KANG MI RAE
“Perhaps are you in love with him?”
I asked her again
She seemed to be confused..
She didn’t give me a fast reply
“Huh?”
“Am I wrong?”
I asked her probing her forward to see her reply
“That’s.. That’s…”
She stammered
“I guess I said something wrong”
I said to her
“No..I’m not in love with him”
She gave a blunted reply
I still wanted to go ahead
“Then is he the one in love with you?”
I asked again
“Huh?”
“Isn’t it?”
I said still trying to push words into her mouth
“No. Mr Kim is just my boss and nothing more!”
She said smiling
I decided to take the lead forward
“Ah! I see but he seems nice to you”
I said..
“Maybe”
She said still smiling
“But..”
I wanted to go on but I decided to cut it off.
It seems my questions are ma-king her uncomfortable.
I can s-en-se that!
“I’m sorry! It’s because I’m s-en-sitive”
I said to her
“It’s okay”
“Je Na has been my best friend for over seven years”
I said standing up
“Wow..nice”
She replied me
“But you know what?”
I said as she looked on anxiously
“What?”
“I had always expected him to like me or maybe d@t£ or even ask me out”
I said pouring out my mind
“Really?”
She asked surprised
“Alas! He didn’t.”
I said but it seems she’s still uncomfortable so I decided to leave
I got what I wanted!
“Maybe you have a lot of work right?”
I asked her
“It seems like that”
She said gloomy
“Aigoo! You should have told me”
I said walking up to her
“It’s nothing!”
She smiled
“I’d like to take my leave now”
I said
“It was nice with you Miss Mi Rae”
She said still smiling
I only waved my hands as I walked out of her office.
I got all I nee-d!
That’s all matters!
I’m glad she isn’t in love with him
I’m so happy she isn’t!
Now I can leave Korea again..
I’m always coming because if Je Na
To check if my space is still intact
I love him and nothing can change that fact!
I’m not willing to give him up
Never!
I grinned to myself as I walked unto his office trying to call him for lunch.
PARK HYE JI
How could she ask such a question?
That’s so lame!
Asking if I was in love with Mr Kim?
Gosh!
That freaked me out..
My heart almost jumped out..
My stomach rumbled as I remembered I didn’t even have breakfast yet..
I didn’t have time
I checked my wristwatch as it was even time for lunch..
“I’ll finish the files when I’m back”
I said to myself
But for now I nee-d to visit the cafeteria..
I walked out as I walked towards the company cafeteria
I got there as I met Mr Kim and Miss Kang together eating
They looked like couples
Bull$h!t!
He waved at me as I bowed
I turned to bring my head up as I my gaze met with Jin Ho’s
Gosh!
I hate seeing him now!
I walked towards an empty seat after ordering for food..
I sat down there straight..
I was about to pick the chopsticks when Jin Ho appeared in my front
“We nee-d to talk!”
He said to me
“We have nothing to talk about!”
I said trying not to look into his eyes
“Hye Ji Listen to me!”
He said screaming
“I have nothing to do with you!”
I also screamed at him drawing people’s attention to us
I stood up immediately
“Hye Ji?”
He was visibly surprised
“You pla-yed with my love and I promise to get someone better than you”
His eyeba-lls changed as it seems my words brou-ght fury
“Someone better?”
He said
People st©pped eating now as they kept watching us .
Mr Kim tried standing up but Mi Rae held him back
“I’ll make someone better fall in love with me!”
I shouted
“Someone better like your Boss? Just like Kim Je Na?”
“Yes!”
I screamed out..
The sliver spoon in my hand fell down as it chimed loudly like an acceptation has been made by Buddha
Oh my!
What have I just said?
Jeez!
Is it a mistake?
Or I said it intentionally?

PARK HYE JI
I stared into space as I couldn’t look into anyone’s eyes.
Did I make a mistake by saying yes?
Jeez!
I left everyone surprised with my response.
I looked at Mr Kim as he stared at me with shock all written over his face.
Gosh!
Everyone stared at me
This is embarras-sing..
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry”
I whispered to everyone and at the same time bowing as I quic-kly and quietly walked out of the cafeteria
Jin Ho still followed!
What’s his problem..
I walked away quic-kly as he caught up with me.
“Hye ji!”
He called me but I pretended not to hear
“Hye ji, can’t you wait!”
He said again as I was frustrated
“Jeez! Can’t you just leave me alone?”
I screamed turning to face him
I was glad that the lobby is empty.
Everyone isn’t back from lunch yet
“Why should I?”
He asked walking up to me..
He’s just so frustrating..
“Look! I no longer have a crush on you, so get the fv¢k out of my life!”
I screamed again
“St©p telling me to leave!”
He also screamed
“Oh! Now it’s my fault right? After using up my feelings”
I said
“Used up your feelings? Hye ji st©p being childish!”
He said pleadingly but I wasn’t re-ady for anything
“You had a girlfriend all along and you knew I had a crush on you”
I said trying to lower my voice
“I..that’s..”
He stammered
“Well, yeah. You’re stammering”
I said to him
He walked up to me as I continued moving back..
My back is now against the wall..
“Jin Ho move away!”
I screamed
Still he walked up..
“Jin Ho move!”
I said with tears alre-ady forming in my eyes
“What if I don’t?”
He asked grinning
“Jin Ho plea-se just go!”
I said to him
“I said I’m sorry so why should I move away from you?”
He asked as if bewitched
“Move now Jin Ho!”
He was only an inch away from me now..
I was getting uncomfortable
“What if I don’t?!”
He shouted
“Of course you will!’
A voice said answering him
I looked side wards to find Mr Kim
I don’t know why but I felt a ting of relief…
I’m glad!
” And who are you to tell me that?’
Jin Ho still argued
“Go whine to your Girlfriend!”
Mr Kim said in smiles..
Jin Ho angrily left…
Mr Kim walked up to me..
“Are you okay?”
He asked with a worrisome voice
“Yes! Thank You”
I said bowing
“It’s Okay”
He replied
“Erm..about what I said earlier, don’t take it serious”
I said …
“It’s okay, I can un-derstand”
He said as I heaved a sign of relief
“Kamsamita!”
I bowed..
He turned as he walked away..
He’s just like a guardian..
Thanks to him…
KIM JE NA
I walked into the office to find Mi Rae
“Welcome”
She said to me
“Welcome? It’s not like I’m just coming”
I said smiling
“You went to console her again right?”
She asked smiling
“Oh! Maybe”
I said smiling too
“Does she like you?”
She asked me as I surprisingly stared at her
“Who? Hye Ji?”
I asked in laughter
“Yes”
“No! Never”
I said still smiling
“But she gets special treatment from you, isn’t it?”
She asked again as I looked on
“Special treatment?”
I asked with surprise
“Yeah, like consoling. As far as I could remember, you ha-rd ly console women but…?”
She said st©pping halfway
Is that true?
I ha-rd ly care about women truly but why Hye Ji?
Is it because she’s my PA
Or because I feel her pain whenever she’s hurt?
“It’s because she’s my PA”
I said jumping into conclusion with my thoughts
“Really?”
She asked still probing forward…
“Yes”
I said not quite sure of myself
“Do you see her as your PA or you see her as a woman?”
She asked ma-king my heart miss a beat..
“Huh? A woman?”
I asked with bewilderment
“A woman you could love! Or in other words, Do you love her?”
She asked the question straightforward
I was left into confusion
On many other days I would easily say my answer but why am I hesitating?
Do I love her?

[BUT_I_LOVE_YOU]
KIM JE NA
I don’t love her
Do I ?
No!
I wondered aloud
“Je Na?”
She called me again
“Huh?”
I was abs£nt minded
“You’ve haven’t answered me yet”
She reminded me of the question that made my heart missed a beat
“I..do..don’t.. I don’t love her”
I stammered before answering her
“You’re stammering?”
She asked smiling
“No..no I’m.. I’m not”
Just again I gave myself out by stammering again
“You just stammered again!”
She said in laughter
“Anyways Hye Ji is just my PA, nothing more!”
I said trying to stay on my voice
“Really?”
She asked
“Yeah!”
“Or have you developed a liking for the young chap?”
She asked again
Liking?
That’s true!
I do like her
“Yes, I like her”
I said as her expression changed immediately..
Why?
KANG MI RAE
“Yes, I like her”
He said without even giving it much thought as my expression changed immediately..
He noticed that..
“Mi Rae?”
He called me
“Yes?”
“Are you okay?”
He asked but I wasn’t sure of what to say
Am I okay?
Absolutely I’m not!
“Yes,I’m okay”
I said trying not to let my emotions betray me
“Oh! There’s a difference between like and love! Don’t misquote me”
He said bluntly
My heart tinged up again as bubbles bur-sted in my stomach
“I know”
I said smiling
“So what’s up? When are you leaving?”
He asked anxiously
“Are you trying to s£nd me away from Korea?”
I said jokingly
“Never! How I wish if you could stay”
He said in a worrisome voice
“Then I’m staying!”
I said in smiles
“You are? For real?”
He asked in excitement
“Yeah, but I’ll nee-d a job here in your company”
I asked pleadingly
“Why here?”
He asked
That’s normal
I could easily work in my dad’s company.
“Someone wanna steal my property”
I said grinning referring to him as my property
“What’s that?”
He asked me
“I can’t let you know!”
I said in laughter
“Oh!”
“So make my job easier so I won’t go back to New Delhi”
I said in smiles
“Of course I will, your wish is Je na’s command”
He said as I bur-sted into laughter
“I nee-d to go now, see you later”
I said walking out of his office without bothering to hear his response
I’m gonna stay at Korea
I can’t let anyone take you..
I’ve been loving you for over 7 years so u can’t give up on the love
It’s me you d@t£ or no one else!
You probably love Hye Ji
You ain’t sure yet!
But I love you
I can’t let you fall in love with her
It’s my space not hers!
She’s no one!
I’ll work towards you hating her!
I make you detest her if that’ll create a space in your heart for me
I’ll create a demon in your heart for you not to accept her!
Because you’re mine!!!
