Melodies Of Rain
#THIRTY-THREE

After several months of living in HK, Cassandra is already more familiar with the area around there. He can go alone without needing Siwon's company again. This evening Cassandra took a walk to Victoria Harbour. Then spend the night on the edge of the balcony of the Avenue of Stars while enjoying the sea view. A gentle breeze blew against his face. Cassandra was reminded of Hyun Su.

"What's he doing there now?" thought.

Cassandra pulled out her phone. Searching for Hyun Su's name on the contact list. She sees the name but then becomes worried between wanting to contact her or not. Cassandra presses the exit button of the contact. Looking at the portrait of her with Hyun Su who was smiling widely on her phone screen.

"Are you thinking about me right now? You didn't say anything when I said you wanted to leave. Isn't it obvious you don't care. How foolish it would be to hope for myself" Cassandra's mind.

"It looks like HK's natural charm isn't enough to distract you from your phone screen."

The voice made Cassandra look up. Harlem immediately threw his big smile at Cassandra. Cassandra put her phone back in her pocket.

"You ...." Cassandra remembered.

"Harlem Wang" said Harlem.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember, a stranger in Star Ferry," Cassandra said.

Harlem laughs. He was standing not far from Cassandra.

"But sorry, I don't need a guide" Cassandra continued.

"I didn't come to look for tourists. Anyway I've quit that field" Harlem explained.

"Eh?! How many months have I been here since I met a tour guide and now he's quit that job?" Cassandra clarifies.

"Yes, that's it. A lot of things can change in an instant. Sometimes it is not our will. They don't want to be accepted either. Right, Miss Kim?" Harlem asked for an opinion.

"Eitherway. I haven't found out about it yet" Cassandra replied.

"Some things are better not to know. It will keep away from the pain" Harlem murmured.

Cassandra looked at Harlem in confusion.

"Ah sorry, I'm talking too much. We don't really know each other, but what I'm saying is confusing Miss Kim. I'm going to leave now. I'm sorry, it's been troubling Miss' time" Harlem said. He started walking away.

"Mr Wang! You seem to have a problem. It's okay to tell a little story with a new friend. Maybe you can share a little life experience" Cassandra exclaimed.

Cassandra's words stopped Harlem's steps. He turned to look at Cassandra. "My phone number hasn't been changed. Maybe next time we can go for coffee together" Harlem replied.

"Good idea! I'll wait for you next time" replied Cassandra.

Harlem smile. Then turn around and walk away.

"It might be good to have new friends too" Cassandra murmured.

Although Harlem said the phone number was not changed, which means the number is still the same as the one on the business card he gave Cassandra at that time. But Cassandra never once tried to contact him. He had even forgotten where to put the business card. One day they meet again by accident.

On the streets of the bustling city, Cassandra was in a hurry heading to X's office for a meeting. Siwon and his father had already arrived there. In the middle of the journey Cassandra only realized the important report was left behind. Cassandra had to go back home. Because of the rush and many people, Cassandra accidentally hit a foreign woman. The papers that Cassandra brought along fell into the street. The woman who was also in a hurry did not heed it and just passed by. Cassandra immediately picked up the scattered papers. Suddenly a man came to help her.

"Thank you!" said Cassandra and when she turned her head apparently the man who helped her was no stranger to her. "Mr Wang?!"

"Miss Kim! Another coincidence," said Harlem, handing over the rest of the paper.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry this time. There's no time to mince words with you" Cassandra said.

"Where are you going, Miss Kim? Let me take it with me to make it faster. My bike's parked out front!" Harlem offers.

"Office X," Cassandra replied briefly.

"I happen to be heading that way, too. Come on, let's take it!"

"Thank you for the ride, Mr. Wang! I have a meeting until noon. Can we meet again later in the day so I can repay your kindness?" ask Cassandra.

"Actually you don't have to bother yourself, Miss Kim," declined Harlem subtly.

"I don't feel any hassles, Mr. Wang. I'd be bothered if you refused. You've helped me, "forced Cassandra.

"Well if you force it. I don't want to bother you, so we'll see you here again in the afternoon. I'll be there for lunch" Harlem said.

"agree! I have to get in!" cassandra's reply. He quickly entered the office. Harlem is driving away on his bike.

After the meeting ended. Siwon and his father: Kim In Hwa walks out followed by Cassandra.

"Our meeting was a success this time. Thank you to the two of you who helped, Siwon and Sora," said Kim In Hwa.

"Jageun abeoji, I should apologise for my delay" Cassandra said.

"That's understandable. This is your first experience, right!? Next try to do well" replied Kim In Hwa

"Well, jageun abeoji!" cassandra.

They walked out of the office. Siwon and his father were already in the car. Cassandra was still standing outside.

"Are you just going to stand there, Kim Sora?" ask Siwon.

"I have an appointment with someone, so you and jageun abeoji go home first!" answer Cassandra.

"Someone?!" Siwon repeated his words.

"It's okay, Siwon. It's not good that Sora has friends that he can meet here" said Kim In Hwa.

" Then Sora, we go home first. You careful! Have your friend stop by our store once in a while," he said

"Yes, jageun abeoji!" answer Cassandra. The car drove away.

After a while of waiting, Harlem finally came.

"How was the meeting, Miss Kim?" ask Harlem.

"Everything is going well" Cassandra replied.

"Thank God!"

"As a thank you for helping me, I will treat you to lunch. Mr. Wang, you know the good restaurants around Tsim Sha Tsui, right?" Cassandra.

"Of course I know. Please ride!" get Harlem.

Harlem takes Cassandra to one of the famous Noodles restaurants. The restaurant was quite crowded. Not only provides a variety of noodle menus. The price of the food is quite affordable. Cassandra enjoyed her lunch this time. The noodle cuisine in the restaurant was really good.

"Seriously, this is so delicious!" praise Cassandra while sipping her noodle soup.

"Thankfully according to your taste! The noodles here are very famous and delicious! Many foreign tourists also often come to eat here," said Harlem.

"It's not wrong to have a tour guide friend!" added Cassandra.

"Other times I'll take you to another dining establishment that's no less delicious than the one here" Harlem promised.

"I'm looking forward to it!" cassandra.
