The elevator doors opened at the guest room floor, and the person in charge stepped out first, followed by Taehong and Haegin. The guest rooms’ lavish interior decoration drew Haegin’s admiring gaze.
Each floor had a distinct feel, clearly targeting different audiences. Haegin diligently noted her observations and feelings.
The ultimate goal of the guest rooms was to create a private space, giving a sense of detachment from the outside world. It wasn’t until Haegin entered the rooms that she understood the meaning of these words. The luxurious interior decoration, down to the smallest detail, left nothing to chance.
Haegin even thought that such a place could spark inspiration for creative activities.
“All this is great, but might it be too much for guests seeking relaxation?”
Unlike Haegin’s admiration, Taehong seemed unimpressed. However, the managers quickly addressed his concern.
“Of course, you might think so. But this location faces south, and the sunlight that comes in is plentiful. If you draw back the curtains during the day like this…”
With a press of a button, curtains that matched the wall color were drawn aside, and bright sunlight flooded the room, eliminating the need for artificial lighting.
“You can enjoy a different ambiance in the room. Relax with the sunlight during the day and art at night.”
Another manager added, “Especially, we’ve focused on the bathrooms.”
Following the manager, Taehong and Haegin moved towards the bathroom.
“Our bathrooms are larger than those in other hotels and have been well-received by guests seeking relaxation.”
The bathroom was noticeably spacious, with a bathtub almost as big as a small pool. Haegin nodded in acknowledgment, impressed by the attention to detail.
“What do you think, Haegin?”
Caught off guard by Taehong’s sudden question, Haegin stopped writing her notes.
“The luxury feel of the guest rooms is quite impressive.”
Haegin offered her honest opinion.
“But, like the team leader said, it might be a bit over the top.”
Her agreement with Taehong’s point made the managers frown, but Haegin stood her ground and confidently shared her thoughts.
“Have you heard about young people keeping houseplants?”
The managers looked skeptically at Haegin, some even appearing to mock her, as if to say, “What do you know?”
“People of all ages keep plants around them.”
Haegin smiled at the managers, continuing her explanation.
“I believe Yeonchang Group’s hotel branding should stand out. That’s why I suggest a new concept for the balconies. Usually, hotel balconies are cold and empty, serving only for ventilation or a breath of fresh air. But what if we turned them into mini-gardens? Something like a small terrace? I suggest investing half of what we spend on the bathrooms into beautifying these terraces.”
Haegin finished her pitch, alternating between her notes and the faces of the managers. Even those who had looked at her skeptically were nodding, unwittingly agreeing with her plausible idea. Taehong, who had been listening with crossed arms, was among them.
“That’s a good idea, Haegin.”
That single sentence from Taehong had a powerful impact. As they left the room, the managers handed their business cards to Haegin.
“We look forward to working with you, Haegin.”
Haegin awkwardly smiled and accepted the business cards handed to her.
Taehong simply watched from the side. His phone rang, and he checked the number before excusing the other managers.
“The call might take a while, so it might be best for you to go down first and wait.”
Following Taehong’s suggestion, the managers took the elevator down. Taehong answered the call, and Haegin looked around at the parts of the hotel she hadn’t seen yet while he was on the phone.
As Taehong’s call prolonged, Haegin continued brainstorming about the hotel. She thought deeply, looking at her notes. What color scheme would suit the hotel corridors? What decorations would be fitting? What about a rest area near the elevators? Her mind was completely occupied with work.
She walked along the long corridor, pen to her lips, deep in thought. Suddenly, she realized Taehong was no longer in sight and bumped into someone.
“Oh? I’m sorry.”
Her pen dropped to the floor in the collision. The man in front of her quickly picked it up and handed it to her. As Haegin took the pen, she looked up at the man.
“Thank you. I was lost in thought.”
“That happens.”
The man’s voice was smooth. Haegin tried to take the pen, but the man didn’t let go.
“Are you here alone?”
“Yes?”
This was a hotel, and the man had bumped into her in the guest room corridor.
Only the two of them were in the corridor, with no sign of Taehong. What did his question mean? Haegin naturally looked puzzled.
“What do you mean?”
Haegin asked, putting strength in her eyes. However, the man remained relaxed.
“It’s unusual, isn’t it?”
“What is?”
“A woman focusing on a notebook in a hotel corridor.”
“Is that wrong?”
Haegin asked, widening her eyes. She disliked how people often ascribe meaning to nothing of significance.
“It’s refreshing.”
