She cancelled her photoshoot that day to be able to be with him.
Predictably, he stayed at The Savoy, since it was owned by his family.
They met for lunch, and she realized how much she missed him the second they saw each other again.
"Go Eun-ah, how have you been?"
She said nothing and just moved forward to hug him. It was a surprise. He expected some coldness, not this warmth.
She held both his hands on top of the restaurant's table, her childhood habit when she's extra emotional, either when she's very sad or very happy.
She busily told him about her modeling work and her social life but avoided to say anything about the last time she talked with her mother, or about her relationship with Chanyeol.
Upon her questions, he told her that his studies went well and that he'd definitely graduate on time, which was a year from then.
That night, she followed him to his hotel room, lying on one bed with him. It was something they did often in the past since she saw him as her brother.
"How much longer are you going to stay here?"
"I'm not sure yet."
"...........you must return next autumn if you want to resume your study at Yonsei."
"What do you mean? I quit!"
"No, you didn't quit. You took a break. I filed for that, soon after you left."
That took her by surprise. She sat up and stared at him.
It was an option she forgot to consider. An option he gave her.
"You can't be a model forever, Go Eun-ah. I think on average, a model can only be active for 5 years before they change their careers to something more long-lasting. And you never even wanted or planned to be a model to begin with. Please resume your study, get your degree. Return to Korea."
"I'm still very angry with Omma."
"Don't run away for too long, I'm begging you. You can do a lot more than this. I'm not saying being a supermodel is bad, but you're Sunsuhan's Kim Go Eun. You have so much potentials."
"I'm not even sure I want to be Sunsuhan's Kim Go Eun."
"You don't even need to be Sunsuhan's. Build your own company from scratch if you must."
He had always spoken to her in such gentle tones, that it shook her that night when he sounded so frustrated.
