“Director Kim, the van’s ready.” Woo Hyun says as soon as he arrives at the waiting lounge of one of Krystel Apparel’s boutique where Jong Kook is waiting for Ji Hyo to finish dressing up.

He, as well, is already dressed in a dark, blue and black stripped suit with a royal blue tie, ready to go to a social gathering of top selling brands of the country.

He is nervous in facing the public right after the iussue that has erupted about his recent project.

“Really? Let’s wait for a bit. I think Ji Hyo is almost done.” He says, fixing his suit for the nth time out of nervousness.

“I’m done.” His wife’s voice says just in time.

He turns to the direction of where her wife’s voice came and he sees her standing there under the neon signs of the dressing room, looking all beautiful and glowing that awakens a familiar sensation in his chest, washing all other concerns away. 

He and any other person is fully aware how gorgeous Song Ji Hyo is on a daily basis.

But she still never fails to amaze him every time she dresses up at events like this.

She crosses the room towards him, looking as beautiful as a goddess. 

Her dress doesn’t even look too adorned, just a simple haltered-top royal blue gown that slightly bells out from her waist down to her ankles, but she carries it in a way that makes it look so grand.

Her hair flows down to her shoulders in a messy style, her neck adorned with a silver necklace with a small flower-shaped diamond as a pendant, complimenting her eyes and making it look like it’s sparkling.

He is too focused at her that he doesn’t notice Woo Hyun walking to him until he nudged him slightly by the elbow.

“You’re staring too much, Sir.” His secretary says in a low voice as he smirks.

“Let’s go.” Ji Hyo says, her smile alluring and taking away his sanity. 

He still couldn’t take his gaze off her as she clasp a hand against his elbow and leads him to the door, where Woo Hyun is already out to start off the van.

“What?” she asks, her smile still present on her face as she arcs her brows

“Are you off to blind everyone at the party tonight?” he asks.

“Is that you trying to tell me I’m pretty?” 

He holds her gaze, hers looking like it is worth more than any diamond in the world.

“Beautiful. You look beautiful.” He corrects, sliding down his hand against her arm to hold her hand and lift it to his lips.

She merely chuckles and gets into the van, where he followed after her.

Woo Hyun drives them towards the venue.

Jong Kook leans back against his seat, feeling the peace and quiet that will soon be gone.

He knows all too well that the event is just guised as a party when it fact it’s a battle ground for investors.

It is where alliances are formed, connections are made, and rivalry fully ignites.

He looks out of the window.

It has been awhile since he just sat there and stare at the headlights coming and going at the road they are in, the city lights standing tall and firm at the sides. 

Once they go out of this van, he is certain that he and Ji Hyo will be under the spotlight again as hundreds of camera flashes takes their picture.
