"Why are you calling me at this time of night Jimin?! I need my beauty sleep!", Areum's voice came in the line.

Jimin was seated at one couch on the balcony. He was struggling to sleep since only she kept on coming into his mind. He couldn't sleep knowing that she would be leaving anytime soon.

So, he was again here to ask for help from his ex-girlfriend. The things he did for her...

"You remember that you have a $1.4M car right?", He said.

"Ugh just say it. You are the weirdest person ever. What did I even see in you to date you?"

"My money, honey."

"So, can you please continue? Unlike some people, I need to sleep."

"Your flowers and chocolate crap didn't work out."

"Wait, how?"

"Obviously,  it won't work out when she is actually allergic to flowers! You could have given a better tip."

"And what kind of person you are that you don't even know what the person you like is allergic from! It's you who isn't paying attention to details! So don't you dare blame it on me!"

"Fine! Now give me a piece of better advice!"

"Let me think. Hmmmmmmmm"

"Yes?"

"Hmmmmmmmmmmm"

"Can you please stop with that annoying sound?"

"My mouth, my Choice. You know what, actually I want to tell you all the things girls hate, so I can save a girl from falling into your trap. But--"

"But what?"

"But I won't. Because I love my new baby."

"Thank me for that car."

"Welcome me for all the advice."

"Now can you continue?"

"Ok so--"

"Take her out for lunches, dinners, breakfasts from time to time and this time, try to know her favorite food as well. A way to a girl's heart is their stomach."

"Seems good. But isn't it "The way to a man's heart is through their stomach?"

"Same thing alright. I can marry a man who can buy me good food. I don't need to think twice.", She replied.

"Okay, I guess."

"Park Jimin, don't call me again now! I am done with this!"

"Remember the car?"

"God. Yes, please call me if you have any queries. "

"Good."

He hung up after that. He smirked as he knew exactly what to do.

I collected all the printed documents and kept them neatly on one side.

These were some urgent documents and I headed towards his office. I lightly tapped on the door. After a while, his voice came from inside and I stepped in.

"Mr. Park, your documents are ready. I will call Mr. Min Ho and arrange a meeting with him for you. What time would you prefer?"

"2 pm sounds nice."

"Sure Mr. Park, and for today, you don't have a lunch date with anyone. You have a monthly meeting with the management team at 1 pm and an appointment with your family doctor at 3: 15 pm. Then, your schedule is pretty much cleared for today."

"Are you serious about that doctor appointment?", He said in disbelief.

"You can't neglect your health, Mr. Park. It's better to have a check-up earlier instead of the matters becoming worse later...", You said.

He shook his head and gave a bitter smile. "How are the charity gala preparations going?"

"They are going well. They also want you to inaugurate the ceremony, Mr. Park but I have already informed them that you wouldn't fancy that idea."

"Good. And--"

"And Lee Soya will be attending you from next Monday."

He raised his eyebrow. "Lee Soya?"

"She is your soon-to-be secretary. I am going to train her from Monday. " I said, a lump forming in my throat, and I didn't know why.

His expression went grim but he shook it off and again asked, "Miss Kim, my mom wants you to attend the family gathering with me on Friday night. She said that she misses you."

"On Friday?", My eyes widened.

"Yes. Is there any problem? You aren't free?"

"The thing is....actually I have a date on Friday night.....", I hesitantly spoke, mentally cursing myself. My sister had such great timing. I told her that I didn't want to get involved in relationships, dating, and those kinds of stuff. But she insisted on sending me to one with her colleague, what was she telling, oh yes, he is a gentleman, handsome, polite, mature and bla bla bla.

I already promised her. If I canceled the date, she would again develop bitterness towards Jimin which I didn't want.

"Oh? A date?", He asked, looking rather surprised.

"I am sorry Mr. Park but I can't cancel it. It's an important one."

"No, it's perfectly understandable. You wouldn't be here for long anyway and I want your last moments here to be memorable.", He gritted his teeth, but showed that he was calm and cool outside.

"Thank you Mr. Park.", I said. He nodded and got up. Then, he rushed towards the bathroom.

"Wow, Park Jimin, you are great."

"How can she even abandon me for a petty date? Me? Park Jimin?"

"How can she?"

"When did dates become so important for her? No, from when did Miss Kim even start going on dates?"


Jimin was fuming inside and he didn't know why. The fact that Miss Kim, for the first time in her life, had canceled time with him for something else or that Miss Kim had prioritized someone else over him for the first time.

He didn't know why he was feeling these weird things. If he could just see that fucking date of hers, he would have smashed his head by now. What the?  Jimin, cool down!

He splashed water on his face but it wasn't doing any good. His face was red with anger.

"Didn't Taehyung tell me that Miss Kim likes me? Then, why is she going on dates with other men?!"

"I need to call Areum. She can only help me with this shit."

He quickly took out his phone and rang up Areum.

"Hello----"

"I have a problem. The thing is, the girl I am trying these things for, is actually going on a date with another man and I need to stop it. It's a big deal because she rejected me for him."

"Woah, Hello again."

"I need a solution."

"Park Jimin, when did you start rapping? You could be a great rapper."

"Since Tony Monta---wait, why are we even discussing this? I need a fucking solution."

"Chill down. She is just going on a date, not going to marry that person."

"That might happen soon if no action is taken."

"Did you have lunch?"

"Yes already. I took an early one.", He said.

"I don't care about you. Did she have lunch?"

"Probably no. She usually has it around half past 12."

"Ok, but why are you asking me lunchtimes?", He asked.

"Just shut up for once. Now go and take her for lunch. Don't try anything foolish like asking her to cancel the date since it makes you look bad. Just try to get more information on the person. We can spy on him and check what flaws you have."

"Wait, I don't have any flaws. I am perfect."

"Remind me again why I even dated you in the first place. Stop being so narcissistic."

"Ok. You can go now. Bye. "

"Bye."

*****

Jimin hurried towards Miss Kim's seat. He was relieved to see that she hadn't gone for lunch yet.

"Miss Kim?"

"Yes Mr. Park?", I quickly got up seeing that Jimin was out.

"Did you have lunch?"

"No, but I am going to have now. Is there any work you want me to do? I can eat la--"

"Get the car. We are going for lunch!", He told and left immediately.

"Wait, but didn't you have lunch just ear----", I trailed off. He has gotten a lot weird lately. What's up with him? Now lunch together?

I shut off my laptop and took my bag. Then, I left for having lunch with Mr. Park.
