​

'Time to love but never enough.' (a quote)

That made sense now. He wonders if time has flown like this. After leaving his traces on her pretty lips as she once again agrees with his words, she smiled and laughed.

"Let's go."

Holding her hand tightly and gently smiling, her figure was as warm and dazzling as the sunshine. He was used to this city, but the strange street now feels cozy and warm just like her. She grabbed his hand and looked at him. It was the magic of love. It' s a powerful feeling that couldn't escape from his whole essence. And won't for a long time.

"Yeah. Let's go."

They went to the HollyWood street that she wanted to see.

"Wow… ... "

Before she came to the United States, she saw a lot of travel reviews that had pictures of this area. As soon as she saw what she hoped to see, she lifted her lips, opened widly her eyes and looked around. It was a place that she found chafming and simple. She searched until she found it. She looked down and saw the floor with clutter, but she saw the handprint that she was looking for. A handprint of a well know chinese person.

"This is it."

She bowed her head and looked at the floor for a long time and looked hard at the stars. She then put her hands on the engraved floor. 

"Could you help us to take a picture, please!"

He took the picture and showed her. She was in a squat on the floor and laughed beautifully. She loved it

"Have you already went to see this?"

"Yes."

"Ah… ... You've seen it a lot ... ... "

Suk Wan smiled at the picture in his cell phone.

"Hey, let's go over there. There is a lot of people"

Tourists gathered and looked at the crowded place with curious eyes and pointed with their fingers and moved.

"Wow… ... Superman. Oh, there's Mickey Mouse ... ... "

Looking at the people who are doing cosplay all over the place, her eyes gleamed.

"Do you like that?"

"Yeah. I am going to go ask if I can take a picture with them."

"Hello, can I take a picture with you?"

Superman fixed his gaze and said:

"Yes."

As soon as it was her turn, she comes to the front of Superman and greets him awkwardly. Suk Han laughed and steadied his cell phone to be ready to take a picture.


'uh… ... . '
 

In a short moment, Superman, wraps around her waist with a bloody arm. Suk Han frowns as he put his cellphone down. He wanted so badly to hit that bad arm away from his Shi Won.

"Take a quick shot!"

"Ah… ... Yeah."

He put on a disgruntled expression and with his cellphone, put the two people on the screen. He looked at it meaningully. Click - Superman was halfway off the screen, only showing his face and upper body. Suk Han smiled with satisfication.


"Did you take it?"

"Yeah."

Superman gave him a giggle and laughed, gazing at the Suk Han with pity in his eyes.
He then pointed out.

"Look here."

"Oh! Marilyn Monroe. "

"uh! Where! "

His voice quickly turned her head toward where his finger pointed.

"Wow, very pretty!"

Without looking at the picture, he quickly looked at where she is rushing to and put his phone away in his pocket. Her excitement did not cool for a while. It was aimed to be a date, but after all, this was a place where the boyfriend will always be a photographer. He regretted that he did not tire her out this morning, that way, he woudn't have suffered so much. His arm strength was going and Suk Han gives out a sigh of sadness, shook his wrist again and looked at where Shi Won was going.

"Yes, I am going!"

It was not until a long time that the tourist's play was over. Shi Won looked up at him with a grinning smile in his arms.

"Did we take up all the space on your phone?  Can I still take more pictures? "

"Well… ... "

"Do you have more left?"

"Yeah."

"Let's go quickly. Here."

"... ... ? "

She looked around the area.

"Let's take it here. We do not have a single photo taken together. "

"Ah… ... "

"Come on. Take out your cell phone. "

"I do not really like  ... ... "

"I do not like to take selfies," she said.

"What a character! I'll take it. Smile." Suk Han said.

"Oh my! Wait"


"Hmm?"

When a woman took a photo, it is alway the man who did not know how sensitive her face was when taking a photo. She looked at him  bewildering eyes. Shi Won quickly came back behind his back, pushing her chin over his shoulders and pushing her face in.

"Please bend your legs."

Suk Won gently bent his knees as she pushed his shoulders with her chin.

"That's Okay?"

"Bend a little more."

"That's Okay?"

"Ah… ... But my face is too big. "

Is he being punished again??

"My arm hurts. That's Okay?"

"Yeah!"

"I'll take it. one two… ... "

A quick smile came to Suk Han's face who quickly clicked to take the picture.

She looked at a picture that she could not take her eyes off of for a long time.

"Good?"

"Yeah! I like this picture better than others"

"... ... "

"When I have to go back, I want to be able to see this picture. Wouldn't it be a little less lonely then? "

He gazed at her gazing at his smile on the picture
. He felt a sense of loneliness at the thought of her leaving him.

"Shi Won."

"Yes?"

"Will you quit the company?"

"Hmm? What? "

"If you resigned from the company, you can stay with me. You may die on the plane when you return. "

"Oops, what ... ... "

"If you don't go, you'll be saving lives ... ... "

She smiled and said, "Do not be ridiculous." She looked back at the picture and smiled at him in the picutre. When Suk Han looked at the picture with a small sigh, Shi Won turned her head and looked at him and laughed.

"why? Ah. Is it hard? Sorry. I went too far? "

"I can not say no."

"I know. Now I'm done. I'm hungry. "

He is also hungry for two things. One is food and other is...

"Let's go."

He walked the road and picked out a favorite restaurant. He ordered a McAnn cheese and a steak according to the claim that she would eat a lot of things she wanted to eat in America. He thought about it in the morning, she had a meal with bread and fruit.

"Sorry. You can not eat rice properly because of me. "

She smiled awkwardly while looking at the sweetness of eating bread by hand with the appetizer.

"I will not die because I am hungry."

He also smiled a little at her answer.

"Are you going to the company tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have to go tomorrow. What are you going to do without me? "

"Well. I should go sightseeing. I have to go to Universal Studios. The observatory seems to be opened... ... And… ... "

She lifted her eyes up and looked at the route that she would walk around alone. Zzzz-zzzz - When she felt the vibration in her bag, Shi Won took out her cellphone and looked at the screen. - Na Rae - Shi won looked at him and he nodded. She then brought her cellphone to her ear.

"Hello?"

[Sister! where are you?]

"I am in America. Why? Is work okay? "

[Ah! When you come back, you will be chastised by me! How am I going to do all this now ... ... . Wow ... ... . No it is not that important now.]

"All right. I promised you that I will do everything when I come back . Why did you call me? "

[Shi Won, did you hear?]

Suddenly her voice is filled with excitement
.


"What?"

[We announced the planned merger.]

"Oh yeah?"

Of course, she did, but she did not know that the official announcement was happening so soon.

[You did not know?]

"uh. I did not know."

[Then you didn't know that either? Why didn't you talk with me? ]

"What?"

[Moon! No, Mr. Moon! He's the son of a company president there.]

 

She turned her eyes towards him..

'What?' (he mouthed)

Shee smiled a little while staring at him, blushing without making a sound.

"Huh. Okay. Are you busy? "

[Sister! Sister! Did you hear me?]

"Hey! Do not call me for nothing. This is an international call? Hang up. "

[Sister! Sister!]

When she heard the urgent voice, she pressed the end button and put away the cell phone in her bag.

"Is it Na Rae? Why did she call you? Was it important?"

Looking at Suk Han who is asking lightly, Shi Won smiled and laughed.

"No."

"What ?"

"She just called to say that she was busy. There's a lot of work. "

Suk Han nodded.

"I know. I'll bring back something delicious for her. "

At the moment, Shi Won opened her mouth and looked blankly at Suh Han.

"What?" (Shi Won)

"Ah… ... My chief. I made a promise to introduce her to someone."  (Suk Han)

​

"Is it serious? like a commitment?" (SW)

"Yeah." (SH)


",,,,," (SW)

"You are responsable for this, for Na Rae's blind date. " (SH)

"Am I?"

"Yeah. That's it. "

"Eh?"

 

....



"Do you know his personality? "

"Yeah. I know him "

She is very excited.

"If you bite once, do not let it go. You'll have to keep your mind ready. "

"Hmm?!"

He opened his mouth with his arms raised on the table with a serious face.

"Do you remember the last time we broke our partnership contract and the chief was in trouble?"

She nodded as if she knew of course.

"That was Na Rae's success again, and she was praised by the team leader."

"Yeah. At that time, I did not want to contract with the company, I do not know that Na Rae succeeded because he went after her day and night,

"Ah… ... "

"I was worried about how I was being reported to the police. The staff also said that the representative had a lot of hardship and was so scared that how much comfort he had in mind ... ... . After that, she got a nickname. "

"Nickname? What is it? "

"Get out of the way!"

"Wow ... ... "

"You did not make it that crazy. It's perfect! I'm not saying just now. Be prepared for your heart! "

"I can do it a few times. Is not it too much until we get married? "

 

Suk Han must have everything prepared. This is a big responsibility and a great task.

"Do I still have to worry about sending someone else to marry someone else who does not know who I am going to marry?"

"... ... "

Suk Han gently turned his head and said, "It was like saying,

"If someone tells me that they will marry me ... ... "

"... ... "

 

Message: this part (up) was confusing, comment if there is another way to portray this part. SOS

She looked at her stomach, but it was sensation of being hungry. It was something else because of what he said. Though it was a mischievous thrill, the heart  began to run a little faster because she knew that it contained important meaning. Of course, so was the heart of a person. The restaurant staff showed up with the food they had ordered while they were worried about whether they should take it or play it seriously. She looked at the food in front of her, and they did not look at each other. He looked at the back of the employee who was leaving for a good time. Suk Han then, who was looking at her face, covered his lips with his hands and smiled a little, and tilted his head sideways. He was thrilled to want to bear it casually, but it seemed burdensome.

"The food arrived. Let's eat."

"Ah… ... Yes. So you're doing a blind date for them? "

She quickly pulled out the story that had been broken by awkwardness.

"Yes, I know I'll find it hard. I would not have seen this beautiful face for a month if it was not Na Rae ... ... We have to do our best! " So this was in return for allowing her to come see him.

Soon after that, she laughed beautifully.

"Looks delicious!!"

"Let's eat"

How would you eat when you feel full, even though you didn't eat anything? If he feels this, he looked at her as if she was a mirage. She was concentrating on eating for a long time, lifting her head and she looked up at Suk Han.

"Why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?

"Yeah. I am… ... "

"Then eat. "

"I can eat but I just want to look at you for a little while"


"...Would you please call me?"

He smiled as he looked down at her, she was gazing at him with a grim look.

"I will "

He then fed her a piece of meat by fork.

"Suk Han I'm not the kind of girl who shares the meat.  You know? "

It is only for the eyes of Suk Han that she dressed beautifully like this, only for him and he knew that. He had affectionate eyes and looked at her for a long time. Shi Won drank and looked at him.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ah! No. It 's just that when I first met you that day you were really pretty as you are  now. "

"... ... "

Her face gotten red. She thought that maybe it was time when Suk Han came to greet for the frist time at the office three months ago. When he came to the office for the first time, she began to laugh and laugh, unable to tolerate the laughing climb. At this appearance, Suk han smiled and gazed at her.

"Why are you laughing? "

"Ah… ... I also remember when we first met. "

"But was it funny?"

"Yeah! It was your first day in the office. "

"What the? . "

He knew very well why she was laughing, so he looked at her and laughed.

"Was it that funny?"

"Mister, do you not know?"

"What?"

"The first time you came to me, the staff gathered in the common room and scold me very seriously."

"I beg your pardon?"

"I think it's a real hit man. I can not do that unless I do it very well. "

"what the."

She laughed for a while and she blinked at his eyes filled with anxiousness.

"So you were against me that day?"

From the day we first met, he would have been in love with him from that day. Her eyes gleamed with a look that was filled with anticipation.

"It is not that day."

"Huh? Since when? "

Looking at the expression full of curiosity, a soft smile sat down on the face of Suk Han.

"It was good from the first moment I saw it."

"... ... "

"From the very first moment you saw it?"

"Not saying ... you don't remember? "

At the end of the meeting, Suk Han asked his wife with a silly expression. She tried to put together the puzzles of memory for a while, but she did not think about it at all. Suh Han smiled a little at her frowning  face that was filled with thought, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed her face with his thumb. When the touch of Suk Han reached, her eyes glowed and blinked. Suk Hans hand, which slipped on her face, came down and grabbed her little hand on the table. Shi Won's eyes, which had come down along his hands overlapping hers, returned to his face. The lips of Suk Hann, who smiled a lot, slowly opened.

​

"You don't remember?"

Message: So, after a lot of thinking and some help from @Snow, I have decided to not translate "To be a professional Imperial Concubine" by the same author as "Eight Treasures Trousseau" because I feel that I will not be able to correctly portray the novel in English with my level. I will concentrate on "Suspicious Manager Moon" and later on I'll find some modern settings novels to translate. :)

​

I hope that someone will translate it though! It sounds so interesting...

​

I hope you had a good read of chapter 44. I just wanted to let you know that I will have to stop for a while because it is now time for my exams. Kill me now.

​

I will probably put up some chapters as a Christmas gift but I don't when I can do that. But stay tune!

​

I will come back maximum on Janurary 7, 2019.

​

Until then! À bientot les enfants!
