JUNHEE'S POV
"Did you call me?" I ask as I open the door to Sehyoon's office. He's still seating there with a thousand papers in his desk, I also see Chan seating on the sofa in the corner reading intensely some of the papers and has a pink highlighter on his left hand.
"Hi Junhee how are you?" Sehyoon asks in his always shy but friendly tone. He's a very introvert man but once he's in court he's so fearless, is so intimidating to watch
"Great...I just send you the first draft of the report you asked me", I say because I have no idea what he called me for
"Yes, thank you...but the real reason I called you is because we're having our dinner party this friday at the Le Rose on main avenue" he says and I look up to him a bit confuse.
"Dinner party?" I ask
"Yes Lee Firm's dinner party....and I was asked to give the invite personality to everyone." And he hands me a small white invitation.
"Oh but you see I have to take care of my daughter" I say and he looks a bit puzzle
"Well then, Can she stay with her mom?" And so I just stayed quiet. He keeps looking at me and just at that moment Chan speaks up
"Oh yeah, Jun will go and Junhee can you help me with something real quick" he says and pulls me out
"Hey Chan you still need to help me with this case" Sehyoon says and Chan looks behind at him
"Yes...I'll be right back" the rest of the people of the firm are still busy typing, calling or looking up something in their computer. Life at this firm was immerse in work until lunch time
"Why did you say that?" I ask Chan a bit confuse
"Well you didn't want to say the truth did you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. He got me there
"But the dinner starts at 7, and by that time I need to be cooking dinner for my kid" I state.
"But you know you can say no to any of the boss's invites....you'll look bad" and he got me there also. "My brother is out of town at the moment and my sister in law is home taking care of her two nephews...what if she stays over at their house just for a few hours, they live not that far from here" he suggest and I am even more confuse. I know and trust Chan, but I am a bit hesitant to leaving her with a stranger woman.
"Chan....I don't know" I say and scratch the back of my head
"She's great and Eunkyung is really friendly she'll get along well with the others until late at night" Chan says and I just nod. He has a point I do need to go to this dinner party and it would only be for a few hours.
"Ok but can I go like tomorrow and talk to her....and take Eunkyung to see if she'll be OK alone...and I will pay for the favor" I say and Chan just nods.
"Yeah yeah just talk to her regard the payment part..." he says and I nod this time
"By the way what are you doing at Sehyoon's office?" I ask Chan and he blushes once again
"Um....community service" he says and rushes to go inside Sehyoon's office
"Aren't you just a great citizen" I whisper and he just giggles. I take a deep breath. This will be the first time I leave my kid with a nanny, and I do feel a bit anxious. But like Chan said I needed to go to this party. After all I still need this job.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Is lunch time and I am heading out to my car. Since Chan is too immersed on helping Sehyoon with his paperwork and other tasks he said he'll eat later.
This kid. He's too obvious.
I decided that I wanted to have a light lunch, so I'll probably just buy a salad from the food court in the mall a few blocks away. I look at my phone to see if I have any call from Eunkyung's school but my phone is clear
"Oh nooo...." I hear a sad voice exclaim, I look to my sides and nothing. I look behind and see a man picking up some stuff from the ground. It seems like the box felt from his hands, allowing everything to spread through the ground. I move to his side and start helping picking up his stuff and placing them inside the box
"Here let me help you..." I say and then I meet a pair of cute brown eyes in front of me
"No, don't worry is fine" he smiles my way a bit shy, maybe a little embarrassed of this situation. Just then I recognise his face
"Oh...Dongkwan, Dongbin...." I try to remember
"Is Donghun, Mr.Jun" he says and now I am a bit embarrassed, that he did remember my name and I fail to do so.
"Please just Jun or Junhee" I say and he just nods, "but let me help" and he doesn't reply so I take it as a yes. I help him pick up some stuff. A toothbrush, some picture frames, a t shirt and some notebooks. Once everything is on the box, he carries it with both arms.
"Well thank you Junhee" he says and starts walking away
"No problem Donghun" I say and he just smiles once again before walking away. Why is carrying so much stuff?
I make my way to my car and then just notice this man is standing on the side walk, is he waiting for the bus? I know how uncomfortable it is to travel on bus with that many things. And if this man is as clumsy as today. I drive my car and stop in front of him, I lower my window so he can see me, he's daydreaming or something because he doesn't see me until I honk.
"Hey Donghun...where you heading?" I ask and he's a bit doubtful
"Um....to Namgu" he finally replies. Namgu is probably 25 minutes away. My lunch I have this worry but since I'm already park here
"Want a ride there?" I ask, and he starts to shake his head abruptly, "no worry I'm heading south anyways..." he stays there not moving
"Is fine really" he insists
"Is fine...that box looks heavy" I say and he nods slightly. Soon he's walking over to my car I unlock the trunk and he places the box on the back and then takes a sit besides me
"Is this ok?" He asks looking at me shyly
"Yes is totally ok...so what part of Namgu?" I ask
"Just until we reach the main train station please" he says
"Sure"
"And thank you....can I at least treat you for lunch?" He asks me and I am about to decline the offer, since I need to hurry back to the office, when my stomach starts grumbling and I hear Donghun laugh a little
"I'll take that as a yes" he says a bit more relax
"....fine, but I offered the ride since that box looked too heavy for you but I'll take your offer" I explain and make a weird comment without realizing.
"And I offer the lunch because you are really skinny" and I turn his way
"Touché" and we both laugh, as I drive us to Namgu.
