Chapter 211

: Chapter 205
Smiling broadly at her, Hyunwoo walked with Yu Zuung.
All eyes were on them when they walked. Be it in Korea or Vietnam, Yu Zuung always gained people’s intense attention.
She didn’t care at all as if she was now accustomed to that, but it bothered Hyunwoo.
He hastily got her out of the arrival gate and got in a car.

Wow, this looks nice. Did you buy a new car?


Yea, I can’t escort you in an old minivan, so I treated myself to a luxury sedan for you.




Great! A very spacious interior and great car stereo~. The music quality is so good.


I’ve spent some money, hahaha.


I’d love to buy this model when I make a lot of money.

When they arrived at the office of Ani & Funny in Ansan, everybody welcomed her. In particular, the bachelors competitively said hello to her to grab her attention.
Among them were Jihoon Kang and Myunghoon Koh.
Looking at them, the female staff felt jealous. In particular, Jungah stared at the back of Jihoon’s head and curled her lips.
Hyunwoo intervened as the welcoming grew too heated.

I think she is pretty happy about your welcome. This is your seat, Yu Zuung.

The seat was between Jihoon and Myunghoon’s desks. Hyunwoo didn’t have her sit there to promote any rivalry between them, but he wanted to bring out the synergy effect among the three because of their specialties in character development.
Jihoon and Myunghoon were so overjoyed, on the one hand, but seemed to be full of rivalry, on the other hand.


Other male staff members were jealous of them regardless of whether they were single or not.
At that moment, Myunghoon initiated speaking in clumsy English,
Where are you planning to stay in Korea? Are you going to stay with us at the new dorm?

Jihoon, a high school graduate, seemed gloomy for a moment as he could not speak English at all.
On the other hand, most of the male staff including Myunghoon could not make themselves understood in English, though they tried to communicate with some English words they knew. Still, they were in a better position, compared to Jihoon who could not speak English at all.
Instead of replying easily, she looked at Hyunwoo because she thought he could take care of her accommodations while she was staying in Korea.

It’s up to you. You can stay in the dorm or I can get you a studio if you want it.

Then she asked him,
I think you have extra rooms in your house. When I was here before, I stayed there.

Of course, she could, but there were some inconveniences for her this time.

As you know, most of the people staying there are seniors working at my mother’s factory. But at the dorm, you can meet the young guys and students.


I know that. I’d love to see the seniors as they are very interesting. And I would love to learn Korean cooking whenever I have free time.



Hyunwoo scratched his head idly. He recommended the dorm because she might find it more interesting to mingle with the young guys, but she seemed to take more delight in mingling with the seniors.
There was another problem.
Hyunwoo didn’t report to work on time like his staff. He usually came to the office late as he had to visit several places during the day, and sometimes, he was out of the office all day long on a business trip.
In other words, he could not give her a ride to the office every day.
But she seemed to take that matter in stride.

How far is your house from here?
she asked.

Not that far. Less than ten minutes by car, but you have to pay a lot if you take the taxi everyday…


I can ride a bike. I ride it very well. I even ride a motorbike.

Hyunwoo made an unexpected expression, Ah!
Come to think of it, Vietnam was a heaven for the riders of bikes and motorbikes. Regardless of men and women, old or young, their main transportation means were bikes and motorbikes.



But it could be risky. In particular, the roads are very slippery in winter.


Let me stay there first. And if I find it uncomfortable, then I can move to another place.


Sure,
replied Hyunwoo without any hesitation.
As a matter of fact, the new dorm was not yet completed. At least it would take another fifteen days for them to move in. Until then, they would have to find temporary housing.
As she knew nothing about Korea, Hyunwoo could not send her to a motel. As she was so beautiful, she could be the target of men with indecent desires.
Hyunwoo felt his house was the safest place, too.
When it got cold, she would probably change her mind. Unlike Vietnam, it would be extremely cold in winter in Korea. Her commuting by bike could be her temporary means of transportation.
Of course, it was her judgment call.

By the way, you had better learn Korean as soon as possible. Our staff here can’t learn English to communicate with you, right?
said Hyunwoo.

I’m learning Korean now,
she answered in Korean.


Though her Korean pronunciation was a bit clumsy, everybody could understand it.
With a bright smile, Hyunwoo said,
Wow, I guess you could make yourself understood in Korean.

At that moment, Jihoon cut in quickly as if he wanted to teach her Korean.
Other male staff raised their hands to volunteer to be her Korean teacher.
She seemed a bit scared, looking at Hyunwoo with an embarrassed look.

You’ll be alright soon. Hahaha,
said Hyunwoo.

Finally, one week has passed since Hyunwoo issued a warning to Jinhon.
In the meantime, the fans of Jihon and Angela were restless with mixed feelings of curiosity and concern.
Can KOVE DREAM reveal the secret of Angela to the public?
If her secret is revealed, what is it?
Can the secret deal a blow to their popularity?
Some of the fans expected that Jinhon would offer apologies on the final day of one week, after all.
But Jinhon didn’t apologize. He didn’t show any reaction even after midnight on the last day. Obviously, he ignored KOVE DREAM’s warning.
His fans grew more and more restless. Even before midnight, the homepage of KOVE DREAM’s branch in America was overflowing with their concerned comments.
Finally, it was midnight on the last day of the one-week deadline.
Hyunwoo revealed Angela’s secret on its homepage.
It was about her parents. As for the extent of the release, Hyunwoo discussed with Angela in advance. He didn’t disclose the fact that her father escaped to America after realizing that his wife got pregnant with Angela.
Except for that, he revealed everything about her and her family such as how she was born, who her mother was and when she died, what his father’s name was and how she met Jinhon.
He also disclosed why she became a singer and decided to do activities in America. After all, her main purpose was to find her father.
Strictly speaking, it could not be regarded as exposure.
And there was nothing she needed to hide in it. Rather, it was kind of a letter urging the people to help her find her father, but her fans were excited because they didn’t know at all she had such a painful family history.
Angela also showed an unnecessary reaction in her personal blog. She promised to take revenge against KOVE DREAM, arguing that they had disclosed her secret.
<I also know all the secrets about KOVE DREAM.
I don’t want to meet halfway.
Exactly at this tomorrow let me reveal them on my blog.>
Her fans acted with her, expressing anger against KOVE DREAM.
Some radical fans uploaded malicious comments on the homepage of its US branch, arguing that they would never buy the products of KOVE DREAM.
The next day at the same time, Angela’s blog was heating up with the excited fans’ visits.
At the appointed time, she had the Any & Funny staff upload a bulletin on her blog.
There was no direct expose of KOVE DREAM in it, but the bulletin invited those interested to click a link to the following URL.
Most fans were gladly cheated by her with a dejected smile.

Uh? Jinhon and Angela are KOVE DREAM’s models?


What the heck? Was all this fabricated?

When they opened the URL, they found an additional secret about her.
It was about her dramatic meeting with Hyunwoo and Jinhon. When Jinhon’s family disappeared in a typhoon in Vietnam, Hyunwoo purchased plane tickets for them.
There was also Jinhon and Angela’s confession expressing thanks to Hyunwoo.
<We all received a great favor from Hyunwoo Jang, president of KOVE DREAM. We would like to repay it by all means.
And we know how good the quality of KOVE products are, so we wanted to promote them.
We didn’t receive a single cent for our appearance in their advertisement. So, just regard this as a simple introduction, not an ad.
The following video was a special documentary broadcast by Korean Broadcasting. The first video is the gist of the whole program and the second is a full-length one.
That will be a good material for you to judge the products of KOVE DREAM.
We promise we will be singers who bring you pleasure and happiness.>
Lots of fans clicked the KOVE videos, as expected.
The videos emphasized why the KOVE products were good quality and why they could trust KOVE companies even if the Vietnamese companies lagged in terms of technology.
