Hmmm. So the doctor came back. Eun Hye thought as she heard the car parked in front. She automatically prepared coffee, for his boss likes to drink coffee after lunch. Hee Jin, the secretary could have prepared it, but the doctor preferred her coffee. So she was surprised when she came back from the pantry, a huge guy blocked her way and almost spilled the hot, brewed coffee.
“Omo!”
The guy quickly turned around and retrieved the spilled coffee and plate from her hands and placed it in the table.
“Are you hurt, miss?”
Eun Hye looked up at the handsome guy stooping to look at her slightly burned hand. He looked really concerned on her hand that is starting to get red. He pulled her back to the pantry and held her hand under the running cold water.
“No, I’m quite alright. I’m sorry. I didn’t expect someone to be there…”
“I’m the one who should be sorry. To be standing in the way. I was waiting for Dr. Ji Hoon.”
Recognition dawn her face. So, this is the man everybody is talking about.
“Oh. Ji Hyun Woo-ssi.”
Hyun Woo looked surprise. “You knew me?”
“Everybody in this town knows you. I mean expecting you..”
“Ah. So much for being incognito. I’ve been in this town for many years but it seems like this is the first time I’ve seen you Miss…”
She blushed and held out her hand for him to shake. “Yoon Eun Hye. I came to this town when the clinic opened. You must be in the army already by that time.”
Ji Hoon opened the pantry door and looked at both of them with surprise. “Oh. I’ve been looking for you. I thought you went out.”
Eun Hye bowed. “I’m sorry doctor, I spilled your coffee when I bumped to your friend. I’m sorry. I’ll make you another one.”
“No need Eun HYe-ssi. We are just about to get out. Will be going to the Ranch House.” Ji Hoon started to go out the door when Hyun Woo turned to look at her.
“Would you be there at the party later?”
Eun Hye was speechless. This guy is inviting her to his party? But she shrugged. “No, I don’t think anybody invited me.”
To her surprised, he winked. “Well, I am the one will personally invite you. I’ll be expecting you later, okay?
~*****~
It’s already 4 o’clock and In Na has been tired overseeing the preparation for the party. Early in the morning, she helped Hyun Woo in cleaning his house, and after that she went to the Ranch House and prepared the food, the tables, and sound system. At the thought of Hyun Woo, she felt a delicious shiver on her spine. She suddenly misses him, and can’t wait to see him later. She looked around her. They put fresh table clothes on the tables, flowers were taken out from the herbarium and placed on tables. They put up a string of lights on the trees so that when it’s already dark, they could turn it on and create a festive atmosphere. Yunho said that they are expecting to arrive at 5pm and In Na really want to take a shower first. Checking her list, everything is in order.
“Hey. Go home and change. I’ll take care of this.” It was Jiyeon, who looked classy on white blouse tucked in her black designer jeans. She shook her head. “I’ll just shower upstairs. Anyway, I’ve brought extra clothes. Have you seen my daughter?”
Jiyeon pointed her on the house. I think Jieun and Seung Ho were playing with her at the living room.” In Na murmured her thanks and when to the Ranch House. And truth to what Jiyeon said, the two were playing with Jin Ae. When the child saw her, she took her doll and showed it to her. “Oma!” “Yes, Jin Ae, pretty right?” She kissed her daughter and looked grateful to the two. “Could I still leave Jin Ae to you? I’ll just take a quick shower.” The two nodded. “Of course-unni. This is the least we could do, after you do all those hard work.”
