บท 27: Who knows, someday I might be asking her to marry me.

Eunji felt strangely energized, she had been putting off shopping for a while and it was finally time to do it.

She had the afternoon free to finally meet Hyejin again... Why was her heart racing just thinking about seeing her?! Ah, feelings and emotions were such complicated things.

She took her car and drove it diligently, she even turned on the radio... Which she never did.

Happy music played and she even paid attention to the lyrics.

She smiled feeling like an idiot.

Her main goals for the day were to buy clothes suitable for work, she was tired of walking around like a college student and also to buy her new car.

Eunji didn't particularly trust the car she was using, she felt like it might explode or even be bugged.

She needed to get rid of him as soon as possible.

She didn't have many luxuries as far as a car was concerned, if it had four wheels that was enough, but she knew she would need an armored car and she would also indulge in a big car.

Big cars gave her an air of ostentation and she was satisfied with that, especially in front of her employees.

She knew of a few places that sold good cars and she went to them, it wouldn't be long before she could finally reach an avenue lined with car stores.

For all kinds of tastes, but the most curious was to come across Mi Joo in front of her, crossing the crosswalk.

She shamelessly honked her horn and saw Mi Joo's scared and angry face that soon faded in seconds, gradually giving way to a beautiful smile.

Yes, that woman could take a punch from Eunji and still be grateful.

Well, getting beat up by a pretty woman was often a privilege.

Mi Joo completely gave up on crossing the street and ran towards Eunji's car. "What are you doing here?"

Eunji hurriedly opened the passenger door and there were already half a dozen cars honking for her to go on. "Come in... I'm going to buy a car."

Mi Joo happily put on her seat belt, her day was relatively boring, she was wandering around town to chat with liquor vendors.

The life of a businesswoman had its bureaucracies and annoyances.

Nothing she could avoid, after all.

The woman chatted happily as she watched Eunji drive, she could remember the days when the scene was the opposite and she was the one carrying that little girl up and down.

That nostalgic feeling made her feel a little melancholy, especially when she noticed that Eunji was so happy and smiling... she looked like someone who had found her love.

Mi Joo felt bitter.

The woman said staring at the radio on while playing one of those songs from the moment she didn't even know the name. "I didn't know you liked Kpop..."

Young Kim looked at her and smiled. "Me neither, but doesn't that sound nice? Maybe I'll learn to like it..."

"Have you been in contact with your new girl?"

Kim laughed, she had been having a lot of things with Hyejin. "Why does that worry you?"

Finally the car stopped in front of a luxury car store, Eunji turned off the radio, removed her seat belts and faced her guest. "She doesn't work for you anymore anyway."

Mi Joo raised her eyebrows, of course she was her maid.

Of course she was just a prostitute!

"What are you talking?"

Eunji didn't smile much, she was always serious and her smiles were always sarcastic or ironic.

Mi Joo couldn't help but feel annoyed to see her smile so genuinely for talking about that one.

So irritating.

"Her resignation letter is me... Who knows, someday I might be asking her to marry me."

Kim got out of the car and for a few seconds she marveled at the blue sky without any clouds and for seconds she wondered about her earlier thought of missing gray London.

That place had its colors and grace, it was so genuine, she loved it. Saying goodbye was truly painful, but maybe new colors were needed.

She pressed the button locking the car and barely realized that she had trapped Mi Joo inside.

It took a few seconds to hear an irritated Mi Joo screaming and punching the glass in complete defiance.

Mi Joo felt bitter, besides being changed now she would also be literally abandoned inside that car?! She was really angry and regretful that she had agreed to go shopping with Eunji.

She walked with firm and strong steps, if she had a few more pounds she would try to break the ground she walked on with the intensity of her steps. "Are you trying to kill me?"

Eunji smiled gently and patted Mi Joo on the back. "Sorry."

The two quickly got into the subject of cars and it didn't take Eunji much more than ten minutes to decide which one she would buy and she had the feeling in her heart that Hyejin would like the car.

What a strange and curious feeling.

She couldn't remember the last time she'd wanted to share something with someone.

Well... Maybe she remembered perfectly, but she preferred to pretend she didn't.

Some people, some moments maybe should simply be forgotten, after all what to do when disappointments broke us into so many pieces that it was impossible to get back together?!

Forgetting seemed like a good option.

Her tattoo was living proof of that.

Eunji took longer signing papers than choosing the car, bureaucracy was sometimes a big waste of time, but yes she could at least get out of there already driving her new car.

Money had its own merits.

She didn't particularly like the smell of a new car, but Mi Joo seemed mesmerized and obsessed with stroking and sniffing the upholstery of her car... It was really a strange thing to watch closely.

She sat back on the seat of her new car and heaved a loud sigh of relief, her own conquests tasting better and sweeter.

She took out her cell phone and finally sent the message she had been longing for.

'Dad, I left the car you lent me at the dealership x ask someone to pick it up, the manager is already warned and just waiting for someone to pick up the vehicle.'

She finally started the engine and she could hear the engine roar, yes... It was satisfying.

Mi Joo had forgotten all her anger and now she only had eyes for Eunji and her new beautiful car with white leather seats.... Ah, that car was so sexy and not surprising Eunji chose an English brand for her new car ... She was so predictable sometimes.

"Where are we going now?"

Eunji looked at her watch and there was still time, even though she didn't make an appointment with Hyejin she wanted to be home when she went to her apartment.

"I need clothes for work..."

Mi Joo smiled widely and soon made Eunji draw a new line, they would take measurements and ask for made-to-measure clothes.

Although Kim wanted something faster, she liked the idea of clothes made exactly for her body, but it took time and she thought that an outfit from a simple mall store would already meet her need in the short term.

In short, she would order several clothes that she could not wear the next day, being forced to go out shopping again.

She sighed thoughtfully.

Kim had lost all sense of good and bad stores, she had spent a lot of time away and tailored work clothes were her last living necessities while studying at university.

Well, the more comfortable the better, was her college motto.

Anyway... 1, 2, 3 hours passed and there was Eunji with Mi Joo clinging to her shoulders next to a tailor.

She had selected various fabrics and numerous types of clothing and she was definitely renewing her wardrobe to the point where the tailor would be unable to receive any further orders for the next few weeks.

He would have a lot of work ahead of him, but he would earn a lot of money too. It was rare for a customer to come up with such an overwhelming need for clothing.

The only thing she hadn't ordered from him were underwear.

Well, it was a good shopping day after all.

But her feet were already hurting and she needed to go to her apartment.

She glanced at her watch for the thousandth time in just that minute and was soon asked by Mi Joo that she felt restless and insecure every time she saw her staring at the hands. "Do you have any commitments?"

Eunji smiled lightly. "Today is pizza day."

Mi Joo who didn't seem to understand what she meant automatically became happy, thinking that this was a great opportunity to meet her old friend. "Pizza! We will..."

Kim already imagining the misunderstanding soon interrupted Mi Joo. "I already have company, let's leave it for the next day, ok?!"

The woman couldn't help but look sad and disappointed, she desperately longed for moments with Eunji.

On the other hand, Kim felt refreshed that she was finally free to go home, even though Mi Joo still insisted on accompanying her on pizza night, which was refused every time.

When finally Eunji was about to get into her car she felt her cell phone vibrate in her pocket, it was Hyejin.

She answered the phone with Mi Joo's watchful eyes on her.

But she didn't care.

"You have arrived? I'll just leave Mi Joo at the bar and I'll be home, I'll send you the password for the door, come in and wait for me a while... I shouldn't be long... Do you want to order the pizza? It's the time I arrive, yes... Ok, I'll trust your taste... Alright, bye."

Eunji finally turned off her cell phone and met Mi Joo's disappointed look, but it's not like she really cared... Ahhh, she was tired of repeating it to herself, she didn't care, but why the hell did all these people care? they didn't care so much who she was with or wasn't with… So irritating.

Was she not already being clear enough that the two of them were just friends?

Well, they might have had sex a few times, but that wasn't what they would consider dating.

Their relationship was far from anything.
