New Year Is Here!

Mrs Lee stepped out of a taxi and looked up at the tall hotel building hall and went in there, to reception to get a room.

Then she asked the lady at the reception..."Is Mr Lee Min Hong staying here..."

*********

Lee Min Hong did not feel like going out today. He just sit there on the chair near the tall glass window of the hotel room. Snows were falling a little but overally, there was daylight enough outside. He could even see people enjoying snow outside.

He wanted to meet Rose. But he felt like he was still a stranger to her. He remembered his forced kiss. It was his first time to forced anybody. He could not help smiling whenever he thought about it. Just then, he heard a phone rang from the hotel phone. He picked it up.

"Hello.."

"Hello, Mr Lee,.. here's a lady who want to meet you...!"

...................

Lee Min Hong went to the lobby downstairs.

In the luxurious lobby which was decorated with beautiful antic ornaments...Mrs Lee was sitting on the sofa, waiting for her son.

Lee Min Hong was so happy and surprised to see his mother here.

"How come mom...!", he said. "Why don't you tell me before that you are coming!"

He came and sat beside her.

"My son, I was not sure when I would be able to come here or come here at all. Works are still waiting for me there. But I guess I missed Korea. ...and Busan..and I wanna spend the count down for new year here.!"

"I miss you too mom"

The two hugged.

"Hey I can smell rose perfume on you..I really want to meet this Ms Rose..!"

"Mom!!"

Mrs Lee looked at her son.

"Yes... Darling!"

"Mom...but we have never had any proper talk yet....I just feel....I'm attached to her somehow. I have not felt anything like this for long...it stays like the silent that is becoming loud inside me...and I can't even find the reason at all!"

"Max, my son... things like this... like attraction, love come when it wasn't expected at all!...it's good you are giving your chance once more,.. new year is coming...so should there be new chances, by the way, do you really thinking about doing business in this area.!"

"Yes."

"Wait ...let's not talk about work yet ..my son really look good in this comfortable table..blue really suit you too.. Let's just chill for now!"

************

It was Joy's house which was not so far from Rose's family house. ...It was in her living room..

Joy was going through a book of women clothing design book when Rose visited her.

Rose had just come to say she agree to work for them but she still did not want to give up her architecture job.

Joy smiled at her cousin.

"There's no problem..we will just take some of your holiday time.."

"Umm... where is Mr Jimin?"

"He's back to Seoul for some work..I will follow him tomorrow...It's good to be home again for sometimes...but my parents will stay here for a little longer because of Uncle Park!"

..Just then Rose's interest turn towards a magazine on the table they are sitting by. The woman on the cover was very charming...but Rose did not think she was any celebrities. She was wearing a very stylish black dress which did not much skin. But Rose found the woman very attractive.

"She is very pretty!"

Joy looked at what Rose was looking at.

"Ms Calla Young...!"

"She's gorgeous..who is she.!"

"Yes...she is a uprising clothing designer these days... these days she worked as fashion advisor and lead in public relations a lot. She resided mostly in US. But she was now back to Seoul. Jimin's family just hired her. !"

"Ohhh!"

"You might get to meet her!"

*********************

Mrs Lee came out of her room and prepared to visit her son who was staying above floor.

The dining time had been finished. He would be taking a rest. It was time for a mother like her to interrupt his times.

She went to the lift area.(There was 4 floors above to Lee Min Hong's room floor.)

As the door of the lift open, Mrs Lee was a little alerted. She just saw a very familiar man from her past in the lift.

She went in. The man remembered her too.

There was a silent. The lift reached Lee Min Hong's room floor. The lift door opened. But before Mrs Lee went out, she looked back at the man.

"Nice to meet you again Mr Kim!"
