CHAPTER 1 "Deja Vu"
It feels like yesterday when I had no choice but to fly to Namibia for g mother's funeral, it pained me as I left Korea without saying my goodbyes to Yeong. Hope he is waiting patiently for me so we keep our promise of 'Etuhole POV' Etuhole has grown into a beautiful, sassy lady with an outstanding fashion sense, her walk is well-calculated yet thrilling. All she is thinking of is meeting Yeong and surprising him but she calmed herself and decided to settle in her apartment first, freshen up and meet him just the next day. Finally, it's forenoon Etuhole is preparing herself for work all excited about meeting MR Jung ( Yeon-Seok and Yeong's's father) and she planned during her lunch break she would meet Yeong and finally surprise him. She got to the office, and walks to the reception to seek directions to MR Jung's office, there she meets Kim Cha-won. "Hello my name is Etuhole, I am here to meet MR Jung." to to " Oh, yes he is expecting you, turn on your left, and walk straight I am sure you will be to see his office as it has a tag with his name on it." " Well than you for time, you are one benevolent lady, do you mind if I get your name?" " no, not all Kim Cha-won and you are one beautiful lady" " Thank you, you are beautiful yourself. Bye" as she walks following the direction given to her at the reception, finally standing by the office of MR Jung she knocks as a voice inside told her to enter. She walks in and couldn't believe her eyes so she blinked twice to make sure she is not suddenly seeing things, but it was of no use as Yeong stood there with an expressionless face, she strides towards him but he holds out his right hand and stopped her, though Yeong stopping her shocked her she finally spoke " Yeong it's your Erusaert, surprise!". " I am the least surprised, I knew you were coming as I am the one that hired you and you are not here to surprise me or anyone else but you are here to work." Etuhole surprised and shocked by his reaction, she blinks back the tears in her eyes "Its me Etuhole, what's wrong remember I came here 6 years ago with my dad and we...." Yeong cut her short preventing her from continuing " You are here to work not to tell me about my past and I know exactly what misfortunes I encountered in my past THINGS NOT WORTH REMEMBERING." Etuhole flabbergasted by his reaction she could not hold her tears back any longer. CHAPTER 2 "Bleeding Heart" Standing there perplexed and feeling numb she still could not believe her world just crush before her in a few second, the fate and destiny she came for is no where in her reach all she found is an empty and cold fate realizing this she took a few step back registering in what Yeong just said with a heavy heart she wiped her tears and stood strong and firm "Sorry sir, I must have mistook you for someone Sir' if its not to much to ask can I know for my job description and my office?" " You will work as my assistant, your job is to help me with my pile of work, to make work easy for me, attend meetings with me if necessary and travel with me when needed. Your office is next door." "Thank you sir, if you please excuse me I will be in my office adjusting myself. If you need anything I am at your service." "You are excused MS Shidiue" She got in her office, closed the door and could not handle it anymore and immediately started crying her eyes out " this must be nightmare and it will pass." consoling herself she stood up from behind the door, set at her table and started blending in her work. whereas Yeong sustartssy start feeling heartbroken as he has flashes of Etuhole crying, he went to her office just to make sure she is okay. He knocks at her office and she asks him to enter, to his surprise she was busy and looking just fine " Do you have work for me?" she asked with such a calm face but I could still see how hard she is trying to hide her pain she's being stoic. All I did is ask her to make me some coffee which I could have asked her to make just by calling her but I wanted to see for myself how she was doing. A few minutes later she knocks at my office, I allowed her to come in, and boy oh boy I could not take my eyes off of her she has grown into a sexy, sophisticated woman only her voice brought me back to earth "Hereis your tea sir." "Yes thank you. Can you please go through these papers for me and make corrections of what is wrong in there." "Yes sir and you are welcome." she goes to her office a few hours later brought back the papers I asked her to correct and went back to her. Work went by so fast, knock-off time, I pack everything I needed to take home in a jiffy wanting to see her even if it's from a distance, I do not want her to think she has the upper handororvea a strongholoverververer moverer There she was laughing with her co-workers what a site when they notice me stand and look at them, Chin-Mae walks up to me slap me on my left side shoulder and said " You seem mesmerized by her site, if you love that much why not just go to her kiss and makeup make babies and name them after me (giggles) ." his my best friend and knows everything about me but he can be a pain as he says whatever that comes to his mind. With that said I hold him tight and walk with him to leave having to engage in any conversation with my workers, anything to avoid Her but with Chin-Mae as my best friend and that is close to impossible. He stood just where Etuhole and the rest of the workers were standing and spoke on my behalf without discussing anything with me " Well guys today is one of those days our boss feels rather generous, he just offered to pay for our dinner with drinks included and not only that but he is tagging along." everyone shocked that they became silent as the grave very creepy yes but did I have a choice he made sure I played along so I agreed " Yes, big man here thought it was a great idea need me and oh well I think he might just be right." they all looked at me flabbergasted but nod in agreement I whisper in Chin-Mae ear " you will pay for this" I say this gritting my teeth, he smileslesockily and respond " That will happen if I allow you to." The fact she stood there as my presence memeansssothing to her kind of hurts. Chin-Mae asked everyone who have no car to drive with her and asked Etuhole to drive with me but she refuse by saying " I would not be so comfortable unless two of our co-workers join me as well" Cha-won agreed and joined us, the drive was silence and I am so glad we have reached our destination, her sitting next to me was like a cut straight to my heart but this is just one of the things I have to put up with. we ordered just as we were busy with Etuhole's welcome dinner, I spot her but how did she know I was there invited her she strode to our table and stood right next to me "Hey Yeong" All I could do is nod " Hello everyone/ sorry for bothering you the guy I Cha Ji-Yoon, Yeong fiancé." my eyes where on Etuhole hearing this she spit out the drink she was busy drinking with pain all over her face. CHAPTER 3 "The Dark Cloud" I have been waiting for this face, full of pain just like I felt and endured five years ago when she left with no goodbye nor any care in the world for the promise we made to each other, that no matter what she wont leave without me knowing but all she did was up and leave like I meant nothing but her pain feels like a cut to my heart, " Are you okay MS Shidiue?" she nods, stood up just when I though she could be going to the bathroom to clean herself she walks up to me, grab me by my arm acting like its just us not caring about her co-workers " I need to talk to you now." " Is everything okay?" I asked once more she looked at me with furious eyes and I decided to follow her but Ji-Yoon tried to stop us " Well hello that's my fiancé." "And?" I knew their exchange was not going to end well so I just asked Ji-Yoon to sit while I go outside with Etuhole. Finally outside she holds me by my collars look me straight in the eyes "You have some audacity, who do you think you are? how dare you?" " Can you say what you actually mean, do not ask question leaving me to guess what you actually what you actually want to say" She looks at me stunt by my respond " Right, are not already engaged to me or are you meaning to marry us both" I looked at her for a moment and laughed " I am getting married just not to you, is there anything you want to know before I get back to my fiancé?" Shaking me while holding my collar tears flowing and stuttering Bu, but, but we made a promise an oath that we will not marry anyone else no matter what happens between us, how could you let go and forget everything else just like that WHY, just why?" her voice cracking full of pain. I removed her hands from my collars " Don't you ever touch me ever again, you lost that right five years ago when you left me and all those promises behind and went back to your country with no goodbye not even a letter. you are the one who broke everything five years ago." " What? It's not like I left willingly, I left for my mom's burial and you know the pain one endures when one loses a parent, you lost your mom too." "Don't go there, don't you dare try to justify yourself with that when I lost my mom I did not forget about people in my life nor have I broken any promises you did, the least you could have done is left a letter but no I was not even worth that." She try to convince me otherwise but I stopped her and told her my fiancé was inside waiting for me and unlike her I do not break my promises with that said I walked back inside with a heavy heart but I too want her to feel and endure the pain I went through. Just like that, my whole world came crashing down. He walked away from me not wanting to listen to reason, I wanted to walk inside and hit him on the head just in case his brain need some repositions but I still did not want to explain myself to anyone. Just as I was walking from the restaurant lost in my thoughts, I bumped into someone " Sorry I didn't mean to' but the stranger seeseemede surprised seeing me, he is acting like he knows me and out of curiosity I just have to ask " Do you know me sir?" "Yes I know you Etuhole, its Tae Kim Jung-Seon." CHAPTER 4 "The Silver Lining" Just when she thought her world has crushed, something great and unexpected happened, she bumped into someone from the past someone who gave her joy" It's me Jung remember me?" he looks at me hoping I would remember, without any second thoughts I hugged him while embracing him I needed this to calm me down. Surprised he asked " Is everything okay or am I seeing things" "Everything is not okay, but I am sure glad I met someone I know plus I could do with a huge if you don't mind?" "No I don't mind plus I barely receive any hugs, you and I both can use this hu Jung-son has always had a sense humour or which is why he is good company. " I am so glad I ran into you today...." before finishing my sentence there he stood with fiancé and my co-workers staring daggers at us. I cleared my throat at that moment Jung let go and asked if I was okay for the third time and I told him to look toward the restaurant entrance he do just that and the first person he noticed is Yeong, he immediately looked at me "He is here?" " Yes he just happens to be my boss and the lady on his right is his fiancé, Jung-son looks at me astound. They walk up to us and as usu, Al Chin-Mae always has something to say and is sassy just about anything. " It has been quite a while since we saw each other, how are young-soon they all exchanged greetings including Yeong that's when Cha-won asked if Jung-seon was my boyfriend, before I could answer he just beats me to it " Well that is exactly what I am hoping to be." turns and winks at me, I flashed a smile on one side of my lips and I could see the annoyance on Yeong face, it is clear as daylights but I didn't ponder over it as I am Jung-Seon company. Cha-won asks me if I am driving back with them but I said no Jung-seon is dropping me off, we thathencused ourselves with Jung holding my hand. I knew he held my hand to provoke Yeong and for that I am grateful. I told Jung about how things are now between Yeong and me and he could not believe it but he said the things I needed to headon'tot hold yourself responsible nor should you think you are alone, now you got me and I will be ur disposal anytime you cant handle somethings on your own." Relieved I thank him and told him I am beaten I will invite him for a cup of coffee some other day. He agreed with that I kissed him on the cheek and told himsafesssasasasasasasasasasasasasasasasasafesasasasafelysasafesafesasafesasafelylyylyyive safe. I took my time to get to my apartment, I felt someone following me so I turn just to be surit'ssts safe but there he was Yeong fury all over his face as strideswards me. What could I have done this time not even giving myself self chance to think he stops in front of me and Ic stariintooto my eyes like a blood thirst. mal. CHAPTER 5 "Thin Line Between Love And Loathe" Not giving me a chance to brebreatheeoperly nor ask anything of him, he grabs me by the shoulder with one hand on my neck as if he is about to choke me. "This is exactly how I am feeling right now and I wish I could h with it Buchanan you are not even worth that, all you did was pretend to be hurt but you weren't were you? if you were you would not have found a replacement for me so soon. It's true leopards do not change their spots." Astonished by all his claims I said nothing but turned to walk away but he stops me. "You are good at walking away, I am not one bit surprised" he said. "But I am surprised, very surprised and from now on the only relationship that exists between us is of a boss and worker, meaning I do not owe you any explanation or what so ever. oh and don't you ever lay your filthy hands on me." Boldly I said and walked to my apartment, got inside and told myself he is not the man I fell in love with and that he is not worth any tears. After freshening up I took out a whole container of ice cream and devour it. Yeong (POV) After confronting her which didn't go well, I drove back to my house freshened up and took a beer but I could not stop myself from thinking about her he acting like I am the one who is actually in the wrong while she is the one who did not consider me as her fiancé years back, if she did she could not have left. we, 'llallr relationship just change from love to loathe how unique. I could no longer take it so I decided to rather go to bed before my brain explodes and with that I went to bed. The next day at work Etuhole does everything to ignore me its as if I do not exist any longer I kept flooding her with a lot of work hoping she would complain but she did no such thing. Time went by very fast, and the next thing I am seeing is people leaving, that is when I looked at the time and knewknkknock-office. I pack everything I needed and rushed out to catching beats me to it as he walks to her with a bouquet of different roses, she smiles as she accepts the bouquet and the only thing I am thinking is wiping the smile she is wearing right now for that fool but I did not want to make a fool of myself. I walk past them pretending not to be hurt and just disappeared. Etuhole (POV) Throughout today I simply focused on my work and the fact that I have Jung making things in my life seem easy wowon'tstuck in a past that is doing me no good. " Thank you for the bouquet and for stopping by." " I am not stopping by but I came to pick you up, you owe me coffee remember?" "Wow aren't you an impatient one but since you are already here lets do just that." just as we were leaving the building, Yeong came out of the blue grab me by arm when Jung asked what he was doing, he turns face Jung and said, "I am taking my woman is there anything else you like to know." CHAPTER 6 "Unbearable Pain" Yeong statement has left Etuhole stunt and heart broken as she just can not believe the man holding her by the arm is the same man she fell in love six years ago. The mapromisednce promise to grow into the man she would be proud of and desire just crushed every bit of respect and love for him. Etuhole asks Yeon to let go but he did not let go instead he asks her why he should let go. "I want you to let go now si if that is not too much to ask considering you are holding me against my will." "I st want to have a word with you, it won't take long." " The only thing you can talk to me about is work and at this time I doubt we can do that so I suggest you wait tomorrow, you are invading my space. If you please excuse me sir I have a date to get to." She walks away leaving Yeong inline dabbing Jung by the arm " Shall we?" " Yes we may feisty lady." she giggles at the comment made by Jung. Even though she is in the company of Jung, her thoughts are elsewhere and without knowing tears start to flowers tears "EaEarflowersle are you alright, what did you and Yeong discuss?" he asks with worry on his face. "Nothing much I just lay my boundaries with him and it hurts to know just now what type of man I fell for, calling me his woman while he is engaged. Today he did not just break my heart but he gave me the title of the other woman in his life, what should I do now that I am being suffocated?" Jung learns and gave her a huhhug conto to sole her " First thing first you need a hug that is what I am here for and secondly a patient man who is always there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on plus it's his loss. I know you are hurt but do not let him get the better of you, just don't let him win." "You are right, I won't an inconsiderate man like him get the best of me. I am sorry but can we do this some other time and just call it a night." "Absolutely, just don't think too much and go to bed. Things will fall into theirs the right places before you know it we will be laughing about this." "From your mouth to God's e they s are heaven sent." Kissing her goodnight on her cheek "Goodnight to you too After Jung left her apartment, she immediately started contemplating all her sad, heartbreaking encounters with Yeong and she just could not hold her tears back. she cried the whole night. It's finally morning when she woke up her eyes are all puffy with dark circles. She thought of not going to work but on second thought she decides to rather go. She wore make-up and shades to hide the redness in her eyes which shows she has been crying. Yeong (POV) I could not sleep all night just wondering what sShedadhad n up to do with him, I know I have hurt her but she is doing worse why is she acting like a victim? He decide to call his brother for some beer after work and he agreed to come. Yeong thought if he tell his older brother about what has been happening in his life maybe just maybe he get mad at him but give him good advice. Hcleansan up well and goes to work. Getting to work henoticedticed that Etuhole is wearing shades, he wanted to know why without offending her and making her furious so he decided to give her the task of cleaning his office. She agreed to do just that even though she is not hired to do that. She mopped the floor and just when she was busy dusting someone enters not giving her time to warn her that the floor is still wetcausinge her to fall. Etuhole rushes to Cha Ji-Yoon to apologize and help her get up but she stops her from doing that immediately." Don't you dare touch me or try to pretend you are u must be happy this happened to me aren't you?" Cha Ji-Yoon shout can be heard throughout the office causing people to gather around Yeong office. No,, it,'s what you think, you didn't give me a chance to warn you, how is that my fault? "You have enough reason to hurt me, I mean I am engaged to the man you came here for the man you left behind five years ago. Were Yoyourgo hurt when you found out he has moved on?" Everyone was flabbergasted by Cha Ji-Yoon revaluation about Yeong and Etuhole past relationship. "Don't make this personal and remember this is my work place plus I tried to apologize but you wouldn't let me. What more do you want?" "This is your work place but my fiancé owns its all making it partially mine and if you want to apologize go ahead but on your knees." CHAPTER 7 "Check-mate" Things in her life keep getter worse just when she is molding the broken pieces back together something always shatter them back to pieces. This time her dignity is on the line will Etuhole do as instructed by Cha Ji-Yoon? Pain and hurt written all over her face she looks at Yeong but he just stood there frozen not saying anything. Cha Ji-Yoon walks up to Etuhole holds her by the arm and asks her if thought Yeong will stop her, and remind her who he is engaged to and he will surely choose the side of the woman he loves not a blur past he can barely remember. She triBabargainsithith Ji-Yoon to accept her apology without her having to kneel but to no avail as she threatens her. "Listen brown girl if you don't apologize now you might have to do it at the station, which do you prefer?" Pretending to be calling the police just to corner Etuhole into apologizing "Do not go say I wasn't so nice, I did give you options. Here goes nothing." The workers watching everything go down are shocked by everything, they just can not believe what they are witnessing. Finallytuhole agreed to apologize "Fine let's do it your way." Just as she was about to get on her knees someone stops her and he got on his knees instead and apologized in her place. Everyone is stunt including Etuhole but Ji-Yoon is not pleased one bit. "Jung when did you get here, I mean what are you doing here?" asks Etuhole, ignoring everything around her she hugs Jung. "Does this mean you are happy to see me or just glad I got here on time?" "Both, what would I do without you?" Jung holds her face making sure she is looking at her "Nothing, and I am glad I got here on time." Their interaction is disturbed by Yeong "This is an office not a hotel were you can shamelessly whatever you are busy with." "So you have a voice after all" exclaims Jung, as he let go of Etuhole and approach Yeon "?I thought you don't speak at all, I am glad you pushed her out your life because you don't deserve her. Is this how you run your office?" Yeon holds Jung by his collar but Etuhole stops him from doing anything to him. "Jung can you please excuse me I have something to say to MR Jung Yeong real quick, wait for me in my office please?" He agrees and leave "Well the show is over now get lost." but they continued standing like they didn't hear anything Etuhole said, pushing her moreover thvevegetateses you Ji-Yoon." "This is my fiancé office and I am not going anywhere." " You better leave or I will give you a reason to call the cops, for the last time get lost." That said and done everyone leaves including Ji-Yoon. "I want you to listen to me real good because I will say to you nowon't repeated in the future" Just when he was about to interrupt Etuhole holds her hand up stopping him from saying anything "Don't you dare, I gave you so many opportunities to say whatever you wanted but not this time. what happened here today should not have happened this time you went beyond and above and for that, I will never forgive you, from this day I will consider you just another person I was so unlucky to have met nothing else but a bad memory which I will soon replace with the good once and do not go convincing yourself that I am running again this time you pushed me away on your own. From you I got nothing but pain, you should expect my resignation letter for I can't stand the sight of you anymore. Hope the result of the game of chess is what you expected CHECK-MATE." CHAPTER 8 "Know When You Are In The Wrong" Finally she was away from all that pushed her miles back, the person who has done the most damage to her will soon be nothing buthistolobut histologithatatt hatt Etuhole thought. She finally dectotothat'sterrong does does and not look back, Lucky for her she has good company from Jung the multi-millionaire who is capable and ready to go beyond and above. Will she be able to forget her past and will she be willing to give Jung a chance? Yeong POV
Since he got home he has been paying Etuhole word to him and the fact decided on of ReResecided only to put up with it all name not flying by fast so his older broth tour com toes the get-together they planned earlier in the mordecidese to workout to divert his mind to something else that is not Etuhole. 2h32 minutes his phone beeps, its a message from his older brother informing him that his driving from the hospital. With that, he goes googogogoes ggoesgoessosome someeeofoods have hishishashishd not tell his brother the reason for calling him over and he is a little nervous about how his brother will react to what he has to tell him or how he will respond after hearing how messed up big time. 15 minutes later someone rings the bell and Yeong rush over as his brother. "Hey there, been long since you checked up on me, hope all is well?" "All is yes and you are a grown man who can surely take care of himself plus you got Chin-Mae. I assure you I also wish I could visit you frequently but being a Doctor doesn't allow me to." Yeong moves out of the way allowing Yeon-seek to enter. "Welcome to my home even though you have been here, I just enjoy welcoming you." Yeon-Seok shows his brother the soju bottles he brought and looked at him long as reading his thoughts "I know you are thankful and why do I feel you are troubled or in trouble? What did you do this time?" "Nothing can I not invite my brother to my house when I miss him?" "Fine if you say it like that, fine" The house bell rings again and it was the delivery guy delivering the food Yeong ordered for dinner. He pays for the food and serves both himself and his brother when finally done eating they begin drinking the soju. Midway through their drinking and small talk of their childhood Yeong gather the courage he needed to talk about Etuhole to his brother. "Just before I forget Etuhole has arrived and is currently working at our company, just so you know." "She is here and didn't bother visiting us or just to let us know she is around? or did we become strangers to her? "About that I might have contributed to her not coming through." "What do you mean you are partially responsible, can you be more clear? I need detail not this guessing game." "I told him she did not matter and I was not interested in what she had to say because she just happen o be a misfortune from my past..." "Yeon-Seok cuts him short "What? you did what now?" "That's not all, I asked Ji-Yoon to pretend as my fiancé and while we were having a welcome dinner for Etuhole, Ji-Yoon happened to be at the same place as us and she introduce herself as my fiancé leaving Etuhole shocked and pained." He continued telling his tale to his brother everything including how he stood by why Ji-Yoon tried to shame Etuhole. Yeon-Seok breathed heavily while she shake his head in disagreement with everything his brother did "If the father gets to know this you are good as dead, I am disappointed in you I just can't believe you did all this to the girl that came all the way here from her country for you leaving his father, family and friends for you and that is how you welcomed her. She is right for throwing a resignation letter in your face you it." "I know I messed up big but cant you help me with her she has listenedou'llrom the hospital telling them to rush there as there are several emergencies " Excuse me, it's the hospitalit'sssf I were werehostassssstasstastasalit'ssssff to her now and make it right."
"I will have a safe one to the hospital, don't overwork yourself." "I will be safe and won't overwork myself." He walks out with a wave dismissing himself. Yeong drives to Etuhole's apartment, when he got there walks up to her door and knocks, when Etuhole open the door she was surprised to see him there. CHAPTER 9 "TILL NEVERMORE" Just when she thought she has finally done herself a favbyyy savouring all ties with Yeong someone knocked impatiently at her door. She to the door opened and got stunt as she find Yeong standing at her door smiling at her. "You?" "Yes me, I need to talk to you may I come in?" "No, you may not, you are just welcome, you can talk while you are are are there" "No, no and no I need to have a word and we are either going to do it in your house or at mine take a pick." "Fine come in then but make it quick, it's pastbedtimetedtime not know where to start but I will try to make it fast so I do not get in the way." She walks to the sofa and signals him to sit, he does just and begin with speech. "To begin with I want to apologize for the wfor acted today when Ji-Yoon tried to misbehave with you. I also want to apologize for the way I have been behaving with you recently, I just blamed you for everything without understanding you. You must have gone through the same pain when you left and brokebrokeise while you were just mourning your mom..." "You ought to be kidding me, I left 5 years ago did you just get to know this today? You know the damage is done, I would not like us to talk about spilled milk." she stands and walks to the door "If that's all you came for you are forgiven now you may leave." He just walks up to hethethere not just here to apologize but I was hoping we could work things out make upkeupkeep "Are you insane just because you replaced me easily I would be the reason why you break things off with your fiancé No sir not gonna happen." "She is not my fiancé, I just asked her to pretend to be one. I was willing to go that far to hurt you and I am sorry for being so selfish at the time you needed me." "Pretend huh! that's good at least you still had time to play house but I am not interested in you or Ji-Yoon, You have said what you came here for now listen to what I have to say." "Please just this once let'sworlet's work we lost five years ago?" "I wished you said that the day I found you in the office but you acted like you did not even know me. Your job of hurting me was successful now all I need is for you to get the hell out of my life for good please I plead with you please let me be if not I will just end up detesting you and I do not want it to get to that point, that's the least you can do for me." Not able to handle it she starts to shed tears. "Fine your wish is my command, I will leave you alone but just remember I did everything thinking you were in the wrong but not because I did not love you. I love you then, I love you now and will always love you that's my truth. Well, I guess this is goodbye." "Till nevermore Yeong, till nevermore." CHAPTER10 "NOT LETTING YOU GO"
(Yeong POV)
Heartbroken by Etuhole's words, he drown his sorrows in alcohol but to no avail as he still thought off he forth and back till he finally concluded calling her and telling he what he feels. though if he ured his heart out and apologizapologisede more things will get better and she will forgive him. He told her just how much he messed up and that g her will kill him slowly. He confessed much much muchthout her and that he will do whatever she asks of him. He promise to be a better man for her than the bitter man he was but all he got from her is a reminder of how much he has hurt her and that the damage is irreversible after saying all this she cut the cut and switched her phone off. Yeong decided to go to bed after the phone call.
The next day, he woke up and prepared for work but he needed advice from Chin-Mae. Before going to his office he went to Chin-Mae's office, the moment he entered he started already with why he went to see him without even asking how he is doing.
"Hey I need your help with Etuhole, she is determined to leave and I don't know if I should let her go or fight for her."
"I am fine thank you for asking, you are always concerned about output and my well-being, aren't you sorrysorryip my mind, but understand I have to bombard my brain with so many questions with no solution."
"You are forgiven just for today and you came to the right station but I have to ask what conclusion have you reached since you have been thinking about it so much?"
"I am thinking of letting her go, I didn't do good by her I drag her around like a puppet."
"I am so glad I am in your life, you might be good at business but with women you suck. When a woman says let her go she is tired while shedding tears that only mean she loves you and can't bear the pain."
"So?"
"Can't dump ass you fight for her that's what she wan to make her understand just how much she means to you and how much of a fool you were."
"Thank you, you are the best."
"That's why God made me your friend, I think it's fate ."He says this in a flirtatious manner stroking Yeong's hair backwards
"shoo away don't be mischievous with me, I have a meeting got to run and Etuhole is coming to collect her things, I want to be done by the time she gets here. Bye for now"
"Keep me up to date on your love life and I am glad I am of help."

Trying hard to process what Yeong just said, though part of her was relieved and happy that she will keep seeing him and by the looks of it he has changed she still put up a charade.
"No, I won'tifay hwereif ere not aren you hold me onstagegegee."
"Well don't give me ideas because I am willing to go to any extent to keep you here and in my life." just when she was about to disagree, he cuts her short as he grab the box she is carrying.
"When you process it all you know where your office is and don't worry this time I got your back." With a smack on his face, he walks away. And Etuhole follow after he left. She goes to her office. Etuhole calls Jung-seon to let him know she was unable to leave due to her contract and thinking would only be right if she didn't put up a fuss and stayed. But he was not happy hearing this and couldn't voice his opinion as she has made up her mind.
The rest of the day goes by fast with no problems when it is knock-off Cha-won invites Etuhole for a few drinks at her house and she could sleep over as the next day was the weekend, she agreed to the proposal made by Cha-won and they both took off.
Finally reached Cha-won's apartment, they got in and the first thing Cha-won said was that she want to suck all the details of what had happened and what is happening between Etuhole and Yeong.
"Did I just get tricked into coming here for food and drinks just to get sucked?"
"Well, when you are saying it that's's's why, you making me out to be a conniving monster."
"Aren't you one my darling?"

"You are welcome, just start from when you guys met till s scene the reason you resigned but still work at the same company you resigned from?"

"Cheers to that your romance is like a character out of a movie I am amused just from listening to you and I am sure you that man, who happens to be our sexy boss hearts you load that is why he is trying to make it up to you. It's good that he admitted to having been in the wrong, most men don't do that."

:Yes you will, let him create new memories and you replace rthetheewewhnewm to be a love Guru talk will have a talk with him and make things right again."

The fury on Jung's fury can be felt miles away, he steps inside the apartment of his son and set down looking at Yeong expecting answers only from him. Yeong offers him something to drink but he refused and asked me to just provide answers to his questions and nothing more than that.
"What happened is I thought she betrayed and Lied to me when she broke our promise and left but I realized just how wrong I was d hired her already, and and and made her life hell but the good news is I made her stay when she decided to quit and I told her I won't let her go."

"Fine, Here am I, what now?"

"MAKING IT OFFICIAL"
Etuhole recalls Yeong's's's statement to kill Jung-seon him what he was doing, just when he was about to hold her face Yeong stops him " Don't you dare, she is my girlfriend and I don't like when other men other than me touch her. "With hesitation no he gestured to Etuhole to walk with him.
"Jung-Seon I will call you okay promise." he agrees though he felt betrayed and used he pretends it's nothing. Everyone at work is a unit by the way their boss is acting, making Cha-won pull Chin-Mae to the side and he asks her what she thinks she is doing or if is she trying to hit on him.
"What wild dreams do you usually have all I want to know is how are they together and I don't know?"
"Neither do I and we are both their best friends."
"Exactly just how on earth, I guess this happening the weekend."
"You are right."
Yeong drops Etuhole at her apartment and told her they are going to have dinner with his dad, He asks her to wear something pretty, something that will make him stir at her all night, she asks if she could bring Cha-won to dinner, and he tells her no trouble at all as long as she makes it without Jung-Seon. He left and called his dad to arrange dinner as he is bringing his girlfriend home, his father agrees and asked him to try to invite his brother as well maybe he is free and can make it.
Time goes by very fast. They all meet at MR Jung'souse and as usual, Chin-Mae is very verbal, Etuhole meets MR Jung and Yeon-Seok for the first time since she came back to Korea. Dinner time and they all set at the table. Cha-won finds Yeon-Seok attractive and kept making small conversations with him. Dinner was a success.
After dinner, Yeong ask Chin-Mae to drive Cha-won as he is driving his girlfriend but she disagrees and ask Yeon-Seok to drive her instead, everyone is taken by surprise by how bold she is and both agreed it's a good idea.
Instead of driving to her apartment, he drove to his house and when Etuhole asked why he just told her he wants her in his bed every single night. She did not protest but agreed. To their surprise, Ji-Yoon was waiting for him at his house which made Etuhole furious.

"You better make sure I don't see that lady near you or she is dead dead dead unlike you I take my words seriously."
"There it is, finally she wore my shoes and now she knows how it feels."
"What do you mean?"
"Look at you showing ownership over me and all jealous, I heart this side of you just as much as I love you.

"Not only am I happy but I am crazy in love with him. He is my home and hiding place."
"So poetic hah, so I wanted to tell you that I am meeting your handsome brother-in-law for a date tonight hope things kick off because I am attracted to him so much I could pee myself just from looking at him."
"Yikes could you just not be so deplorable but I am sure he is attracted to you too, he could not take his eyes off you last night."
