THE FIRST MEET YOU

WORRYING

Sean escorts Filia to the publisher's office and Filia immediately goes to the meeting room. Filia knocked on the door.

"THOK, THOK,THOK"

Filia tried to open the door slowly

Showing his head and then going into the meeting room. Seeing Jeko was explaining in front suddenly Jeko gave Filia an order to sit on an empty chair.

Without thinking Filia directly obeyed Jeko's orders.

In the meeting, there was much talk about a collaboration with a famous director who was looking for a novel that could be lifted his story to become a drama. Jeko introduces several writers who are already sitting in the chair including Filia. 

"Hows it? Is it possible to choose who is a suitable writer in this collaboration?" jeko asked the entire board of directors and the director who was still reading the example of their novel.

"From the story of this novel, it seems very interesting. It seems like the writer is good at bringing the feelings of all his readers, If we make a drama from this novel it must be good!" the opinion of the director who is reading the novel Filia.

"Are we not going to make another novel?" Jeko asked the director.

"No need to Je, at first it was so but actually I just need a reference novel from the author to be adopted into a drama. Because I only have five months to work on this novel. So I had to quickly pick a novel!" the director replied that he was still flipping through the pages of the Novel.

"So so? Alright now have you decided to choose?" ask Jeko curiously.

"I'm taking a novel by Filia. I promise I will give you a pretty big royalty when this drama successfully attracts drama lovers." explained the director.

'Was mine chosen? Grand royalties? Very tempting.' Philia smiled hearing that.

Jeko glanced at Filia who was smiling so happily.

'I had expected that he would be very happy to hear this.' Jeko inner.

"Alright, we have finished deciding to take the novel by Filia. Besides Philia, other writers can get out of this room!" jeko's orders.

All the writers followed and left the room.

Inside the meeting room they seriously discussed the contents of Novel and signed a cooperation contract. 

"Thank you for choosing a novel from our office!" jeko said shaking the director's hand.

"No need to thank Je, I know the publisher office you lead must have quality writers. I'm waiting for Filia to come to my office and we can discuss more about this novel and you have to help me finish this drama!" the director said while shaking Jeko's hand as well.

"I'll try my best!" Jeko smiled as she bowed to pay her respects.

Filia bowed her body.

"All right, I'm leaving!" The director said goodbye.

Now inside the room were just the two of them.

"Sir Jeko. I'm Excuse me!" Philia turned and walked towards the door.

Jeko suddenly called out to him.

"The phil! Can we talk to you for a second!" Jeko managed to stop Filia's steps.

Filia still hasn't turned around she just stopped.

'Why won't Jeko just let me go? I'm lazy to talk to him.' Filia kept grumbling in her heart.

Filia is still in place. Jeko stepped out to approach Filia who only stopped without turning around.

'Oh God. Why are my feet freezing?' Philia failed to move her steps.

Jeko managed to stand in front of Filia and clapped her hands to just close the curtains in the room.

The curtain in the room was closed making Filia confused what to do?

"Sorry sir, I have to go home! Looks like the talk about work is over." Filia tried to avoid Jeko and passed Jeko who was in front of her.

Jeko manages to grab Filia's hand and pulls her back to face her.

Jeko held both of Philia's shoulders.

"Why do you seem to avoid me?You are not as cheerful as usual. I told you not to call me, sir, just call me Jeko. You're so weird these days?" asked Jeko a little emotion.

"It looks like today, I have a show sir!" Filia tried to pass Jeko again and removed Jeko's hands from her shoulders.

Jeko manages to pull Filia back in front of him.

"Don't switch the conversation!" Jeko pulled Filia into his arms.

She stroked Filia's hair slowly.

Filia wriggled without saying then when she managed to slap Jeko. 

Jeko was very surprised by Filia's treatment.

'Why did I slap him?' Philia felt guilty because she was not aware of what she was doing.

Jeko was still confused by what Filia was doing.

'Why did he slap me?' Jeko felt a pain in her right cheek.

Without saying anything, Filia went past Jeko.

After getting out of the room. Filia kept looking at her hand that had just slapped Jeko.

This time Jeko looks a little frustrated.

'Is that as bad as I do? Until he hates me and keeps away from me? Why do I always fail in the world of love?' Jeko hit the table in the meeting room.

Jeko exited the room very angry and emotional. The closed door surprised all employees in front of the meeting room.

"DURRY!!"

Jeko returned to her room and closed the room with the same attitude. The employee was surprised again because it happened to be the meeting room next to Jeko's room.

"God! What happened to Jeko sir? I last saw Filia coming out of the room in a hurry and then Mr. Jeko came out in anger. Is something going on between the two of them?" yerin asked one of the employees in front of Jeko's room.

"I suspect it seems that this is only the business of the Director and a writer. Won't make Mr Jeko that angry? They look like a couple fighting" Bon-hwa said

Everyone complied and went back to work.

Jeko closed the curtains of her room and finished her work. While working over and over again Filia's shadow slaps Jeko continues to haunt her. Until nightfall, Jeko is still trying to finish her work. All the employees have come home to themselves who are there. Jeko was frustrated with her current state, the image of Filia slapping herself was always imagined in her brain. He hated himself. 

Jeko retrieves a bottle of wine stored in the cupboard in his office. Totally feeling that there was no solution anymore, Jeko tried to drink as much alcohol as she could. This time Jeko had finished a bottle and already looked drunk but still picked up a bottle of wine from his office closet again. Drink it again and again until he has completely staggered.

Trying to subconsciously take the hanphonenya and call Yul.

"Hello Je." replied Yul who did not hear any sound there.

"Je!!" Call Yul more and more worried.

Yul already knew if Jeko called him and did not make a sound, most likely Jeko was heavily drunk. Yul tracks down Jeko's whereabouts then arrives in front of Jeko's office.

"Is he really drunk in the office? Je's right!" Yul runs into Jeko's room.

 Seeing that Jeko was still drinking from the glass, Yul immediately stopped him and took the glass from Jeko's hand.

"Yul, don't take the glass!! I can't drink." Jeko laughed indistinctly.

"I've guessed he's drunk. Indeed I shouldn't have consented when he prepared some bottles of wine in his office. Surely he'll spend it alone when stressed." Yul turns Jeko to his car.

"Where am I going, Yul? We're going to the bar, right? I still want to drink!" Jeko continued to say those words many times but as usual Yul did not press.

Jeko began to unconscious and fell asleep.

"Je, what exactly is it?" yul asks while driving to drive Jeko home.

Suddenly Jeko delirious.

"Fil, why did you slap me? Why do you hate me so much?why?"Jeko shed tears in her sleep.

'He hasn't been drunk for a long time because of a woman. He was only drunk when his mother died when Jeko was still in High School. After that he rarely sipped alcohol again only for a woman even a breakup would never get drunk. At most just get angry and invite me to play archery. When I took him to the bar, he only drank one slof. It seems Jeko is really in love with Filia.' murmured Yul added speed while driving.

Arrive at Jeko's house.

Yul is helped by the security guard to get Jeko to his room. As usual Jeko immediately hugged the bolster and slept. Yul covers her and sits next to Jeko.

'Looks like I have to do something for Jeko. I know he must have had too many thoughts up to this point. But what should I do?' Yul sighed.

Yul opens his phone and suddenly it comes to his mind to copy Filia's phone number on Jeko's phone. Yul secretly opens Jeko's phone by borrowing Jeko's index finger to unlock it.

Yul looked slowly and found the name of Philia.

Then the number is saved and Yul leaves Jeko.

***

It has been almost a week Jeko did not go to work, all his work was devoted to the head secretary. Then Filia suddenly sauntered into Jeko's room to hand over her Novel material. When she opened the door, Filia was shocked.

'Why is the room empty!'

From behind Filia, the secretary's head patted her on the shoulder which made Filia surprised.

"Geez!" Filia turned around still holding her thumping chest in surprise.

"Sorry Fil, surprise you! Since the meeting on that day the next day Mr. Jeko took a leave of absence and did not enter work until today, it has been almost a week" explained the head of the Secretary.

'Jeko why is it? Did he relapse?' Filia was a little worried.

"According to OB the next morning in this room. Screaming of alcoholic drinks seems like Jeko sir drank it before he took his leave.Do you want to leave the Materinya to me?" add the chief secretary.

Filia grew worried, she thought about the moment she slapped Jeko in the face.

"No, thanks for the info" said Filia still glued to the spot.

The chief secretary left Filia. Repeatedly Filia called Jeko but her hanphonenya was inactive.

'Why is he making me worry more?' Filia walked out of the room and walked to her car.

On the way, Filia confused to go home or go to Jeko's house?

'Why does it feel like I want to go to Jeko's house but I also want to go home?' Filia is confused herself.

Until finally Filia went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables, meat and fruit.

'Why do I want to shop? Is Jeko sick? Why am I worried? Where have I followed my heart? Than I can't sleep!' Filia confused herself even though she still chose to shop.

After finishing shopping so much.Filia immediately tancap gas to go to Jeko's house.

That morning the atmosphere of Jeko's house was very quiet, only a few servants were at home.

"Sorry, can anyone help?" said one of the servants in the house.

"I'm Filia, I'm a writer. I heard that Mr. Jeko did not enter the office, what is it with Mr. Jeko?" philia was still at the door.

"Oh Miss Filia? Mr. Jeko always delirious of your name these days. Actually Seven days ago Mr. Jeko reached the house drunk on delivery by Mr. Yul. It has been a long time that Mr. Jeko was not drunk as much as that time, the next day Mr. still felt the influence but absolutely did not want to eat and looked very uninspired. Then applying for leave, but after three days his body was hot and his skin was blistered it seemed like Mr.'s allergy was relapsing. "the servant explained to Filia.

"Can I go see him? I brought you a lot of groceries can you take her to the kitchen? I'll try to take care of him!" obviously the real Filia was very worried.

Filia put all the luggage on the floor and immediately went to Jeko's room, which was shown by the servant.

'Why did he relapse when I didn't? Why is his reaction so bad?It's true that I think he's sick.'

Filia opened Jeko's room door. Saw him lying limp with an infusion attached to his chest. Filia was surprised when she was also attached to a heart detection device. The thump of the device made Filia even more worried. Jeko was still covered with a blanket covering part of her body. Slowly Filia's footsteps approached Jeko, looked at her for a moment and then touched her very hot forehead. Filia clasped Jeko's hand and sat on the floor.

'I was expecting you to be sick. I don't know if what I'm doing is right or not, but my heart wants to be with you and always worried. Jeko hang on I'm sure you'll get well!' Filia took off her grip and took a compress in the kitchen.

When he was in the kitchen the servant met Philia again.

"Miss just called Jeko's personal doctor to make sure that you're in good health and I told her that she's here. The doctor told me to stay here until Jeko recovered, she said, no need to worry. Jeko more quickly and severely relapsed his allergy as well because of alcohol, Jeko could not drink much because it triggered his phobia. The doctor said he had been given antibiotics as usual but it did not work, if the lady deigned to touch his hand often it might relieve his fever. The doctor also said that the possibility of the lady will also have a fever but if she touches Jeko's hand often it is less likely to recur in the near future." explained the maid conveyed a message so long doctors.

"Sorry I'm confused what to call you?" philia asked as she prepared a towel and hot water in the basin.

"Call me aunt Yen. I've been Mr. Jeko's servant since I was a child." 

"Thank you, for the message from the doctor. I'll do it!" said Filia who was ready with a basin and towel to compress Jeko.
