Chapter 3

It was 10am when I woke up. The Sun was shining bright but I still wanted to sleep. Before I could drift into dreamland again someone knocked at my door.

I groaned and stretched out my arms "I'm not ready to get in touch with Humanity" I mumbled.

"Rose? Are you awake my dear?"

Oh, it was Mrs. Kim.

I got up and put my bathrobe on. "Yes Mrs. Kim I'm awake I just need a second!" I opened the door to her and she smiled at me.

"Good morning Mrs. Kim uhh is there something wrong with the room reservation?" I asked her. She wouldn't wake me up early in the morning for no reason. Well, that was what I thought.

"You looked so tired last night that I thought I should bring your breakfast up in your room" She stepped to the side to reveal a tray with Steamed eggs, rice, spicy seafood salad and Tea. "If you want more the Breakfast bar is open from 9am to 11am"

"Mrs. Kim you didn't need to bother bringing me breakfast" I scratched my neck. It was a nice gesture of her.

"I usually don't bring breakfast up but you looked so tired and this is the only time I will do it my dear!" She looked at me with eyes who seemed to judge me.

"Thank you Mrs. Kim I will try to wake up earlier so you don't need to bring me breakfast again" I said awkwardly and bowed down.

"Good, enjoy your breakfast" she said with a smile and bowed down too. And soon she was gone.

I grabbed the tray and went into my room closing the door behind me on my way. I slid down the door with a sigh.

"Okay Rule number four don't mess up with Mrs. Kim"

She is a nice woman but still strict like my Father. I laughed, he shouldn't worry about me here is a female version of him.

I got up and went to the table at the window. The view was not bad but not beautiful too. What else do I expect from a Hotel this cheap. I sat down and begun to eat it tasted so good. The Korean food was worth the 16-hour flight and tiredness. I actually didn't plan to eat in the Hotel, rather outside. I wanted to try different foods and what I was most excited about was to try Mochi for the first time but before, Work! I finished my breakfast and took my Laptop out of my Luggage. I turned it on. I started to type things in.

"Hmm how should I start?" I typed 'Seoul Art Galleries' in first.

"Ouh, bingo...Gaia Gallery, The Columns Gallery, Kukje Gallery...where do I start?"

I made a list and planned to go to every Gallery I could today. Today I'm wearing a white dress with brown sandals. I brushed my hair and put on a full-face make-up. I wanted to look good today, the first impression is always important. I also took my portfolio bag out of my luggage. They probably wanted to see some examples. I got out of my room, closed and locked the door behind me.

Mrs. Kim was at the reception talking to a customer I waved at her and went out before she could stop me. I was not in the Centre of Seoul so it would take me an hour to go to the Gallery's. I had few apps on my phone who showed me the way to the Train station. It wasn't hard to find my way around Seoul. Not to mention that it's my first time here. After entering the train which led to the first Gallery on my list I enjoyed now the beauty of Seoul. Yes, even at daytime it was beautiful. The Sun was still shining bright and it's warm.

_

I was at the first Gallery it only took me 36 minutes as I expected. The walls were all white with paintings hanging from it. Lee Minyuk, Kim Choi, Choe Jisoo...wow so many amazing artists in one room. I looked around until a young man approached me.

"Hello Miss? Can I help you out? These Pictures are the favorite ones here..."

"Oh, I actually wanted to talk to the Manager of this Gallery...Oh I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself my name is Ryu Rose" I said and bowed down with a smile.

The person in front of me chuckled. Well, there goes my first impression.

"It's all good Miss Ryu. What is it you want to discuss with our Manager?"

"I'm looking for sponsors or who would like to present my Paintings in their Gallery"

"Ohh, okay I'm sorry Miss Ryu I don't want to sound rude but we don't hang up pictures just like that we prefer already known Artists" he looked at me with pity in his eyes. "But I hope you find what or who you're looking for and good luck in the future"

I didn't try to talk to him more and thanked him for his help and went out.

It went on like this in every gallery I was told the same. I never said it would be easy but still there was no sign of hope for me. I looked up to the building in front of me. The last Gallery on my list.

"Who made a beautiful woman like you upset?"

The person behind me made me jump out of fright. I turned around to see who he was and my eyes widened at the sight. A man, also maybe in his 20's, stood in front of me with his hands in his pockets. He was wearing a black suit and damn was he hot.

"W-what?"

Rose, not the right time to be overwhelmed by his beauty. Remember your Goals, these don't contain boys! I shook myself back into reality.

"Some people don't see Talent on the first sight that's all" I said crossing my arms with a frustrated expression on my face.

He chuckled at my words "Maybe I can help you out?" he said with a smirk on his face.

"No, unless you have an Art Gallery" I said "And would mind to present my Paintings" Irony was clearly dominating my words.

"Hmm" He looked like he was in thoughts "Yes I have an Art Gallery and yes I would mind presenting your Paintings" he said still in thoughts.

My face lit up in a bright smile "R-Really? I'm going around all day long asking everyone in every Art Gallery and no one wanted me, they didn't even try!"

"Well I get why they didn't try, it's risky you know? I can see that you are or are trying to become an Artist" he said with seriousness in his voice "The thought on spending money on someone like you scares them"

"Someone like me?"

"A non-Artist"

Wow, that hit hard.

"But I will give you a chance, show me your talent at a dinner with me today" he holded his hand up to me "Let me introduce myself, Han Chin-Hwa"

I reached for his hand and shooked it "Ryu Rose nice to meet you Mr. Han" not knowing what awaited me.
