2. The day drags by at a snail's pace...
3. As I anticipate my evening with jiyeon.
4. My brother breaks up the afternoon by surprising me with lunch.
5. Things at work have been so busy that I've been pushing off our weekly lunch date.
6. Today he takes no chances.. Bursting into my office with my assistant trailing behind him apologetically.
7. "He just barged in, ma'am."
8. My assistant, beom seok, is a bit of a nerdy and frail type..
9. And I got the sense he's overwhelmed in the presence of my brother.
10. "It's okay, beom seok."
11. But he's the best assistant I've ever had so I won't admonish him for the interruption.
12. "You've gotta eat."
13. King says, holding up a bag of takeout from one of my favorite restaurants.
14. "And I need an update on what's going on with sweet jiyeon. And our sensei aoi"
15. He had flown to jiyeon's trip with me on a whim, so perhaps I did owe him an update.
16. "Is there a spicy salmon roll in that bag?"
17. He nods and begins removing the containers of food.
18. "So?"
19. "Jiyeon's moved back in."
20. "It's official, she's my girlfriend."
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "W..what?"
2. "Jiyeon is my girlfriend."
3. "Hell yeah!"
4. King's wide smile lights up his entire face.
5. "Noona you have to tell me everything about it!"
6. "I'm so happy for you oh my god, I can't believe it!"
7. He's always worn his emotions directly on his sleeve.
8. It's both a blessing and curse.
9. His gregarious personality often helps him win over clients..
10. ..but can be a hindrance when he's negotiating big deals.
11. You can see every fleeting thought passing through his brain.
12. "And aoi-sensei?"
13. "Actually I'm not sure..."
14. "She flew back to japan due family business..."
15. "And what about mina?"
16. My brother has been riding me for years about divorcing her.
17. "I signed the papers."
18. "Holy fucking shit!"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "We need some goddamn champagne up in this bitch."
2. "Sit down, king."
3. I grumble, but am unable to hide the crooked smile lifting one corner of my mouth.
4. "Yeah, yeah, I know. It's about time."
5. "I'm so glad jiyeon's in your life."
6. It's obvious he attributes her presence in my life to this change.
7. And of course, he's right.
8. "We need to celebrate, noona. Seriously."
9. "It's not a horrible idea."
10. "A big bash to mark your freedom from the mega bitch."
11. "Drop it, boy. I've signed the papers and sent them over to my lawyer."
12. "That's celebration enough."
13. "No need to celebrate the robbery my bank account is getting just to pay her to go away."
14. At the lull in conversation..
15. My mind automatically wanders to jiyeon..
16. And what will happen tonight when I get home.
