-- Taehee --

1 Month Prior

"Taehee ah!" Eunhae called as I walked into the venue.

"It's been so long." I greeted her and she pulled me into a hug. "I'm glad everything is okay. I was so worried. All of a sudden you disappeared!" We let go of each other from our hug.

"Sorry, for making you worry. I heard Jinhee went to find you?" 

"Yeah, she told me about what was going on; I tried to help in anyway I could using my personal connections as well." She smiled at me and thanked me. 

"Come, I'll introduce you to my husband to be." She said pulling me towards where he and the rest were standing. I was heading over with her but she got pulled to the side by the staff to take photos and I got out of the way for them to do so. 

Seeing how many people were here, I was feeling overwhelmed. I excused myself and went outside to where there was less people just to catch my breath again. I hated crowds and I didn't know why I feared it. Ironically, my line of work requires me to attend crowded places and I thought it would help me get over my fear but I still haven't. 

As I turned to walk back into the ballroom, someone bumped into me as he was rushing back inside. Noticing the gift dropping, I reached for it quickly before it it the ground. 

He said something I didn't catch in time and I stood back up to return it back to him. However, upon seeing me he just froze and not dropping his gaze. I lifted the gift higher to catch his attention and only then did he take it. 

I walked passed him but he stood still even after his friend had called him. I turned the corner to hide myself, scared he would stare at me with those eyes again. Those eyes...it was as if he knew me but I don't recall ever meeting him at all...well that's what my brain was telling me internally but my heart was telling me something different. He knows who I am. But who is he? Why am I feeling this way? Why is my heart beating this way? 

Throughout the entire engagement ceremony, I could feel his eyes on me ever so often and I avoided it as much as I could. I left the party early to catch my flight, I couldn't greet Eunhae's fiance and I felt bad but I really wanted to get out of there. It was becoming very uncomfortable with people coming up to me and striking conversations which I couldn't keep up with.
