Love Without Time Limits
CHAPTER 5: MATCHMAKING !! 1

"tringgg.." Eun Seung's shop bell rang. Someone has come inside to buy her homemade cake. Eun Seung smiled at her. They are used to customers coming to visit. His cake shop has been a speaker of mothers in their area of residence. Eun Seung already has his own special features to attract their attention. They have become regular customers, some are the first to come to Eun Seung's store. One of them is a man with glasses, tall, and handsome. Like the Korean models in general. But a little visible crease behind his glasses.

"welcome to the bakery sweety bakery shop, how can I help you?" Eun Seung introduces himself and gives a helping hand when the man is in front of a pastry cake showcase that is deliberately on display.

"i want a teddy bear cake, caramel cake, garlic bread and cappuccino tea.." the man's ink.

"well.." Eun Seung said excitedly, the man turned to look for a seat near the window. After everything is ready, Eun Seung gives it to her.

"can you help me?" He asked when Eun Seung put a plate containing a cake and a cup of cappuccino tea. This time, the customer asked for help.

"uh ?!!" Eun Seung was surprised, the man spoke to him but his gaze was still fixed on a paper drawing a woman using his pencil.

"i'm looking for a woman, he said he works in this region. I was curious, he did not mention his name." said the man stopped his activities and smiled at Eun Seung. "...I want you to help me find that woman, I'll give you something that can make you famous..."

"making me famous !?" Eun Seung is still talking about her words. What makes him famous.

"i'm Choi Jin Wook, a news reporter at *xnc "he said confidently showing off his id card in front of Eun Seung.

"wahhh.." amazed Eun Seung, he just first saw a reporter in front of him now. "...what can I help you with?" Eun Seung asked sitting next to the reporter. He has not thought about anything else, his desire to become famous maybe in this way. He wants the reputation of his cake shop to get good value for customers.

*XNC: one of the television stations in south korea (illustration)

Their desire becomes the most important thing. This could entice even more customers to come to his cake shop.

"i know this woman on an app to date, you know an app that invites you to meet new people. I followed him because I was too busy with my work. My mother wanted her son to get married. Mmmhhh.. This cake is very tasty...!!" Jin Wook exclaimed as he tried the first teddy bear cake he ordered. Eun Seung nodded, smiling at his homemade cake praised by his customers.

"then ? You don't know who that woman is?" Eun Seung asked to hear all the stories Jin Wook told him. The man shook his head.

"no, he doesn't want his name mentioned. I don't know why, I appreciate his decision. Maybe he's still ashamed of me. For two years, I loved this woman because she always supported me. She is a warm, caring and loyal woman." said Jin Wook, the change in his face made Eun Seung fascinated. The man was very happy to describe the woman he liked. "...but lately, I've been giving up on it. I'm sober. If I continue like this, I will not move forward looking for the woman." continued the man in a sad tone. Eun Seung understood Jin Wook's concern. It's true, what he said. He will never know if he does not move forward. As long as he was willing to step up and try, there must be something miraculous that would come to him.

"but I don't know who that woman you mentioned, that explanation of her is still ordinary, every woman has that kind of trait. Moreover, I am also a new person living in this region who has not known them closely. I'm sorry, I can't help you." Eun Seung complained to her the truth.

"i know this store is new. All this time I've been to the minimarket next door to keep quiet.."

"have you tried to contact him? Or meet him?"

"if he wanted to, I would've been with him by now. He is still afraid to meet new people. I've tried to contact him and invite him to meet but he stays with his stance." replied Jin Wook shook his head, he did not know what else to do.

"right, so what should I do?" Eun Seung started to wonder at her. Maybe Eun Seung can help her this time.

"i want you to gather all the women in the region to take a quiz with me. Maybe this could be a clue for me to get to know the woman." he said again while cutting the caramel cake on his plate.

"i understand !!" Eun Seung nodded in agreement with the man's request. He was able to gather all the women in the region to follow the quiz he gave. That's very easy. It is just that and he can become famous.

"alright, I'll get everything ready..." Eun Seung accepted it. Help from her makes Jin Wook's problem solved. He can also reveal the woman's secret.

"okay, I think I should go !!" Said Jin Wook tidying up all his stuff. Eun Seung nodded and rushed towards the cashier. Jin Wook also paid him. "please cooperate with him, please." he continued after giving the money to Eun Seung.

"sure !!" Eun Seung exclaimed with excitement. Jin Wook just smiled, he finally went towards the exit.

"...ah, yes. Jin Wook !!" Calling Eun Seung made the man turn his head towards him. "...may I know, a little bit about that woman?" Eun Seung asked suddenly. Jin Wook was silent for a moment and smiled.

"he wears glasses and loves books." - Jin Wook. He just passed by, making Eun Seung silently think about the instructions he gave.

"i've guessed it, it must be Soo Ra..."

"i've never used an app like that...!!" Said Soo Ra when Eun Seung asked her. He has been in Soo Ra's bookstore since. Evening is a fun day for everyone, there are no business activities for Eun Seung cake shop, Soo Ra bookstore, Hyu Ri flower shop, to kyung mi dress boutique. The area is restricted to such shops. The regulation only explains that cafes and minimarkets that can operate until ten pm.

"who here used the app?" Eun Seung asked himself. He could not guess it other than hyuri and noona kyung mi.

"what kind of man is he? The slap? Like Lee Min Ho?" Soo Ra is again curious about the figure of the man. He knew that in a week a man would come looking for her. Like Cinderella waiting for a prince to come with his partner's shoes. Eun Seung just realized that.

"we'll see in a week." said Eun Seung did not want to explain in essence.

"if he's handsome, maybe I can get him. Hehehe.." Soo Ra's laughter forced itself. "...Okay, I'm starting to get excited about this quiz. Maybe if I get into the criteria. I can have a boyfriend this year." Soo Ra continued with excitement.

"but don't you have that app?"

"the man will choose another, if they don't find the woman he's after." Soo Ra replied, making them pause for a moment. There is something wrong with Soo Ra's words. Or is it true with reality like that.

"i don't agree with what you said...!!" Tukas Seung Ho is suddenly on the doorstep of Soo Ra's bookstore. They both saw it.

"why? Isn't that right ?!" Soo Ra sharpens his words and continues to see Seung Ho who put down several books he borrowed.

"i'll give you back your book...!!" Seung Ho said, he did not answer Soo Ra's questions and just left them.

There's something that makes Seung Ho just shut up. He was thinking about what Soo Ra said about a man. Is that true or is it just a different way of looking. As with Seung Ho, he did reject firmly Soo Ra's statement. The way he looks at himself is different. If he likes someone, he will accept all the attitudes and traits of the woman he likes. He will not attach importance to the criteria or the wishes of a woman. He will continue to be with the woman and will not choose another. That's why Seung Ho avoided Soo Ra's words.
