Lovely Stranger
New Day

Miyeon was fixated on staring at the image of her face in the mirror, her heart still stuck because she felt it was not enough just to get sorry from Jennie. He decided something big today. His heart was firm and sure. Several journalists' cars began to be parked in his yard. Why didn't he invite the reporters to the agency building instead? No, it's his own decision. No one agrees with what he has decided. Therefore, Miyeon deliberately led the reporters to her home. That one-sided decision might have been too bold, but Miyeon didn't care. This is how he paid for the sins he committed.

"Miyeon-ssi, are you sure about this?" ask the manager. The woman looked sad, she didn't know where else to work. He or she should start looking for a job at another artist or even at another agency.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure" Miyeon replied. The girl came out of her room and went down to meet the reporters. Shortly after he opened the door, a reporter's camera spot greeted him accompanied by flashes and the distinctive sound of the lens shooting. I want it to feel like Miyeon is retreating, her guts are shrinking. His feet began to tremble and cold sweat also slid down his temples. The girl took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. His heart was pounding incoherently. It is time to reveal his decision. A moment of boisterous human-journalist, thrusting sarcastic questions to not give Miyeon a chance to speak.

"ENOUGH!" the manager screeched, everyone fell silent. "Let Cho Miyeon speak this time!" continued. The situation became very calm, as well as Miyeon's heart was pounding more and more.

"I'm..." Miyeon took a breath and then went back to exhaling slowly. "I've decided to step back from the entertainment world!"

Silent. No one expected Miyeon to say that. The girl turned around and went back inside leaving the reporter who then came back boisterous.

Clamps! The door's closing soon. Unconcerned by the short and crazy announcement, Miyeon was now relieved.

...***...

"I don't believe Cho Miyeon's decision, but I think it's the best." Jennie smile. The person sitting next to him clasped his hands tightly. Some of the people lined up in the row of chairs were also relieved. They were in a Seoul theater building, to watch Cho Miyeon's first singing performance. The girl appeared with Kang Seungyoon, the man who seemed to make her aware of her mistake all along.

"You still want to see the snake perform, even though he has ruined your career.akh!!" Jinu complained as Jennie pinched him slowly.

"Someone's lecturing me, I don't need to hold a grudge. Because the world will work well. He knows what deserves to happen and we don't have to commit the same crime" Jennie replied. Jinu thought for a moment, he wondered why Jennie Kadi was so wise. But then, he remembered something. She seemed familiar with Jennie's words. Her sister-in-law—Joohyun— never said that to her. When he was upset at his rival at last year's art exhibition.

"Oh... Worth it," muttered Jinu as he glanced lazily at Jennie.

Oh yea! Speaking of her brother-in-law, Jinu recalled that her brother had contracted this afternoon and had been taken to the hospital by Jumyeon.

"Geez!" Jinu patted his eel. He forgot to tell his parents. They are currently in France. "I haven't called my mom and dad that Joohyun's sister-in-law is going to give birth."

"WHAT?" jennie's strangulation to make the attention of all people turned towards her. The girl felt bad for making a fuss. He immediately drags Jinu out of the theater.

After arriving outside, Jennie now folded her hands in front of her chest and looked resentfully at Jinu. "You didn't tell me either, you could have been sitting quietly in the theater while your sister-in-law was struggling to give birth" Jennie said.

"I forgot, was that wrong?" grunt Jinu.

"Basic senile! If only your head hadn't stuck to your neck, you'd have forgotten to carry it too, right?"

"HIT!!!" Jinu stuck his index finger on his lips. "I'm on the phone!"

Jennie was silent, but she was still holding her side and showed a face that seemed ready to nag again after Jinu finished calling.

"Ma-sorry just told you now, yeah.... Ahh yes, I am also on my way."

Jennie rolled her eyes, "are you lying?" whispered slowly.

"Really, yeah. Jumyeon often conveys information suddenly. Yeah, it's been since the afternoon, but he just got off tonight. Yeah.just.just." Jinu muttered on the phone, while Jennie now started shaking her head. Poor Jumyeon too, he was instead made an excuse because of Jinu's negligence. After the conversation was enough, Jinu immediately turned off his phone. He was now staring at the protesting look of the lover.

"Hehehe... We better go to the hospital quickly," he said, who then took Jennie's hand to walk to the parking lot.

...***...

They went to the hospital. The two lovebirds steps so hurriedly, they headed to Joohyun's room. Kim Jumyeon's wife had gone through labor smoothly.

"me too. But I'm not sure if your niece would be proud to have a forgetful uncle like you" Jennie teased.

"Leave it. At least she'd be proud to have such a beautiful aunt like you."

The deg! Jennie's heart was pounding, her face instantly flushed red. He thought he would only get a reply in the form of ridicule, but it was precisely the praise that Jinu threw.

Why do you make me so happy so often? Inner Jennie.

They both came in, and......

"HUH?" Jennie is gaping, so is Jinu. Time stopped that second, too.

In front of him was already an entire family, father, mother, even Jaewon whom Jinu thought knew nothing about.

"Dad, mom, when did you come?" ask Jinu. Seunghyun glanced cynically, he was still busy petting his handsome grandson. While Sandara looks indifferent and does not pay attention to Jinu.

"Yesterday!" sulcan Jumyeon.

"WHAT? YESTERDAY??"

"HTTTTTTTT!!!!" Everyone in the room hinted at Jinu to lower his voice. The man chuckled and scratched his head. He approached Jumyeon in annoyance.

"You pranking me?"

"I'm just asking you to tell me about mom and dad."

"About? How much you. You even know that mom and dad—"

"Jumyeon told us yesterday" Sandara said.

"What's? You've been telling me about mom and dad since yesterday?" Jinu is getting more and more unacceptable.

"Aishis... I'm not saying that I haven't told you about mom and dad. I'm just telling you to let them know that there's no need to come to the house because Joohyun and I have gone to the hospital" Jumyeon explained. Jinu can only be dumbfounded. Jennie began to shake her head in surprise.

How could I like a stupid man like Kim Jinu. His inner.

"Gee... Very happy, yes. We got a free spectacle" Jaewon whispered to Jennie who was standing next to him. The girl chuckled softly in response to her future sister-in-law.

"Your families are so warm, I'm even so envious" Jennie replied.

"Why envy? Soon, you'll be part of our family, too."

The deg! Jennie's face flushed. He feels so happy now. He felt that his life was getting more colorful when he knew Jinu. His girlfriend was still involved in a small fight with her brother, Jumyeon.

"Oh, yeah. After this it's your turn," teased Jaewon.

"HUH?"
