Austin's POV
Around nine in the morning, I tried to use the car that TJP lent me and I wandered around first because I was looking for something, I was looking for ongoing constructions so that my dad would believe what he told me.
My phone rings, so who is this? Good thing I had my earphones on.
"Hello?"
"Hi Austin, it's me, Coleen"
"Oh hi Coleen, why did you call for?"
"Strawberry will arrive from Bangkok at one in the afternoon, I need you later because I will introduce you later to Strawberry as their assistant" –Coleen
"Ahh, is that so? Ohh, I'll be back later"
"Huh? Where are you going?" -Coleen
"I used the car TJP lent me, because I'm looking for something, do you know of any buildings that are under construction?"
"Ongoing?? All I know is there is a building being built one kilometer away from TJP Building, not sure if it's a building because it's wide, why are you looking for that?" -Coleen
"I haven't told you yet, I'm a civil engineer, of course, I'm also interested in buildings and structures especially here in Korea"
"Wow, engineer, but I know that it's near the TJP Building, behind Changsin Market" –Coleen
"Alright thank you, Coleen, I'll just call you when I get back"
"Ok gamsahabnida" –Coleen
I went further, there was a building nearby that was under construction. It's better to be closer so I can go back to the condo right away, and I'm excited because I'll be able to see my baby loves.
I have arrived at the site that Coleen told me about, the construction is still ongoing, and only steel columns are still standing, is this a warehouse?
I took a picture of the outside view but I couldn't go in because there was a guard on duty and the construction was ongoing. But this is ok, the important thing is that I can show something to my Dad later on if he calls me.
I wasn't wrong, exactly noon, Dad requested a video call.
"Hey son, how are you? Why aren't you wearing your hard hat and vest? You know safety is also our priority"
"Of course, it's lunch break right now Dad, you have to take a break first"
"By the way, can I see your project?" I faced my phone at the standing columns as well as the entire site even though barricades were blocking it.
"Steel columns? What kind of project is that, son?"
"That's a warehouse, it's a bit difficult"
"Difficult? You can ask me if you're having a hard time there"
"It's fine Dad, I'm learning it too"
"Ahh ok, can we go inside? I want to see what's the activity inside" I'm a dead meat, I can't go in here because a guard is watching, especially since they don't know me.
"Ahm, I can't Dad, the safety officer said we can't go in because there are irons scattered around, we might have an accident, they said we have to clean it up after lunch"
"Why it isn't? You must have cleaned it before you had lunch, you really can't work well on that, I still want to see the inside."
"It just happened that it's still lunch break, the manpower here are hardworking and fast workers"
"Ohh, just do your best there, have you eaten your lunch already?"
"Not yet, you just called a while ago, I'll just have my lunch yet"
"Oh, next time, I want to see the completion of that building, go have lunch now son"
"Alright, have lunch in advance" and our video chat ended. Dad acts like he's the client who needs to give the accomplishment of the project.
Woooo, it's a good thing that I managed it, I need to go back to the condo and I'm hungry, Strawberry will come later and I'll see them again.
Around three o'clock I fixed my face so I wouldn't look like a jerk in front of my baby loves, they said they had returned according to Coleen, and they were just having their lunch. I will see them again, this is it.
I'll just wait for Coleen to call so let's not get excited.
Yeonjoo's POV
We arrived back in Korea this afternoon, according to TJP, we have a new personal assistant and we will meet him/her today after having our lunch.
"Naneun ajigdo eumsig-eul meoggo iss-eoyo" (I still want to eat.) –Asuka
"Dangsin-eun jeongmal geugeos-e, supeu se geuleus-eul gajigo iss-eoyo" (You ate a lot already, you already have three bowls of soup) –Gyungyon
"Ppyam-i maleugo iss-eoyo" (That's why your cheeks are getting fat) –Krizia
"Hahahaha!!" Asuka looked at Krizia badly and took the fork pretending that she would hit Krizia with a fork.
"Baega gopeuda" (It's so tiring having a long trip, that's why I always feel hungry) –Asuka
While they were eating, I stood up and took my phone, Coleen just texted me, she wanted us to proceed to the training room.
"Meog-eoss ni? ulineun hunlyeonsillo buleum badgo issseubnida" (Have you finished eating already? We are being called to the training room)
"Ajig" (Not yet) –Asuka
"O, yeogi nwadwo" (Ok, stay there) I told Asuka.
They stood up already and we proceeded to the training room.
"Kaechi, gei!" (The last on the line is gay!!) –Hyejin
They run straight to the elevator, they need to be careful because they just finished eating a while ago.
"Neon yeonjuleul butjab-a, meongcheong a" (You're the last Yeonjoo, you're gay) –Gyungyon
"Neo michyeoss-eo" (You're crazy)
We proceed to the second floor because the training room is located here on the second floor which is near the training room of 3GS.
Where is Coleen? We are already here in the training room.
"Yeonseub-i issseubnikka?" (Do we have practice?) -Gyungyon
"Aniyo, hajiman Coleen-eun ulileul sogaehabnida" (None, but Coleen will introduce us to someone)
"Nugu? Yeonjoo unnie?" (To whom?)- Krizia
"Uliui saeloun josu-imeulo sujeonghasibsio" (Our new assistant, so get ready)
After a few minutes, Coleen went there with a guy. Wait? That guy looks familiar to me.
I can't go wrong, he is the guy that I've met from the museum in Jakarta.
"Yeoja yeoleobun, oseutin-eul mannago sipseubnida. geuneun saeloun gaein biseoija eon-eo mentoga doel geos-ibnida. geuege insahasibsio" (Girls, this is Austin, he's your new personal assistant and will be your communication mentor, You say "hi" to him) –Coleen
"Annyeonghaseyo" I just bowed at him because I was still speechless, how did he become our assistant? There are many people here in this company, is he stalking me?
"Gamsahabnida, it's been an honor to meet you girls," he said.
"Geuneun ttohan dangsin-eul mannaseo haengboghada" (He said he was happy to meet you too.) Coleen translated to us.
"Naneun dangsin-eul algo" (I know you.) Also Kaori? He also knew this guy?
"Does he know you Austin?" -Coleen
"Ahh? Yes, I brought him to the clinic when she collapsed when they did a concert in the Philippines, that's why TJP recognized me" -Austin
Okay maybe I need to learn more English, they are the only ones who understand each other, maybe that guy is saying something that we don't want to hear.
"Geuneun dangsin-i jug-eoss-eul ttae dangsin-eul jinlyosolo delyeoon salam-ieossseubnida" (He is the one who brought you to the clinic when you passed out) –Coleen
"Ye, gamsahabnida seonsaengnim" (Yes, thank you very much sir) –Kaori
"Amugeosdo, just call me Austin, I'm still young to be called sir" (You're welcome.) –Austin
"Geuneun neoege jeonhwahagieneun neomu eolida" (He said that he's too young to call you sir) –Coleen
"Ayieeeeee" Then Misty suddenly teased Kaori.
What a coincidence, that guy is the one who brought Kaori from the clinic during our concert in the Philippines and he is the one that I met in the museum in Jakarta and now he is our assistant, maybe I'm just thinking weird.
"Bang-eulo dol-a gamyeon najung-e oseutin-eseo sueob-eulbadseubnida" (You can go back to your room, later you have a class session with Austin) –Coleen
So we will have our class with that guy, but before we go outside, Misty went near Austin. "Annyeong" Then Austin waved back and didn't speak.
I went outside last and we looked at each other, I felt weird, I don't know why.
