"You speak Korean very fluently Miss Nayla Ayek!" Hwa Jin commented,
"oh, please call me Nayla, I dislike people addressing me as Miss or Mrs, makes me feel like my father is watching me from behind, creeping me out of my skin!" Nayla joked, sharing a laughter with Hwa Jin.
"Sehun have showed me your Red Flame and the way it came out was perfect, the way you looked at the camera was enough to kill!" Nayla rounded her eyes, emphasizing on it.
"Noona, Nayla don't compliment anyone easily!" Sehun added after observing them for a long time,
"he's right, and when I saw you earlier, I just knew it, I knew that you'll do great for this project of mine, it's called the Sorrow of the Kashmir, please take a look at this, maybe this will help explain things to you!" Nayla nodded and took out a file, discussing about work all the way with a tad of jokes to keep the atmosphere alive. It took them shorter than expected to reach an agreement, "that's wonderful and thank you so much, it really means a lot to me, I'll see you tomorrow morning then, goodnight my dear!" Nayla placed a hand on her chest before kissing Hwa Jin's cheeks goodbye. Watching them two leave in the same car,
"so how do you like Italy?" Sehun nudged her, snapping her from her daydream.
"Did you arrange for me to come to Italy for work?" Hwa Jin eyed him suspiciously, acting innocent,
"not at all, I'm here for a meeting with Mr Giovanni, while you have a meeting with Nayla Ayek, so maybe it's a coincidence for us to meet since they both wanted to meet us both together?" Sehun shook his head,
"I find Italy to be really nice!" Hwa Jin playfully rolled her eyes before looking around, "I should get going now, shouldn't you too?" Hwa Jin took out her phone from her bag only to have it being taken away from Sehun. "Wae? Give it back, I need to call Baekhyun oppa and Taeyeon noona to tell them that I'm done!" Hwa Jin tried grabbing her phone back,
"you know, it pains my heart when you call someone oppa but not me, besides, it's not really late yet, come with me, I want to bring you somewhere, about going back home, I'll see you home safely, if you can agree to my request, I'll give you back your phone, deal?" Sehun pouted.
"You're so childish, arasseo, give me my phone back, you win!" Hwa Jin admitted defeat,
"yehet!" Sehun gave her phone back to Hwa Jin. Wanting to bring Hwa Jin to visit Italy, her eyes were glued to the beautiful sceneries before her eyes, none that she can find back home.
"It's really beautiful!" Hwa Jin exclaimed, smiling at her words, Sehun concentrated on his driving to reach their destination of intend. "Where's this?" Hwa Jin looked around,
"this is where upper class women and debutantes comes here to do their shopping, it's more beautiful during the night, that's why I wanted to bring you here!" Sehun closed his car door before locking it. Walking along the streets, Sehun showed her many interesting places and items that had them both smiling. They finally reached a fountain and when Hwa Jin turned to look, Sehun was nowhere to be found.
"Sehun?" she called out many times before Sehun appeared behind a pillar, scaring her in the process. "You naughty rascal, it's not funny! You scared me!" Hwa Jin punched his chest as hard as she could,
"were you scared? Noona, please don't be, I was only playing with you!" Sehun tried to stifle his laughter, watching Hwa Jin punching his chest with her small bare fists.
"You really like scaring me do you? It's been more than 10 years but you have not changed even the slightest!" Hwa Jin huffed out her annoyance.
"Noona, don't be mad, I got a gift for you! Here it is!" Sehun pretended to grab something from the starry night and released it in front of her, revealing it to hexagon-shaped snowflake necklace.
"Oh my gosh, it's really beautiful!" Hwa Jin touched the necklace with the tip of her fingers. Clasping it around her neck,
"noona, this is my gift for you, don't be mad at me alright?" Sehun apologized, holding her hands now,
"naughty rascal, is this the way you apologize to a noona? You're so silly!" Hwa Jin pushed his forehead slightly behind and giggled lightly before resting her forehead against his. Without any interference, they stared at the window to each other's soul, rotating in circles slowly when they heard a firework in the sky, without any words, they admire the various colors and patterns of each fireworks being released into the sky. "Wish I can see more of this back home!" Hwa Jin heave a sigh.
"Noona, there's something that I would like to talk to you about, it's about me!" Sehun said stoically,
"what is it?" Hwa Jin was still smiling when she turned to look at him.
"Noona, remember the first time we met after years of separation?" Sehun sat on the fountain before pulling her down gently to sit beside him,
"yeah, it was when Hana and I went to pick you up from the airport!" Hwa Jin nodded,
"that's true, when I saw your eyes again, from that very moment, I began to feel again, the feeling I was deprived of when I was young!" Sehun held her hands lovingly, "you had me rekindle the feelings I suppressed myself from feeling again, a feeling that I wanted to have, but yet, I fear to have it!" Sehun continued,
"what kind of feelings was that?" Hwa Jin now held his hands, rubbing it warmly.
"The first feeling I've ever felt, a feeling I've felt for you when we first met as a kid noona, it was you who made me believed that love and warmth does exist, and now, you've made me believe that those two does exist once more!" Sehun confessed, "noona, you made me realized that I can no longer conceal my feelings for you, you made me realized that the cold ice being stuck in my heart for a long time has been removed and you made me realized that my heart has escaped from it's darkness, you lighted up my darkened world!" Sehun continued, cupping her face.
"Sehun-ah, I'd never realized that..." Hwa Jin went speechless,
"I know that I'm younger than you, but does age really matter in love?" Sehun asked again, "no they do not, not when you're in love with someone!" Hwa Jin added, smiling sweetly at him, "noona, if you're willing, would you allow me to show you miracles? That all impossibles can be made into possible? That I can bring the whole world under your feet?" Sehun was still staring right into her eyes,
"Sehun-ah, I'm speechless, I don't know what to say! No one has ever proposed to me before!" Hwa Jin shed tears of joy.
"Noona, trust me, I can give you the happiness you'll want, I can make the world go round under your feet, I'll make sure that none of your request goes unfulfilled so let me feel once more, noona, let me feel the feelings I was deprived of since young, jebal?" Sehun pleaded.
