Chapter 27

SBS Television

Siyeon first appeared in a radio show with images. The success that comes from D7's new album has made her life busier besides taking care of Shin. Many people contacted her to schedule interviews. At first, Siyeon felt confused about this. She thought she would only participate in a few talks to share about her music, but the number of media people wanting to meet her to write articles was too much through time

Siyeon saw that her personal information had been published very clearly on the official homepage of D7 company, which manages the music group of the same name, with the caption on it saying exclusive musician.

That's right, she has signed an exclusive contract to write music for D7 from now on. That means she will only focus on writing music for this company . Besides her personal information, there is also an image. The fact that so many people contact her is probably due to her appearance and background.

The information that she is the only daughter of Chairman Lee, the major shareholder of the top corporation in Daegu province, has attracted media attention. They didn't expect such a person to work in the music industry.

Siyeon had no intention of making her family information public, but D7 company researched her themselves and offered to put all the information on the homepage. When Siyeon heard D7's wish, she easily agreed because she thought it was good, her father would be proud of the path she was taking.

- Is there anything stopping you from entering the music industry while being the grand lady of a corporation? I mean….as usual Siyeon-sshi would be working for your family.

- I had time to work for my family company, along with my passion, music. Gradually I switched to focusing on composing, not working for my father anymore. At first it was a bit difficult because my family didn't believe in my musical ability, but after a few years things got better.

- Siyeon-sshi, you must have gone through many loves to be inspired to compose such wonderful songs, right? – DJ Hyo asked smilingly.

- Hmm….if I'm being precise…I've only been in one relationship – Siyeon shyly answered.

- Oh, is there only one? You are now 29 years old, so this is a very deep and experienced first love.

- Hmm..that's a lot of experiences - Siyeon nodded, recalling what happened to her and Bora.

From when she intentionally approached Bora to get to know Bora, then when Bora kidnapped her to blackmail her family, then when she got angry at Bora and left, then when Bora went looking for her, then the two made up and Bora tricked her, got her pregnant, then she misunderstood Bora and went to Dami. Until she reconciled with Bora again and gave birth to baby Shin, Dami made Bora lose the memory.

Then the end result was that she had no chance to see Bora again. Bora accepted her words very easily, leaving her was also very easy as if Bora was waiting for that result.

- I ended that relationship - Siyeon suddenly revealed.

- Oh….I'm so sorry, after all, everything that happens in our lives is a lesson, right?

- That's right.

- Is there anything else in Siyeon-sshi's life besides composing music? What do you usually do in your free time?

- I take care of my son.

- Huh?

- I have a son, he is 6 months old.

- Oh what an interesting information, so the father of baby is…..

- I am a single mother and I cannot reveal my other partner.

- Oh…..

- I used artificial insemination to get pregnant. The person I took care of the child with is a woman, but she and I are over.

- Ah….so that's it, I'm so sorry.

- ……….. – Siyeon nodded.

- I understand why Siyeon-sshi has such music, I hope good things will always come to you.

- Thank you Hyo-sshi.

*Clack*

SuA put her beer on the table, her eyes absentmindedly looking into the distance.

The rented Handong apartment has a living room with one wall made of glass. When you pull out the curtains in the evening, you can see the entire city sparkling with lights, the scene is extremely poetic and beautiful. Currently, Handong is in China due to some personal matters, so SuA is alone at home.

She just finished listening to the SBS radio show with Siyeon's participation.

She is aware of Siyeon’s recent popularity, D7's album is extremely popular, being played constantly on the streets. SuA knows Siyeon's songwriting work and that Siyeon is a complete home person. From the moment SuA knew Siyeon until now, she could count the number of times Siyeon went out on the street with one hand. Most of the time Siyeon buried her head in the studio and took care of her son.

The fact that SuA goes out so much is in complete contrast to Siyeon’s life, so she gets angry when SuA doesn't spend time at home.

It was understandable that SuA was kicked out by Siyeon. If she were Siyeon, she would do the same.

When she learned that Siyeon was doing interviews about the work, she looked up Siyeon's schedule every day through D7 company's homepage. Today Siyeon appeared on DJ Hyo's radio, SuA took the time to sit and watch.

While drinking beer and listening to Siyeon tell the story, she felt okay. The last time she saw Siyeon was when Siyeon had some kind of eye injury. She was very curious but didn't know what was wrong with Siyeon. Now seeing Siyeon healthy and beautiful again, she feels fine.

Until she heard Siyeon's decisive attitude during the interview, it seemed like Siyeon was ready to let her go.

SuA opened her phone and looked at Siyeon's most recent text message, more than a month ago.

After kicking her away, a week later Siyeon texted her apologizing and wanting her to return home. She read that message with a calm mind, because she felt suffocated living in that house. If she had to leave, it would be okay, so she had no intention of returning.

“Bora, what are you doing? Where are you living? I'm sorry for being so angry and saying things I shouldn't have said. I'm waiting for you to come home"

That's why SuA feels uncomfortable living with Siyeon, Siyeon always criticizes her and wants to control her life.

But after a short time, SuA thought again, perhaps she was too strict with Siyeon. Siyeon is like that because Siyeon loves her so much. It's also not right for her to go out all day and drink with friends...

SuA gradually realized that...Siyeon was right to be upset with her.

When she left that house, she felt very comfortable and almost didn't think about Siyeon much, but recently, her mind was filled with images of Siyeon

Is it because Siyeon is famous and appears in her life a lot or is it because she really misses Siyeon?

Siyeon mentioned baby Shin on the radio show, making SuA feel guilty, it's been 2 months since she had any contact with the baby. When she lived in that house, Shin was very attached to her. If she left even for a moment, the baby would cry.

But she didn't have enough courage to go see Shin.

The relationship between her and Handong after 2 months of living together is still just friends. Handong is very kind and positive, she always makes SuA feel comfortable. SuA is someone who goes out to make friends a lot, and Handong is the same, she has countless friends in Korea.

There are many similarities between the two, so living together feels extremely peaceful. Sometimes Handong says a few hints with the hope that this relationship will go further, but SuA always ignores those hints.

She feels like she is not ready for a relationship. Same with Siyeon, same with Handong, she appreciated Handong's concern from the beginning so she just wanted to be friends with Handong.

The sky poured torrential rain, Siyeon went home after finishing her last work of the day. She went into Shin's room to check on the condition, the baby was already sleeping soundly.

Reheating some rice for dinner, with a glass of wine next to her, her habit for the past 2 months.

She herself does not like drinking alcohol, she only drinks when work requires it. She sent Bora away because Bora drank too much alcohol and now she is the one who is drinking every day. But without it she cannot sleep well.

Combined with tonight's noisy weather, her mood was dragged down again. Siyeon opened her phone and looked deeply at the last text message she sent to Bora.

“I'm waiting for you to come home”

After a few times of restraining herself from texting Bora, she couldn't bear it and texted her an apology message like that. She waited all night for Bora’s response and she's still waiting now.

But more than a month has passed and she has not received any response.

She also didn't have the courage to pick up the phone to call Bora and she also thought that if she called her, Bora wouldn't pick up. She thought a lot, finding a suitable reason to bring Bora home.

She could have used baby Shin as an excuse, but in the end she chose to stay silent.

Exactly half of her has chosen to give up, she will focus on her work and not care about Kim Bora anymore. The other half is still waiting for Bora’s response, but her reason tells her that Bora will never proactively contact her.

After Bora's departure, Siyeon saw a notice from the bank, Bora asked for control of her bank account back. Siyeon accepted that, because the two were far apart, Bora needed a lot of money to take care of her own life.

She had completely forgotten Siyeon, that was true.

A call connected to Siyeon's phone, an unfamiliar number, broke Siyeon's erratic mood.

- Hello.

“Siyeon…..”

- Who's that?

“It's me, Bona”

- ………Bona? – Siyeon took a few seconds to remember who Bona was. When she remembered, she was very shocked

“I….. am standing in front of your house, can you open the door?”

- What?

---

Thunder roared in the vast sky, Bona appeared at Siyeon's door with a suitcase, her hair wet. Siyeon was so shocked that she couldn't let it go. She took Bona into the house and gave Bona a dry towel.

- Hmm….Bona, you…….hmm….I’m really unbelievable – Siyeon hesitated for many reasons.

The last time she saw Bona was in high school, 11 years ago.

How did Bona know she was living in Seoul and at this address?

Why does Bona know her phone number? Siyeon changed her phone number when she graduated from college and started working.

Why is there a suitcase next to Bona, is she traveling or is she homeless or something else?

Flashback

Valentine's Day.

Siyeon asked Bona to go to the tree in the schoolyard in the late afternoon. Two girls with long black hair stood facing each other in the deserted space of the campus.

- What's up? – Bona was curious.

- Hmm….I have something to tell you – Siyeon hesitated, scratching her head and ears.

After ten seconds of unnecessary movements, Siyeon held out a beautiful small chocolate gift box in front of Bona.

- This…. – Bona was surprised.

- Wishing you a happy Valentine's Day - Siyeon awkwardly smiled.

- ………..

- We are in the same class and have been friend together for 3 years. We are only a few months away from graduating from high school. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to study with you again in the future, so I hesitated a lot. In the end, I chose to say it all so I wouldn't regret it later.

- …………….

- I like you very much, Kim Bona, since our first meeting in the school yard. I didn't dare show my feelings for so long because I thought you weren't like me.

- ………………

- I hope you will meet your ideal lover in the future. If no one loves you in the future, come to me, my family is very rich, I will ask my parents for money to take care of everything for you. There's no need to worry.

Bona laughed at Siyeon's naive words. She raised her hand to pat the head of the tall girl opposite her.

- So cute.

- ………..

- I will remember this saying of yours. After graduating from high school, if we have the chance to meet, we will talk about this again, okay?

Siyeon smiled widely from ear to ear and nodded vigorously.
