"So why are you here, dressed up so early?" Kamou asked.
"I wanted to see you before leaving for work."
"Something important you wanted to talk about?" Kamou asked looking at his face.
Juho thought about what happened last night. Something about it was bothering him, he wasn't sure what to say. Kamou was acting weird, lying to him, something was not right. Juho hesitated a bit before finally speaking.
"Kamou, are you okay?"
Kamou looked up at him, as simple as the words sounded, they gave so much comfort to her. She had someone who cared, she smiled at him.
"Yes, I am."
"You know you can tell me if something is bothering you. I am here for you."
Juho looked at her with his doe eyes, filled with adoration. Her smile failed to fool him; he could see through it. No matter how hard he tried to reason, he wasn't convinced everything was fine. Juho didn't wanted to force her into telling him about it, he knew how she was, it would only make things worse. He decided to stay put for the time being since the situation seemed under control.
"Aren't you getting late for work?" Kamou said realizing Dara would be up soon. "You should go now."
"But I just came now."
"Sorry, I have work to do. Go now." she said, literally pushing him towards the door.
Juho was kicked out of the apartment, the door shut in front of him. He stood there looking at the door for a while before walking away. 'I need to do something about it.'
Kamou almost jumped seeing her sister behind her. "Yaaa.. You scared me."
"What are you doing standing there in the corned like a ghost?" Kamou shouted.
"You tell me, who was that guy?" Dara teased.
"Guy? Which guy? Nobody was there, I came back from my morning walk."
"Stop lying, I heard you both talking."
"Ohh.. You did." Kamou said, her head hung low. Now she has to tell Dara about Juho.
"Was he your boyfriend?"
Kamou's face went red, she blushed, smiling awkwardly. She didn't have to say another word, Dara was old enough to understand.
"Stop bushing like a high schooler, you are way past that age." Dara remarked. "You know I am in college now; you can share these things with me."
Kamou was taken aback by her words, she looked up at her baby sister and patted her head. 'Yes, she has grown too fast for me to notice.'
"I am hungry, let's continue talking while breakfast." Dara said walking into the kitchen.
Kamou and Dara sat down to have breakfast. It was Dara's first time visiting Kamou's apartment. Kamou had rented it recently after the release of her first drama. Both sisters were busy, they hardly had time to hang out often.
"You seem happy." Dara said out of nowhere.
"I heard you conversation earlier, I am sorry I didn't mean to. He really cares about you; you should be nicer to him." Dara continued.
"Yes, I am happier now because I have him."
"So, what's his name?"
"Park Juho."
"You mean.. You mean Park Juho, the famous idol. Really? You are dating him." Dara chocked on her food.
Kamou laughed, remembering Gina. Gina and Dara reacted in the same way hearing about Juho.
"It just happened." Kamou said not sure how to respond.
"Does anyone know about this?" Dara asked.
"No. We are keeping it secret for the time being, we just started dating two months back."
"Big sister you know girls at my college would envy me so much if they got to know my sister is dating their god. Women are crazy about him; you'll need to work hard." Dara said.
A small sigh escaped Kamou's lips as her sister started fangirling over her boyfriend. 'I am aware about his popularity, but this is just too much. Should I treat him with more courtesy?'
'Nahh.. God, Idol, I don't care whatever he is; he seems like a usual guy to me. I won't change the way I am; he chose me this is what he gets.' she decided.
Kamou dropped Dara to her college, she had a meeting with the authorities there. She talked to them for some time. Making sure that her sister was safe, she left the campus. Kamou got into her car, her face covered with a mask. At a distance a man hiding in the shadows was keeping an eye on her, observing her.
*****************************
In the evening Kamou returned home from her agency. The premiere of her movie was in three days, on Saturday evening. Her team was discussing her schedule with her, she and Taehee had to make appearances at multiple places. She had to report to the agency again tomorrow as there were some offers for new projects that she needed to discuss with the higher ups.
After her bath she slipped into her night gown. Sitting in front of the mirror she carried out her night time routine. Just then someone rang the doorbell. Kamou went to the door to check. She opened the door to find one of Juho's staff member standing in front of her. The woman bowed a little greeting her.
"Sir has sent this package for you." she said holding out a big package.
"You sure this is for me. It's not my birthday today." Kamou looked at her confused.
"Yes madam, Juho sir ordered me to give this to you. Here I have a note from him." The woman said taking a paper out of her pocket.
"Okay, I'll talk to him." Kamou said talking the package and note from her. "Thank you."
The lady left as soon as her work was over. Kamou went inside her apartment, closing the door behind. She kept the heavy package on the table and read the note.
'I heard the premiere is on this Saturday, I won't be there.
But I felt like spoiling you.
It was my first time buying something for a girl, I hope you like it.
And I am taking you out tomorrow night, wear the white one.'
