Trap in the sea

(6)

The person's whose face she didn't want to see was here again. Call it bad luck or fate. Destiny was indeed playing with her at this foreign land. 

Bora and Nari screamed seeing him again. They asked about Rachel he said she was tired from thr trip so was resting at the hotel so he came to the beach to enjoy the sunset but seeing you all here just made my day. The last line he said while looking at Seol. 

He couldn't understand her facial expression. He couldn't understand what was she thinking. He had seen millions of girls, he dated many so he could tell what they wanted. 

He knew girls swooned over him but she didnt, he knew they didn't start off well and she knows he is a con but still he craved for her attention. He didn't understand why. 

*****************************

It was summer yet it was cool at night so they had arranged a bon fire and gathered. They were going to eat grilled meat and enjoy each other's company. 

Choi Yong Do and Seol were singing duets , while Nari and Eun soep were dancing. Bora and Eun tak were cheering and singing along. 

Soon Rachel and Hoon Joon Jae had arrived. They loved the atmosphere not so hot not so cold but soothing. The meat looked yummy. Rachel just dived into the grill area wanting to eat while Hoon Joon Jae was mesmerised by her voice. 

She was singing 'I ll never love again ' with Choi Young Do. As much as he liked listening her sing he felt strange whenever she was with Young Do. He didn't quiet understand why. He was 27 and had dated many but yet he didn't understand this strange feeling he had whenever he saw seol. 

After dinner everyone left for their rooms while seol called him to wait. He was surprised that she had called him first because it was always other way round and he knew the he was the one person she do want to see. 

Seol picked her bag and handed him his ring. Take this. Hope we never meet again. 

Hearing this made him sad. He felt pain. O--okay. 

She was walking back into the hotel but she stopped when she heard. 

Seol -aah.... 

Do I like you? 

****************************

3 days later. 

The Talent hunt program results were announced. Seol and team didnt win but were selected among top 3 candidates which meant they could get jobs after graduation from any company they liked in Korea. 

As soon as they landed in Seoul she screamed as her mother had come to pick her up. 

She hugged her mom. I missed you so much mom. I missed your home cooked kimchi. 

They were all felicitated in college for being the top three candidates and representing their college on a global platform. 

Seol was offered an opportunity to work with Jegkuk construction with a good pay scale. This meant she had job before she even gradudated. She was so happy. She had finally what she wanted. 

Her other pals also had landed jobs before graduation at their respective choices. 

****************************

Nam Jo and Tae Hoon were shocked. It was like they were hit by 404 Volt electricity. This was because Hoon Joon Jae had suddenly decided that this shall be the last con. 

They had asked the reason but he didn't utter a word and said it was something personal. 

******************

Flash back on 

Seol.... Do I like you? 

What? 

 I know we didn't start off right but even if we don't want to we bump into each other again and again.... Don't you think it's like destiny.....bringing us together....... 

Stop your nonsense. When I meant I didnt want to see you I meant I dont want to see you ever. Look at the audacity you have. A con artist who robbed me is telling me he likes me! Well even if you are the last man on earth I would never choose you. How can anyone trust you when all you do is lie. Your whole life is a lie. Please I request you to stay away from me. Never ever show me your face again. 

Saying this she left. 

While Hoon Joon Jae watched her go...... 

Flashback off 

********************"""

It was the D-Day for execution of their con. 

Tae Hoon had hacked their server & security and got the information required for the next move. Nam Jo had entered the CEO cabin and had hypnotized him and used his fingerprint to unlock the locker and taken the money and jewellery. 

The plan was executed successfully. 

Rachel and her father were shocked when they come to know the company referred by Jae was fraud and they were conned. They couldn't file a police complaint as it will only degrade their reputation that the CEO was robbed by hypnotizing at day time with tight security. 

Rachel still couldn't believe it was him. She tried contacting him but it seemed he vanished. 

**************************

3 years later 

Hoon Joon Jae had returned from Spain. He was now a well known professional lawyer. He was back in Korea. His company had transferred him to Korea to handle the case going with their rivals and few localist. 

Few years back when he was into conning people he never thought that he would come this far. That he could earn without deceiving people. That he could sleep peacefully without thinking that any HNI or gangster was against his life. He had come a long way. It wasn't easy. But he was finally out of his dark past and he was only thankful to one person. The person who he met in USA. 

He hoped he could meet her and thank her. He hoped she would change her mind. He hoped she wouldn't say anything like she said that night when he confessed he liked her. He hoped he could re-start with her again. 

He hoped.
