Ilhoon's POV

"Ilhoon did you bring the documents?"
"Yup"

I remember waking up that time because of her phone call only to tell me about that documents.

Actually I felt a lot better than yesterday that is why as soon as I get up I look for the documents. But I notice an ID card beside my bedside table.

It was Areum's company ID.

I cannot find time to return it and since earlier I was thinking of how I will give this back to her. I don't want to ask the help of my sister.

"I know you want to ask me why Areum isn't around during the last meetings."
"No." As if she will listen to me.
"She went home for vacation then she just got back two days ago."

Oh so she just got back that time.

"By the way how was Areum?"
"Ha? She's working with you why are you asking me."
"Ilhoon-a since the first time you meet her you never stop talking about her."
"Where is this going exactly?"
"So?"
"Stop what you are thinking. Seriously?"
"What? I was just thinking of asking you about how she is as my employee..."
"Ahh"

But I can see her mischievous smile.

"Right before I forget. Have you ever talk to her after you met last time?"
"No"
"Ya! We didn't raise you to be ungrateful, disrespectful kid"
"Why?"
"Later make sure to even thank her for taking good care of you."
"Yes noona"
"Aigoo. This kid. Let's have our lunch at the office."

After driving for her, she insisted to have our lunch at their office.

"Areum can you bring down the documents I will be signing that at the exec room?"
"Thanks!"

"Ilhoon just wait here I already ask for our food."
"Okay."

12:10pm
"Come in~"
"Annyeonghaseyo."
"Areum take a sit first. Oh! wait I think I forgot something at my office."
"Should I get it for you?"
"No. I can manage. Just wait for me here."

It looks like my sister is up to something. I tried clearing my throat to ease this awkward silence.

"Ahm..."
"You left this at my place..."
"Oh omo! Thank you very much I thought I lost it already."
"And... I also want to thank you about last time."
"Ahh no it is okay. I— I also want to say sorry..."
"For what?... you don't have to."

I don't really felt that noona left us that long, the awkwardness earlier breaks into small laughter and casual talks about everything. At that moment I find her easy to get along with.

"Can I just take this call?"
"Yes."

I could hear their conversation since it is too quiet in this room.

"I'm hungry. Where are you? Lets eat!"
"I'm still at the exec room. Go ahead."
"Ehhh"
"Yujin only 20 mins left for our break."
"Ehh"
"I'll treat you later? Deal?"
"Deal!"

The knock interrupted her phone call. Three sets of food came in together with my sister.

"Areum I'm sorry. I already consume your break."
"Its okay."
"No its not. You should join us for our lunch"
"But..."
"No buts. Take a seat."

I actually learned a lot of things about Areum since my sister is too nosy about her. Everything about her must be interesting...

But that doesn't mean I find her interesting.

No.
