Re-Boot

Ch. 5; Change

Given on the summit was a business event and Yeri's company was one of the biggest amongst all the participants, it was predictable that Jungkook would receive a front row seater. As Yeri had been his side-kick for this seminar, of course it was also natural for the official to tag her along and placed her seat right next to him.

It would be no problem at all, really. But her early clash with Jungkook back in the penthouse was making it a tad bit uncomfortable. The only thing that makes her stay was her guilty feeling. Because as shameless as Yeri could be, she admitted to herself that she was the one that'd been impossible to him this morning. Since then, Jungkook hadn't say a single word toward her. Though she indeed felt bad, a half part of her was kinda relieved. Because she wasn't really sure whether she could carry a normal conversation with him or not thus had Yeri guessed that this is a win-win solution for both of them.

The summit was about The Influences of Technologies on Industrial Development. There was a full house for today's seminar, as expected from Tesla, whom also housing this year's summit. Yeri had observed Jungkook secretly, noticing how serious he paid his attention to the speaker. He had notebook and pen out, ready to write anything inspiring or important matter. Sometimes he would knock his pen repeatedly against the surface of the table. Sometimes he would laugh at the jokes that the speaker had threw. Sometimes his eyes would turn bigger after he got the solving for some problems the speakers had asked.

She admitted, in the state Jungkook was currently in, he looked a bit – Okay, maybe a lot –charming. But after he entirely ignoring her until the seminar was over, which is 4 p.m. to be specific; his status in Yeri's eyes that had previously elevated, now quickly coming back down to the lowest level.

During the first coffee break, he was immediately flew to God-know-where, only to be back around five minutes before the seminar start. When the lunch time came, Yeri had waited for him at the buffet area for almost thirty minutes before she saw him lounging with two female participants from Indonesia and Japan. She decided then, she had had enough of this bullshit. So when the lunch break was over, instead of coming back to the hall, she chose to take a walk around the venue. There was a Tech exhibition that being a part of the Summit. Yeri was watching a cute puppy robot doing its attraction when she heard a guy – a cute one – cleared his throat right beside her.

"I believe the lunch break is over? What are you doing here, miss?" This cute guy was, well... manly-cute – if that phrase even existed. Tall and Buff bod, with sharp jaw, sharp pointed nose, sharp eyes, everything about this man perfectly captured an image of a real man, heavily contradicted with the cute smile that currently decorating his lips. He was one of the participant as Yeri had saw him sitting in a row behind her and Jungkook's seat.

"Could I say the same thing for you too?" She smiled back.

"Well," he shrugged his broad shoulder nonchalantly, "I'm just a side-kick. The main participant from my company is literally glued on his chair." He then chuckled, eyes crinkling so cutely.

Yeri laughed politely at his playfulness, "Could say the same thing too."

"What a coincidence." His smile turned wider, "Well, my name is Chittapon Leechaiyapornkul," The man had almost laugh at Yeri expression after she heard his name. "And I got that expression pretty often."

"I'm so sorry," Yeri was aware that her facial expression could be interpreted as rude, but she couldn't help it, really.

What was his name again?

"You can call me Ten. It's so much easier, don't you think so?"

"Exactly." Yeri was still feeling awkward, "So, Ten? Where are you from?"
