"You look dashing today, sir," said Yuna as Park Jun walked towards his team.
"You guys are looking great too." Park Jun replied with a smile.
"Why are you late? The ceremony ended a long time ago. You even missed the president's inauguration speech." Mr. Kim asked with a nagging tone.
"I am sorry. Actually, I had a personal matter to attend to in the morning. And I also got jammed in traffic."
"Thankfully, no one asked about you. Especially the senior manager. Otherwise, today will be a nightmare for you." Said Yuna, looking around.
Aliz is a top cosmetic and fashion company with multiple branches around the world. Today, Aliz is celebrating their 75th year with a party hosted by their president, Park Bon Seo. This party is held in a lecture hotel called Gagam, which is also one of the President Park businesses.
Park Yijun looked around him. This place is filled with the most important and powerful people, and Aliz employs them. This is also a place where people try to make contacts. President Park has three kids with his wife, who also belongs to a prestigious family of businessmen. Their first son, who is mostly the first choice for the next president position, is working as director of Aliz; his sister, who is next in line, is working in the position of Aliz clothing line head; and their third child, Park Bon Hwa, is the head of cosmetics and accessories. Park Yijun and his team are working under him.
"Sir, are you not going to greet others?" asked Yuna, mostly telling him to meet others.
Yi Jun looked at them, trying to say something.
"Yes, we have already greeted others," said Yuna.
Park Yijun turned to his left and approached senior manager Kim.
"Do you think he will be fine?" Sumi asked with a worried voice.
"Ya, he will be fine. He may not like to interact with the superiors, but when it is needed, he is good with it." Mr. Kim shared his thoughts with his teammates.
As Park Yi Jun moved to another table where his superiors were standing, he looked to the left side, where President Kim and others were standing. His family is standing beside him with other directors.
As he was discussing their new product with other team managers, suddenly his eyes stopped at his front. The president and the directors are coming to them as they were doing with other tables. As the director started to talk to them, he stood quietly there with a smiling face. He looked at Park Bon Hwa, who was standing beside the director with an emotionless face. Just like always, handsome. He wore a black suit today with a black tie, and his hair is styled backwards, neat and clean, just like always. Sharp eyes and broad shoulders. Just like a lion in a jungle. His presence is overwhelming.
As soon as the party ended, Park Yi Jun came out of the hotel with others. He moved towards the parking area. When he reached the underground area, it was crowded with people. He waited in his car until he could start it. As he was looking around the area, his eyes got stuck in a small group. It was Park Bon Hwa and his friends, who are cheabols just like him.
"born with golden spoons..." Yi Jun mumbled with an annoying sound. As soon as he said this, his eyes met with park bon hwa. He got shocked and moved his head to his right side, avoiding his superior.
.....................
Park Yi Jun got out of his bathroom after a shower, feeling refreshed in his pyjamas. He dried his hair, grabbed his phone from the dining table, and lay down on his sofa with a long sigh.
"haaaaa......."
He read through his messages and replied to one of the messages from his best friend with a dead smile on his face.
Jun Seo: How about going tomorrow for a blind date? My colleague keeps asking about you.
Yi Jun: Who?
Jun Seo: I showed you her picture last time. That long black-haired girl. Don't you remember?
Yi Jun: Ya. But, dude, I don't want to.
Jun Seo: Why????? 😫😫😧
Yi Jun: No time. Too busy
Jun Seo: Ya, are you still thinking about your cheating ex-girlfriend? Just move on.
Yi Jun:🖕
Jun Seo: 😄😑 Are you seriously not going?
Yi Jun: No.
Jun seo: It's your loss. She is a beauty.🖐
Yi Jun put his phone aside, put both hands on the back of his head, laid down, stretched his body, and stared into the ceiling. He thought about his past. He was always popular. school, college, and even in company. He had a couple of relationships. But it always ended with bad feelings. last was two years ago. She was really beautiful, and she did a decent job. Yi Jun truly loved her. He even thought about settling down with her for the rest of his life. But one day, he found out that she was cheating on him with one of her colleagues. It was really hard for him to get out of those memories.
"IS THERE ANY REAL LOVE IN THIS WORLD? Can I ever experience true love? Is there anyone who will love me?" His mind clouded with these questions, his heart pounded with suffocating pain, and the corners of his closed eyes felt tears flowing down.
