Over a year ago.
Every day, Iseul always smiled upon Yeona's arrival at the office. He greeted her warmly and sometimes walked Yeona to the lift, engaging in small chitchat, now and then. Sometimes Iseul would purposely approach her group at the cafeteria, asking if he could join them.
With his actions, it became evident with many of Yeona's co-workers and close friends that Iseul had an eye for her.
Yeona did not mind at all. She could see Iseul's advances. She wasn't naïve. In fact, Yeona thought he was appealing, but it was because Brian's assistant, May Lin, an ex-pat from Hongkong, suggested otherwise.
In one of their lunch gatherings, Yeona's group of friends teased her about Iseul, but May Lin scoffed and said, "Why would you like someone like him? He has thick brows and constantly pouts his lips like this. He has bird lips."
