MATZ LIZZUR GALLERY EXIBIT:

 

A lone figure was standing in front of one of the paintings on display in the art section when another figure came beside him for a small talk

"Where is your date... Chae Anji? I didn't know you like arts~". The other figure said in a quite sarcastic tone

"Unfortunately, he's not here to accompany me... he's with my dad on a business trip in Thailand... now, you know that I also love arts... Jeremy Choi~ so, the rumors were true... you've returned from Milan". Chae Anji, the figure that was spoken to replied as he faces the latter one

"I'll come back whenever I want. Seoul is my home and my family still lives here... so, here I am". Jeremy said with a scoff and faces the latter one too

"Have you seen the recent article about your ex-boyfriend?". Anji ask in a quite mocking tone

"Hongjoong?". Jeremy's demeanor suddenly changes into serious as he asks back

"Who else, is there anyone else other than Kim Hongjoong?". Anji said with a smirk. Jeremy didn't say a thing as he turned his face away and look at the painting instead

"He's currently dating someone in secret but now, everybody knows. They've been secretly photographed in a garden at an orphanage charity event... but Hongjoong wasn't confirming or denying anything about this article". Anji said with a sigh

"Why are you telling me this Anji?". Jeremy asked as he turned to face the latter one once again

"I don't know... to inform you... or maybe to dishearten you?". Anji said with a shrug

"Is this some kind of a strategy or something? are you feel threatened now that I return? I heard you've been doing great with your modeling career while I was away~ see, whatever had happened between me and Hongjoong... it's already in the past and I'm not here for him... I came for work". Jeremy said in a serious tone

"Okay, you better chill Jeremy~ and this is not a strategy, and neither I feel threatened upon your return. I was just saying what's the latest buzz in Seoul in case you didn't know, why so serious?". Anji said with a sarcastic smile

"Whoever that was... good luck to him". Jeremy said

"Alright, I'll be going now~". Anji said as he was about to leave the latter one

"I heard you've been casted to Anna Sue's fall collection... I guess I'll be seeing you there~". Jeremy said in a quite mocking tone

"I'll see you at the runway then~". Anji said as he leaves Jeremy alone with a grin on his face. Jeremy was left standing alone as he stares blankly at the painting but the wheels on his head were turning and images of him and Hongjoong came flashing back as a sad smile appeared on his lips.

 

HORIZON INC.; MAIN BUILDING/ VICE PRESIDENTS OFFICE:

 

 Hongjoong was doing some annual reports on his laptop when Eden suddenly came to his office desks and sits on one of the empty chairs in front of his table

"What are you doing, Hongjoong-ah?". Eden asks first

"Annual reports, why?". Hongjoong asks back as he stops typing and faces the older one

"Nothing, you seem... like you're enjoying doing this thing right now... which is a bit strange because usually making an annual report gives you a headache... so, what's up?". Eden said in a firm tone. Hongjoong was about to say something but Maddox cuts him off

"Don't tell me... is it Seonghwa-ssi?". Maddox said with a teasing smile as he went closer to Hongjoong's desk to join the conversation

"Wha... what?". Hongjoong asks as he stutters in disbelief

"How's yesterday with him? have you clarified things with him about the situation?". Eden asks with a stern look on his face

"It's fine. We... ahm... take the chance to get to know each other yesterday. I haven't told him anything yet... maybe later". Hongjoong said in a quite embarrassed tone

"Earlier someone from Business and lifestyle magazine called and was asking for an exclusive interview... I didn't say anything, I just told him I'll let you know first and call him back if you're interested". Eden said in a firm tone

"And what do they want from me?". Hongjoong asks with a scoff

"Of course, they'll ask you about business-related things, about Horizon, and maybe... something about your personal life?". Eden said with a shrug

"Or maybe it's a way to confirm things about the article don't you think, some people got curious you know?". Maddox adds up

"I'll think about it... and I'll ask Seonghwa too". Hongjoong said with a sigh. Maddox and Eden look at each other when they heard what their younger cousin said before Maddox broke a knowing smile. The mood was all light but not for long when out of nowhere Mr. Sanada came with a paper in hand

"Mr. Kim, I'm here to give you your mother's schedule for tomorrow". Mr. Sanada said as he handed the paper to Maddox

"You could've just sent that through Maddox hyung's email. Now, why and where is she?". Hongjoong curiously asks her mother's secretary with a slight frown

"She's off for today... she's busy preparing for your brother's arrival tomorrow". Mr. Sanada said. Eden immediately looks to his younger cousin to see his reaction and so as Maddox

"Maddox hyung what's her schedule for tomorrow?". Hongjoong asks in a disinterested tone upon hearing the news of his brothers' arrival

"Tomorrow afternoon you'll be attending Anna Sue's fall collection runway show at 4 pm in Luminous Grand hotel". Maddox said as he read the paper

"A fashion show?... and what exactly am I going to do there?". Hongjoong said in a quite annoyed tone as he faces her mother's secretary 

"Maybe the President wants you to check on Anna Sue's collection for fall... as the creative director of Horizon clothing line... in hope, you and the clothing line team would get some idea". Mr. Sanada said
