Intermezzo (short chapter)
A love like ember lightsIn the meantime in korea
“Yah! Seyeon-ah!”, a middle-aged pretty ahjumma with almond shaped eyes calls out to her daughter who went up to her room, “Aren´t you going to have dinner? Come down!”
“I´m tired eomma! I just want to sleep!”, Seyeon the new stylist team member of beast screams down.
“Don´t talk back to your eomma and just come down, Seyeon-ah!”, the ahjumma insists.
No response.
Seyeon´s mother, who saw her daughter leave for work early in the mornings and return close to midnight every day ever since she started to work for Cube entertainment and especially for that one idol, couldn´t stop worrying about her daughter. Of course, it was a great career opportunity for Seyeon-ah who as a Newbie has the chance to follow around and work for an established idol, but still.
“That idol of yours! Isn´t he too much! Working you to the bones!”, the middle-aged ahjumma suddenly bursts out angrily.
“Eomma!!!!”, Seyeon-ah suddenly bursts out as well, “Oppa does not work me to my bones!”
“Oh, yes. He does! Your oppa is a slave-driver!”, Seyeon´s mother adds.
“Eo-M-M-A! That´s not the case!”, she answers before she slams her door shut. Her mother slightly hears how her daughter says, that she is skipping dinner today and something about that she can´t live because of a mother like her. Seyeon´s mother who is quiet used to Seyeon´s small fits of anger just sighs and walks back into the kitchen.
Seyeon on the other hand directly crawls into bed. She´s dead tired, well actually her body is tired but her heart is like: YEY! Let´s party all night. She can´t understand her mother when all oppa did was to rigorously teach her everything. For a newbie it is difficult to get her foot in the door, so she is very grateful that oppa took her under his wing. Just the thought of her angel-like oppa makes her heart race. She knows that it is prohibited but she can´t stop herself – she has fallen for him head-over-heels. As she once again recalls the things he said to her in the last couple of days, she gets this enormous swarm of like little butterflies in her stomach.
-“Who are you texting to?”, he asked.
-“Do you have a boyfriend?”, he asked.
-“Do you like someone?”, he asked.
-“Don´t go to the company. Go straight home.”, he said.
-“You can go to the company another time. I drive you home.”, he said.
With a smile on her face Seyeon recalled Hyunseung´s words over and over again until she fell asleep.
On the other side of town…
Hyunseung
Hyunseung who didn´t realize Seyeon´s true feelings yet, is satisfied with today’s results. Once again he was able to keep Seyeon away from the company and from Junhyung. Sorry woman, but all is fair in love and war- is what he is thinking as he gets into the bath.
