The night was shining with street lipghts although it was near late at 11 pm.
Kim Eunwoo Woo drove Rose back to her apartment.
While they were on the way, Rose did try to go into conversation with her junior friend.
"I thank you so much for your gifts"
Rose began.
"What are you talking about.." said Eunwoo.
"I mean ...the watch and the white roses. "
"Oh it's ok....I just want to give you ... something... because you are.. you are my senior!"
"We are friends right!"
"Yes. ."
But his face was becoming red.
" Ummm.... you are a very good junior friend! ..." , she paused for a moment.
Then ..
"You know you look really good ... and charming....and. "
Eunwoo was looking at her confusingly.
Rose then said, "I think your future girlfriend is really lucky!"
Eunwoo smiled shyly and tried to look at Rose in the eyes.
But Rose looked away.
"I am your senior friend. And nothing could change that. Although, we are not blood related, I do love you the way I do to Beomgyu."
"You are at perfect age now. You should try find a girl who will be good for you!"
"How about you..Are you still missing him?"
"You mean In Ah...well yep..he's part of my past life!..But my feelings have changed!"
They reached to Rose apartment.
"Thank you very much Eunwoo. See you"
Just as Rose was about to get out.
Eunwoo said.
"Would you give me that chance?"
Rose looked back at him. Something she was worried about what he would say and was he saying it now?
" What are you talking about?
What do you mean by "chance!"
Eunwoo was silent for a time. Should he told her. It had been so long since he was keeping this feelings of his. Since, they were at university years ago. And he felt like it was bombing out of him. He did not he could do hold back anymore even if he was not sure of her answer.
"You said I should find someone. Well I was liking you for years now. I liked you in special way for long now. I will be happiest man if you accept my feelings..I love you Rose.!"
Rose was alarmed now.
He continued.
"You don't have to answer me now..I know you don't feel the same way.."
"And I probably will not be able to..."
"Is that because you've already found someone?"
"No..I might not be able to too!"
There was silent.
She said to him again.
"No Eunwoo.. let's just not continue this topic... Let's forget about what we just said or what you just told me. We are friends!"
And the two friends departed for that night.
That night Rose somehow wanted to cry. Well she just hoped Eunwoo would move on from her.
Eunwoo could not sleep too. Rose was very serious when she rejected him. But he still did not want to give up somehow. He did notice some interactions between Lee Min Hong and Rose too. Was that guy his rival?
And yes, that night Lee Min Hong could not sleep too. Although he should not feel this way, he really was scared that Rose might found someone she wanted to date. It could be Eunwoo too. The boy was clearly showing his emotions. And he ...he really needed to check if he was really feeling that way towards. But he did worry a lot about her at times, and kind of feel towards Eunwoo too because Rose seemed to fond of him.
Lee Min Hong could still remembered his accidental force kiss to Rose. Whenever he thought about it he felt alarmed. But the thing was he did not want to be rejected.
************
The next day started as usual and Rose came to work.
Her feet was still hurt from wearing high heels last night.
When Lee Min Hong saw her walking weirdly...as he was entering the office too. He said..
"Is it hurt...?.. And actually you can take days off sometimes ."
" I'm ok..boss"
Rose told him. She went and sat her desk and prepared to start working.
Lee Min Hong shook his head and went into his room.
Kim Seokjin and Lee Min Hong were busy that day because they had to go and check the building place (to built the condo Rose and the team had designed).
Kim Seokjin even took work back to his home. He was more comfortable at his home in the evening time.
He was so serious with it. But then Mr Kim, his father came into his workshop.
"Working hard my son?"
Kim Seokjin looked up at his father.
"Dad..yes..I am just checking all the documents for our new project. Mr Lee is too!"
"My son, you can some rest...and continue tomorrow.!"
Kim Seokjin replied." It's nearly done.."
"Ok..son...I want something to talk with you tonight.. maybe after your work...we will discuss!"
**************
At Kim's household living room.
"Dad you said you want a word with me?"
"Yes..!"
"Is there anything I could improve on my work?"
"No it's not about work at all... it's about your personal life.... you have been single all these years dedicating to work learning... maybe perhaps..you can started to think about your personal life partner too!"
Kim Seokjin was surprised by his father words.
"Ummm... You want me to find somebody to date?"
"Yes...life is not all about working...by the way what do you think about that girl you want out a lot with..at Busan...!"
"Do you mean Miss Chae Soo Bin?"
"Yes!"
