Chapter 45
You've Fallen for a Bad Guy
All those years of sorrow, her entire life changed. The hardest thing in her life to get over with is the unexpected deaths that happened to the people she loves. She was angry that God took away all her loved once. First, her mother, then her father and lastly Ljoe? Besides being mad over it, she was depressed and only wanted to die and stop living.
She even ran away and stayed in Ljoe's old apartment. She locked herself in there, not eating anything and almost died. She was lucky to have Chunji by her side though.
She still couldn't accept the fact of Ljoe's death. She denies he's dead, as if she's numb but nothing ever changes. Ljoe is dead and it took her a long time to accept that truth. She learned that she must continue living.
When five years had passed, Nana was back to her old self. But there was one thing she promise herself "Lee Byunghun will always be the one in my heart. I will never love anybody else but him." She put on the Halloween costume she designed herself and also put on her purple glittery mask. It was night to remember, the 61st anniversary of the Fashion Industry she's working at.
Chunji, on the other hand, is now a Police Officer. He might be a bit a busy with his job but he never changed how he treats Nana. Nana likes him for that, but Ljoe is still the one. She couldn't understand why, but she couldn't get herself to forget him. Many times she thought of doing so, of throwing the ring he gave her so she could forget about him and find a better man just as Ljoe told her...But she couldn't.

The crowd went shouting and chanting 'Happy 61st anniversary C.O.R.E. Fashion Industry!’ Everyone was wearing their Halloween costumes and they were dancing on the dance floor. Others were chatting at the side or maybe eating.
Nana stayed at the corner, alone. She was still new and had only made a few friends.
"Nana, aren't you going to dance? Let's dance, ne?" Her girl co-worker asked her to join, but she refused at first.
Shortly, a new person arrived in a Halloween costume too and his faced covered with a mask. Everyone welcomed him except Nana who didn't even notice someone came in.
"We have a new member for fashion!" Their Chairman called out and saw Nana at the side. "Jang Nana, maknae!" He shouted. Nana looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, Chairman?" Nana asked.
"Entertain our new worker." The Chairman said and gently pushed the man in front of Nana. He continued dancing on the dance floor, drinking and partying like it was the first time.
The man in front of her had orange hair but Nana couldn't his face clearly since he was wearing a mask just like her. Nana just smiled and bowed at him.
"It's nice to have a new co-worker, sir. I'm Jang Nana and you are?"
"B.H." The man said simply, in a low tone. Nana smiled at him and was about to turn around but the man extended his hand at her. "Can I have this dance, Miss Jang Nana?" He asked.
Nana put her hand on his but told herself it's just a dance. She didn't want to refuse someone new in the industry.
B.H. grabbed her hand and they hit the dance floor. He put his hands on her waist and she put hers around his neck and started swaying and dancing normally.
"You're very beautiful," B.H. whispered into her ears. Nana was surprised and hated how that man is playing with her while dancing.
"What beautiful? You haven’t even seen my face yet." She said and laughed under her breath.
"You're wrong..." B.H. said. Nevertheless, it made Nana even more puzzled.
That man is weird; B.H. is just weird for her to understand. What is wrong with him? She thought. She wasn’t sure but she felt as if she had seen those lips before. It had been years since she last saw those beautiful kissable lips.
The way B.H. danced was so graceful and...Familiar...
The way his hands looked was so familiar...Everything looked so familiar about B.H. Nana couldn't say why or who is who...
"B.H.," she called his name while staring deep into his familiar eyes. "That's your name right?"
B.H. nodded his head.
Nana was thinking about someone else while staring at him, but one thing was sure...The person she is thinking about doesn't have orange hair... But she's got to be ethical; it was a good choice of hair color.
"B.H.," she called his name again. Now, she couldn't hold her tears back. "Lee Byunghun..."
"Nana," He said.
She leisurely pulled off the mask off him, dropping the mask when she saw the image of the man in front of her. The cold wind breezes through her face, it made her cry even more but she tried to hold back her sob.
"Lee Byunghun..." She said again.
"It took me a long time to find you," he said in a whisper, smiling sweetly.
She had so many questions to ask him but words won’t come out of . Not a single word but a silent sob. He cupped her face and pulled off her mask and then he kissed her forehead.
"Where have you been?" She managed to ask.
"It's a long story," was his only reply. A lot of things happened. Things that happened to him, his journey away from her and things that led him back to her. Before she could complain, B.H. who is actually Ljoe wiped her tears then kissed her with full of warm, passion and love. Everyone looked at them as if envious but glad.
Lee Byunghun...You're alive. She thought as tears fell nonstop on her white soft cheeks.
"I love you, Jang Nana." He whispered.
"I love you more...Lee Byunghun." Nana whispered back.
Wherever he went gone those five years, Nana at that moment didn't mind as long as she has Ljoe with her because no one's ever going to break them apart again.
