Myungjin - I Fell For You~

[Chapter 3 - Kind Strangers]

Jinwoo pressed the button '10' on the elevator to take him to his office floor. As the doors opened, he exited to be greeted by his secretary, Mr. Lee who wished him a good morning.

What was so good about mornings anyway he thought. Having to wake up so early is definitely in the top three things that Jinwoo hates.

He walked to his large luxurious office as his secretary opened the blinds to let in the warm sunlight through the large tinted glass windows.

Jinwoo made his way to back of his desk where he sat down in his expensive leather chair. Mr. Lee brought his digital tablet forward and began to list the agenda for the day.

"Sir, we have a busy schedule today so it would be best if we started off a bit early. You have a meeting at 9:10am regarding the Advertising Department wanting to put out a new advertisement for the Fundraiser that will assist multiple Veterinaries throughout the state. After that you are required to attend a business lunch regarding the agenda of hiring a skilled Graphic Designer to contribute towards the Fundraiser publicity tasks."

As Jinwoo looked out the window, he sighed and stood up.

"Let's be on time then."

"Yes Sir."

The meeting finished successfully so CEO Jinwoo and his secretary made their way to the business lunch. The restaurant wasn't much far from the office building so Jinwoo insisted that they walk there, a chance to take in some fresh air from their air conditioned offices.

They made their way to the designated restaurant. It was a very posh and an expensive one. A regular for Jinwoo.

The business meeting eventually started on time and the other attendees discussed about hiring a new graphic designer and some other similar staff to assist their new project. Jinwoo sat next to a window seat in the restaurant and found himself drifting away from the conversation.

As he ate his medium rare steak, Jinwoo looked out the window to see an elderly women struggling to cross the road with her multiple groceries. No one was helping her. The elder looked like she was in her late 70's as she tiredly placed her bags with groceries on the floor.

So many people were walking by, wearing their office suits with expensive watches and bags. It didn't cost money to help an elderly cross the road but no one batted an eyelid.

Jinwoo was thinking of excusing himself from the meeting to help the elder but before he could move, he saw a young man running to the elderly and willingly picking up most of her groceries to help her cross the road. As they reached the other side, the elder had a smile on her face thanks to the young man and forced an amount of money to the man to keep.

"Sir? Excuse me sir?"

Secretary Lee's voice brought Jinwoo back to the business lunch.

"Yes?"

"Sir, we were wondering if you would wish to attend the hiring of the new Graphics Designer? You would be able to see their skills and project history along with deciding if you preferred their style of design. If you are available, if that is. I could check for you."

Jinwoo basically spent his work hours either at the office, on a business trip or at a meeting. He asked Assistant Lee if there was anything scheduled for that time. Luckily he was available so he agreed to attend the selection of the new designer. Something a little bit different to witness.

Once he had attended the other agendas for the day, it was already 7:15pm. Jinwoo made his way to his car and drove to his way back home.

While driving past the park near his house, he saw what seemed like the same young man who had helped the elderly sitting on the park bench with his backpack on the floor. The man's expression was dark and his eyes looked swollen, probably from crying.
