The Engagement

Zoe

***

"How are you? How's your workmate? Are they good to you?" Micah asked.

I'm doing a video call with them right now since it's my day off. I haven't called them for a long time. I also want to know how they are.

"I'm doing great the team are very nice to me. Actually, we're living in a rental house together so I have time to get to know them more." I answered

"Really? That's good to hear. I think we won't worry that much." Venice said

"You don't really have to. How about you guys? How are you? Where is Faith? I don't see her?" I asked

"We're doing fine, Faith is on her way here let's just wait for a minute" Micah replied

"Okay, so what's new?" I said

"Nothing same old..." she stops when Faith suddenly appeared

"Oh my gosh, did you see the news? Luxe is engaged, I thought that was just a joke but it's real. I can't believe Luxe would do this..." she saw me on the screen and covered her mouth "Zoe! Sorry I didn't mean to say those things" she apologized

"Come on no need to be sorry I'm fine" and I smile at her

I can see that Venice and Micah are looking at her. Hearing Luxe’s name was not a big deal to me anymore, we already broke up and it's time to forget everything. He hurt me a lot but it doesn't mean my life will stop there, I also need to continue and live my life to the fullest you know.

"Who are you talking to?" Kris suddenly appear in front of me

"When did you get here? This is my room?" I asked confusedly

"I was knocking but you won't open so I come in. I thought maybe something happened to you" he explained

"Oh sorry, I'm currently talking to my friends and didn't hear you knock." I said

"It's okay, go down when your finish lunch is ready" he responds

"Yeah sure, don't wait for me and start eating. I'll be there in a minute." I said

"Okay noona" then he leaves

"Who's that pretty looking guy?" Venice asked with curiosity

"He's one of our models in the company, he wears mostly of my designs so you must watch it since the fashion show will be aired tomorrow." I said

"Of course we will, but you have to introduce him to us when we visit there" Venice replied

"I will" and smile at them "Anyway, I'll just call you later we're just going to eat. Take care okay?" I said

"Eat a lot and take care of yourself too. Don't worry because we're doing fine." Faith said and threw a flying kiss at me. I throw a flying kiss back to them and say goodbye. After that, I go downstairs to join the others.

"Eonnie, waseo uliwa hamkke (come and join us)" Ji soo said, I sit down beside Amber

"Eumsig-eul jusyeoseo gamsahabnida (Thank you for the food)" I said and start eating

"Dangsin-ui dijain-eun sangdanghi bihyeonsiljeog-ibnida. (Your designs are pretty impressive.)" Seon Woo said complimenting my works

"Gomawo choeseon-eul da halge (Thank you, I'll do my best) oppa" and smile at him

"You’re doing your best noona, I'm looking good with all the clothes you design for me. No wonder you’re so popular at America actually around the world." Kris said happily

"Okay stop complimenting me already and just eat." I told him

"I'm going to buy some fabric. Do you want to come after this? It's good that the designer can see which fabric is better to use." Seo Woo said, they are all good at English here so it's not hard for us to communicate.

"Sure that would be nice" I replied

"Can we come too?" Amber asked

"You mean you two?" and point at Kris and her

"Yup" she answered

"Okay fine but don't be a headache and behave yourself" he's funny while telling them to behave

"ne(Yes) hyeong" Kris said happily

"Okay hurry up so we can leave" I said and we ate.

Jong is not here today since he was out of the country for a seminar and meetings. He's a very busy man so we can't see him recently and he just rarely comes home because of his schedules. Sometimes I want to tell my brother that he must give him a break, I just felt sorry for him.

"Go and enjoy your hang out together, I'm going to stay here and take some more sleep" Ji soo said as she fixes the plates

"What do you want for dinner? We’ll buy it" I asked

"Chicken please" she answered while smiling brightly

"Okay" then I helped her to fix the plates. After that, I went back to my room to change. It's our first time going out together since I got here. Anyway, I'll be having fun today for sure.

(A/N: This is just some knowledge about the way Koreans address their older sister and brother. Oppa "an older brother", and it is only used when a girl is calling an older brother or an older man who she trusts. Eonnie (Older Sister) When a younger female calls older sister. Noona (older sister) when males speak to older females. Hyung or Hyeong (older brother) when males speak to older males. One more thing I put an English translation in every word that we can't understand, I have to challenge myself in writing using some other languages so I hope you like it.)

I was a little bit sad my mom couldn't come today. She's been busy lately though she knows that it's an important event today. I also want her to witness this great day of my life.

"Congrats Dr. Park, finally you two are getting married" I look at him and smile

"Dr. Zie, I'm glad you can come, I thought you’re going to reject me" I'm happy to see him

"How could I do that? I wouldn't miss this important day to you" he said

"Thank you, Dr. Zie" he's too nice to me

"How could you do this to me Dr. Zie you don't even come to my engagement," Luxe said as he came to us.

"Luxe, sorry I didn't come. I had a three surgery to do that day, so I hope you understand" he explained

"I'm just kidding Dr. Zie" then he pats him "Anyway congratulation Dr. Park, let's have a drink sometimes," he said and shake my hands

"Sure let's do that" I replied

"So when is your wedding?" Dr. Zie asked him

"We're both busy so we decide to do it next year" he answered

"Sorry guys but I have to leave you two. Please enjoy the party" I said and leave them to see my mom outside.

"Mom, I thought you weren't coming." I said in relief

"How can I not attend it's your engagement" she looks so happy for me

"Thanks, mom" and I hugged her "Come on, I'll introduce you to Camille's dad." I said as we go inside

"Auntie! I'm glad you came" Camille said happily walking toward us and she hugs my mom

"You’re so pretty today Camille, here it's for you" my mom gave her a present

"What is this?" Camille ask her

"Open it," she said

"Wow! Thank you auntie" Camille was so touched by my mom's present. It was an Infinity-style white gold necklace. You can see white sapphire and Swarovski crystal on some parts of the pendant.

"This is a symbol of everlasting love and I want the two of to be happy and love each other until your last breath," my mom said

"We will mom" and I smile at her

"Michis that you?" suddenly aunt Juliet came (the mom of Camille)

"Juliet!" my mom hug her "Glad to see you again" and she smiles at her

"I know it's been so long since we saw each other. Did you already meet my husband?" Aunt Juliet asked

"Not yet, anyway where is he?"

"He was in his office upstairs, doing something related to his job. He'll be here in a minute" aunt answered

"Oh okay," we left them to have some time together and go to meet the other visitors outside.

"I'm happy to see them together, it's like we're already a family." Camille said while smiling

"We're already a family, so you should get used to it" I kiss her hand and smile at her

"Stop doing that you’re making me blush"

"But I want to" she blushed even more and it's cute

"You two look good together" we looked at her and Camille was so shocked to see her.

"Dawn!" she muttered

"Long time no see Cam" she smiled. I can see that Camille is frozen and can't even say something.

"Are you okay?" I asked her, but she didn't respond "Camille, are you still with me?" and I tap her

"Ugh what?" she asked confusedly

"I said are you okay?" I replied

"Yeah, I'm fine sorry" she looked at me

"Are you sure?" she seems a bit tense

"Yup" and she tried to smile

"By the way, who is she?" I looked at the girl but she was already gone. I looked around and she was nowhere to be found. "Did you see where she went?" I asked

"What are you talking about?" she asked

"The girl that was standing here earlier, she even talk to you" I said

"I don't know what you're talking about, there's no girl here," she said

"No, I saw her" don't tell me it was just my imagination

"I think you saw it wrong, we're the only person who's here," she said but I can see that she's trying to hide something

"But I heard her speak, she even said that we look good together" I'm not dreaming or imagining things. She's there I saw her

"Come on, you must be tired " and she pulled me inside and gave me a drink. I can't be wrong, someone just talked to us, and she even froze because of that girl. Is she trying to lie to me already?
