Minghao offered him numerous ideas but not any of them made his heart flutter.

It was Yunhee's birthday. And Jun always had this wish to celebrate her birthday in his own best way with her. Although he is still in that phase where he didn't really open up about his emotions to Yunhee but yes, they are on better terms now.

They meet from time to time, hang out and even spend their quality hours in the library when they get time.

Like real friends.

After so many years of her school life, Yunhee found a friend, that too not someone her age, but senior. But could Jun totally come out of his shell, breaking the insecurities he faced after learning about Yunhee's heart that day?

No, that isn't easy.

Till now, he is being extremely careful about each step he is taking towards a future with Yunhee.

Yunhee on the other hand, wants Jun to break free from the walls he has built up around him, just to not get hurt. Yet again, she doesn't want to nullify his fears. She doesn't want to make him hurry to take any decision. She wants to wait until he totally and freely opens up.

It's been three months. Jun visits Seoul on the weekends while works his head off during the weekdays. A few things he has left in his apartment in Seoul and sometimes when he comes back during the weekend and both Yunhee and Hao are busy, he would shoot some vlogs like he used to do.

There was a lesson he learned about himself in these months. And that was about his comfort zone. He definitely loved his job as a digital creator and assisted many productions under his seniors. However, after working in the firm adjusting to a daily monotonous routine, he realised that he loves being independent. Regular jobs are just not his things.

That's why when Minghao expressed his desire to set up his own fashion brand after his graduation, Jun was readily supportive of the idea. If not him, at least Hao can get a taste of being his own boss like that.

His mind was travelling from the sky to the ground aimlessly when suddenly he heard a knock on the door of his cabin.
"Hello, sir!" The junior employee greeted him with a smile. "Boss asked if you could take a job interview of a new applicant instead of him today!"

"Oh, me?" Jun was absolutely shocked to hear that. "What kind of job is it?"

"Ah I don't know much Sir. I think it's the job of a cooking instructor we will need for our next cooking show involving celebrities.. Please take care of it. The applicant is present for the interview, Sir!"
He relayed the message from the Boss and left the cabin after a polite bow.

He thought for a second before picking up his ID card and laptop with him and went straight to the room where the applicant was supposed to sit. That room was on the further side of the building. As he clicked the door open, a middle aged female greeted him with a polite smile on her face.

She was much older than Jun. Maybe she's in good need of a job, so she applied. Her not so tall figure was wrapped with a plain green shirt and black trousers. But something was strikingly noticeable about her face.

Jun didn't know what he found so familiar about this woman. He decided to sit down and begin the course of conversation required for the purpose of the interview.

"Good morning sir!" The lady spoke.

"Good morning, ma'am. Can you hand me over your CV? And introduce yourself please!" Jun asked.

"Yes sure" she softly pulled out the hard copy of her CV from her side bag and put it on the desk motioning it towards Jun, "My name is Min Eunha and I'm 43 years old. I do a really good job at cooking and I can guide the show well as per my experience. As you can see, at this age it's not super easy to get a suitable job for oneself, I would like to express my extreme interest in getting accepted to this job. Please take care of me!" She bowed a little to Jun, which so to speak, Jun found a really humble gesture coming from the other end.
