“Join me. Let’s run away” 

 

Sana was totally confused with his sudden question. Was he asking for real or just a joke? 

 

“A-are you serious?” she stuttered 

 

Silence surrounded them for about five seconds before, 

 

“Pff bahahaha! Heck no!” Tzuyu burst out his laughter 

 

The smile on Sana’s face faded away when she saw the latter laughing at her. She threw him one icy glare that she believed he never seen it before. 

 

Tzuyu who was holding his tummy because of laughing so hard, when his eyes met with her deadliest glare, his breath caught in his throat as he stopped laughing. The corner of his lips quickly dropped and he gulped a big amount of saliva. 

 

“That wasn’t funny to you.. I guess?” he asked with his nervous voice 

 

She shook her head and crossed her arms. Then Sana rolled her eyes and looked away. 

 

‘Guys are jerks’ 

 

“Umm.. Sana-chan..I” 

 

“Forget about calling me Sana-chan” she commanded without looking at him 

 

“Sana shi.. I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to do that” 

 

“Hmm” she lifted her chin still not looking at him 

 

‘Are all models like this? So arrogant and cold?’ – Tzuyu said in his mind 

 

“Your mood was not that bright before I join you here so I thought that, that joke just now will brighten you up a little bit” he said 

 

“I am just not in the mood for any jokes” she replied 

 

“Well.. if you feel like you want some jokes, then call me!” Tzuyu said childishly and handed her his card She looked at the card in his hand and moved her eyes back to him. 

 

“You think I will take your card? I just know you” 

 

“I don’t know. If you don’t feel like taking it then-” he was about to put back his card in his card holder before Sana suddenly snatched it 

 

“I’ll just take it. Who knows, maybe my husband wants to have any business deals with you” she used Mark as her excuse 

 

Tzuyu nodded, “Okay” 

 

Later, they heard a familiar voice calling for her. They saw Mark looking around while calling her name. 

 

“Sana. Darling, there you are. What are you doing here? Everyone in there wants to have a chat with you” Mark found her and wrapped his arm around her waist 

 

“I was just having some fresh air” she said 

 

“Oh hey Tzuyu shi” Mark smiled to Tzuyu 

 

“Ssup” Tzuyu smiled and waved back at him like a man would do 

 

“Let’s get inside, my love. It’s kinda cold out here” Mark ushered his wife to get back inside 

 

‘What were they doing together?’ – Mark asked himself inside him 

 

************* 

 

Tzuyu got back into the slideshow room and immediately searched for his bestfriend, Chaeyoung. He saw Chaeyoung was having a talk with another person. Chaeyoung seemed to be engrossed with all the business conversations that night. 

 

“Hey Chae”  

 

Chaeyoung looked at Tzuyu and then back to the VIP he was talking to, “I’ll talk to you later sir” 

 

“It has been a nice meeting with you, Chaeyoung shi. See ya around” 

 

Then Chaeyoung turned to look at Tzuyu, “What’s up?” 

 

“Let’s get out of here” 

 

“But the dinner event is not over yet” 

 

“I know. But it’s too boring. I wanna get back to my hotel room” Tzuyu pouted 

 

“Hey come on Tzuyu stick around. Try and chat with Sana or something” 

 

“I did but her husband took her away” 

 

“Then can’t you wait just for few minutes? I still have lots of-” 

 

Hearing Chaeyoung babbling about business gave a stinging sound to Tzuyu’s ears. Then Tzuyu decided to use the magic word to distract him. 

 

“Mina” 

 

“Business and – what? WHERE’S MINA?” Chaeyoung’s eyes instantly roaming around the room 

 

Tzuyu laughed at his best friend because of his dying love for Mina. 

 

“Dude. That’s not cool” Chaeyoung pouted 

 

“Okay I’m sorry. But I’ll say her name again if you don’t get us outta here” 

 

“Fiiiine” the shorter guy groaned. “But don’t say her name when I’m driving or else we’ll end up in the hospital” 

 

“Roger” Tzuyu chuckled 

********** 

After sending Tzuyu back to the hotel, Chaeyoung drove himself back to his 4 star apartment in Seoul not far from where Tzuyu was located.     He took of his coat and hung it on the coat hanger near the door. He went into the kitchen to grab a glass of water before entering his photography room.    “11.30pm. I still got time” he glanced at his watch and decided to finish his work on editing some pictures    While browsing through the photos, his eyes caught some photos of Mina which was done to send to the magazine publisher. Chaeyoung smiled looking at the photos while taking a sip from the glass of water he took earlier.     Then he suddenly recalled the piece of folded paper that was handed to him during the dinner event. He exited his room and made his way to the coat hanger. He let his hand to search the paper in the pockets. He smiled widely after he found it.    Chaeyoung grabbed his handphone and dialed the number that Mina gave him. A few seconds later, he heard the call was connected.    “Hello?” he heard a lovely familiar voice through the phone    “H-haaiiii” he replied breathlessly    “Who’s this?”    “Me.. I mean.. it’s me. Chaeyoung”    “Oh Chaeyoung! Sounds like my manager successfully gave you the note”    “Y-yeah”    “That’s great. So how are you?”    “I uhh. I just got back f-from the d-dinner event” he stuttered    “I see. But why are you stuttering?” Mina chuckled    “D-don’t know”    “You’re funny Chaeyoung shi. We should meet again”    ‘Meet again?! I’m gonna die of happiness!!’ – Chaeyoung shouted for happiness in his mind    “Y-yeah! We should!”    “Chaeyoung shi, I’m not talking about that kind of ‘meet’. I’m talking about the appointment that you should show me the photos you took of me the other day” she laughed    He mentally hit his head after coming back to his sense. Yes there will always be an appointment between the photographer and the model to browse through and confirm the photos before sending to the magazine publisher.    “Right. Of course. I will see you soon then”    “Thanks for calling, Chaeyoung shi. Bye now”    “Goodbye, Mina shi”    Meanwhile, from Mina’s point of view.    “Chaeyoung is so cute” she giggled while putting her phone on the table.    She was removing her make-up when Chaeyoung called. She just got back from her schedule, the one that overlapped with the dinner event schedule.    Sumgyodo twinkle ojjona~    Her phone suddenly rang and she grabbed it.    “Hello?” she answered    “Mina ah~” the voice of a man was heard    “Siwon oppa!” Mina was happy after hearing his voice    “Hey sweety wanna have breakfast together tomorrow?”    “I didn’t know you’re back in Korea! And yeah of course I want to have breakfast with you”    “Totally miss that voice of yours. I’ll pick you up tomorrow then”    “Okies!”  *************    “Tzuyu shi, at 8am you have a meeting with the Conde Nast Publications”    “Okay” Tzuyu nodded    “At 10am you have an appointment with the president of Philips Company to check out the import and export items from America to Korea”    “Keep going” Tzuyu had definitely no interest    “And your uncle made a new business deal with the Seoul port so you have to be there to check the ship responsible for the ship
