Mr. Park

15.

It was later in the day and Hyejin was about to leave to pick up Jaeje.

She got in the car ready to go when to her shock the car didn't start.

She tried again, but it was no use, she got out going to check for the problem.

She was starting to wonder if she should have paid for more attention in her basic technology class in school because she had no idea how to even check for the problem.

"Is everything alright?" she turned around to see that it was Mr. Park that had spoken.

"No, my car won't start and I have to go pick up Jaeje" she replied.

"Hm, I can drive you home if you like, I'll call Heeseung and ask him to drive her home, I can send over my mechanic to check the car out and leave it back here once he's done" Mr. Park offered.

She contemplated about it for a few seconds before agreeing.

"Okay, lemme text her" she said as they both walked to Mr. Park's car where the driver was already waiting.

"Mr. San we'll be dropping off Miss Hwang today" her boss said to the driver who responded with a hum and started driving out of the parking lot.

It was silent in the car with the only noise coming from the busy city outside as Hyejin turned to look through the window.

She had always admired how beautiful Seoul was, it was one of the many reasons she had moved here.

She sat admiring the view for awhile before the voice of her boss snapped het out of her thoughts.

"It's a lovely night" was all he said, noticing how she was daydreaming while looking through the window.

"The nights are always lovely here" she replied back glancing at him for a second before turning back.

If she noticed him gazing at her for a few seconds longer, she didn't comment.

"So would you?" she asked him.

"Would I what?" he glanced at her confused.

"Would you have become an Idol if you weren't a CEO" she said.

"I would have tried" he replied.

"I'm sure you would have become one" she said.

"How do you know?" he said.

"I have a feeling" she said.

"Never without my friends though" He said.

"Maybe in some alternate reality" she said.

"Where I could be whatever I wanted to be" he said.

"Always" she smiled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thank you for the drive home Mr. Park" Hyejin said stepping down from the car.

"Jay." he said.

"What?" she asked.

"When we're not working, call me Jay, I think you've earned it" was the last thing he said before signaling the driver to go.

"Jay...." she tested out before a grin broke out on her face as she started to walk up to their apartment.

"What has you buzzing?" her friend asked as she scrolled through channels on their TV.

"I have earned the right to call my boss by his name when we're not working" she said going to the kitchen to get a drink.
