Reunited

Chapter 8

Third Person's Point of view

   Constant rings from the other line echoed on the four wall exquisite room of one of the first-rate and expensive hotel in Madrid. A few more rings, Soo Hyun, annoyed and irritated, decided to pick it up, without knowing the caller id is.

   Before someone on the other line has the chance to speak up, he spoke his mind first, with same reason he's been telling them the whole time.

   "I told you, I just need a break." He sighed, tired of explaining.

  "Yah! Where are you exactly? And why is it on the overseas call? Don't tell me, you flew out Korea?!" the man on the other line says, panic and tension are strongly evident on his voice.

  "I flew out Korea." he answered back, making the man on the other line grunts, who happens to be his cousin also, the one who's also the major shareholder of the agency he's currently under the management of.

  "Are you insane?! What exactly are you doing now? You want a break right? Come on, let's just go to, Jeju or Busan or wherever it is. I have no idea why did you suddenly want a break, when your career is rising like a bullet." his cousin continued rambling, he just shut his eyes again still lying on his bed while phone is on his ear, supporting the weight of it as he doesn't even bother to hold it. He knows that it's gonna be a long talk again, like the first time when he brought this idea of him taking a break for a while.

   "I just don't understand you. I mean why now?A lot of projects and commercial films are basically lining up and pleading for you to consider them. Yet, you're nowhere to be found now.  You know if you're not my cousin, I would have dragged you all the way here and pay for the damages."  He continued to complain, and when he got no response from the other line. His cousin sighed, giving up convincing Soo Hyun, there's no point of it when he already made up his mind.

  Instead, he thought of bargaining with him.

  "I'm giving you a month." He defeatedly say, " For now, I'm just gonna hold all your activities, and gonna take care of the brands too, hopefully no one would cancel."

   "A month is not enough, give me three."

  "Three?! Are you freaking kidding me man? Do you want me to go all bankrupt?"

  "I did tons of cfs last month, I think we'll be feed still well for the next three months."

  "Yah. What are you really trying to do?"

  "I'll follow my happiness from now on." He said hanging up the phone, feeling determined of his decision now, he's aware that there will be a big risk on this, but he decided to trust his choice this time.

      Parting their ways after exchanging their contacts, a way for them to keep in touch even outside the university, Yeaji made her final wave to her new acquaintances she met at the university.
  
   She felt so thrilled meeting new people in a wider range, at first she was feeling uneasy thinking that having a different race than the majority would make her feel left out. Unsurprisingly, the people in her class are welcoming and approachable, as she seen that they were various race too in her class.

      With the dark clouds on, she looked up to the grey sky, inferring that any time soon the clouds would pour down the rain. She continued to walk towards the main exit. The sensation of small raindrops on her arm causes her to walk faster. Of all things that she could forget, why is it her umbrella, and of all days for rain to pour, why is is now when she doesn't have an umbrella. She  hugged the books in her arm shielding it from the raindrops as she felt it's getting stronger.
