I hear whispered voices. But my eyes are too heavy to open. 

"I will open the door."

I can hear a female voice. Is it Yeo Jin? "She is too drunk."

Now I can hear a male voice. Who is he? Our neighbours? And I feel like I am carried on the back of someone. Who is carrying me?

I will myself to see who are speaking. But my eyelids don't want to. Unconciousness comes in again dragging me back to the dreams. I feel sleepy.

SO SLEEPY... so sleepy...

I wake up with an urging need to thirst. My mouth and neck are dry. My head aches so bad. And my body feels pain.Jeez, I should not have drunk too much.I get up and head to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water. 

When I reach the kitchen, Yeo Jin is in her white jeans and a red shirt sipping coffee on the dining chair. 

"You awake? How are you feeling?" she asks.

"I am having a hangover, I think," I say opening the refrigerator. I pull out a bottle of cool water and I welcome the freezingly cold water flowing into my throat. Oh, that feels good. "How did I get here yesterday?"

Yeo Jin arches an eyebrow regarding me with a you-don't-remember look. 

"You don't remember?"

"I can remember certain things, like we went to the club. I danced. And...,"

And I met him. That handsome boy. The tough man. The brawl. And then... what happened next? 

I am trying really hard to recall my hanging memory after the brawl when yeo jin asks me the stupid question.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" she asks looking amused.

"What makes you ask me like that?" 

"Well last night, in the club, while I was on the dance floor, a handsome young man approached me. And he asked me that you are his friend and that you are unconciously drunk sleeping in his car. He said he was going to take you home but he didn't have the key to the apartment. So I came together with him to home leaving the boys at the club. He also volunteered to carry you to our room and put you to bed. I was about to attempt to ask him more about the relation between you two. But I thought I would rather hear it from you. Who is he?"

"He is... we just met twice. Thats it. There is nothing between us," I shrug.

"Seriously?" she frowns again suspiciously looking at me. 

"Yes!"

"Then how did he know where you live?" she asks taking a sip of her coffee staring me with I-want-to-know-more face.

"I don't know, too." Yeah, how did he know my address? "Maybe you heard it wrong."

She frowns and pouts like a child.

"Is there anything worse happened? Did I do something stupid?" I ask changing the direction of the conversation with a question that myself is also curious of the answer.

"You punched him on his face when he put you to bed."

"Really?"

"Mmm... Hmm," she nods.

I am confounded. Crap! I must have thought him as the tough man who tried to seduce me! 

"Oh I almost forgot. He gave you his business card." she hands me a white card from her wallet. "By the way isn't Dw.L the company you went for interview?"

I stare at her blankly and I read the black letters written on the card.

                                          "Lee Dong Wook

                     Chief Executive  Officer of Dw.L Company"

Double Crap!

I look up the Dw.L company projecting tall towards the blue sky. The building is in the shape like a slender with glass windows. And the name of the company in super large yellow and green colour on top of the building. 

I sign when my eyes look at the entrance of the company. I am feeling nervous not because it is the first day of work but because of the last night. I scold myself for not even knowing the CEO of the company I am going to work. Who would want to employ a person like me?

I talked gibberish things and I even caused him trouble. And the most crucial thing is that I punched him in his face sleeply! Oh No! What am I going to do? You might get fire in the first day of work. My inner-self threaten me. No! I closed my eyes briefly thinking where the hell I am going to work if I am fired. 

He is not going to do that right? I can see he is a good man! Let's think positive this time. I encourage myself.

I take slow anxious steps towards the building. But the positive and negative part of my brain are still debating on the problem whether I will be fired or not. I walk through the rotating door and search everyone in the lobby for Dong wook.

I don't want to face with him. I will feel ashame and can probably be fired if I do so. There is no way he can see me in this big company. He would probably won't even know I work here. He is a CEO! He is a busy man! I am taking the cautious steps to the elevator when I found him from a faraway distance.

He is talking to a group of gentelmen in suits. He talks gracefully in his fine blue linen suit with elegant hand gestures. God, I am falling for him again.

While my inner-self is losing herself in this fine-looking man, he tilts his head to the direction of me. His eyes find mine and I froze on the spot. He frowns. He walks from the group towards me. !He found me!

I quickly make my way to the elevator feeling like a deer running fast from its consumer. There are several people already in the elevator when I reach.

And I see him coming towards the lift with graceful fast steps. The last thing I see before the doors close is his fine-sculptured lips mouth something which I don't hear. 

I reach the floor of my advertisement department all sweaty from all the running. I breathe out a long sigh. Gosh! It was so close. 

I go to the manager of our department with the help of a female employee. 

I knock on the door and the tall fine man in sleeveless vest wore over a white shirt opens the door. This company has all the beautiful men! My inner-self is jumping up and down. But I turn off the flirty mode and I come in.

He is on the phone and he holds up his indexfinger indicating to wait a moment. He gestures me towards the chair in front of his desk and I go to sit. 

About a minute later, he hangs up the phone.

"I am sorry, that was an important call. You must be Song Ji Hyo. Nice to meet you, I am Jo In Sung."

He holds out his hand and I stand up and shake greeting polietly back to him.

"I didn't think my new assistant would be that pretty," he praises. I blush crimson. 

"Thank you."

"How old are you?" he asks not letting go off my hand.

"Umm... I am 25."

"Same with me! Lets get more friendly then!" he says looking amuse. 

"Come. I will show your desk," he says and leads me outside of his office. His office is covered all in glass. Glass windows and glass door. 

"This is your desk."

My working place is just a path away from his office. 

"I already put the lists of product details which need to be typed and printed on your desk. Since this is your first day of work, I don't want to stress you out. See you later," he winks at me and disappears into his office. 

He is so kind. I thought that the managers and the employees here would be so scary. But our department's manager is not, I think.

And the CEO, I thought he would be old. But turned out that he is a goddess handsome man. 

I put down my handbag and sit on the swivel chair. I rest my head on the chair, my mind in heaven. I finally get the job! What if you get fire! My negative part of the brain comes from nowhere bawling out at me. But I push aside this negative thoughts and start to work.

It is almost lunch time when I finish half of the pile of papers In Sung gave. I stretch out freeing my tiredness. Then, my office phone rings. I pick up immediately.

"Nice to meet you, I am Song Ji Hyo, assistant to manager Jo In Sung."

"Miss Jihyo-ssi, I am calling from the reception of CEO office. Our CEO would like to meet you now. Please head up to the 26th floor of the company."

I freeze. CEO wants to see me? To fire me? The thought of walking in the flowers garden with my joy at my first day at work finally scatters into billion pieces. You stupid girl! You are probably to get fired! My inner-self is weeping together with me in my mind. 

I hang up feeling daze. 

"Jihyo, aren't you going to lunch? Let's go. I know a good place near the company," In sung voice drags me back to reality.

When I gain myself back, he is looking down at me with his bright eyes in front of me.

"I am... I am sorry. I have an important meeting with my friend," I say apologetically.

In Sung face grimaces. I shrug and preserve a fake smile. 

"Next time then. We are going to meet everyday as you are working here," he smiles and leaves with other co-workers.

Yeah, it would be great. But I am not still sure if today will be the last day of me at work. 

I get up heavily from my chair and walks dreadfully towards the elevator.

I press the 26th floor button. The elevator ascends upward. My mind increases apprehension with each floor it passed. Then I hear the ping sound and the doors open.

I look up and he is standing there.  Looking as stern as ever with his hands place behind him standing like a commander statue.
