Yura's unlucky day continued into the next day, but she seemed to have a bit of luck. Rather than the problem that happened to drag on, Yura decided to immediately contact the celebrity. His strength as a popular person can of course be detrimental to Yura if her fans find out. Moreover, a handsome person like him must have a lot of crazy fans.
The girl had called Jung Hyunjin's business card, but the number was connected to his manager. Famous people certainly can't give their numbers carelessly.
The manager just said that she still had to wait, because the artist was currently flying to Paris for a few days. Hearing that Yura breathed a sigh of relief, at least for the next few days she wouldn't be bullied by that person.
Because Yura's first interview failed, the girl chose to help her grandmother sell at the shop until she got the next job call.
The girl works diligently and is enterprising, always smiling and friendly to all customers. Because Yura can already be said to be a beautiful adult woman, not a few customers often tease her and sometimes even go too far because they use fun words.
This was enough to make the grandmother worried, moreover Yura helped until late at night even though her grandmother already had a worker. Because the grandmother's shop is open until midnight and usually the ones who stop by the shop are adult men and women who sometimes like to drink too much.
"It's been three days, why are you still here? What's your work call?" asked the grandmother to her granddaughter who was wiping the customers' tables vigorously. It was almost midnight, the shop was also about to close. Yura still helps the grandmother, even though she has been told to go home first.
"No grandma's call yet, so I'll be helping out here for a while, so please don't kick me out."
"It's not that Grandma doesn't like being helped. But, Grandma doesn't like that ignorant men often bother you here."
"Ah, those uncles, huh? As long as they don't make physical contact, let it be Grandma. Besides, Grandma can't work while I'm just relaxing at home. So while waiting for work calls, I will still help here."
Yura smiled behind her tired face. While the grandmother just sighed, a hard-working girl like Yura would be difficult to advise. But secretly the old woman smiled. She was proud of Yura, the girl grew very well even beyond the expectations of her grandmother.
"Did you know? After you decided to move to Taiwan, those young men still come here often."
Yura, who was tidying up the plate and glass rack at that time, stopped her activities for a moment. Her grandmother's words made Yura's brain catch a conversation that would re-ignite her past. But she chose not to respond, the girl returned to tidying the plates and glasses. Meanwhile, the grandmother continued to speak.
"They've been here several times. Even a young man named Taewoo has also come here twice. But when Grandma asked if he was looking for you, the young man chose to leave. After that, Grandma then moved to a selling location and they never came again."
Yura still didn't answer, but that didn't mean she didn't hear. It's just that Yura doesn't know how to comment, Yura has decided to forget what happened in her past.
Although in her small heart Yura was quite surprised to find Taewoo had come looking for her. Yura thought Taewoo still hated her because she used to hide the truth about Minho's illness at that time.
Yes, Taewoo was once furious with her, even Yura didn't have time to say anything when she left Zenn School. She hadn't forgiven her yet. The last time Yura saw Taewoo was when Minho's funeral was held.

The day that Yura had to pay for her wrongdoing to Jung Hyunjin had arrived. The girl is now standing in a classic and luxury camera shop at a metropolitan crossroads in Seoul.
Just looking at the place, the girl could already judge that the people who came to this area must have deep pockets. Yura looked at the clothes she chose today, too casual and casual. Even the employees who were there continued to stare at his appearance non-stop.
Not long after, a black SUV pulled up in front of the shop. The situation which was originally normal and quiet suddenly became crowded and chaotic. Yura was amazed to see the girls who suddenly shouted while carrying long cameras running towards the car. Even though Yura didn't see where the girls were hiding.
"Jung Hyunjin!"
Shouts echoed as the girls shouted at each other, they scrambled to get to the car when the door opened. However, several bodyguards immediately blocked firmly so that a tall man with white skin and wearing a full black suit could step freely into the shop.
Jung Hyunjin. The man had come. Yura, who was still standing in front of the shop, couldn't help but stare. Well, this guy is handsome. No wonder the fans are so crazy about it.
But seeing the lives of these celebrities made Yura feel cramped and pitiful. They barely have a private life to enjoy on their own, as fans and paparazzi follow them wherever they go.
Yura who was still lost in thought was not aware that a crowd had filled the front of the shop. The girls pushed each other and made the atmosphere even more chaotic. Yura swayed along, pushed here and there until she finally fell and hit the shop door made of clear glass. Right in front of Jung Hyunjin's footsteps.
The loud noise became a spectacle for a moment. Jung Hyunjin, who was about to enter the shop, paused for a moment, then took off his sunglasses. He squinted as he looked uncomfortably at Yura who was still kneeling while groping her aching head.
"Ugh..." She groaned.
"Indeed, you are a clumsy girl."
*****
Not long after, Yura was sitting on a luxurious sofa in a room. She had received first aid because her forehead was scratched and blue from the impact. Luckily the glass wasn't broken. If so, Yura was unlucky.
And now she was sitting facing the celebrity man. And it turns out she is the owner of this camera shop.
There was no conversation between the two of them. Yura just sat awkwardly with a bent face. She didn't like this situation, let alone seeing Jung Hyunjin's face. Yura was still annoyed at being teased as a careless girl. While the man was busy with some papers in front of him.
"You don't want to say anything?" Hyunjin asked after fifteen minutes of silence. "I hope you haven't forgotten why I told you to come here."
"I didn't forget. So how much compensation do I have to pay?" said Yura in a curt tone.
Even so, in her heart, it was quite hard to imagine how much the compensation would be because the camera was very expensive. Before coming here Yura had time to find out on the internet. And sure enough, she almost fainted when she saw the price of the camera.
Hearing Yura's slightly cocky tone of voice made Hyunjin laugh sarcastically. The man then took something from the drawer, took out a piece of paper, and immediately brought it in front of Yura.
"You can read it for yourself. I even flew straight to Paris to fix the camera."
Yura's hands trembled as she grabbed the paper. Her heart skipped a beat as her eyes and lips began to trace line after line of writing on it. Until finally her eyes bulged almost out.
"Ten million won?" Yura shouted in disbelief.
"That's right. I bought the camera from an auction in Paris. Since it was rare and there was only one, I managed to win it for 61.660. 332 won. Because of the damage, I had to fly back to Paris because that's the only place I can fix it. From there you can I'll conclude for myself how much the loss is right? But since I also pleaded guilty that day, I'll let you pay half of it."
Hyunjin's words that rolled like a train made Yura even more breathless. Half of it, it's the same as having to pay five million won more. How could she have that much money, especially now that she is still unemployed?
"You're crazy. Don't trick me okay? How can a camera be that expensive?" Yura exclaimed who was still trying to deny it.
"How dare you say I cheated?"
"Sure. That doesn't make any sense at all. You're trying to trick me and ask for more compensation when there's no way it would cost that much to repair."
"I've already shown the evidence in front of you, so don't dodge it. A girl like you doesn't know brand and class stuff. But at least try to use your brain. If you want to run away, I won't take the risk."
"You're threatening me?"
"No. I was holding you accountable, but you called me a fraud. I wouldn't be surprised if you ran away instead."
It's really bad luck. Yura swallowed her saliva many times while racking her brain. She squeezed her cold fingers. Running away wasn't in her nature, after all this man couldn't possibly let herself off the hook either. Giving just half the price should have Yura been grateful. But half the price is also not a small nominal and easily obtained by someone like her.
"Okay. I apologize in advance for breaking your camera. I'm also not going to run away from responsibility. But, can you give me some relief? I'll pay for this in installments, but after I get a job."
Yura's face was not as arrogant as before, instead, it looked pitiful. But this was not her weapon to melt the man, she was truly confused and sorry.
Hyunjin himself watched with an unsure face. The man was still sitting with a probing gaze until he finally stomped his foot which made Yura gasp at once.
"Okay, I agree as long as you pay off your debt."
Yura suddenly smiled, her gloomy face almost replaced with sparkling eyes until she heard the man continuing his sentence.
"But, I want you to do something for me."
"You mean?"
"I'll tell you later. Now give me your cell phone number!"
