"This is indeed a beautiful garden . "
"Let's go over there . "
Gun-Ho held Seol-Bing's hand . He was not sure if it was an actress thing but her hand was small considering her height . Seol-Bing didn't pull out her hand this time .
Seol-Bing seemed to be more open to Gun-Ho, maybe because he was the one who Ms . Mi-Lyeong Lee wanted to introduce to her for a marriage proposal . She still remembered every word that Ms . Mi-Lyeong Lee used in describing Gun-Ho .
'You'd better find a decent man and marry him while you are still popular . You can't maintain the top star position forever . It won't last long . What? Marry a guy who has a wealthy family? You won't even able to breathe there . I have no doubt that you will get suffocated . Money? We have it too . But that Gun-Ho Goo person is different . He is amazing actually . He is a self-made successful man . He has a good temper and manners . He is at a good age to marry as well . He will let you keep your career . That's a big plus . '
When Seol-Bing first met Gun-Ho, she didn't really believe everything he said, especially about his wealth . However, since another actress who had been in the entertainment field for a long time—Ms . Mi-Lyeong Lee—spoke highly of Gun-Ho, Seol-Bing started feeling interested in him . Moreover, Gun-Ho was somewhat a good-looking man . He looked much better than the E Group's president's son .
Seol-Bing took out her dark sunglasses from her purse .
"No one would recognize you in this dark…"
"I'd better take every precaution I could . Once words get out, the damage would be really painful . "
Gun-Ho and Seol-Bing went to Satsuki passing by Sekishin-Tei while holding each other's hand .
"Sekishin-Tei is probably a restaurant, and Satsuki looks like a coffee shop . "
"I think so . I smelled food when I passed Sekishin-Tei . I don't smell it here . "
Gun-Ho and Seol-Bing took a seat at a vacant table at Satsuki . It was late at night and the lighting at the café was off . Seol-Bing took off her dark sunglasses .

"It's a shame that you have to cover your beautiful face with those dark sunglasses . "
Seol-Bing laughed .
Gun-Ho and Seol-Bing were sitting at a table in the garden area of the café . The table was decorated with a flower vase . The vase was long and narrow and there was one chrysanthemum in it . Gun-Ho took the flower out .
"I love you now and I will love you forever . "
Gun-Ho handed the flower to Seol-Bing while making the statement .
Seol-Bing laughed loudly and accepted the flower that Gun-Ho gave to her .
"You are such a funny man, which cannot usually be seen in a typical businessman . "
"You accepted the flower . That means you accepted my heart toward you . "
Gun-Ho then hugged Seol-Bing and kissed her on her cheek .
"Oh!"
Seol-Bing didn't expect it and she looked at him with widened eyes in surprise .
Seol-Bing placed the flower back into the vase quietly and she stood up from her seat .

"It's getting late . I'd better take off now . "
"The night in Tokyo seemed to just start . "
"I have a morning schedule with my staff tomorrow . "
"Stay a bit longer with me . Let's have a seat on the bench over there . I will get you a taxi to the Shinjuku Prince Hotel . "
Gun-Ho and Seol-Bing sat on a bench looking over a koi pond .
Gun-Ho slowly hugged Seol-Bing again . Seol-Bing leaned against Gun-Ho . She looked tired .
"Ms . Seol-Bing, do you live with your parents?"
"My parents live in Bangbae Town and I live in Cheongdam Town . "
"Bangbae Town? Is that where you grew up?"
"Yes . I went to Suhmoon Girls' High School in Bangbae Town . "
"Hmm . That's right . I read your profile on the Internet . According to your profile, after graduating from Suhmoom Girls' High School, you went to Chungang University majoring in drama and cinema . "
"I did very well in high school and I applied for Seoul National University with a political science major but I was denied admission to it . I was going to spend another year preparing for SAT once again, so I started studying in Daechi Town, but the study was hard and people around me kept telling me that I'd better get into another university with the drama and cinema major . That's how I ended up at Chungang University . "
"You gave it up so easily . "

"Some of my friends told me that even though I successfully became a diplomat after studying political science, I might be sent to one of the third world countries, and my life wouldn't be that beautiful . My parents were actually happy when I told them that I decided to apply for a university with the drama and cinema major . My uncle actually convinced me to do so as well . "
"What did your parents do for a living at that time?"
"My father was a TV station PD . Enough about me . Why don't you talk about you, President Goo?"
"My hometown is Incheon City, and I went to school in Bucheon City . I graduated from Zhejiang University; I think I told you that before . "
"So you went to China to study right after you graduated high school?"
"Umm, yes…"
Gun-Ho didn't tell her that he actually went to a low-ranked college in a provincial city because his high school grade was not high enough to get him admitted to a college within Seoul City and that he then graduated from a cyber college . "
"So, your parents are in Incheon City right now . "
"Right . My parents retired and they continue to live in the same city . They are living in a condo in Guwol Town, Incheon City . I live in TowerPalace in Dogok Town . "
"Did you say TowerPalace? A friend of mine is living there too . "
Once Seol-Bing started opening her mind and talking, she didn't stop talking . She looked somewhat arrogant at first, but once she became close to Gun-Ho, she acted just like any other girl at her age . At that moment, an old couple walked passing by the bench that Gun-Ho and Seol-Bing were sitting on . Seol-Bing quickly put her dark sunglasses back on .
The old couple looked like Korean tourists . The wife glanced at Seol-Bing and said to her husband,
"Japanese women wear sunglasses even at night, huh?"
Seol-Bing covered her mouth and started laughing, and Gun-Ho laughed along with her .
Gun-Ho hugged Seol-Bing tight . He could smell her perfume .
"Let's meet in Korea more often rather than in Japan from now on . "
Seol-Bing smiled without giving any response .
"I will send you a text . We can meet at a book café on the rooftop of my building . It's a really nice place . Or, we can meet at my office in Sinsa Town . Or, I can come to Cheongdam Town where you live if you like . "
Seol-Bing looked at her watch .
"Oh, it's after midnight . I gotta go . "
Gun-Ho talked to the hotel's front desk to get a taxi for Seol-Bing .
As Seol-Bing got in the taxi and she was about to leave, Gun-Ho waved his hand . Seol-Bing opened the window half down and waved her hand too .
Gun-Ho thought that he could have done better that night .
"I should have bought something for her, something that she will remember the moment with me with .
