BEAUTIFUL

Beautiful: beau·ti·ful
/ˈbyo͞odəfəl/ is pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically.
-Oxford Dictionary-

Interviewer:
"What do you think that makes a woman beautiful?"

KGE:
"There's one thing I want from myself, and it's always to be a person with a healthy mind and heart. It's more difficult than I thought. Of course, it would be great to be physically beautiful to many people's eyes, but if I try to change myself to satisfy a set standard of beauty, I feel like I'll exhaust myself. It'll continue clashing with my own unique creativity. I believe everyone is beautiful in their own way."

Interviewer:
"What do you think of being a woman?"

KGE:
"Women are beautiful purely for existing. Every age bracket brings a new kind of beauty, and it's so clear with each group. It's like cutting into a rock and finding a diamond; the whole process of being born as a girl and growing into a woman is so beautiful."

"Dongsaeng, are you home? I need to talk to you about the Apple project. I know you might think it's ridiculous of them to ask you for an audition after they had offered you the opportunity. It's understood. But I think the audition is good for you. I believe you need to think about it. Let me know when you're free."

LMH pouted as he read LYJ's text. He didn't like the idea of doing the audition. He thought of ditching the project if they had to make him get through that unnecessary audition. Moreover, LMH was still considering it. He was not 100 percent sure about taking part in that big project yet. There were so many things to be considered. Never had he ever chosen his project carelessly.

LMH didn't think he was too good to audition; that was not it. If only they had have requested him to audition from the very start, he might appreciate their offer even more. He probably would consider it fun and challenging to have an audition after a decade. They should have known better LMH loved challenges.

KGE glanced at her pouty boyfriend, who was sitting beside her on the dining table. They just finished their lunch with only bacon and egg instead of LMH's favorite bossam. KGE chuckled as she stroked his thick and silky hair gently. She had to admit that this gorgeous man could be childlike and looked like a spoiled little boy when he was upset. KGE found it adorable and cute, though. She pinched his pouty lips and chirped,

"Is that YunJeong Eonnie? I guess it's time for you to go to work. If you need to go, just go now. I wouldn't mind, chagiya..." KGE kissed his cheek fondly.

LMH glared at her.
"Mwo? Do you want me to leave you now?"
"Hahaha... Do you think I do?"
"I don't know... You might be bored with me... Just tell me!"
"Haissh... Are you having a PMS, LMH-sshi?"

LMH snorted irritably as he grabbed KGE's shoulder and said, "I plan not to leave your side this whole day. Not even a second! So brace yourself, and endure your boredom until I set out to disappear from your side for the whole week tomorrow."

"Whaaa...Such a beautiful speech you got there, LMH-sshi."KGE clapped her hands and teasingly said, "How do you know that I am starting to feel bored of you?" She glanced at him while removing his arm from her shoulder. She grinned mischievously.

LMH gaped and stared at his annoying girlfriend. He knew his girlfriend was teasing him, but he was in a bad mood at the moment. He squinted his eyes and gave her a suspicious look.

"Yaaah!! Baby!! Jinjihage? Are you really bored with me? That you are so excited to be left alone for a week??" LMH glared at KGE's hand, which had just brushed his hand off her shoulder. KGE couldn't help but chuckle at the cute expression on her annoyed boyfriend's face.
