"Yaah, are you really wearing those boots?" Aera asked Daeji. It was Saturday afternoon, Daeji and her two best friends were at the mall for watching movies.934Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8FhOWuXoX
"Huh, yeah. What's wrong?" Daeji replied in confusion.934Please respect copyright.PENANArEbqfkiTir
Jihye, another Daeji's best friend, chimed in. "My dear, we are here to meet some cute guys. We have to flaunt our girly sides, guys dig those things! Your appearance right now is screaming 'I'm a tough princess' not 'please-save me-princess.' Why aren't you wearing dress like us?"934Please respect copyright.PENANAeLaxJA9wu3
Daeji then shook a finger in front of her friends. "No, no, no. I'm here to watch a movie, eat delicious dishes and have fun with both of you. I'm not planning to find any princes charming whatsoever. Anyway, the weather is so cold! Look at how short your skirts are! Aren't you frozen?"934Please respect copyright.PENANAtiN0xJyOP0
Aera and Jihye looked at their said skirts and blushed. "But we want to look beautiful!"934Please respect copyright.PENANACqPIW24nQW
Daeji grinned, "of course you ladies are pretty. My besties are beautiful, everybody knows that! Now, if the guys say otherwise, they must be blind." She hugged their shoulders on each arms, "let's go princesses, the movie awaits!" Aera and Jihye laughed at Daeji's saying. Together the three young women went to the cinema.934Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5g3IariIc
Two hours later, Daeji, Aera and Jihye sat in a café. The movie had finished, they wanted to have something to eat and picked this place. The cafe's interior was so Parisian. Aera and Jihye loved its chicness! Well, they were always into anything liked this. Daeji on the other hand, was more on the tomboyish side. She calmly ate her pudding while Aera and Jihye couldn't stop taking selfies. Daeji and her girls were totally the opposite, but she loved them for they were and vice versa.934Please respect copyright.PENANAexttC8vZxV
Suddenly, Daeji saw two handsome men came in. She knew them! They were Lee Joon and Ji Hoon, both were her colleagues at office. They seemed confused because the café was terribly packed, no more tables available. Daeji then quickly raised her hand and waved at them, the guys smiled at her and approached Daeji's seat.934Please respect copyright.PENANALiOA0fj9iK
"Hey girl, what's up!" Lee Joon greeted her. He then high-fived Daeji. Lee Joon was a cheerful person, he was friendly and popular at office. Therefore both Daeji and Lee Joon were good friend.934Please respect copyright.PENANARXrbvaA8ad
"As you can see, I'm fabulous as always!" Daeji joked. Ji Hoon laughed and poked her shoulder playfully. Daeji's easy going nature was the factor why she got along well with guys, not to mention they liked her sense of humour too. 934Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8Z0EpJabB
"What are you guys doing here? Are you on a date or something?" Daeji raised her right eyebrow, totally teased the two. Lee Joon instantly looked around panickedly and squinched his eyes, "aish, this girl! Don't say it out loud, you big mouth!" Daeji grinned and covered her mouth, acting as if she was surprised.934Please respect copyright.PENANA8eXc7dWnC6
"Yaah, it's a hush-hush! How did you know?" Ji hoon's sudden reply burst everyone into laughter. These guys were really funny, Daeji then introduced them to Aera and Jihye. Daeji also invited Ji Hoon and Lee Joon to sit with them and the guys accepted. All Daeji's friends instantly got along so well just liked old friends. They joked together and were even unified to tease her. She had some fun with them when suddenly Daeji remembered that she had promised her mother to come home before 8 pm. It was still 6.30 pm, but the traffic was usually bad.934Please respect copyright.PENANAzXYRL9CiOZ
"Forgive me guys, I must go now. Got another appointment to catch!" Daeji's friends protested.934Please respect copyright.PENANA2Et2hDAHZo
"Why?? Don't go! It's still early! Aren't we going to dance?" Jihye said. Aera nodded and pouted.934Please respect copyright.PENANAIixCZsWmJN
"I'd really love to, girls, but I have a family gathering tonight. I can't bail on this one, because my mother will definitely kill me! Can we reschedule? Or...how about dancing with these gorgeous men over here? They're surely the life of the party!" Daeji pointed at Lee Joon and Ji hoon.934Please respect copyright.PENANAnJFDClrJfB
"Yeah, don't worry. Let's go dance together. My dancing card is still empty, I don't mind having two pretty dance-partners!" Lee Joon winked at them. Aera and Jihye smiled shyly, but eventually they nodded their heads.934Please respect copyright.PENANAOIIlK8kzJP
"Well, it's settled then. Have fun you guys! See you later, okay?" Daeji hugged her best friends.934Please respect copyright.PENANAkhanl47ETl
"And you gentlemen, please take care of them alright? Don't do anything funny because I'll see you soon at office!" both of the guys gave "peace" signs. Daeji smiled and waved at them before leaving the café.934Please respect copyright.PENANAbauzyWG3Ym
Outside the mall building, the snow had fallen. The cold wind suddenly blew, Daeji tightened her coat when someone caught her eyes. Standing in the middle of parking lot, there was a young girl, approximately in her seventeen. She was holding a basket of red roses. Oh dear, was she selling flowers in snowy weather liked this? Daeji shook her head in disbelief. Slowly she approached the teenager.934Please respect copyright.PENANAs7oarDDCAA
"Hello there," Daeji greeted her. She lifted her head at Daeji's voice. "What are you doing?" Daeji asked.934Please respect copyright.PENANApfOuQOce44
"Oh, good evening, Eonnie (Sister). I'm selling roses," the young lady pointed at her basket.934Please respect copyright.PENANAwOSqguvT5y
"The snow is falling, can't you find somewhere warm to sell those flowers? It's really cold outside." The girl smiled then shook her head.934Please respect copyright.PENANAbZkSffoMs3
"Thank you so much for your concern, eonnie..but I must sell these last 20 roses. It's the last day of my project," she explained.
"Project? What project dear?"
"Well, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yura. I'm a high school student. Our teacher is assigning us to make a social project. We have to sell something and all the income will be donated. Mine is selling 50 red roses, I had sold 30 in the morning and in the afternoon but the last 20 are still unsold. Will you buy some eonnie?" she pleaded.934Please respect copyright.PENANAe5wUWc4c34
"How much do these roses cost?" Daeji asked. Yura mentioned the total price. Unfortunately, Daeji didn't bring enough money. She could only buy three roses. However, Yura looked so sincere and kind, also she did this for good cause. Daeji found this young woman was so admirable!934Please respect copyright.PENANA2UF3iH1Q79
"Let me help you then, Yura-ssi," Daeji said. "Let's sell the flowers together!"934Please respect copyright.PENANAk43UKw056l
Yura's eyes got brighter, "really eonnie? Thank you!" she hugged Daeji. "But eonnie, I don't disturb your plan right?" She sounded worried. Daeji looked at her watch. It was still 1,5 hours to 8 pm. Daeji smiled and said, "don't worry; I still have plenty of time. Come on!"934Please respect copyright.PENANA88AbFiIa6I
Some visitors passed by. Daeji offered them the flowers and told the mission behind it. However, nobody bought the roses. After 40 minutes, Yura already looked desperate. She bit her lower lip and ducked her head. Daeji felt sorry for the young one so she asked Yura to take a rest. Daeji, on the other hand, was still trying to sell the flowers.934Please respect copyright.PENANAmeHH8n4DbD
Suddenly, there was a man walking towards Daeji's direction. She gasped finding out how handsome the man was. He was tall and lean. He walked elegantly and his face looked so calm. Daeji then braced herself, she hoped this good looking man could help!934Please respect copyright.PENANA7dy5JwwOSE
"Excuse me, sir...can I have your time for a minute?"
The man stopped right in front of Daeji. His piercing eyes stared deeply. He said nothing, only tilted his head slightly to the right, then asked, "can I help you miss?"934Please respect copyright.PENANAO3gkPOwosf
"I'm sorry to bother your precious time sir, but I'm helping my friend over there (pointed at Yura) to sell these roses. They were meant for social project. The income from the purchasing will be donated. Are you by any means interested in charity sir?"934Please respect copyright.PENANAJADNMP25k5
"Hm charity? Really?" He looked at you. "Care to explain what charity it is?"
Oh my, he sounded interested! Daeji quickly called Yura to come. Yura enthusiastically told the man about her project. He listened attentively and at the end of Yura's explanation, the man agreed to buy all of the roses! Yura and Daeji were so happy, she kept saying, "Bless you sir" over and over again until the man politely asked Yura to stop.934Please respect copyright.PENANAtVWdVcJRoF
The man opened his wallet and gave the money. Yura accepted it with a big smile painted on her face. She then bowed deeply to the man before running to get her bag. Daeji chuckled at her cute reaction.934Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ5ojFfrIT
"You're so kind to help her," the man suddenly said. Daeji was a bit surprised to find that he was still there.934Please respect copyright.PENANALRUZdoimdb
"A good cause needs a proper support. Don't you think so?" she replied at him.934Please respect copyright.PENANAoSQiTjj9FS
"Is she your family? She's a good young lady."
"That's true, she's great," Daeji nodded. "And honestly, she's not my family. I'm also a visitor like you."934Please respect copyright.PENANAhR0rU1bgYD
"Really?" he looked surprised. "So you're helping a stranger?"
Daeji shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Yes. At least that's what I can do to show my support."934Please respect copyright.PENANAXkc4iZzTJE
"I see..." he smiled back at Daeji. 934Please respect copyright.PENANALW1CtCKz85
Wow! His smile was really breathtaking! It was so beautiful to watch. Didn't want him to find her stare too long, Daeji cleared her throat and changed the subject immediately. She extended her hand and said, "thank you very much for your help sir. You're really a gentleman yourself. Have a nice day and hopefully those red roses bring you good luck today!"934Please respect copyright.PENANAhnuURiyTcK
He stared at Daeji a bit longer before shaking the hand. "You're very welcome miss, have a nice day to you too!" both of them then parted ways. Suddenly, he shouted from behind.934Please respect copyright.PENANAy6uE3h894C
"I think you are right miss!" Daeji turned at him, totally confused.934Please respect copyright.PENANAbgEIktCTUd
"About what?"
"These roses bring me luck. I just met an angel in boots (pointed at Daeji) so I'm good," he smiled and continued walking. Leaving her gaped and blushed on the spot. What a weird man, praising a stranger liked that! Daeji thought. She chuckled and went home.934Please respect copyright.PENANArpb8mFYiFu
The next Monday, Daeji came to her office. Lee Joon told her that there was a sudden meeting at 9, all employees were summoned to the meeting room.934Please respect copyright.PENANAhE0LGZbe51
"What's the matter, Joon-ah? Why do we have to gather instantly?" Daeji asked.934Please respect copyright.PENANAQvDLzAqok8
"I don't know. The others just said there's an announcement. Maybe it's about our new manager? I heard he's coming this week," Lee Joon answered.934Please respect copyright.PENANAENbtyMLHDC
"Aahhh, I see." she nodded.934Please respect copyright.PENANApbSAz3kR98
By the time Daeji came to the meeting room, the place was already full of people. Daeji and Lee joon didn't get any seats, so both of them decided to stand by the door. While the company's director was talking at the front, Daeji tried her best to focus but she just got swayed to the right and left by so many people.934Please respect copyright.PENANACbKGwMIIFn
Daeji finally decided to go out for a while, but when she turned her direction, Daeji suddenly bumped onto someone's chest. A man's chest to be exact! She was so embarrassed and was ready to apologize. But when Daeji's eyes met his face, she was really shocked! It was the man from the mall!934Please respect copyright.PENANAtJtD76UFIz
"Yyou..I mean sir, how could you be here?" The calm man smiled.934Please respect copyright.PENANAKuV5Xf5HZP
"Hello angel, we meet again. Apparently my luck hasn't run out yet." He chuckled.
"Do you work here too? How??" Daeji was still surprised.934Please respect copyright.PENANA3cGObqqoke
"Well, actually I'm ..." he stopped talking and raised his finger, "I think I'm being summoned inside. Can we continue later?" he smiled beautifully, patted Daeji's shoulder and went into the meeting room. Daeji quickly followed him, just in time to hear the director announced, "please welcome, our new branch manager everyone, Mister Jeon Jungkook!"934Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZqOGqw3o9
There was silence for seconds, when suddenly the sound of clapping hands filled the room. The handsome man Daeji met at mall approached the Director.934Please respect copyright.PENANAFtL02YwklH
"Hello everyone, nice to meet you. I'm Jeon Jungkook," he bowed deeply and flashed his smile to the audience. Daeji could hear the crowd gasped. Apparently Jungkook's charm affected the employees, especially the female ones. Daeji heard the comment "so handsome!" here and there. Jungkook then raised his right hand to calm the crowd, the room instantly became silent.934Please respect copyright.PENANA48SBKAYLon
"Thank you very much for the warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen. I hope we can cooperate well in the future. This company's incredible reputation precedes you, and I'm really eager to take a part in your successful journey." The employees applauded him.934Please respect copyright.PENANASH0xlCbeYK
"Although I'm more a practical person myself, but I won't lie to you guys that I believe something happened once I entered this room. My gut told me that we can get along together," the audience laughed at Jungkook's joke. He then continued.934Please respect copyright.PENANAdCNi0Dpsdp
"I am so honored and again, I feel lucky (Daeji saw his eyes wandered for something. When Jungkook's eyes found her, he smiled again. Successfully made the female employees sighed in the process) I am really really lucky..."934Please respect copyright.PENANAcXvIOYuQxn
Daeji's heart skipped a beat. Oh my, did this really happen? She pinched her hand and the pain coming told her that it wasn't a dream at all...934Please respect copyright.PENANA36V2OcNSgz
