Chapter 168
Gun-Ho was sitting at the café inside New Otani Hotel . He kept checking the hour by looking at his Omega watch . He felt like time goes very slowly today .

"It's already several minutes past noon . Why is she not here yet?"
Gun-Ho was waiting for Mori Aikko and she hadn't showed up yet .
"Maybe I am not an appropriate sponsor for her since I am a foreigner and I can't even properly communicate with her in any language . It was my fault insisting on being her sponsor just because I have money . She is the most famous geisha in Japan after all . I was being thoughtless . "
Gun-Ho regretted to suggest Mori Aikko and Mamsan that he wanted to be Mori Aikko's sponsor .
Gun-Ho felt sorry to Mamsan Segawa Joonkko from the bar and the Korean restaurant owner—Ji-Yeon Choi from Akasaka who tried to help Gun-Ho to become Mori Aikko's sponsor .
"I acted just like a nouveau riche . I used to hate the nouveau riche from Gangnam when I was in Noryangjin studying for the government job exam while working as a factory worker . "
Gun-Ho kept thinking that he shouldn't have asked to be Mori Aikko's sponsor in the first place . He felt like an idiot .

Gun-Ho looked around the café in the hotel .
He could see a few men in the café, who looked like businessmen wearing suits . He also saw a young lady who was wearing jeans with a blue silk blouse . She looked like a college student, and she entered the café .
"A college student who could afford to have a coffee in a café, located in this expensive hotel… Her parents must be very wealthy . "
That college student-looking young lady was looking around the café with her hair blowing . She seemed to be looking for someone .
"She is a very pretty student . She has a gorgeous face, maybe because she is from a wealthy Japanese family . "

When that young lady saw Gun-Ho, she smiled and walked towards him .
"Koko ni suwatte mo īdesu ka? (Can I sit here)?"

Gun-Ho couldn't understand why this student was talking to him . He looked at her closely .
"Oh! Mori Aikko!"
Gun-Ho had only seen her in Kimono before . He had never expected to see her in jeans with her long hair down like that . He almost couldn't recognize her .
"Hai!"
Gun-Ho gestured for her to sit on a chair at the other side of the table by pointing the chair .

"Okuretesumimasen (I'm sorry that I'm late) . "
Mori Aikko bowed to Gun-Ho politely before sitting on the chair . Mori Aikko smiled slightly at Gun-Ho .
"She is absolutely gorgeous and bottomlessly cute . "
While appreciating Mori Aikko's youth and her beauty, Gun-Ho suddenly became self-conscious about his own appearance . He felt like he was fat and being out of shape . He looked down at his belly while holding a cup of coffee . His belly seemed to have bulged a bit .
"Oh my gosh, what am I doing here? She is only 20 years old and I am a 35 years old man!"
Gun-Ho felt sorry for Mori Aikko .

Gun-Ho started talking with Mori Aikko by writing . They both knew how to read and write Chinese characters . Gun-Ho studied in China and Mori Aikko was born and raised in Japan . Chinese characters became the medium for them to communicate with each other .

"Did you have lunch?"

"Imadani (Not yet), Madadesu (Not yet) . "
This time, Mori Aikko wrote a Chinese character on a piece of blank paper . When Gun-Ho understood what she wrote, she became so excited and clapped silently . Whenever she laughed, Gun-Ho could see her snaggletooth that was commonly seen among Japanese women . Her snaggletooth was slightly covered by her lips, which only added to her charm . She was very cute with her snaggletooth .
Gun-Ho looked at Mori Aikko's neck, who was laughing . Her fair skin was dazzling .

Gun-Ho took her to a steak restaurant located inside the hotel and ordered steak and wine .
Mori Aikko was not good at cutting up the steak .
"I will cut them for you . "
Gun-Ho cut her steak into small pieces so she could easily eat .
"Here we go . "
Gun-Ho speared a piece of steak with a fork and handed it to Mori Aikko . She chewed the piece of steak that Gun-Ho cut for her . She looked extremely cute .

After lunch, they walked out of the hotel building and took a walk at Yoyogi Park .
"Mori Aikko, I will protect you and take care of you for the rest of my life . "
"Really?"
Gun-Ho held Mori Aikko's hand; it took Gun-Ho a lot of courage to do so . Gun-Ho's hand was rough with calluses—caused by his previous and prolonged manual work in a factory . On the other hand, Mori Aikko's hand was very tender and silky .
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Yoyogi Park . Gun-Ho was walking while holding Mori Aikko's wrist when he thought that the flower would look good on her . Gun-Ho plucked a cherry blossom and put it in her hair .

"Hold on, Gū daitōryō-san (President Goo) . "
Mori Aikko pulled out a small hand mirror from her purse and looking at herself in the mirror to see the flower on her hair .
"You don't have to check it . You look beautiful . "
Mori Aikko smiled at what Gun-Ho said . Gun-Ho was not sure whether Mori Aikko understood his Korean or not . Mori Aikko was a bit different from other young people of her age . It seemed that she didn't have a chance to properly socialize and learn about society in general since she had stayed mostly in Gion and spent most of her time learning dancing there . She didn't go to school and that made her more pure and innocent . She seemed extremely pure to Gun-Ho .

Gun-Ho and Mori Aikko sat by the pond in Yoyogi Park .
"Are you okay? Aren't your legs tired yet?"
Mori Aikko shook her head from side to side while laughing .
They started talking by writing again .
"Mori Aikko, I love you . "
"I do like you as well, Gū daitōryō-san . I like the fact that you are a self-made successful man . "
Gun-Ho put his arm around her shoulders .
"Can you write down the lyrics of the song you sang last time at the bar?"
Mori Aikko started writing the lyrics . Gun-Ho looked at Mori Aikko who was sitting by the pond while writing something on a paper . He thought that she looked more like a college freshman who was sitting on a college campus, rather than a geisha .
'Whew . She could be a college student at her age . Why did her destiny lead her to the life of a geisha and let her dance until late at night in a bar . '

Mori Aikko handed the piece of paper to Gun-Ho . It seemed that she was done writing the lyrics .
Gun-Ho read the lyrics . Gun-Ho could read Katakana and Hiragana in Japanese . He might not fully understand what it means but he could read . "
"Can you sing it like the last time you sang?"
Mori Aikko stared at the pond for a moment, and she started singing softly . It was a sad melody just like her sad fate .

"Anata no unmei ni meikakuna owari wa arimasenga, anata no kaori o sōzō shite kudasai… (There is no definite end to your destiny, but conceive your scent…) . "

Gun-Ho started singing along with Mori Aikko while looking at the lyrics that she wrote down for him . Before they realized, they were singing together . Mori Aikko quietly held Gun-Ho's arm .

"It's about to rain . Let's get out of here . "
Mori Aikko nodded .
The couple walked out of Yoyogi Park and headed to Shibuya . They bought an umbrella on the way and kept walking towards Shibuya .
They felt a bit cold as it was raining . They held each other as they shared one umbrella . Gun-Ho thought he could hear Mori Aikko's heart beating .
"Are you feeling cold?"
"I'm fine . "
"Do you want to go somewhere and get some warm food?"
"It's okay . Let's just walk to Koendori . "
