TWO DAYS AFTER




Thanks to the massage, the swell has reduced, but it still hurts. Jennie thought as she walked slowly at their office to get to her desk again after getting a cup of coffee.


“ Jen, you’re foot still hurts? “ Yerim approached her when she took a chair wincing.


Jennie gave her a small smile, saying she was alright and can go on the day. She sipped from her cup and opened her desktop, only to spit her coffee sprinkling all over her table when she caught something in her notifications.


Yerim came near her table and peered over. She looked at Jennie’s computer and saw the news. While Jennie was coughing hard from her seat.


HEADLINES: Kim Jisoo’s private life was pictured. It shows he took his new girlfriend to the hospital. Never so tender.


Two photos were displayed in the news report, Jennie was certain who Jisoo was carrying from that photo.



“ Oh, it has hit the headlines for two days! “ Yerim beamed. Still looking at the photo from Jennie’s monitor, “ Jen, you can’t imagine how hot the follow-up news is, “


Jennie just listened to Yerim, while she wiped her table clean, before cleaning herself and shake her head.


“ Someone there saw her taking her girlfriend to the orthopedic clinic. “ Yerim continued, grinning as Jennie looked again in the photos, “ Search is so amazing, it said that she called out the best doctor, but it was just a twisted foot in the end. “



Jennie squirmed at her seat, trying to make herself as small as she can, cause, well, she was the ‘ girlfriend ‘ after all.


Yerim then looked at her thoughtfully, then looked at her foot and back at her. “ Jen, your foot is twisted too. “ 


“ Could you be that? “ Yerim whispered to her making Jennie cough terribly again. The younger pats her back softly chuckling a bit at her friend. “ Come on, Jen. Look at you, you twisted your foot, and so did the girl. It’s not groundless to think about it this way. Why are you so worked up? “ 


Yerim chuckled nervously walking away when Jennie recovered and glared at her.


If I continue chatting with this girl, I’ll choke to death.





Jennie was working with her pending designs when she thought about the leaked photos again. She bit her bottom lip, thinking what was on Jisoo’s mind.


She saw the kiss. That I am certain. Then at the hospital she reminded me to avoid the reporters.

But in the end, it’s clear that she purposely let that photos be leaked.


Jennie massaged her forehead, she can’t determine what Jisoo was trying to do. Sigh! Forget it. I’m not in the position to argue.


“ Jen ~ “ Joy called her, she is Director Park’s secretary. Jennie looked up at her as she walked closer to the designer. “ Mr. Kim Taehyung just replied to us. He said, our design is very novel. “


“ Okay, thanks. “ Jennie beamed, taking the folder Joy handed her. She smiled at her thankfully.


“ The Director asked whether you have got in touch with Mr. Kim Jongin? “ Joy said making Jennie’s mood depleted almost right away. Joy maybe sensed it, since she cleared her throat and continued, “ He also said, if the concert hall is a good lead. The law firm will be assigned to Karina. “


Lowering her head in relief, the designer blew a breathe. “ Must as well, thank you. “


“ Fighting, Jen! You’ll make it! “ Joy cheered, before turning in her post.


Now the project were given to us. I hope Kai won’t make things difficult . Sigh!







“ Uhm ~ “ Karina mumbled, clutching the folder in her hand as she stand in front of Kai, who was busying himself in his seat, not even paying her any attention. 


Sensing his bestfriend won’t make any move to acknowledge the designer, Bogum walk near her and smiled apologetically, “ Sorry, today is not a good day to- “


“ Mr. Kim may I ask? “ Determined for the purpose of her visit, Karina pushed herself still, despite of being disrespected as a person. “ We need to know your opinions. Then our designer can make it better for you. “


Receiving nothing, even a glance, Karina felt crying. Feeling bad, Bogum shake his head and face the designer again. “ He just thinks it’d be better to discuss with the leader designer. But you were not, “


Feeling he said the wrong word as the young designer looked dejected, he looked at Karina turning to leave, he called softly, “ It’s not aimed at you, I’m sorry. “


Sighing, he looked at Kai disappointingly. “ Kai, what’s this? “


“ Forcing her to come. “ Kai looked up, taking the cup of coffee in Bogum’s hand. He sit in his desk and took a sip.


“ What If she doesn’t? She doesn’t have to take our project. “ Bogum asked looking at Kai as he looked at him knowingly.


Kai hand him back the cup and smile contently, “ Don’t worry, we have the contract. They wouldn’t dare to breech it, unless they naively think they can defeat us in court. “
