Jun called Ji An. Again, her phone was not answered. It had been the fifth times. He couldn't wait any longer. Jun went down from his penthouse to the car park and immediately took off towards the exit when suddenly a small figure running towards his car and made him break to avoid hitting the person. He angrily slammed his door, wanted to scold the person for the dangerous act.
"Miss, do you know how dangerous it is? Don't jump in the middle like that!"
"Huff.. huff.. I... huff.. huff.. know.." The girl in front of her had trouble breathing. Her shoulder was heaving heavily and both her hands were on top of her knees, supporting her petite figure. Her stance made her long hair covering all her face, it looked quite scary. Luckily it was still in the morning. 'Eh, how come he felt like had this familiar feeling again? Is it Song Ji An?'
Without asking Jun pulled the girl straight and Song Ji An was there, still catching her breath.
"You?! Do you know how dangerous it is?" Jun wanted to strangle her. Although he felt relieved that Ji An did not disappear like she did last time.
"But you are leaving soon! This is the only way to stop your car. Do you expect me to walk there, or take my own transport? Of course not. I am not even sure I can claim it to you."
"Huh? Now then you are blaming me. Who was coming late? Without picking any phone calls!"
"You called? I didn't hear anything." Ji An took her phone out from her pocket and saw 5 missed calls from Jun. She wanted to delete the history but unfortunately Jun used his height to his advantage and saw his missed call clearly displayed on her phone.
"Don't you dare play punk on me! Try to delete the history and pretend I never called? Do you think my phone does not have any history?"
Ji An awkwardly laughed, she didn't expect Jun to outsmart her that fast. "Okay, I am sorry, my dear actor. Can we go now? I drive for you. You just sit down and relax." Both of them had finally back seated inside the car. Ji An passed Jun a thermoflask when Jun had buckled up nicely beside her.
"What's this?"
"Your black coffee. Exactly 250ml." Ji An drove away while Jun was touched by her attentiveness. Ji An kept driving following the GPS, but she kept looking around her.
"Ya, Lee Jun. Is your GPS spoiled? I am not familiar with this area. Aren't you suppose to go for filming today?" Ji An glanced around at the unfamiliar neighborhood around her. There are a lot of expensive shops she never saw before.
"Last minute changes. President Song invited us for brunch, then we will go to filming site after that."
"President Song? That handsome president on drama dinner party?" Jun was irked by Ji An's comment.
"Oi, monkey. Do you have problems with your eyes? I am more handsome. How could you say someone else is handsome in front of me? As my manager, you should endorse me."
Ji An pouted. Her expression did not escape from Jun's careful eyes,"What? You disagree?"
"Nah, just think you are noisy. Can you don't destroy my wonderful morning with your nag? Even the grandma besides my house did not nag me as much." Jun was offended as Ji An now comparing him to a next door grandma and he kept his silence till they reach their destination. It was a cafe located at Itaewon, opened by Australian couple who decided to retire in Korea. Both couple had fallen in love with Seoul, the moment they went there for holiday. They also saw the potential of brunch cafe in Seoul especially for young people who enjoyed western food.
Both Ji An and Jun was greeted by the owner itself and they personally brought inside. Even though they are not local, they had tried to communicate with Korean with heavily laden accent. But it was something Ji An really appreciated and proud of. Her culture could attract foreigners. Ji An conversed well with the owner, sometimes mixed her sentences between English and Korean.
"You can speak English?" Jun was surprised to know that Ji An could speak English pretty well.
"I took English conversational lesson before. In case I need to use this skill for interview or broadcasting. How is my English? Good?" Ji An looked at Jun, hoping to be praised.
"En, not bad." Jun did praise her.
"Did you just praise me? Seriously? Can repeat again? I didn't hear properly." Ji An was jumping around him, hoping to be praised once again. Her action was suddenly stopped when they noticed President Song had been seated there and waited for both of them.
"Good morning. Manager Song looks energetic today." He smiled, hinting that he saw Ji An childish action around Jun.
Ji An cheek reddened by his comment and she shyly replied,"I am sorry for my earlier action. I don't expect you will see it."
"It's cute. You can do more in front of me in the future. I don't mind." He winked towards Ji An.
'What is just happening? Did these two just flirt in front of me? Damn you, Song Ji An. What's with your shy and fluttery attitude? Where is your fierceness against me?' Jun felt like third wheel during the brunch. The invitation was supposed to be for him, although it was briefly mentioned to bring his manager if possible. Now it looked like a date between Ji An and President Song, while he was forced to tag along together with both of them.
When Ji An left her seat towards washroom, President Song immediately brought up the topic,"I am sorry, if it seems we are neglecting you. I hope you understand."
"What should I understand?" Jun challenged him back.
Taking the challenge,"I will not beat around the bush. What if I say I am interested with your manager? Will you allow me to pursue her?" President Song crossed his leg on top of the other, looking so authoritative, like a king.
Jun clenched his hands, angered by his reply,"You..." At that moment, Ji An was back from the toilet.
"Sorry, did I miss out anything?" Ji An innocently asking.
"Monkey, let's go." Jun stood up and immediately grabbed Ji An's hands to go.
"Eh, why? We haven't even finished our meal." Ji An was confused suddenly being dragged out by Jun. Jun did not reply and drove off immediately.
Ji An's phone rang, notified her of incoming text message. It was from unfamiliar number.
[XXXX: Thank you for the brunch. Drive safe!]
[Ji An: President Song?]
[XXXX: Yes]
[Ji An: I should be the one thanking instead. Thank you for the invitation. Sorry for leaving so abruptly,]
Jun saw Ji An kept texting nonstop,"Who are you replying?"
"President Song."
"Don't get too close with him."
"Why?"
'Yeah, Lee Jun. Why? Why you dislike President Song so much?' Jun took a glance at Ji An who had finished replying her message and now turning on the radio inside car. Her fair skin looked glowing today without any make-up. Her lips was glossy from her lip balm, her straight hair framed her face nicely. Her expression when she finally found her favorite radio channel and hummed along the tune.
Jun's heart was beating by what he saw. 'It can't be. I like Song Ji An?'
