"Hey little Heehee, when did you get back?" Yo-han started a discussion he wouldn't start on a normal day. He had to since he needed time to think of what to do to avoid the unwanted engagement as is hunch was telling him.
Myung-Hee moved closer to him and checked both sides of his head before asking rudely " Did you smash your head when I was gone?, when did you start to care about me?, You are asking me when I came back? Uhn? I waited at the airport for my forgetful 'Oppa' to pick me when I came back this morning and you are asking me when I came back."
"Hey, when did I suddenly become so important to you that you needed me to pick you up when there is a bunch of chauffeurs who can do that, and you never told me you will be back today." Yo-han retorted knowing that he had mess up her temper because she was more hot tempered than him but equally stubborn.
" That's because my workaholic brother never picks his calls and he won't even return his messages." Myung-Hee almost yelled at him but because of the type of gathering, she cautioned herself but she didn't forget to shoot daggers at him.
Yo-han wanted to laugh at her reaction but he held it in because he rarely smiled in public not to say laugh. He rubbed her head with his hands but did not dishevel her hairs in the process.
On Yeo-Na's side, she was very furious at Myung-Hee because of how well Yo-han treated her and the attention he gave her which made her see Myung-Hee as a big rival.
She cursed beneath her breathe because of Myung-Hee's sudden appearance which is delaying her father's plan.
She tugged at Yo-Han's jacket to remind him that she was still here and they still had an incomplete journey to Minister Guk's study.
"I guess the guys are not the only tag-along's today, please keep an eye on them for me." Yo-han said to Myung-Hee and gestured for Yeo-Na to lead the way.
Yo-han was about to follow her when another miracle happened and he got more time to stall and think.
"Mr Park!" Na-Gil called and walked towards Yo-Han's position with a wide grin on his face.
Behind Na-Gil was a lady, a very pretty lady who wore a very simple but elegant dress and her steps where taken very confidently. The way she carried herself was very graceful. 'Chin up, chest out and nice smile.' was her description.
To tell the truth, she was the most beautiful woman amongst all those present, Yeo-Na included. Because Yo-han was still troubled, he didn't look at the face he only gave his attention to the grinning Na-Gil.
"Mr Park meet your company's counterpart concerning the new ad project, the CEO of Ant Animations." Na-Gil said and pointed his hand towards the lady standing behind him.
When Yo-han final lifted his face, he was shocked when he saw the face. 'That face, what's she doing here.' he was dumbstruck when he saw his crush who had turned into a lady.
Choi Dan-Bi remained calm and collected unlike Yo-han who forcefully controlled himself not to act stupefied. " Hello, Mr Park, I am Choi Dan-Bi, CEO of Ant Animations, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too Ms Choi, as you know I am Park Yo-han from Magic Animations studio." He said and offered a handshake which she took.
Na-Gil frowned at the way the two acted like strangers, Should they not be like. ' Now we meet again.' 'Yes we meet again, it's being five years and I am still in love with you, blah blah blah.' what's with the formalities.
"Mr Park, It's nice to be in competition with you, I have heard news of your success in the art community, and how much of a hotcake you are for animation companies. I wish to have a close combat with you concerning this deal." Dan-Bi said in a very friendly manner.
"Hey what are we strangers? Come on you two were classmates stop the unnecessary formalities." Na-Gil said.
'Classmates?' Yeo-Na who had being listening to the conversation started feeling uneasy. At first she was not comfortable with Yo-han talking to another woman especially a very beautiful woman like Dan-bi, but this was business so she stayed out of it, but now that she could not stay at ease anymore and to top it all she felt electrocuted when she heard Na-Gil's next words.
"And you guys had a crush on one another back then."
"Whoa, Mr Sung, let's not talked about such things here, we are here to talk business." Dan-Bi said to stop Na-Gil from being overly weird again.
Yo-han also wanted to react but he stopped when he realized that Na-Gil did it for him, he said that to chase Yeo-Na away and that was what happened, she left angrily and stomped her feet as she left.
'Na-Gil, you are the best, thank you very much.' Yohan praised in his head.
"Don't mind Mr Sung he is always like that" Yo-han pleaded on Na-Gil's behalf.
After that, he suddenly felt that Na-Gil had purposely brought up Ant Animations because he knew who the CEO was. He purposely dragged her into the so called lobby.
'After telling you that I don't want to meet her, you went ahead to plan this encounter which I thought was a coincidence but it isn't, Na-Gil you are the worst.' Yo-han abused Na-Gil in his mind and gave him a killing glare that Na-Gil recognized well making him feel a bit uncomfortable.
"It's been five years Miss Choi, you are really so capable to have become the CEO at this young age, and I heard that Ant Animations started in the west two years ago, but I never knew that it would be your company. I hope you get the job." Na-Gil commented to ease the awkwardness caused when the two lovebirds suddenly lost one another in each other's stares.
"Thank you, we will try our best." Dan-Bi replied and received Na-Gil's handshake before the latter walked away.
The two of them stared at one another with the same thought in mind. 'Five years younger them.'
