15. Like a love story.


Yeona was at her office working on a local arson case. Although her dream was not to become a prosecutor, she being a perfectionist, wanted to excel at any job she undertook. She was immersed in her work so much that she didn't even bother at what was happening around her.

"Yah Yeona won't you have lunch?"
A voice called out.

However, there was no reply from her side.
"SONG YEONA."

She stuttered.

"Nae?" She looked up and saw Mr. Noh Ji Uk staring at her, his arms crossed.

Yeona adjusted her spect as she said "Mianhamnida sunbaenim. I was jotting down the points..."

"That you didn't hear me calling you..right?"
Noh Ji Uk cut her off.

"Nae...mianhamnida..." Yeona bowed.

"I was asking if you would like to join us for lunch but it seems you are never hungry."
Noh Ji Uk smiled looking at Yeona's confused face and continued "Yah Yeona you are like my younger sister and thats why I get worried like that. If you don't take breaks, you might get sick!"

"Mianhamnida sunbaenim. You go on...I will have lunch later. Ghamsammida." Yeona replied as she motioned her hands to let Noh Ji Uk go for lunch.

"Arasseyo. Just take care...fighting!"

"Fighting."

With this Noh Ji Uk left the room leaving Yeona alone. She resumed to taking down notes on the case. She got a text from Eunji.

Eunji: Why didn't you reply to me last night?

Yeona: Mian Eunji-ya. Eomma called last night and then I forgot to reply.

Eunji: Arraseo. Its okay.

She resumed back to her work. There was another beep followed by a second.

Eunji: So tell me now. What are your thoughts about him?

Eunji: Did you like him?

"Yah! This girl..." Yeona grumbled.

Yeona: Nae I liked him.

Eunji: You sure? You never say what you actually feel.

Yeona closed her eyes and sighed. She didn't know what to say to Eunji about David. She wasn't sure of him. He loved Eunji and that was it. Otherwise, David was an extremely sarcastic person who wouldn't think twice before criticizing someone.

For once, Yeona thought of sharing her feelings about David with Eunji but then gave up because if her best friend was happy with him, she had nothing to complain about.
She resumed typing.

Yeona: Yah Eunji! He really loves you
and thats what makes me happy.

Yeona: I have no problem with him.

Eunji: Kumabda :)

Eunji: Gotta go. Mr. Sejin has come.

Yeona didn't reply.

"Whats with this new client of hers? He seems to be very intimidating."

She thought as she began jotting down the case points.

About twenty minutes later, she heard a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

"Miss Song Yeona? You have a bouquet here for you." The staff said.

"Nae." Yeona looked at the man.

"A gift? From whom?"

Yeona looked at the gorgeously decorated bouquet in awe. The bouquet was huge.

The bouquet had a number of white chrysanthemums beautifully arranged with jittery fritters hanging downward from the entwined hand tied flowers.

"Miss Yeona where shall I keep the bouquet?"

"Umm... here." She said pointing at the table.

The staff was about to leave when he turned around and said "The person who must have sent you the flowers...must have sincere feelings for you."

"Huh?" Yeona frowned.

"Wah...jinja? Miss Yeona don't you know that chrysanthemum sumbolize sincere feelings?"

"Oh...nae... Ghamsammida...Ahjussi.'

The bouquet was beautiful and there was no doubt about that but what caught her eye the most was a note that was tugged in the bouquet.

She unfolded the note and read the words beautifully written.

Yeona~
You might not know me but I definitely do know you. Don't panic. I am your well wisher. You might be wondering who must have sent it..right? You will know..really soon. Till then...take care.
With love
Your secret admirer :D

Yeona sat there absolutely dumbfounded. She didn't know how to react. How can a girl like her have a secret admirer? She thought.
She looked for some further clue about the bouquet and found nothing. She got up and went out to search for ahjussi. She found him waiting near the lobby.

"Ahjussi...who... Who sent the flowers?"

"Oh...my bad Miss Yeona." He said as he took out a receipt from the pocket.

"Here...its from a famous flower shop...your boyfriend must be rich."

The staff replied.

Yeona smiled awkwardly.

"Ferns and Petals?" She read out the name of the shop. She took out her phone and googled it.

The address came up very easily.

The shop had 5 stars and it was said to be most visited by celebs or people belonging to high class.

"Ghamsammida...ahjussi."

Yeona went back to her office room without a word.

She sat back on her chair and called Eunji but she didn't pick up the phone.

Yeona was surprsingly baffled at the sudden turn of events.

'Who must have sent me the flowers?' She thought.

'And that too... from Ferns and Petals?'
She took out her phone and dialled up the number.

"Yeoboseyo...Ferns and Petals?"



*******


Eunji was at her shop working on her recent painting. She had been able to sell a number of paintings since the past few days. Somewhere she believed that the Shaman's words might come true.

She got a call from David.

"Oppa?"

"I was thinking if we could go on a long drive today?" David said from the other end, excitement pretty clear from his voice.

"Aniyo...its not possible. I have to meet up with a client today. How about the weekend?"

"Sounds good...and please don't bring Yeona..I mean..it should be 'us' time. She is bit of a...snob." David complained.

"Yah! I don't wanna listen anything against my Yeona. And she is not a snob. She is an introvert. She needs some time to open up."

"Yeah right. All I want is to spend time with you..." David clarified.

"Yes I do too... Sarangheo."

"Love you too"

They hung up.

Eunji felt pretty bad. Ever since her childhood, Yeona has always been there for her, through her ups and downs and whatever be the situation, Yeona would always back Eunji up. No matter how much she loved David, she could never betray Yeona. She was a pillar in her life that helped her to stay upright in her tough times.

She texted Yeona to see if she was doing okay and to also know about her thoughts regarding David.

Yeona: Nae I liked him.

Eunji: You sure? You never say what you actually feel.

There was no reply. Eunji was feeling sad. The way David would always pick on Yeona and criticize her was not a decent thing to do.

"Next time I am definitely gonna kill him if he repeats it."

*Ding.*

Yeona: I have no problem with him.

Eunji was filled with happiness and satisfaction. Yeona was definitely her pillar.
She was being all smiley when someone called her.

"Miss Dreamer."

She turned to see Manager Sejin waiting by her shop.

"Nae...just a second Mr. Sejin."

Eunji typed a reply to Yeona and put her phone back on the table.

"Annyeonghaseyo. How are you?"

"I am fine Miss Dreamer. How about you?"

"I am doing well too. What has brought you here today?"

Manager Se Jin smiled and replied.
"Well, Sir has asked me to brief you about the contract. He wants you to draw his potrait. I have therefore come here to notify you about the time and place."

Dreamer smiled. Her insides were quenching with excitement. Her heart was filled with happiness. Finally her hardwork was paying off.

She was so lost in her thoughts and self appreciation that she had forgotten about Mr. Sejin standing in front of her.
"Miss Dreamer?"

Dreamer was zapped back to reality.

"Nae Mr Sejin...I understood."
Dreamer smiled sheepishly.

"Then here is the date and time..."

"Mr. Sejin you could have just messaged me. Why did you have to take the pain of coming all the way here just for the date and time?"

"Thank you for your concern Miss Dreamer but not everyone is as understanding as you." Manager Sejin scoffed.

Dreamer chuckled.
"You mean Mr. Yoobin?"

"Nae. He wants to make sure that you are well treated."

"Ghamsammida but... what does Mr Yoobin do? What is his job? He seems to be bloody rich."

"Nae?" Manager Sejin gasped.

Dreamer realized her mistake.

"Mianhamnida. I shouldn't have used the term bloody..."

"Nae? Nae..." Sejin smiled.

'Did I ask something I shouldn't have asked? Why does he look so nervous?' Dreamer thought.

"Ah... actually Sir is a... businessman.."

"Oh...what type of business?"

"Ah...he is...like...umm..."

"Okay okay...You don't have to say it. He seems to be a nice person and so his business must be a decent one too. I get it. There are certain confidential stuffs."

"Nae..." Manager Sejin replied, clearly sounding as if he could suffer from a nervous breakdown at any moment.

"Mr. Sejin I will be at the designated place for sure. Ghamsammida."

Dreamer bowed to express her gratitude.
"Nae... I'll take my leave."

"Annyeongghagheseyo."

Eunji sighed as he walked off.

"I guess eomma was right. That shaman lady...is honest...my fortune wheel is rolling..." Eunji whispered to herself.

She checked her phone to find Yeona's missed call.

She called her back.

"Guess what happened at work?" Eunji squealed.

"You listen to me first girl!"
