Donghae POVs

“So what do you think?”

I raised my eyebrows to respond to the confused gazes of those who seemed to be thinking out loud. Since then I joined together in a large room right in front of my main room. Right after Gyuri decided to go home. I went out and observed what they were doing. Seeing the serious look that has been shown since, it actually makes me want to do something to eliminate the stress that hit due to working too hard lately.

“OK, formal party and held here. No need for all employees who come, if that is the case, all hotel work can be chaotic. What if only a few staff attended?”

Eunhyuk said excitedly, then greeted with a nod and a smile of agreement from everyone who had needed an opinion that could represent what they wanted.

“Alright, no problem. Please arrange when the time is right. And certainly, it does not also interfere with the office management system. Well, if possible, the party should be done at night after work hours. Oete?”

“Yeah, great idea. Formal parties that are not too heavy. We can have fun and forget a little about the work for a moment. All of us celebrate the success of solving the problem of hotels that lately did take a lot of time. The night after work hours. Maybe around 9 p.m? I think it's time enough to get ready for”

This time Haneul who expressed his opinion, since then he was silent and a little strange to me. But he finally made a sound too, at least making me feel relieved. Don't let him change his attitude towards me because of the mistake that happened this afternoon. After all, why am I so stupid to the fault of such a person? why am I so careless that I can't tell which one is my wife and which is my secretary.

That ridiculous idea shouldn't be in my head. Yasudah, how else. After all, everything has happened, and Gyuri has also succeeded in reducing her anger. In the future I have to be more careful and do have to keep a little distance with Haneul, although I am sure, he said, I can't do it all because every day I need Park Haneul to help me carry out all the tasks.

“How about tomorrow? I think everything was very frustrating because of yesterday's problems. It's time we had fun and forgot about it while”

“Good idea, you guys can prepare everything and I just have to approve it”

“Alright, we will compile an event that is certainly interesting. Even if we're the only ones at the party, but I'd like to come up with a very good concept. Well at least really entertaining and make us all happy”

This time it was Eunhyuk and I who were involved in a dialogue. Others were busy nodding and occasionally clapping signs in agreement.

In this room, there were about 20 people sitting in their seats. Meanwhile, Eunhyuk and I were standing side by side in the middle of their work desk lined up neatly. Of course Haneul was also in this room, but he would rather stand behind an employee and lean his back against the wall, than stand behind me as usual. Well, I guess, I've made him uncomfortable being in a distance too close to me. And it also makes me feel uncomfortable Park Haneul-ssi.

“Good. I'll wait for you to hand me a piece of paper that I'll consider later. I hope with the free time we use to unwind for a moment. You and all of us can do better. At least refresh the mind that is too hot if used to work continuously”

“Araseo, sajangnim. I didn't expect, you were also considerate of your employees”

As usual, the original sentences were always coming out of Lee Hyukjae's mouth this stupid. All this time I didn't pay attention to all my employees. Ish, outrageous. I am not the type of boss who will do anything and force employees to continue working. I also understand what they feel, because I feel it too.

How not? I even helped to analyze some of the data, even though most of it was signed immediately, but I also understood what I had to do before. And this fool. He even nagged me this morning, just because I haven't separated the files I signed and the ones I haven't signed yet. Excessive indeed, but I think it's all the influence of the mind that has been very tired. That's why I decided to carry out this event as entertainment for my staff who have worked so hard.

“When I don't pay attention to my staff Enhyuk-ssi. I think I always do my best. Right?”

I tried to seek approval from some of the employees who had been watching and listening to the two of us who were standing here. They simply answered my question by nodding and smiling lightly.

Okay, this time I think being in the office is fun. Although I was upset because I could not go home before my time, but I could chat with the staff who did work every day in this room. They were a bit awkward and always stiff on me. Except Haneul and Eunhyuk of course. With the holding of this event, I hope I can eliminate their rigid attitude towards me. Hemh, being a friendly boss doesn't hurt. And I really want to be considered that way. They work without pressure and will do their best. Same with what I'm going to do. I will try to keep this hotel standing tall and carrying out all my father's wishes. At least it can make me proud to be the oldest son who was given responsibility by my beloved father who now does not exist. Even my father-in-law has given up all his trust towards me. Not only this hotel, but also her beautiful daughter. My wife's.

Author’s POV

Jinki and Jiyeon still enjoy their togetherness in a coffee shop. The two seemed very enthusiastic about telling the various impressive scenes they had just watched. Today Jiyeon is so happy to spend so much time with Jinki. Starting from visiting friends in the hospital, looking for equipment to practice courses, going to the cinema, until finally they spend time together in this place.

Jiyeon did not stop smiling when she saw Jinki seriously express her opinion about the film they had just watched. Not because of the words that came out of Jinki's mouth, but because Jiyeon was very happy when Jinki wanted to talk to her a lot. And she really likes the various facial expressions that Jinki shows, and sometimes interspersed with a sweet smile that makes her eyes disappear instantly. Funnier.

“I will never forget the movie we just watched. And I think I'll watch it again, if need buy the DVD later”

“I think you really liked that movie. Well it's very interesting. And I'm also happy to be able to spend time with you”

Reply Jiyeon accompanied by a wide smile that she never stopped showing.

Their relationship is stagnant. Or it could be said to be a road in place. Everything flows very slowly. For other teen couples, it may be spending time together and feeling comfortable with each other. That is enough to bring a feeling of its own to each involved. But not for them. To Jinki to be exact.

Jinki still could not understand how she felt about Jiyeon. He just felt, this was too simple to be called love. But she also realizes her feelings are too deep for a friend or best friend. For a few months they were close. And it could have made Jinki really fall in love with this girl. He just needs the right time to say it. To express his feelings to Jiyeon, and ask the girl to be her lover. Everything is not easy because a Lee Jinki only ever expresses feelings to a girl. Gyuri Kim.

***

It was getting dark, and the two teenagers decided to stop at a park because they saw 2 empty swings that look very fun if playing there. A deserted park. It is not far from the Jiyeon residence, even from the park, can be seen clearly Jiyeon's house which is indeed no one there. For a few weeks his parents went to China, and inevitably, Jiyeon had to live alone in the mansion.

This whole day was too short for Jiyeon, and she had yet to end her meeting with Jinki. And again, today also Jiyeon will affirm her feelings to Jinki. No matter what the man said. A Park Jiyeon, it only took a certain amount of reassurance so that she did not feel confused by her current status.

Everything was very heavy, even too embarrassing. How a woman must affirm her feelings many times in a man who is only loved. Various ways Jiyeon has done so that Jinki can reciprocate her feelings, but everything is in vain. Because Jinki is always apathetic towards all the things that have led up there. Jiyeon gained a great deal of courage because she was already very sure of her feelings. He wants Jinki to be honest, like what he considers a Park Jiyeon. Just friends, friends, or indeed have other feelings among it all.

It was not that Jiyeon had never asked about the other girl she felt was still in the heart of this man she admired so much. He can always feel if Jinki is still not free from the shadow of other girls in his mind. That's why, sometimes he acts very cold towards all the girls. Not even with Jiyeon.

For this time, Jiyeon brushed aside all her worries about it. He will accept all the decisions Jinki has to say. For the umpteenth time, she expressed feelings for the handsome man, as well as asking for firmness from him so that Jiyeon did not expect much. With a big heart, he was determined to accept everything Jinki said. And will listen to what reason he still can't accept it. Hopefully, the sweet girl can say everything boldly. And the man she loved was also able to accept it with pleasure.

“Jinki-ya, have you been bored all day with me? We have even more than 8 hours spent with”

“Ani... I'm not bored with you at all. You're that's so much fun. How can I be bored. I rarely get this close to a girl. You know better how I treat girlfriends. It might be a bit cold, because I'm not easy to be comfortable chatting a lot with a girl. But I. I feel close to you. Hem, almost the same as Gyuri”

“Jinja? Hem. Good”

Jiyeon stomped her feet to the ground and made the swing back sway. For a while he enjoyed the wind that hit his face and let his long hair fall and fall apart. The girl again stomped her feet to the ground and the swing stopped moving for a moment. Jiyeon, combing her hair with her fingers, then tidied up her bangs and looked back at Jinki who was smiling watching her.

“Jinki-ya. Do you remember how many times I said I liked you?”

His words without further ado.

“Huh? I think more than 10 times. But I'm not tired of hearing it”

This time Jiyeon's expression turned serious and made Jinki furrow her eyebrows with a confused look.

“You don't like me anymore?”

“Em, it could probably be like that” Jiyeon nodded briefly before continuing her words

“I've liked you since the first time we met. Actually in class. I blatantly said everything without hesitation or awkwardness. Maybe you consider me a shameless girl.”.

“Eiy, what did you say” interrupted Jinki between the sentences Jiyeon said.

“I don't care about everything. I am like this. Park Jiyeon, will reveal all her heart. If I am upset then I will be angry, if I am sad then I will cry, if I am happy then I will laugh. And if I fall in love, then I'll vent all my feelings of love. It was very relieved for me, because I did not harbor any feelings that only made my chest hurt. Wasting all those emotions was so fun”

“You really are a different girl. I liked your opinion just now”

“And this time, I'm getting bored with it all”

Jiyeon seemed silent for a moment. He again struck his foot to the ground and shook his swing, but only a few times. He stopped it again.

“I'm tired of saying I like you. Because you didn't respond to anything at all. You just smile and say.’Araseo’ ...” Jinki chuckled softly when she heard Jiyeon follow her tone. And then Jiyeon again explained her sentence.

“I hate that answer. At first I was able to accept it with pleasure. But over time, I started to feel like I was really such a shameless stupid girl. How can I really like a man, whereas he himself never had any feelings for me”

Their conversation began to turn serious. The atmosphere felt different when Jiyeon was not even willing to look Jinki in the eye when she spoke.

“Park Jiyeon, forgive me if it makes you feel uncomfortable”

“Nothing is wrong. You don't need to apologize” Jiyeon said firmly

“You just need to give me certainty. And I can decide what to do in the future”

“What do you mean?”

Jinki asked with a clueless look. It's actually too stupid if he doesn't understand. Only, Jinki was still trying to divert the conversation. Because he was sure, if it was like this then he had to convey what was in his heart. Jinki did not want Jiyeon to be hurt by hearing her narration.

“You do not understand or pretend not to understand. I asked for clarity on how you feel about me. I know, you still seem to be overshadowed by another figure who knows who. But I want you to explain it in your own words. I want you to make a firm decision and I can also decide how I should behave towards you. Everything will feel more relieved, right?”

“Ahm... i.. but..” Jinki began to lose concentration to get out a sentence. His mind raged and started to go unnoticed. Does he have to tell her everything he feels? Should I lie? But is not a coward a man who lies to a girl. Is it not shameful to do that?

“You sure you want to know my answer?”

Ask Jinki to make sure. He has gathered all his courage and will reveal everything that stands in his heart. This girl is right. It's not good for him to be treated like this.

“At this time I myself do not understand how I really feel about you. You are so sweet, beautiful, and kind. You're almost like Gyuri, because you both talk a lot. The only reason I'm not saying this is. Because someone I can't completely forget about”

Suddenly Jiyeon turned her gaze towards Jinki. He looked into the man's eyes deeply. It turns out that all her assumptions have been right. It turns out that Jinki still has feelings for other girls.

“Kim Gyuri...the only woman who has ever been in my heart in quite a long time”.

The words successfully made Jiyeon look great. His chest suddenly hurt and his breathing began to shorten. How could that girl be Kim Gyuri. His best friend since childhood, whom he loved very much. Is this world so narrow, that it must unite 3 friends in the same story.

Quiescent. That's what Jiyeon is doing right now. It was too difficult for him to articulate words and let out a voice that might make him speak a little. His eyes were even hot, and he wanted to shed his tears right then and there. But everything is very difficult.

“Me and Gyuri have been friends since we sat at the first level of SMA. At that time Gyuri was not well done by some of her friends. As we know, she's the only daughter of a rich family. It is not impossible that his friends have envy. He is also often used by friends who just want the money. I'm the only friend he trusts. My feelings for him changed. From the feeling of affection as a friend, it then turns into love. I protect her desperately, and look after her at all times. I was happy when she was finally willing to be my girlfriend, even though our relationship was hidden. Gyuri was banned from dating by her father on the grounds that she focused on studying. But after she got married, I think I know what the reason her father forbade her to date. Because Gyuri has been betrothed since she was a child. I had to accept the heartache when Gyuri married Donghae Hyung. The man who was destined for her. As long as you know, even though he is married, but we both remain as lovers”

It's like playing an old movie in his memory. Jinki so eloquently revealed everything about Gyuri. His mouth seemed to have memorized the events of the past, from the fun to the painful.

Although Jiyeon. He just bowed his head without making a sound. But the sobs started to sound a while later. Jinki tried to touch his shoulder or just rub his back to calm down. But when he reached out, he pulled back and clenched his palm tightly. He decided to continue his narrative before stopping Jiyeon's crying.

“The situation did not last long. After Gyuri got married, I began to realize how she really felt about me. All my attention, my defense, my love. Everything I gave him, he could repay well. Gyuri treated me as a lover very well. But that doesn't mean he's reciprocating my feelings either. After she got married, I understood what she really thought of me. Kim Gyuri. ahm. He never loved me at all. The girl only thinks of me as her best friend. And all he did to me, was a form of reciprocation to a friend who had defended him at all times. Isn't my fate so sad too? Huh?”

Jinki looked back at Jiyeon who was now starting to raise her face. Can be seen clearly, those tears were rushing down the cheeks of the beautiful girl sitting beside her. The tip of his nose looks red and his eyes are swollen. But that makes Jiyeon even more sweet.

“You know. I'm forgetting the shadow of the girl. Although it has not disappeared completely, but I think it has begun to disappear. Lee Gyuri, I really want to forget my feelings for her that are too deep. I want to erase all the sweet memories with her as a lover. I want to remember those memories as a very good friendship. I want to change my life and let go of all the ties that are too strong. And for that, I need someone”'s help

Jinki rose from her position and stood right in front of Jiyeon. The girl was still silent without speaking, and only tears kept coming out and wetting her cheeks. Jiyeon looks up to look at Jinki who is currently looking down and pulls her hands up.

“What...you mean? What.. which you mean by…. Someone's help?”

Jiyeon tries to say a sentence even though her lips are still shaking and punctuated with a slow stuffing. While Jinki just smiled while continuing to hold both hands Jiyeon who is now standing parallel to him.

“I need your help to forget it. I need your help to untie her too strong”

Jinki let go of her grip on Jiyeon's two hands and stuck out her hands to tidy up Jiyeon's long hair and tucked it behind her ear.

“Help me forget it. Make me crazy about you from now on. Park Jiyeon-ssi, be my lover”

A sentence that was unexpected at all. A sentence that felt like snow suddenly falling in the middle of summer. Everything was so shocking, too shocking to the point that Jiyeon could not utter any sentence other than silence. He looked into Jinki's eyes deeply, trying to find sincerity there, until he finally smiled and nodded lightly.

“Stop crying. And be the only girl who will be the center of my attention. Jiyeon-ah”

Jinki reached out both hands and cupped him on Jiyeon's cheek. Gently, he wiped the tears that were soaking his cheeks. Then bring her face closer and kiss the lips of the beautiful girl. Jinki felt warm when her lips came into contact with Jiyeon's lips, and then she moved her lips to feel a deeper warmth.

Everything feels very sweet, because at this time nothing is covered. There was no doubt between the two, they were both confident in their feelings. And as time goes by. Then the two will love each other.
