After a chat with old friends, Nari holding wine glasses and greeting others in the party, is Hyo Shin, Rachel and parents of Tan .....

Suddenly, she rolled her eyes in one place, she smiled. Just then, Won came, he said: "It was President of Zeus Hotel, who will take on the project of Jeju JG conference center. Maybe you know him right? Young Do was also a former student of Jeguk.”

"It is clear"- Nari muttered and walked towards him before the surprise of many people. It seems like everyone is holding their breath to see her behavior when meets him after 10 years of separation, especially when he ishaving a new girlfriend.

Won looks Young Do, he is quick introduction: "Choi President, this is Shin Nari, chairman of the board of SIB bank who will invest in your project.”

Nari spread small hand to wait for a handshake greeting from him. But he no response. He still frowned at her during the time that she appeared at the party and now he is looking at the light emitted from the diamond ring on her hand.

Nari puts her hand back, cleared to say playfully: " Whatesle, Choi President, old friends not seen for a long time but you don’t have any enthusiasm. I appeared untimely, or Choi President does not want to see me.”

At this time, Young Do's girlfriend say: "Are you Shin Nari, It’s so happy because today I meet you. I really admire you."

"Who are you?" - Nari asked

Riri loudly:"Well, I’m Riri. A model and his girlfriend of Young Do oppa."

"Hey, Riri ..." - Young Do is surprise with the introduction of his girlfriend.

Nari: "Riri? Girlfriend of Choi President?" - She looked at him in a low voice, as if to delve look into his eyes and ask him why he called another girl whose name he had called her.

Riri did not understand what unusual is happening, she happily replied: "Yes, I’m Riri. Actually the name is my stage name. One time accidentally Young Do called me like that. My real name is Kang Yoo Ri ...... Well, I'm a fan of your designs. I hope someday, i can put those design and strode down the runway.”

Nari:"Yeah, I also hope to work with you​​"- she smiles

Ji Ah as hunches are not happy. She ran back inside Nari to attract the attention of Nari from Yoo Ri. However, Yoo Ri continued to say: "Sunbae, are you friend of Shin chairman. Fortunately."

Nari :"Sunbae?"

Yoo Ri: "Well, I’m a model of Sidus HQ by sunbae Ji Ah and director Bo Na.”

"Yah"- Nari laughed -" We have a fate each other, Yoo Ri.”

She turned to look Young Do and continued: "So it’s a way that you got to know this girl. If I wanted to invite your girlfriend to join my shows for upcoming collections, would you agree?”

Ye Sol interrupted, she told Nari: "Why not invite me. Although i’m not a professional model, but we've known each other."

Hyo Shin: "This girl. You want to participate in my film, and want to be a model. You're a workaholic”.

Yoo Ri:" I want to play in your film project anymore” ...

......At this time, Young Do pretend to have a call, he sneaks out. He want to quickly get rid of the heavy space is engulfed him ......

Nari watched his appearance. She smiles. Smiling because everyone is trying to break the tension between her and him and his new woman. And smiling because of the way he treated her .... If everything is going to end ...

Part 14.4: Remember or forget

Young Do walked quickly to the back yard of the villa. He poured out a long breath, tired. 10 painful years have passed, not one letter or messages that he received from her. All the news, he only know through the news in this year when she was successful in her ​​career. And today, he said onething that she still often contacted old friends of both. But with him, she disappeared completely. The day that she left rush and quick, and the day she’s back is same. He really could not believe that he met her in a situation like this. The emotions in the heart of Young Do, he can not explain. Love and hate. With all that she has done to him, perhaps he has forgotten her shadow, memory of two. But now she has returned full of surprises like the way she appeared in his life. It makes old memories rushing back.

Young Do  closed his eyes, looking up at the sky aglow. From 10 years, to face many difficulties in work, but this is probably the first time he felt suffocated and wanted to flee away. Suddenly, as if a darkness engulfed him, Young Do opened his eyes, surprised, he walks back. Ahead of him is Nari, she flashed a smile for him.

Nari: "Aren’t you happy when i came back, Do Do?"

Silence, there is only silence. Nari frowned and said: "At least you answered me once. It is necessary to treat the stranger to me like this?"

"Why did you return to at the moment?" - Young Do said.

Nari: "So the opportunity has arrived, now i can decide anything for my life. I returned to do my promise with you. Do you remember, Do Do?”

Of course, how Young Do forget. When he was accustomed to her presence, when he spent all feelings for her, but she left him, listened to her parents. That day he had just laugh because of the silly things she said that she would return to find him, that if he does not love her, she will take the ring back what he gave her his without a word of blame . How can it happen when she is ready to leave him with pain in his heart. It's called a love? Few years first, he was waiting for her and hope but she disappear like a mist of smoke. Young Do has tried to forget her by embarking on a career and find joy in the new relationship. He did not know how many girl that he knew.

Young Do: "What do you want?"

Nari raised her left hand in front of him: "The love of me with you has always been so, never change. I want this ring will forever in my hand. But not if it only from one side. Do Do, I am waiting for an answer from you”.

He looked at the ring on her hand, diamond ring he gave her in L'ami Louis - where have a love of two people. His eyes looked at her rebuke: "You left me 10 years ago without a news. Now you come back and ask me this question? I don’t answer."

"Why?" - Her heart ached - "Because of your new girlfriend. Do you like her? If not how can you call her name so sweet, Riri."

Young Do: "No relation to you”.

What Young Do said that Nari mad, she ran closer to him, grabbed his hand. Young Do is unexpected, bracing his hands off her, shouting: "What are you doing?"

"No" - Nari suddenly b eyes, she said in a choked - "No, this ring has been wore on your hand. I know I wrong when I leave. But all thing that i did is for us. 10 years, i never forget you, never stop loving you. The only thing i can do is try successful quickly to come back and find you. You can blame me because I’ve never taken a message sent to you. But you know that if I do that, I will give up and immediately come to you. But .... you …”

Young Do is embarrassment, he interrupts: “I need time to think. " - Then he leave immediately. Because he is scared, extremely scared when old emotional urge his heart.

She looked at him with tearful eyes. Still him, Young Do, a cold and lonely people. She had been happy to pull him to her side. Now re-start with the number 0, but she will not give up. "I'm going to have you back, Choi Young Do" - Nari said to herself. She returned to the party after Young Do. But she did not stay there long. Because she knew that he felt awkward so she's allowed to leave before.

One spring afternoon with thousands of bright sunlight .....
