"Miss Hyun, let's try the ice cream over there." It's Chance who initiated a conversation first with her. To take note she's stuttering in Korean but still cute. Both Wendy and Jennie just giggled on her cuteness. While Sharon was eyeing Irene suspiciously.

"You're speaking in Korean." Irene pointed out.

"Is it bad?" She scrunched her nose, her usual habit when she's being shy. "I observe you are not confident speaking in English. I know for a fact that I am a Korean so I think I know how to speak fluently before?"

"Lili, I didn't know you're quite observant. Then that's good, Hyun can talk freely and confidently in Korean." Jennie winked at Irene. The older girl just rolled her eyes.

"Sharon let's try the hotdog stall over there." Wendy pulled Sharon with her and Jennie followed. Irene was grateful that she could have some time alone with Chance now.

"Huh? Well, I think I'll pass I wanna try the ice cream too." The CEO declined but the two girls already dragged her to the hotdog stall.

Chance spoke once again, "So how long have you been working in medical care?" They were in front of the ice cream parlor.

"Just weeks, to tell you honestly."

"You mean to say, I am your first patient? I thought you and Wendy both worked in the same hospital."

"Well, I know how to take care a patient that's the most important part and this is just a simple task that Wendy needs my assistance."

"But you don't look like an average woman who works for someone, Miss Hyun." Her comment made the older girl laughed. Chance never heard her laugh and it was like music to her ears. She smiled widely seeing the other side of Irene. She better speaks in Korean so they could have more conversation like this.

"Yes, you are right. I used to work in a big company. I resigned and managed my own business."

"What kind of business?" She grew more interested about the older girl.

"Photo studio, my lover originally owned it." She just fell silent after mentioning her lover. Chance felt she got stung somewhere in her heart. She remembered about Irene's lover, Jennie told her that the older girl is still waiting for that person.

Chance shrugged whatever she's feeling. She felt jealous every time Irene will mention her lover. "Uh, that's cool. So you're good in taking photos?"

"Not really compared to my lover." Another jabbed to Chance's face. She really hope she could stand a chance. Irene removed the strap dangling on her neck and handed the Leica camera to her. "Do you want to try it?"

Her face lighted up and she got excited the moment she held the camera. She was acting like a pro but she actually didn't know how to use it. "How should I use it?" She's still figuring how to use it but she's kinda getting a familiar feelings just by holding the camera. It's like the camera was an extension of herself. She aimed to take a photo of Irene. Being satisfied with the shots, she gestured the older girl to come closer so she could show the results. "Damn, you're so beautiful." She didn't know she said it loudly. Irene blushed hearing how the fascinated patient complimented her. "Miss Hyun? Are you okay? Your face becomes reddish?" The innocent patient asked.

"Oh,yes, I am fine. It is just the weather." She lied. "By the way, you acted like a pro there. I thought you don't know how to use it."

"Yeah, I also thought that way. But it's strange that it felt natural. Like I've been doing it for too long."

"Do you want to take some photos? Are you excited whenever you hold the camera?"

"Surprisingly yes, but I guess it is solely because you are my subject. Nothing could go wrong with a perfect subject just like you, Miss Hyun."
