“Can I get a cup of coffee?” Hyun Joong asked as he settled at a table in the café. He had arrived a few minutes early. He had no idea why Kim Bum had told him to come here today, though he had a bad feeling something was going to happen, he still came. Kim Bum arrived not long after.
“Hey.” He said. He didn’t sound all that happy, though he didn’t look mad either. He had a man behind him, in a black suit, almost like a bodyguard. He sat down in the chair across from Hyun Joong as said: “This is my family butler, also my secretary. Now, how much do you exactly need to revive your company?” He asked. Hyun Joong unable to believe this fact started adding up the numbers in his head. “Is five hundred million enough?” Kim Bum asked impatiently. Hyun Joong nodded. “Give him a cheque of five hundred million.” He told the butler.
“Certainly, young master.” He replied, and dug into his pocket for the cheque book. He gave it to Kim Bum when he was finished. Kim Bum sighed.
“Don’t you ever think of using my girlfriend ever again.” He said as he handed Hyun Joong the cheque. Hyun Joong was happy he finally got the money to save his money, though he really like the way Kim Bum said things.
“Thank-you.” Hyun Joong said. He put the cheque in his coat pocket, and turned back to Kim Bum. “I wasn’t going to use So Eun.” He lied.
“Whatever.” Kim Bum said. He got up and left, leaving Hyun Joong alone at the café.
“Hye Sun? We’re saved!” Hyun Joong said. He had called her to tell her the good news.
“What do you mean?” She asked.
“So Eun’s boyfriend saved us!”
“What?” She was confused, Kim Bum helping us? Impossible!
“He gave me five hundred million.” Hyun Joong explained. Before he could say anymore Hye Sun had hung up. She didn’t know why, but she didn’t want Kim Bum’s money. She knew if they accepted the money, So Eun would surely hate them. She dialed the number of So Eun’s phone, and waited for her to answer.
“So Eun?” She asked when she picked up.
“Yes?”
“Hyun Joong just called, Kim Bum…”
“What about Kim Bum?” So Eun asked worriedly, scared Kim Bum had gotten into some accident.
“He gave us five hundred million to save the company.” Hye Sun explained. After hearing this, So Eun hung up, and called Kim Bum.
“Hello?” He answered.
“Kim Bum, do you have some time?” She asked
“Sure, I’ll come pick you up.” He said, and then hung up.
So Eun knew how important the money was to Hyun Joong’s company, though she didn’t want it to be from Kim Bum. It might not seem a lot of money to him, but it was to So Eun. She didn’t want Kim Bum to give them money to save the company. She didn’t want to feel like she owed him something. She wanted to be equal with him. She’d rather earn the money herself, even if it would take her years, maybe more.
“What’s wrong?” Kim Bum asked when she got into his car.
“Why’d you give him the money?” She asked.
“He needs it for the company, as long as he—“
“I don’t want you giving him money. Yes, maybe he really needs the money, but I don’t want it from you. I don’t want to owe you anything, I don’t want—“Kim Bum hugged her tight.
“I gave him the money, because I knew he really needed it.” He explained, “I know you want to earn it yourself, but I don’t want to you to go through all that pain. Because you’re my girlfriend, because I love you.”
“I want to be equal to you, so that it doesn’t seem like I owe you anything—“
“You don’t, and you’ll never will, because we’re equal.” He said as he placed his lips on hers. He broke the kiss after a few seconds, and said: “Don’t worry about it, it’s nothing.” He hugged her more tightly, and rested his head on top of hers.
“Thank-you,” She whispered, “Thank-you for everything you’ve done.”
