Fated To Love You

27th string - Thinking about Her

RIN’s POV

Today, I’m meeting my sunbae in my High School from New York. He called me last night and told me he wanted to see me and so here I am walking my way to my favorite café just a walk away from home.

“Annyeonghaseyo.” The server greeted me and I bowed to her.

I sat at the spot next to the window again. I’ve been accustomed into sitting here since looking at the scene outside has always been my way to kill time while waiting.

The door chime sounded again, and I tried to see who is coming it. And at the sight of the familiar person, I grinned.

“Jake sunbae!” I greeted while waving my hand at him.

He walked towards me while raising a brow.

“Hey, what’s up with the short sleeveless dress?” He asked me.

“What? But I wear things like this for work?” I told him.

“And are we even here to work?” He said and then he removed his coat and let me wear it instead.

“Thanks.” I said and then he sat across me.

“So, how are you? I haven’t seen you for about a month and I feel like something’s already different about you.” He said while putting his chin on his hand with his elbow on the table.

“Jinjja?? But it’s just a month… what do you think? I’m still adjusting to the weather here but I think nothing changed much for me though…” I told him and then pouted.

“Awww… well it’s just that you seem prettier to me.” He said and then poked my cheek.

“Oppa!” I said quite embarrassed about his remarks.

“Oh well, getting to the main point, I’m actually here for some work for you.” He told me.

“Eh? Here?” I asked quite confused.

“Nope… but in New York.” He replied.

“Oh… so tell me about it.”

He placed a folder on the table containing all the information about the project he wants to be working on with me.

“Oh!!!! Isn’t this the most awaited SPRING COMEBACK for Vogue Magazine every year?!” I said so excitedly. Since I’ve been always dreaming of working for Vogue when I was still in New York.

“Yes! I fortunately got the job as photographer for the magazine for this section… so do you wanna be my model?” He asked and then smirked teasingly.

“Hmmm… I just hope the photoshoot won’t collide with my invitation for this years SPRING COLLECTION 2014 in New York too…” I said while being skeptical about whether I’m going to accept the offer or not.

“Eh? So you already agreed for a modeling job in New York before me?” He asked quite surprised.

I nodded.

“My manager is always keeping in touch with me and she told me that I have been invited to 3 shows including that one I told you about for this week. She even told me a lot will be expecting me to be there so I can’t totally refuse. She even arranged with my school for me to tell that I’ve filed for sick leave and paid them triple to keep quiet about the real reason.” I explained to him.

“Wow! You sure are big time… anyway who doesn’t know Rin Lee in New York?” And so I slapped his arm all because of the sudden compliment.

“Oppa… I’m not as popular as you think. I’m just a model who works hard for a living you know…” I said and then bowed.
