Nova Simpson,is a 21 years old girl who moved to South Korea for further studies.She applied for a scholarship in one of the Top universities in South Korea and Thank God she got a chance. She is now studying in Korea. Nova is a black girl, so she has faced hardships as she lives in Korea but also she has experienced some good life here.
Lee Jung Hoseok is a boy from one of the Top rich families in Korea. His dad is Mr Lee Byung Hun,and his mother Madam Lee.
Hoseok has been interested in Nova since the first time she saw her in the hotel. Nova is a student but also works as a part timer, secretly since if her Institute finds out she will be suspended.
Nova has a friend whose name is Se Ra. Se Ra has a full time job at this hotel and since Nova asked Se Ra to find her a job She pleaded with her manager to hire Nova as a part time worker. That's how Nova got a Job here at Palm villa Hotel. So every after her classes Nova goes to work. She welcomes guests in the hotel,she has been doing it for a month now. While Se Ra works as a receptionist.
Today,Nova got to work as always,she welcomed guests…Later she went to the bathroom,as she was walking out,one of the Room Attenders walked and she seemed to not be okay,she rushed in the toilet.Nora was so concerned so she asked out of curiosity…
"What's wrong? You seem to not be okay.."
"Can you please get me a pad,I am seeing my periods I thought it was to come tomorrow," she answered
"okay let me go find you one,I'll be back"
Nova rushed out,she got them and returned.
"Here you go" , handing her the plastic bag with a pad.
The girl came out after taking care of herself,she thanked Nova,as Nova turned around to leave the girl cried holding her stomach.
"You're having cramps,ooh sorry,let me inform the manager that you are not okay,so you can go home today" she said as she walked towards the door.
"No! I will be fine, I don't want to lose this job. It's my third at work,what do you think they will say? They might fire me."
Nova felt sorry for this girl,she asked
"Do you have more work to do? Or are you through already?"
"I have got two rooms to clean,the guests are to enter before 10pm and what's the time now?"
" 9:20pm"
"I should go,and finish cleaning before the guests arrive"
"No,let me help you with this,settle here I will be back"
The girl gave Nova the keys of those two rooms and Nova had to take responsibility for cleaning. She cleaned the first room as fast as she could and arranged it well. She rushed to the second room checking her time. It's now 9:50pm. She entered the room and did as first as she can cleaning every part, looking at the clock it's now 10:30 pm "the guest is late, But I am through" she switched off the lights,walking out then she remembered she is not wearing her watch,she had left it in the bathroom while cleaning,she rushed back to get it.
The door is unlocked. Someone got in. He seemed to be a little bit drunk and tired. He switched on the lights, took off his clothes and walked to the bathroom covering himself with a towel.
Nova was still looking for her watch,it was nowhere to be seen "where did I put it" asking herself,she went in the shower room,finding it in the bathtub, "ouh! there you are " smiling" she heard a door open,she was surprised and decided to cover her eyes to make sure she's not seeing anything and her mouth so she won't make a sound.
That's when a Man took off his towel and used the toilet and now he is walking towards the shower room door, that's when Nova screamed "NO!"
The guy was surprised and rushed to get his towel covering his body.
"AAAGH! WHO THE HELL IS IN THERE??" He screamed. "Walk out right now," he commanded.
And now Nova slowly opened the door and stepped out looking down. She felt so embarrassed.
"A foreign lady? What are you doing here? In my room? Are you a thief?" He asked in an annoyed voice…..
(Nova lifted her face up to answer the Man)
"ummh,I am really sorry,I was helping my sick friend to clean rooms,but I forgot my watch here so I came back for it.." (folding her lips)
"Walk out,"....
"Mmh! Pardon?"
"I said walk out,right now" (he insisted)
"Oo,Thank you…" She walked towards the door very fast..
"Hold on!" She heard the guy stopping her.
"Did you see anything?" he asked
"See what? What do you mean?" (Nova asked again biting her lower lip)
"Ouh! Nothing,Go" .
Nova walked, closing the door gently, she stamped her feet repeatedly,biting her lips, screaming in a low voice,She felt embarrassed. She stored those cleaning tools and came back for the girl but she did not find her, asking around she was told that the girl left because she felt so sick.
She could not get back to work, she could not concentrate,she signed out and went home.
(Hoseok was the guy who found Nova in his room)
Scoffing,He roamed in the room,thinking of what happened a few minutes ago, But he later smiled remembering how she screamed "NO!" Hoseok laughed so loud. "What was that? has he never seen a Man with no clothes" he said to himself and continued laughing…. "Wait! She saw my precious body," he said, covering his chest with his hands. "I should ask the manager to fire her, because what if she tells all the workers here how my body looks? Ouh! They will be gossiping and laughing, " he said.
He jumped on bed, screaming covering himself with a duvet.
(The Next morning; Hoseok alives at their company, a lot of paparazzi are outside waiting to hear what he has to say about the trending news.
"Your photo and video are trending everywhere in the social media,what do you have to say?"
"What happened?" "Who do you think took those pictures?" "Who shared them on Social media?". His naked photos were trending everywhere on social media, Hoseok could not go anywhere.. No!No!...)
Hoseok was breathing heavily after waking up from that nightmare.
He stood up,walked to the bathroom to take a shower,he could still remember what happened yesterday, "what's wrong with my head,why can't I just forget about it" he said….,after dressing up he decided he is going to talk to the hotel manager about it. He sat in the lobby and thoughts couldn't stop running in his head…
"Aaagh! this won't be right, how can I tell everybody a girl saw me naked? This Will be embarrassing."
As he was still wondering what to do he heard the maids gossiping…
".... yesterday I saw that foreign girl who works as a part- timer walking out of room 345,it looked like something happened there."
"Room 345? Is that not the VIP room?..."
"Yes!,it is..and I heard that yesterday it was occupied by the son of the Billionaire.."
"Aaahhhh!!!! (Gasping)
In a whispering voice… "What if they are dating?"
"I don't think so, maybe if she just slept with her…"
"Foreign girls are very cheap,so she probably slept with her.."
They continued with assuming things, without any evidence.
At this point Hoseok was so annoyed he stood up,and faced them. "Don't you guys have any work to do? Are you so free that you have time to spread rumors? Should I call your manager?"....
The girls were ashamed and apologized, running back to doing their work.
"Aaaah,these people are so crazy." Hoseok whispered.
His manager arrived,and informed him the car was ready. He walked in the car as they were driving off. He saw the girl(Nova) . He asked his manager to stop the car, and he asked him to go bring that foreign girl. "But,sir..," "Go get her!" In a serious voice he said…
The manager rushed out and he kindly asked the girl to come with him to the car. Nova refused,that's when Hoseok lowered the car window, Nova sighed, and walked towards the Car.
"Get in," said Hoseok
Without arguing Nova got in the Car,Hoseok ordered the driver to drive away.
"Wait! Where are we going?" asked Nova
"You will see," answered Hoseok.
Nova felt so uncomfortable,she was rubbing hands. Hoseok was secretly staring at her,he was slowly admiring her,he kept smiling looking at her.
Nova could feel the guy was staring at her,and when she turned her face to look on Hoseok's side,he pretended that he was minding his own business.
The driver parked the car somewhere,with no Noise,a kind of place cool for two to talk,Hoseok asked him to get out of the car so he could give them space for them to talk.
After the driver walked out,silence occupied there for a while. That's when Nova decided to break it.
"Why did you bring Me here?"
"Well! I wanted us to talk"
"About what? I thought we were done yesterday"
"Done? Just easily like that? You saw my body without clothes and you are a stranger.."
"So? What? You mean No one has ever seen you naked before?"
"My ex did,but at least we were dating but you? I don't know you,and you easily saw my body and you think I can easily forget that?"
"Why can't you forget about it? It's not like we had s*x,why are you making it seem like a big issue? Are you afraid I might tell anyone? Trust me Not even my Best friend will know"
"what? S*x?(Scoffing) How can I trust someone I don't know? What if you tell the Media,what if you were recording me?"
"Hey!! Watch your mouth (screamed in a serious voice) I am not a pervert,why should I record your body? What is so good about it? I told you it happened accidentally,I came back for my watch,Media?Who are you by the way?"
"Me? You don't know Me? (laughing) Whoa!,"
"Why should I know you? By the way I will be late if you are done,I will be leaving now"
She said as she held the door knob.
"Hold on! hold on!, I want you to quit your job"
"What???Why?"
"I can't trust you,I can trust that you won't tell your work mates,so quit your job,"
"My financial life depends on that job, how do you expect me to live without it?"
"I will pay you…even twice the way they were paying you there"
"I don't receive money I did not work for, so I am sorry I have to reject your offer…."
"Then I will hire you,and be paying you,how is that you won't be receiving free money then"
Nova kept quiet,for a while and then answered
"I'll think about it.." opening the car door.
"I brought you here,so I'll drive you back," said Hoseok.
"No, I'll get a taxi"
"You have, one day of thinking about it,I'll be expecting your call tomorrow evening."
His manager handed Nova a business card. They drove away.
Nova managed to get a cab and she was back to Seoul. She had no lessons today,but plans with her bestie SeRa and she was a little bit late.But SeRa did not call her despite her being late, she decided to call her.
SeRa did not pick up, Nova thought she should go to her place. Maybe she wasn't feeling okay,but before she could walk out, someone was opening the door and it was Se Ra. She had a disappointed face and she walked in asking Nova if she had something to tell her,Nova denied.
"Nova,did something happen yesterday?"
"No! Nothing happened, why? Why are you asking?
"The manager asked me to tell you to stop coming to work"
"What?why?"
"That's why I was asking you,if something happened yesterday. I heard that you went to the VIP's room, Lee Jung Hoseok's room and that because he was drunk you forced him to sleep with you."
"What?!(Scoffing)ooh My God,What a bullshit"
Nova decided to explain everything that happened yesterday,she did not leave out anything.
"I knew they had the wrong idea," said SeRa…
"What do we do now? SeRa asked
"It's okay! I won't be going back there,"
"I should help you find a new job, My uncle has opened a restaurant,I will ask him to hire you"
"No! (She pulled out a business card) He said he will pay me twice"
"Who? Jung Hoseok?"
"Yeah!"....
The following day,Hoseok has been staring at his phone for a while, roaming around the room waiting for Nova's call. His manager walked in to inform him the board meeting was to start soon. But Hoseok's mind was on that phone to ring before he is to walk in the meeting room
"Sir! Sir!" the manager called him
But Hoseok's mind was occupied with other thoughts,he couldn't hear him,the manager turned around to leave and that's when he heard Hoseok calling him…
"Mr Kim!,"
"Yes! Sir…." politely he replied
"Can you call my phone?"
"Pardon!?"
"Call my phone,I wanna check something.."
Mr Kim,called….
"It's ringing,so nothing is wrong with my phone right?"
"Yes,sir"
"What about the number on the business card?"
"Yes!?,I mean what's wrong with the number on your business card Sir?"
"Are you sure it's really my phone number? Or is it my office number?"
"Both! I mean one is your hand phone number and the other one is the landline number."
"Ooh,okay"
"Sir we should be heading to the meeting room"
"Ooh,okay lead the way"
In the meeting room,Hoseok was busy staring at the phone,every time he was reminded to concentrate. The meeting ended,Hoseok got back to his office and he kept thinking why this girl wasn't calling. Speaking to himself, "It's now 12pm, we still got hours before the day ends"
It's already 11pm,Nova hasn't called Hoseok and he is so tired,he did not go home waiting. Maybe Nova would call him through the Landline. But there were no signs he asked his manager to come pick him up, they were in the car driving home, Hoseok closed his eyes trying to get some nap, that's when his phone rings he looked at the time on the screen at 11:58pm. He picked it up…
"Hello! It's Nova, the girl from the….. "Foreign girl" before Nova could finish her sentence Hoseok jumped in…
"Yeah,is the offer still available?" She asked
"I'll send you the address,my driver will pick you up"
"Okay!"
The Next morning
Nova waited at the place she was told to wait. Mr Kim picked her up and she was taken to where Hoseok was.
It was a Mansion, this was Hoseok's house. Hoseok served her tea,and he gave her a contract to sign.
(Smirking) "What's all this?" Nova asked.
"A contract,why? You don't like it?"
"Why are you taking things so seriously?"
"It involves my body,so yes it's a serious issue"
"What? That's why we need to sign contracts? This is too much. I didn't even see your body that day I was closing my eyes"
"You expect me to believe you? You screamed NO! before I walked in the shower room, why? If your eyes were closed, how did you know I was about to walk in?
"My ears were active,I could hear you walk around. How could you walk in the shower room wearing your towel?"
"You know what? I don't trust you,that's why you need to sign a contract,it's not that hard just read it and agree to it, sign it up and then we are good."
"What about me showing you my body and let's be even that way I don't want to sign this contract"
(scoffing) " Are you crazy? Anyways go ahead,go ahead and show Me,you think I am afraid?"
Nova opened her zip,taking off her sweater…
"What is she doing?....hey! Stop" covering his eyes.
"Just like how you can't stand to see somewhere naked, the same applies to me. I covered my eyes like what you are doing right now."
"It's okay,I believe you,zip it up and leave"
"I am not leaving,you said you could pay me twice,I have lost my job,and I need money, you give me a job but I'll just be a part timer."
"You were also a part timer in your previous job, why don't you find a permanent Job?"
"I am student, a scholarship student"
"They are paid for everything,why stress yourself with working part time jobs? You should concentrate on studying"
"The money is not enough for me, that's why I do part time jobs."
"At what time do you go to college?"
"It depends but mostly in the morning,and sometimes during the afternoon."
"I need someone to take care of this house sometimes when I am not around,So can you manage to do it?"
"Housekeeper? and the cleanings should I do all that?"
"You are to clean my room,you will be doing that,the rest I'll get someone to do it."
"Okay,but I won't be sleeping here everyday right?"
"You will have to sleep here twice a week."
"Okay! But I will do this work for 6 months?"
"deal"
Nova visited Se Ra,she told her about her new job and how simple it was and how much she would earn.SeRa was happy but she asked her to take care and she would visit her sometimes. They went out for some drinks,and now SeRa started her imaginations,she said
"Have you ever had a Boss falling for his maid? Imagine if Hoseok falls for you(giggling).."
"Hahaha,it will never happen is a very tough guy,Rich guys have a nice taste when it comes to dating"
"Yes they have nice taste and that's why they always fall for poor beautiful girls and not the Rich ones,but I heard Hoseok has a girlfriend they have been dating for 5yrs now,she is the second daughter of the 2nd billionaire in the country Mr Yoo yeon-seok"
"Ouh, really? And where is the girl right now?"
"I am not sure,but I heard that they found out she can't have babies so she went abroad for further medical treatments."
"Ouh!"
"Yeah! But I also heard Hoseok is just forced to marry her but he has never had feelings for her"
"Love grows so I think after they are married they will just get along"
"Maybe…"
They kept drinking and later when they were both drunk they started walking back home. Since they were both drunk, they kept acting crazy. They went around the streets screaming,chasing each other,falling down laughing….
It's another day,Nova is done with her classes but she is so tired,she had a little time to sleep and the session was early,so yeah she is tired. Mr Kim was waiting for her outside the gate. She got in the car.
"Mr Hoseok won't be sleeping home today?" she asked…
"Yes! They have a family meeting so he will be sleeping at his parents house.
"Ouh!"
Mr Kim walked Nova in,showing Nova her room and gave her a little house tour. After that Mr Kim went back to work at the Company,He reported back to Hoseok.
Nova had no work to do as the whole house was clean,she just walked around,sat by the pool. Took some pics…
At Mr Lee's House
Everyone is already at the dining table for dinner,Mr Lee,Madam Lee,Hoseok,and his cousin,Aaron Kim.
They talked about business,on how it's going with the new shareholders. After that Madam Lee talked about Tae Ri(Hoseok's girlfriend) . She was to come back to the Next month and Hoseok was the one to go pick her up from the Airport.
"We should choose the best day for their wedding,"Mr Lee added.
"Yes! Tae Ri was so excited too about the wedding date she suggested 28th of next month" Madam Lee added
"What about you Hoseok?" Mr Lee asked
"You all are rushing this marriage,why?" Asked Hoseok.
"You have already been dating for 5 years, for how long do you wanna keep her waiting?"
"We have been dating for 5 years? How can you all be sure of that? She has been abroad for all those years.I saw her for just 2 weeks not for dating but work,she went back to abroad and you all are announcing I have dated her for 5yrs?"
"What's wrong with that? She will stay with you when you're married,now she is busy managing business."
"I don't need a business woman,I need a mother for my kids, a good mother to my kids,a wife,my wife, you all don't get it? You two were always busy with the company, I was here living with nanny's,Mom never knew what I ate for dinner,I don't want that to happen to my kids"
"But thanks to my efforts you are where you are today because of me,you should be proud of me," said Mrs Lee.
(Hoseok Scoffed, clicking tongue) And walked away. Aaron Kim runned after him..
"Sir!, let me drive you"
"No! It's okay, you just head home, you had a very tiring day."
"Drive safely.."
Hoseok was so disappointed,he drove to his Mansion. He walked in, finding the TV on and Nova had fallen asleep on the couch. He went to the couch,he stared at her as she slept,he found himself smiling. Hoseok fell asleep too.
The next morning, Nova was the first to wake up,she was surprised to see Hoseok laying beside her. "What is he doing here? Has he been sleeping here all night?...she said,but again she kept staring at him, she started to see Hoseok's Handsome side, "he is really Handsome" she said as she touched his hair. As she was busy doing it, touching Hoseok's hair,Hoseok opened his eyes. And they collided,they maintained eye contact for about 2 mins before everyone got back to their senses.
"What are you doing?" asked Hoseok
"Nothing! B-but how come you are here? Mr Kim said you will be sleeping at your parents house."
"Aah, something happened I couldn't sleep there that's why…"
"Aaah,I see"
"Are you a child? Why do you fall asleep on the couch?"
"Aah it just happened"
Nova stood up and walked upstairs where her room was. Hoseok too walked upstairs to his room,he later went downstairs to the kitchen preparing breakfast. Nova is through with preparing herself,she is walking out… "have breakfast before you leave" said Hoseok.
Nova walked over to the kitchen,and she had breakfast with Hoseok.
"How is it?..."
"Oooou(with face expressions) the eggs are too salt"
"Oh really? Sorry(giving her water) don't eat, let's have breakfast at the restaurant" he said in a very concerned voice,he really felt bad…. without knowing Nova was joking. Nova burst into laughter, Hoseok was so confused..
"See his concerned face(continues to laugh)"
Hoseok tasted the eggs,just to find out he was worried for nothing they were just okay…He also started laughing,the two continued laughing.
Mr Kim was ready waiting for Nova, so Nova finished her breakfast and walked to the Car.
As time went on,Nova and Hoseok got so close. Nova would mostly spend time at Hoseok's house.
And slowly her feelings for Hoseok grew, the same was happening to Hoseok,he was the first one to have feelings for Nova and now he would even show that Nova was her weakness. He would bring flowers,Gifts for Nova every day when he got home after work. But none of them were opening up.
Today,Hoseok got home, it was so quiet he was surprised and the lights were off. He called Nova but it was quiet,he searched each room down stairs,and Now upstairs. In his room he found Nova crying her hand on her stomach,she seemed to be in so much. He lifted her up to the car and immediately he drove to the hospital.
After some time,the doctor came out and they told him it was nothing serious,she had Dysmenorrhea. He asked if he was now allowed to go see her,the doctor said yes,he walked in the room Nova was sleeping.
Hoseok sat by her side, holding her hands waiting for her to wake up. He was so worried.
After a while,Nova was awake and Hoseok had walked out to buy her food. Nova walked to the washroom and she was now seeing her periods,she had no pads, she called SeRa but SeRa did not pick up. The only left option was Hoseok,she couldn't call him because she felt shy to ask him to bring her pads through a phone call so instead she texted him.
Hoseok, who was back in the car ready to drive back to the hospital,received the message asking him to bring pads…(lol). He was shocked..
"pads? She asked me to buy her pads? (Smiling) Whoa am I her boyfriend already? I think it's because she is in the hospital that's why she asked me"
He went back to the hospital, he could not see Nova,he called her phone and he could hear it ringing from the bathroom, he knocked,Nova screamed "wait, just pass me the pads"
Hoseok got them for her. Nova walked out of the washroom slowly embarrassed, after asking Hoseok to buy pads she now couldn't face him.
Hoseok noticed that he smiled low-key…
"Come sit here, I bought you food"
"I don't feel like eating.."
"I knew you would say so, I bought some chocolate,ice cream,yoghurt have some"
She was really craving all that,she ate everything: chocolate,the Ice cream and yogurt.
"We will be going home soon, let me go talk to your doctor okay?"
"Yes! But I will be sleeping at SeRa's place today"
"Why? I can take care of you too,let's just go home"
"I'll come there tomorrow but today let me sleep at SeRa's place please"
Hoseok agreed,so after she was discharged SeRa was there to take her home.
Hoseok got back home too,but he really was missing Nova. He thought of something,he asked Mr Kim for some help,Mr Kim agreed to help.
Nova and SeRa got home,SeRa apologized for not answering her call,she was busy.
They talked for a while,SeRa was happy to hear the two were getting along. From how Nova talked SeRa noticed Nova has feelings for Hoseok.
"Have you opened up to him?" asked SeRa
"Opened up to who? And about what?"
"To Hoseok, anyone can tell by just looking in your eyes that you love that guy you talking about"
Nova remained silent, it's like she really was ready to open up but something was holding her back.
"Is it because he has a girlfriend? That's why you are keeping those feelings untold?" asked SeRa
Nova sighed and replied… "yes! How can I open up? It's not like I don't know what his answer would be. I just can't handle the heartbreak"
"But at least you should let him know,how you feel it will help your heart heal and feel easy, he might be feeling the same for you"
"But our love is forbidden, I am a foreign girl that's the first reason to why his parents will not approve me,I am not from a rich family"
"Love bears all things, love endures all things, as long as the love between you guys is pure nothing can beat that."
Nova could still think of that conversation they had an hour ago,she couldn't sleep, she kept thinking of what could be…
A week passed by, and Nova had not gone back to Hoseok's place. She would not pick up Hoseok's phone when he called, She wanted to keep a distance. But she kept hurting herself because she was forcing herself to ignore Hoseok while hee heart really loved him. She would Cry everytime after ignoring Hoseok's calls and texts. SeRa would come back from work just to find her laying on the couch as a sick person.
After Nova went to bed, SeRa took her phone,she copied Hoseok's number and texted him the address of their house,and explained the situation Nova was going through.
Next morning
SeRa was not going to work, Nova was preparing herself to go find a new job,since she wanted to keep a distance from Hoseok. SeRa did not tell her that she texted Hoseok last night. Nova walked out of her room, "I'll be back soon" saying to SeRa. Stepping out, she found Hoseok's car packed Outside,Hoseok asked her to get in the car,but Nova was not ready,so she kept walking away. Hoseok got out of the car, he caught her and dragged her in the car. He also got in the car. He asked her to stay calm. He wanted just to talk to her and after they talked he would drive her back.
He drove the car outside the City, it was around 7pm when they arrived to where they were heading. He asked her to get out of the car. Nova followed, there was a house In Front of them, Nova asked what they were doing there, Hoseok asked her to walk ,the answers were in.
Walking in, the lights were off Nova kept asking what he was planning to do,she couldn't understand anything. She kept walking and now she was alone in there,she called Hoseok but there was no reply as she kept calling, suddenly the Lights went on. She was a little bit shocked, and that's when she looked around, the room was decorated, everything well organized and there were words on the wall that read "WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?"
Nova was so surprised,Hoseok walked closer to where she was standing with a ring,he asked her what her answer was. Nova looked into Hoseok's eyes,she was worried,she knew this was all wrong because no matter what, Hoseok's parents would never allow her to be their in-law.
Nova nodded her head and it was a No sign she was giving,she runned outside leaving Hoseok disappointed.
She cried as she runned outside,her mind and heart were in a battle. Her heart really needed Hoseok,but her mind was against it.
She walked out thinking, of what was right
"What if I am just torturing my feelings for nothing, l I know I love Hoseok, why am I denying it?... If loving him is wrong then is ignoring my feelings right?...Should I just ignore everything and give our love a chance?..." Nova thought a lot.
Back to Hoseok he got out but Nova was not there,he searched around but he couldn't see her,he called her but she did not pick up. "NOVA!!!" He called out loud but there was no reply.
He went back in to grab his car keys,so he could drive, looking for her..
He turned around just to see Nova behind him. In a relieved voice he called "NOVA.."
Nova walked straight to where he was standing and gave him a 'Kiss' her eyes kept shedding tears as she kissed Hoseok. She stopped and stepped back…
"Is it just our bodies,are we both losing our Minds? Even when we know it's wrong,we just keep holding on…" (crying)
"Nothing is wrong, Nova Do we need somebody to tell us what feelings we have for each other? Come on I know what I feel, can we atleast concentrate on ourselves! (Pleaseee) Nova" his eyes were also shedding tears.
Nova made a step forward following Hoseok,they went back Kissing..They walked in the bedroom and they went and had s*x….
The Next Morning…
Hoseok was the first to wake up,he prepared breakfast,and took it to the bedroom where Nova was sleeping. He wakes her up,
"GoodMorning, Mrs Hoseok,here is your breakfast,your welcome.."
Nova smiled,she ate up as Hoseok received a call from his secretary Mr Kim. He was needed home by Madam Lee.
Hoseok was back after making a call, also Nova was through with her breakfast, she took a bath and she was back,she dressed up and walked down stairs,Hoseok was waiting.They got into the Car heading home. They got there,Hoseok holding Nova's hand, joking, laughing as they walked in the house. The moment they opened the door Madam Lee was sitting on the couch,she smiled after seeing her son who was holding someone else's hand. Nova walked in too,Madam Lee could not believe her eyes seeing a foreign lady with her son.
She couldn't say anything,so she asked her driver to go and get the car ready. As she walked out,Madam Lee was so annoyed,she asked her driver to drive her home.
After getting there,she messaged Hoseok to meet her at home.
Back to Hoseok and Nova,Hoseok asked Nova not to worry about anything even if his family would not allow them to be together he would leave everything behind just to live with her.
Hoseok was to head to his parents house,he was worried to leave Nova alone,she would be bored. So she dropped her at SeRa's place,since SeRa was to be home early.
"I'll come pick you up later,okay?".... kissing her
"I'll be waiting…" she smiled and waved at him as he drove away.
Hoseok walked in, his parents house. Madam Lee and Mr Lee were waiting in the sitting room. A while later Mr Kim walked in too.
"Tae Ri will be here next week,decide the marriage date, it should be in this month" said Madam Lee
"I won't marry Tae Ri, I don't want to marry her," said Hoseok.
"What are you saying? Why?" Madam Lee asked
"I have someone else in my heart, and I wanna marry her…"
"What..? Don't tell Me,it's that Foreign girl!! No it's not happening,over my dead body"
"Who… who is that foreign girl, what is her family status?" This was his dad asking.
"Dad, if you agree with our relationship,I will introduce you her to you"
"It's hard to approve of someone I don't know, I have to meet her,to be sure she is a good match for you".....said Mr Lee Byung Hun.
(Scoffed)....."You don't trust me? Am I a kid? Don't I know what I am doing? Between you guys and I, who knows better which girl is right for me?" Hoseok speaked angrily…He walked out, his face full of annoyance.
Mr Kim was to follow him back,when he heard Madam Lee saying….
"You knew about her too.,"
"Mmh! Excuse me?" Mr Kim asked in a surprised voice
"You knew about the affair between Hoseok with this foreign girl,and you still kept quite,"
Mr Kim had no answer,he kept quiet. Madam Lee stood up,she was so annoyed to know that also Mr Kim knew about it but still kept quiet. Allowing his cousin to have a relationship with a foreign girl.
Mr Lee Byung Hun who was still sitting on the couch asked Mr Kim who was still standing there..
"Mr Kim??..."
"Yes sir,"
"Can we have a talk?" He asked Mr Kim to follow him to his study room….
"You know our Hoseok very well, you even grew up with him, Is he happy?"
"Honestly Si.." " Don't call me Sir! Let's have this talk as a family,I am your uncle right?(Mr Kim nodded his head 'yes') So talk to me as your uncle."
"Honestly uncle, ever since she met this girl, I have seen the Hoseok I used to see years back,when we were 10yrs old. He has been happy,he acts as a human right now"
"So you mean he is happy right?"
"Yes!"
"I want to me the girl"
Mr Kim was asked to arrange a day.
Hoseok picked up his girlfriend Nova from SeRa's place. They were so happy together, Hoseok kept kissing Nova's hand while driving.
"Baby, can we please get some yoghurt.." said Nova in a cute babish voice.
"What's with that voice? Hoseok was amazed… "say again,say it again…..(baby can we please get some yoghurt) he mimicked.
(Both laughing)
"I didn't say that, hahaha" Nova laughed
"Repeat again what you said then,please please…"
Nova repeated, ….."baby can we please get some yoghurt" In the same babish voice
"You know what!?" Asked Hoseok… "you make wanna eat you up" he flirted with her
"Really!? What about eating me after we eat yoghurt…" she smiled at him flirting back
"My heart is now racing you know…"
They laughed,they got the yoghurts and drove home. Today for the first time Nova prepared dinner,Hoseok was amazed by her cooking skills, he did not know Nova was good at preparing Korean dishes too. They ate up and walked to bed. They were now sharing a bedroom.
The next morning, as usual, Nova went to college and Hoseok to work. SeRa texted Nova to join her in the evening so they could get a drink. Nova was okay with it,she informed Hoseok about it and after classes she waited for SeRa to get off work,they went for a drink…
"Your ring looks great on you" said SeRa
"Thank you" she answered, staring at it.
"If Hoseok's mom tries to part you guys, you have me. I'll support you and Hoseok."
"How,(smiling) will you fight her?"
"No! You can't fight rich people, I'll just pay for a plane ticket and you guys should go far,as far as you can"
"Ouh! Thank you my beautiful friend"
They kept drinking,they were both drunk, Hoseok kept calling Nova but she wouldn't pick up. He called again and the drunk Nova picked up, she was so drunk that she would not even remember where they were. She asked the bar lady to help explain to Hoseok. He got there and they were both wasted,he called Mr Kim asking him to help take SeRa to her place,he texted him the location and the address of SeRa's place.
A month later
Mr Kim, as he was asked by Mr Lee Byung Hun,to make arrangements for him to meet Nova.
Mr Lee Byung Hun met Nova at a certain restaurant. It was a very confidential meeting. Mr Lee ordered food for her, they had a conversation as they waited for their food to be served.
"No matter how you guys love each other,you know you are from different worlds, right? Even if I agree with you two to be together,my wife will never agree with it. So just forget about our Hoseok" said Mr Lee.
"I tried to do it before but I failed. If it was a one-sided love,I wouldn't even bother to go this far,but your son loves Me too. We are happy don't you people see? A parent should always be happy to see his kid happy."
Their meal was served and Mr Lee asked Nova to enjoy her meal..
"I am his father and his happiness is my happiness but him marrying you will affect our Family business. And as long as I am breathing I can't stay and watch that happen."
Nova ate up,but she felt nausea,she felt like throwing up, she rushed to the bathroom.
"What's this? What's wrong with me?" She asked herself. As she walked back to the table.
"Are you okay?" Asked Mr Lee
"Yeah,I am fine"...
But she kept feeling nausea,and that's when she asked Mr Lee to excuse her,she took her bag,coat and she left.
Mr Lee Byung Hun was confused as to why she was acting that way. He thought or maybe… is she pregnant? He asked Mr Kim to find out.
Back home,Hoseok was waiting for Nova to be back. But Nova was not fine,she rushed to the washroom throwing up a lot.
"Are you okay?" Hoseok asked as he finished up preparing dinner.
"Yeah, I am fine," she answered with a smile.
"Join me let's have dinner"
"Okay,what have you prepared today?" She asked as she walked to the dining area.
"Some delicious food"
"Ouh,I really was craving this" she sat and started digging in… "I am from seeing your dad"
"What? Why? I told you to not meet any of them even if they ask you to.." Hoseok said in a disappointed voice
"Nothing bad happened,he invited me for dinner just that"
"What did he say? Did he ask you to leave me?"
"Even if he asked,I wouldn't agree you know.." smiling at him…"don't worry,".
"Don't see them, not my dad or Madam Lee do not meet them until I am sure they really accept you as their in law"
"Okay,don't worry afterall I will be having a busy schedule soon I have to prepare for exams"
"Aah,I am relieved"...
Hoseok washed the dishes,Nova was upstairs since she did not feel well. Hoseok climbed on bed hugging her,kissing her and soothed her to sleep.
Nova decided to take a pregnancy test the following day and that's when she found out that she was pregnant. She did not know how to deal with this information but she decided to keep quiet,she hides it from everyone, even Hoseok.
The following week was really a busy week for Nova,since she had the University Exams. She told Hoseok she will be staying at SeRa's place until she finishes the Exams.
This very week Tae Ri was to arrive in Korea.
Mr Kim reported back to Mr Lee,Nov wasn't pregnant she just had fever on that day.
Days went by and now Tae Ri has arrived at the Airport. Hoseok went to pick her up as it was planned,Tae Ri was excited and happy to see Hoseok but it was different from Hoseok. He did not say anything the whole way driving her home, Tae Ri kept talking,sharing her experiences….
They had dinner at Mr & Mrs Lee's place. Madam Lee was really happy to see Tae Ri, they treated her nicely, their in law to be.
After having dinner, Hoseok and Tae Ri walked out for a talk. Tae Ri started talking about the wedding plans, preparations for the venue…. But all this time Hoseok was quiet,and then he decided to break the silence…
"Tae Ri…"
"Yes! Babe"
"Let's stop this all drama"
"What drama?"
"3 years ago before you flee the country, do you remember what you told me? ….'Hoseok! I don't have feelings for you,I love someone else,so ask your parents to stop forcing me to marry you,I will talk to my parents too' have you forgotten?"
"Ouh! I have changed my mind, I want to marry you Hoseok this is the only way our parents business will keep going"
"So you're marrying me because of our parents' business?"
"Not only that, I also love you Hoseok, don't you see that?"
"Yes,I don't see and I don't want to see it,so please STOP! I have already told my parents that I don't want to marry you, so do me a favor and tell them you don't want to me to marry you"
(Walking away..)
"Why? Why should I do you a favor? I said I love you, don't you understand?"
(He stopped and turned around looking at her)
"But I don't love you, would you be okay to get married to someone who doesn't love you?"
(Tae Ri kept quiet)
"You're quiet,that means you are not ready, the rest is on you, you know what to do" …Hoseok walked away.
Tae Ri was so annoyed, she stumped her feet repeatedly..
Hoseok got back to his place, he had a lot on his mind, he stood up,got into his car and drove to SeRa's place. He packed outside,the lights were off, he looked at his watch,it was around 8:30 pm. It wasn't yet late,that means if they went somewhere,they were about to be back home soon. He waited in his car….
He thought of texting Nova, but before he could do it he saw a taxi parking In Front of the house,Nova and SeRa got out of it . Watching them from his car he noticed Nova was not feeling okay, he got out of his car,walking towards them. immediately after Nova saw Hoseok she pretended to be okay.
"Nova are you okay? He asked
"Yeah! I am fine, what are you doing here at this time?"
"I missed my girlfriend,I couldn't sleep"
Nova smiled after hearing Hoseok's words…
"But you don't seem to be fine" Hoseok….
They walked in, SeRa served him juice and she left them to have a talk. She already knew Nova was pregnant.
Still Nova couldn't tell Hoseok about her pregnancy,she lied it was fever,and cold….
After spending some time together,Hoseok was to go back to his place,he kissed Nova goodbye and since she was to finish her exam the day after tomorrow, he promised to come pick her up
After he was gone,SeRa asked Nova why she was hiding Hoseok the news about her pregnancy, but Nova had no proper answer.
"I am still debating if I should keep this baby or just abort it" Nova said…
"What? Nova are you serious? Why abort it? It's a baby formed out of love, you too love each other Nova"... Said SeRa.
"Tae Ri is back,and the next thing here is Hoseok to marry her,do you think I have a chance?"
"Nova! You wanna know the answer to that question, inform Hoseok about this pregnancy, listen to what Hoseok will say then from there you will know if you are to keep this baby or not but don't decide anything before you talk to him"
"Okay,I will tell him about it,but after the exams"
"But even if he won't be ready,or whatever happens,don't abort the baby Nova, I'll support you,the baby won't lack anything" said SeRa touching on Nova's stomach. They smiled and hugged.
It's another Morning, Tae Ri went to see her dad and she told him about Hoseok, Mr Yoo yeon-seok was annoyed seeing her daughter crying he called Mrs Lee and asked her to make sure she is talking to her son and this Marriage was to happen as soon as possible or else they would drop their shares from their Company.
Madam Lee was now confused. She planned to talk to Hoseok once again so maybe he could agree with her. She asked him to come home tomorrow evening. Hoseok had plans in the evening,so he told her he would come by 12pm.
As planned,the following day Hoseok went to work,around 11pm he got off work heading home at his parents house.
He thought they were going to approve his relationship with Nova,but it was vice versa. Madam Lee kept on asking him to Marry Tae Ri. He wasn't ready,so he stood up and walked away back to his car and drove off.
Hoseok was driving, then suddenly the car automatically started controlling itself,he tried to control it but he couldn't. And that's when his car was hitted by a Truck. Causing a big accident…
Nova, not knowing anything, kept waiting for Hoseok to come pick her up, but time went and she couldn't see him, tried to reach him but his phone was just ringing with no reply. She decided to take a taxi and head home. At Hoseok's place, she was to get back to Hoseok's place after exams.
Hoseok is rushed to the hospital in an ambulance,he is in a very critical condition. They directly took him to the Operation room because he was bleeding a lot. His parents waited outside as the doctors kept on doing their work.
Nova waited for Hoseok to be back home until she fell asleep….
She was awakened by a phone call and it was from SeRa crying, her dad had passed away,she was at the hospital with her mom and her young brother. She was directed at which hospital they were and without wasting time Nova took a taxi and headed there.
She helped them with the funeral preparations,she supported SeRa. But she was still worrying about why Hoseok hadn't called her back, so she walked out of the funeral hall and called Mr Kim. Mr Kim picked up telling her what happened and he promised to call her back when Hoseok wakes up.
Nova could not hold back her tears,she cried asking God to save Hoseok's life. …
The Next morning, the debt collectors came by SeRa's father's funeral and they really caused a mess, asking the family to pay them their Money. Nova walked into this situation, she asked them to stop causing trouble and she will pay the money.
"Nova!" SeRa was surprised
"You will pay us? Who are you, you are not a Korean oo, you seem to have the money to pay us" said one of the debt collectors.
"How much is it? How much does this family owe you?" Nova asked.
"500 Million Won!"
"So the mess you are causing right now is because of that 500 million won?" She asked .. "Give me your account number. I will pay directly after the funeral and please stop causing trouble" she kindly asked them…
The debt collectors walked away and she was given just 2 days to pay it back. Or else they would cause a big trouble to this family.
SeRa pulled Nova aside so they would have a talk.
"Nova!? What are you doing? I'll pay it back slowly you don't have to pay it"
"This is your father's funeral, there are 3 celebrations here on earth, the day you're born,the day you marry and the day you die. They did not respect your father's funeral. That's not right, even if they owe him money,this is not right. And don't worry I will pay them,you should concentrate on taking care of your mom and brother okay?"
"Where will you get that money?"
"Have you forgotten? Hoseok paid me a huge amount of money,so we will use that." Said Nova
"But you should keep that money, it should at least help you in this pregnancy period because it will reach a time when you won't be working,you need it.."
"Come on, Hoseok is there for me, we won't need this money he would provide for me and the baby" Nova confidently said..
She asked SeRa to stop worrying everything would be fine. SeRa walked back in,Nova was to walk back in after making a call.
But she wasn't calling anyone,she was checking her bank account and she had just 600M won.
Nova transferred the 500M won to those Debt collectors and she was now left with 100M won.
It's now 4 days since everything happened, SeRa had to go stay with her mom for a week to give her some company until she recovers.
And Nova was still staying at Hoseok's house,she kept on asking Mr Kim to help her find a chance so she could go visit Hoseok. Mr Kim helped her and she got a chance to see Hoseok who had not regained consciousness for 6 days now.
After visiting Hoseok,she went back home(Hoseok's place) . Mr Kim drove her there, and she was surprised to find Mrs Lee in the house.
Mrs Lee was here to kick her out,
"You can't be staying at my son's house while he is not around,so you should leave.."
"But he told me to stay here,and especially when he is not around I have to take care of this house."
"What? This is my son's house, and if he is not in a state of giving orders I am the one to give orders,I don't know what you guys talked about but as for now I say you should leave"
"There's no need to argue Nova,she is Hoseok's mom and I am just a girlfriend, I have no right here" she spoke to herself as she walked upstairs to pack her things.
Before she left the room,she took that pregnancy test and the ultrasound picture. She put them in the safe,the safe that was in Hoseok's room.
After,she walked down stairs,
"Stay away from my son" Mrs Lee ordered Nova
Nova did not say anything, she pulled her bag out,took a taxi, she was dropped at SeRa's place, though SeRa was not around she planned to stay there for some days as she decides what to do.
