Chapter 27 - She Could Believe (2/2)
She closed her eyes and images the words Yunjae and Jinho told her flooded her mind, and her hand automatically glided across the paper as she wrote each and every detail she remembered from their story. This continued on for a few hours. She wrote not just words but the feelings she had while she listened.
When she finished, it was already almost four in the morning which surprised her. She didn't think she'd spent that much time writing as she worked continuously and only stopped twice to go to the toilet.
”Wow…”
Yanee was amazed. She couldn't believe she'd work this efficiently. She's even more hardworking just a while ago compared to when she worked to impress someone at her previous office.
”WAAAA!”
Realizing she thought of something she shouldn't have, she tugged at her hair as a form of punishment. She had promised herself not to look back into the past anymore. It took her a while and she worked hard on forgetting her bitter memories. They were better left where they should belong: out of her mind, just as that person was now out of her life.
Then again, as she went over her notes for one last time before going to sleep, something bothered her and she frowned. She read her story outline again, and once more felt disturbed. Why?
”How can I say that this is an office romance?” Yanee wondered out loud.
It was true that Yunjae and Jinho worked in the same company, and were even boss and secretary at some point. In their case, they worked together for two months before they got married. However…
”But they knew each other since they were in college,” Yanee stated problematically.
The two met and fell in love as students in the same swimming club and not at work. They even conceived their first child during that time, before their misunderstanding happened and they separated. Their flames were only rekindled when they met again after two years. They had an office affair and found out the truth about their past, and then got back together again.
It was truly a heartwarming and magnificent story.
”But is that considered an office romance?”Yanee wondered again.
She was expecting to be interviewing people who met and fell in love at their workplace. If they already knew each other before, then she had no idea if that was still okay.
”I guess I better ask the potato then,” Yanee commented with a sigh.
She wondered if Tohru James had an idea what Yunaje's story was about. It's good if he did. Because if he did, then it meant that her interview and the Kang couple's love story wouldn't be in vain.
Remembering Yunjae and Jinho, Yanee Lee smiled as she let out a satisfied sigh. She didn't notice that her pessimistic heart felt like she could believe in love at that moment in time.
