Mystique Of Aurora

Third Person's POV:

it was another hectic morning for yeji- the most well known and powerful CEO. Waking up early in the morning, working out, eating breakfast, going to work, working overtime till midnight, going home, sleeping and repeating the same routine...
she's not called an ice queen for no reason... it's like her heart is made of ice... she's cold to almost everyone, be it her employees, clients, friends or even her parents but deep down she cares for her parents and her friends, the only problem is she finds it hard to express herself- her feelings.
and that's the reason why she lost her, she lost her chance to be with her. Her life was never the same...it got worse!! She became more distant, she overworked herself, she did everything she could to forget her. But she knows that the more she tries, the more she misses her.

she always prayed to God to give her one more chance, just one more, to make the latter hers...

Yeji's POV:

'i miss her, how long has it been? four? five years?' i thought to myself when my assistant interrupted me.

"Miss Hwang, are you alright?"
aish how can I distract myself like that... 'be professional' i told myself

"Yes..... I am, what is it?"

"It's time for you to listen to your schedule for today" she chuckled... now look at me, forgetting everything once she occupied my mind

I nodded, telling her to continue. "At 11 am, you will be having a short meeting with our new business partners, followed by lunch- Mr Hwang will also be present during the meeting.."

"wait why is dad accompanying me?"

"Mr Hwang said that our new business partners are very important so he should be present"

"Alright, so that's it?"

"yes Miss Hwang" I thanked her and she walked out, now I should stop thinking about her and focus on my work

time skip: meeting

my dad himself is accompanying me, weird.. he never attends any meetings with my business partners, are they that important for dad to accompany me?

"you okay dear?" my dad asked me

"yes I am, I'm okay..." he nodded "so dad may I know who our business partners are, I am supposed to know them but you blocked all their information.."

"soon..." he cut me off "..they'll be here in a min, all you need to know is that their CEO will be stepping down from his position and his daughter will replace him, and you might know her" he smiled at me

dad's acting sus, but I decided to just shrug it off,
but I'm still wondering about our business partners and my thought was interrupted

"Good day my friend, long time no see," this person said to dad and he looked familiar...

"uncle s-shin?" I stood up from my seat

"hello yeji, surprise!!! you've grown well" he said, he's still the same- still the bubbly guy and behind him...there she was, the person I long to see,

"r-ryujin..." after 5 freaking years there she was, her whisker-dimples showing, not a thing changed- except she's more beautiful and she looks more confident

"yeji!!!" she squealed in excitement "omg omg I can't believe this, are you for real?" she ran to me and hugged me tight... I am still in shock but I hugged her back...

"ehem.. ladies should we proceed?" my dad interrupted us and we let go of the hug...

--

"so..let me be straightforward" my dad started the conversation "... I was thinking of merging our companies, as you can see- we have men's clothing brands and your uncles shin's company have women's clothing brands and if we merge our companies then it'll be more profitable for our company as well as for the shin's" seems like dad and uncle shin already talked about this

"Hmm, that's a good proposal..." I said "since that's what you and uncle shin wants, then we might as well do it," I told dad
I mean what can go wrong... it's profitable for both companies and if anyone wants to merge with the Hwang company then it'll only be the Shin corp. because both our families have been friends for a long time, since our grandparents' generation so yeah, that's why I agreed to the proposal...

well and it's because of her too, I mean can you blame me? it's not my fault that I can't let go of my feelings for her.. and I don't plan on stopping it anymore, not when she herself is back and is now in front of me *sigh*

ryujin was quiet the whole time, I'm quite worried about her. why is she so quiet? maybe she's not happy with the proposal...

"ryujin, what do you think about the proposal? you have the say in it, if you don't want to merge the company then we won't do it" I told her, quite proud of myself for not stuttering

"no, I am happy with the proposal, very happy," she said showing her whisker dimple, I knew she was sincere because duh... I've been her closest friend for the longest time, I mean we've been together since our diaper days, I know when she's hurt, when she's sad, when she fakes her smile, when she's confused, when she's happy, when she's genuinely happy, yeah, in conclusion, I know how she's feeling just by looking at her and...
that is why I never confessed, because she saw me as her friend, as her best friend and I don't want things to get awkward and I don't want us to be distant so even if it hurts, I'll keep things this way, I'll be by her side, I'll protect her from behind...

"perfect!! now all we need to do is inform the public," said uncle shin... "and, I should also inform the public that I'll be stepping down and my daughter will be taking up my position" he said while smiling to ryujin

"Now it's time for us to enjoy, we've been working our whole lives and it's the right time for them to continue our footsteps," my dad said

"and now is the time for lunch," I told them
