Ms Calla Young

It was already morning, so Rose then tried to wake Min Hong up.

"Boss.. snow already gone. Wake up! Let's go home."

She shook him as well.

Lee Min Hong was finally up. He opened up his eyes which were still sleepy.

Rose thought she wanted to laugh how cute he looked at that moment.

"Why are we laughing, Miss Rose!"

But then, he was up. The taxi driver was up too.

They all thanked the owners.

Lee Min Hong drove Rose back home. They were silent for most of the time. Finally when they reached to Rose apartment, Rose said..

"I thank you everything for yesterday.."

"Well you were so near me yesterday...I even put you in my arms... don't you feel any...wrong for that...umm....but..I did it to.."

"To keep warm...to keep me warm...!" she repeated, "I know that!"

His face was growing pink.

"Anyway see you later....at work then, Boss!"

Then Rose was gone.

Lee Min Hong looked at her walking until she was out of his sight.

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

The days went by. Rose got weekly appointments for photoshoot freelance job.

Lee Min Hong sometimes drove her to the place saying he would have to be passing there. Rose accepted to go with him.

Lee Min Hong did not want to reveal his real feelings yet. He was afraid Rose might rejected him.

He was finally noticed by Ms Calla Young, the chief designer, who came to model photoshoot sometimes. They even came to face to face again one day he drove Rose to Park Fashion Company building.

It was very awkward moment. The two were very surprised to see each other again. Rose made them known to each other.

Lee Min Hong finally said, " Hi..."

"Hi..". she replied back.

But that was it.

Rose could see they were uncomfortable.

Lee Min Hong departed them for that evening.

Rose did her job as good as she could as usual.

Ms Calla Young went back home early even when Jimin and Joy wanted to talk to her more the model she represented to them, they wanted to know more about Miss Yoon.

Ms Calla Young came into her condo room.

She drank a glass of water. She took a shower. And it was bedtime. But Calla could not sleep yet. Seeing a man from her past made her thought back about those days.

She met Lee Min Hong almost more than 10 years ago they were both in their last year of university at California. She was then in tourism major and he was in business management. They went to intern together which made them closer together especially because they were both descendants from East Asia region or South Korea. But it was when she finally took a job as a PR for Lee Min Hong's stepfather agent company of furniture that made them developed feeling for one another.

Ms Calla Young had dated several men before Lee Min Hong. But they were all for short term. She had good time with them although her relationships did not develop into another different level.

However, with Lee Min Hong, the relationship was stronger. He was a caring man and seemed more innocent than her when it came to feelings and relationships. However, during the two years of dating, he had proven to be a romantic loving boyfriend. They finally got married.

It was some time after that, that made Calla realised that she had married young. She was ready for sort of family life that her husband and his family had imagined. She was not happy especially when her young husband would talk about family future and the kids. She did not know. She felt she was not ready for them and she wanted to do a lot of things besides that. She even lost her expected child because of her depression. He tried to comfort her but she knew he was very disappointed. He tried to busied himself with work after that. She also dived into work. He supported her on that. Nonetheless, their interactions became less and less. He sometimes showed signs that he wanted them to reunited but she was not feeling it. At the same she became out going again. She even went out with her old male friends. The gossips were all around although they were anything of serious dating. But she did meet a young man whom she fell in love again. At the same time, she did not want to hurt husband by divorcing yet and her new love was accepting her situation too; of a married woman. Besides, Lee Min Hong did not come home regularly like before. He had been taking business trips. However, things were not the same again when Lee Min Hong caught them on bed one night on their own couple room (of Min Hong and Calla)when he had suddenly came back home.

That ended Calla's married life.
