Promotion To Your Heart

Part 7

The conference resumed for the second half of the afternoon. Jisoo was already back on their table yet, Chaeyoung was not. She started to get worried, thus, sent Chaeyoung a message asking her whereabout. Minutes passed, she still didn't get a reply. She then decided to head to the restroom to look for her. Yet, no sign.

She went out of the conference hall. She headed to the bar first. Still, no sign. She went to the lobby. No sign. Lastly, she headed to the restaurant. She sent out a sigh of relief. Chaeyoung was there eating like a hungry cute wolf with a bunch of food she ordered. Jisoo chuckled at the sight of Chaeyoung's mouth wholly stuffed up with food. 'Such a cutie,' she thought. Yes, here she is falling for Chaeyoung, head over heels again.

"Would you like to have a table, ma'am?" A waiter asked her.

"No, it's okay. I am with her," Jisoo answered while pointing at Chaeyoung. The waiter then bowed at her and excused himself. She headed towards Chaeyoung. The latter seemed to have not noticed her presence yet.

"Excuse me, Miss Beautiful. Can I share a table with you?" she asked.

Chaeyoung was about to shake her head to decline until her eyes travelled towards the one asking her. Her eyes widened in shock, which Jisoo found to be so cute. Jisoo couldn't help but giggle from the sight. She didn't wait for an answer and occupied the seat opposite Chaeyoung's. She uttered, "Didn't I tell you we should have gone down for a decent meal earlier? Now, look who's hungry?"

Chaeyoung cleared her mouth first then took a drink before she answered, "I got hungry from the topics."

"Understandable. We only had cup noodles, then afterward, you even made me happy so, I bet you were really drained up for the day."

The thought of their intimate moment during lunch break made Chaeyoung blushed profoundly. She decided to redirect the topic, "Please help yourself. I think I ordered a lot."

"Thank you.." Jisoo proceeded to eat the pasta dish. "Though I must tell you. I have boundless energy. Even if you just give me cup noodles, I can still make you happy for the rest of the night." It was a successful attempt to make Chaeyoung get flushed again and shied away. Jisoo found her so fascinating to stare at.

Chaeyoung was giving in to Jisoo's charm again. Yet, this reminded her of the nasty conversation she heard earlier. Thus, she restrained herself from surrendering to the latter.

"Do you plan on skipping the remainder of the conference?" Jisoo asked.

"No, just the informational video presentation. The committee had already released that to the public a few weeks ago, anyway. There's still time to get back for the Q&A."

"Smart.." Jisoo responded then grinned.

"Why are you here, anyway?" Chaeyoung asked. Though, it sounded a bit snobbish.

"Didn't you get my message? I was looking for you."

"It's not like we need to know where each other are all the time. I told you we should stay low."

'Grumpy. Snobbish. Yet, still so cute,' Jisoo thought, then chuckled. "Yeah, I know. But that doesn't mean you should completely ignore me like this. It's not like the media can directly look at our phones and see we are texting each other." Chaeyoung avoided her gaze and pouted. She did not know what to respond to Jisoo. Jisoo then sighed and asked, "Tell me, did I do something wrong?"

Chaeyoung's eyebrows furrowed, "What do you mean?"

"Why are you acting like this?"

"Didn't I tell you-"

"I don't think this is just about keeping it low.." Jisoo said, immediately cutting her out. "If it's only staying low profile, you should have just shooed me away now."
