Two days later
This is your very first business trip. You prepare everything all night long. Your hand is all filled with your case on the left and bunch of document on the right hand. You are standing on side road, waiting for Ju Min.
The car that driven by Mr Kim park infront of you, Ju Min is sitting on the backseat, holding Elizabeth 3rd on his hand. He only open the window to command you to come inside without bothered to open door, looking on your state.
If it was Han Ryu Min, he would gladly open the door for you, but this is the cold and insensitive CEO, Han Ju Min not the kindhearted Ryu Min. You start to able differentiate the two man and maintain your composure around Ju Min.
Driver Kim helps you to tidy your case on the baggage. And you can finally enter the car. You inform Ju Min about the schedule for the next week, who will he meets with, what's on occasion,which hotel you would stay, and how long the flight will be. You didn't miss any important detail. Your destination is Japan. Ju Min nods while stroking Elizabeth 3rd's fur.
Elizabeth is indeed an elegant cat, her white fur is really soft. It seem that Ju Min treats her tenderly.
"Why is Elizabeth 3rd means a lot for you?" You can't hold your curiousity. It is happened that she is a gift from a very important person for him. All of conversation with Ju Min is all almost about the cat or something relates to business.
The business trip is a hectic for you, you can't stop of being busy while assisting Ju Min crowded schedule or taking care of Elizabeth 3rd. For almost a week doing the trip you rarely have a proper meal nor a comfortable sleep. Now you can feel Jae Hae's sorrowful day. Ju Min perfectsionist doesn't allow you to take a rest.
It's the last day of business trip, Ju Min take you to the famous galery of Takasima. He is the last of business partner Ju Min needs to meet, an artist. He is a collector of famous and inspirative photography.
When you and Ju Min walks around the galery, you spot a photography that take your attention. It is portrayed a fallen single rose on the rainy days with a shadow of man carry an umbrella reflecting on the rain drops on the ground. It seem like the man try to protect the fallen rose from the rain.
"Ryan M" you read the name of photographer on the portrait.
"This photograph somehow give a same vibe like V's works" Ju Min joins you, observing the masterpiece.
"V?" You ask Ju Min
"My late bestfriend who died last year, on a car accident with his fiancee" It is the first time you saw he is being melanchony, there is a longing is his eyes.
"That's right, I intended to buy this work because it remind me of V" Hirosima coments. He tell you that he discovered this potrait lately, and after he does some research, Ryan M is a famous photographers from Korea who was recognized by the world. It is not easy to be able buy his masterpiece.
At night you finally come back to Hotel, you still come to Ju Min room to organize the materials result of this trip. After you finish everything, you accidentally looks out to the balcony. It is a full moon. The bright light of moon iluminate the sea water on the beach nearby.
You come outside the balcony and enjoying the beautiful night view. Soon Ju Min joining you, take a bottle of wine on his right hand, and a wine glass on the other.
"You don't seem to be surprised again when you see me lately" he puts the bottle on the table and enjoy the wine on the glass. He remind you of the previous conversation on his office.
"...... It's because I totally understand that you are not him, both of you are really different" you explain. He takes another sip before ask you again.
" do you resent him for rejected you?" there is no a change of his expression nor any trace of curiousity. He takes this topic as a light conversation.
"It would be nice if I can resent him... But I always be grateful of him until now..." You smile tragically.
"I never though that he would be able to reject someone so easily, he is a kind of person who cares a lot about others feeling" Ju Min continue. He isn't close with his brother, but he at least know about this fact.
"He has no choice, he has a girlfriend" when you say this, Ju Min understand. He remembers about Kang Ha Na, the little girl who always pursued his brother.
"So why don't you try to forget him by loving someone else?" You look at him for awhile then to the beach again. It is not easy to forget your first love.
"We look similar, and I am always around you, so why don't you try to love me instead? Why don't you try to love someone who close to you rather than a person you don't even know where are they now?" His question is something that you never predict. You only can staring at him, speechless.
