Chapter 39 - Love at first Sight!

Ani was in Cho's family restaurant. Cho has changed her restaurant to a lavish one. It's 7 pm so the restaurant was packed with customers.

"You have completely changed it," stated Ani looking around the restaurant.

"Hmm….I've added some new dishes. I've added Thai, Japanese, and Chinese cuisines too in the menu," said Cho and sat opposite to her on the chair.

"Well, it's nice. So you're the manager and others are your employees," said Ani looking around.

"Hm...here drink your Choco shake," said Cho putting the choco shake on the table. Ani thanked her and sipped the shake. "Ahhh it's so tasty," Ani complimented with a smile.

"What about you? How's your first day?" queried Cho.

"Cho, you will not believe whom I'm working under," stated Ani.

"Haha...do not tell me you got someone similar to Jun," told Cho, jokingly.

"Yes," said Ani.

"What?" mumbled Cho with a shock.

"I mean my boss is Jun," answered Ani.

"Do not joke with me Ani. I know you are hurt by yesterday's incident but Ani-" Ani cut Cho's words and said, "I'm saying the truth. He did not study engineering there. He got admission to Harvard under the Business management program. He didn't tell anyone about this. I think uncle must have known but Jun must've told him not to say anything."

"Ani this is the golden opportunity. I mean he is your boss. Now, you can see Jun every day. But I will advise you to forget him as he has a girlfriend now," declared Cho and sipped her choco drink.

"Hm...but it's good at least I can see him daily as I am his assistant," stated Ani with a smile.

"Did you not see yesterday? He was with his girlfriend and was looking happy," asserted Cho. She held Ani's hand and said, "Ani, I should have told you this four years ago. I called Jun after he left for the US. I told him to call you and talk with you but he said you should give up on him and this thing you should feed in your mind. Sorry Ani, not telling you this but Jun really said this."

Ani felt bad hearing this. "Cho, I will give up on him now because he has gotten a girlfriend but I can not stop loving him. I will not be able to. But don't worry about me. I won't ever let him feel that I still love him." Ani's phone started ringing. She took out the phone from her pocket and saw it was Sung Woo.

"Cho, I should go now. Thanks for this choco shake. See you later bye," saying this Ani walked out of there. Cho sighed and muttered, "I wish he could actually love you."

Ani called Sung Woo back who just got free from his work. "Ani, I will be home in an hour," stated Woo.

"Okay, Oppa," replied Ani.

"Do you want something to eat? I will buy packed meals for us as I think you're tired because of work." Sung Woo asked her.

"No, Oppa. I am not tired. I'll prepare dinner for us," said Ani.

"Okay then, see you at home," replied Woo and hung up the call. Ani got into her car and left from there to her house.

Sung Woo was resting in his room in the hospital when someone knocked at the door. He adjusted himself and told the person to come in. The door was opened by the person.

"Bok Ju??" mumbled Woo and got up from his chair.

Bok Ju is in the neurosurgery department. She has a bold personality which attracts people towards her.

"Sung Woo, I need your help," stated Bok Ju and sat on the chair there.

"What help?" asked Woo.

"Today is the wedding reception. She has invited me there," said Bok Ju looking at Woo.

"So?" asked Woo.

"Be my boyfriend just for tonight," remarked Bok Ju.

"Nope. I do not want to," declared Woo.

"Please this is the last time," stated Bok Ju.

"Where's your real boyfriend? Ask him," Sung Woo suggested to her.

"He cheated on me. I broke up with him yesterday. Agh, I should've beaten him to a pulp," said Bok Ju with an angry look.

"Hey you should stop your violence on guys," told Sung Woo to her.

"I will but first let's go to the venue. I can't be late there. I have bought new clothes for you, change them and come out. I'm waiting," announced Bok Ju. She did not let Sung Woo speak and walked out of his cabinet room.

Woo sighed and looked at the bag. After ten minutes he came out.

"Ahh you are looking so good," Bok Ju complimented him and adjusted the tie on his neck.

"This is the last time, Ju," stated Woo.

"Yes yes... it's the last time. Let's go," asserted Bok Ju. She looked at her watch and screamed. 

"Run, run...we are going to be late," declared Ju and held his hand. They got into the elevator and then reached the ground floor. Ju told him to get into the car. She herself sat on the driver seat and drove away from there.

"Ju please let me drive," said Woo. He was holding the bar above the window and Ju was driving really fast.

"Sorry," said Ju.

"Slow down. At this rate you will kill us," screamed Sung Woo.

"Calm down doctor. It's fine. My hobby is to do car racing," stated Ju and further increased the speed. They reached the venue in an hour as against two hours. Sung Woo held his head as it was spinning. Ju caressed Woo's head and said, "Let's go inside."

"I will not ever come with you," pronounced Sung Woo with a worried look.

"Okay, don't come from next time," stated Ju and crossed her arms with his and walked inside the reception hall.

"What's inside that bag?" questioned Woo.

"A wedding gift for my friend," answered Ju. They entered inside the hall. Ju took Woo towards her friend who was busy clicking photos with her friends.

"Sunmi," called Bok Ju with a smile. Sunmi came towards her and responded, "it's so good to see you." They both embraced each other. Ju then gave a gift to her. Sunmi thanked her and then shook hands with Woo.

"You've again got a boyfriend," stated Sunmi studying at Ju, who smiled hearing this.

"Who proposed whom?" queried Jinhwa their other friends and stood beside Jinhwa.

"Ahh...of course, Sung Woo has proposed to me first," answered Ju, smiling.

"Really?" asked Sunmi.

Sung Woo was feeling uncomfortable hearing all their talks. Woo and Ju answered at the same time, "A week ago" and "a month ago." They looked at each other.

"Who's saying the truth?" questioned Jinhwa.

"He proposed to me a month ago but for three weeks he has to go to Daegu for some hospital work. We just started dating each other a week ago. Well, he fell for me at the first sight....it was like love at first sight." Ju explained them. Sung Woo looked at Ju in skepticism but to keep up the acting he also smiled.

"Well, do not beat him like your past boyfriends. Everyone knows you were famous for your fierce personality in the college days. We know in the doctor's profession one becomes busy but you should control your anger too. I'm telling this as I'm concerned for you," remarked Sunmi. Ju didn't say anything but she felt bad hearing this.

"If someone will cheat then he should be given a nice beating, isn't it? Ju is a woman with a bold personality which I respect. You don't need to be concerned for her. I wish you a happy married life," declared Sung Woo and held Ju's hand gently. They walked out from there.

"You don't have to be this rude," stated Ju.

"Bok Ju, you shouldn't be friends with such women," Woo suggested to her. "Well, I'm tired. My sister has reached home, and I've to leave. Let's go then. I'll drop you at your home," offered Woo.

"I'll go myself," said Ju.

"Hey, your home is in the midway so, let's not argue over this. I'll drop you," said Woo and told her to give him the car keys.

"But the car is mine," said Ju.

"I know. But I will not let you drive this time as I want to live," said Woo. Hearing this, Ju smiled. Woo too smiled seeing her smiling.

They got in the car, and Woo started the engine, driving to their homes.
