5 Chapter 5: The Cold Elegant Prince

It is Lim So Hyang first day of work at the museum. She goes into the office that is managing the whole affairs for museum. The environment is very quiet. Everybody is busy. Nobody care about her. She is just standing there. But then a young man just walk inside the office and say in a friendly manner,

"Hello miss, please go and sit in our meeting room"

So Hyang sits in the meeting for a few minutes, then the manager that has interviewed her and another lady come in.

"Ms Amy, this your new assistant, Ms Lim So Hyang. She is just graduated with History and Archaeology major."

"Yes, Mr Park"

"Ms So Hyang, this is Amy, and she will be the one to guide you and explain about the job."

"Hi"

"Hi"

Amy and So Hyang shake hands.

************

Amy is a good effective senior work colleague. She is a serious person. However, she teaches So Hyang about work and work environment. With her intelligence, So Hyang learn. But she and Amy do not talk much other than about work. In fact, people in her office seems don't want to interfere with her much. Only the manager sometimes smiles at her and the young man she met on her first day of work come and talk to her sometimes. He seems really friendly type. But his hair is pink which actually light up his whole cheerful face. Yes, he a tall good looking man. But he only come in the afternoon time and stay late because he is the one look after the network system of the building. But day by day, So Hyang gets to talk to the young man more. They become friends. His name is Lee Seokjin then. But So Hyang just calls him Jinnie.

He reminds her of Bunny when So Hyang got the chance to study in a high school with a scholarship. Not so many people wants to befriend her. But Bunny seemed to like her very much. They became friends and a lot of interest in historical things. Bunny is a quiet, calm, kind and gentle  person but she can be a talkative if she is really interested in the subject. Bunny comes from a very high family but never treated So Hyang as someone lower. 

So Hyang really misses Bunny. Since Bunny has gone to live in the royal house, they don't meet and talk much. How is Bunny doing?. So Hyang thinks.

But now it is lunch time, So Hyang prepares to leave for lunch.

But as she walks down the pavement, she the car with digits 15115 among cars that are parked along the streets. People can park along the street when they are visiting the buildings or cafes nearby.

So Hyang sees a handsome elegant and smart looking man comes out of the car and go into an expensive looking cafe. So Hyang goes to glass window of the café to peep about the man more.

The man is sitting with Jinnie (Seokjin). Are they friends too? So Hyang thinks.

But then the elegant man, the car owner seems to notice her. So she just move away.

She thinks, "Why am I stalking a guy?..omg....umm...but I need to make him feel bad somehow..but how...let's do something to his car...nahh...I don't dare to".

So then So Hyang just walk her own way.

One day, Seokjin/Jinnie seems to notice something on her desk. It is a photo of her and Bunny taken when they were still in high school.

So then, at the break when they were both at the office balcony one afternoon, Jinnie asks her about Bunny. "She is similar to someone I know."

So Hyang replies, "Bunny is a very beautiful creature inside out. Why? You just fall for her by seeing image? Well, she has a fiance already. You are late!.."

Jinnie laughs. "Well her name is very cute. Is she as sensitive as a bunny?"

"Not really, she's definetly delicate but no I don't think she is sensitive. She is a very determined person. She believes in herself very much and confident with herself both studies and communicating with people."

"Really", Seokjin says..

So Hyang continues, "The only time I actually finds her sensitive is when she is lying unconsciously in a department store. She said she met some men coming into women restroom. That makes her scared....but wait how did you guess she can be sensitive?"

Jinnie replies, "Oh, my friend who resembles her is a bit sensitive".

"Ummm, I see", says So Hyang.

"Ok, let's back to work" says Jinnie.

************

Bunny also misses So Hyang. There are so many things to do at the royal house. She really likes going to the garden, picking up the flowers and decorating her own room. She also has to learn a lot about the royal manners and palace rules. She talks a lot to her aunts Mi Mi and Mi Yeon are there as her guardians. But she is still lonely. And yet her supposed fiance seems to avoid her although he is living the same roof. Of coures, he does say hi whenever they meets randomly. But nothing more. Maybe she should ask the Queen to let So Hyang visit her sometimes?...

One morning, she just picks up the flowers from the garden and about enter to the house, she hears the playing from the inside. She really like the song so she goes and sees who is playing it.

It is pink haired guy!!

Why is he so rude to use other people property??

So she is about to go and stop him. Then she hears the Queen comes in and says,

"Son Jin, why are you playing the piano in the early morning?"

"Your majesty, I just feels somehow enjoys the morning melody so I try on piano".

The Queen smiles and then sees Bunny who looks alarmed.

"Morning dear",the Queen says.."By the way, yep..I haven't officially introduce you to Prince Seokjin yet because he is mostly outside."

"So, this is Prince Seokjin, Prince Siwan half brother"

Bunny is embarrassed but Prince Seokjin smiles to her.

"By the way, Son Jin" the Queen, continues, "have you taken that old radio to fix yet. You said you want to try it"

"Not yet, your highness," the young man replies, " but I will do it very soon". He is looking at Bunny. She looks away.

But Bunny remembers.

"Umm ..your majesty," she asks the Queen, " may I invite one of my best friend to visit here sometimes."

To which she gets the reply, "Yes, of course, dear".

So, So Hyang gets to visits the royal house.

She and Bunny walks happily around the royal garden. But then they happen to passed a car that is parked on their way.

So Hyang remembers it. Why is he here?

Bunny is busy looking at  flowers and picking them.

So Hyang goes near the car again...but when she turns to look back she sees a tall elegant man looking at her with puzzled.

"You are that girl who peeping at me at the café right?..why are you stalking me and why are you here?"

But just then Bunny just come and says,

"Hey, Hyangi, you are here, I wonder where are you?" But when she sees the prince she bow. The prince bow back.
