Cheng-Time To Breakup

What?' I frowned. Sure, my playboy image was well known but Re-on and I were not exclusive to each other. I told her that before we hooked up. 'Re-on, you do know that we are just friends with benefits, right? I made that clear when we started all this.'

'So you are with another girl!' she cried, ignoring me completely.

'No, I am not,' I said drily. 'I'm at a photoshoot.'

'Really?' she asked, a bit skeptic

'Really,' I assured her.

'I miss you oppa,' she moaned in a cutesy voice. 'Let's meet up. Now.'

I sighed. It was time to break up with her. Too bad, I thought. We could have stayed as friends with benefits. Oh well.

'I can meet up,' I said casually. 'Mmm... Conrad Hotel? Meet me at the private bar.'

'Okay, sugar,' Re-on exclaimed. Sugar? That's it. I had to break up with this chick.

I rummaged through my bag to change my clothes. Then I remembered that I left my duffel bag at the studio. If I went to the studio early, the management might ask why I left the photo-shoot midway. Need to call Ahn Yang ahjussi.

I dialed his number. Took him a while to pick up.

'Ahn ahjussi,' I said. 'Can you send someone to the Conrad Hotel with my duffel bag? I left it at the studio.'

'Conrad Hotel?' he asked. 'Aren't you at the photoshoot?'

'Yeah, it's over,' I said. 'I'll need my clothes though and those are in the duffel bag. And the ones I'm wearing are from sponsors. They'll want these back soon.'

'Alright,' he said. I noted the skepticism in his voice. 'I'll send in the new girl with your bag. She was supposed to attend the shoot anyway but her meeting with the management took a while.'

'Oh yeah,' I recalled. 'The new fashion designer. The one recommended by Professor Ahn.'

'Yeah, I'll ask her to bring over your duffel bag.'

'Alright,' I said. I forgot it was the new fashion designer's first day at work. She was specially recommended by our old mentor, Professor Ahn. I recalled our last meeting a few months back.
