CHAPTER 1: It's Not Nothing

"Soon Shin-ah, I know we've only been together for a year but I know deep in my heart that you are the one… Will you marry me?" Shin Jun Ho was pacing back and forth holding the ring box in front of him as if talking to Lee Soon Shin. "Aish! I don't know how to do this!"

"Soon Shin-ah, I love you and… and…" He tried again for the nth time. "Aish! This won't do! Shin Jun Ho, why can't you do this right! Why is this thing so hard to do?!"

He closed his eyes, exhaled, and tried one more time.

"Soon Shin-ah –

"Daepyonim!" Lee Soon Shin shouted from afar.

Jun Ho hurriedly placed the ring box in his jacket and faced Soon Shin, smiling as if he was just waiting for her and not doing something else. Soon Shin returned his smile and waved while he half ran half walked towards her.

"Are you done for today? Where's the production crew? I don't see them at all." Jun Ho asked her.

"We were done an hour ago. The team already left while I was looking for you." Soon Shin explained, "But Daepyonim, what were you doing behind the tree? It looked like a serious matter because you haven't even noticed that we ended the shoot."

"Oh… that…well, you see…" He stalled while looking for good excuse. " Uhmm… I was looking at something…"

"Ne?"

"Hummph… Just forget it. It's just work. It's nothing."

"But if it's about your work then it's not nothing."

"I told you it's nothing, okay?" If you just know what I was doing back there…

"Well, if you say so." Soon Shin didn't question further.
