"What are you doing here? It's so nice to see you
again. Yeobo, your friend's here!"
🍂🍂🍂🍂"Thank you for tonight."
"You're welcome. But, you still owe me one."
"Sure!"
"Are you free on Saturday? My mom's actually going to visit me and since you said you want to see her again, you might want to come with me."
"Really? I'll free up my schedule this weekend."
"Great! She actually wants to see you too. I've told her about you."
"It has been a long time. She might have already forgotten me."
"She remembers you. I'm sure she'll be glad to see you again."
"That's nice to hear. Anyway, I've already done too much trouble to you tonight, you must be tired. See you on Saturday?"
"Sure. And no worries, seeing you tonight is the best part of my day."
Hearing it made Lily's heart flutter.
"Ye. Kaseyo. (Sure. Please leave)". She smiled at him and gestured for him to get inside the car.
"I'll leave when you get inside."
Lily waved goodbye to him as she slowly walked inside her apartment building. Namjoon waited for her to take the elevator before he went inside his car and drove off.
She opened the door and found Hoseok sitting by the window, drinking a can of beer."What took you so long?" Hoseok stood up and walked towards her.
Lily took her shoes off and picked up her slippers, "I'm sorry, my team had to finish our presentation for tomorrow's briefing."
Hoseok gave her a peck on the cheek, "Beer?", he offered.
"No thanks." She went to the sofa and he gave her a yogurt drink instead. He knows it's her favorite and she always have it in the fridge.
Lily sat on the sofa with both her legs on it. She looked at Hoseok move around her unit.
"Do you know who's the big client?"
"Nugu? (Who?)"
"Neo-ui eomoni. (Your mom)"
"Jinjja? (Really?) Are you planning to impress her?" He teased.
"Ani-yo. (No) But I'll do everything to get promoted. I think I deserve it."
He sat beside her and leaned "You really do", and he kissed her forehead.

The next day, her whole team presented the fruit of their hardwork to the executives of the company. They're all impressed and instructed just some minor revisions. Everything's set for their pitch.
Lily spent the whole night checking all the revisions and making sure that no mistake will be made tomorrow. Her team knows how strict she is when it comes to outputs and it gives them motivation to do their best too.
Friday.
Three teams from different companies arrived at the meeting room of the Jung's company, Gwangju's Summit. All of them prepared their pitches for the brewery products' ad to be introduced in Seoul. Lily gathered up her team and made sure that they will give the best presentation today.
The officials came into the room and her eyes met Jung Mi Rae's. She got a bit nervous, feeling that she has to impress her. Jung Mi Rae looked at her a little longer than the other people inside the room. Lily slightly bowed her head signifying respect.
