August
Seoul, South KoreaYoon Se-ri loved rumors.
They always told her amazing things about her life which she never knew.
It had all started from the engagement ring.
When she had just returned from Switzerland, Se-ri was wearing the engagement ring on a daily basis.
Of course, it sparked off a plethora of rumors at Seri's Choice which could make the most veteran paparazzi proud with how far-fetched they were.
One version was, their CEO was getting married to an Arab sheikh, destined to live off the boundless riches that came with large oil reserves.
An extension of the rumor would be that she was soon due to resign as CEO to live in the lap of luxury.
The reason for that rumor? She had lunch three days in a row at a Middle Eastern cuisine restaurant near the office.
The truth? The weekly lunch special set consisting of shish tawook and baklava had been really delicious.
Then the rumor had gradually died off on its own, when some logical folks argued that an engagement ring from an Arab sheikh could not possibly be sized less than one carat.
True, she thought in mirth. If only people knew her Arab sheikh was actually a North Korean pianist.
No such thing as an oil reserve there.
The only thing reserved about Ri Jeong Hyeok was his character.
Then one day, just to keep things exciting in her company, Se-ri playfully stopped wearing her ring and chose to keep it in her purse.
That was when new rumors started.
This time, about how she had ditched the mystery man who had proposed to her, for a Caucasian man.
She wasn't quite sure where the part about her rumored beau being Caucasian came from, until she found out that something pretty crazy had happened.
