IMMORTAL CYBORG || LEE HONGBIN

CHAPTER 8

They were working as usual and Hongbin, was there,at the cafe at his usual place. Taking and editing the pictures. Eunwoo brought his order to Hongbin before he took a peek at the pictures.

"Hyung, you took the same thing at the same place, is it the only thing you find pretty?" Eunwoo asked after he served Hongbin's usual order. Hongbin chuckled and stared at the outside of the cafe, where there's a beautiful tree, with bright colours of flowers that he always took picture of.

"Because I only want the good memories in it. This is the only thing that I know." Hongbin mumbled.

"Good memories?" Eunwoo squinted his eyes and thought that the cafe where Hongbin and Heeyoung met might be the only happiness in Hongbin's life. "So cliche hyung, just because you like her and this is the place you guys always meet doesn't mean its the only place with good memories."

Hongbin laughed softly and Eunwoo left him alone. He didn't want to explain why because its all about inserting the memories into the cyborgs so he let Eunwoo judging and speculating him. He stared at Heeyoung who was working diligently and smiled.

"If only I can make her happy like Eunwoo did.."

"Heeyoung-ah~" Someone called Heeyoung and Hongbin looked at the direction. It was her parents who came to visit her daughter since they were nearby  the cafe.

"Eo? Eomma? Appa?" She put the dirty dishes aside and went towards them. Eunwoo also did the same before he called Hongbin to greet as well. Hongbin widened his eyes and hesitantly walked towards them. Heeyoung pinched Eunwoo's arm and mouthed to him.

"Why do you call sunbae?? I didn't tell them yet"

"Didnt tell what? He's not your boyfrienddd, I want him to know that they are your parents thats all."

"Ah since today is the pay day, I will treat you to our new menu! Eunwoo-yah go make it" Heeyoung pushed him to the back and told her parents to take a sit before Hongbin came and bowed to them.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Lee Hongbin-ibnida" Both of them looked at each other and nodded before they looked at Heeyoung suspiciously. Heeyoung widened her eyes and tried to explain in case they misunderstood.

"He's my high school senior, the one who represented Korea for robot competition 2015?" She smiled and both of them nodded and asked him to join them. While waiting for meal, Hyunwook kept looking at Hongbin as if he had meet him before.

"Appa..you look like you want to eat him" Heeyoung whispered to her father before he laughed.

"No, it just..jeogi..(well..) HB-nim?" Hongbin immediately looked up when he heard the name. It was his name for purchasing machines from a company. No way..

"Ah..Mr..Jang? J Tech company?" Hongbin remembered the face when he walked past him in the office and the secretary told him that he's the boss. How small this world that he actually purchased all the machines from Heeyoung's father. He was hoping that Eunwoo would not know and heard it since he's lying about stopping what he had been doing last few years.

"I didn't know that you're such a young man. To purchase all the mac-"

"It just my passion and I was happy that your company have a really good products for me to purchase." Hongbin tried his best not to look obvious about what he has been doing since Eunwoo was there and still unaware about it.

After having some meal and both Eunwoo and Heeyoung went to clean the cafe, Hyunwook started a conversation back to Hongbin.

"Actually I was thinking to give someone to handle the company. I will open a branch at Sweden and I need someone to handle it there. I thought of Eunwoo as he's like my son and he's good in everything but he's too young and still studying plus that he's in art field like Heeyoung so I didn't think he can do well. He's also a son of a rich person so I think he's going to replace his father one day hahah"

Hongbin smiled and listened to it silently.

"I know it sounds sudden, but I've already thought of you since you have purchased a lot from my company. I think you are really good in this field. I was planning to discuss with you when you come to purchase another machine, but now it's easier since you are actually a friend to my daughter and Eunwoo. I trusted you even more now."

"You..want me to work under you?" Hongbin was really confused and hesitated. He's not sure if its good or not for him.

"Yes, but only if you agreed to, I don't find anyone that I can trust to continue this. I feel like I really need to handle a lot of things, we are aging now so.." Hongbin nodded as he understood well. "You can take your time to think I am completely understand."

"Thank you so much for the offer and trust.." He smiled. "I'll think about this thoroughly and give you my final decision as soon as possible."

"You're going out with that?" Eunwoo pointed at her sweet denim tight skirt that she was wearing. He landed at her bed after she called him to come over. She looked at the mirror and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Whats wrong with this?" She turned around and faced him. He shook his head before standing up and walked towards her closet, trying to find something else.

"You really didn't know how man's eyes worked don't you?" He put a jacket around her waist and nodded. "Better." He smiled in satisfaction.

"What do you mean by MAN's EYES Cha Eunwoo" She pretended to ask and rolled her eyes. She fixed the jacket that Eunwoo tied earlier and put on a glittery color lipstick.

"Its cold why girls need to sacrifice being cold just to look pretty in short skirt" He lied down at her bed and turned to look at the frame beside her bed. A picture of both of them when they were kids was there as well as when they were graduated from high school. He smiled because he did the same in his room.

"Because that's what girls do. Being pretty because that's what BOYS like, don't they? Looking at girl with short dress or skirt and sexy." She sat beside him and he changed his position.

"I think you look just fine with pajamas. You don't have to wear short dress to look pretty or to be sexy, not every guy loves that. I don't like that. You are cute in long dress or casual shirt."

Heeyoung looked at him in impress. "Wow Cha Eunwoo, since when did you said I look cute in pajamas or shirt huh. Then do I have to change because you don't like this?"

"I think Hongbin hyung doesn't care about your appearance. Just be yourself. I told you this as a view of a man okay?" He rolled his eyes and fixed her hair "You still fine with this, BUT don't do something inappropriate got that? I'm giving you guys space because I don't want to be like your bodyguard or something even though I feel like spying you."

She laughed and saluted him "Aye aye Boss! We're just going for a walk since he said it has been a while he did that." She was wondering why because she never knew about his life.

Eunwoo nodded since he knew about Hongbin's situation and believed that at least Hongbin is a good person and can take care of her very well. He shouldn't controlled her too much even though they didn't care doing that to each other.

"Find me someone too. Do I have to watch you guys and I don't have anyone to be my partner?" They walked downstairs and waited for Hongbin at the gate.

"Hahahah jinjja? (really?) You really want me to find you one? Okay then don't complain too much if she's not as good as me in taking care of you hehe" They laughed.

"No one can be better than you." Eunwoo mumbled while watching her walked quickly towards Hongbin's car and waved at him.
