"Hi Jean, It was nice meeting you too and I would love to stay and have a conversation but I've got work today", she smiles at him, small eyes closing at the action and he scrunches his nose back at her smiling cutely and nodding his head in understanding. 

"Oh Good morning Hyung," Jean voices out in surprise as he gazes behind her back. She doesn't turn her head to look at the person but the smell of a vanilla-scented cologne fills up her nostrils when the man, leans on one side, grabbing an apron from behind the counter. His shoulder slightly brushes her side and she tenses up noticeably subconsciously taking a very small step away from her. 

She turns her head slightly to look at him and immediately sucks in a breath, feeling nervous of him, a good type of nervous. For the first time in about an year. She stares at his side profile as he talks to her neighbour about something in Korean. What a pretty man. 

"Oh hey, Ivy?" He asks turning his attention to the girl again. His bright smile piercing right through into her eyes as he pushes back his raven black hair which were swept to the side, exposing his forehead which for sure made him more attractive if he already wasn't. Black shirt tightening around his arms and chest as his hands move up and down, tying the apron around him. He didn't seem that attractive yesterday probably because of the dark or maybe because of the fact that she was beyond tired to notice anything and the mask on his face wasn't helping. 

"Hi, um, J?" She asks awkwardly rubbing her arm with the other one. 

You know those kind of attractive men that make both men and women in a room sit upright and fix their hair? Yeah, he was one of those. 

"Oh it's Han, Jung Han." He says passing by from behind her and the palm of his hand brushes against her clothed shoulder but she shivers anyway. 

She nods smiling out of politeness as she takes her iced coffee in her hand, planning to turn around and calm her thumping heart. 

"She's my neighbour." Jean boasts pointing to himself slightly at which Jung Han just gives a surprise nod before he speaks. 

"Ah I see, I guess it's good then, we'll running into each other often then." 

"Yeah I guess." She says feeling even more nervous from the idea, the accent in his english which was obviously making him more adorable doing no help. 

"I'll be off then," she points to the door with her thumb before turning back and rushing out of the shop. 

"Hyung I think she doesn't like you very much," Jean says as soon as the referred girl is out of the shop, biting his lip with furrowed brows, worried as to why someone would not like his Hyung. 

"Oh really?" Han asks, a little dissappointment in his voice as he rests his elbows on the counter and chin placed on both upturned palms. 

"Either that or she liked you too much," He comments, a teasing edge to his tone. 

The said girl, on the other hand was very much surprised at her own behaviour as she ran to catch a bus to work on time, her heels making it harder plus the coffee in her hand? Not helping. 

Standing in front of the main entrance of the company, she sucks in a deep breath before moving inside, confidence and strength oozing out of the look on her face and each step she takes towards the reception. 

"Good morning, I'm here for the editor position." She says smiling confidently when the woman behind the reception looks up at her. She stares at her face with a fascinated look before getting to her feet and nodding in acknowledgement. 

"Miss Ivy, right?" She asks skimming through a bunch of papers on her desks. Ivy mutters a small 'yes' as the woman hands her a paper filled with casual phrases written in korean with english translations.

"Here, I'll take you to your office, these will help you if you get in a tough situation."

"Oh alright, thank you." The girl extends her towards Ivy which she accepts bowing slightly. 

"You're welcome, you can ask me for help anytime, my name is Lisa. Mr. Kim is with an acquaintance right now, he'll be available in a few minutes, till then let me give you a tour." 

"Yeah, that sounds nice," Ivy steps out of her white themed office with her coffee in her hand, closely following Lisa as she explains what the various rooms around her office are for. 

"And this is Mr. Kim's office and the one with the white door in the corner is Mr. Kim's office." 

"Uh lisa? I think you made a mistake", Ivy says biting down on her lower lip. 

"Oh no I didn't, we have two Mr. Kims in our company, one being the director and the other one being our main author. They're really good friends, so it was a mutual decision to have their offices next to each other." She nods her head in understanding, eyes curiously scanning the whole corridor while she sips on her coffee mindlessly. 

"Ha! How about that huh?" A strong voice booms through the corridor as she hears quick footsteps behind her. Wincing at the noise made by the person, she turns around slightly agitated and bumps into a tall man's back, stumbling backwards when Lisa, supports her from behind but the damage had already happened. 

Her iced coffee was splayed upon her white blouse, most definitely ready to leave a huge stain behind. In other words, her blouse completely ruined, hands and neck dripping in the cold coffee. 

"Oh my god, I am sorry, I wasn't looking, let me clean it up for you." The man turns around sighing and a guilty look on his face, curses leaving his thick lips. 

"Please just don't touch me." It wasn't like she was allergic to human contact or something but men just ticked her off plus the fact that the said man had already made it to her list of people to punch in the face if chance given was not a good thing for him. 

He nods in understanding before handing her his handkerchief and smiling charmingly wich would've impressed the girl if she was actually paying attention. 

"Oh I'm sorry, here, by the way, I never saw you before?" He asks as she cleans her neck and hands, with a frown on her face. 

"I'm new." She staes simply handing him his handkerchief back. 

"Oh, Hi its nice to meet you," he says extending a hand towards her. 

"Get me a new blouse." She states, turning around to leave when he slightly taps on her shoulder, stopping her mid-way. 

"How will I get you a new blouse if I don't even know your name?" He smiles again, this time her eyes linder on the dips on his cheeks. The dimples, oh lord. 

"My name is Ivy, I'm the new editor for this company." 

"Oh, so you're my new editor?" 

"Your?" 

"Yeah, My editor, I'm the main author for the company. Kim Nathan."
