Reunited

Chapter 4

      "Oppa, what is that? Our CEO haven't mentioned anything yet to me?" I asked  worriedly.

    Is our company really not doing well these days? Are we going bankrupt? But I doubt it, there were a lot of artist who just recently signed with our company, and recently our headquarters just moved into a bigger building. What's on with that taking over of the company? And why does it have to be Gold Medalist, out of all companies here in Korea?

   Does life really play a mean trick on me now?

   "I think it's better if he will explain it to you himself. I texted him already, he's nearby, he can drop by here after his meeting." He said showing me his phone.

   I was so occupied with my thoughts that I didn't realize that Soo Hyun is still here, sitting in front of me,reading intently the agreement paper that Director Park had given earlier.

    Why is he still here?He can actually bring it home since Director Park gave us time to review and read thoroughly the agreement.

      Since I'm here anyway, I decided to start reading it also. I scanned the first page of it, reading the first paragraph. But nothing registers to my mind, reading for the second time is still the same. There are a lot of things bothering in my mind plus I couldn't concentrate when he is here in front of me, stealing some glances from time to time.

     How can he focus reading, when here I am couldn't comprehend even just the first sentence? Okay, I'll just pretend to read it to keep myself busy while I wait for our CEO.

     "It's been a while." he said that made me surprised. I thought that he wouldn't dare to strike a conversation today.

     I laughed awkwardly. "Yeah". I said taking a quick glance at him, then put my eyes back on my paper, however  I could still feel his gaze.

   Just when I thought that he would go back to reading, obviously because I just left him with unanswerable reply, he cleared his throat to speak again.

    "So you ... still with him?"I immediately scan the meeting  room, looking for someone who might just heard him, and to my surprise I was not able to spot anyone in this room except for the two of  us. I heave a sigh of relief. Why is he bringing up the past? Luckily no one is here, or else everybody might discover something about  our history.

"L-let's not put personal matters at work." I said trying not to sound nervous on where will this conversation lead us.

"I guess things never change, still same Yeaji." He said and gave a sarcastic laugh at the end while looking at me, his eyes piercing mine.

I nodded. "Yep. I'm still the same, being professional at work." I hope he will be too, I don't think I can last in this project with him bringing all the personal matters.

He shooked his head, disagreeing with what I just said. "You still run away from things."

I glared at him. Is that really what he thinks of me? I know that I am partly guilty on how we part ways but I did it for the best of us.

"I did not run away, I just chose to avoid things that might wound us in the future." I said reminiscing the past, on how hard it was for me but left with no choice.

I have no plan to explain myself to him but hearing his thoughts hurts me. I did not let him know the whole situation so it's understandable for him to think that way but I can't help to get hurt by that.

"Aren't we now?" He said as he watch me, waiting for my response. I was stunned by his question.

    How can he say that when I always heard rumors about him dating women? He's making me feel guilty for what I did.
