Chapter 1: Article Assignment
"Ga Eul, here's your assignment for the month." Eun Jae handed Ga Eul a piece of paper.
Ga Eul took it and read the words printed on the paper. "So Yi Jung?"
"So Yi Jung will be this month's cover. You have to interview him and make an article about him- a little bio, his pottery and you could also add a little about his private life. I'm counting on you, Ga Eul." Eun Jae said.
"Why are you giving this to me? I expected an assignment for an art exhibit or something."
"You are the only one in the staff I could trust with that article. If I gave that to any other writer in this magazine, I'm sure they'll just spazz about Yi Jung. As for you, I know that you would do this job professionally." Eun Jae answered.
"But Eun Jae, I can't do something this big! You know that I just started working in this magazine and then you're giving me this one?"
"I've told you my reason. Besides, wouldn't it be a break for you as a new writer in this art magazine? No more buts, Ga Eul. That's your assignment for the month. I'll be expecting a very good article from you. We need one. Yi Jung as the cover would surely sell to a lot of girls. Now, start with your work."
Ga Eul sighed. She is defeated. Surely, she can't complain to her editor-in-chief about this article. She breathed deeply. "Ga Eul, you can do that." she said to herself. "Aja!"
C,")
"Good morning. Woo Sung Museum. How may I help you?"
"Oh. Good morning." Ga Eul responded. "This is Chu Ga Eul from Art Today. I think you have received our letter a few days ago about Mr. So Yi Jung as our cover for the month. I would just like to schedule an interview with him."
"Alright. Let me check my boss's schedule first." The secretary paused for a short while. "He is fully booked throughout the week. Maybe next week?"
"Can't it be sooner?" Ga Eul asked. She wanted to finish the interview as fast as she could so that she could devote herself to writing the article over and over again if she needs to.
"He's only free after 7 PM every night. Should I schedule a dinner meeting, then?"
"If you could, please."
"Okay. I'll check it with him first." The line was quiet for a longer period now. After a few more minutes of waiting, the secretary came back on phone. "He said it'll be fine with him any day within the week. When should it be?"
"Could it happen tomorrow?" Ga Eul asked.
"Okay then. 7 PM? Is that okay?"
"Good."
"Where?" the secretary asked.
"Uhmmm. Pasta Italiano."
"Okay then. I'll repeat, your dinner meeting with Mr. So Yi Jung is tomorrow at 7 PM in Pasta Italiano."
"Yes." Ga Eul replied. "Thank you."
"Thank you too. Goodbye."
C,")
"Do you really have to shop for new clothes?" Jan Di asked as she followed Ga Eul in the mall. They are now in the ladies' section.
"It's So Yi Jung we're talking about here. I should at least look credible enough to interview him." Ga Eul reasoned out. She picked a pink button down blouse that falls just a little down her waist. She tried it on and asked Jan Di as she went outside the fitting room, "Do I look good?"
"You always look on good on whatever you wear." Jan Di answered.
"Should I buy this one?"
"Yeah. It will do for tomorrow." Jan Di answered. "Dress fast. I'm hungry already."
As the two were searching for a place to eat, Ga Eul can't stop herself from telling Jan Di how nervous she is to face Yi Jung tomorrow.
"Ga Eul, just be professional. Eun Jae gave that article to you because she knows you'd be one, right? Just do your job. I know you'll do great in that interview with him. And oh, don't be mesmerized that much, okay?"
"I won't." Ga Eul promised.
C,")
Ga Eul checked her watch for like the tenth time tonight. Her interviewee still hasn't arrived and it's already 8:00 PM. "Where could he be? The traffic's not that bad tonight." She sipped her iced tea once more. Afterwards, she fixed her newly brought blouse once more and peeked at the door. Still, no sign of Yi Jung. She grabbed her notebook from her bag and began to review the questions she will ask him tonight. As she was scanning through the questions, she heard a voice from behind saying, "Did you wait long?"
