KIM BAE EUN

Apparently the company is starting a big project.

I kind of feel stressed, but now that we have Jisung to help even out the work, I think the amount of work this time would be lesser.

The lift door opened and I stepped out bringing the files with me.

"Hey Jisung!" I waved my hand as I saw Jisung leaving the restroom from far away, "Can you help me with this?" I gestured at some files I placed on the floor just now. There's too many, and I needed a rest for my hands. Too heavy.

After wiggling off some water, he fastened his pace and came to me, crouching down and picking up the remaining files I left on the floor.

"What are these?" He asked me.

"Files needed for the meeting later."

"Oh." He hummed and nodded.

Since it's a big project, we have more frequent meetings. After this meeting Laura will have to give in the outline of the project during her meeting with the executives and chairman, so we have to get a lot of things done in this meeting.

I placed down the files on the meeting table and patted the space next to it, gesturing Jisung to place the files there.

Jisung glanced at the hanging wall clock, "There's still some time left, wanna grab some Starbucks?" He offered.

I actually wanted to refuse his offer since I was lazy and just wanted to spend the time sitting on my chair, but after seeing his smile I changed my mind.

Such a beautiful smile that I would want to look at, every single moment.

YOON JISUNG

We took the lift downstairs and entered the Starbucks located just a few shops next to our company.

I loved the way the Starbucks outlets are decorated, it just has a classy but cozy vibe to it, and sometimes designed based on the local's attraction.

"What drink do you want?" I asked as Bae Eun took a seat on the table next to the small garden, a glass in between to keep the cold air inside.

"Um..." She raised her head and looked at the menu at the counter.

I couldn't help but stare at her as she did so.

Her jaw, her slightly open lips, pointy small nose and her long eyelashes... oh my, how are there such a gorgeous human being.

I forced my gaze off her and looked at the menu, stealing some glances.

Phew, I think she didn't notice me staring at her just now. I gulped.

"I'll have a mocha frappuccino." Bae Eun's voice distracted me from my thoughts. I turned back and saw her smiling towards me.

Oh no, I think I just felt my heart lose a beat.

After doing the orders I went back to the table and took a seat opposite of Bae Eun.

She raised her head from her phone and greeted me, her lips curving up into a smiley angle, two little dots forming on her cheek.

I looked away for a second before turning back to her, trying to contain the sudden urge to pinch her cheeks, "I forgot to ask, do you want some dessert?" Girls usually loves dessert, my sister in example eats a lot of them. And then she complains about gaining weight.

Much to my surprise, Bae Eun shook her head, "I'm not much of a sweet tooth."

"Oh."

We got silent soon. I was thinking of a topic and then heard my name got called.

"That's fast." I mumbled as I stood up.

"Ah, Jisung, let me go get it." Bae Eun stood up too.

I looked at Bae Eun in confusion, but gave in anyways, "Okay...?"

I sat back down and watched as Bae Eun went to the counter for our drinks.

Now that I take a look. She's actually pretty tall. Not over 170 centimeters I guess, but still taller than most Koreans. And she's also... skinny.

I furrowed my brows, "She should eat more..."
