As Aromi's journey as an interpreter at MYM Entertainment continued, her friendship with Lee Min Ho grew deeper and more meaningful. They spent time together both at work and during their leisure moments, sharing laughter and inside jokes. Lee Min Ho found himself looking forward to their interactions each day, and he admired Aromi's dedication and passion for her work.
However, as the days passed, Lee Min Ho couldn't shake the feeling of unease whenever he saw Choi Jin Hae trying to flirt with Aromi. He noticed how Choi Jin Hae would frequently compliment her and attempt to engage in playful banter. The sight ignited a sense of possessiveness within him, one he didn't fully understand.
**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself) "Why does it bother me so much? She's just a colleague, a friend. It's probably because we spend so much time together at work."
Lee Min Ho tried to push aside his feelings, convincing himself that it was nothing more than friendly concern for Aromi's well-being. He buried himself in his busy schedule of shootings and promotions, hoping that the distraction would help him forget the strange emotions he was experiencing.
As weeks went by, Aromi was assigned to work on a significant project, and Choi Jin Hae was chosen as her partner. Lee Min Ho couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy when he saw them working closely together, discussing ideas and exchanging smiles.
**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself) "I shouldn't feel this way. They are colleagues, and they need to collaborate. It's just work."
However, no matter how much he tried to convince himself, he couldn't shake off the growing discomfort in his heart. The thought of Aromi sharing her time and attention with someone else made him uneasy.
**Lee Min Ho:** (confused) "Why am I feeling like this? I should be happy for her success and her growing connections at work."
Amidst the swirl of emotions, Lee Min Ho tried to maintain a supportive front for Aromi. He continued to be there for her when she needed advice or encouragement, offering a listening ear whenever she needed to vent her frustrations.
But one day, as he stepped into the company, he overheard a conversation between Aromi and Choi Jin Hae, and jealousy surged within him. The casual tone and laughter in their exchange made him realize just how much he cared about her.
Determined to suppress his jealousy, Lee Min Ho decided to take his mind off the matter by throwing himself into work even more intensely. However, the competitive side of him couldn't help but assign Aromi and Choi Jin Hae a challenging project, wanting to see how they would handle the pressure.
**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself, trying to rationalize) "It's not about wanting them to fail; it's just about testing their capabilities. Yeah, that's it."
As the project progressed, Lee Min Ho's heart wavered between wanting the best for Aromi and feeling a strange sense of satisfaction whenever he saw her skillfully handling the challenges. It was as if he wanted her to succeed, but he also couldn't bear to see her share her success with someone else.
**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself) "What is happening to me? Why am I being so possessive? She deserves to be happy and successful, no matter who she works with."
Caught in a web of conflicting emotions, Lee Min Ho found himself in a state of introspection. He realized that his feelings for Aromi were becoming more than just friendship, but he was also afraid of risking their bond by confessing.
**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself) "I can't ruin what we have. I value our friendship too much to let my feelings jeopardize it."
As days turned into weeks, Lee Min Ho struggled to navigate the complexity of his emotions. He continued to support Aromi wholeheartedly, all the while trying to come to terms with his own feelings.
Despite his inner turmoil, Lee Min Ho never let his emotions affect their friendship. He was determined to cherish the moments they shared, whether it was working on projects, sharing meals, or simply enjoying each other's company during leisure time.
**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself) "I need to figure this out, but I won't let it change our friendship. Aromi is too important to me."
Unbeknownst to Lee Min Ho, Aromi had also been observing the subtle changes in his behavior. She noticed the occasional moments of distance and the way he seemed to be wrestling with something internally.
**Aromi:** (to herself) "Something's bothering him, but I can't figure out what it is. I hope he knows he can talk to me about anything."
In their intertwined journey, both Aromi and Lee Min Ho were grappling with emotions that transcended the boundaries of friendship. Little did they know that their feelings would set them on an uncharted path, one that would challenge their understanding of love and destiny. As they continued to support and cherish each other, their bond would deepen, paving the way for a revelation that would change everything.
In moments of vulnerability, Lee Min Ho would find himself seeking comfort in Aromi's presence. She had unknowingly become a source of solace for him.
Their bond grew stronger with every passing day, and Lee Min Ho's feelings towards Aromi became more evident. He cherished their moments together, knowing that their friendship was a treasure he held close to his heart.
**Lee Min Ho:** (reflecting on their friendship) "She's brought so much joy into my life. I don't want to lose that."
As they worked together on various projects, Lee Min Ho often found himself observing Aromi's interactions with others, especially with her male co-workers. A part of him couldn't help but feel possessive, wanting her attention to be solely on him.
Yet, despite his inner turmoil, Lee Min Ho never let his emotions affect their friendship. He continued to support Aromi wholeheartedly, standing by her side through both professional and personal challenges.
**Aromi:** (grateful) "Mr. Lee, I can't thank you enough for all your support. You've been such an incredible friend."
**Lee Min Ho:** (smiling) "It's my pleasure, Aromi. Friends look out for each other, right?"
**Aromi:** (excitedly) "Mr. Lee, have you tried this new Korean dish? It's amazing!"
**Lee Min Ho:** (enthusiastically) "No, but I'd love to try it with you!"
Despite his initial confusion and occasional moments of jealousy, Lee Min Ho cherished the companionship and joy that Aromi brought into his life. Their friendship was a constant source of happiness and comfort, and he couldn't imagine his journey without her by his side.
**Aromi:** (sharing her dreams) "Mr. Lee, I want to use my position to promote cultural understanding beyond just translations. I want to bridge the gap between South Korea and the world."
**Lee Min Ho:** (supportive) "That's a wonderful aspiration, Aromi. I believe you can make a significant impact."
In return, Aromi was always there for Lee Min Ho, offering an empathetic ear and unwavering support whenever he needed it.
**Lee Min Ho:** (opening up) "Sometimes, the weight of fame can be overwhelming. But when I'm with you, Aromi, I feel like I can be myself."
**Aromi:** (compassionate) "You don't always have to put on a brave face. It's okay to be vulnerable."
Their bond grew even deeper as they shared their dreams, fears, and vulnerabilities with each other. They became each other's pillars of strength, a safe haven in the chaotic world of entertainment.
**Aromi:** (excitedly) "Mr. Lee, I have an idea for an event that could celebrate Korean culture and connect it with other countries. What do you think?"
**Lee Min Ho:** (enthusiastically) "I love it! Let's work on it together and make it happen."
Their joint efforts brought forth an incredible cultural exchange event that touched the hearts of people from various backgrounds. The success of the event further solidified their partnership, and their bond was now woven with threads of shared dreams and aspirations.
As they navigated through the challenges and triumphs of the entertainment industry, their emotional connection continued to intensify. They found comfort in each other's presence, and their laughter echoed through the halls of MYM Entertainment, brightening the lives of everyone around them.
**Aromi:** (teasingly) "Mr. Lee, you should try your hand at learning Assamese. It's my mother tongue."
**Lee Min Ho:** (playfully) "Oh, that's a challenge I'd gladly accept. Teach me, Aromi."
Their playful banter and genuine affection for each other made them inseparable. They shared adventures, explored hidden gems of Seoul, and attended cultural events together, creating cherished memories.
**Aromi:** (reflecting) "Who would have thought that a village girl from Assam and a globally renowned actor would become such close friends?"
**Lee Min Ho:** (grateful) "Fate works in mysterious ways. I'm thankful to have you in my life, Aromi."
