Gun-Ho asked Min-Hyeok, “Is it okay that you call your wife’s name like that?”
“It’s perfectly fine . In China, we call each other’s name in marriage . You know that, right?”
“Haha, that’s true . ”
“Dingding mentioned the other day that she wanted a Korean car—K3—from Kia . They are manufactured in a factory in China . ”
“Sure . You can get it in installments, right? She will need a car . She will also need a chauffeur, won’t she?”
“That won’t be necessary . Dingding can drive . She has her driver’s license . She is not a foreigner here unlike me, so she has no problem driving around on her own . ”
“I like her name—Dingding . It’s catchy . Maybe we can name the joint venture Dingding . It’s easy to call . ”
“Haha, you think so? Well, why not?”
“The machine no . 9 and no . 10 are fully working right now . I will send you ten tons of raw materials . See how much you can sell them in China . ”
“Before you send the raw materials to us, Dingding wants to visit Dyeon Korea’s factory . She wants to see how the raw materials are produced at the factory . It will help her to make a good sales pitch . ”
“That makes sense . Well, she is welcome here anytime . She can come even tomorrow . Why don’t you come with her? It has been a long time since you came to Korea, right?”
“Maybe I should . ”
“Yeah . You can go and visit Jae-Sik’s transportation company too once you are here . ”
“That sounds great . Okay, I will visit Korea with Dingding . ”
After getting off the phone with Min-Hyeok Kim, Gun-Ho recalled Min-Hyeok’s wife . The first and last time he saw her was at their wedding .

“She is tall and good looking . Since she is a Korean-Chinese, I’m sure she will do good sales work in China . ”
Gun-Ho would soon turn 37 years old, and he felt anxious .
“Everyone around me is already married except me . Min-Hyeok Kim, Jae-Sik Moon, and even Jong-Suk Park are married . Jong-Suk will soon become a father . I’m the only one without my own family . It seems that money doesn’t give me everything . ”
Gun-Ho sent a text message to Young-Eun Kim .
[It’s already Friday . I want to see you again . I will wait for you the day after tomorrow at Starbucks in front of Hansung University Station at 10:30 am . ]
Sunday came around .
The weather was not very clear . Gun-Ho looked outside the window . It looked like it would begin to snow anytime soon . Gun-Ho watched the weather forecast . It said it would snow today .
“The road could be slippery . I’m not sure if it is a good idea to go to the Fortress Wall of Seoul today . ”
Gun-Ho still went to Starbucks and waited for Young-Eun . He always felt nervous whenever he was waiting for her . That was probably because he knew Young-Eun was not into him yet .
As always, Gun-Ho was sitting in Starbucks while waiting for Young-Eun anxiously . Young-Eun came into Starbuck . She was wearing a red jacket .
“Let’s have a cup of coffee before we head out . ”
As Gun-Ho suggested, Young-Eun sat at the table with Gun-Ho .
“The red color looks really good on you . ”
“Thank you . ”
The two had their coffee while looking out of the window . It started snowing .

“Oh, my gosh . Look at the snow . ”
Young-Eun seemed excited . Her eyes were fixed on snow . She didn’t even lay her eyes on Gun-Ho while glaring at the snow .
“I really wanted to paint the snow…”
Young-Eun seemed to be reminiscing about her old days when she was still dreaming of becoming an artist .
When they almost finished coffee, Gun-Ho said to Young-Eung, “Let’s go and take a walk around the Fortress Wall of Seoul . ”
It was snowing lightly when they walked out of Starbucks, but when they almost reached the entrance, it started snowing heavily . There seemed to be no one around the Fortress Wall of Seoul that day . Young-Eun shouted in excitement, “Wow, look at the snow . It’s so beautiful . ”
Young-Eun picked up some snow and started making several snowballs, and she began to throw them at Gun-Ho .
One of her snowballs hit Gun-Ho’s head . Gun-Ho couldn’t stay quiet . He started making his own snowballs and threw them toward Young-Eun . After a moment, they found themselves in a snowball fight . They were screaming in pain and in joy at the same time .
The snowball fight lasted for a while until Gun-Ho had to gasp for air .
“Let’s stop here . ”
Gun-Ho stopped making a snowball and walked toward Young-Eun . While Gun-Ho was approaching her, Young-Eun hastily made a giant snowball and threw it to Gun-Ho in his head, who was right in front of her .
Snow powders got into Gun-Ho’s eyes and mouth .
“Hahahaha . ”
Young-Eun started laughing . She looked so happy .
Gun-Ho wiped his face with a handkerchief and said, “It snows heavily . I think we’d better go back . ”

“Are you mad?”
“Yes, I am . ”
“I will buy you a drink—a beer . Let’s go to Daehakro . ”
Gun-Ho and Young-Eun walked in the direction of Dongsung High School leaving his car in the parking lot . It would lead them to Daehakro .
“I want my revenge . ”
Young-Eun laughed while covering her mouth with her hand . Gun-Ho held Young-Eun’s arm and put her arm around his . It took Gun-Ho a lot of courage to do so .
“Hold my arm . I don’t want you to slip and fall in this snow . ”
Young-Eun didn’t pull her arm off . Gun-Ho could smell her scent . It was fresh and sweet . The very white snow and Young-Eun’s face looked alike .
When Gun-Ho was in elementary school, there was a girl in his class, who was really smart . She was very popular, but Gun-Ho couldn’t even talk to her because he knew she was out of his league . Now, Gun-Ho felt like he was walking arm in arm with that girl .
They entered a chicken restaurant . They ordered a roasted full-size chicken with beer . Young-Eun seemed to be enjoying the moment . It was a snowy day, and they were drinking a beer . Well, it was true that ladies were usually emotional and sensitive to weather and vibe . That day, they talked about a lot of things for a long time, from school days to Young-Eun’s days in Africa, and to Gun-Ho’s days in China .
After they walked out of the restaurant, they walked around Daehakro . They watched a Korean traditional musical performance on the way, and then they came back to Hyehwa Town .
“We should meet in Daehankro sometimes whenever Fortress Wall of Seoul wouldn’t be a viable option for the day . Did you see the Starbucks in front of the restaurant we just went to?”
Young-Eun smiled without responding to Gun-Ho’s suggestion .
“Well, I will see you later then . Stay safe . ”
Gun-Ho waved at Young-Eun as they parted . Young-Eun turned around and waved back to Gun-Ho .
Gun-Ho received a message from Seoul National University . He was successfully admitted to the program that he applied for . It was a congratulatory message from them . It said the class would start on January 3 .
“Hmm, am I now sort of a student of Seoul National University?”
Gun-Ho sent a text to Young-Eun and told her that he would be taking a one-year course at Seoul National University with Advanced Center for Administrative Development . She didn’t reply .
Gun-Ho received a call from Min-Hyeok that he would leave soon for Korea with his wife—Dingding .
Gun-Ho called for Chan-Ho Eum .
“President Min-Hyeok Kim is coming to Korea from China . We need to pick him up at the Incheon International Airport . ”
A few minutes later, Gun-Ho was sitting in his Bentley heading to the airport .
Min-Hyeok’s wife was a very tall woman . She was almost the same height as her husband—Min-Hyeok . It was the first time for Gun-Ho to meet her since their wedding . She looked sophisticated as Gun-Ho remembered . They both were wearing a coat . It was a cold day .
“This is Gun-Ho Goo . The owner of the companies . ”
Min-Hyeok officially introduced Gun-Ho to his wife .
“Ni Hao!”
Gun-Ho extended his hand to Min-Hyeok’s wife for a handshake . Dingding smiled and held Gun-Ho’s hand .
