Fate ~Joshua FF~

7

The next few days day were busy for both Joshua and Naryeon. Joshua had the meetings all day, ending at 9. Nari worked hard to get everything recorded for the exhibit that was going to be open to the public on Monday. She would be working that day, acting as a tour guide for the day. She was very excited about that. She loved giving tours and interacting with people. Choi Jin-Woo had signed her up for three tours. Two of the tours were middle school students and the third was for anyone that wanted to join.

It was Thursday night. Naryeon was making a late dinner for herself. She had a long work day prepping the last boxes of artifacts. She had to have them all recorded in their system since she wasn't working until Monday. There is a reason why they have to record all artifacts delivered to their museum. Before the delivery is made, a copy is sent to them detailing all the artifacts that will be sent to them and a description of each one. Naryeon is usually the one that receives the copy and then she tells Do-Won and Eunji. When the delivery arrives, they count and make sure every artifact is present. If not, they get a hold of whoever had it before them to discuss the situation. So far, she has never ran into any problems with deliveries.

Naryeon sat down in the recliner next to window and ate her dinner. Being on level 25, all she could see were other tall buildings. Some with lights on. It was close to 10pm now. She was looking forward to sleeping in. Joshua had messaged her earlier saying that he should be back in Seoul by 8pm tomorrow. He asked if she would be able to pick him up at the airport and she agreed. Naryeon finished her dinner and set her plate down on the table next to her. She though about her week. Working helped keep her mind off of Yunsu and Yuri. Thankfully she didn't have any run ins with them.

She started to think about Saturday. Jeonghan's birthday. Yuri would be. Would she try and start something? Maybe it would best if she didn't go. She didn't know what to do. It sounded like Hannie wanted her to come. What about Joshua though? Did he want her to come too? I guess she'll find out later. Her phone dinged. She reached for it. It was from Joshua.

Shua: Not sure if you are wake or not, but wanted to say goodnight. I just got back to the hotel and I am exhausted! I'd love to talk with you on the phone but I'm afraid I wouldn't last long. I'll let you know when I board the plane. See you soon

Naryeon smiled. She turned her phone off, grabbed her plate and went to the kitchen where she placed her plate in the sink. She turned off the lights and headed down to her room. She put her phone on the charger and went to take a quick shower. That night, she slept like a baby. She pushed all thoughts about the upcoming birthday aside,which helped her fall asleep easy and fast.

Friday afternoon. He had messaged her around 10 that morning letting her know that he was about to board the plane. Estimated time of arrival was around 6 that evening. Naryeon looked at her phone. It was 5pm. She had just parked her car in the airport parking lot. She got out her car, locked it and headed toward the entrance. She walked in. It was packed it people coming and going. She looked for the baggage claim sign. That was where they would be meeting up. She found the sign, an arrow pointing down. She went over to the elevator and got in with a few other people. She twisted her ring on her finger, kind of nervous. Why she was feeling this way was a question. The elevator dinged and the doors opened up. She got off and went over to stand by the wall where she had a full view of the area. She looked at her phone. 5:30. He should be here soon. A few minutes passed and no sign of him. She went over to a row of chairs and sat down. She sat and people watched. Families with kids, couples, business men and women, security officers and staff.

Joshua walked into the baggage claim area and looked around. Was she here? He continued walking until he spotted her sitting in a row of chairs. She wasn't looked in his direction yet. He took a moment and stared at her. Naryeon was the most beautiful woman. Her brown, piercing eyes were the first thing he noticed about her and then her smile just lit up the room. It had to be Fate that brought them together that night they met. They both knew Junseo really well, so it was weird that they did not run into one another before then.
