Hello everyone! It has been some time now and before anything I want to truly apologize for the delayed update. Last year, life was a huge rollercoaster, but now that I'm beginning to pull everything together, things are beginning to calm down. Thank you all for patiently waiting! 

Enough about me I hope everyone has been well! Hope you all enjoy the new chapter! I will be updating other stories and this one sooner especially in time for Valentine's Day!

“Here,” Yi Jung handed Ga Eul a towel. Thankfully the rain subsided, and they made it to the car. 

“What about you? It would be best if you got dried up too,” Ga Eul replied with a concerned look that made Yi Jung smile as he took the towel from her hand and put it on her head, rubbing it against her hair. As he finishes up, he moves closer to Ga Eul’s side, causing her eyes to widen as she moves back. Yi Jung couldn’t help but deepen his smile as he reached for her seatbelt and buckled it in.

“Shall we get back home?” Ga Eul responded by nodding. She took the towel off her head and set it on her lap, looking over at Yi Jung, who was concentrating on the road. Ga Eul then turned to face the other side of the window, her heart racing, and thought to herself, ‘Ga Eul, that was only a kiss; it probably didn't mean anything to him, don't get ahead of yourself.’

“Omma, we are home!” When Yi Jung noticed his mother's shoes on the rack drenched in wet muck, he paused before continuing to shout as he allowed Ga Eul inside the house. ‘Did omma go out today?’ Shaking the thought away, Yi Jung headed inside. 

“You two are back already?”

“It started to rain, so we had to come back sooner than expected,” Ga Eul replied as she avoided Mrs. So’s gaze. 

“Curse the rain; I hope you two still enjoyed yourselves and relaxed.” As those words left Mrs. So mouth, Ga Eul’s eyes widened, recalling their kiss. Yi Jung smiled at her reaction, but before he could respond to his mother, Ga Eul excused herself and headed to her room. 

“So?” Mrs. So looked at her son, raising her eyebrow. 

“So what, omma?”

“Sounds like you both had a great time. Anything special happen, that you want to tell me?” Before Yi Jung could respond, a man came running towards Mrs. So. 

“Ma’am, you left your sunglasses in the car.” When Mrs. So heard this, she quickly grabbed her glasses and brushed the man aside. Yi Jung turned around and watched the man leave. The pattern on the back of his shirt reminded him of a previous meeting. Yi Jung scowled and turned back to his mother.

“Why are you looking at me like that, son?”

“Omma, you didn’t.” 

“Didn’t what? I have no idea what you are referring to,” Mrs. So answered in a cautious manner. Yi Jung's fears were validated by witnessing her condition. Ga Eul was being pushed and bumped into him by his mother's actions. Yi Jung shrugged as he passed Mrs. So without saying anything.

The following day came swiftly, and Yi Jung was unable to stop grinning. He had to get up early for a conference, and was disappointed when Ga Eul wasn't at the breakfast table. Perhaps she was still asleep. After each meeting, Yi Jung's smile grew bigger as lunchtime approached. At his desk, he glanced through a file aimlessly while thinking back to yesterday. Was it the kiss alone, or the way he had left Ga Eul gasping for air, that had him smiling all day? The office door slid open before Yi Jung could get a response, and the sound of the door locking drew Yi Jung out of his thoughts.

“My. My. Aren’t you a cheer bug today? Here I was thinking you would be upset since we haven’t spent much time together.” 

“Ah… It is nothing really, just the projects are getting done so quickly and our meetings went well today!” Yi Jung responded by fixing himself; as he revisited the file, Eun Jae pulled it out of his hand and placed it on the table next to where she sat herself. 

“Well then how about we celebrate?” Eun Jae kisses Yi Jung on the cheek while loosening his tie. Yi Jung grabs her hand that was on his tie causing her to give him a curious look. 

“Sorry but I have a lunch meeting to attend, let’s meet up after?” Before Eun Jae could respond Yi Jung left his office. Eun Jae shrugs off his behavior as she sits herself on his chair and begins flipping through files.

“Omma, where is Ga Eul?” Yi Jung questioned as soon as Mrs. So answered his call.

“Oh we are about to head out for lunch right now” Mrs. So responded with a smile.

“Tell Ga Eul to meet me at the F4 lounge. The driver can bring her there” 

“What why?” 

“Omma, after what you did yesterday, I don't think you have any right to ask me any questions at this time. Also, you need to stop by the office and join Mr. Lee for a lunch meeting for me.” 

“Yah! Who are you to boss me around like that?” 

“Well, let us see what Ga Eul thinks about your behavior yesterday-”

“You little brat-”

“Omma, I am ready to go.” As she turns to face Ga Eul, Mrs. So smiles broadly.

“I am so sorry, but I need to run to the office for a meeting. But I asked Yi Jung to take you to lunch! He said he will meet you at the F4 lounge” 

“Oh, no worries; please tell him not to be concerned about me; I'm sure he's busy today.” Ga Eul flashed Mrs. So a smile which she was about to return until she heard her son on the other line.

“Text message to Ga Eul: dear Ga Eul do you know why we bumped into each other yesterday?” Mrs. So takes a deep breath after hearing this.

“No. No. Ga Eul, Yi Jung has already left work. He is delighted to meet you for lunch. So don't worry, it's not a problem. He said he'd be there soon, and I think you should hurry up. The driver will take you." Mrs. So pushes Ga Eul out the front door before she can respond. Mrs. So brings back her phone to her ear. “Happy? I'll be in the office in ten minutes."

“Nice doing business with you Omma.” Mrs. So hung up the phone, but she couldn't help but smile. Yi Jung went to all this trouble just to have lunch with Ga Eul; nothing could ruin this day.
