chapter 23

                               1"Have you gone mad? How can you and Kim Jae come to meet them together? Why did you agree with her? And, when and where did you find this pendant? Why are you behaving like this? Have you lost your heart to her? Really??" Leo bombarded Kim with the questions."How many times do I have to remind you that I am your boss!!! I may behave friendly with you but you need to keep in mind that you are my employee", said Kim Jae in a serious tone."And my job is to protect you from anything. I can see you playing dumb. She is a foreigner and you might find her amusing but playing with your image for her will be dangerous for your career", said Leo trying to show Kim the reality. "I know what I am doing. I have talked to our writer about the storyline of my next drama and he has advised me to look at the doctors from near. He even suggested me to join a hospital for a while. So I am planning to join the same hospital", said Kim Jae.Leo was awestruck. "And when were you planning to tell me all this? Will they allow you for this? It is a famous hospital", said Leo."What are you for? Pull some strings and let me get in there", said Kim and looked into Leo's eyes. Leo drank the full bottle of water which he was holding in one go. He was feeling extremely stressed. "You mean I need to get you in the same hospital as Dr. Nazma and Zaini and also I have to arrange your meeting with these two girls while hiding the fact that Kim Min Ho and Kim Jae are the same person??" "Now, you are talking my way. Good job!! Arrange everything and let me know where you need me", said Kim Jae and started playing with the pendant feeling happy to the core of his heart.Leo's eyes fell on the pendant. "Can I see this pendant?" he asked."Why? You go and plan the things", said Kim."Just once, please!" Kim handed him the pendant.He looked at the pendant carefully and suddenly he smiled. "Why are you smiling?" asked Kim Jae with curiosity."My one problem is solved", said Leo."What problem?""To save you from Zaini", uttered Leo. "What do you mean by that? When was Zaini a problem?" asked Kim Jae feeling offended."She is a problem but leave it. I am feeling at peace after watching this pendant", said Leo looking at the pendant and he could not see how Kim Jae was feeling.Kim who was sitting casually on the sofa, got up immediately and asked, "What??""She is already engaged.""What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say this?" shouted Kim Jae feeling difficult to what he heard. "See, the letters carved over it. "ZP". Z means Zaini and P means someone named starting with P. The shape of the pendant is heart-shaped. So it is clearly from her boyfriend or fiance or husband whose name starts with P", explained Leo.Kim's heart sank after hearing it. Whatever Leo said, sounded right to him, and he recalled when Zaini said the necklace was precious to her. He was silent. Leo looked at him and sat close to him on the sofa."Should I cancel the idea of meeting saying that Kim Jae has refused to meet anyone and also joining the same hospital?? I mean it would be better to reach a less-known hospital for this task", said Leo thinking he was able to solve the major stress-causing task within seconds. Kim grabbed the pendant from Leo's hands and looked at it again. "Whatever you are saying might not be true. And, even if it is her boyfriend/ fiance/ husband, the relationship can be broken!! You just do whatever I have asked you to", said Kim Jae and left the room.Leo's mouth was left open with shock. He could not believe what he heard.                                  2Zaini got a call from Prague again while she was studying at night. This time she received the call as she had more than enough to hide from him and she was afraid he might know everything from somewhere else. "Hello," said Zaini after receiving the call."Hello, I hope you have calmed down now", asked Prague."Hmmm... I am fine and at night duty. I was punished for coming late to the hospital today. I even have a test tomorrow as a punishment and I have to secure well in that to pass", said Zaini."Oh No, what is the topic?"Zaini and Prague talked for a while and she came to know that Prague's brother was engaged and the wedding would be soon. Zaini skipped telling him about Kim Min Ho and the pendant. She prepared for the test after the call.                                 3"Here you are! I was waiting for you", said Nazma as soon as Zaini entered her flat after the test."Aahhh... I am exhausted", said Zaini falling on the sofa beside Nazma."Aaa... My young Intern!! Now relax on this weekend. You will have to go to the hospital on Monday. By the way, did you get any message from Kim Min Ho about his address or time to visit his home?" Zaini gave Nazma a look."You are unbelievable!! I think I should share his contact number with you and that way you can suck his blood nicely without involving me!!" said Zaini in sarcasm.Nazma laughed aloud. "Bro' I am a huge fan of Kim Jae. I have been here for a long but got no chance to meet him. He even lives in the same city", said Nazma."I am also a huge fan of him. I have opted for an internship here because of him only but somehow I am reluctant to go to someone else's place. How to trust that guy? Nothing is mentioned about him on Google. He is definitely making stories about him and Kim Jae", said Zaini. "Why would he lie? He came to help you. Isn't it enough for you to trust him?" asked Nazma.Zaini had no answers to her question. Then only her cell phone vibrated and both the girls looked at the cell phone. It was a message from Kim Min Ho.Â
