Daeum

"Okay so here are some notes, books, and records you need to take note of. They are all you need to know about our airlines company rules, and whereabouts." Seolbi said to me as she handed them all to me.

"Oh.." I said.

"You gotta learn some info and basics first before you know what you're doing here." Seolbi smiled.

"Next, you're still a new secretary so I might actually accompany you alot and help you til you can manage yourself here in the company." She offered.

"Really? Gomawo." I thanked.

"Alright, I have a meeting to attend to with my boss. Ill be back again later. Chill and sit down. Read those stuff unless you are told to do something then go work." She instructed.

"Ne, arasseo."

"Okay. Bye pretty girl!" She fashionably left the room.

I apparently got the job in Seolbi's company after she I decided to take her offer last time. It turns out she works in a company of airlines.

I sat down and did some learning and reading on my own.

There, I suddenly spaced out...

"Hyungwon-ah what company do you own?"

"Huh? Umm.... Chae... oh we're in the field of airlines."

"Oh my gosh!" I suddenly gasped.

I brushed everything aside and took a moment to remember Hyungwon and the last time we were in contact with each other.

<flashback>

"It's been just a week but I miss you Hyungwon-ah." I said.

We both agreed to call each other through our SNS. Sadly, he didn't want to do a video call.

"Ya! Nado bogoshipda! So so much. I miss you more than you miss me!" He nagged trying to be competitive.

"Jinjja?" I laughed.

"... yeah.." He suddenly replied with a soft voice.

"........."

"Daeum-ah." He spoke after a silent pause between us.

"Huh?"

"You know what, I like you."

He confessed.

Did I hear that right?

"M-mwo? I-I dont understand you.." I asked trying to make him say it again.

"Daeum-ah saranghae. I have feelings for you." He repeated.

"Won-ah..." It was all I could say.

"Don't worry.. I've long understood that you are not mine. I've accepted and made way for you and hyung. But I just really wanted you to know how I feel about you. I like you more than just a friend. Daeum-ah johahae."

He explained as I was shut silent trying to listen and catch every single word he said.

"I'm not sure..." I suddenly uttered.

"Hm? Mworago?" He asked.

"A-aniya... nothing." I took it back.

"Daeum-ah, you and I will meet someday again alright? That day will come." He spoke.

"Ne.. I want to see you. I really do." I said sounding quite desperate.

"Haha arasseo... Bye Daeum-ah. Im busy. I have to go now." He said and hung up......

That night, I thought about him and what he confessed. I had known I liked him back too so I decided to write him a time capsule letter.

To: Chae Hyungwon

Annyeong Hyungwon-ah. It's me Daeum. This is the day you confessed to me through the phone. I thought about my feelings well and since by the time you receive this, it's been years already and I don't know if I still will be in a relationship...

I just want you to know that I actually love you too....

I like you too.

You might hate me though for secretly liking you behind Minhyuk's back but I just want to be honest now.

I'm so sorry if ever your heart broke during all these time, but thank you for being brave and confessing. I don't know when you'll receive this but by the time you do.. Can we have a time for our love?

Bye, I hope you're doing great now. See you soon :)

Love,
Lee Daeum 💘

Now where is Chae Hyungwon?

"Seolbi-ya!" Suddenly the door broke open cutting my thoughts and flashbacks off.

"Oh.. a-annyeonghaseyo." I quickly stood up to greet.

"Oh... who are you? Have you seen Seolbi?" She asked.

"I umm.. I'm Lee Daeum. I'm new here and Seolbi already left to go to the meeting." I answered.

"Oh my gosh is it that meeting?!" She freaked out right infront of me.

"I dont know..."

"Oh my gosh!! Maybe she's already there in the meeting with the owner of this company's son!" She freaked out once again.

"..........."

"Hey you Dana, let's go!" She rushed to get me as we went.

"It's Daeum..." I tried to say but she didn't hear me.

"Here! I was here awhile ago but where is Seolbi?"

By the time we got there, the people were already dispersing out the meeting room. But we could both see some staying behind.

Suddenly, Seolbi caught our attention. She waved to us and motioned for us to go in the meeting room.

"Come come let's go!" I was pushed along inside.

I looked down and only towards Seolbi. I was quite shy to show myself to the authorities in the room who were still conversing with each other.

"Ya! Where's the heir?"

"Jinah, they're moving towards another venue here. Im actually going ahead there too. There's a conference going on right now." Seolbi answered.

"I think we could all go. Anyways, who wouldn't want to miss the chance of knowing and meeting another boss here in the company." Seolbi said.

"Oh, so the owner's son will be introduced now?" Jinah asked.

"Yes." Seolbi spoke as the three of us all went along.

___________________

We reached the place and slowly sneaked in. People were present and there were cameramen. The place was prepared well too.

We stood by the back leaning against the wall as we were listening to who was speaking and paying attention to what was going on.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I gladly present to you my one and only son which I am very proud of. He has done well in the past few years and now I think he is ready to partake in the growth of our business."

"Again, ladies and gentleman I present to you, Chae Won!"

And everybody clapped their hands. I looked at the stage and there I found the said Chae Won walking his way to the center.

Suddenly, I stood here surprised with widened eyes.

He walked to the podium to give a small speech.

"Annyeonghaseyo. I'm Chae Hyung-Won or as my father said, Won imnida."

He spoke emphasizing on his name.

No way.... Hyungwon is back. And he's right infront of me.

I mentally spaced out as I processed everything that was happening right at this moment.

"I hope you enjoy this small event, that would be all thank you." He smiled leaving his last few words.

He looked even greater now with the change. I admired Hyungwon even more now.

I then saw him going down the stage. By instict, I took my chance and started rushing towards the front, leaving Seolbi and Jinah behind.

"Hyungwon-ah!" I called as I was nearing him.

He didn't hear me but his eyes scanned around and looked past me. I swear, Hyungwon partly did see me. He walked the other way instead, approaching a table.

"Jagiya."

Suddenly, I heard his voice call out to another girl as he slowly crept towards her, earning her a loving backhug.

"You looked great. Im proud of you." She layed herself comfortably in Hyungwon's arms.

I stopped approaching him. There, my jaw dropped lightly out of shock as I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing.

I was standing still. I didn't bother to move or look away as I was feeling my heart break apart.

"Riana jagi, you wanna eat out somewhere here in Korea?" I could hear him say to her.

She broke the hug and faced him.
"But I want you to cook for me in the house." She cutely suggested.

"... Hmm.. alright then. Anything for you." He smiled and gave her a peck on the forehead.

"Gomawo, jagiya." She happily smiled.

She looked kind. She was simple yet beautiful. A cute girl to keep Hyungwon cheerful. Most of all, they looked happy in love as from what I could see from their eyes.

Maybe Hyungwon and that Riana girl deserved each other.

I feel sorry for myself.
