Jeon and Jia are in love but refuse to break the bond of their friendship. Content with not revealing what they feel for each other, they decide not to date other people and remain constantly together even after graduation. Embarking on lofty career...
Jia was meeting Hei-Won in a coffee place near Hobi's office. They were going to discuss strategies for Hope Closet's website and Facebook page, along with some traditional PR activities for the holidays. She hoped they would have a productive meeting and after, a heart-to-heart talk that can clear the air between them. She valued their friendship and wished she could appease Hei-Won.
"Hi Jia," Hei-Won said, surprisingly looking refreshed and more cheerful than the last time they met. She also looked pretty today, dressed in corporate tweeds.

"Hello Hei-Won," Jia responded back warmly. "I see you ordered already. Let me just get coffee then we can discuss, ok?"
They finally settled down to work. Surprisingly, they worked well together, with no sign of personal tension. They complimented each other's ideas and made suggestions on how to make some even better. By the time they were done, both were satisfied that they had a very strong presentation for Hope Closet.
"I guess we can meet with Hobi now to present our ideas," Jia said, inserting her MacBook into its sleeve.
They went to Hobi's office for their scheduled meeting and presented their plans and programs. Hobi was so impressed and happy with the programs they came up with. He liked how fast they worked and came up with tailor-fit programs for the needs of his brands.
"I was right in tapping you both to help me. These ideas have fired me up. How soon can we start?"
"Some of these, we can start immediately. The events, we can coordinate with media first," Hei-Won said, smiling.
"Jia, thanks for agreeing to endorse the sports line. I also like your suggestion to tap other vloggers as influencers."
"No problem, Hobi. I already took note of the schedules Hei-Won proposed, to earmark them on my calendar. I will meet with the vloggers you like and get their schedules as well."
"Well, I guess since we're done, we can go to our next step. Secure the necessary permits for the events, so that we can start with the promotions and coordination. It's near lunch, how 'bout we have lunch, my treat?" Hobi looked at Hei-Won for confirmation and Jia noticed the interaction. They were looking at each other so sweetly, she felt that maybe Hei-Won might like to spend time with just Hobi and not have her around for a third wheel.
"Hobi, I'll have to pass. I have another appointment."
"Oh, too bad. So it's just us two then," He said smiling at Hei-won.
"I'll just put these documents in my car. I'll meet you at the lobby, ok?" She nodded at Jia and stepped out of the meeting room.
"Jia, do you have a minute? I just wanted to discuss something quickly with you."
"Sure Hobi. What's up?"
"Jia, how are things with you?"
"Oh. They're ok I guess. Hei-Won and I discussed the programs well if that's what you mean. We're ok on a professional level. Beyond that, I guess I just have to wait till things ease up if you know what I mean."
