Hye Rin woke up first and saw Soeul and Daniel wrapped in each other's embrace, the two could pass as father and daughter when you look at them up close and carefully. She went downstairs to the kitchen and saw Mrs. Lee busy in making breakfast
" Good morning Mrs. Lee what can I do to help you" Hye Rin asked the kind lady if there was anything that she could help her with " Oh good morning Hye Rin, can you just put these in the table please I'm almost done" Mrs. Lee replied " Sure, by the way when is Mr. Lee coming home?" she asked all the while bringing the plates and bowls to the table, "He's coming home next week Wednesday on Christmas" Mrs. Lee replied with a huge smile and excitement evident in her face. They were both so engrossed and enjoyed in their conversation that they didn't seem to see the storm stop.
Daniel was starting to wake up in Soeul's room, he saw through the window that the storm had stopped but the snow was still at waist high considering he was a tall guy it must have been pretty deep, he looked back at the bed and saw Soeul sleeping like an angel so as quietly as he could, he started to trot down the hallway and down the stairs to the kitchen. There he saw Mrs. Lee and Hye Rin laughing together while making breakfast " Good morning " he decided to break their conversation and showed himself
"Good morning" both Hye Rin and Mrs. Lee greeted him back enthusiastically." Do you guys mind waking up the kids, It's almost 8 o'clock" Mrs. Lee asked, " Of course I'll wake them up" Hye Rin offered, "I'll come with you" Daniel added as he stalked to the stairs to the kid's rooms.
There was a dead silence between the two youngsters as they were walking down the hall of the huge mansion, both were thinking twice weather to start a conversation or not. It became eerily quiet and so Daniel decided to speak first
"Let's start speaking comfortably" the beautiful man offered "Sure!" Hye Rin replied hesitatingly at first but decided it to be the best thing to do " Let's start being friends since we both come here often and work at the media industry" Daniel said, he thought it was a good idea to befriend the girl that captured the children's heart, and had the same avocation yet not as introverted as he is. He looked at and waited for her response. "Sure let's do it, It'd be fun" Hye Rin responded enthusiasm could be heard in her well-modulated voice.
Everyone was seated at the dining table enjoying the breakfast prepared by Mrs. Lee, they enjoyed their time conversing and sharing stories.
Each one was having a great time in staying at the Lee residence, the kids were playing while the adults were sipping coffee and watching the news, "All road from Myeong-dong to the city are now unblocked, travellers are advised to take precaution while driving the slippery road, in other news....." the reporter from the BSS morning news stated, Hye Rin was getting ready to leave for work, she had a lot unfinished news to edit and had her show at 5:00 pm, she was escorted at the door by Mrs. Lee and the kids.
"Thanks for everything Mrs. Lee" Hye Rin thanked the kind lady, " Hye RinMomma when will you be coming back?" little Soeul asked with tears in her eyes, Hye Rin kneeled down to her level and said "I'll be back this Monday so you better be good to Mrs. Lee okay.." Hye Rin promised the little girl to come back, and the girl merely nodded, she was about to leave when; "Wait I'll drive you to the office" Daniel offered to his new friend. Since he had a car he couldn't just let her take the bus when he was going the same direction as her that would have been selfish.
" Yes please thank you" Hye Rin delighted by the offer accepted it without a doubt they both headed out the door, but after a few steps;
"Thank you for letting us stay here Mrs. LEE" Daniel thanked the generous lady "Oh, it was no problem at all, you kids are welcome to stay anytime, since Donggeun went to the army and Sarang went to Malaysia, I treat you kids as my own" Mrs. Lee replied with a longing expression visible in her face, her husband and children were away, it was hard to imagine how a 53 year old lady was able to take care of 3 little kids all by herself.
"We'll be back before you know it Mrs. Lee" Hye Rin promised the old lady and followed Daniel to the car.
Daniel opened the door to the passenger's seat for Hye Rin, once she was seated he rounded the car and went inside it. He turned on the engine and set his GPS to Broadcasting Station of Korea. On their way to their destination Hye Rin couldn't help but ask "Do you happen watch my show?" Daniel was nodded at the question "So what do you think?" Hye Rin asked with a slight laugh audible in her voice it was clear that she was anticipating on what he has to say. " Awesome, well it's just that my friends kept on talking about your show nonstop so I thought of watching an episode, you were pretty good, playful, polite, and funny" Daniel said. Hye Rin was grateful for his comment; she didn't expect that a celebrity would watch her show; she thought that it was too random and that only regular citizens would watch it. Somehow she was flusteredby his compliment that she couldn't stop smiling till they arrived to the office.
The moment they arrived at the office, cameras and media people were fighting their way to the doors of Daniel's car, "Daniel I heard you were stranded at Myeong-dong" "Daniel why are you with Hye Rin" "Hye Rin are you and Daniel dating?" everyone had a different question and every cameras flashed rapidly at the two. Daniel simply put his arms around Hye Rin to protect her from the press and led her inside the safeness of BSK.
"I hate how they ask the stupidest of questions" Daniel said frustratingly " Yeah well, let's just start the day, the earlier we work the earlier we finish" Hye Rin replied, " I have schedule for script reading at level 4, I'll be done by 7, what do you think about dinner with me?" Daniel said anxious of the woman's reply "Sounds great! My studios at level 3 just come by when you're done" Hye Rin replied with a defining smile that reaches from ear to ear, they both went on their separate ways and started their day. Yet as the day turns into night, both were beginning to become anxious and excited of their next meeting..
