After Park Daniel had readily agreed to the plan within the span of three seconds, Rosé Yang knew that she was cornered with nowhere to run to. So, she willingly surrendered to Lalisa Park's plan and prayed for the best.
Right after Park Daniel agreed to the plan, Lalisa Park's phone went off. Her manager had called Lalisa Park to audition, for a perfume campaign of a very prominent company. With no power to go against her stern manager, Lalisa Park remorsefully parted ways with Rosé Yang.
Sometimes, it amused Rosé Yang how clingy Lalisa Park was. They’ve been like this since they were in diapers...
Rosé Yang walked out of the hospital and realized how early in the afternoon it was. The sun was bright in the sky, and it was only two in the afternoon.
Because her schedule was blank without any important meetings with her grandfather, Rosé Yang decided to burn some time and roam around the streets of Seoul.
After a few hours of mindless window shopping, enjoying lunch at a cute little cafe, and visiting the closest bookstore, the sun was finally going down.
Rosé Yang glanced at her watch and was surprised to read it was six o’clock. She was more surprised that even after her long walks, she was still within the vicinity of First Hospital. As a matter of fact, the enormous white building was just across the street.
Deciding that it was best to go home, she was prepared to hail a cab home, but something caught her attention.
An old grandmother was selling vegetables, but she didn’t seem to have done a lot of business. Her cart was still full, despite the long day she spent trying to sell them.
Rosé Yang hurriedly walked to the nearest corner store, bought a packet of hand warmers, then walked to the elderly woman.
"Good afternoon, ma’am." Rosé Yang politely greeted the old woman.
She was surprised at the sight of a wide variety of locally grown vegetables. They seemed to be really fresh and well-grown.
"Good afternoon, young lady." The woman smiled, revealing fine likes of wrinkles of an aged grandmother.
"It’s quite cold tonight, this should warm you up." Rosé Yang placed the hand warmer into the granny’s hand, surprising her in the process.
"Oh my, thank you, dear. I didn’t think youngsters these days were so polite." She brightly said, placing a few extra pieces of vegetables into Rosé Yang's bag for free.
"Ah, there’s no need-" But it was too late, the woman had already placed a few additional things into Rosé Yang's bag.
"Don’t worry dear. Kindness is priceless." The woman smiled again, her eyes crinkling.
Rosé Yang bit her lips and decided that it was best to buy more. The vegetables were decently priced, maybe a bit lower than the commercially grown supermarket plants, but the grandmother was really humble about the prices.
"Oh my, what a big family you have to feed." The granny chuckled at the amount of vegetable that Rosé Yang was buying.
"No, no, I don’t have a family. I just really enjoy eating vegetables." Rosé Yang chuckled at the idea of a family. Did she look that old? Perhaps a new mother? The sudden thought of becoming a mother prickled her heart. Suddenly, painful memories threatened to resurface, but Rosé Yang managed to compose herself and push them down.
"My grandfather really like organic and locally grown food from the countryside. He thinks it’s healthier." Rosé Yang explained, picking up a few more leafy greens.
She hadn’t made him home-cooked meals in a while and thought it might be a good gesture to visit him soon and cook for him.
"Indeed it is." The woman nodded to herself, weighing the vegetables that Rosé Yang picked up.
There was something suspicious about this kind and gentle grandmother, but Rosé Yang ignored it. She blamed it on the night sky and the unflattering light of the street lamps.
"You should go home now, young lady. It’s getting quite dark. It’s not good for a beautiful woman like you to roam around the streets." The granny worriedly said, hurriedly packing up the vegetables.
"Thank you, granny. I hope you’re planning on going home early as well. The cold is settling in. It’s not good for your health and body." Rosé Yang took off the scarf she wore and placed it around the woman’s neck.
If this was the old Rosé Yang, she wouldn’t have cared about the elders. She used to think that they talked too slow or nagged too much. But after maturing in two years, she had long retracted that belief.
Now, she valued her elders a lot more and worried about them.
"Oh my, what a lovely scarf! Are you sure you want to give it away?" The woman asked, her hands lightly touching the soft material.
Rosé Yang readily nodded. "Of course. It will keep you warm." She said, helping the woman wrap it around her neck.
"Thank you, dearie. You’re simply too kind. " The women warmly said, as her wrinkled hands patted Rosé Yang's contrasting smooth hand.
"Now, off you go. Wouldn’t want you to get home so late." The woman jokingly shooed Rosé Yang away. She lightly laughed and after bidding the woman goodbye, she began to walk away.
The entire time she walked off, she didn’t realize the heavy stare on her back. The gaze had been on her for a while now, starting from the first moment that Rosé Yang decided to buy a pack of hand warmers...
The man was surprised to see Rosé Yang act so politely towards the elderly. He thought she wasn’t capable of kindness and placing the need of others above her own...
Was that really Rosé Yang?
No, it was probably just some woman that looked like her. The Rosé Yang that he knew, was a vengeful and cruel woman who wouldn’t understand the word "kindness" even if you tied her down and forced her to memorize it.
Jeong Jaehyun took one last puff of his cigarette before throwing it on the ground and stubbing it with the heel of his leather shoes.
He was originally going to visit the hospital when he heard Park Enterprise’s Big Boss was gravely injured in a horrific car accident.
Jeong Jaehyun didn’t plan to see Rosé Yang, but his intrigued eyes couldn’t help but follow her interactions with the elderly grandmother. He was so surprised to see her act that way, he was inclined to look on further to prove that it was truly Rosé Yang he was staring at.
But his car was a good few meters away from the cart, so it was hard to catch a glimpse of the woman.
"Sir, it’s not good to stand in the cold for so long. We should head inside and pay our respects to CEO Park." His private secretary, Kimberly, a beautiful woman in her early twenties, spoke up.
She was curious about what he had been staring at while he was smoking, but because Jeong Jaehyun's frame was so tall and she was standing on his left side, she couldn’t see anything.
"Fine, let’s go." Jeong Jaehyun curtly said. He strolled into the hospital with his hands tucked into the pockets of his fitted suit.
Kimberly followed him but stood one step behind him out of respect. She checked her tablet and realized there was a new message.
"Madam Bang's daughter, Yang Yuna's birthday is coming up. She has invited you to come, will you accept the invitation?" Kimberly relayed the message.
Jeong Jaehyun didn’t think his decision through before answering her.
"Reject it. I don’t have time for these useless birthday banquets." Jeong Jaehyun walked through the automatic sliding doors of the hospital and made his way to the elevator.
"Ah, but Ms. Tzuyu is a friend of Yang Yuna and has expressed interests-"
"Then accept the invitation." Jeong Jaehyun smiled at the opportunity of making Chou Tzuyu happy.
Recently, they’ve gotten into a small misunderstanding, and she was angry at him.
Perhaps this birthday banquet would cheer her up...
