Mend my broken heart

Chapter 19

Last night was an emotional rollercoaster for me. It all started from Jin Woo acting oddly to me. I don't even know what triggered his behaviour, then to me having an outburst. I was so hurt that I said some things that I thought I have moved on from. However, I was glad I said what I have been harbouring in my mind. It was bound to happen, but I am glad it ended we. He showed remorse and apologised to me.

I decided not to go to my shop and just rest at home yesterday. We both spent our day at home taking care of Soo Ah and just talking about everything and nothing. He shared his struggles at finding a job and how hard the construction work is on him. He went further as showing me the scars he sustains during his work. I couldn't help but feel sad for him. Afterall, he was born into wealth and has been living a wealthy lifestyle. This is a total 180 degree change for him.

Today I am at the store doing my job. I already hired one assistant since work has gotten busier and Hyo Jin cannot help all time. Although I still design style for a cheaper price but hey, it brings me enough customers and I am contended with that.

"Hey Jin Ah" Joon Hee greeted me.

"Hey" I replied to him

"How are you doing? How is work?" he asked me

"It's all good" I replied as I continue to work. Joon Hee made himself comfortable as he watches me work. It feels like he wants to say something but doesn't want to interrupt me. So, I took the liberty to break the silence

"Are you okay? You are just sitting there in silence" I said

"I am waiting for you to be done. I have got an interesting news for you" a big smile formed on his face

"An interesting new?" Jin Ah adjusted herself to focus on him

"I don't want to distract you. Finish what you are doing first" he replied

"You are not...just say want you want to say" I try to push him to talk

"okay" he says, and he passed me an envelope. I opened the envelope, and I noticed an invitation card to an art gallery.

"This is nice, but I don't think I can go. I will be busy working" I try to respectfully decline the invitation

"I am not taking you there just to have fun. Look at the invitation card once again" he pointed at a particular line

I looked to the line he pointed at and i see my name being highlighted in the card "What?" I was shocked, this is confusing. I don't understand what is going on. I was shocked and clueless at the same time.

"What...is...this?" I stuttered

"Well, I talked to my friend who will be hosting guest and showcasing his artwork. I asked him to create a small space for you to showcase your designs" he try not to exaggerate how big the event it

I kept quiet still trying to grasp what he is trying to explain. So instead, i kept looking at him, encouraging him to speak further.

"Basically, you will be displaying your designs there" he summarize everything in a sentence

I was stunned. Did i hear what he is saying correctly? He hasn't even say anything about paying him "But...I mean...how much do I have to pay?" I asked

"You don't have to pay... he is a very good friend of mine. Another benefit is that people with high profile comes to see the artwork" he clarifies

"What??? I don't have to pay?? This is too much" I said as my emotions are running high. This opportunity is too big. My designs which be displayed in a place where rich high profiled people will visit. There is 99 percent success rate from this opportunity but at what cost. I know Joon Hee has feelings for me, and me taking this might be me taking advantage of that feeling.
