Chapter 22
“I want Mr. Kim and
Ms Hwangbo to promote Choi Furnitures here in Hongkong.” Mrs Song uttered with
conviction.
Hyunjoong and
Hwangbo was stunned and good thing Atty.Park was able to react quickly.
“Mrs.Song, I’ll
discuss this with Mr.Kim and Ms.Hwangbo since they also need to check this with
their management.
“Mrs.Song, Hyejung
and I will talk it over. We’ll inform Atty.Park once we decide on this
matter.”Hyunjoong added.
“I hope it’ll not
take long. I’m really interested in this business and I know getting you two as
endorsers will really make a big difference.” Mrs. Song replied.
“We’ll let you know
immediately.”Hyejung confirmed.
With that the
couple excused themselves and went back to their table. Atty Park and the Songs
continue with the dinner as well. After about thirty minutes the lawyer went to
their table to bid goodbye.
“Baby, what do you
think? Should we agree with Mrs. Song’s request?” Hyunjoong asked as they were
on their way home.
“It’s no big deal
for me babe. I don’t have any endorsement or contract after Muhan Girls ended.
It’s also convenient for me if we have to shoot here. It’s you we have to think
of. I’m not sure if Key east will agree with this specially if we have to be
together.” Hyejung replied.
“I’ll check with
Atty Park if he can show us the offer for the Songs so I can discuss it with
Yong Joon Hyung as soon as I arrived in Korea.”Hyunjoong advised.
“Want me to call
him now babe?” Hyejung offered.
“I’ll do it. Can I
borrow your phone, baby?” Hyunjoong asked and she handed the phone to him. His
call was immediately answered by Atty Park he informed that he will just see
them the next day.
As soon as they
arrived at Hyejung’s apartment, Hyunjoong pulled her for an embrace.
“I miss you so
much, baby.” He uttered and pepper kissed Hyejung’s face.
“I miss you too,
love. Come on, let me just take a shower so we can sleep, okay.”Hyejung replied
ending the kiss.
“Are we just going
to sleep?” Hyunjoong jibed as he snaked his arms on her waist.
“If that what you want,
babe. But if you have other things in mind, be a good boy and wait for me in
our room.” She answered with a grin.
Hyunjoong grab her
arm and together they head to the bedroom. He then gently pushed Hyejung
towards the restroom and then took a seat on the bed
“Hurry up, baby.
I’ll wait for you.” Hyunjoong replied with a grin.
Hyejung chuckled
before closing the restroom’s door for a quick shower.
The next day,
Hyejung woke up with Hyunjoong’s gentle breathing on her neck. He was spooned
behind her- with arm resting on her waist and a leg draped on top of hers. She
cautiously turned to face him and smiled to see him still sleeping peacefully.
Hyejung lightly run her finger on his nose which made Hyunjoong stir a bit. Then
she dropped a peck on his lips, extricates his arm and leg from her and then
climbed off the bed. She shivered as the cold wind touched her bare body so she
immediately wrapped
herself in a terry robe before heading to the shower.
At around nine in
the morning Hyunjoong came out of the bedroom all fresh from shower. Hyejung
was preparing their breakfast so he walked towards her and gave her a morning
kiss.
“Good morning,
babe. You’re just in time for breakfast. I was about to wake you up when you
came out.” Hyejung greeted with a smile.
“Good morning baby.
Sorry I woke up late. You wore me out last night.” Hyunjoong joked and Hyejung
gently swat his arms.
“Babe, Atty.Park
called about ten minutes ago. He’ll be dropping by at around eleven. Do you
still wanna go out or we’ll just rest here and wait for him?” Hyejung enquired.
“Let’s just stay
here, baby. I’ll be going home tonight so let’s just rest.” Hyunjoong
answered.
The two enjoyed
their breakfast and after cleaning up they just decided to watch a movie. They
cuddled on the couch and watched-Thor.
As expected
Atty.Myungsoo Park arrived at around eleven in the morning. Hyejung ushered him
in and let him took a seat.
“ Atty.Park, good
morning. Sorry for calling you immediately. You see, I’m going back tonight in
Korea and I would like to know the offer we have for the Songs.” Hyunjoong
started the discussion.
“Its okay, Hyunjoong-ssi.
I actually would like to apologize for putting you in difficult situation. You
see, Uncle Mirin and I offered this venture with the Songs two years ago.But
since Uncle became sick and the Songs travelled to US; the plan was put on
hold. When I called them this year, they express their interest in the business
so I came here again. Uncle Mirin and I believe that once we close this deal
for Hong Kong, it’ll be easier for us to export in other Asian countries too.
Here’s a copy of the offer we have for them.” Myungsoo explained.
“So this deal is
very important. I can talk to my manager and agency. I’m sure there will be no
conflict. As of now, we just have to talk to Hyunjoong’s management team.”
Hyejung said.
“I’ll explain to my
manager. I’m sure we can work things out.” Hyunjoong replied.
“I’m really sorry
for involving you in this. If just incase your agency will not allow, I’ll try
to talk to the Songs’. We’ll check other options.” Myungsoo offered.
“Choi Galleries is
also important to us. We also want to give back to Mirin-ssi for everything he
has given us. I’ll do my best to get the approval from my agency.” Hyunjoong
countered.
“Thank you,
Hyunjoon-ssi, Hyejung-ssi. I know Uncle Mirin will be glad if we really close
this deal. Let me know if you need any help. I’ll leave for now.” And he stood
up to leave.
“We’ll call you as
soon as possible, Myungsoo-ssi. Take care on your way.” Hyejung bid goodbye and
send him to the door.
“Baby, you realize
that we might need to announce that we’re together once we accept this offer,
right?” Hyunjoong asked as Hyejung settled beside him.
“Yes.” Hyejung
quipped.
“Are you okay with
it, baby? I mean you’ve been telling me to just keep it as a secret for the
meantime.” He tried to confirm.
“Yes. I’m good with
it. As you said to Myungsoo-ssi, this is one way of giving back to Mirin-ssi.
He has given us a lot- and most especially he has paved the way for us to be
together again. “Hyejung explained.
Hyunjoong pulled
her in his embrace and whispered.
“I’ll talk to my
agency baby. I really wish we can get their approval. I will also tell them
that we will announce about our relationship.”
“I’m sorry if I
can’t be there to support you.” Hyejung uttered.
“It’s okay, baby.
Don’t worry too much. I’ll call you as soon as I get their decision. I know
it’ll be favorable for us.” He replied.
Hyejung snuggled to
him and they enjoy the rest of the day before Hyunjoong’s flight back to Korea.
It was already
Wednesday evening when Hyunjoong finally got the chance to call Hyejung. He’s
been very busy the past two days but he was able to talk to Key East about the
offer for Choi Galleries. The company is against it- stating that it can hamper
the success of Hyunjoong’s career. If people will link him to Hwangbo, his fans
might give up and leave him. He immediately called Hwangbo and let her know of
the company’s decision.
“Hi Baby. How are
you?” He greeted as soon as Hyejung picked up the call.
“I’m okay babe.
Also busy with school. How about you?” Hyejung replied.
“I’m good. Baby, I
already got my agency’s approval.” He said.
“That’s great babe!
But why do you sound unhappy?” She enquired nervously.
“Baby, there’s a
provision in my agreement with Key East. They only agreed with endorsing Choi
Gallery but we need to put on hold our plans for coming out in public.”
Hyunjoong explained.
Hyejung took a deep
sigh before replying.
“Babe, don’t worry.
I’m okay with it. And they didn’t say that we cannot come out, they just said
to put it on hold. Maybe in a couple of months, they will agree to it.” Hyejung
tried to cheer him up.
“But it seems like
I’m letting you down baby. I really tried. They told me that they will just check if
my fans will accept us. If our endorsement will not affect my career, then we
can announce it.” he advised feeling very resigned.
“Don’t worry babe.
I understand. I know you’ve done your best. Let’s just pray that we’ll get good
feedback with this endorsement.” She replied
“I love you,
Hyejung-ah. I miss you.” Hyunjoong whispered.
“I love you too;
babe.I’ll see you on Saturday. I’m flying back home.” Hyejung advised.
“Baby, my manager
and I will be there in Hong Kong on Friday for the contract signing. Tell Atty.
Park to ready all the documents and inform the Songs for contract signing on Saturday if possible.” He countered
“Okay, babe. I’ll
just stay here then. I’ll see you on Friday night. I love you babe.” And
Hyejung bid goodbye.
After they hung up,
Hyejung called Atty. Park to inform him of their decision. On Hyejung’s part,
her manager already agreed with the endorsement and will just fly to Hong Kong
for the contract signing. She called him as well as agreed for meet up on
Saturday.
The next day,
Hyejung received a call from Atty Park asking if she can meet him in a café
since he need to check some details with her. They agreed to meet up after her
class and after checking the documents Atty Park send her to her apartment.
It was Friday
morning when Hyunjoong was getting ready for his flight when his manager came
rushing with a newspaper in his hand. He crumpled the paper when he saw the
picture- Hyejung and Myungsoo coming out of the café with the headline…
“Is he Hwangbo’s
current man?”
