REMEMBER ME?...
The Part 56
The shoot was completed at 9 p.m. The two models immediately bowed and thanked the crew and staff who had worked hard with them all day. Similarly, Vano, as the project leader, was the one who bowed deeply, thanking everyone for their hard work and cooperation. Brian came over to Vano and gave the man a warm hug.
“Finally, just one more location, right?” Brian asked as soon as he took off his embrace.
Vano. “Ah, Brian , tonight I will take Windy home, so you can go straight home,”.
“Windy—you know her?!”
Vano nodded again. The man then patted Brian on the shoulder several times again saying, “Thank you for your hard work. Tomorrow morning we will depart together to Gyeryong-san National Park.” Then the man turned around.
Before Vano walked away, Brian restrained his shoulders, making the man turn back to face Brian. “Vano... What is your relationship with Windy?” Ask Brian.
Vano raised next to his eyebrows, then after properly absorbing the question, he chuckled and slowly lowered Brian's arm on his shoulder. “We're friends, Brian. She was my friend at the same college and we were at the same modeling agency in America.”
“Only that?”
“Ya, just... that,” said Vano in a somewhat doubtful tone this time.
Brian was silent as he looked into Vano's eyes, trying to pick up a lie signal in the man's eyes that he couldn't get. After that, he smiled. “Once...I'm sorry, return him safely, Vano! I'll get his stuff out of my car.”
And Vano could only nod at Brian's offer and return to work out his gear while Brian walked to his car. Windy, who saw Brian walking toward his car, followed the man from behind.
“You will go home with Vano tonight.” Said Brian.
“I know.” Reply Windy.
Brian opened the trunk door of his car and started taking out his suitcases one by one. “Be careful on the road, don't forget to put your seatbelt—don't touch it! Let Vano get him in his car!—if he does strange things to you, tell me, okay?”
Windy laughed at Brian's words, causing the man to look at him in confusion after taking out all of Windy's luggage and closing the door.
“Don't worry, Windy, I've known him longer than I know you. And I'm good at karate, you know? Since Junior High I have been practicing karate! You don't have to worry~” Windy said with a smile.
Brian smiled then couldn't help himself and stretched out his hand to ruffle Windy's straight hair, making the girl scowl annoyed while trying to tidy up her hair again.

Windy notices Vano stuffing his photographer stuff into the trunk of his car and puts his suitcases in. After Vano closed the trunk of his car, he opened the front passenger seat door, allowing Windy to enter. And Windy didn't refuse. He entered the car. After closing the door for Windy, Vano walked around his car and entered the driver's seat right next to Windy.
On the way, Vano asked a lot of questions about how Windy's mother in America was doing, how the college girl—which actually goes badly because she often does not enter because of her busy schedule—also how ‘gogo’ a pet cat them in America who is pregnant.
“Where do we want dinner? Pizza or Italian food? You choose,” said Vano.
“You think it's better to eat what?” windy Protest.
“Italian Food? I think that's a good idea.”
Windy smiled. He was satisfied to know that Vano still remembered his habits—well, the man had only been gone for two months, not a long time to forget it. He looked at the man's face intently, from the tip of his hair to the tip of his chin which he realized looked perfect. Then his eyes turned on the man's fingers. The fingers of his right hand are above the gears while the fingers of his left hand are above the steering wheel. When she discovered something strange, Windy lifted one end of her lips, forming a sneer.
“Wah... look who changed here! You said you hated wearing any accessory on your hands other than a watch, but it turns out you were wearing a ring! Dae~bak!” windy exclaimed excitedly.
Vano turned his gaze for a moment on his left hand, where a ring made of real silver was embedded in his ring finger. He sighs. “This is not an accessory.”
“Hm, I'm engaged.”
Windy remained silent.
“Family business.. I didn't think papa would involve me and my future.”.
Windy was silent.
“Sorry..,”
Windy snorted half laughing. “Cih... You don't have to apologize, Vano,”. “You're not even my lover.”
Vano bit his lip. Somehow he also felt guilty—though it was not his fault—but at least once, he once admitted that he would love Windy forever, but this time when the girl came, he said, he told her that he was engaged to someone else. He knew he was cruel, so he apologized. But seeing how Windy treated earlier, it actually increased his injuries, not made him improve.
“Ah. It's okay, if we cancel the dinner?” Ask Windy.
Vano. Therefore, Windy again said, “We go home. My brother's apartment is in Gangnam, Cheondamdong.”
The man chose to obey and nodded instead of having to argue further with the girl. If you can be honest, Vano feels he still likes the girl and he feels selfish because at the same time, he wants to have Sooji but does not want to let go of Soojung. Soojung is too precious to let go—in his opinion.
The 15 minutes that felt like 2 hours to them, passed with silence enveloping the two. No one wants to open a conversation. They were still busy arranging their respective hearts, busy with their respective thoughts, so that everything they would talk about would sound awkward. That's why they chose silence.
Finally, after touring Cheondamdong, they arrived at the apartment of Windy's sister, which turned out to be an elite apartment complex in South Korea. Vano dropped Windy off at the entrance of the apartment, called for a waiter to bring Windy's suitcases, then stood in front of him.
“Good night, then,” Vano said with a faint smile and waved his hand.
Windy did not reply and instead looked at Vano's eyes sharply. “I want to ask you one thing.”
Vano raised next to his brows, hinting at Windy to continue his words.
“Do you like—don't—love your fiancee?” Ask Windy.
Vano. A sense of tension began to take hold of him, and he did not know why he could not even answer that simple question.
“Do I still have a chance?” Ask Windy again.
Of course Vano doesn't answer anymore. Besides, he doesn't know what he wants to say. This question was so sudden that he could not even afford and dared not think of any answer in his head. Knowing this, Vano felt himself to be completely selfish.
“If you just shut up, I'll think of it as ‘iya’, Vano.” Windy warned.
Vano did not answer.
Windy covered the smile on his lips. “Thank you, from now on, I'll be the one chasing you, Vano. So prepare yourself. I don't care who your fiance is. As long as you don't like it but can't escape it, I won't let you go either.” Windy. Then the girl's hand was raised. “Good night!”
