“Thank you for the ride. Wait, what's your name now? ” I asked as we stood in front of my apartment building face to face.

“Hwang Yeong...... Su. ” he answered with a wink and that grin I admired. I was intrigued because he was the only one that was still answering his name.

“That's great then, wanna come inside? ” I offered pointing at the entrance almost leading the way, but he held me back by my hand and gave it a rub,

“I will... next time, but tonight, lemme let you rest tonight, ” he said and with the way he said it, it definitely sounded like a great idea.

“Ok... When will you visit again? ” I eagerly posed though trying to contain myself which I think was very obvious.

“I'll surprise you.. ” still holding my hand in his,

“I can't wait for it then. ” I uttered with expectation as high a the empire state building.

“Of course, but till then.. Good night Hye Jin... or Ms. Vivian...” he tilted his head sideway with that quizzical look that looked perfect with his defined brows.

“Oh yes, goodnight Yeong Su... And anyone is fine,” I nod in appreciation. He smiled and waved before I walked towards the door, but I just had to turn back so I could tell him what was stuck in my throat,

“Yeong Su ah.. ” I called out and he answered,

“Nnng..? ” smiling at me with his brow raised. I walked back to him and stood before him a stair higher,

“You're not planning on disappearing right? Cause if you are... Don't! Ok? ” at first I couldn't believe that he was real but he was and now I was trying to take it all in gratefully, I didn't want to wake up and realize I had turned schizophrenic.

Like he could see through to my worries, he stepped closer with his eyes on me,

“i won't, if you don't, ” he assured me as he was holding me hands and I agreed with a nod because I believed him.

I pulled him into a longer embrace this time promising that,. “I won't, I promise.. ”, and immediately my body relaxed under his embrace and his cologne hit differently making me laugh underneath my breath.

I observed how different and handsome he was looking after letting go and letting out a smile.

“Good night, Yeong Su.. ” I whispered before entering into the lobby to wave him a goodnight,

“Hmmm. Good night Hye Jin. ” he said waving back..

He watched her walked through the door into the lobby as she retired for the night so thankful for this gift of fate.

As wonderful as the morning was, Seoul's traffic wasn't selling it.

I was in a cab, on a spot that only Heaven knew how close I was to free road. I had decided that today I could change for the better with a taxi but nope, it was a terrible idea and worst of all that..

You know, Seoul could win guinness world record for traffic. I was late for work like majority time, yeah whatever, and yes, I actually didn't drive my Boss to work.

Well, he should'a asked me if I had a driver license before looking for free Uber. I couldn't wait to see Yeong Su with last night still replaying in my mind.

Today, no this week... uhm.... I meant from now on is goanna be a good... a good... a good... time? life time? time of my life? Darn it!!! anyway you get the point.

“Miss, I think you're the only one smiling in this traffic and I've never seen someone who blushes at traffic... ” the taxi driver smirked complimenting through the mirror.

“What?? No! That's not why I'm... (Never mind) thank you si...r ” I widened my eyes at the realization that I was looking at Eunuch Park doppelganger and I just noticed.

Ok, I admit I like this kind of feeling of unexpected meetings. After waiting for a few minutes and nothing happened, I finally opted to walk to my destination, King Textiles that was a walk of about fifty minutes. thank you Seoul..

“Here, I'll drop here. ” I picked up my things and paid him for getting stuck in traffic and he collected it nevertheless but it was worth it when grew his smile wider upon discovering I actually tipped him way more than the service he rendered and before he could say thank you, I had already shut the door.

This walk was long and exhausting but it seemed shorter with the sights of hundred of people on the walk way with and the thoughts of meeting with Yeong Su later that evening.

How come he still answered the same name but InMok became Soo Young, and he was the second I met. I was yet to meet the King and Dong yi even Min Soo, would we even meet? And if we did, would they answer their names or even recognize me like Yeong Su?

The sound of a honk shook me from her thoughts and I quickly turned to see that I was obstructing a bike. I looked at–this chap who thought he owned where I stood–both the rider and the ridden that was dressed in leather and I began to wonder what exactly was he\she thinking before driving into the walk way.

“Ahjumma, please move.. ” the rider said with the glass shield of the helmet open to see me properly and I couldn't tell if it was a man or same gender because they applied makeup.

“Ahju... Ahjumma??? Who are you calling Ahjumma?? ” the person didn't shock me but the fact he/she just called me 'Ahjumma' in front of like a hundred people did the shocking.

“Are you serious? Hmmm, I'm sorry I think your helmet is depriving you of common sense, covering it up won't help you get it back and you should look at where you're headed..” I smiled to the fresh kill,

“Please move, Ahjumma.. ” the biker who I could tell was a lady because her voice was so audible this time teased, typical. As a responsible lady that I was, I scanned around to make sure people weren't staring before I looked back at the biker and muttered clear enough for two of us to hear,

“Fish Brain.. ” with a wink as I left. The biker's teasing expression faded in to an angry face while I walked off–with feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction–into the street that led to King Textiles...

“Hello? Hi, I'm from Timeless Fashion and I'd like to see your M.D. ” I smiled to the male receptionist who ogled me with a cute smile on his face that I found flirty and if the floors were wet, I would have fallen in love.

“What's your name.... Mrs..? ” he asked looking at the monitor in front of us,

“What?! No, I am not... (I cleared my throat when I realized the tricky guy.) married... I'm single so that would be a Ms, Ms Vivian, thank you. ” I looked around and glued my eyes towards the elevator on my right,

“Do you have any Appointment with him today? Ms... Vivian? ” he asked after typing whatnot into the glaring monitor, smiling wide like the Kang River..

“No, it is impromptu but very important.. ” I responded still looking around and admiring the place with its staffs looking work ready.

“Ok.. Give me a minute, please. ” he said picking the landline on the table to call and I used this time to take proper notice of the place.

“Hmmm.. Ms? ” I heard him call behind me so I turned to look at him.

“Yes...” I stared at his name tag to find his name tag 'Young Pil' but he looked nothing like him.

“The M.D is ready to receive you. Ms Vivian.. ” I noticed he slid a piece of paper which wasn't looking formal before pointing me the direction to the M.D's office.

I took the piece of paper and winked at him before moving my curves toward the elevator.

I got to the elevator which opened immediately as people poured out and waited patiently till the last was out before getting in with others I didn't notice was waiting with me.

The ladies in front of me looked at me and smiled a greeting which was returned with a wave of hi and a smile, before they returned to their discussion.

Though I wasn't interested, I wasn't offered any choice because the ladies spoke every gossip with names and positions which would kind of tip anyone who was who and who did what.

“Oh yes yes yes, I heard the Chairman's son is back from Japan.” one said looking surprise but the other looked exhausted by the news.

“What?? Oh come on, it wasn't long ago he early. Why is the heavens so unfair, I was just getting to love coming to work. ” she groaned in visible pain which made me wonder who could be such a pain in the vagina to these ladies.

The other employees laughed at the joke while trying to comfort the sad lady.

I got out of the elevator and walked straight to the secretary's table to state my reason for wanting to see the M. D.

“Yes please, he's expecting you but you'll have to wait for him in his office cause he's in a meeting right now. ” the secretary smiled at me.

I was relieved at the attitude of the secretary and I smiled in returned before walking to and through the door into the office.

I looked around the office as find myself a sit as I was 'wowing' at the scenery of beauty and luxury of this office and I compared it to my Boss's. Both luxurious yet my Boss's was preferable to this glass room.

“But wait, I couldn't see anything through it when I was outside, Nice... ” I muttered in surprise and hunger as I remembered I hadn't eaten anything this morning.

While looking around, the upside down view of a sketch sitting on the table caught my attention, so I turned it around to fully view it. This picture depicted exactly how my bracelet looked when I wore it. How and how is it possible?? and it looked like newly sketched.

'Click, click, click' I turned around and saw a kid taking photos of me, huh... And who you are?

“You know, taking pictures of someone without their permission is considered rude where I come from? ” i looked at the kid who puts on a shocked face at me while taking the last shot.

"Did you just...? Wait! To enter into this place, you'll have to go through the secretary but here is this kid. The M.D's kid?" I decided to try again time with leniency,

“Is it good?? Can I see? ” I smiled at the kid who looked obviously shaken.

He nods quickly and showed me the picture while holding it away from me.

“Wow, you're good at this.. Can I have it too? ” I asked bringing out my phone to turn on the screen and lower it to the kid but the door opened with the secretary entering with a smile on her face,

“I'm sorry the M. D just stepped out for a very important meeting and won't arrive until tomorrow. Do you want to pass a message?” the secretary professionally asked but I declined saying that I would return the next day.

“Bora, Mr. Heung is down stairs waiting for you. ” the secretary informed the kid,

“But I came to see father, tell him I am here or I won't leave and only my mom call me that! ” he walked away from her to sit on the chair beside me who was busy observing the drama.

The pain and anger on the secretary's face was noticeable now and I knew the kid was on the verge of getting snapped at, I stepped in quickly.

“Do you want to teach me how to take selfies? Am not that good like you. ” I showed my phone to the kid who brightened up at the request,

“Yes! (He paused when his voice struck him loud in his ear) yes, but you'll have to pay.. ” a little bossiness and hesitation was expected,

“How about with two bowls of ice cream.. ” I suggested and he glowed with gladness,

“And three rolls of hotdog.” the kid interrupted with a glint of mischief in his eyes but I liked anyway.

“Deal! ” I answered immediately after much internal thoughts of how to rip it off from Yeong Su's pocket. With happiness we left the office with the secretary behind us.

Bora, was the pet name given to him by his mother because it was her favorite colour and his favorite name he went by until her death.

Since then he preferred going by his birth name, Min Soo. He hated it when anybody called him Bora, sometimes including his father.

I think it was because he felt that no one had the right to except his late mother, so I decided to call him Min Soo instead even if he looks nothing like my lil' cupid, again.

He was fun, smart and outspoken unlike my little gift Min Soo who was timid though intelligent yet he was loved and he made me feel special for having him by my side all day.

I could tell Bora was a good kid who just missed his mother's love and care, his father based on what I heard was never around, from one business trip to another while Bora was left in the care of his family's chauffeur and house helps who seemed to be closer to him than his father.

After we left the M.D's office for Bora's ride, he told me every bits he knew about selfies which was undeniably helpful, they dropped me at the office before turning to leave but Bora stopped her and saved it his contact on my phone with 'my Colour'.

Yep! 'My Colour' because I said his name was my favorite colour before knowing it was his pet name his mother loved too. He promised to come visit me after school tomorrow to and I agreed.

Now I was back home tired and exhausted, hungry but happy because tomorrow was her day out with Yeong Su, he promised to take me to a museum because i requested to know more about King Seon Jo and his tenure.

The place didn't really matter but the fact I was going with someone who aware of my reason, and that I never had to hide it, gave her mind rest.

Taking my towel and wrapped it round my body, I strolled into the bathroom.

For the past few days, this was what i had been dreaming every night I closed my eyes to sleep. Just thinking of his smile, his dimples and grumpy face ears whenever he would see me and General Yin Sun my ears began to tickle.

I rubbed my ears and found my nails wet with tears I didn't even noticed shed in my sleep while I dreamt of him by the lake, that I always loved bathing in.

The loneliness I felt grew my impatience towards the rate at which the day brightened and with the clock reading 4:00 AM, I knew I was in for a long session of rolling on my bed.

After rolling on the bed for what seemed like eternity because I was lost in thought, I turned to saw 6:50 PM before deciding to get up and prepare for work.

I quickly sorted and picked the clothes for the day before setting things I would need for work.

I speedily grabbed my towel and ran into the bathroom after discovering that I had spent more than ten minutes thinking about King Seon Jo.
