The Red String Between Us
Episode 19's
"Youra?" Call Hyunshik.
"ah! W-what's up?" Ask surprised.
"Let's go, "Take it.
"Hm," I replied while nodding.
Today Hyunshik has a photo shoot.
This time he will take me.
...
"During the trip, he was silent. What's wrong with her?" Inner Hyunshik.
Thas right.
I didn't speak a word to him.
I rang with the words of Hyunshik's mother last night.
[ The flashback]
Hyunshik managed to get his family to go home.
Hyunshik and I drove them to the doorstep.
As they entered the elevator, I approached them.
The drap drap.
"Excuse me..." Call me Ae-Ri, Hyunshik's mother.
"Hmm?" Ae-Ri asks while turning her body around.
"Can I know how you... Get that bag?" My toot.
"Oh this? I bought it from an auction in Italy" he replied.
"really?" I don't believe it.
Ae-Ri nodded.
"Ah, then, thank you very much..." I said, bowing my body a little.
[Flashback finished ]
"So, who got the bag was Hyunshik's mother?" My inner.
"Youra Ahn?" Call Hyunshik.
"Ah? What's up?" My toot.
"We have arrived" he answered.
"Ah, right..." Mumbles.
Cklek.
...
Last morning, we had 2 shooting schedules.
The first one is Hyunshik.
And secondly, we have artists from the UK.
We were so overwhelmed because the artist asked for so many things.
"Finally! The break time has arrived! I'm so happy!" Soo-min.
I stretched my hand to the side.
"Chairman, do you want to have lunch with us?" Take Min-Jung.
Soo-Min, Min-Jung, and Dae-Oh look at me curiously.
Greb.
Suddenly Hyunshik came and took my hand.
"Sorry, but... Your friends I'll borrow for the afternoon..." Hyunshik said to my three best friends.
The blush!
I'm appalled.
My eyes widened and my cheeks blushed.
Hyunshik pulled my hand and took me out of the studio.
Soo-Min, Min-Jung, and Dae-Oh are shocked to see Hyunshik's action.
"W-what's that?" Ask Min-Jung.
"Was... They're..."
Soo-Min just wants to connect with Min-Jung's questions.
"...Dating...?"
Then Dae-Oh continues Soo-Min's question.
...
"Hey! Wh-what was that?! You're gonna make the others misunderstand!" Omelcu.
Hyunshik smiled ignorantly.
He held my hand during the trip.
I wasn't too surprised when he asked me, because he said it this morning.
But I was surprised at how he took me away.
This afternoon we went to a market.
I'm planning a lunch with tteokbokki and some other market snacks.
...
We ate at a nearby convenience store.
Since it is currently in the break time, there are many people who use the table and front seats of the department store.
But right now we are lucky.
We got an empty seat that was a little cornered.
So, we were a little away from the crowd.
"Is that delicious?" Ask Hyunshik.
"Hm," I replied while nodding.
I didn't look at Hyunshik because I was focused on my tteokbokki.
"D-U...!" Hyunshik muttered annoyedly.
"Hey, can I have one?" Ask again.
"No" I answered.
"God...!" Mumbled Hyunshik again.
Hyunshik looked at Youra with an annoyed look.
But soon, he had an idea.
"Oh? Soo-min's?" Call Hyunshik.
"Soo-Min?!" I murmured while looking back.
Without me noticing, Hyunshik pulled my hand that was stabbing one of the teoks and put it in his mouth.
"You're right. It's delicious" Hyunshik said.
I turned around again.
"Hey! Min Hyunshi! You're this! I told you not to take my lunch!" Omelcu.
Bugs.
I slowly hit one of Hyunshik's hands.
Hyunshik laughed happily.
"Well... I think, next time we should be here again." Bring Hyunshik.
"Hm. You're right..." My answer.
...
Right now, I'm in the living room.
I'm working on some paperwork I haven't finished this morning.
Zraaash...
I looked towards the window.
Tonight, it rained very hard.
I had to postpone my plan to return home.
"Here," Hyunshik said as he gave her a cup of tea.
"Thank you" I answered.
Dugs.
Hyunshik sat down beside me.
Slurp.
He sipped his tea.
"What are you doing?" Ask Hyunshik.
"I'm finishing my work" I answered.
"really?" Ask.
"God. Be still. You're interrupting my concentration!" Omelcu.
Hyunshik smiled happily.
"It's a pity you can't go home anymore,"
I looked towards him.
Then raise one of my eyebrows.
"You're making fun of me, aren't you...?!" Just pissed.
Hyunshik turned his head.
"No" he objected.
I rolled my eyeballs.
"Curtain! Excuses," I muttered.
"Hey!" Call Hyunshik.
Tiriring.
"God. Why is your ringtone so ugly?" Ask Hyunshik.
I hit Hyunshik on the back.
"Ouch!" Jerit Hyunshik is in pain.
I took my phone.
At the same time, I frowned in surprise at the name on my phone screen.
"Sister...?" Inner confused.
I went away from Hyunshik and raised the call.
"Hello?"
"Youra's? Where're you?" Ask Tae-Hyun.
"I... I was at my friend's house, "I replied, turning to Hyunshik.
"What's wrong?" Means back.
"No. I was gonna ask you to meet. But I think you're busy" replied Tae-Hyun.
"Wait on! Are you... In Korea?" Ask again.
"Hm, right," he answered.
"By the way, why would you want to see me?" Ask again.
"I just want to remind you that tomorrow night we will have dinner together" he replied.
"I may forget it,"
"Goodoo. I'm gonna hang up. Take good care of yourself, yeah..."
"Yes" I answered.
Tap tap tap.
I went back to the living room.
"Who is that?" asked Hyunshik.
"My brother" I answered.
"Your brother?" Ask Hyunshik.
I'm nodding.
"Squeaky. Why did he become lethargic like this...??" Inner Hyunshik astonished.
"Hey, Youra. What's... Any problem? You're... You can tell me" asked Hyunshik again.
"Tomorrow... My family will have dinner to commemorate my mother's death" I replied.
"Geez!" Inner Hyunshik was shocked.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you," Hyunshik said regretfully.
"No-no. It's okay" I replied calmly.
I smiled at him.
"Ah... Looks like, I'd better get on with my work in the room,"
"Is it okay if I leave you here alone?" My toot.
"Hm. Go awayl. I'll be here any minute" Hyunshik replied.
Tap tap tap.
I went into my room.
...
Clotsy-clothed clotch.
I entered the small room.
"Hello, mother," Sapaku stared at the frame with a picture of my mother in it.
I was visiting my late mother.
"Mother, yesterday, I was told by Tae-Hyun's sister that she has returned to Korea" I said.
As usual, when I went to see my mom, I started talking about what I've been doing lately.
"And we will have dinner together to commemorate your departure 7 years ago,"
"I've been through a lot lately..."
"Did mom know? A few days ago I went to France with Kyung Mi,"
"And there I met a boy named Kwang-Sun who was trying to steal my cell phone,"
"When I got back to Korea, the kid was stalking me,"
"But you don't worry. I'm fine,"
"My friend saved me that time,"
"Although I can actually take care of myself,"
"You also know that I found your favorite bag first,"
"2 years ago... Dad auctioned it off in Italy, and it turned out... The one who got it was the mother of my friend..."
"Mommy know? I guess... I like my friend,"
"And... You can see his face. Suppose that... You're here right now..."
Test tests.
My tears are starting to flow.
"Mom, i... (Hiks ) I... Missed you... (Hiks ) Miss you so much...!"
...
Clotsy-clothed clotch.
"Oh? Have you come?" Sapa Kyung Mi's.
"Hm," I replied while nodding.
I sat in the chair opposite Kyung Mi.
"Where are the others?" My toot.
"Sister Tae-Hyun is going to the restroom. And I haven't come yet,"
I nodded in understanding.
"Jeez, you know what...? It's not that I don't want to be with my own family..."
"But every time we gather for dinner together, it feels like we're at a company leadership meeting..! The atmosphere is so stressful!" Kyung Mi's.
I smiled a little, assenting.
...
I guess...
Kyung Mi's words earlier, there's a point...
My father came from 1 hour ago.
After we all got together, we ordered food.
Until the time the food came, no one had started the conversation.
"Tae-Hyun, how is the company developing at the moment?" Ask dad.
"We are working with some well-known companies in Europe..."
"And, right now, we're developing a new product..." Answer Tae-Hyun.
Kyung Mi sighed.
I looked at Kyung Mi curiously.
"Dad. Isn't it a little overwhelming to talk about work at family dinners?" Ask Kyung Mi.
Me and Tae-Hyun round their eyes.
"Sister? What are you doing?" Inner confused.
"I mean, we rarely get together like this." Kyung Mi.
My father sighed.
"Then, how are you?" Ask Jung-Su, my father.
Kyung Mi looked at her father disappointed.
He thought his father would ask him something rather than just our news.
"We're fine" the three of us answered simultaneously.
"Did you know? Youra recruited a model 2 days before the shoot began,"
"He's looking for a replacement for Cha Yong-Sun" Kyung Mi continued, mentioning the name of the former model who had worked with us.
"I wonder why his agency suddenly canceled the contract" muttered Kyung Mi.
Dad looked at me.
I was a little surprised then nodded confirming Kyung Mi said.
"Hm. That's right," I cried.
"Dad knows it" answered my father.
The three of us round our eyes in surprise.
"God..." My inner.
"Father sure something chosen by Youra is something good," continued my father.
"Thank you" I answered.
"Did you know too? That a few days ago, Secretary Park and I went to France to get Lea Seydoux to work together,"
"And we did it!" Kyung Mi.
"That's great" answered my father.
"God... Dad's so boring!" Inner Kyung Mi was upset.
"Dad believes that what you both chose is a good thing,"
The deg!
The three of us were surprised.
Especially Tae-Hyun.
Dad didn't put my brother's name in the sentence he just said.
"What's this...?" Inner confused.

Seriate.
