The claps resonated in the area as Yuna entered the room, bowing to the managers and the stylists working for her.
"Congratulations, Yuna! You're a winner!" The managers came and wished her. The whole room was filled with smiles, laughter, happiness and success.
They ate congratulatory cakes and drank the drinks, ripping out wrappers from the gifts they received. Even though she was tired, Yuna enjoyed it.
The event went well. Eventually, everyone went out, and only a few close people were remaining.
"Thank you, Yuna! It happened only because you were here," Yuna's manager, Mr Jang spoke to her. "You deserve this. You were the one who has brought us every success here, to us. I can't repay you enough for this."
Yuna smiled at him. "Thank you. And no, this is all because you were there for me all the time. I wouldn't have done this if it weren't for your constant support."
Mr Jang smiled satisfactorily back at her, convinced that she considered him a saviour. Yuna knew he thought about that.
She had simply sprouted the words, like a formality; a "come again" when you're serving your customers and a "let's meet soon" when you're parting with your relatives. You just say it because the person in front of you wants to hear it. You never mean it, never say it from your heart, your mind doesn't register it.
The same had occurred with Yuna. At that exact moment, her heart and brain were thinking of someone else.
