Stuck on You

The Crestfallen

Hello everyone! I'm sorry for the slow updates. It took me some time to find the best way to deliver the conflict in this story. Also, I just finished my final exam today. But I thanked you for your patience. Hope you can leave votes and comments too for supports! And enjoy this chapter!💛

'I'm looking forward to work with you, Mr. Song.' Song Il Woo shook her hand after both parties signed the contract. This marked the involvement of Songhae Group in SJ Hotels and Resorts.

After the lunch meeting has ended, Yejin walked Mr. Song to the lobby where his car has waiting for him.

'Send my regard to Bin, Ms. Son. And I hope I'll see him in Hyekyo's death anniversary next week. He always comes every year for these past five years. I'd be really glad if you can convey this to him.'

Her pupil dilated for a second before she smiled at Mr. Song. Not wanting anyone to notice how bewildered she was.

'I'll make sure to tell him, Mr. Song. Good afternoon.' And just like that Mr. Song left with his car, while Yejin still trying to process what she heard before.

Many thoughts running through her head all day. This also reminded Yejin about several texts she got a few weeks ago. When someone continuously sending her messages about Bin impregnated someone in the past, hiding something from her, and even he is the reason behind her death. She wondered if this 'woman' from Bin's past is referred to as Song Hyekyo.

As much as Yejin wanted to ask him about this, Bin had just left for a business trip to Melbourne two days ago. And in a relationship, miscommunication can be a thorn in one's flesh. She'd rather wait for him to come home and talk to Bin in person rather than risk their new relationship.

'Are you coming home this weekend, Bin?' Yejin talked to him over the phone after she arrived home. She opened the fridge to grab some snacks and sat behind the kitchen island.

'I probably will be back in two weeks. Turns out I need to sort out some deals here, Yej.' He sounded really tired but a little smile can be heard through his voice. It was six in the evening in Seoul, so it must be around eight in Melbourne.

Yejin stayed in silence for a moment, before she softly said 'I miss you.' She would take the first flight to Melbourne if she could but with the soft opening in two weeks, she had no other choice to stay in Seoul.

Her three words were like an instant boost for him. There is an urge to finish his works as soon as possible and meet his beloved wifey in Seoul. 'I miss you too, my picky princess.'

He asked her some questions regarding the progress of the hotel and promised her that he'll come home before the soft openings.

'Ah, I met Mr. Song from Songhae Group today, Bin. He told me that he hoped to see you next week in Song Manor.'

Bin hastily replied to what she said, 'It's okay, I'll tell him myself that I won't be there this year.'

'This year? So, he knew that it was about Song Hyekyo's death anniversary?' This thought made tears welling up in her eyes.

'Alright, I'll wait for you here. Take care, Bin. And don't forget to buy my favorite Haigh's chocolate too!' Yejin tried her hardest to sounded like her usual self but her shaky voice made it almost impossible to hide her tears.

Even with the soft opening just around the corner and the office relocation, it didn't made Yejin forget about what Mr. Song said before. It gets harder as the day passed while Bin most likely won't come home until next week. So, she decided to call Bin's older brother to ask some questions regarding Hyekyo.
