Kind And Friendly

Many people gathered at the Silver Shine Book Center, one of the largest book center in Gangnam. They were eagerly waiting for one man.

It was the place where Aiden Lee was supposed to have a book signing event. A winner of many awards including the prestigious Man Booker International Prize, he was regarded as the number one novelist in the country. Even the media personnel from different broadcasting networks were present there, patiently waiting for the event to be started.

The event was scheduled to start at 10 in the morning. It was finally the time! A dashing young man appeared in front of the crowd. He looked so perfect and masculine with a light blue mandarin collar shirt. The shirt was tucked in neatly which added more to his gentleman looks. It was paired with a white trousers and a brown loafers, which made him look both casual and formal. His rolled up sleeves allowed him to showcase his silver color watch, perfectly placed on his left wrist.

Aiden entered the literature world at a young age of 22 and became the youngest yet most successful novelist of his time. Now, at 28 years old, he was one of the youngest millionaires in the country. He can afford whatever he wants but he maintained low key and dressed himself in a simple manner but his perfect looks outshined it all! His pure dark black eyes were captivatingly beautiful. He had an uniformly brilliant black hair. He was enticingly handsome as if his looks could put the gods to shame!

He bowed humbly and introduced himself to the crowd, "Hello, everyone! Thanks for coming to my humble book signing event. I'm novelist Aiden Lee. Nice to meet you all!" He said with a dazzling smile that every woman would fall for!

As soon as he finished the introduction, the place was filled with the shouting and murmuring of the fans present there!

"Oh my god! He's so freaking...handsome!"

"He should be an actor! Look at his smile!"

"I wish I could date him!"

"I can't believe my eyes! I think I'm about to faint!"

"His writings are as good as his looks!"

"He's always so polite and humble! He really deserves to be the best writer!"

The book signing event took four long hours. Aiden was sitting at the Chief Editor office of Blues Publishing. He placed his head on the back of the sofa, his head facing upwards. He seemed to be so exhausted.

"If it makes you that exhausted, you should make it shorter. Why did you do that long?" One young man said to him as he hand over a bottle of cold water to him.

This man was Lucas Han, Aiden best friend who was the Chief Editor of Blues Publishing, a publishing company that published all Aiden works. Lucas Han inherited this Publishing Company from his late father.

The duo were best friends for more than a decade since their school days. Having interest in the same field, they stick to each other ever since.

As a top author in the country, many famous publishers came to him offering many exclusive contracts. But Aiden was a loyal friend and stick with his friend publishing company even after he became the bestselling author. Apart from all, Lucas was the one who helped him build his career as a writer.

Aiden opened the bottle and finished it in one go. He must be really tired. "They are my fans. Without them, I won't be where I am now." He said in a calm voice. "Besides we make a notice saying that the first 500 fans who entered the room will all get my autograph. I can't disappoint them." He added, a small smile forming in his lips.

Lucas Han stared at his friend. For a while, he forgot that the one he was talking to is none other than the man whom his fans labelled as 'the kind and friendly Aiden Lee'! How foolish of him! Currently he's the most popular author in the whole country! Many people would be crazy to get his autograph. It would be a good chance to make more money, but he still insisted to make that notice. He always prioritize his fans over himself!

As expected, countless fans gathered there. There are so many fans that even the Book Center was surrounded by thousands of fans during the book signing event!

"Okay, okay. What did I expect from you! You're disgustingly kind!" Lucas scrolled through his smartphone and his face completely changed as he smiled brightly. "Hey! Aiden, look at this. There are so many articles about you. All of them are a positive one!"

Lucas read out the comments of some fans.

"I attended the event and Aiden Lee was such a gentleman!"

"Wow! No wonder he's so popular!"

"The kind and friendly Aiden Lee!"

"He's kind and handsome too! He's so friendly and he makes me feel really proud to be his fan!"

A simple smile was the only reaction Lucas received from his friend. But Lucas was used to this reaction. Aiden was never the type to show off, no matter how popular and successful he was!

"Did you have plans for the evening? What about having a drink?" Lucas suggested. Aiden new book was doing really well again and he wanted to celebrate with him.

"Let's do it next time. I already have a plan." Aiden picked up his jacket and prepared to leave.

Lucas was really disappointed. "Why? Did you have a date? What are you doing behind my back?!"

Aiden chuckled. This friend of his, will never stop clinging onto him. "What date? I will visit the orphanage today. I already promised my mother that I'll be there before 4 p.m. It's almost time." He patiently explained to Lucas.

"I'll be going then. See you tomorrow." He bid farewell to his friend and leave for the orphanage.....
