Surprise!

It was a nice warm and sunny day outside. A perfect day to let one's creative shine.

Eunha is sitting on her rocking chair near the window of her apartment on 22nd floor. With a sip of her freshly brewed coffee, she took in the breathtaking view of the city outside her window.

Everything is so quiet that you hear a water drop fall.

When she thought she couldn't have a perfect day than this to write a new story, suddenly her manager came bustling in.

She was annoyed as the peace was ruptured, so she told her with a warning glare, "It better be something important." To that the manager answered while panting, "Trust me it is. Did you read today's newspaper?" Eunha shook her head to that, "Why?"

"Namjoon's birthday is coming up. He has invited a lot of celebrities and authors." Eunha raised a brow and asked with disinterest, "So? You're here to tell me that he again didn't invite me? Come straight to the point." To that her manager shook his head violently, "No! This year he especially announced on the national television that he is inviting you to his party this year!"

After hearing that, the coffee cup that she in her hand fell and broke into million pieces and ruined the newly placed carpet. Her eyes widened at that statement made by her manager.

It was indeed really shocking to know that her rival actually bothered to invite her in a 'unique' way.

Kim Namjoon and Kim Eunha. These two names pop up on every person's mind whenever asked about novels. These two are biggest authors present in the writing business. No one can rival their books and way of writing except for these two themselves.

However, their rivalry is more famous than any of the books ever written by them. They both are like oil and water. Whenever present at some function together, there's about to be some news. And to know that he did that, something must be really fishing going on.

After a while of grasping the situation, she said angrily, "I swear to God, if this is some kind of joke this is the last day of your job!" To that the poor man shook with fear while she proceeded to look at the news. And there it was....

She still couldn't believe that he would go against his pride to invite her. 'Something's definitely wrong' she thought. While she was in her thoughts, the manager got a call from the apartments security.

The security said, "There's a man here that wishes to meet Ms. Kim. I want her permission let him in."

"Who is it?"

"He doesn't want me to reveal his identity though. Can you put Ms. Kim on line?"

"Sure. Wait a second."

"Um.... Mam this is for you. It's from security saying some wishes to meet you but doesn't want to reveal his identity to anyone but you."

Coming out her trance, she said, "Hello?"

"Hi Eunha. I wish to see you. Let me in." said Namjoon in his deep voice.

"What?! What the hell are you doing here?" she asked while signaling her manager to a day off today. He happily obliged and left her alone.

She then told the security to let him in.

....

Few moments later, the sound of doorbell rang across the apartment. Eunha went to welcome him.

But as soon as he entered, he saw that she still couldn't believe that he was actually here.

"Why're you so surprised? Didn't you see today's headline?"

"Why are you here?"

"Obviously to invite you to my birthday this year."

"Why? What happened that you suddenly want me to attend your birthday party? What are you plotting?" sea of question flew from her mouth.

"Woah! Breath Eunha, breath. I can't answer so many questions at one time."

When he noticed that she has calmed down, he further explained his purpose of inviting her.

"I know that we've been rivals for God knows how long, so I thought maybe we should change that and try become friends. I've read all your books and your is also amazing as mine. Maybe we can, you know, collaborate or something like that in future."

"Is that the only reason?"

"Nope. You know people also think we'd make a good couple. What do you think about that?"

"Hell no. If you're done you can leave then."

But instead of leaving he starts to walk closer to her.

"What are you doing? Back off. Don't come any closer to me." she went into panic mode.

She was cornered, there no space as her legs hit the dining table. At that moment, he leans in, his tall height intimidating her, and whispers in the ear in his low and raspy voice

"I'm not giving up on the idea of you and me together." He purposely emphasized the words 'you and me'.

This sent a shiver down her spine. She never had this close proximity with any of her male friends let alone her rival.

With that he took leave and Eunha took a breath of relief. She stared at the door contemplating whether her idea of going is going to be right or wrong...
