REMEMBER ME?...
Part 45's

Brian laughed at Vano's question. “Pretty good. Shouldn't I be the one asking? I saw yesterday you were in Kiara's room. Is your body okay?”

Vano gulped at Brian's question. He turned his eyes away while beating. Trying to cover up her embarrassment and nervousness. “Of course, I'm fine,” he said briefly.

“Yes! Lower the lighting a little! Slide a bit of the property near the tree! Yes, a little more!” exclaim Vano on the crew that is setting up.

Brian grunting. “It seems you are very busy.”

“Hm, I'm very, very busy,” Vano said while putting emphasis on every word he said.

“Alright, then I won't bother you, master photographer.Fighting!” exclaimed Brian while patting Vano on the shoulder and turning around. Just turning around, suddenly the man again exclaimed—half-screaming,

“Hai Kiara kusuma!”

Vano stiffened in place hearing Kiara's name called. He did not dare to turn around. He can only hope Kiara will not approach him or Brian because the two things are the same. If Kiara approaches Brian, then Kiara approaches him as well because he is near Brian. And he still didn't know what to say to Kiara if she came face to face with the girl.

“Oh, Brother Brian!” kiara exclaimed as she waved her hand.

Vano heard the sound of footsteps towards him and Brian. Damn, it seems like the girl really approached the two of them.

“Wah... You were so beautiful this morning, madam designer!” exclaim Brian.

Kiara smiled. “You are too, our famous model lord.”

Brian laughing. “Yes, you're getting good at talking, huh?”

While Kiara was busy conversing with Kiara, slowly and very carefully, Vano left Brian's side. Trying to move to a place further away from the two of them so that Kiara does not greet him. But his plan seems to have failed when he had just stepped up, and Brian had already asked,

“Where?” looking at Vano.

Kiara also inevitably followed Brian's gaze and the girl raised her eyebrows to look at a man who was behind her and was walking away.

“There's something I have to do—“

“Vano Alexander!” exclaiming Kiara cut Vano's words to Brian.

Vano was silent in his place. In his heart, he cursed deeply in his stupid actions that did not immediately go from there. Half-heartedly, the man turned around while showing his flat face.

“apa?” he murmured in return for Kiara's greeting.

“Are you okay? Yesterday night..You didn't look all right,” asked Kiara.

“Ne, I'm fine. Thank you for your help last night. Excuse me first,” Vano said as he turned back and continued his delayed steps towards the camera crew. Actually it was just an alibi so he could get away from the girl.

Kiara just looked at the man with a strange look. Something's up. There was something strange, but Kiara herself did not know what. He just felt like the man was acting strangely towards him. He felt that the man was trying to get away from him. “What's with him?” unconsciously, he muttered to himself.

“Ya, yes! It turns out that what I saw yesterday was you, right? You're the one who took Vano to his room, right?” brian is excited.

Kiara looked at Brian with a flat expression. “True, Why?” the tan is cold as it passes to get back on his designer and stylist crew.

Brian scrunched his forehead while pointing towards Kiara and Vano alternately. “Ah right, they are now engaged! But...why do they seem to avoid each other? Did they fight? Again?!” he muttered to himself.

The shooting went well. Everything went exactly as planned and Vano was satisfied with it. However, throughout the shoot, interactions between Kiara and Vano were extremely rare. They only talk if they feel there is something to talk about. This made the crew and staff of the shoot, even Brian felt that there was a problem between the two. The conversation between the two was very awkward and very different from when they were not engaged just yet. Is it because they have been engaged so their relationship becomes awkward? It's impossible, isn't it?

The staff and crew bowed back before returning to their place to clean up their belongings, property, and so on.

Vano did the same. When the crew and staff had started to clean up their respective items, he returned to the table where he stored his laptop and moved the photos from the photo shoot into his laptop to enter the editing and printing process.

Just now Vano moved the photo and opened some photos, a sound had ruined the calm atmosphere he was enjoying. “Yes, it turns out I'm really handsome, huh?”

Vano turned around with a frown and rolled his eyeballs looking at Brian who had been standing behind him. The man who was taller than him was freely able to see the shooting results from behind his back.

“Don't my photo need no more in the editing process?” ask Brian confidently.

“Aish. Have you always been this confident?” ask Vano sharply.

“I was indeed born confidently.”

Vano snorted but he also laughed afterwards. “Already, there! You better take a break! It's almost night and you have to prepare yourself for the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow we have to go back to Seoul, remember?”

“I know, I remember!” brian was upset. “Cih, whereas I want to enjoy the last hours here,” complained Brian later.

“You can enjoy it later, if this project has been completed,” Vano said.

Brian clicked his tongue. “Alright, alright, I go first!” brian exclaimed at the end while patting Vano on the shoulder. But before he actually left, Brian whispered, “You too, enjoy your time, Vano Alexander"

When Brian had left and Vanl had just realized what the man was saying, Vano's forehead creased. He didn't understand anything the man said to him. Not wanting to think long, Vano continued his activities. A few dozen minutes later, after finishing selecting the photos that would otherwise be printed, the, Vano turned off his laptop and put it in his bag while he put the camera in his bag to hang it over his neck. When he looked up, his eyes rounded seeing Kiara in front of him.

“O-oh, what's up?” ask Vano awkwardly.

“The staff said my sketchbook was on you,” Kiara said.

Vano frowned confusedly. “Sketchbook?”

Kiara nodded. “Hm, I was looking for him but I couldn't find him anywhere! Aish.. If the book is gone, I'm going crazy! There is a design of this project for the next two months and I have not copied it!”

“Really?!” Vano was surprised to learn how important the book was.

Kiara nodded. “But... From your reaction, it seems like the book is not on you. Then, I go first,” Kiara said as she turned around.

When Vano saw Sooji's back drifting away, the man fell silent. Suddenly she remembered Brian's words to her,

“Enjoy your time, Vano Alexander.”

After seeing Kiara, Vano gradually understood what Brian meant.

“Wait, Kiara!” exclaim Vano.

Kiara who was far enough away from him stopped walking and turned to face Vano with a questionable face.

“I'll help you find him!” exclaimed Vano again with a smile and walked over to Kiara.

“What?!” kiara asked half-screaming. Unbelievingly.

Vano walked up to Kiara until she was next to the girl. “Looks like I could guess what happened. But to make sure, we better go to your room first,” said the man.

Kiara still looked at him cluelessly. But Vano did not seem to want to explain anyway, so Kiara chose to obey and also walked towards her room.
