" Yong Hwa grimaced in fear, "You really are something, Park In Ha!" He said in disbelief, they both laughed the first real laugh in so many hours.

It felt good to be able to laugh after all the suspense that they had experienced. And as they were practically in their own world, the left out Kang Min Hyuk smiled knowingly but when he seemed to remember something, his face turned into worry. He turned around to go back to his office, but accidentally made eye contact with Creative Director Park who was standing a few meters back. They exchanged bows before he made for the elevator.

The elevator door opened and Jung Il Woo ran out from it with worried face. He saw Kang Min Hyuk walked towards him. "Min Hyuk-a! I just heard! Where is Yong Hwa? How is he?" he asked worried.

"It's okay, Hyung! He's fine... he is well taken care off." He smiled teasingly.

"Mwo? By whom?" Il Woo asked.

"Park In Ha-shi..." Min Hyuk whispered. Il Woo gaped giddily and instantly intended to take a peek, but Min Hyuk was quick to grab his arm and dragged him back to the elevator.

"Min Hyuk-a! Min Hyuk-a! Just 1 minute... O!?" He begged, he wondered how the skinny kid could be that strong. "Arasso! Arasso... tell me what they're doing?" Now he chased his dongsaeng around like a happy little puppy. Min Hyuk wagged his hand to shoo him to no success, Il Woo pestered him all the way to Finance.

---o0o---

Shin Hye woke up the next morning feeling like she was just being beaten up, well technically she was. She stretched her arms so wide but grimaced in pain afterwards. Aside from the bruises, she was feeling fresh after almost 12 hours of sleep. Yong Hwa took her home last night and she went straight to bed after a hot shower. Now her stomach was protesting the absence of nutrition.

She got up and went to the kitchen to fix some breakfast, she was craving for abalone porridge but since the only cooking utensil she had was the pan from Son Ye Jin, she settled with a sunny side up and rice. She sat on the floor, staring at empty walls and ate her breakfast.

"Hmmpph! I really need to fill out this apartment soon." She looked around, "Should I just do it today?" She contemplated, "Aniya! I need to find a truck first to transport the furniture that I'm going to buy." She put a mouthful of the egg.

She groaned when she remembered that she had a day off, with empty apartment like the one she had, it would be so boring to stay at home. She pondered hard, and eventually had an idea of what she would like to do. She her laptop to search about something and nodded in excitement when she found what she was looking for. She grabbed her towel, took a quick bath and prepared her bag. In no time she was already running down the iron stairs.

She halted abruptly when she saw Yong Hwa waved at her from behind the wheel of a grey Santa Fe. "In Ha-ya!" He called cheerfully.

Shin Hye walked towards the SUV, "What are you doing here?" she asked curiously.

Yong Hwa smiled mischievously, "I asked for a day off too! Where are you going? Hop in!" 

Shin Hye scoffed to the ridiculousness, "Why should I?"

"I'll take you to wherever..." he said, "Take me with you, is more precise." He thought, hoping that Shin Hye would allow him. Shin Hye rolled her eyes and walked straight along the narrow alley. Yong Hwa followed her with the car. "Oh come on!! I don't have anything to do at home!"

"Then why asked for a day off?" She shouted.

Yong Hwa thought for a moment, "You should do this to show your gratitude to your savior!" he tried another strategy. Shin Hye stopped, he silently cheered.

She walked towards him, "I treated your wound yesterday, you said it's enough to say thank you."

"No! I said 'it's the least you could do'. Of course you would do it if you can do more than the least, right?" He was such a word manipulator. Shin Hye pouted and was ready to walk away. "Come on! You got a free ride and a company... are you really an anti-socialist?" he could be so persuasive at time.

Shin Hye grumpily walked to his door again, thought for a moment than smile mischievously. "You don't like animals, do you?" she asked, Yong Hwa shook his head timidly. She smiled slyly and hopped into the grey SUV.

---o0o---

Yong Hwa gaped at the sight of the giant creature in front of him. In Ha was already on the back of it, its hair. She looked graceful and comfortable riding it as if she was a pro. 

"You seriously want me to ride that thing?" Yong Hwa asked, he started to regret pestering the supposedly timid trainee. "I'm not really an outdoor kind of person!"

They were in the middle of a field in a horse riding club, Shin Hye found it through the internet and made a reservation for a horseback riding session. The place had a barn where they kept the horses, a field where the horses exercise and a riding path that went through a forest leading up to a meadow. The place was especially beautiful because it was surrounded by hills that slowly turn into orange as the sign of autumn.

Shin Hye smiled mischievously, "You're the one who wanted to tag along... You can wait in the barn if you want to." she said, "Ah! Yours is here, ottoke? Do want to come or not?" she pointed.

Yong hwa turned at the direction that she pointed and gaped even bigger, "How come you get a gallant horse while I get the baby?" he protested.

Shin Hye laughed cheerfully. He liked her laugh. "That's not a baby, it's a pony! You said you were scared of animals and you're a beginner. That way, it's not too dangerous if you fall down." she teased, his horrified look was amusing. "Look! You don't have to come... I'll just be gone for two hours to encircle the forest. Just wait in the barn and feed the horse or something. Kan-da!" She stomped his feet to make her white horse set off.

"Wait! Wait! I'm coming..." Yong Hwa cried, he did not tag along just to look at horses. He clumsily climbed on top of the smaller horse with the help of the horse keeper. He looked so awkward, he made the horse keeper suppressed his smile. Shin Hye tried hard not to laugh. 

Once he was settled on the saddle, the horse keeper gave him some guidance and instruction how to ride it. He gave the bridle to Shin Hye as she was experienced enough to take the lead. "Okay, once you get the hang of it, you can hold your own bridle. Don't be scared, it can feel fear. The more you're jittery the nervous they are." She said.

She slowly stomped her feet again, her horse started to walk followed by Yong Hwa's pony. They rode the horse slowly at first, but since Yong Hwa was a fast learner he quickly got more comfortable and able to rode by himself. By the next hour they were able to stroll side by side and enjoy the beautiful view that surrounded the farm. She was able to breath again, the fresh air and the autumn scenery took all the stress due to the incident the day before.

She stopped in the middle of the stroll and took a look at Yong Hwa, he jerked by the sudden halt. "Ya! Don't do that, you're scaring my pony!" He scolded her, "What's wrong?"

"What's your level need for speed?" She challenged, Yong Hwa frowned. "I race you till that tree over there!"

Yong Hwa was doubtful but he did not want to waste a chance. "Arasso! If I got there within 5 minutes after you, I get to request something from you." he squinted his eyes slyly.

"1 minute!" she negotiated.

"three.." Yong Hwa was quick to answer.

"Deal!" without any notice, Shin Hye charged her horse toward the finish line.

"You're a cheater!!!" Yong Hwa exclaimed while rushing his short-legged horse to catch up to her.

Shin Hye felt so free, the cool breeze on her face was making her heart lighter. She cheered joyfully, glanced back once in awhile to make sure of his safety. She saw Yong Hwa bent his body to make his horse ran faster, he looked like a professional jockey on a pony. What a sight! But he too was enjoying himself, crackling due to the excitement of the race. Shin Hye arrived at the finish line, feeling like on top of the world. Yong Hwa followed suit within a few minutes and ended up winning the bet. They were still laughing hard for awhile before Yong Hwa claimed his prize.

"What is it?" Shin Hye glanced at him suspiciously.

"Take me with you on your next activity." He requested.

Shin Hye thought for awhile then smiled mischievously. "You said you're not an outdoor kind of man, didn't you?", it unnerved him every time she made that look.

The next day Yong Hwa picked her up on Il Woo's Santa Fe, two days were decreased out of the whole week he promised. Shin Hye made him promise not to ask where they were going and slyly put the GPS screen against him. She put the location address into the GPS and Yong Hwa could only follow the direction through the audio sound.

They drove for about one hour until they reached the city Cheonan, Yong Hwa was getting nervous as they were surrounded by hills and the road was getting narrow. He had been asking about their destinations five times since they got out from the highway.

"So, whose car is this?" Shin Hye asked to distract his attention from their destination.

Yong hwa looked at her briefly, "It doesn't occur to you that this car is mine, does it?" 

Shin Hye made a duck face and shook her head, "Nope! Kimbab?" she offered the famous Ye Jin's kimbab.

Yong Hwa pouted but lifted his right hand to ask for the kimbab, Shin Hye gave him one and he put it in his mouth. He widened his eyes, shocked by the delicious taste of the kimbab, "Yeah! Like it would never occur to me that this Kimbab is yours too." he said teasingly.

Shin Hye squinted her eyes angry, "You are so petty! No more kimbab for you." She put the cover back but Yong Hwa was quick to get another one after struggling a bit. "Ya! Eyes on the road!" Shin Hye exclaimed.

"Arasso, give me one more! I'm hungry, we set off too early I didn't get any breakfast!", she begrudgingly gave him another piece. "This is Il Woo's, you know him right? He's the HR assistant manager." he turned the wheel to the right as instructed by the GPS lady. "He owe me a week of this car because he lost a bet to me."

"What kind of bet?" Shin Hye was looking at the cute bumper sticker of the car in front of them.

"Picking up girls in the club within 10 minutes and make her believe that I'd go home with her" Yong Hwa smiled mischievously. "Oookaaay! Why am I telling her this?!" he thought, he wasn't sure it was him talking.

Shin Hye looked at him in disgust, "So you're one of those guys who claimed to be a pick up artist but never really in a relationship, aren't you?" she saw right through him.

"Nah! Relationships are a hassle, I have a lot of things in my mind right now. Relationship rank last in my priority list." Yong Hwa said matter-of-factly.

Shin Hye scoffed, "I'll be the first to remind you that, when you meet a girl that you fell heavily in love with." Yong Hwa chuckled at her remark. "O! I think we're here. Let's park and walked to get there." Shin Hye exclaimed.

As soon as Yong Hwa parked the car, she jumped out of it, took the bag from the back seat and walked towards an opening. Yong Hwa locked the car and followed her direction. He gaped once he saw where they were.

He was standing at the side of a large lake that was surrounded by hilly park. There was a jetty where a speedboat was anchored and a bungalow that seemed to be the place to rent water sport equipment. He saw a speedboat went around pulling a twenty-something male for a round of water ski, he shivered by the thought of cold water splashed onto his body.

Yong Hwa looked around for any sign of In Ha but she was nowhere to be found so he went to the jetty to look around and was taken aback with the beauty of the hills, which had a mix of yellow, orange and green color due to the changing season. The sky was clear blue, but the temperature was quite chilly; it would have been a perfect day for a water sport if he were actually an outdoor type of person, which sadly he was not. 

"So! Do you regret coming with me?" Said a familiar crisp voice from behind his back. He turned around and saw In Ha brought water sport gears for both of them.

"Are you seriously going to wakeboard in this weather? With all that wound on your body?" he asked skeptically.

"Why not, the day is perfect for wakeboarding and the wound is almost healed. Here! Gear up!" She threw a life vest to him, "Or not! Up to you!" she left him to change.

Yong Hwa took a deep breath and changed anyway, luckily In Ha told him the night before about what he should bring, but he never thought that water sport would be in her mind when she told him to bring swimming gear. A hot spring and bikini were on his erted mind instead of speedboat and life vest.

He quickly changed and wait for her on the jetty, he shivered several times when the wind blew a bit hard; he cursed each time, already regretted that he wanted to tag along to her activity. Il Woo's warm apartment in saturday afternoon, watching the baseball game would be a better option.

"You'll change your mind once you go for a round!" He heard her voice coming from his back, he turned around and stunned to see her.

She wore a pink swim wear, a black swim vest and short, she tied her hair in a high pony tail and she took off her glasses. She did not wear any make up but she looked stunningly beautiful. The simple and sporty side of her took his breath away. Yong Hwa tilted his head to the right when he had flashes of images that made her look very familiar, like he saw or met her before. He frowned trying to remember why she looked so familiar and where he could possible had seen her.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" she asked curiously.

Yong Hwa jerked, "You don't wear your glasses?" he asked instinctively, he had a feeling that that was what made her different.

Shin Hye widened her eyes, she just remembered her clumsiness. "Oh No! Hopefully he doesn't recognize me." she thought. "Yeah! It's impossible to wakeboard with glasses, isn't it?" she quickly moved to the speedboat to get out of his line of sight. "So are you coming?" she asked.

"Yeaah! Why not!?" he said reluctantly. "I'll go first..." he said.

"Really? You know how to wakeboard?" she asked curiously.

"Meh! How hard would it be?" he said, Shin Hye laughed at his cockyness.

However, true to his word, he was actually good at it. Although he stumbled on the first round, he went smoothly on the second one and although he hated the cold at first but he ended up enjoying it. The breeze and the fresh water that splashed on his face really lifted his mood, he felt like he was flying during the whole round. Shin Hye cheered for him when he got back to the jetty, a sense of pride washed over him.

"I thought you're not an outdoor person, Jung Yong Hwa-shi. But you're good!! I think you're better than me!" She exclaimed, offering her hand for a high five.

He smiled proudly by the praises and reach for the high five. "I go skiing every winter, I guess it's pretty much the same." He said trying to sound humble. "Now let's see how you go, Miss Wakeboarder!" He said.

Shin Hye giggled, the butterflies inside his stomach came back. "Now I'm afraid that I'll embarrassed myself." She said while gearing up.

Yong Hwa took out his DSLR, the one that was supposed to be hers, and call out to her, "In Ha-ya!" she turned around and gave the signature V sign as a pose. He took a picture and satisfied with the result. "Good luck out there!"

and he took another one during her round.
