"Ji Hyo-ah, you're still not done yet? Palliwa (hurry up)..."yelled Ji Hyo's mother who broke her daydream about the man named Kim Jong Kook. The woman immediately put her drawing book back into the locker and ran towards the door to go down to the dining room.

         "appaaaaa ...!!"Ji Hyo shouted excitedly when she saw her father sitting at the dinner table with the rest of the family who were waiting for her. She ran towards her father and wrapped her hand around her father's neck to hug him.

           "I miss you appa" said Ji Hyo as she landed a kiss on the father's cheek.

          "aigoo, my little girl has grown up as a beautiful woman now, I miss you too baby..."said Mr Song stroking Ji Hyo's hand which hugged him.

             "Ji Hyo-ah, just eat first now, let's eat together" said Mrs. Song giving a warning to her first daughter. Ji Hyo let go of her arms and sat down on the chair next to her father, the Song family members were finally able to have dinner with the completed members tonight.

            "Ji Hyo-ah, You know the M fashion agency?" Mrs. song asked to start a conversation.

           "ne oemma (Yes mama), wae (why)?"Ji Hyo asked curiously.

         "they need a professional designer there," said Mrs. Song.

         "ooh ...."Ji Hyo doesn't seem interested.

           "just ooh? Yakk! just go to work in that company. Mom ask a friends so you can work for their company, " tell Mrs Song.

          "what? Me? Why?"Ji Hyo asked confusely.

          "just do what your mother says" said Mrs. Song who did not want to be denied.

          "but I want to work in another company oemma..."said Ji Hyo trying to negotiate.

          "really? But how is it? Mama's friend already agreed with that, you didn't think to make your mama embarrassed in front of her friend, did you?"said Madam Song rejected Ji Hyo's negotiations firmly.

           "but... aissh... appa..."Ji Hyo is trying to get a help from her father.

          "just do what your mother told you Ji Hyo-ah..."said Mr. Song broke his daughter's hopes. But Ji Hyo didn't give up easily, this time she looked at her sister.

          "Ji Eun-ah..."Ji Hyo called her sister's name in such a sweet way to get her sister's support.

         "wae (why)? The M Fashion agency is a great company, they perfectly matching the talent of you..."Ji Eun said flatly.

                "Why are you all so compact today? Are you all planning something for me?"asked Ji Hyo who felt suspicious looking at her family members one by one but no one answered her question.

           "What is this? What's your plan?"ask Ji Hyo again and look at them all suspiciously.

         "we don't have any plans, just relax Ji Hyo-ah..."said Mrs. Song. The Song family's first daughter still felt suspicious but she chose to give up when no one cared to tell her about it.

           "and also, tomorrow we will go to a Japanese restaurant for a dinner meeting with the Kim family, you should prepare your Self very well Ji Hyo-ah..."added Mrs. Song.

           "the Kim family? who are they?"ask Ji Hyo not understand.

              "didn't oemma ever tell you about Woo Bin who was picking you up but you just left him? We will all have dinner with his family tomorrow " Mrs. Song explained to Ji Hyo.

            "are they appa's business friends ?"Ji Hyo asked.

            "emm... You can take it that way if you want " said Mr. Song feeling a little nervous and trying to hide something but Ji Hyo didn't notice it because she was focusing on the food.

           "if it's all about Appa's work, I don't need to join right?"Ji Hyo asked casually.

            "yak! You're the most important. Of course you should come with us!"Mrs. Song said with great emphasis.

        "why should I come?"ask Ji Hyo again, she feels very uncomfortable to attend a dinner party with people she doesn't know at all.

          "just follow your mother word Ji Hyo-ah, Okay?  "Mr. Song asked calmly.

             Ji Hyo couldn't answer anymore when it was her father who asked her, she finally nodded and agreed to her participation in the family dinner. She didn't realize that she had made he family smile and exchanged glances with each other.

             Today is the first day for Ji Hyo to start her new job at M fashion agency. Ji Eun drove Ji Hyo to her office with her car, actually if Ji Hyo wanted to she could have bought a car from her own money while she was working in the United States but Mrs. Song forbade her daughter to do that, she told Ji Hyo that she didn't want to spend money on something that wasn't so important but somehow Ji Hyo felt that there was a hidden reason behind her mother's reason but she didn't know what the reason was.

              "there is something wrong with oemma, why did she forbid me to spend my own money to buy a new car and make me have to trouble you like this?"Ji Hyo asked her sister who was driving.

          "hahaha... I don't know" said Ji Eun, she looked at Ji Hyo from the rearview mirror and tried to hide her smile.

        "well, is it okay that you drive and pick me up every day like this? Don't you have another job, too?"Ji Hyo asked worried.

            "actually... I think today is the only day that I'll drive you oenni, maybe from tomorrow, oh no ... starting from later when you get home, you will have a new driver " said Ji Eun.

            "What do you mean?"Ji Hyo asked confusely. .

               "ah! We're here!"said Ji Eun eagerly changing  the subject.

            Ji Eun stops her car in front of a big and tall building belonging to the M Fashion Agency. Ji Hyo looks at her sister with a suspicious face, she feels that there is something wrong with Ji Eun's words.

           "why? Don't you want to get out of my car? I also have to go to work " said Ji Eun trying to get her sister to come out immediately. She starts to get nervous because she's worried that Ji Hyo will catch something she's hiding from her.

          "arraseo (alright)... I'm leaving.."Ji Hyo said out of the car.

               "good luck with your new job oeeni, and also, don't forget to have our dinner tonight..."said Ji Eun waving before driving her car.

          When Ji Eun was already out of sight, Ji Hyo entered the building with a relaxed step, she was used to working at a big fashion agency before this so she didn't feel nervous at all and had a great confidence in her heart. She walked straight to the reception.

            "excuse me, I'm Song Ji Hyo, a new designer here..."said Ji Hyo introduced herself.

             "ah well, Song Ji Hyo-ssi, please wait a minute..."the receptionist said, he called someone and said that Ji Hyo had reached there.

            In the range of a minute a beautiful young girl with long wavy brown hair appeared from inside the elevator, she ran with small steps and approached Ji Hyo.

          "Annyeonghaseo sunbaenim (Hello senior) , Lee Yeon-Hee imnida( I'm Lee Yeon Hee), we will work together from now on..." said Yeon Hee greeted Ji Hyo politely, she looked younger than the talented designer. Yeon Hee has eyes that look like cats when she smiles.

           "ne... Annyeonghaseo, Song Ji Hyo imnida..." greet Ji Hyo back.

          "please follow me..."said Yeon Hee who started walking, Ji Hyo followed her from behind and the two entered the elevator.

          "I heard that you are a great designer and worked in a well-known agency in the US for 6 years?"Yeon Hee asked after she pressed the twelve button near the elevator door.

            "ne, I work at K agency " Ji Hyo replied.

          "I'm so excited to be able to work with a great person like you , please teach me how to be a great designer..."Yeon Hee said then bowing.

           "let's work and do our best together..."Ji Hyo said smiling.

           "keunde.... (but) have we met before? You look somehow familiar...." Yeon Hee said.

          "have you ever visited the U.S. before?"Ji Hyo asked.

"no...."Yeon Hee replied.

             "if that's the case, I don't think we've met before, I've lived in America for 10 years...."explained Ji Hyo.

            "ne... I know that, but somehow I feel like I've seen you before, but I don't know where..."said Yeon Hee trying to remember.

         "really?"ask Ji Hyo not sure.

           "ah.. Let's forget it then sunbaenim..."said Yeon Hee smiling.

            "you don't need to be so formal with me, I don't like it when people call me in a formal tone, you can just call me oenni if you want..."Ji Hyo said smiling.

           "really?"Yeon Hee asked excitedly. Ji Hyo nodded and smiled.

           "well, so... welcome here Ji Hyo oennie, if you need help you can ask me..."Yeon Hee said excitedly.

             "ne... gomawo Yeon Hee-ah " said Ji Hyo sincerely.

They finally reached the twelfth floor, Yeon Hee led their footsteps and then entered the room for the designer team. There were six tables in the room and there was one other special room insiden for their boss. When they entered the room, there were four men who seemed busy doing their jobs but when they found out that Ji Hyo was there, they immediately stood up to greet her.

            "annyeonghaseo... Song Ji Hyo imnida..."said Ji Hyo introduced himself.

             "Annyeonghaseo Ji Hyo-ssi, nice to meet you, Yoo Jae suk imnida..."Jae Suk said.

           "Welcome Ji Hyo-ssi, you are a very beautiful woman, Ha Dong Hoon imnida... you can call me Haha..."said Haha.

            "he is a playboy, you have to be careful with him, Ji Suk Jin imnida..."said Suk Jin.

            "eeh.. hyung, I know you actually also think that she is beautiful, stop blushinh when you talk to her..."said the tallest and youngest man among them, Kwang Soo. Everyone laughed out loud as they listened to the man's words.

               "I'm the youngest and the most handsome here, Lee Kwang Soo imnida" said Kwang Soo introducing himself.

          "yakk! What do you mean by the most handsome?"Ji Suk Jin asked and slap Kwang Soo on the head to made the tall man bow .

           "thank you all for welcoming me with such a warm atmosphere , please take care of me..."Ji Hyo said bowing to everyone and they bowed back.

              "hasn't the director arrived yet?"Yeon Hee asked the others.

              "not yet, maybe he will come soon, let's get to work" Jae Suk said later.

             Everyone starts working at their respective desks. The six workbenches were arranged to face each other in a large square making it easy for everyone if they wanted to discuss. Ji Hyo gets a table by the window, and she really likes the place because she can enjoy the view from her chair there.

            Ji Hyo started her work with help from everyone, she was really impressed with their good teamwork. But for some reason, she felt sleepy at that moment. Ji Hyo always starts her day with a glass of americano to stay awake and she didn't have time to drink it this morning.

          "where can I find americano?"Ji Hyo asked Yeon Hee who was sitting next to her.

          "on the first floor, I'll take you there."Yeon Hee said kindly.

           "No, it's Okay, I won't bother you, after all we have a lot of things to do, just continue your work, I'll be back soon" Ji Hyo said standing up and left the room to get her americano.

           Ji Hyo bought an americano in the canteen and immediately drank it a little to make her eyes fresher. He then decides to take her americano to the office to keep her awake while doing her job. She walked towards the elevator and pressed her floor button. After waiting for a few minutes the door opened and she stepped to enter the elevator but suddenly she felt that someone had hit her back and entered the elevator first before her. The Americano she was holding fell down and soaked Ji Hyo's clothes. The woman looked at the Americano that had fallen with a startled and angry face.

 

             "Oh? It's you again?"asked the man standing in front of Ji Hyo and was looking at her. Ji Hyo raised her head and saw a man who looked familiar before her.
