"Gayageum? I love to hear that again . I truly enjoy Asian melody . Hahaha . Since you are here, President Goo, we should go listening to Shamisen . "

"I actually want to see the dancing geisha . "
"Oh, that geisha who looked like a fairy . "
"I'll treat you guys this time since I'm here for business . "
"Haha . Sounds good then . "

Gun-Ho came back to the hotel to take a short rest before his evening schedule started . He would meet Amiel again in the evening at 7 pm . They would go to the bar that they went to the last time Gun-Ho visited Japan . The interpreter followed Gun-Ho to New Otani Hotel where Gun-Ho was staying .
Gun-Ho asked for the interpreter .
"How long have you been living in Japan?"
"I've been here for about 7 years . "
"Are you a graduate student?"
"No, I am a college student . "
"You have been here for 7 years, but you are still in college?"
"Yes . I often took the time off from college to work part-time . "
"Hmm . I see . "
Gun-Ho took out a white envelope from the pocket of his jacket and handed it to the interpreter .
"Have some food or drink with this and spend some time somewhere and meet me at 6:30 pm here . I will need your interpretation during dinner time . "

"Thank you, sir . "
The interpreter gave a deep bow to Gun-Ho .

Gun-Ho sat at a café inside the hotel and had a cup of coffee, and he was thinking .
He was not sure if it was the right way to live a life to spend several years at another country to study like the interpreter, or to spend several years studying for the government job exam while living in a tiny OneRoom like himself or many other Korean young people .

When it was 6:30 pm, the chauffeur arrived at the hotel, who was sent by Amiel . The interpreter came to the hotel as well . Gun-Ho wore bright-colored shirts inside his jacket, that he purchased earlier at a store inside New Otani Hotel .
"Okay, let's go . "
"Are we really going to a bar?"
"Yes . Since you have worked in a company for a long time, you must have been at a bar, right?"
"Actually, no . Not that kind of bar where girls accompany customers while drinking . I have heard that there are places like that . "
The sales director looked at Gun-Ho's back as he walked behind Gun-Ho . Gun-Ho looked big like a giant that night . The sales director once thought that Gun-Ho—a young man— made money purely by luck by investing in real estate and acquired Mulpasaneop with the proceeds, and he was displeased with all that . However, that was not how Gun-Ho acquired the company . Moreover, he was 15 years older than Gun-Ho, and he grew up in a somewhat wealthy family where his father worked at an executive level in a big company . He didn't have to work when he was in high school so he could only focus on studying . He graduated from a decent college—Hanyang University in Seoul—and had worked at several different companies before he finally joined Mulpasaneop .
"I have a 40 pyung large condo in newly developed Asan City, and I am a director in a mid-size company . I was so proud of what I have achieved so far . However, President Goo made me realize what I have is not much . I've never been to a bar like that before . President Goo is just on another level . Moreover, he is very knowledgeable about the work as well . The previous Mulpasaneop President Se-Young Oh's son— Hak-Seon Oh—of course, cannot compete with President Goo . "

Gun-Ho who was walking in front of the sales director turned around, and gestured to the sales director to come quickly; he was smiling at him . The sales director suddenly got shivers up his spine .
"President Goo seemed to be generous and tender; however, he could be very cold and brutal if necessary . Even if he is smiling now, we never know what he is hiding behind that smile . I have to be very careful . "

The sales director pulled himself together and quickly walked towards Gun-Ho .

The bamboo trees at the bar's yard looked greener than the last time Gun-Ho had seen them .
Gun-Ho told the sales director that,
"Even in Japan, you can't just come to a bar like this because you want to . They accept our reservation because President Amiel made the reservation . "
"Oh, I see . "
The sales manager and the interpreter were looking around the bar in amazement .

Gun-Ho's party sat on the floor that was covered with tatami . The room door was open and a middle-aged lady entered the room; she was wearing kimono . She kneeled on the floor and bowed .
"President Goo, it has been a long time since the last time you visited us . I am the hostess of this bar— Segawa Joonkko . "
"You are getting younger every day, Joonkko-san . "
Amiel made a joke to her .
"President Amiel is good at making jokes in Japanese style . Hahaha . "
The hostess laughed while covering her mouth with her hand . Gun-Ho thought that the way the lady laughed looked very Japanese, and that made him laugh .
"How have you been, Mamsan?"
"Your presence makes our bar shinier, President Goo . Your shirt inside your suit looks fabulous . Hahaha . "

The lady laughed with her hand covering her mouth again .

Amiel told the lady .
"Since President Goo is here, please bring the best dishes you could prepare tonight . "
"What about liquor? Would you like to have western liquor or Japanese sake?"
Gun-Ho responded for Amiel while taking off his jacket,
"Well, since we are in Japan, let's have Japanese sake . "
"Yes, sir . I will prepare Kubota Manjyu (name of liquor) . "
While she was saying it, she hastily stood up and took Gun-Ho's jacket and hung it on the wall .

The dishes started coming out .
Gun-Ho and Amiel were having a good time while drinking and talking and enjoying each other's company . The sales director couldn't even think of chipping in .
"Have some food . I guess you're too busy to even eat since you're interpreting for me . Haha . Director Kim, have some food . "
"Yes, sir . "
Amiel called for the hostess .
"Let us hear Shamisen now . "
"Sure . I will be right back . "

Three young women who were wearing Yukata entered the room and started playing Shamisen . Amiel seemed to be fully enjoying Shamisen with his eyes closed . He seemed to truly like Asian melody . When the ladies played three music with Shamisen, Mamsan came in the room again .
"Is there anything else you need, sir?"
"We do need one more thing . "
"What is it?"
"We want to see Mori Aikko's dance . "
"Hahaha . I knew you would say that . "
Mamsan clapped and a young lady who was wearing colorful Kimono entered the room .
It was Mori Aikko who was the most famous dancing geisha in Gion (Kyoto's famous geisha district) .

Mori Aikko kneeled on the floor and placed a hand fan that she carried with her, in front of her .
"I am Mori Aikko . "
Mori Aikko placed her head on the floor deep enough that her nose almost touched the floor .
"Good to see you again, Mori Aikko!"
When Gun-Ho said her name, Mori Aikko lifted her head and looked at Gun-Ho . She then smiled at Gun-Ho; it seemed that she recognized him .
The sales director's and the interpreter's jaws dropped .
