The Last Time

Description

Book One from Love Lessons series.

Foreword

Hello there, my name is Hye Rin. Moon Hye Rin. Right now I work at a Multi National Company, SG Corporation. Yeah, when people knew where I worked they're always said wow. I didn't work at the head office in Seoul but in Busan branch as for my family lived there and I also grew up and finished my degree also in Busan.

You might wonder why I chose to work in Busan instead of Seoul. It's not because I don't want to but I'm already feel comfortable here as this is my homeland. I know that Seoul can offer you many things that Busan can't but that charm didn't work on me. I feel so secured here.

Okay, so now we're gonna talk about my office and the peoples inside it. I can say that my office building were located at the center of the city and had a great architectural design if you compare with other buildings in the area. The building itself consists of twenty floors. SG Corporation only used ten floors for its operation and the rest were rented by other tenants. On the outside, the building was fully covered by glass on its four sides. The most amazing thing is that this building using the Miconic system for its elevator. Unlike the usual elevator which you press the floor button, this system lets you navigate your destination floor from the outside the elevator, just key in your floor then the system will show you which elevator you should take. High tech, isn't it? If you're named SG Corporation, of course you don't want just an ordinary building design, right? You can tell that I'm proud to be able to work at this company.

Now, let's talk about the peoples inside it. Actually I'm gonna only mentioned two people whom I cherish most. First in a row, Yang Seung Ho, which act as my boss and my best friend (of course after working hours) He's such a brilliant and nice person. I was shocked with his dark circle under his eyes when I first saw him on my first day working. I think he's a workaholic. I never tired of advising him to get more life outside office and escape from that never ending crazy works.

We're almost like BFF since long time ago although I just started working at this company since 3 years ago. Wondering why I can get so close to my boss? Well, actually he's only 2 years older than me. Yup, I'm a little bit late for starting a career but I'm a fast learner. That's why I can reach a supervisor position only in a short period.

Romance? I know you all curious about this but are you kidding me? There's no such thing between us and it has been confirmed by both of us. We enjoyed our relationship like this and we're not even our each other's type. Besides, Seung Ho already had this 'undisclosed' relationship with Park Sae Na, manager from accounting department. I'll tell you about this woman next time. Now back to me. Maybe you all think that my relationship with Seung Ho is impossible without romance but that's the truth. I myself still can't believe up till now that I can have this loveless relationship with Seung Ho.

"Yaaaa.....Moon Hye Rin, are you not going to call it a day?" A girl came approach my desk.

That's my other BFF and this time it's a girl. Let me introduce you to Han Ga In, my BFF since university. We shared the same hobby and the most important thing, the same type of man. We both loves Dong Bang Shin Ki and MBLAQ but thank God we likes different people so we'll never fight.  We could discuss these two idol groups like hours and never get tired. She prefers DBSK and I prefer MBLAQ. You can say that we're just like teen girls groupie with unbalance hormone. She even bought the DBSK's DVD concert for $600, what a crazy girl.

She worked on the other department. I'm on the marketing department while she's on sales. We're both at the same position as supervisor but she has more experienced in this company since she graduated one year earlier than me. I didn't mean to flaunt this but we’re both an excellent student in our class and we're always competing at each other in almost every subject. She's forever my 'dearest enemy' I've ever had. Thank God I don’t have to compete again with her in this company.

"Let me just finished this one and then we can go, ok?" I said to her with begging face.

"Oh come on. Can't the task wait until tomorrow to be done? It does not gonna runaway"

"I know, but you also know that I'll never postpone my task if I can finish it on the same day." I still working in front of my computer while talk to Ga In.

"But we have a movie to catch on at the cinema at seven. Don't tell me you forgot!" Ga In looks at me suspiciously.

"What? Is it today? Damn. Totally forgot." I cursed and immediately save all the open files in my computer. Ga In helped me organized the documents in my desk.

"I knew it. You still that short-term memory kind of girl up till now." Ga In laughed at me.

"Yaaaa....Han Ga In, you know I can't help it. I wish I was the 'long-term memory' kind of girl but what can I do?" I pouted to her.

"Okay...okay....I'll stop. Come on, we still have to catch the bus." She dragged me along with full speed that I almost stumble at the dust bin.

"Ga In ah, can we just walk at normal speed? You make me almost fall." She lowers her speed but still walked like crazy.

"Miss Hye Rin, we’re already waste our precious thirty minutes to walk to the cinema because of that never ending tasks of yours and we can't waste more minutes by walking like supermodel on the catwalk okay?" Ga In still walks with her marvelous speed while talking to me.

"Ga In ah, waits for me....." I've to run to catch her step. This girl can sometimes makes me crazy but I love her craziness.

Finally we arrived at the bus stop and lucky for us, the bus we're waiting for is coming not long after we arrived. We hop on and since this is workday, the bus is full. We have to stand up and if we're lucky enough, we’ll get a seat. But I guess this time I won't get any seat. While the bus taking us off, we're chatting about what happened during the day in our department.

"Do you know the new girl in my department, the one with the brown long-curly hair?" Ga In starts the conversation.

"Oh, the make-up girl? Why?" I asked her back while retrieving my normal breath.

"That girl is giving me headache everyday." Ga In complaining.

"What did she do anyway?"

"Every time I gave her task, she'll always do it with very slow working speed. I don't know what she's doing in her desk that it took so long to accomplish the task." Ga In answered me with high tone.

"Well, you can't expect other people to follow your work rhythm. They also have their own speed." I'm still trying to see the good side of this make-up girl.

"I know that, but I also gave the same task to other staff and its back to me with the result in three hours. I still can accept if she really slows in working if the result is satisfied. What makes me upset the most is that the result not even close to satisfied. It's all messed up that I had to ask other staff to make it up for her." Ga In is in a fury state right now while mentioning this girl.

"Really? She looks so diligent on the outside. I never thought that she was that kind of person. Blond girl type, eh?"

"Yeah, beauty on the outside dumb in the inside. I just don't understand how the company can hired people like her."

I laughed. "Calm down okay? Let's stop discussing her before you threw someone out from this bus."

I tried to calm her down because her level of anger is almost at the peak. Just for your information, if this girl reached her peak level of anger, she would do things that you can never imagine. She could be scarier as hell can be. And at this point, most people usually stay away from her. Only fools, who doesn't want their lives anymore, who dares to come near her except me. I think she needs some anger management class.

"How about you? Any particular moments today?" Ga In asked me, already with her normal tone.

"Nope, nothing happens today. It's just the same with yesterday."

Our bus finally reached our destination. The cinema is located also in the business area so the street is a little bit crowded. We arrived at 6.30. Still have thirty minutes before the movie begin. We're both immediately run inside the cinema and heading for ticket booth. Because of workdays, the cinema is not fully occupied. We manage to get a favorite seat.

The movie ended at 8.45. Ga In told me that she wants to buy some food on the way home. She's craving for ddokboki tonight so we're walking down the street. After bought ddokboki, we hop on a bus and head back to our apartment. Yes, we lived together in one apartment since our homes were both located outside the city so it's more comfortable for us to rent an apartment. Our apartment located only thirty minutes from the office, if the street was in normal condition. It's not a luxury apartment but I like the environment. It's clean and it has a garden and play area for children.

"Finally.....home sweet home" I said to Ga In while throwing my body to the nearest sofa.

"Yeah, I'm so deadly tired today. Anyway, that movie before was so hilarious. I can't stop laugh during the show."

"Yeah, me too." I grabbed the TV remote and search for drama showing today.

"Okay, I'm off to the bathroom now." Ga In grabs her towel and headed off to the bathroom.

It's a decision made by us when we're first agreed to rent an apartment together. In the evening, she will take a bath first and in the morning it's my turn because I was too lazy to move around after off work. I usually land my body on the sofa on the first moment I step inside the apartment. While Ga In can't stand with the pollution and dust attached to her body so she had to make herself clean enough before moving around the apartment. We both have an opposite personality but can get along for ten years. Amazing isn't it?

"Hye Rin ah, your turn." Ga In shouted from her bedroom.

"Okay."

I stood up and grabbed my towel, headed to the bathroom. After taking a bath, it's already 10.30. Ga In and I usually have a little chat before sleep. We talked almost anything and we're never run out of topic. The clock already show 11.30 now and we're both exhausted because of running all evening so now we're off to bed. I didn't know that tomorrow our lives would change forever.

Chapter 11: Hi there! You have a great fanfic here, i love it ^^
The story is so funny, cute, and interesting much.. i love the way Hyerin and Changsun fight :p
Anyhow, i think Hyerin and Byunghee were too fast, Byunghee never made a move before and suddenly he's kissing her and wanting to date her.. It's fine tho..
I admire Hyerin and Changsun, so i hope they'll end up with each other.. And give someone for Gain ^^
Anyway, about the changing point of view, you should put a sign on whose POV is it going to be..because it was confusing when it suddenly changing from hyerin to changsun or to anyone,, somehow i need to read again from the start (of the changing POV to be more understand about the feel) after i found out whose POV was that..
Update soon ;)
