“Tan tan tana...Tan tan tana” Hyunjoong hummed the wedding march loudly as he opened the door of his house. He was so drunk that he cannot even key in the right code on the lock. After several attempts and still the door won’t open, he just banged his fist and shouted...



“Yah, you door! Open! I command you!! I own you and you shouldn’t do this to me!” He continue hitting it and he almost stumbled when the door suddenly open.


“Mr Kim?!” Hwangbo asked in surprise.


“Yah! Hyejungssi. What are you doing here?” He asked with a smile. He then tried to step forward but again he almost stumbled. Hyejung assisted him but he just removed her hand on his arms. She just followed him as he made his way inside the house. He then slumped on the couch as soon as he reached it. Hyejung went to the kitchen to get a glass of warm water.


“What are you doing here, Hyejungssi?” he asked with eyes closed when Hyejung handed him the water.


“Sir, I’m trying to finish the final touches of your house. I know it’s late but I want everything ready when you move in. I’ll be heading home soon.” Hyejung explained.


“It’s ok, Hyejungssi. It’s better if you crash in one of the rooms here. It’s dangerous to go home at this hour.” Hyunjoong replied. When he finished drinking the water, he stood up and walk towards one of the rooms.


Hyejung just watched him on his way. She tried to help him out when he stood up but he just pushed her. He was swaying and stumbled several times but she just let him be.


“I wonder what’s wrong with him. First time for me to see him drunk. Aissh!” and she head on to the room she was decorating before Hyunjoong arrived.


Hwangbo Hyejung is a rising interior designer. She started her business just a year ago but she has been commissioned by a lot of artist. Her latest project is Hyunjoong’s 3 storey-loft style house. She was given only four months to finish this in time for Hyunjoong and his soon to be wife’s wedding scheduled this June. Hyunjoong just gave her the overall theme for the house but she’ll be in charge of all the other details. Money was never an issue, whenever Hyejung showed him the design and estimation; he’ll just issue cheque so she can proceed. Now it’s almost on its last phase, just some few minor details and decors to place and the house will be ready. She personally takes charge in the final touches, ensuring that this will be a success and that the couple will love the new house.


It was around 3am when Hyejung was awaken by the noise from the kitchen. She grabbed her jacket and put it on hurriedly. Thinking that it might be burglars, she grabbed one of the bronze table top statues and tip toed her way out of the room. She reached the kitchen area, when he saw a man’s back. She again tiptoed towards him, armed with the statue and just one wrong move, she’ll hit him hard. When she was just a foot away from him, only then was she able to realize that it was no other than Hyunjoong. He was sitting still, a glass of vodka on his hand while staring into the walls. Hyejung put down the statue on a nearby desk and gently approached him.


“ Mr.Kim, is there something wrong?” she asked gently so as not to startle him.


“Hyejungssi! I’m sorry. Did I wake you up? He asked. His eyes are now half close, his words slurred. He’s just way too drunk. “Care for a drink?” he asked again.


Hyejung hesitantly walked towards him and took the seat facing him. He gives her a shot and she just drinks it straight.


“Mr. Kim, I don’t mean to be nosy but, what happened?” She asked after taking the drink.


“Hyejungssi, how long have you known me personally?” He just answered with another question.


“Around four months. “She simply replied.


“Just call me by my first name. You know I’m getting married next week, right? “Hyunjoong enquired.


“Yes, Hyunjoongssi. That’s why I’m doing all my best to finish your house within the deadline. Don’t worry; everything will be ready when you move in.” Hyejung assured him and smiled.


“Well, Hyejungssi, you don’t need to hurry. The wedding ‘s cancelled.” He stated while gripping the glass so hard.


Hyejung, fearing that the glass might break and hurt him in the process, tried to take it from him. Hyunjoong didn’t let go but instead calmly place it in the counter. Hyejung remained speechless. After sometime, Hyunjoong spoke again.


“She was called to perform abroad and this time it’s gonna be a two year contract. It was so easy for her to call of f the wedding. She just told me that it’s been her dream to be in Broadway. How can I keep her from it.” He explained calmly but you can see the hurt in his eyes.


“But, can you just wait for her.?Two years will pass quickly. Before you knew it, she’ll be back.” Hyejung tried to appease him.


“She told me not to wait for her. She’s looking at great opportunities for her and she’ll definitely regret it if she’ll let it pass by getting married.” Hyunjoong replied.


“What about all the preparation? Everything’s ready now.” Hyejung uttered with a sigh.


“She said she’ll handle everything before she leave. She said it’s the only thing she can do for me. Her company’s going to have a press conference the day after tomorrow. “Hyunjoong replied and gave her another shot of vodka.


She took and it and said “So what’s your plan? How are you feeling? Well, that’s too dumb to ask right?”


“I really don’t have any plan but all I want is to get away from everything. Maybe I’ll just stay here for a couple of days or so. No one knows that I own this place. I just want to be alone.” He replied.

“Okay. Then I’ll go home first thing tomorrow. Anyways, only one room is left for me to finish and the rest is okay. I’ll just come back when you say so.” Hyejung stood up to leave. “I’ll go ahead and sleep so I can leave early, Hyunjongssi. Don’t worry I won’t tell a soul that you’re here.” She added with a smile and placed her hand on his shoulder.


She was only a couple of steps away when she heard him call her…


“ Hyejungssi!” then he paused, took a big sigh and said. “Can you just stay while I’m here?”
