Chapter 15
“and I thought she was kidding me when she said you are in the same company too. It’s a small world, I would never imagine that you and Shin would be working partners.”
“Ah…. I’m heading out to watch Shin perform…. ” Eunhye said and pointed her finger restlessly at the exit door leading to the main hall.
“Let’s go together! Its been so long since I last seen him play too.” Jun Kang shrugged his shoulders, hands hooked on his jean’s pockets.
At the door between backstage and main hall, Eunhye tried to camouflage herself with the door curtain, having Shin see her and Jun Kang together is the last thing she would have wanted to happen. Although Shin’s back-facing them from where they are standing, Eunhye couldn’t focus on appreciating the performance thoroughly with Jun Kang standing close next to her.
“Could you lend me your phone?” Jun Kang asked Eunhye after Shin finished his performance and Eunhye was about to head back to the dressing room.
“Sure…” although Eunhye isn’t sure why he would want to borrow her phone, she handed it to him, not wanting to refuse Jun Kang’s little request.
Jun Kang started pressing numbers but he didn’t make any call but instead handed the cell phone back to Eunhye.
“It’s my number there. We should catch each other sometime.” Jun Kang winked at Eunhye and takes his leave.
“Were you out there watching me perform?” Shin turned around and asked when Eunhye comes back to the dressing room.
“Yes… of course! How could I stay here and watch you on that small television set?” Eunhye smiles and pointed to the little set on the corner of the dressing room.
Shin walks over to Eunhye and tousles her fringe.
“Aigoo… I love you for that!” Shin cups Eunhye’s face squeezing her cheeks together and plants on kiss lightly on Eunhye’s lips.

Few days later…
Shin and Eunhye heads to the office but this time round, it is Eunhye behind the wheels. Shin has wanted to drive the car himself but Eunhye insisted that the assistants and managers for artistes should be chauffeur, not the artistes themselves. Shin couldn’t discourage Eunhye since it is nothing but a real fact.
Shin can hardly keep himself still in the passenger seat and took out his camera and started snapping the streets, the passerby on the walkway, the clear blue sky when they passed the kangnam river… the last picture was taken of Eunhye when she pulled to a stop at the office building.
“Angel, should we tell CT about us?” Shin turned to Eunhye and asked with a serious face.
Stunned, Eunhye doesn’t know how to answer Shin and remain dumbfounded.
“Got yah!” Shin pinches Eunhye’s cheek and hop out of the car.
“Come on, let’s go!” Shin says cheerfully, “there’s someone we should meet!”
Eunhye found herself worrying… “Is Shin-goon referring to Jun Kang?”
3 minutes later.
Shin walks on ahead with Eunhye lagging behind, still occupied with thoughts and worries about who the person that Shin has mentioned really is. He refused to tell her anything when they were in the lift.
Shin pushed through the door and immediately extended his hand to greet the female guest standing next to CT.
Eunhye lower herself to peep through the partially frosted panel of the meeting room, two women were waiting inside. Eunhye heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the two pair of legs were wearing lady shoes.
“Good afternoon Ms Pong Ky! Nice to meet you finally!” Shin said with smiles.
“And I believe you had met Eunhye ssi..” Shin turned and waited for Eunhye to come in.
When Eunhye walks through the door, she immediately recognizes the tanned girl whom she met in Thailand and now connects through instant messenger.
“Pong!!! Oh my god!! It’s you!!!” Eunhye couldn’t hide her excitement to see her friend again.
Pong Ky cross over from the other side of the table and gives Eunhye a tight bear hug.
“Why didn’t you tell me you are coming? I could have gone to the airport to fetch you! It’s so nice to see you again!!”
“It’s a better surprise to meet in such a way isn’t it?” Pong Ky pull herself away and smiles at her Eunhye.
At this moment, CT spoke up but with a smile wide across her face.
“Ladies, catch up later, now on to business.”
CT kicks off the meeting explaining why Pong Ky has been invited to Korea.
“Ms Pong Ky is an up and coming young designer and beginning to gain recognition for her talent in this area. Shin is new and we had thought about engaging an industry well-known name to be his fashion stylist, but there are more cons compared to pros if we go for the first option.”
“We need new ideas and believe someone new to this circle could help inject new concepts and innovative thinking around this whole thing…”
Two hours later at Chaeri’s café in the late afternoon, the café was playing some soft soothing music when they stepped in. Chaeri is doing the accounts in the backroom behind the counter.
Pong Ky, Eunhye, and Shin takes their seat at the usual table reserved for Shin, sipping chamomile and lattes.
“Ah…. I’m heading out to watch Shin perform…. ” Eunhye said and pointed her finger restlessly at the exit door leading to the main hall.
“Let’s go together! Its been so long since I last seen him play too.” Jun Kang shrugged his shoulders, hands hooked on his jean’s pockets.
