“What’s taking her too long?” TOP irritably asked to himself and checked his watch.

It’s already a quarter past 6pm. TOP expects that Chin would come this day after she finished her research. He can’t text or call her in her phone because, he forgot to ask for her number yesterday but he remembered that he has a copy of Mi Rae’s resume in his phone. Maybe, he could ask Mi Rae to send Chin’s number.

He was about to call Mi Rae until...

“Anneonghaseyo, Sir.” A familiar voice registered.

Since, Mr. Choi asked me yesterday to do the groceries today; I hurriedly went to his condominium to of course, get the list of the things to buy and most importantly, some cash. Actually, I almost forgot to drop by to his condominium because, I was really busy researching for some topics that I would tackle in my dissertation.

“Why you’re late?” he asked as he is sitting on the sofa in the living room.

“I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t notice the time since, I was busy researching for my dissertation.” I explained.

“Alright, the damage has been done... just stay right there and wait for me.” He told me as he stands and goes inside his room.

Minutes passed and still I’m here sitting on the spot where he was sitting earlier but it’s fine. Although, I’ve been here many times still the perfect view of Seoul in TOP’s condominium didn’t fail to entertain me. Did I just say TOP? Well, I think I broke what I just said last time to call him not by his ‘name’. Forgive me, because, it’s much easier to call him this way.

While I was enjoying the wonderful night view of Seoul, I heard a door squeak. I guess that it’s already him. I turned my head and got surprised with what I saw.

“What the---“ I whispered to myself.

Gosh, is this the man whom they called the best well-dressed celebrity? From his outfit, you really can’t tell that he’s TOP. For description sake, he’s wearing a black suit with a green cheap looking chequered scarf, orange velvet pants and military boots.

“Don’t be shocked because I always do this when I go out for unofficial business.” He told me and wore the fedora hat that he was holding.

“D—Disguise? Go out?” I curiously asked.

“Yes, I’ll come with you in the market. I know that you’re still new here. Plus, we’ll be buying lots of stuffs. You can’t carry them all by yourself.” He explained, grabbed the over-sized shades on the glass table in front of me and wears them.

I just gave him a puzzled smile because; I don’t know what to reply.

I stood up and followed him as he walked towards the doorway while pulling out a black face mask to complete his disguise look.

I decided to pause for awhile and wait for a few seconds until we got this few meters distance between the two of us because, I got this feeling that he would still be identified these ‘not so ordinary fans’ waiting outside. I don’t want to be hated by people because, I’m with him. Although, I’m just his housekeeper, still, you can’t tell what others would think.  

We’re now here in the lobby and it seems that his disguise works. No group of girls appeared from nowhere like the last time...

“We’ll be taking a cab on the way to the market.” He turned back and told me.

I nod in reply.

I understand why we would take a cab on the way to the market. It’s again part of his disguise.

In no time a cab parked in front of the building. He opened the door and let me to come in first and then he followed.

“To Seoul open market, please.” He told the driver as he shuts the door.

I don’t know where we’re going. The only word that I understood was ‘Seoul’ and nothing else.
