A Thousand Flowers

A Thousand Flowers
Chaptre 35. Steal Opportunities


People say, a holiday in Korea in the autumn is not complete without enjoying the beautiful changes in color of maple leaves on Mount Naejangsan.


Luckily Fadhil and his entourage got a volunteer tour guide. Who else if not the Director, Shin Seo Hyun, and his Secretary, Park Joon Soo.


At 6:15 am Shin Seo Hyun and Park Joon Soo have arrived to pick up Izzah and Riris.


Shin Seo Hyun opened the door for Izzah. While Riris is accompanying Park Joon Soo. The two cars drove to the hotel where Fadhil and his entourage were staying, then took them to Yongsan station, chasing the seven-hour train.


The journey from Yongsan to Naejangsan takes more than two hours. Long enough to overcome the sleepiness that has not disappeared.


Izzah who was sitting next to Shin Seo Hyun struggled hard to resist the sleepiness of being attacked by the cold morning air. But eventually I fell asleep too.


“Waah .. In fact, Izzah looked beautiful even while sleeping,” praised Shin Seo Hyun.


“These are thick and the eyelashes are very pliable.”


“Hidungnya also bangir. Very compatible with thin tiny lips.”


Unceasingly Shin Seo Hyun admired the beauty of Izzah.


Cold, Izzah hugged both his hands. Shin Seo Hyun immediately opened the jacket and enveloped Izzah.


The deg! The deg!


Shin Seo Hyun's heart was beating like a drum while her face was so close to Izzah's face. The smell of Izzah's body was so fragrant, tempting Seo Hyun's maleness soul.


For some time, Seo Hyun was sedated by the charm of Izzah. His eyes closed, feeling the rancor of Izzah's lips in delusion. Suddenly Izzah squirmed. Seo Hyun nodded. He quickly corrected his sitting position.


“Aish! What am I thinking?” seo Hyun asked, embarrassed by his own dirty thoughts.


“Rather than thinking strange things, just sleeping" Seo Hyun thought. He closed his eyes too.


At nine Izzah woke up from his sleep. Seeing Shin Seo Hyun fall asleep without a jacket next to her, she realizes that the director's jacket is attached to her body.


“Revealed Director Shin was considerate as well,” praised Izzah, then moved the jacket to Seo Hyun's body.


At the same time, Shin Seo Hyun opened her eyes. For a moment Izzah and Seo Hyun looked at each other wordlessly.


The deg! The deg! The deg!


The heart of Izzah and Seo Hyun were both like a hammer. Both nervous. Seo Hyun held her breath. The fragrance that spread from Izzah's body made his desire back tempted.


Izzah took off Seo Hyun's jacket he was holding and threw away his face. Her cheeks feel hot. No one spoke until they got off the train.

As the name implies, Naejangsan actually has something hidden in the mountain without limits.


As far as the eye can see, only the beauty of bright red leaves that enveloped Mount Naejangsan. No wonder if this mountain is nicknamed “Geumgangsan of Honam.”


“... and we bring down rainwater from the sky, then We grow on it all kinds of good plants.”


Izzah's tears fell. Haru's. Remember one of the meanings of the verse from Surat Luqman that he often read. Izzah hastily wiped his tears with a piece of tissue.


Even though Izzah never dreamed of setting foot on Mount Naejangsan, let alone being able to cross the maple valley by cable car. What an unforgettable experience to be given the opportunity to enjoy the majestic Mount Naejangsan from Yeonjabong Peak Observatory.


Sitting quietly beside Izzah, Shin Seo Hyun who saw the other side of the girl was moved along. Izzah who is known to be cold and tomboy unsuspecting has a heart as soft as silk.


Satisfied with admiring and capturing the millions of colorful charms of maple trees, Shin Seo Hyun took the Izzah troupe to Baekyangsa Temple. The temple is located within the Naejangsan National Park.


The combination of mountains and valleys on both sides of the temple creates a beautiful view with the change of color of maple foliage in autumn, Bringing an unparalleled romantic impression.


Walking down the rows of white oak and maple, as soon as entering the Baekyangsa Temple, Izzah and his entourage were greeted by the scenic beauty of the Ssanggyeru pavilion amid the glittering pond, reflecting the colorful foliage at the edge of the pond.


Izzah circled the holy places in the temple that have been crowned as cultural assets and did not hesitate to show awe to see the beauty of the mural in the temple.


Shin Seo Hyun did not separate from Izzah for a second. He happily answered every question of the girl.


“It looks like this temple is very old.”


Izzah.


“If it's a holiday, this place is filled with visitors. Is this temple also still functioning besides being a tourist attraction?"


Shin Seo Hyun smiled. He admired the character of Izzah who always thirsted for science.


“Of course. The temple became the headquarters of the Buddhist Order of Jogye and had an important role in monastic education in the Jeolla.” area


“Monastic?”


Izzah didn't really understand the diction that Shin Seo Hyun used.


“It was lo... practice in which people abandon worldly desires in order to dedicate life solely to spiritual activities.”


“Sort of training to be a monk, is that it?”


Suddenly Izzah remembered the movie avatar.


Shin Seo Hyun shrugged at Izzah's question.


“Maybe. I also don't really understand about Buddhism.”


“Oh .. okay. Forget it!”


Out of the temple, Izzah steps towards the pool followed by Shin Seo Hyun. Izzah took out his cell phone, capturing a natural painting reflected on the surface of the pool water.


Feeling thirsty, Izzah crouched down and pulled out a bottle of mineral water from his bag.


BEEPING!


Incoming messages. Izzah put a bottle of mineral water on the edge of the pool, then busy replying to messages.


“Seo Hyun, find a meal!”


Park Joon Soo yells at her while pointing at the clock on her wrist.


“OK. Go first! We're following!”


Park Joon Soo leaves the temple with the others.


Seeing that Izzah was still busy with his phone, Seo Hyun reached into the bag, taking out the phone.


He was looking for a position with a beautiful background to selfie. Turn right, turn left. Face it, face it here. Accidentally, Seo Hyun's phone screen caught Izzah standing behind her, still with the phone in hand.


“Rezeki nih!”


Seo Hyun did not waste the opportunity. She smiled sweetly.


THE CHUCK!


A second later the photo became his wall paper.


“Doctor Izzah, looks like we almost missed lunch time.”


Izzah put the phone in a jacket pocket.


“Come!”


Shin Seo Hyun invited Izzah to walk in front with her hand code.


Just a few steps .…


BUKS!


Suddenly Izzah turned around and hit Shin Seo Hyun. His face landed on Seo Hyun's field chest. Shocked by not expecting Seo Hyun to accompany her step, Izzah spontaneously stepped back. Damn, he slipped. Shin Seo Hyun caught both of Izzah's shoulders.
