Mystique Of Aurora

Rj's POV:

I sat there dumbfounded, I don't wanna interrupt them. yeji looks happy. wait? does that mean the girl is... the one yeji has been waiting for? so she finally confessed? good for her.

I quickly finished my meal and went out without them noticing me.

I should be happy for her, I really should be but why am I like this? what is wrong with my heart? why are my tears falling? I went back to the company after composing myself, even though I really wanted to rest, I busied myself by continuing the designs for my new collection

Hj's POV:

the 'date' went well. she's an outstanding woman, just like my grandparents described her. her name is miyeon, cho miyeon, a year younger than me, works at her father's company, has a good personality. friendly and outgoing. she's beautiful I must say, but she's not my type.

she suggested that we should meet again, although I don't see a point why we should I still agreed to it.

after dropping her off at her company, I went to the construction site because they are finally done with the exterior.

"wow," is all I can say looking at the beautiful building "...it's so beautiful, good job Felix" I complimented my friend, the architect

"I'm glad you like it, only the interior is left. and some decorations around the campus"

"how long will it take?" I asked him

"let's say around 6-7 months, the interior will be a big challenge," he said "ah right! now that we are in the interior topic, we have a lot to discuss" he continued

"alright can you come to my office tomorrow then?"

"sure and make sure to bring ryujin to bring with you, we all have a lot to discuss"

"sure thing"

I went back to the company to continue my work and I honestly can't wait to go home and sleep

I was busy working with some papers when my phone rang and of course, it was none other than my lovely grandma who wanted to know how my 'date' went

"Grandma I'm busy"

"Hello to you too darling, how was your date?"

"the 'date' was fine, but she's not my type" I sigh "she's a good person but there's just no spark"

"hmm, I see. but you might never know, try going out a few more times with her. I am sure you two you get along"

"grandma, getting along is not the point. I mean there's no future for us, I don't wanna get married to someone you and grandpa arranged for me. I wanna find love myself."

I heard my grandma sigh "alright, fine," she said and I felt relieved "I will not push you to continue with this date just because of ryujin" she continued. it left me off guard

"what has ryujin got to do with this?" I asked her

"come on, sweetheart. the least you can do for me is, to be honest. Do you think I don't know about it? Do you think I didn't see you looking at her during gatherings and parties? I know that look, honey. the way you look at her is just like how your grandpa looked at me"

"eh-hey, grandma stop with this nonsense. she's my best friend, remember?"

"you can fall for your best friend too you know, take your parents as an example. they never admitted that they like each other because they were best friends and didn't want to ruin their friendship. but one needs to find the courage, don't you think? your dad did that and look at where he is now, marrying his best friend, his love and got two beautiful children"

"I am just scared grandma, what if she didn't feel the same way? things will be awkward between us"

"so? the worst will be her saying no, and you know ryujin is a sweetheart. she won't let things get awkward."

"alright granny, I will try okay? thank you for this"

"anytime darling"

"But what about grandpa? what if he hates the idea of me and ryujin being in a relationship?"

"oh no need to worry about him, we all know he has a soft spot for you two. but I will still talk to him alright?"

"yes grandma thank you once again" and we ended the call

should I really confess? I mean the worst outcome will be a no so should I? I looked at my watch and it was 5:30 pm already, I decided to drop by ryujin's office but her assistant told me she left early so I went straight home

not a single soul was present in the house, I thought she went home early, I called her phone but she didn't pick up. maybe she went to her parents' house.

I took a quick shower while waiting for her.
.
.
it was 6:30 so I cook dinner for myself and made extra in case ryujin came home with an empty stomach
.
.
it was 8:00 and no sign of ryujin, I decided to call her and she picked up

"Hello, ryujin?"

"excuse me, miss? but your friend is a bit drunk and she won't be able to go home by herself, so can you please pick her up?" I think it was the bartender who received the call, he told me the address and I grabbed my keys and coat and went to the said place

I went inside the bar and searched for her, I quickly found her but she was drunk as fuck. it looks like she has a lot going on in her mind

"ryujin?" I tapped her shoulder, she looked at me

"oh? yeddeong, what err you doing hereee?"

"I am here to pick you up, come on let's go," I said as I took her purse

"nooo, whyer should I go with yyyouuu?" yep she's definitely angry at me

"come on, we'll talk at home," I said as I picked her up from her seat

"lettt.. me.. gooo, we have nothing to talkk about" and she hiccuped, cute

and with great difficulty we got home, she softly mumbled throughout the ride... probably cursing me
