Chapter 1
The cold night breeze made me shiver. The first days of work were tiring but also very interesting... I walked past the many shops, without looking inside... Then I would get distracted and spend again money...
I thought about buying myself dinner, since nobody was home. Right when I sat down on one of the chairs a guy entered the store. I could see a little bit of his face because he was wearing a hood.
I looked secretly after him but the shelves blocked my view. After a few minutes I saw him coming towards me. My heart began to beat faster, like a dumbass, falling for a stranger...
He took a seat at the edge, near the wall. I stared at his beautiful side profile, while he was eating, only looking at his food. I wondered if he just moved in this zone or if he is only a passerby...
Suddenly he turned his head in my direction. I pretended I was watching on my phone, but I could see him with the edge of my eye that he still stares at me
I fast ended my dinner and left the store, heading as fast as I can back home
~After a few days, in the morning~
Soo-Yeon
The house is so quite without the others...
Soo-Yeon
I can't believe it's already a week since I work at the company... I still don't know all of their names and never met the CEO, I guess he's too busy
I put my chlotes on and made myself ready, forgetting to eat something
Some of my new colleagues were already there when I arrived
Hyo-Jin
Good morning Soo-Yeon!
Soo-Yeon
(Damn she's pretty)
Hyo-Jin
How are you? By the way, the boss arrived yesterday in Seoul from his trip, he wants to meet you today
Soo-Yeon
Ok, thanks for telling me
In the next 160 minutes I couldn't concentrate well, thinking how to behave nicely in front of him...
Hyo-Jin showed me where his office was and went back to work
I hesitated and then knocked at the door. A low voice answered and told me to come in. I opened the door and met eyes with the CEO's. His dark hair was hanging over his forehead, making him look like a prince from one of those kids stories
Soo-Yeon
Good morning, I'm Kim Soo-Yeon, the new employee. Nice to meet you!
I held my hands together and nervously played with my fingers
I could see his dark eyes moving up and down, checking me... He had a quite arrogant aura.
Lee Jae-Hyun
I'm the CEO, Lee Jae-Hyun. I'm thankfully that you chose to work in this company
Lee Jae-Hyun
I hope we will work well together
Soo-Yeon
Ah... Why should you be the one thankful to me? I'm glad you accepted me to work here😅
Soo-Yeon
(Why can't I keep my mouth shut? )
Soo-Yeon
(But have we met somewhere before? He looks somehow familiar... )
Lee Jae-Hyun
That's all. If you have any questions, geel free to ask somebody.
Lee Jae-Hyun
Have a nice day
Soo-Yeon
Thank you, have a nice day too!
I walked outside and close the door. I breathed a sigh of relief and went to the others
Soo-Yeon
Still... I feel like I saw him somewhere before...
Chapter 2
The lights were on in the living room what meant that someone came back home
Mi-Jin
Why are you in a bad mood?
Soo-Yeon
I'm tired... But....
Soo-Yeon
I THINK I MET MOST HANDSOME MAN IN THE WORLD
Mi-Jin
You said that several times before....
Mi-Jin
How does he look, still?
Soo-Yeon
Just like in those dramas...even prettier
Soo-Yeon
He's my boss, by the way... 😕
Mi-Jin
😅 You're kidding me... You even fall for a CEO, which you will have trouble with
Soo-Yeon
I just think he is looking good... Nothing more.
Mi-Jin
Can we go somewhere to eat?
We went to the nearest restaurant and ordered something light. My phone rang and scared my sister, I had as ringtone "Sad song" by P1harmony. I responded and went out, so that my sister couldn't hear anything
Soo-Yeon
A colleague, Hyo-Jin. She's very pretty
Mi-Jin
I need to buy an eyeshadow palette, can we go after to Olive Young?
Soo-Yeon
Well...You can go alone, I need to rest.
Mi-Jin
Then I will go alone
After we finished our dinner, Mi-Jin went in the center. I looked what time it was, I wasn't sure if I should let her go by herself at this late hour, but remembered she was 17
I entered my room and jumped on my bed. I changed fast in my pyjamas and removed makeup and so, wanting to sleep immediately, but right before someone rang at the door
Soo-Yeon
Right, Mi-Jin has no keys with her
I opened the door and saw his dark eyes staring at me. It was the guy from the convenience store I saw a week ago. But also the CEO. I struggled not to drop my jaw and didn't saw that he held Mi-Jin near him
Soo-Yeon
Mi-Jin, what happened???
Soo-Yeon
Is everything ok?
Lee Jae-Hyun
There was a old man who almost kidnapped your sister
I widened my eyes and looked at her, seeing how she trembled and held on his arm tightly. I wondered what exactly happened, but didn't ask further
Soo-Yeon
I'm very, very thankful that you... brought her back and so
Lee Jae-Hyun
Have we met before?
Lee Jae-Hyun
I think I know you
Soo-Yeon
Ah, what... That's not possible 😅😳
I took Mi-Jin's hand and told her to get inside
Soo-Yeon
Thank you one more time
I wanted to close the door but then he said:
Lee Jae-Hyun
I remember, you are the new employee, right?
Soo-Yeon
(What should I tell him...)
Soo-Yeon
Well, yes...you are right! I'm the new member of the team. I couldn't recognize that you're the CEO, since you are clothed in a hoodie and... Baggy pants
I observed how long his legs are, how tall he is. Like a guy who all the girls would fall for
Soo-Yeon
I like it more when he's wearing such chlotes, not that boring suits...
Soo-Yeon
(Oh shit, don't tell me I spoke my thoughts out loud)
Lee Jae-Hyun
Well then, see you tomorrow at work
He looked at me one more time and went then.
Soo-Yeon
Mi-Jin, how are you?
Mi-Jin
I'm fine, I was a little scared but now it's ok
Soo-Yeon
You should be careful and always watch around... I should have went with you, I'm sorry
Mi-Jin
Yes, you should, but what happened, happened.
Mi-Jin
He saved me... And, I can't believe he's so good looking. I don't think you ever saw a such handsome guy, the boys you saw weren't even half that nice
Soo-Yeon
Uhm.... Well, I guess so
Soo-Yeon
Go to sleep, it's very late
I felt asleep immediately, not even rethinking what happened
