At 34, Soo Yun Hae has never known love but she was about to find out. Worlds apart, will she open her heart and let love in? An accidental encounter with Park Jimin left Soo Yun Hae reeling. Not one to fangirl over Kpop idols at her age, despite BT...
"What are you doing here?" Yun Hae asked again, blowing softly on the surface of her steaming mandu.
They were seated at her office, with Jimin slumped at her couch, enjoying the food he'd brought. Laid out in front of them were bowls of jajjangmyeon, crispy fried chicken, kimchi rice, mandu, strawberries and a venti caramel latte.
Her staff had all but left except for her secretary who lingered to catch another glimpse of BTS' Jimin.
"Two weeks is a long time," he said, taking a huge bite of his chicken. He pushed the bowl of jajjangmyeon closer to her, encouraging her to eat some more.
"Here. You should really watch over your health," he ordered. Yun Hae arched her eyebrow at him playfully, "You could've texted me."
Jimin coughed, took another bite of his chicken and continued with his mouth full, "Yeah... about that — I didn't know how start. I mean, what do I say? I'm the worst texter."
Am I making him nervous?
"So anyway, the boys and I are going to Naksan for a short break. Would you like to come?" He asked.
"The beach?" Yun Hae asked breathlessly. "Sounds fun!" She exclaimed. "But I don't want to impose. It's your time-off and I don't want to get in the way of your free time. I know your schedule must be packed."
"Yun Hae, I'd love it if you came. The boys, too." Jimin reassured her. "Jin and Suga are looking forward to a cook-off and RapMon wants another one of your lattes. He wants to know if you take requests for latte art."
"It sounds amazing but work..." Yun Hae's voice trailed off.
"Your secretary said your boss gave you the rest of the week off," Jimin argued. "We'll be back here by Saturday night, tops. Please, Yun Hae?"
She could sense Jimin's eagerness yet something about this trip made her nervous. She pondered at the deeper implications it posed. He made it seem like nothing, just a group of people going on a beach trip, but Yun Hae couldn't help but feel that maybe there was something else there than he let on.
Yun Hae took a sip of her coffee. At 34, she has long since stopped believing in love that was subject of fairy tales. But the long dormant romantic in her was awakening and she knew there was only one answer to give.
"Yes! Let's do it." She declared.
"Great! We're leaving tomorrow." Jimin said. Much to Yun Hae's surprise, he leaned across the table and kissed her jubilantly.
"You can't keep stealing kisses from me, noona." He teased.
