Grown With Love

Going or Not ?

They had a quick meeting in the room about her latest scoop on the Sherri Hill's fashion show the other day and she was glad when her boss gave the approval on releasing the scoop for the incoming month issue. " Thanks Joy for filling up for me. It was a last minute plan, and I can't push it further since you know, he will be mad at me. "

" Don't worry, I totally understand your situation. I mean, it's good to spend some time with him. You've been busy for this past six months, no wonder he felt neglected. Besides, I do enjoyed the show and the fact that I got the super cute dress from Sherri Hill just makes me happier. " She lift her eyebrows playfully that only makes the older one to chuckles at her cuteness.

Nat had been her superior for quite sometime now. She met her for the first time at one of the photoshoot for the magazine that she's been modelling on and it just happened that she blurted out her thoughts of being an editor which caught Nat's attention. Nat saw her potential and with the background of her studies she know that Joy can develop into one. So she decides to help Joy into it by giving her some simple task for practice and call her up for an interview when she knew Joy is ready. And that's how they become a team now.

As for Joy, she took Nat as more than just a superior. She is also one of her good friend in London besides Hyunsik. She knew almost everything about Nat, including the fact that she is a single mother at young age and that's why she doesn't mind about filled in her last minute job that was supposed to be Nat's. She knew how hard for Nat to raising her child alone, from nothing to now and she felt really proud of her.

" So, I heard that you'll be going back to Korea. " " Where did you ... urgghh ! Ella. " " Don't blame her. She just spilled off something that you find really hard to say. " " It's not that I'm not going to tell you. I just .. well still thinking about it. "

" It's your best friends wedding. What's need to be think off ? And why is is so hard for you to go back there ? And I know it's not about your dad Joy since last I checked you did have a good conversation with him nowadays. "

Joy knew that she can't escape her questions with that knowing look that she gave right now, she knew she just have to spill her thoughts. " It's him. "

" I knew it. " " You know what ? Sometimes I felt irritated since you've always knew what's on my mind. " She showed her pouty face which only makes Nat to laughed at her. " Go on, tell me. "

" I mean, it's been awhile since we actually meet and even talk to each other and it only irks me knowing thay it's going to be really awkward later on. " " Said the girl who starts it all. " " Hey, I thought it's a good idea. That's why I did that. " " He-he. I know. But you, yourself who didn't allowed your heart to do that. Do you think by avoiding him will makes things turn out better ? "

" Well, he's happy with his girl now and at first I don't find myself to be able to accept that. And that's why I choose to avoid him but I didn't realised I've been dragging it till now. And now I'm in trouble. How am I going to start again with him ? "

" After all Joy, he is your best friend. I'm sure he will understand. And besides, there's no other reason for you to be awkward with him since told me that he's happy with his girl and you, yourself has move on right ? "

That somehow made Joy to glued on her place, causing Nat to worriedly looking at her. " Am I right Joy ? I mean it's been 6 years now and ... " She noticed how Joy fidgeting on her place, making her heaved a sigh.

" God. Please tell me that it's not true. Do you still love him ? " " Well ... I'm not sure ? " " That's why you've been contemplating. It's because you still have your heart for him. " " I didn't say that. " " Owh dear, but your face showing it all. " " Stupid face. " She cursed under her breath that cause Nat to chuckle at her silliness.
