Soo's sleep broke in the early evening. He looked around and then recalled what Cho did to him at noon. He touched his head which was still aching because Cho pulled his hair with a strong force. He scanned his eyes throughout the room but didn't find her trace.
Getting up from the bed he started calling her name. "Cho, Cho, Cho...are you inside the washroom?," in a loud voice said Soo but there was no response. He walked towards the washroom and stopped right before the door.
"Cho, are you inside?," said Soo, this time with slight loudness. But again he didn't get any response. He pushed the washroom's door and got inside. But there was no trace of Cho inside the washroom too. He immediately turned himself and walked towards the table when his eyes fell on the mobile phone of Cho which was placed on the table.
"Where did she go without taking the phone? This girl is giving me headaches," muttered Soo when he recalled that when they had the argument she left the room. He quickly wore his shoes and picking his phone from the table he ran out of the suite. He asked the receptionist about Cho but she told him that her shift is changed in the afternoon. Thanking the receptionist Soo ran out of the hotel.
"Where should I find this girl? Why is she giving me trouble?," murmured Soo. He walked through the pavement and saw many couples and families there clicking their photos. The sky started turning red as the sun started setting down. Soo put his hands behind his head as he couldn't find any trace of Cho there.
He turned around and once again scanned the area with his eyes. A smile appeared on his face when he saw Cho sitting on the bench there and watching the sunset. He ran towards her and then sat beside her. Terrified that who could sit beside her Cho immediately turned her face to see the person. "Soo??," mumbled Cho with a surprising look.
Soo turned his face to her. "Why did you come out without having your phone? What if someone has..." Soo hasn't even completed his words when Cho cut him and said, "who could kidnap me? Don't you know I'm a black belt Judo player. I would've broken his bones if he even tried to touch me."
Soo started laughing hearing this and held his stomach. "Seriously Cho!" Cho looked at him in confusion, couldn't able to get why Soo was laughing. "I'm saying the truth," stated Cho and turned herself towards him.
Soo stopped laughing and said, "Cho, I wasn't saying someone will kidnap you. You always assume things. I was saying what if someone would be beaten up by your hands? You were in anger at that time. Take a look at my head. You made me bald…, " clarified Soo and then pinched Cho's nose. "Your anger is always on your nose tip." He smiled saying this.
Cho slapped at Soo's hand and then started hitting him at his arms. "Cho, your hands are hurting me. It's like you've carried an iron rod in your hands."
"You need a nice beating Soo. You always made fun of me," mumbled Cho when Soo held her hands and pulled her towards him. The sudden pulling made her heart skip a bit. They both looked at each other when Soo whispered, "enough. Don't run away alone because you're my responsibility now." Cho looked at him and nodded her head. Soo released her and turned her face towards the sun.
"Isn't it beautiful?," muttered Soo.
"What?," asked Cho.
"The sunset. Isn't this beautiful. Look at the sky. The birds are going to their homes. The sound of their chirping clearly indicates that they're excited to go home. I also wanted to have such a free life where I could do whatever I wanted to do, go wherever I wanted to go and then return home with happiness. But the reality is different. It's like I'm free but my soul is caged. I've to smile just to show people that I'm happy but my inner self is sad. I'm bound to do the things which I never wanted to do."
Cho felt the pain of Jun. For the first time he told about his thoughts. Her heart ached hearing this. She put her hand on his. Feeling her touch Soo turned to her. " Soo, after every sunset there's a beautiful sunrise too. Indeed you're forced to do these things but then you can enjoy the other things too," said Cho. Soo turned his face again to the sea while Cho looked at him.
After sharing at the sea for a few hours, Soo told Cho that they should go back. Cho nodded and they started walking towards the hotel. The redness of the sky was overshadowed by the darkness in a few minutes. She saw many couples walking hands in hands through the pavement. She looked at Soo and thought to hold his hand but then stopped thinking he would feel uncomfortable.
"Cho, do you want to eat something in the nearby restaurant?," asked Soo and then turned to her. "I'm feeling hungry. We haven't had a proper meal...let's go," said Soo and they entered inside the restaurant.
They sat on the last table of the restaurant which was beside the window from where sea could be seen. Soo ordered the meals for them and then looked around. "In the restaurant too?," muttered Soo.
"What?," asked Cho and looked at the direction where Soo was looking. She smiled seeing the couple who were kissing each other instead of eating food. "I think they are newly married," said Cho and averted her gaze from there to Soo.
"Then they should do it. It's a public place," said Soo annoyingly. Cho smiled looking at his annoying face.
"Soo then don't look at them. Look somewhere else, like towards the sea," said Cho. Their meals came by them. They both started eating and after finishing their meals then left for the hotel.
Arriving at the suite, Soo laid on the bed there while Cho opened her luggage suitcase. She took out a night dress and walked inside the washroom. After freshening up she came out and told Soo to change his clothes too. Cho opened his suitcase and then picked the clothes for him. Soo got up from the bed, took his clothes and walked inside the washroom.

At the party everyone was enjoying themselves. Some of the employees were dancing, some were singing, drinking and befriending each other. Ani was sitting on a table alone.
"There's no choco shake here. Why are there only drinks?? They should think of employees like who don't drink at all," murmured Ani and sighed. She took out her phone and smiled seeing Jun on the wallpaper.
"I'm missing you so much. I was happy when I was appointed as your assistant that I could see you again, that too daily. Ahhh….I want to go back," murmured Ani. She looked around and thought why Yun isn't coming.
"Should I eat something?," muttered Ani and then went towards the food arena. She took a small plate and kept on feeling it with different snacks. "Oh no, it's full now," murmured Ani. She looked around and started eating them quickly so that no one could see her.
"Ani," called Soon Ji and she jumped in fear. She chewed the food in her mouth and then turned to Soon Ji. Smiling, she just bowed her head lightly and kept on chewing the food inside her mouth.
Seeing her Soon Ji passed a laugh and said, "Ani your entire mouth is covered with food." She put her hand on her mouth. Soon Ji smiled seeing her childish acts. He picked the tissues from the table there and wiped her mouth gently. Ani took the tissue from him and cleaned her mouth thoroughly. She then looked at her phone and saw that her mouth is cleaned now. She drank the water and put the plate there.
"Why were you eating so much in one go?," asked Soon Ji curiously.
"Ahh...ehh...I….I." Soon Ji understood and with a smile said she shouldn't need to reply.
"Sir, why don't you enjoy with others in the party?," asked Ani curiously.
"Same question goes for you," said Soon Ji.
"Ahh…...they were asking to drink which I couldn't. If there would be Choco shake then I would've enjoyed it with them. Why do they have to include only drinks and juices??," muttered Ani.
Soon Ji smiled hearing this. He was going to say something when Yun came there. He looked at Soon Ji and greeted him. "You're Yun, the son of the director right?," asked Soon Ji. Yun replied a yes.
"It's late so we should leave now," said Yun looking at Ani.
"Hmm...I'm also thinking of leaving the party. See you then," said Soon Ji. Yun & Ani nodded and then left the party. In the car Yun asked Ani about Soon Ji Wook.
"His father was also died in the accident along with my father," said Ani with a sad look. Yun got surprised hearing this because no one had the knowledge about this.
