Serenade [Daerin]

Spin-Off [Sofia and Hyein]

"Where do you like to have breakfast?" Sofia turned on the music and steered the car to the left.
"Anywhere you want Unnie." Hyein typed something on her cell phone.
"How about the coffee shop near the Liyuin building? Your photo shoot is there, right?"
"Yeah, I'm actually still sleepy, I hate the morning schedule. I always fall asleep when I'm waiting for my turn" Hyein pouted.

Sofia chuckled, "But you love modeling."
"Of course! I want to run on the catwalk, shot by famous photographers, and featured in high fashion magazines." Hyein's eyes sparkled.

"Of course you'll achieve all that. I have connections if you want."
"Unnie, I still have a lot to learn. I don't want to jump into the professional world without having much experience."
Sofia glanced at her, "I'm proud of you."
Hyein smiled widely.

20 minutes later

Hyein put her french toast and frappuccino on the table, she was about to sit down when a hand pulled and hugged her, "Where have you been? I missed you!" came a girl's cheerful voice.

Hyein raised her eyebrows and returned the girl's hug in confusion, she then looked at her, her eyes immediately lit up, "Oh, hey!" she laughed, "How are you?" she hugged the girl.
"It's boring because you're not around." the girl puckered her lips.

Sofia sipped her cappuccino awkwardly and glanced at the girl.

So beautiful.
She was only slightly shorter than Hyein, and her body, slim with a slightly full chest, her waist was curvy, so perfect.

And looking young, she must be around Hyein's age.

Hyein then turned to look at Sofia, she held the girl's arm, "Unnie, this is..."
"I'm Ga Hui, this cutie's special friend." the girl extended her hand to Sofia.

Special friend? What does that mean?

Sofia accepted the girl's hand, "Sofia Marsh."
Ga Hui widened her eyes, "Marsh? From the Marsh family? The owner of Marsh Corporate?" she flicked her jet black hair.
Sofia smiled a little, "Yes."
"Wow, it's an honor to meet you, you are so gorgeous." Ga Hui smiled widely.

"Have you had breakfast?" Hyein sat on the chair, Ga Hui waved her hand, "I brought bread in my bag, I'm starting in half an hour anyway, I have to go upstairs right now."
"Okay, my photoshoot is at 9."
Ga Hui then leaned down and kissed Hyein, right on the corner of her lips.

Sofia turned her face away.

"Then I'll see you later." Ga Hui smiled, she then bowed her head to Sofia and left them.

Sofia picked up her bag and stood up, Hyein furrowed her brows, "Unnie?"
"Ah, I just remembered, I have a meeting with a customer this morning."
The young woman then walked away quickly, leaving her coffee still steaming, and an astonished Hyein behind.

Evening, 07:46 pm - Massisda Food Building, Product Marketing Director's Room.

The mahogany door opened, "Miss, I'm leaving now, is there anything else you need?"
Sofia stopped typing and looked at her assistant, "No Miss Geum, you may go home. Be careful on the way." she smiled.
The short-haired woman nodded and closed the door.

Sofia checked her cell phone, there were 5 missed calls from Hyein, 2 calls made this afternoon, and the rest at 7 pm this evening, but there were no text messages from the girl.

She sighed, she purposely didn't pick up Hyein's calls. She was upset, and jealous.

Sofia scoffed.

She held her feelings for one and a half years like a fool, only hoping but not daring to reveal.
