The World's Greatest First Love

Chapter 17

Quoth Taeyeon...

"Try taking another author" Taeyeon looked up at Tiffany from desk

"You mean a second along with Ranmi-ssi ?" Tiffany raised an eyebrow at Taeyeon who was a looking at the storyboard she just handed

"I will give you one of mine"

"Okay...who ?"

"Choi Jihye-nim. She writes really by-the-book manhwa, so I'm sure you can learn a lot from her"

"Right, I understand" Tiffany nodded, feeling kind of happy that Taeyeon is entrusting her with a second author

"Ah, she's a veteran writer, so you will met her in person for the hand over. We will take off next Wednesday and Thursday for the trip. The business affairs people will handle our hotel arrangements"

"What" Tiffany's eyes widened and her cheeks were painted a light shade of pink

"What do you mean hotel ?!"

"She lives in the Jeonnam region. That's a 5-hour trip one-way by bullet train from Seoul" Taeyeon said, handing back Tiffany the storyboard

"Th- Then why not take a plane ?!"

Taeyeon stood up and pointed at Tiffany

"Because their airport is in the middle nowhere. It would actually take even more time. If we get there in the afternoon and then have our meeting and dinner, there is no telling when we would finish. So we're spending the night there ! The end"

What

The hell ?!

A business trip with my boss...

oh crap.














And so...

Tiffany is staring at her little suitcase that has luggage enough for a couple of days

Taeyeon is right beside her staring at empty space as the two wait for the bullet train to arrive to the station

S- Sure it might be typical for the new editor to go meet the author directly for a hand over, but...

But why does it have to be an overnight business trip with Taeyeon of all people ?!

"You know, this is..." Taeyeon started

"Kind of like a honeymo- "

"It's a business trip !! business !"

And so...the bullet train arrived and the two settled down on their seats with Taeyeon occupying the seat by the window

"Sorry, I'm gonna take a nap. Wake me up when we're there" Taeyeon said as she covered herself with her oversized coat

"Ah, okay"

Tiffany sighed, trying to relax as the train departed

I'm kind of tired myself...

Taking a glance at Taeyeon sleeping beside her, Tiffany felt her heart pounding

What am I gonna to do ?

I feel so weirdly nervous...

That day...

Even though Taeyeon couldn't hear me...

I just opened my mouth and out came all that stuff about love and all...

Am I an idiot or something ?

Even if it's overnight, we're still just going to work.
