Ring! Ring! Ring!
The alarm started shouting from its core. Su Yeon switched off her alarm and woke up. Finally, from today onwards, her internship will start. To start her day full of energy, she set an alarm of 5:30 am so that she can exercise a bit. She freshened up, wore her tracksuit and went for jogging
It was the month of November so there was chilly weather in the morning at the park. She jogged for about half an hour and then continued walking to relax a bit while listening to the songs.
She liked this feeling so she decided to come regularly. She was amused since she is the type of person who will roll themselves in the blanket in this season and woke up late.
While walking she saw a man was also jogging but he was on the other side of the park. She couldn't see his face clearly but when she saw him for the first time, the image of Brother Lufan popped up in her mind. She wanted to check him but the park was so huge and he was at the other end so she gave up that idea and went home.
…
At the other end of the park, a tall man was jogging and thinking about something deeply. He was in his mid-twenties, had a strong physique, clear and sharp eyes, and had a warm aura. Suddenly, he felt a gaze on him so looked in that direction, and saw a small familiar figure looking at him. He knew who was that person at one glance and tried not to go towards her. Instead, he jogged further while looking at her by the corner of his eyes.
When he saw that small figure went outside the park, he sighed and smiled. He knew how lazy that person is. At first, he was quite surprised by her presence at this time. If everything was normal, he would have joined her; but now, it would be best if he stays as far as possible from her.
He sat on the bench and thought about the day they meet in the cafe after so many years. When he heard her voice and that shameless joke, he wanted to turn around and flick her forehead for using such crude language; but he had to hold his desire for her safety.
If they knew that he cared for her, she will be in danger every time. He had to stay away from her until he gains enough power in his hands. Till then, he had to protect her secretly.
He wanted to talk to her, share many things that happened in those years and take care of her. He always wonders about the affection he had for her. She met him for just a short time and he had started taking care of her already.
He laughed when he remembered her antique answers. He then remembered that time when she was there at that dangerous place without having the slightest hint of fear.
He mumbled, "I am sorry Little one, I cannot meet you right now. I know that you have already found out about me, but just wait for some time. I have to be rude with you for a time being."
He got up, put on the headphones and continued jogging.
...
Su Yeon went home, took a bath and started getting ready. She chose simple formal clothing for her first day which will portray her character, after all, it would be her first impression.
She chose a white shirt with a vertical thin black line pattern and paired it up with jet black trousers and small diamond stone ear studs. She tied her hair in a nice clean ponytail and left her long bangs as it is, behind her ears. She picked up her bag and kept a notepad in it.
On the dining table, Yoon parents were waiting for her. When she came outside, they greeted her with a happy face.
Father Yoon reminded, "Ahh Su Yeon, how are you going to the Song Empire every day, because I can't drop you off every time as it is very far from my office." Su Yeon nodded and replied, "I know, I will go by bus, it may take almost half an hour only so no worries."
After having breakfast, they both prepare to leave. "All the best sweetheart," Yoon parents wished her good luck and she bid farewell to them.
Su Yeon adjusted her winter overcoat and started walking towards the bus stop. She didn't know the exact time required to reach the company by bus so left home at 8:30 am since the working hours will begin at 10 am.
Just after some minutes, the bus came and she went inside. After going inside, she realized that she had forgotten to take a new bus pass. She paid the fare with cash and took a mental note about taking a new bus pass.
At a certain stop, a tall man entered the bus. He had a tall but bit thin and lean physique and pinkish-white clear skin. The black-rimmed rectangular glasses were complimenting his skin tone, small face, and silent attitude. He doesn't have a cold aura but a silent nature. He scanned his pass and sat on the seat before Su Yeon.
Just as he sat on the seat and was about to drink his coffee, his phone rang. He took out his phone to receive it. Accidentally Su Yeon saw a familiar name; she wasn't peeping on his phone but a certain name caught her attention.
Dr Wang Lufan from GS [1]
She paused the song she was listening to and tried to eavesdrop on their conversation.
He picked up the call and said, "Hello" His voice was deep but soothing. He listened first and then said, "He is not coming today so wait for me, I will come within thirty minutes... you proceed with the main surgery part, I will look after vessels damage and tell Min to send me the reports of the patient, I will review it till then."
Su Yeon was curious and wanted to ask if this Wang Lufan was the same Lufan she knows; although it would be a bit awkward. When she was about to ask, he started studying the reports of that patient and also her stop came. She thought maybe she can ask him tomorrow and got down off the bus.
She reached Song Empire just fifteen minutes earlier than reporting time, Woah! That was a bit unexpected! She thought that she may need just thirty minutes but who knew that it will take about forty-five minutes to reach. She sighed, 'Thank god I left earlier than my estimation, else I would be doomed at the very first day of my work!'
She looked at the huge blue-colored skyscraper in front of her. At the very front side, two words were written in the metallic golden colour… SONG EMPIRE.
It was really an empire having business in multiple sectors like technology, real estate, fashion, etc. This skyscraper was of the IT sector headquarters. The employees having shiny Navy-blue ID cards were walking proudly and had a confident attitude.
She entered the company and went to the reception desk. The receptionist told her to go to the left side on the fourth floor. Since she had not much time left, she took the elevator.
After reaching the finance department on the fourth floor, she was told to wait in the meeting room since there will be a short orientation lecture for them. There were few people just like her, waiting for their supervisor. She took an empty chair and sat quietly.
Soon, a man, probably in his late thirties came in. His personality was extremely professional with a hint of friendliness. He stood in front of everyone and said, "Hello my dear interns, I am Manager Kang Seok from the finance department. I will be your supervisor throughout this whole program,"
He introduced himself, what will be in this internship, a general idea of work, some other matters, and distributed the ID cards. The ID card for interns was a laminated card with a yellow-colored cardholder. Even if it was just for one month, the rules of the Song Empire were very strict. Also, they were given a booklet containing relevant information for the internship.
All of them reached the finance department and there was an introduction of everyone. Manager Kang assigned work to them. Su Yeon got her first work to create a proper financial statement from the given data. She took her file and went to her desk.
Su Yeon sat at her desk and closed her eyes. After about five seconds, she opened her eyes and started doing her work.
Sometime later, Manager Kang came to check up on the interns. Some were working under the existing employees and some were doing their assigned work. He started asking them if they are facing any difficulties.
