Scars

Part two

I was often in charge of planning selected parties for the celebrities. Of course we have a whole team of professionals who are helping but the event coordinator is usually me. I love my job even if it requires a lot of multitasking and working under pressure.  The truth is that I.m doing my best when I'm working under stress. Maybe it's my competitive side that boosts my brain cells or the love for adrenaline. Outside my working hours my life is extremely boring. Maybe that's why I chose to date Yoon-Gi. I quickly brushed off this thought. I can't afford to think about him right now. Not here, not while I'm working.

Today I was in charge of organizing a selected party where a lot of celebrities and  important business leaders were going to be present. After talking with the client and hearing out what he wanted, it was my job to make it happen.. The client had two requests: a flower themed party and a location "that screams elegance and royalty". I must admit that even I was in awe at how beautiful this place turned out to be.

The dark colors that "screamed elegance", the hanging flowers from the tall ceiling and the hanging lanterns made the place look straight out of a fairy tale.This time I chose to be in charge of the visuals of the place and logistics. I chose not to be in charge of the invitee list and the guests. Of course I knew that big celebrities were coming and I knew the number of guests ,but I chose one of my friends and employees at our company to be in charge of this part. In the back of my mind I knew exactly who's gonna be present here tonight. And I had to stop thinking about that before my thoughts start to race and I won't be able to switch them off.

Just when I was about to go to the kitchen to see if everything it's okay there  I heard a deep voice behind me:

"-One can always count on you to make every place look like a fairy tale. You never fail to deliver the best! "
It wasn't necessary to turn around and see who's behind me. I would recognise that voice in a million. His voice was deep and calm and it was supposed to make someone feel relaxed but it had the exact opposite effect on me. All night I feared I would meet him but I secretly hoped that he would ignore me.

"-Hey Yoon-Gi! I'm glad you like the place! Didn't know you were coming too. You're usually an introvert who likes to stay home."

I was trying to act nonchalantly but the truth was I was unable to meet his gaze and I was staring at my shoes, but I felt his gaze on me. I was so angry at myself that he still has that effect on me, he is still able to make me feel small and insignificant. I finally raised my gaze from my shoes and was now looking at one of the many mirrors in the room. I saw his reflection in a full length mirror: eyes still as I remembered, tight with pain,

crossed arms and a rather sarcastic smile on his face. Maybe that smirk was a defensive mechanism for him, but he was so handsome when that smirk was on his lips. He was breathtakingly beautiful wearing that dark elegant suit.

He oozes confidence and I was intimidated. It should be illegal to be that attractive while being so arrogant.

"-I'm not denying that I would gladly be at home with a beer in hand on the sofa, but I was hoping to see an old friend here."

"-Well I hope you will find that friend and I hope you'll have a great night." I was about to leave but his voice,this time almost like a whisper, stopped me:"-I've already found her!"
