Chapter 4

SuA and Siyeon went to a coffee shop called Starlight together. This coffee shop is special in that it is designed according to the cold winter concept, which means that the surrounding scenery is always snowy. Snow will be artificially made, and the temperature will be covered by low-temperature air conditioners, giving a very cold feeling.

SuA entered the coffee shop and shivered because of the cold air. It is now spring in Korea, about to enter summer, the outdoor weather only fluctuates 15 to 20 degrees. But when she entered here, she felt like she was in winter, about 3 to 4 degrees, very cold.

She didn't expect Lee Siyeon to have such a weird hobby, Seoul has a lot of nice coffee shops, why come here…..

And she didn't understand why Siyeon wanted to go out for coffee after work.

- You seem to have a habit of wandering around before going home, right?

- Why do you think so? - Siyeon raised her eyebrows and sat down on the chair.

- You have never been home right after work in the past two days - SuA sat down next to

- Well….whatever you think it is okay  – Siyeon scratched her head, SuA didn't know her habit was to stay at home. She very rarely goes out, only going to work and coming home without any other special activities. The fact that she went out for the last two days was because she wanted to ask SuA to go with her.

They sit at a table in the corner of the room, the space here does not have much light. The colors of the lights are mostly red and yellow, giving a mysterious feeling, it is impossible to see the face of the person in front more than 2 meters away, if sit close to each other, can see clearly.

- You seem to like winter, that's why you came to this place - SuA started the topic when the two had finished ordering drinks.

- Yes, I really like winter, and you, do you like it?

- No, I like summer, because in summer I will be able to wear more variety of clothes, and in winter I have to wear thick clothes, I don't like it very much.

- I don't like summer because I sweat a lot, my body sweats more than normal people.

- Oh….

Siyeon pursed her lips and sighed. Kim SuA in the past understood her very well, from her habits, personality, interests, even the fact that she sweated a lot. But now SuA had no memory left, so Siyeon  had to patiently explain herself to SuA.

And the fact that SuA doesn't like winter is what surprised Siyeon because she didn't know this information. The first time she met SuA was 5 years ago, she had known SuA for quite a while, but she didn't know SuA as well as SuA used to know her.

The SuA of today and the SuA of the past are no different, Siyeon’s staff who watch SuA every day confirm that. If there is a difference, only the name and profession are different, but the personality, eating habits, strengths, and forte are still the same.

But that doesn't make any sense either, because Siyeon really doesn't understand the old SuA very well. Now she intends to talk and get to know SuA more.

Drinks are served on the table, the quiet space of the coffee shop makes couples here feel like the whole world is just the two of them, Siyeon and SuA are no exception. Zooming out is the view of Seoul city below, the coffee shop is located on the 20th floor of a building, the terrain is extremely ideal.

SuA feels quite relaxed because the space here is so ideal. She also forgot to ask Siyeon why Siyeon  wanted to come here, she thought about asking as soon as she entered the coffee shop, but now she just wants to focus on enjoying every moment in peace.

Suddenly an arm wrapped around her, SuA looked at Siyeon in surprise.

- Can I hug you? – Siyeon politely asked for permission, but she actually acted.

- …………………….

- I see you shivering because of the cold, my body is very warm, I will help you.

- Ah….hmm….thank you – SuA hesitated, didn't dare to move, didn't dare to breathe because Siyeon was too close to her.

The two stayed like that for a long time, neither of them saying a word.

Siyeon hugged SuA and rested her head on SuA’s by the way. She could hear her heart pounding loudly.

These feelings were the first time she experienced when she was with SuA. In the past she had had many opportunities to be so close to SuA, but her heart didn't beat that fast.

She finds it very difficult to understand…

In addition to the breathing of two people, there is also the melodious music that is active, the rest is not. Siyeon hugged SuA tightly and didn't move and SuA too, sat motionless.

SuA feels awkward, is this situation suitable for the position gap between her and director Lee? She just softened her voice and changed her address to this director a little bit, but now Siyeon blatantly hugged her like that. There are so many ways to warm up, why hug?

Indeed, the fact that she seriously cares for Siyeon makes Siyeon heart softer, Siyeon no longer blames her for anything, and is now hugging her tightly. SuA's thinking was on the right track, the assistant director's main job is to take care of the director, not to deal with office paperwork or support work.

After a long while, SuA decided to speak up.

- Hmm… are you going to drink?

Siyeon started to move, quickly let go of SuA, took a sip of beer, which she ordered.

SuA sighed as her body relaxed, she quickly took her cocktail and drank it. The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward, Siyeon didn't know what to say.

SuA thought about it and then came up with a new topic.

- I heard Handong say that you originally had a driver but fired that person, so now I take the job of taking you to work, why did that person get fired?

- …………. – Siyeon continued to drink beer, not expecting SuA to mention this, her brain began to wrinkle to think.

If she said that Jimin wasn't fired, but moved to another department, it would sound absurd.

- Hmm….if you don't want to share it's fine, it's private anyway – SuA was confused by Siyeon's silence.

- If I told you that I fired my driver so that you could drive me to work and drive me home, would you believe me?

- ………… - SuA froze, this was a flirt. Did Lee Siyeon have a crush on her….?

- ………….. – Siyeon turned towards SuA, waiting for an answer.

- Ah....thank you for your favor, we've only met for 2 days, but you already...

- Only you see we know each other for 2 days.

- Huh? What does that mean?

- I feel like I've seen you for a long time.

- ………….. – SuA bit her lip, the other person spoke so confusingly that she couldn't catch

- Do you see me familiar?

SuA looked deeply at Siyeon's image, from her face to her body.

Siyeon said that maybe she and SuA had met before, but SuA really couldn't remember.

SuA only had one thought, the director really looked very pretty and charming, but clearly a stranger, not familiar at all.

- It's okay if you can't recognize me - Siyeon said softly, she knew that Kim SuA would never remember her.

But she was still stupid enough to say suggestive words to SuA, in her heart she still hoped that SuA would remember her….

But reality is harsh.

- Have we met before? – SuA asked.

- …………………….

- I'm sorry if I don't recognize you, where have we met, tell me maybe I can remember.

- Well, I don't want to talk about this anymore - Siyeon turned away, continuing to drink beer.

After the coffee date ended, SuA took Siyeon home. Stopping the car in front of the suburban villa, SuA actively helped Siyeon unbuckle her seat belt.

- You look tired, go to bed early.

Siyeon nodded, eyes unable to open normally, looking drunk.

- Your alcohol intake seems to be low, you only drank a can of beer but that's it, next time don't drink alcohol anymore - SuA looked worried. SuA didn't understand why when Siyeon walked into that coffee shop, she ordered a beer, she should have chosen a different kind of drinks, like juice or a cocktail like SuA’s

- Okay, be careful when you go home - Siyeon lazily got out of the car to enter the house.

The car still stopped there until Siyeon entered the house completely and then started the engine to leave. Siyeon heard the engine and leaned back against the door, breathing heavily.

She couldn't explain her mentality right now. Kim SuA acts normally but makes her feel sad. She already knew that SuA would no longer remember her, she already knew that it was impossible for SuA to remember her.

But today to face that problem directly, she feels very painful.

This feeling was something she had never experienced….

Siyeon picked up the phone and called Yoohyeon.

“Hello, Ms. Lee, how was the cold coffee shop date?”

- It's okay.

"It's sad to hear your voice, didn't hug her succeed?"

- No, I hugged her for a long time, it must have been 5 minutes.

“Very well then”

- How to make her spend the night at my house?

"You're in a bit of a hurry, Ms. Lee, it's easy to invite her to sleep at home, ask her to have dinner at home, then extend the time, by late evening she won't be able to return to the city center anymore”

- Okay, that's a good plan - Siyeon smirked and hung up the phone, dragging this tired body to the room to rest.

One night passed….

---

A week has passed.

SuA invited Yoohyeon to Vision Bakery for lunch. Kim Yoohyeon is an employee of KBR, she works in the accounting department. After going to a coffee shop with Siyeon, SuA decided to make friends with the company's employees to get to know her director better.

SuA works as an assistant manager, so she doesn't have many opportunities to interact with other KBR employees. While walking in the company corridor, SuA met Yoohyeon, she was initially impressed when she saw this girl. Because Yoohyeon was very tall and beautiful, she looked like a model, so SuA took the initiative to talk to Yoohyeon and asked to be friends.

The two sometimes meet up for drinks or lunch during breaks. Yoohyeon is 3 years younger than SuA, although they are not the same age, the two quickly became close because of their suitable conversation.

Originally, Yoohyeon's personality didn't match SuA's taste, but she was a very skillful person, she turned the situation around so that SuA liked being friends with her.

Yoohyeon is not exactly an employee of KBR, she is just an employee of Lee Siyeon. She went to KBR to invite a friend to lunch, the head of HR department Lee Dami. While waiting for Dami, SuA suddenly appeared somewhere and asked to be friends with her.

Kim Yoohyeon was like a fish in water, feeling extremely happy because of this fertile opportunity. Being friends with SuA will help Siyeon a lot.

Lee Siyeon wants Kim SuA to love her….that’s what Yoohyeon knows.

Yoohyeon listened to Siyeon and followed SuA for the past year without SuA knowing, so meeting at KBR’s corridor was the first time the two met.

Yoohyeon lied to SuA, she admitted that she was an employee of KBR even though she wasn't. She asked Dami to fake an ID card for her, so that she would wear it every time she went to see SuA so that SuA would trust her more. She also lied to SuA that she worked in the accounting department.

And she didn't want to tell this to Siyeon because she was afraid Siyeon would have suspicious reactions when Siyeon was around SuA. Lee Siyeon is a person who knows how to control her emotions, but recently she has not, according to Yoohyeon's observation.

Lee Siyeon is really falling in love with Kim SuA slowly without knowing it. She wants SuA to be fired from Seoul bank and go to KBR to satisfy her ego, Siyeon wants SuA to fall in love with her again.

Kim Yoohyeon used to be an employee of KBR, then left the company and only worked for Siyeon. She understood the whole story, especially Siyeon's psychology.

In Yoohyeon’s mind, she once judged Lee Siyeon as a selfish person, but now after witnessing Siyeon’s  confusion regarding SuA-related matters, she felt a little satisfied. Because Lee Siyeon is finally getting a taste of chasing someone else.

The first time Siyeon has to impress someone, the first time she has to flirt with someone, so she is an amateur. Siyeon calls Yoohyeon constantly just to ask for advice, at such times Yoohyeon just wants to laugh because of the cuteness of the director.

- Did you wait for me long? – SuA sat down, smiling brightly.

- I just arrived, work is good these days? - Yoohyeon showed her crescent eyes.

- Work is fine, but Ms. Lee...

- How is Director Lee?

- She just goes to work and then comes home, it's been like this all week, usually she likes to go somewhere and then come home.

Yoohyeon sneered, SuA didn't know Siyeon's habit of staying at home, and she didn't know Siyeon went out somewhere because of her.

Yoohyeon knows Siyeon's mood lately, Siyeon is still sad that SuA doesn't remember her, so when she's not working she just stays at home and wallows in that sadness. Yoohyeon felt that Lee Siyeon was stupid, spending her time only to be sad about something that was already known.

But what's interesting is that Kim SuA cares about that, she must have some feelings for Siyeon already.

- When was the last time Siyeon went somewhere after work?

- It was the day she and I went to a coffee shop.

- What happened that day?

- Ah... - SuA hesitated.

- Don't worry SuA, you can share with me - Yoohyeon put a hand on SuA's hand on the table.

- That coffee shop was very cold, so…..Siyeon hugged me to keep me warm.

- How do you feel about that hug?

SuA froze in thought, she admitted that she herself could not forget that moment. The person who hugged her for so long was only Lee Siyeon.

But it must have been nothing to Siyeon, but to her it was quite special.

- I felt very warm, then Siyeon said implying that I and her have met in the past, but I really don't remember.

- ………….

- Seems like Siyeon was upset about that, maybe that's why she didn't ask me to go anywhere, she went home right after work.

Yoohyeon laughed.

- According to the experience of working for director Lee for nearly 2 years, I can tell that she is angry with you.

- Angry?

- Yeah, let me show you how to make up.

- How?

- Take her out to dinner.
