Min Yubin
I do remember him. He was genuinely a good person.
Ju YunSeo
I've heard that his students have organized an exhibition to honor him. Isn't it so sweet ?
Min Yubin
Oh yes, and I've heard they'll be donating the money to the hospital for the treatment of cancer patients.
Ju YunSeo
I'm thinking of visiting the Art Gallery, it's till the weekend. You guys wanna join ?
Min Yubin
Sure, I'm free this weekend. *excited*
Min Yubin
What about you Hyung?

Ju YunSeo
I admire your dedication, Dr. Won. But I'll will be good to take a break. Why not ask the director for a few days off? You've been working continuously for past months.
Min Yubin
Afterall the director is your uncle, it won't be that hard to get your break approved.
Minyoung
Anyways I'm craving for Ice cream. I've heard of a new place nearby. Wanna join ? it'll be my treat.
Min Yubin
I've heard they also have some new flavor.
The three of them head out to get ice cream.
The day went by and came to an end.
MinYoung came back to his appartment.
After taking a shower, he microwaved the cold remnants left in his fridge.
While he waited, he plopped on one of the dinning chairs and let himself sink in the tiredness.
The weariness had almost drifted him to sleep, when his phone vibrated.
He slowly pulled himself together and picked up the call.
The voice on the other side of the phone made important remarks about something and he alternatively responded to them.
Minyoung
📞 Okay, I understand
It was one of the senior doctors with whom he was about to perform the surgery scheduled for the weekend.
The surgery had to be delayed for the next week.
Episode 01: It's you... (Part 2)
Min Young blankly stared at the art work hanging on the walls.
He had no idea what they meant. He would just stare at them. Try to understand them, fail to do so and then move to the next and repeat the same.
He doesn't even know how he ended up in the Studio, maybe having breaks for resting was too boring for him that he rather came to spend time looking at something he can't understand.
The studio had no being around. Maybe it was the void that made him stay and linger around.
As he stepped into the next hall, his gaze was drawn to a table at its center. Resting on it was a miniature model of Gyeongbokgung Palace. He took a closer look to find that it was made of precisely folded coloured papers.
Minyoung
Origami of Gyeongbokgung Palace!
*surprised*
He glanced at the label placed on the model to see the man of patience to fold bits of paper to create that palace and fill that entire table.
Minyoung
Jeong Ji Hoon... I respect your patience and talent. *he murmured.*
Minyoung
Jeong Ji Hoon *He emphasized*
He clicked a few pictures of it. When he heard someone's footsteps approach. He turned to the direction of the footsteps.
?
Excuse me Sir, it's past the closing time.
MinYoung took a long look at this man. Confirming something and finally uttered...
Episode 01: It's you... (last part)
Jeong Jihoon
2 nd year Art student at Hansan National University of Fine Arts.
Age: 24
Jihoon
Let get going first.
Minyoung wanted to say something but shook it off and followed Jihoon outside.
Minyoung
She's doing pretty good.
Minyoung
What about you? How have you been?
Jihoon
Ah... I've been doing lately.
Minyoung
The Gyeongbokgung Palace is your work ?
Minyoung's POV:
This kid has grown up. Look at him now, I can't imagine someone to change so much in the spam five years, almost unrecognizable.
Minyoung
Good to know you're doing well.
Minyoung
Minah will be delighted to know that I met you.
Jihoon
*smile* She is a great teacher. I passed high school, all thanks to her.
Jihoon
Could you give me her number please.
Minyoung gave him Minah's Number.
Jihoon
It was nice meeting you Mr. Won.
Minyoung
*smiled* You didn't seem to like my presence back then. So I wonder if you mean it kiddo.
Jihoon looked at him in disbelief.
Jihoon's POV:
Seriously!! This man hasn't changed a bit.
Jihoon
Ahaha... It was all in the past.
Jihoon
I was a kid back then.
Minyoung patted Jihoon's head playfully.
Jihoon
Anyway, I'm supposed to leave now. *looked at his wristwatch*
Minyoung
Is something wrong ?
Jihoon
I missed the last bus.
Jihoon
It's Okay, I'll take another bus around 11:00
Minyoung
Didn't you say you missed the last bus?
Jihoon
Our Dorm entry closes by 11. That was the only bus that could have got me to the campus on time.
Minyoung
Let me drop you. The bus will make you late. It only takes some 40 minutes to your university. *He glanced at his watch*
Minyoung
It's 10:32. We can still make it.
Minyoung
I'll go get the car.
Jihoon's POV:
it's okay to let him drop me right? *sigh* Its the better option. I'm not in very good terms with the warden either.
A black Mercedes pulled up in front of Jihoon.
