Stay With Me [an EXO's ChanYeol Fanfic]

Chapter 8 - Meeting the Farmer

"We need to pick one of our model's pictures as our leading display posters for all the stores." The marketing team said during the meeting.

ChanYeol already had an answer in his head, but he was always serious in work and did not want to be bias. He needed confirmation from his staff, "Any choices yet?"

"MiYoung or JiEun." Another staff handed him some sample photos.

ChanYeol got what he was looking for, "Pick JiEun then." The meeting ended.

A few days later, ChanYeol called JiEun and told her he had a gift for her. JiEun visited a store of SPAO as instructed and saw herself in the huge catchy poster at the display window. She did not believe it and went to a few more stores, in which all the display windows were all showing her glamorous face. She went hyper and jumped up and down. Some people passed by and peeked at the poster, and seemed to recognize her. JiEun instantly calmed down and took off her sunglasses, and stood in a pose. She sneaked a smile and enjoyed being watched.

*********************************
This Saturday, GaHye went to the family farm once again. Her little student had invited her to see the potatoes buds that just came out from the ground. ChanYeol had to attend some socializing events with his father, so GaHye decided to come out to the countryside to breathe some fresh air.

"Alright, Phoebe. I'm going to buy a drink. What do you want?" GaHye stood up and asked her student.

The little girl chuckled sweetly, "Can I get an ice-cream cone?" She peeped at her mother for approval.

Her mother smiled and nodded. Phoebe cheered.

"I'll be back soon. Mrs. Smith, do you want something to drink also?" GaHye wiped her hands.

"Oh, could you get me a bottle of water please? Thank you very much, Mrs. Park." The parent thanked politely.

While GaHye was buying the things at the little café, she spotted the young man that she met last time. As usual, he was working carefully at his lot nearby.

He raised his head and saw GaHye. His heart pounded wildly.

GaHye gave him a courtesy smile. He hesitated, but finally walked over to greet, "Hi, teacher."

"You sound like you're my student." GaHye chuckled, "It's kind of scary. You're too big to be my primary school kids."

The young man was a bit embarrassed, "Sorry, your name is..."

"Park GaHye." She introduced herself, "And you?"

"Oh SeHun." He responded, "You seem to be the only Korean among the other teachers of the school."

"It's a British primary school. Our teachers have different ethnic backgrounds. There are a few Koreans, just that they didn't come to the field trip last time." GaHye explained.

"I see...Miss..." SeHun thought, "Hm, may I call you GaHye?"

"Of course." GaHye agreed, "Do you come here every weekend?"

"Yes. I need to work for half the day on Saturday, and I usually come here for a fruits-and-vegetables lunch, and stay for the afternoon." SeHun said. No wonder GaHye bumped into him both times.

"SeHun, what are you growing in your lot?" GaHye asked with a friendly tone.

"Hm, carrots, some mint leaves, and...some other stuffs." SeHun faltered.

Then there was a ten seconds silence.

GaHye was expecting SeHun to finish off his sentence by inviting her to his lot, but he never offered it. Actually, she did not mind. She just felt this guy was a little strange. "This ice-cream cone is melting. I need to bring it back to my student now. Nice to talk to you." GaHye broke the dead air and found an excuse to leave.
