SARANGHAE OPPA
Kiss

Gyuri’s POV

“Kim Gyuri-ssi, please deliver this deposit to sajangnim” room

“Ne..”

I muttered softly as Miss Super Visor thrust out a brown envelope that I had to deliver to Donghae Oppa. Usually Haneul Unni who will take all the delivery entrusted at the reception. He always checked every single thing related to Donghae oppa. Whether it's an item deposit or a guest asking Donghae oppa. Really very attentive.

I have been a staff member at this hotel for a week. A few days before I felt that work was very exciting, I even spent time in front of the computer and checked all the data of guests who went in and out of the hotel. I even told all my staff and co-workers not to regard me as the wife of Donghae oppa or as the only daughter of my father Kim Sunghyun. I want them to portray me as Kim Gyuri, a college student who is trying to understand a job and a responsibility.

Overly? Well maybe that's the right word, because now I'm getting tired of this job. Right, what Donghae oppa said. I'm too spoiled to work. But everything's already gone. I do not want to lose, and will still prove all my previous words. I will take responsibility for my choices and take all my work seriously.

***

I immediately set my foot in the elevator. A brown envelope is in my arms right now.

Hem, deliver to Donghae oppa's room? I even see him every day at home. In fact, at the hotel we both rarely met while on duty. Maybe if you meet often, but absolutely do not have time to say hello.

He was very busy in his room and I was busy in the lobby. Sometimes I just see oppa in and out of the hotel in a hurry. The thing that I was very uncomfortable seeing was, wherever he stepped, surely Haneul unni always tailed behind him. I know this is a job. Everyone has to be professional, right?

I don't know, I just feel jealous if Haneu unni is always with Donghae oppa. Will she also accompany Donghae oppa to the toilet? Aish, outrageous. What I was thinking. Of course it won't. You idiot!

Hemh, why don't I whine and ask Donghae oppa to make me his personal secretary. But if it is like that, it means that Haneul unni will lose his job. Aigoo, come on Mrs Lee . You have to stay excited and do all your work well. If I complain like this, how can I prove to Donghae oppa if I am really responsible with my work. Aish, Jina…

Ting…

The sound of the elevator opening blew away my daydream for a moment. I got out in a hurry and immediately headed to Donghae oppa's room.

Tok…

“Masuk”

I heard a reply from inside. I pushed the door open. And the first one I saw was Donghae oppa and Haneul unni who were sitting opposite on the sofa. Haneul unni was busy with his laptop, while Donghae oppa was busy observing the papers scattered on the table. His right hand twirled a black ballpoint. I don't think he realized that the one knocking on the door was me. Exorbitant!

I saw 2 cups of coffee that were already running out, perfectly located next to their work. Well, an activity that I feel must be very fun. Drowning in a job, and concentrating so much that I didn't realize I was standing at the door with a brown envelope in my arms.

To be honest I am not happy to see the scene that is being presented before me at the moment. The kenpa? The answer is because I am jealous. I'm just a little unwilling if my husband is alone with the other woman in his room. Only the two of them, without anyone being the third among them.

All right, stop looking at them if you don't like Kim Gyuri-ssi. Okay, just act like usual. Right now I am an employee and should not interfere in the affairs of his superiors.

“Ehm... sajangnim, there is a deposit for you”.

My words made the two humans who were drowning in their own world now begin to come to their senses and turn all their eyes towards me.

“Eh? Gyuria-ah”

Donghae oppa got up from his seat and walked up to me. He stretched out his arms and prepared to embrace me.

“Whoaa, what the fuck are you”

I immediately pushed both of his hands away. He changed his expression suddenly. Haha, a very funny annoyed expression. Makes me want to smile to see it. Kulirik Haenul unni who just chuckles at our behavior.

“You cannot do this to a female employee, Sajangnim. It was an impolite deed”

“Hey hey, what are you saying. Stop messing around with Kim Gyuri-ssi. You're my wife, not my employee. I can do whatever I want and you can't resist it at all. Arachi?”

“Ani.., at home I am your wife. But in the office, I'm your employee. And you can't get what you want right now. Mianhamnida Sajangnim”

I bowed briefly and made her put on a confused and upset expression simultaneously. Okay, again I have to show my professional attitude in front of him.

“I'll just deliver this”

I held out a brown envelope that I had been holding since. Oppa grabbed it and threw the envelope onto the sofa. I looked at him with a look of disbelief. How could he behave like that to me.

“YAK. Be polite. Why are you like that?”

“Hahaha. Goody. You can finally go back to being my Lee Gyuri. Come on baby, don't act like everyone else”

“ish, sucks. What exactly do you want?”

“Company me here. Haneul and I are checking some data, and it's very confusing. You're a finance student. You should understand this kind of thing, right? Let's sit here”

Donghae oppa withdrew my hand, forcing me to sit down and obey his orders. Is he crazy? What can I help you with? If I'm with them here, then I'll just shut up without being able to do anything. Haneul unni is a very smart woman. Why did he tell me to sit here? Want to embarrass me in front of Haneul unni?

“Lee Gyuri-ssi, sit down first. You can accompany us to analyze everything”

“Ah, ani. Anyway I thought, I can't help anything. You guys can finish it, like always, right? Oh, yes it seems like Eunhyuk oppa can also help. Spirit!”

I try to act like normal to Haneul unni. Don't let her feel that I'm uncomfortable with her. Anyway, I think Haneul unni is a very nice person. I can't think about it.

“I'll tell another employee if you're helping me here. Take it easy, your salary for a month will not reduce”

“OPPA”

I hit his shoulder slowly. He could talk like that in front of Haneul unni. I'm impressed like a matre girl who always takes money into account.

“I don't want oppa. I'm going back downstairs. Excuse”

Without waiting for the answer I immediately stepped out and closed the door.

Fortunately, I was able to get out of the room immediately. Every time I see Haneul unni I feel bad. I don't know, it looks like he has something I don't know what it means. Hem, I think it's just my weird thinking. There's no way he's hiding anything.

Donghae’s POV

Ah, what a pity. Why did he come out in such a hurry from my room. While working here for a week, Gyuri never met me in this room. He had come here a few times before. Even since this room still belonged to his father, Gyuri often came to the office to meet abouji.

Now Gyuri works as a receptionist. He was always on the ground floor and checked the data of guests entering and exiting the hotel. I didn't have time to meet him there at all because my work was so much. Since work, Gyuri has acted differently. He feels like a stranger in the office. She used to tell me not to treat her special. He wanted me to take him like any other employee in this hotel. How can I act like that to my wife. Crazy one!

The worst thing is, he does not want to be called by the name of Lee Gyuri as usual. He prefers to listen to all the employees calling him Kim Gyuri. What do I really think I am? He won't even wear my marg in front of his name.

Was my decision to allow him to work wrong?I can't do anything if he wants to. The gyuri was a little stubborn, and all her wishes should always be fulfilled. I think my in-laws really spoil him too much. He really wanted to work here. Did I tell him to just stop?

But all I did was so she could study independently. Gyuri's a business graduate. At least he learned to jump straight into the field. But if this is the way, I better give him a lot of money and tell him to spend time shopping. I don't think he'll get bored of holidays like that. Ah, I don't know. Just let him do what he wants. He always said he would take responsibility for his decision. And I have to appreciate his hard work.

“He's excited to work here. Even she doesn't want all the employees here to think of her as your wife. Very professional, but I think a little outrageous”

“Yeah, very outrageous. How could she have told me to forget her status as my wife and treat her like another employee. You know, he doesn't even have much time for me at home. If it's like this for a long time I'll stop him from working here”

“Hahaha. I think he'll cry if you do that. Gyuri is a different girl than the others. As long as I knew Gyuri, she was indeed an innocent girl who, well a little spoiled I guess. But he's funny, and very fun. A very friendly girl who does not hesitate to smile at anyone. You're lucky to have a wife like”

“Hem, I love him very much. I don't know, the more days I feel about Gyuri the deeper. I can't say no to anything he wants. I think that's what both of his parents felt. Therefore, he had always been treated like a princess, until now he had remained a spoiled child. Although it has diminished a little. But I really like his attitude like that. My wife will look very sweet”

“I think you really love your wife very much. I became jealous of Lee Gyuri. Hem”

Instantly, I immediately turned my attention away from the papers that were still scattered on the table. Suddenly I was wondering how Park Haneul's life really is. I think he can share with me. He's been around me for at least 5 months.

“Haneul-ssi. May I ask you something?”

“Eh? What was? Just ask. As long as I can answer, I will answer it”

I thought for a moment, to arrange a question that didn't make him feel too uncomfortable.

“Em.., all this time. I never knew what your personal life was. All I know is that you live in Seoul alone while all your extended family is in Incheon. I'd like to ask. Is there someone who makes you feel comfortable here? I'm sure you're not married. A lover maybe?”

Haneul gave an unexpected response. I guess she would feel bad and shift the topic of conversation, but this was not at all. she instead smiled lightly and did not feel disturbed at all.

“One year ago I still had a lover, even he proposed to me”

“Jinja? Then, what about your relationship now?”

“Our relationship is over now. And I'm still trying to forget everything about him. And I think I've made it”

Idiotically. I think I made a stupid question that would only make him sad and remember his past. But this is already done. I already know about him now.

Kulirik Haneul who was looking at me. He smiled again and continued his words.

“Our relationship is not sanctioned. My boyfriend is the son of a rich family. His father was the CEO of a textile company in Korea. It has even penetrated the world market. Our relationship went well for 3 years. He was my senior at Seoul University. As you know, I live alone in Seoul and my entire extended family is in Incheon. I got a scholarship to Seoul University. My family lived a simple life in Incheon. My father was one of the employees at the factory. And my mother was a normal housewife. I really wanted to get them to move to Seoul, but they didn't. Well, as usual I always send money to help finance my sisters' school diasana”

I was stunned when I heard the story. How can a Park Haneul who every day seems to have no problems at all. It turns out he harbors a huge disappointment towards a man. I never knew if all this time he worked hard was for his family. Truly an independent and very great woman.

“You're great. Fight alone in Seoul, with all the trials you face. Then what about that guy. Are you guys still on good terms till now?”

“Not at all. He's married now. My lover was betrothed to a daughter who also came from a rich family. They said I didn't deserve to be in their family environment at all. Supercharge right?”

“Then what did your boyfriend do? Did he just take it?”

“She just obeyed the wishes of her parents. I know, he's not a rebellious person. He was a very nice man and according to his parents. But I was a little upset by his attitude. She did not maintain my position as her lover at all, at that time she had proposed to me and planned to introduce me to her parents. I accept everything. I never commented because he gave me a very clear reason. My ex-boyfriend said that he would keep all his parents' will and let me go. I can accept that excuse and release it sincerely. I got down because of that. A few months passed until I finally forgot everything. I have to fight for my family too.  I applied to this hotel and now I'm your personal assistant. I am so happy to meet so many good people in the office. You and Eunhyuk are two best friends who can always make me feel better every day. At least right now I can forget everything and get back to normal life like I used to. Before I met him. You are very influential Donghae-ssi. Even I told you everything comfortably

“You are really very awesome. No one knows your personal problems but everyone feels you're okay. You're very nice, beautiful, and smart. I'm sure there are a lot of guys waiting for you. Park Haneul, forget everything and get back up and be strong”

“Araso sajangnim”

A very awesome story. I never thought a Park Haneul would tell such a long story like this. It's good that he can forget everything and get back up. A very strong independent woman. When can my wife be that grown up?

Gyuri’s POV

I walked out of the dressing room after changing my work uniform. It's 3pm and it's time to go home. Well, my work hours are different from other employees. I was supposed to be home at 5 or 6 p.m., but oemma wouldn't let me go home at the same time as the other employees. Oemma forced me to stay home before Donghae oppa came home. And for 1 week I always go home at exactly 3 pm.

Today Donghae oppa also came home prematurely. I don't know, lately he's been coming home early with me. He usually comes home at 6.  Oppa said if he didn't want me to go home alone.

Donghae oppa prefers to continue his work at home and spend time at the desk until sleepy. He said that doing the task in the room is more fun because it is accompanied by me. I can't help anything at all. I just accompanied him to work until I was sleepy myself and fast asleep while he was still sitting busy at his desk.  He said that if I fell asleep, he would wake me up. But all this time if I fall asleep while accompanying him to work, he never wakes me up at all. Oppa even confirmed my sleeping position and pulled a blanket to cover my body, he also always kissed on the forehead before continuing his work. I always realized he was doing that, but my eyes were already too sleepy and just went to sleep. His attitude is very sweet to me. Hem, the more days my feelings for Donghae oppa deepened. And I really enjoyed everything.

***

I was in the car and on my way home. As usual, Donghae oppa came home early with me. Luckily, I didn't have to take the bus.

“Oppa, let's stop by the Jiyeon” cafe

I threw a glance at him who was currently seriously paying attention to the highway. I haven't seen Jiyeon in a week because I'm busy at the hotel. We both never stopped texting or calling each other, but it still felt unsatisfied. I've always missed Jiyeon if I've not seen her face.

“OK. I've never met him either. Last met maybe about 5 years ago, right?”

“Ne... when we were in Junior High. You remember he likes you so much”

“Yes, He even blatantly asked me to marry him”

“Definitely Jiyeon would be very embarrassed if you said that in front of her”

“It looks like so, haha”

***

I pushed a large glass door and stepped into the cafe followed by Donghae oppa behind me. I saw Jiyeon was busy with customers, she looked a little tangled. Maybe because of fatigue because the current state of the cafe is very crowded.

Dongha oppa and I sat on one of the couches against the wall.  Oppa was busy observing the state of the cafe, while I observed Jiyeon who finally realized our existence here. I waved my hand and at that moment he came straight to me.

“Gyuri-ah, bogoshipeo..

I got up from my seat when Jiyeon came up to me and held me tight. I saw Donghae oppa just smilingly watching us. I don't think Jiyeon has realized that I came here with oppa.

“I miss you too. Look, I came with whom”

I let go of her embrace. Now Jiyeon turned her eyes to Donghae oppa who was raising her hand with a smile.

“Anyeonghaseo Park Jiyeon-ssi long time we did not meet”

“Oppa…. Donghae oppa”

Jiyeon looked shocked when she realized that Donghae oppa was between us. His face turned red withstanding embarrassment. Haha that's funny

We enjoyed our time there. Spend some time remembering the sweet past. Jiyeon will switch the subject if Donghae oppa offends her funny behavior first.

Jiyeon also talked about her relationship with Jinki. He said that until now the two of them had not officially become lovers. As their relationship grows closer, Jinki has never expressed her feelings for Jiyeon. Donghae oppa also motivates Jiyeon to keep her spirit and keep it all up, well makes me a little relieved because Donghae oppa did not offend my past with Jinki at all.

After almost nightfall, we both decided to go home. Surely omma and appa were waiting for us, because we both did not tell you we were going home late tonight.
