Chapter 66 I’ll always be grateful to her
In the afternoon during the lunch break Jaemin went to the staff's cafeteria and looked for Da-jung. As he saw her having the lunch at one of the table chair along with her friends, he went near to her table. Da-jung was startled and got down from her place, "sir, do you want anything?"
Jaemin nodded his head, and mustered up his courage to speak with her, "yes, I would like to talk to you in private for a while, so after having your lunch meet me at the poolside area, I'll be waiting for you." He said and walked out from that place.
Da-jung friends who are sitting next to her teased her, "there is something going on between you two."
Da-jung replied them, "Nothing is going on between us, stop imaging things, and have your food." She had few more spoons of her food and stood down from her chair before finish eating her food completely. She excused herself from her friends and went to meet Jaemin on the poolside of the hotel.
When she reached the poolside area she looked around for him. As she saw him sitting down at one of the edges of the pool lounge chairs, she went near to him and cleared her throat, ahem…ahem purposely to grab his attention. He looked at her and got down from the pool lounge chair, "you came," he said and nervously ran his fingers through his hair.
Da-jung was looked as nervous as he was. She gazed down on the floor and couldn't guess why he asked her to meet him. As he called her using her name, 'Da-jung' she looked at him nervously.
"I don't know how to start, but let me tell it to you straight away, the reason I asked you to meet me in private is because," he said and paused for a few seconds, he looked straight into her eyes. "I have been interested in you since the day I saw you when my boss and I was transferred to this branch last year. I would like to know more about you; therefore will you go out with me?"
Da-jung heart was in her mouth, she already knew that he was interested in her, and her friends used to tease her a lot because of the way he looked at her. Moreover, she has been waiting for this moment for a long and finally today it has happened. She nodded her head with acceptance.
Jaemin gave her a smile, "thank you so much for accepting to go out with me," he said and asked her contact number.
Da-jung was moved as he asked her contact number because, if he would have thought he would have got her contact numbers in other ways by using his influence, but he didn't do anything like that. Therefore, she shared her contact number with him.
After sharing their contact number with one another, both of them went to carry-on their official works.
Jaemin happily went to meet Young-soo in his office room and expressed the happy news to him.
Young-soo hugged him, "wow hyung, now I'm feeling so happy. Later, let me talk to Inha and if she agrees to go out with me then let's go out on double date."
Jaemin broke the hug and nodded his head with a smile.
Hence, Young-soo has got lots of works to do in his office; he decided to contact Inha once he reaches home at the night.
During the night time before Young-soo goes to bed he made a call to Inha's contact number.
Inha was surprised to get a call from Young-soo, she answered his call soon in a few rings and asked him, "what a surprise, you just contacted me to speak to me."
Young-soo: "I have some important matter to discuss with you that's why I contacted you, otherwise why am I going to contact you."
Inha: "Stop teasing me, Young-soo and tell me what the matter is?"
Young-soo laughed at her reply, "The reason I called you is I want to know whether you're free at this weekend or not?"
Inha: "Yes, I'm free, but why are you asking about my schedule?"
Young-soo: "Jaemin hyung, is going out with his girlfriend and he was bit nervous since it was his first time to take his woman out for a date. I have planned to help him, if you're willing to come let's accompany them on this weekend."
Inha was surprised and she never imagined that this day would come in her life; moreover Young-soo was her long-term crush. "Young-soo, it took you so many years to ask me to go out with you? She asked and agreed to go out with him.
As she asked him such things Young-soo felt like he wanted to clarify about a thing with her, "listen Inha, I'm not asking you to go out with me, we are just going to accompany Jaemin hyung and his woman. Don't assume that I was interested in you and that's why I ask you to do this. You know about me very well that I always treat you as one of my friends, so don't get confused between friendship and love."
Inha: "Yeah, I can understand that. Even I'm just having a crush on you, so I'll not cross my lines. And I'm not immature woman like your ex-wife. I know about you so don't worry, let's just enjoy together on this weekend."
Young-soo was annoyed as she involves Eunbi in this matter for an unnecessary reason, "Inha for your kind information I would like to say that, Eunbi is not an immature woman as you're thinking. She may have failed to understand my love but she is not an immature woman. She is such a caring woman; you don't know how she took care of me, she's helped me to overcome form my traumatic life which I have been holding it by myself since my childhood. I may have started to ignore her after the divorce but I'll always be grateful to her."
Inha could understand him that how much he respects Eunbi still now even after the divorce. "I'm sorry Young-soo, for saying such words about her without properly knowing what has happened between you two."
Young-soo checked the time of his phone and it reads 11:30 pm, therefore he decided to hang-up the call with her and go to sleep, "that's ok Inha, you don't need to apologize to me, and you just told me what you have thought in your mind. Anyways, lets meet on this weekend, now good-night, and bye…bye," he said and hung-up the call. He kept his phone on the bedside table, lied down properly on the bed, covered his body with the help of the comforter, and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
