29
Juli was about to leave the cabin and suddenly Namjoon stopped her.
-Mrs. Kim.
She turned around.
-Yes, sir?
-Please, be sitted. I've something to discuss with you.
Juli did as he told her to do. And then, Namjoon opened his mouth to say,
-Actually I need to tell you something since you've already heard me saying things that night.
Juli was feeling ashamed.
-It’s okay, sir.
-No, it's not, Mrs.Kim. There are some untold stories about me. I lost my wife and my child 14 years ago. And after that, I almost turned myself into a beast.
He sighed a little. Juli was staring at him.
-I'm ashamed for whatever I said that day. I don’t know what I did that night since I was drunk. I... I...
Namjoon lowered his gaze, hesitating to say. So, Juli decided to say,
-It’s okay, sir. I almost forgot about it.
-Hmm...
Namjoon glanced at her again and was about to say something but stopped as his phone rang. He received the call.
-Oh hey, Hoseok. How are you?
...
-Aha? Okay, how about if I meet you at 8:00?
...
-Great... See ya later.
Namjoon cut the call and looked at Juli again who was already staring at him.
-Umm... Actually, Mrs.Kim. I was thinking of going out for a lunch...
-No need to worry, sir. I'll handle everything here.
He nodded his head.
-No doubt about it. You're after-all the most reliable employee.
Juli got flustered. She was blushing hard, even though Namjoon said it out very seriously. This was the first time he was praising her that too in front of her.
-But there's something else I wanted to say when you interrupted.
She felt ashamed of doing that.
-I’m sorry, sir.
-It’s okay. I was about to ask you out for lunch. Would you like to join?
Juli's eyes widened.
-Don’t say No please.
-Umm... Yeah sure...
-Okay, finish your works quickly. I'm waiting.
Juli got flustered again. She quickly got up from the chair and stepped out of the room after taking permission to leave from Namjoon. It was mainly because she was blushing mess and she wanted to hide her face that was all red now.
Then, completing her works, she went to Namjoon's cabin but couldn’t find him there and there was a note on the table. She went there to grab it. And then when she read it, it was really hard for her to stop herself from laughing.
It was written by none other than her Boss, The Kim Namjoon. And it was:
Mrs.Kim,
Driver is waiting for you in the garage. Meet me at the restaurant. I at first thought of accompanying you but later I realized people will gossip about it. So, it’s better if we went there separately.
Even though, there was nothing funny about the note yet Juli was laughing covering her mouth.
-Ohh... I didn’t know Boss is that much funny.
Then, she grabbed the note and put it in her hand bag and then stepped out of the cabin. She went to the garage and then, getting into the car, she headed towards the Restaurant and she reached there after half an hour. She stepped into the restaurant and there she saw Namjoon was waiting for her, sitting on a chair of a reserved table. She went there and then, she bowed a little in front of him.
-Please be sitted.
-Thank you, sir.
Saying that she sat down on the chair.
And then a waiter arrived in their table.
-Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon, mam.
-Good afternoon. ( Good afternoon)
They both responded at the same time.
-Mam, here's the menu.
The waiter handed her the menu. But she hesitated. She's like that. Everytime she and Seok-Jin went somewhere she asked Jin to give order for food. Jin used to laugh at her for that. He said, "It’s awkward to order food when a lady is with me."
But she didn’t care. Later on, Seok-Jin understood that she's way too shy... Now, she was feeling shy.
-Mrs.Kim?
-Umm... Sir, I'd like to eat anything you'd order.
Namjoon stared at him and a smirk formed on his lips.
-Are you sure?
-Yes, sir.
-Okay then.
Saying that, he had a look at the menu and then he gave orders but Juli couldn’t understand the Language he used clearly.
And when the waiter was gone, Namjoon glanced at her again.
-Are you shy?😏
-Sorry?
-Never mind.
Then Namjoon started to talk. And when he did, Juli realised that this person has a good sense of humour and wisdom. They'll talk about different things and Juli will certainly laugh hearing some of Namjoon's straight yet funny statement. Time passed like this. They ate and talk about different things.
Then, Namjoon got a phone call. He picked up the call and then he said,
-Okay... I'll be there in 15 minutes. Set everything ready.
Then he cut the call and glanced at his Hand watch.
-So, Mrs.Kim, I've to go somewhere...
-Yes, sir. Me too.
He just nodded his head. And then he said,
-Have a great time.
-You too, sir.
-And by the way, I'm sorry for that night, Mrs.Kim.
Saying that, he put on his sunglasses and quickly started walking out of the restaurant. Juli kept on staring at him. And when he was out of her sight, Juli whispered to herself.
-Is this really our Arrogant boss?
After a few minutes.
She was walking in the streets. It was still winter so it was snowing outside. She was looking at those cute little kids playing with snow and making snowman. She stopped for a little.
All these reminded her of her children.
Inside, her heart was bleeding because of being away from her children but no one will see it, nobody will get to know what she's going through.
(Is it possible to see blood if the bleeding is internal? No, right?
similarly, people don't see someone's pain unless that person decides to shed some tears in front of them.
When people will see tears rolling down your cheeks, then they'll say, "Ohh no, she's in so much pain!"
And Juli's condition was same. She was going through a lot but no one knows about it.
Believe it or not, guys. But this is a cruel truth of human nature. You've to tell them, "I love you", "I miss you" and etc and etc. Otherwise, they'll never know. And this is because in human nature, the tendency to know how a person is feeling, or to know the inner self of someone is decreasing day by day. Then, folks, why are you human beings; the most intelligent creature? Think about it...)
Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder. So, she turned around and found Hoseok smiling at her.
-Mrs.Kim, how are you?
Juli smiled softly.
-I'm good. You're here?
-My Chamber is here. Come snd have a cup of coffee with me in my chamber.
Juli denied his offer but Hoseok kept on insisting her. So, she had to accept his offer.
They both talked about random things while having coffee. And while taking coffee, Hoseok will ask her whether everything was alright or not. That was when Juli told him everything that happened in these days. Hoseok was listening to her very attentively.
-The world is not the way we think of it, isn’t it?
-Yeah you're right, Hoseok.
He nodded his head slowly.
-We'll meet plenty of people who might appear as rude but reality is different than what we see.
-Hmm... The boy I thought was just a playboy was taking care of me like my own son.
Hoseok hummed in response.
-And now, my boss, Namjoon... I never thought he has this much sorrow in his life. He's completely broken.
Hoseok nodded his head again.
-I know. And it'll need a lot of time to heal him.
Hoseok stopped a little, straightened his back and started telling her,
-You know, once I saw a girl was trying to escape some goons and she entered a small hut to hide herself and there was a baby with her as well.
-Then?
-Then, a man appeared and took the baby from her and left the hut very carefully. It was clear that he was trying to save both the mother and the child.
-What happened then?
-As soon as he stepped out of the hut, those goons attacked on the girl and they beaten her up very badly.
-Ohh God!
-She was hit on her head and they fired gun at her but luckily that bullet didn’t get into her body because before it could happen, she got unconscious. Her head was bleeding.
-Then?
-The man that was carrying the baby in his arms came to me and handed me the child and requested me to take care of the child, then he distracted them by running in a different direction. That's what saved the girl's life.
-Is she alive?
-I quickly give the child to my mom and then I checked on her if she was alive and luckily she was. So, without wasting any time, I took her to a hospital driving my car.
-And what about that man?
-Umm... When I was going to hospital, I saw a car crashed in road and there was someone sitting inside the car whose body was covered with blood.
And he was the man who saved her child. So, I took him with me also.
Juli felt sudden sadness. She didn’t know why she was feeling that way. She didn’t even know them. She asked Hoseok,
-Now, how are they?
Hoseok sighed deeply. His eyebrows furrowed.
-The girl is fine. Only problem is; she lost her memories. She doesn’t remember anything. And you know her. Remember Luna?
-Yes. The girl working in your cafe, right?
-Hmm... She's that girl. Since she doesn’t remember anything, I told her that I'm her brother and that's how I'm taking care of her for 14 years.
-And the man?
-He's in coma for almost 14 years. I check on him every week.
-And what about the baby?
-He's living in a small hut in an alley. He calls me his uncle.
I take care of him but I don’t know one thing and that is there's someone out there who's looking after the kid as well. He send the kid a lot of money in envelope with letters saying that the one who sent this money is his dad. This is what I don’t understand.
Juli was surprised as well.
-That truly is strange. By the way, what's the name of the kid?
Hoseok glanced at her.
-The one you're staying with for 2 days.
Juli's eyes widened hearing him. A moment of silence took over the chamber as it both of them forgot how to speak.
Then, Juli gulped and opened her mouth to say,
-Taehyung?
Hoseok nodded his head, still staring at her surprised face.
