HANEUL

It's been weeks after that photoshoot and a lot of investors were coming to the company. Mr. Byun must be so stressed because every now and then, he was inside that corporate room.

After my check up last (last?) week, I found myself eating a lot. It must be because of the vitamins the doctor gave me. She said it's for my nutrition and preparation for something that would change in my body. It was confusing because...what would happen to my body right??

Chen went to my table and he looked very excited. He was hiding something behind him and I furrowed my eyebrows in question.

"What is it, Chen-ssi?"

He raised his eyebrow. He really has this habit when he has something up. Chen smiled at me as he gave me a magazine. I accepted it and scanned the pages. My eyes bulged out when I saw my photos inside.

"You really looked pretty there." He said as he pointed at my face on the page.

"Just here?" I teased him.

He laughed and shook his head. He whipped his head when Mr. Byun entered the building. I stood up and bowed in respect. He smiled at me and glared subtly at Chen.

"Are you giving her more paperworks, Chen?" Mr. Byun's tone was serious, like his eyes.

I panicked. I waved my hand for him to notice me. "With all respect, Mr. Byun... Mr. Kim wasn't giving additional work without my consent. I am the one who volunteered to do some of his paperworks."

Mr. Byun smiled. With that blinding smile, I could feel my heart beating so fast. I clutched my chest and the two of them looked at me in worry.

"Are you alright?"

I nodded and took a seat. I feel weird whenever I see Mr. Byun. It was like I'm craving for his presence but it was impossible for me to ask for his attention because... who am I to be like that?

Chen grabbed the magazine on my hands and showed it to him. "The photoshoot was a success. Good thing that model ditched Suho's project." He smiled widely. "Because Haneul here," he looked at me. "...saved this whole advertisement!"

I pinked on his comment. "I-it was for the company.. sir."

Mr. Byun smiled and bid his goodbyes. "I should go ahead. I still have lots of meetings and papers waiting for me."

After our boss left, Jeongmin approached my desk. "Hey! I've seen the photos! You really looked pretty there."

I nodded at her and faced my papers. Jeongmin asked for the magazine from Chen and she took a closer look.

"Hey.." She started. "Aren't you a little lean than your photo here?" She scanned my body and looked back to the magazine.

It caught my attention. Chen agreed with his cousin. "Yeah, Haneul. You seemed to have gained weight."

"It must be the vitamins the doctor gave me." I smiled at them. "I've been taking them for weeks now. It increased my appetite and I kinda ate a lot. Like I've been craving for food."

Jeongmin shrugged and gave the magazine back to Chen. "Well, it's good that you're becoming healthy."

Chen was still smiling slyly at me. I stared at him. "Why, Chen-ssi?"
