The day of RFA's party is actually coming today. You are quite nervous. This is the first grant party where you are taking a big part in it. There are various types of anxiety in your mind. What if something is going in the wrong direction? What if the guests wouldn't come? These kinds of thoughts worry you so much.
The RFA's group chat is hyped up. Everyone is so excited about today's party. They are looking forward to the party but also to meeting you. It would be your first time meeting Zen, Seven, and Yoo Sung. Just like always, Zen is showing up early for the preparation. Of course, it makes Jae Hee really happy to get Zen's picture early in the morning.
"I am so happy that the party can be held again. But I am not pleased that Zen got the chance to meet you directly. " Ju Min gives his response to the overly excited Zen for the day.
"Hey Mr. Trust Fund Kid.... You know, it is not the time for you to get jealous of me. You meet Hyu Ri every day, and you are even dating her now! You are being funny." Zen is the only member of the RFA who opposes the relationship between you and Ju Min. You didn't know that he was acting so just to mess with Ju Min or because he really took an interest in you. But you didn't care about it too much because you are not interested.
"Well yeah...I won't deny that dating her made me a lucky man, but I'm sorry you're still single when you're so eager to date. Oops" Ju Min is adding oil to the fire by messing with Zen.
He does enjoy teasing this actor so much. It makes them easily involved in a quarrel. But honestly, you think that they actually have a close relationship. Watching the two men bickering like that is really fun. It makes you less nervous about the party. After messing around with Zen, Ju Min gives you a phone call.
"How are you feeling?" He asks you curiously. You tell him that you were so nervous before. But after watching his bickering with Zen, you feel better. He chuckles at hearing that.
"Did I entertain you with that?" His laugh is lively.
"I can entertain you even more. Could you open the door? " His question makes you wonder. You tilt your head and peek at the door.
"My door?" You are still puzzled.
"Yes love.... I am in front of your apartment. " Ju Min informs you. You walk quickly toward your door and there he is, standing in front of your apartment while bringing some dresses early in the morning.
"What is that?" He explains that he prepares the best dress for you to wear at the party. But he doesn't know which one would suit you best. So he brings around 10 dresses for you to try.
You frown at your eyebrows and it makes him nervous. Did he make another mistake now? He doesn't want you to feel like you are being controlled by him again. He doesn't want to mess up.
"You don't like it, Em?"He asks you timidly. He slowly lowered his hand and tried to hide the dress.
"No... Actually, I love it. I've been wondering what to wear for the party, and you gave me the best choice. Thank you, Ju Min......" You hug his neck and lead him to enter your apartment.
Actually, you have been spending the whole night choosing what outfit you should wear for the day. You tried to shop for something but didn't find any dresses that suited your taste. Ju Min... He has good eyes. The dress of his choice suits you all and you like the style. You try to put on the dresses one by one while Ju Min evaluates them. The two of you agree on the most fabulous dress.
The party began at noon, and Ju Min dressed to look like a prince charming, with you as his special princess.When you reach the destination, Jae Hee is the first person who gets there. She is so wonderful. She prepares everything thoroughly.
Soon you'll see Seven come with Yoo Sung. You recognize them right away. The two boys are really cheerful. Next, Zen is the last member of the RFA to come. He looks like a walking statue. He is so handsome and eye-catching. While Ju Min looks like a prince of a black knight. Zen is a prince with a white horse. Jae Hee's eyes were sparkling with excitement when her idol finally arrived.
"Wow... Hyu Ri.... Hi, you are more beautiful than I ever thought. I am Zen." The man is extending his hand to you. You are about to greet and shake his hand. But your boyfriend is interrupting you right away.
He is the one who shakes Zen's hand instead of yours. Seven and Yoo Sung laugh loudly at seeing Zen's irritating face and Ju Min's silly act.
"Why are you being so childish, Mr. Han?" Jae Hee criticizes her boss.
"Because it's fun to watch... My woman likes it." Ju Min stated the sentences as if it was a very reasonable thing to do so.
"Stop pretending to be romantic and calling her your woman; it doesn't suit you at all!" Zen protests the CEO again.
"They are really like children. We are younger than them, but they are like children more than we are. Oh, come on, I'm supposed to be the one who makes people laugh." At that time, Seven joins the two men and makes the conversation become louder. He even asks Yoo Sung to join him.
"Come on. Let me be the cute one here." Yoo Sung was wailing to join the group. He is the youngest of the four men. Jae Hee is annoyed by their childishness. No matter how old a man is, they will always have a child's soul inside them.
"Let's go, Hyu Ri... The guests will come at any moment." As the only female member, Jae Hee tries to make friends and escape from the boys.
You actually didn't mind the boys' silly act? They had not seen each other for a long time. It is understandable that they have become enthusiastic. But you can also understand Jae Hee's point of view. She was always a serious woman to begin with. She doesn't want to mess around at the party. Even a little bit of humor wouldn't hurt.
The guests come from various backgrounds. Businessmen, dignitaries, and people of high society are mostly recommended by Ju Min. He also invites Chairman Han, who brings around Glam Choi and Sarah, who tag along. There is also some kind of community of animal lovers, writers, artists, etc. that is recommended by Jae Hee.
As a musical actor, Zen recommends people who have a similar background to his work. There are models, actors, and even some producers. Seven... He mostly suggested people with uncommon backgrounds, like hackers and people who have a peculiar taste. Yoo Sung brings out people from the gaming community and some college students. This place has become a great place to establish a new variety of relationships.
You, as the newbie here, didn't have a lot of recommendations from people. The only person who was originally invited by you is a professional photographer, Ryan M. Han Ryu Min. He comes along with Kim Ha Na.
"Good afternoon, Lee Hyu Ri-ssi. We meet again." Ha Na greets you friendly. You welcome her and Ryu Min, showing your hospitality. You thanks the couple for coming to the party.
"You look gorgeous." The younger girl praises you. You give her the same compliment. She looks beautiful, angelic but energetic. She almost makes you feel insecure with her compliments; you don't think that you look any better than her.
"Ah... I need a bathroom. Please accompany Ryu Min while I am gone. " she beg you for an unbelievable favor.
"What?" you ask her in disbelief. However, the younger girl is already walking away quickly.Is it even natural to hand over your fiance to another woman? You even feel that she discovered your feelings toward Ryu Min before. Did you get it wrong? She wouldn't leave you alone with Ryu Min so easily if she sensed something between the two of you.
The sudden departure of the fiancee makes the remaining one feel awkward. You and Ryu Min just stand side by side rigidly.
"You are so flawless today." The man tries to break the ice between you. You stroke your neck and thank him shyly. You still didn't like to be with him alone after everything that happened. You still feel the butterfly effect when he praises you. You still adore him.Why is it so hard to be casual around this man and let go of your feelings? You wonder.
Ju Min is in the middle of a conversation with a prospective business partner. He is irritated when he discovers that you are alone with his younger brother.He doesn't like how you awkwardly smile in front of him. He doesn't like how Ryu Min looks at you with loving eyes. He doesn't like the fact that the two of you love each other, even though you weren't aware of it. He wants to leave his conversation and head to your place, but he is stopped by Jae Hee.
Ju Min is the MC of today's event. This grant party attracted some reporters to write some news about it. Even if he wants to go straight to you, he can't. It is time for him to lead the event. Ju Min walks toward the stage with a heavy step. He led the event right away.
"Good afternoon, everyone. I am the CEO of CNR's company, Han Ju Min imnida. " He introduces himself with a deep masculine voice. It attracts everyone's attention. At your first meeting at his office, his manner of introducing himself, his voice, which conveys his words, is exactly what he did. It makes you smile. You are feeling nostalgic about the accident that occurred during your first meeting.
Ju Min thanks everyone who attended the party. He explains the benefits of this party and etc. He looks really cool and charismatic. You can't believe that the man on stage is someone who would ever take an interest in you.
"I hope all of you can enjoy the party and build a great connection with everyone here. And before I leave this stage, I want to make a clear confirmation, which can be written by the reporters here. " Ju Min's last sentences make all of us curious. You and the other RFA members are staring at each other. None of you know about this and can't predict what he will tell everyone here.
On the other hand, Ha Na is staring at her reflection in the mirror. She is still in the ladies' toilet. She takes a printed piece of paper from her bag and sighs heavily. She is certain about this. The paper shows a picture of Ryu Min's work in his private hidden room. Kim Ha Na discovered it a long time ago and his gigantic work, which shows your smiling face,
She knew all along about Ryu Min's true feelings. He never loved her. She has been chasing him since high school. She falls in love with Ryu Min's bright and kind character. He was always so angelic, and she loved him. She knew all along that the man only regarded her as a sister. But she never gave up on her feelings toward him.
One day, she decides to confess her love to the man. He did explain that she is just like a sister to him and he loves her no more than that, countless times. But the younger girl is stubborn, so she persuades him to give her a chance. She told him that she could make Ryu Min look at her with a romantic feeling someday, so she begged for a chance.
Ryu Min, the gentle man who, looking at her invincible effort, finally surrenders. He agreed to be her boyfriend and started to treat her as an object of interest. He tried his best to be a good boyfriend for her, but it was all before he met you.
One day, on their regular date, Ha Na discovers that Ryu Min keeps staring at his phone, which is unusual for him. He looks so happy. He is gazing at his screen phone with gentle, loving eyes. He never looks at her like that. That happened after he got to know you.
On the day of his graduation, when he introduced Ha Na as his girlfriend to you, Ha Na caught his eyes filled with agony. He is so hurt and broken. It was the first time Ha Na saw his sorrow. He always appeared as a cheerful person, and it hurt her so much when she knew that he was sunk in grief.
Even after such a long time, when Ha Na saw you at dinner, she knew Ryu Min was still harboring feelings for you. The person he loves is you, and always only you. But Ha Na knows he would never tell you his true feelings. It is all because of Ha Na, because he is too good for Ha Na.
He doesn't want to hurt her, who always stays by his side. He can't bear to watch her being hurt. because she is like a little sister to him. So he sacrifices himself to being hurt alone by burying his own feelings. But Ha Na can't stand it anymore. She can't accept him as granted again. She sincerely loved him. Ha Na wants to see him happy. He shouldn't put others before himself anymore. And she knew... His happiness is only you. So she decides to reveal the truth to you.
Meanwhile, everyone's attention is focused on Ju Min now. The reporters are ready to catch the best moment to make their highlight news.
"Lately there are so many articles that talk about my engagement with Sarah. I want to confirm that it was fake news. I had never known her or been acquainted with her before." Ju Min sentences make the girl, Sarah, become the focus of the cameras. The reporters are constantly taking her annoyed face, so the girl decides to leave the party earlier.
"It is just an arranged marriage, which didn't get my approval. The fake news about it has a huge effect on my company and my beloved one." Now the man of the show is diverting the cameras back to himself. People start to wonder who the beloved person is.
Somehow, Ryu Min, who got a spoiler from his brother, can predict where this will go. He is staring at you with a restless heart.
"I don't want to cause discomfort to her with this kind of news anymore, so here I am, trying to take advantage of the party to introduce my only woman to the public. Lee Hyu Ri. I am sorry for surprising you like this. " Ju Min is talking to you. People start to search for you and wonder about who you are.
Ju Min gets down from the stage and walks confidently toward your direction. Everyone's eyes are following him. He sends an intimidating signal toward Ryu Min, who is standing beside you. Once Ju Min reaches you, he gets down on his knees and pulls out a tiny box from his pocket. He opened it and revealed a diamond ring inside.
"Let's get married," he says in front of everyone.You can't believe it. You almost feel like dying when unbearable light bombards you to take your picture.
At this point, Ha Na entered the room. She is panicking. She never predicted that Ju Min would openly propose to you on this day. She looks in Ryu Min's direction. He looks so lost. Soon, he turned around and left the party.
Ju Min is staring at you intently, waiting for your response. All you knew at that time was that everyone was watching you. You rigidly extend your hand and make him smile. He puts the ring on your finger; it suits you nicely. Ju Min got back on his feet, feeling really pleased. You can only smile at him awkwardly. You only wish that everyone would stop looking at you.
Ha Na is running outside to chase after her fiance. She asks him where he is going with a worried face. He looks so heartbroken, she can't hold it anymore.
"I'm going home because I don't feel well right now." Ryu Min informed her with a weak voice. The man didn't wait for Ha Na to give her response and turned his body to go away, far away from this place. Ha Na is staring at his back with teary eyes.
