The weather was getting warmer after the Lunar New Year’s Day in February . The spring was on its way .
Gun-Ho was checking his email at his desk in the office at GH Mobile when he found an email from Mori Aikko, which he had never expected to see .
[Oppa, it has been a while since we were together the last time . The cherry blossoms will be in full bloom within two months . There will be a cherry blossom festival at the Heian Shrine in Kyoto as they have held every year . Daigokuden of Heian Shrine in Tokyo City sent a special invitation to dancing geishas for a dance performance . They will set up a stage for us . Until then, I have spare time, so I’m going on a trip to South Korea around mid-March . I feel so excited already thinking of meeting you there soon .
– Love from Mori Aikko ]
Gun-Ho was terrified .
“Shoot . My wedding will be in mid-March . Why does she have to come then?”
Gun-Ho walked around in his office in a panic .
“What should I tell her?”
But people’s minds worked in a strange way sometimes . Gun-Ho actually missed Mori Aikko when he thought of her clear eyes and full lips .
“I want to see her . What should I do?”
Gun-Ho didn’t want to ruin his wedding . He invested too much in it, and he wouldn’t let anything disturb it .
Gun-Ho replied .
[Mori Aikko, it’s really good to hear from you . I’ve missed you a lot too, and I would be absolutely happy to meet you when you come to Korea if I could . The thing is that I won’t be in Korea in mid-March . I will be in China . I have some businesses going on there, and I need to take care of some joint venture contracts . I will go to Japan to see you during the cherry blossom festival .
– Love from your oppa]
After clicking the send button to reply to her, Gun-Ho felt sorry for her .
“Mori Aikko, I’m so sorry . I will go to Japan in the near future, and I will buy you nice food and expensive clothes . I promise . I’m sorry . ”
Gun-Ho received Mori Aikko’s reply right away . Maybe she was at home .
[Oppa, no pressure . I know you are a busy man with your business . I’m going to Korea with my friends in mid-March anyway . I will be fine . I will see you at the cherry blossom festival then .
– Love from Mori Aikko ]
Gun-Ho would have hugged her if Mori Aikko was there with him .
Gun-Ho wanted to get some fresh air . He walked out of his office and walked around the factory yard . He then wanted to visit the production site . When he entered the production site, the manager in the production team ran toward Gun-Ho . He was giving an instruction to the workers .
“Hello, sir . ”
“Oh, please don’t mind me . You can go back to your work . ”
Gun-Ho always talked in a respectful way when he addressed the manager because the manager was either the same age as or older than Gun-Ho . At that moment, Director Jong-Suk Park ran toward Gun-Ho .
Gun-Ho started taking a round accompanied by Director Jong-Suk Park . The workers in the production site tried to work harder than usual .
“President Goo is here today . ”
Gun-Ho was trying to get Mori Aikko out of his head by distracting himself . After taking a round at the production site, he came back to his office only to find out that there was an unexpected text message waiting for him . It was from Seol-Bing .
[I have a shooting in Japan for the soap opera that I’m in, on March 16th . I will meet you at the New Otani Hotel at 6 pm . ]
“New Otani Hotel? What’s up with everyone? What’s up with her? I will be extremely busy on March 16th preparing for my wedding . What am I going to do?”
Even though Seol-Bing’s text message baffled Gun-Ho, he couldn’t help thinking about her . Seol-Bing had a gorgeous body . The feeling of kissing her was very sweet and fresh . He wanted to have a glass of wine with her at the New Otani Hotel again and took a walk on the street in Ginza, Tokyo .
Gun-Ho replied to her .
[Oh, my goodness! Ms . Seol-Bing! It’s really good to hear from you . I missed you, but I will be in China in mid-March . I have an important contract that I need to make there . I know it’s not an everyday opportunity to receive a text from you like this, but I’m afraid that I can’t be there . Instead, I will contact you immediately after my trip to China . ]
Gun-Ho felt sorry for Seol-Bing as well . Gun-Ho suddenly felt hatred toward himself who had been acting so indecisively .
‘What am I doing? I will soon become someone’s husband . I’m supposed to clean up my relationships with other women before the wedding, but I’m still clinging to them . What’s wrong with me?’
Come to think of it, Gun-Ho felt sorry for his bride—Young-Eun—as well . For a second, he imagined how Young-Eun would react if she found out about Gun-Ho’s other women—Mori Aikko and Seol-Bing . It was not difficult to picture Young-Eun who was furious and turned her back to him .
‘I’m sure she won’t hesitate to turn her back on me, and then she will walk off elegantly . ’
Gun-Ho let out a deep sigh while sitting on the sofa .
The program that Gun-Ho was taking at the Advanced Center for Administrative Development was not limited to politics or economy, but they sometimes invited the best artists to give a lecture to the students because the purpose of the course was to cultivate cultured leaders in the society . That day, the nationally famous painter—Mr . Young-San Hwang—came and gave a special lecture .
Special lectures were always interesting . It showed a new world to Gun-Ho . Artist Young-San Hwan came into the classroom .
“Oh, he is the Young-San Hwang . I have his painting at home . ”
Gun-Ho heard someone saying it .
The professor introduced Artist Young-San Hwang to the class . Mr . Young-San Hwang looked like he was in his late 60s, and he was one of the elders in the national art community . He was once a dean at a famous art school in Seoul City, and he often participated in a national art competition as a judge . His outfit was peculiar .
The artist displayed several paintings on the screen and started explaining them . He spoke slowly, but his explanation and interpretation of the artworks were definitely interesting . Gun-Ho was intrigued by him . The lecture ended, and Artist Young-San Hwang was walking out of the class when Gun-Ho called him .
“Umm, sir . ”
Artist Hwang turned around and looked at Gun-Ho .
“I really enjoyed your lecture, sir . I’m a businessman, but I have an art gallery . I’m honored to meet you in person, sir . ”
Gun-Ho gave his business card to the painter, and he looked at Gun-Ho’s business card carefully .
“I own an art gallery . ”
“Oh, really? Is it in Insa Town?”
“Not in Insa Town, but it’s in Sinsa Town in Gangnam District . We recently hosted an art exhibition with Chinese young artists’ avant-garde and also with the French master of color aesthetics—Marion Kinsky . ”
“Oh, Marion Kinsky!”
Artist Hwang gave his business card to Gun-Ho . The word ‘Artist’ was written on the business card in English .
“I’d like to see your artworks someday, sir . ”
“Actually, I’m currently having an art exhibition in Gawngju City . I live there . ”
Artist Hwang offered his hand to Gun-Ho for a handshake and then turned around and walked off .
