10 - BUSINESS TRIP

Today is Saturday and Chaeyoung was planning on going to her old house. She was about to exit her room when the the door opened revealing her friend Kim Jisoo.

"Chaeyoung-ah... Can we talk?" Jisoo still looks bothered but this time, it's different.

"Why Unnie? Did something happen in the restaurant again?" Chaeyoung asked as they sat down the bed.

"No! no. Everything is actually going fine again in the restaurant." Jisoo answered.

"Then what is it? Oh. Let me guess. Suho oppa." Chaeyoung said.

"Is he still not talking to you?" she added.

"We talked already... and..." Jisoo can't bring herself to talk.

"And?" Chaeyoung was waiting for her answer.

"He said he likes me. Like, romantically likes me." Jisoo was finally able to say it.

"Okay. Now what?" 

'WHAT?! I just said he romantically likes me"

"Yeah. He loves you. What's bothering you?" 

"THAT!" Jisoo was pissed thinking her friend doesn't understand you.

"Seriously unnie? EVERY freaking ONE in the world who saw you together would immediately know HE LOVES YOU! Even hyunsuk saw you two together once and he said Suho was head-over-heels for you. Gosh Kim Jisoo."

"Really?" 

"YEAH!"

"What do I do?" Jisoo asked, worried.

 "I mean, do you like him?" Chaeyoung asked which made Jisoo speechless.

"Maybe. Maybe not. I mean, I'm thankful for everything honestly... but I don't think I can reciprocate what he feels for me anytime soon."

"Then tell him."

"What if he avoids me?"

"You can't blame him. Although only a stupid person will do that and he's not that stupid. Just tell him the truth Unnie... instead of giving him false hopes."

"You're right. Where are you going though? You seem to be dressed." Jisoo said, realizing Chaeng was dressed in jeans and shirt and has her shoulder bag with her.

"I'm gonna get the cassette tapes. I hope they did not throw it though." Chaeyoung said.

"Well, sorry for bothering you. You can go now."

"It's okay Unnie. You'll be okay" Chaeyoung said and then left the house.

She was already on the road, on her way to her old house when her boss suddenly texted.

FROM MR. PARK CHANYEOL

Ms. Park, I know it's a Saturday but I need you in the office right now. It's urgent. Come here as soon as possible.

Chaeyoung was contemplating whether she should go to the house first but thinking it must really be urgent, she decided to go to the office first. She then was greeted by a sight of her boss wearing black jogging pants, a plain white tee with his hair down.

"Gosh... he looks way more hotter in casual clothes. Wait? Why am I thinking like this?"

Chaeyoung snapped to her senses and greeted her boss who just realized her presence as she spoke. Chanyeol looked at her and di not mutter a word for seconds. Chaeyoung thought the guy is probably judging her clothing again.

"When did this girl look this attractive? Is it because of her high wait jeans that compliments her long legs? or is it her low ponytail? Wait... why am I even seeing her attractive?"

"Are you judging me again sir?" Chaeyoung asked which made Chanyeol wake up from his daydream.

"Yes. And you look... decent." Chanyeol answered which made Chaeng both happy and pissed.

"I wonder what I need to wear that you will think looks good." Chaeyoung muttered lowly but Chanyeol semmed to hear.

"What? Are you saying something?" Chanyeol asked while looking at her intensely.

"Yes. Sir. I was saying something." Chaeyoung answered which earned more of her boss' attention.

"What is it that you need help sir?" Chaeyoung just said to stop herself from punching the guy and another long ass argument.

"Here." Chanyeol said, handing a shit ton of paper.

"Okay... what do I do?" Chaeyoung asked.

"Read it. Look what we might need for Monday." Chanyeol said still focused on what he was doing.

"Oh... we have a meeting on Monday." Chaeyoung said.

"Yes. So ready your passport and pack your clothes... good for 3 days." Chanyeol answered, now looking at Chaeyoung.

"For what Sir?" She asked.

"We're going on a business trip."

"What?! Could you repeat what you just said Sir?"

"Are you deaf or something? I said we're going a business trip."

"Where?" Chaeyoung asked.

"To Thailand" Chanyeol said with a smile then went back to his work again.

What the heck did he just say? We're going to Thailand?!

She has been working for years now but never has she been able to leave the country for a business trip because of her old boss' shitty son.

This is going to be an exciting trip...
