Chapter 101. I Give You The Moon (4)

Translator: Aura

Freed from his busy morning schedule filled with meetings, Lee-Seob headed to Minkyung’s desk.

“We need to talk, Senior Manager Kang.”

“Yes, Director.”

Minkyung answered and stood up. The moment she chose to proceed with the photo shoot plan, she decided not to think about the risks she would run if she failed. She could only do her best to make it a success.

She had already chatted a bit with See-ah about the photo shoot. She had to explain it to Lee-Seob in more detail and quickly arrange some practical meetings.

To summarize what she had heard from See-ah, the deadline for W Magazine was the 21st of next month, and their schedule was full. However, they promised to make time in their schedule for us.

W Magazine wouldn’t pass up the opportunity for an unprecedented photo shoot with TK’s Tae Lee-Seob. Of course, it would be ideal if in addition to the solo photo shoot, an interview with GV’s Patrick Faubert was included, in which the collaboration between TK Fashion’s Durell and GV was touched upon. But there were still several hurdles to overcome for that.

“There are some matters I would like to discuss with you, Director.”

As Minkyung picked up her tablet and prepared to head to his office, he let out a chuckle.

“Where are you going?”

“Ah, do you want to talk here?”

“No.”

The moment Minkyung looked up, Lee-Seob patted his stomach.

“I’m hungry.”

It was almost lunchtime.

“Okay, then after lunch.”

“Let’s talk over lunch.”

“Do you want to have lunch together? Didn’t you have a personal appointment? That’s why you asked me to clear your schedule…”

“I canceled it. Come with me instead.”

Without waiting for her response, Lee-Seob started walking.

The reserved place was a Korean restaurant about a 10-minute drive from the office. As soon as they entered, the manager recognized Lee-Seob and led them directly to a private room inside. Lee-Seob had made the reservation himself, so he meticulously took care of the room location, menu and ambiance.

He had asked Minkyung to leave today’s lunch without commitments as he wanted to get some rest and had made a personal appointment. In fact, Lee-Seob called the restaurant when he had a little free time, made a reservation for today’s lunch, and ordered the food in advance.

It wasn’t an easy choice. There were dozens of options, so he had been indecisive about which restaurant to book at. It was only when he thought that she should eat meat that the options narrowed down.

Every time it came to his mind how she had fallen asleep exhausted in his bed last night, he felt a little guilty. This also caused his member to rise.

‘Haa…’

He quickly turned his thoughts back to the food. The steak would suit the ambiance, but since the ribs were meatier, he opted for the ribs. Premium Korean beef ribs. Once he decided on the menu, Lee-Seob faced another dilemma. Ribs meant frequent visits from the waiter to cut them, which could ruin the atmosphere.

As soon as they entered the private room, the large table was already set as requested. The ribs were ready to be grilled immediately, while the side dishes and appetizers were all laid out at once, as per Lee-Seob’s order. He wanted to avoid interruptions in the middle of the meal.

After he took a look at the table, he offered Minkyung a seat and sat down across from her. Puzzled by the fully set table, she stared blankly at the food.

“The ribs here are delicious.”

He tried to remember if she liked ribs, but to no avail. Even if she didn’t like it, he intended to make her eat a lot for her sake. Still, he asked worriedly,

“Do you like ribs?”
