Jisoo

" You look surprisingly in a good mood , early in the morning .. Should I be scared , Kim ? " Seulgi beamed as she sipped a freshly brewed coffee in my desk ..

I took the already signed papers in front of her before looking up .. " Is that a bad thing ? "

I press the speed dial in the phone , to call my secretary inside my office ..

" No , of course not ! There was just some different glow around you , just wondering why .. " she said , narrowing her eyes , inspecting me ..

I looked at her for a second before shaking my head as I study the papers in my hand .. Just before she interrogates me Gregory Black enters the office . Greeting both of us in such a politely formal manner . Before standing as tall as ever in front of my desk .

" You need anything , Miss Kim ? " he asked ..

" Greg , you do know what to do with this , settle everything for the Hongs .. Their arrival will be in the other day , get the most expensive room for them to occupy . Do it together with Manoban Ent. , the investors wanted to keep everything private . " I said playing a pen in my hand before handing him the papers ..

He took it while murmuring a ' yes ma'am ' for my commands ..

" Also the project in Busan , about the library museum expansion .. " I trailed off , remembering of what was the last update about that one .. I heard a restrained gasped from the other side of the table , which is clearly , Seulgi . With a furrowed brows she looked at me before looking at my secretary then again back at me ..

" Clear a day in my schedule for next week , I'll see it myself .. Prepare everything we needed before the time . " I said , turning my seat slightly so I could take a great view of Seoul , in early morning , out from my ceiling to floor glass walled office ..

" I'll fix everything in no time , Ma'am . Is that could be all ? "

Leaning in my seat , I placed both my elbows in the armchair , clasping my fingers all together before nodding absentmindedly .. I let myself be drown by the epic view in front of me . Thinking about what happen earlier in the convenient store .. Thinking about her .

I didn't know how Greg drag himself out of my office . I didn't notice that Seulgi was been calling my name for the last 5 minutes , until a loud slammed in my desk heard all over the room . I jumped a little as a reaction , and I turned myself , facing her with a sour expression and a hand placed in my chest ..

" Seulgi ! What the hell ?! " I exclaimed .. Exhaling sharply , while rubbing my palm in my chest coaxingly . Calming the raged beating of my heart ..

" What ? I've been calling you since , forever .. What happened to you ? You just zoned out , you dimwit ! " she hissed .. Leaning back to her seat as she sipped shamelessly in her coffee .

I shake my head and glared at her . Restraining myself from blowing my best friend right at the exact moment .. " Nothing ! I was just .. " Inhaling deeply , I shake my head again .. " I was just thinking what time Yerim will be arriving . We still have conference meeting with the board and another with the shareholders online before lunch .. " I lied looking at the papers in my desk that still needed to be signed by me .

She hummed in response , nodding her head slowly .. I know , Seulgi doesn't buy my excuses , but doesn't pushed me either . I won't tell the truth , anyway ..

I don't want them to worry about me that much . Jennie is such a delicate issue for me .. The woman could turn my whole world , upside down , even just by a snap of her fingers . She's my life . Since the first time I saw her , my heart took a backflip together with her hair waving in the air as she walked passed me , and at the millisecond her chocolate brown eyes first met my dark brown .. I felt like she's in a slow motion . I knew at that very moment , she's the one for me . I never let her slipped away . Until that traumatic tragedy happened .. In a mere minutes , I turned my back on her , my world crashed , with her car and her .
