"You should totally open a hospital." Suggested Eun Soo to both Choi Young and Gongmin. "Then you should hire me." Choi Young said nothing, just lifted both eyebrows while Gongmin laughed.
"Is the doctor having problem finding a job?"
"No, just a good place to work at." And she continued writing down on the laptop, looking through the thick glasses she wore; her hair was wild as ever, a bit of the hair gathered over the crown of her head creating a cute lonely palm tree in the expands of reddish tresses. Choi young turned to Gongmin and watched the boy smile. They had finished classes earlier and they were discussing the investment made by the boy's father into some business deal, what prompted a talk about them creating a small business for themselves. With Choi Young such a determined man, and the boy such brain for such things, they would have the world for themselves in less than a year. Besides they had both studied finances and business management, might as well use the knowledge right?
"What are you writing?" Asked Choi Young, pulling the laptop from Eun soo and staring down at the contents. "Is this your thesis?"
"Yeah. Give it here!"
"I thought you were working with steam cells, not… the psychological effects of the French Revolution… what?" They stared at each other, her smiling like an idiot while his stare flared with anger. "Are you making that guy's homework as well?!" Eun Soo paled, and turned slightly to her left.
"No." She said, not looking at Choi Young, whose eyes flared with anger, and he got up.
"Yes you are. Where is that punk, I'm going to rip his eyes out!" and laptop in hand Choi Young marched off, been followed by panikin Eun Soo. From the side door the man passed by Nogook, and totally ignored her, even after she called out for both of them. Huffing the girl watched them go, and then turned.
"Gongmin-ssi!" And happily she forgot about her brother and friend and hurried to the man. "Gongmin-ssi, were you waiting for me? Did you wait long?"
"Actually I was just talking to your brother." He said politely, smiling, her smiled dropped and she looked down, making the man frown. "But now that you are here, would you like to have something to drink? Coffee, a juice?"
"Yes!" Her smile returning full force, made him wonder if she was actually aware of how much it affected his senses.

"Choi Young-ssi! You don't have to do this, huh? Let's just sit down and talk about this!" He skipped her interruption by sidetracking, giving a step back and then moving forward, leaving her standing in the middle of the hallway wondering what had happened. Eun Soo turned around saw him walking determined through the halls where the classes for med students were usually offered and while she attempted to stop him, he barged in without care in the world. He wasn't supposed to be in the building, only her, but people were so used to watch them stroll around together no one minded. Except the first years and they usually got a good talk to before even dare to bother them.
"Choi Young-ssi!" She called again, holding his arm and feeling his strength dragging her… until they turned in the corner and halted, quickly pulling back in surprise.
"Did you see that?!" He asked, astonished.
"Oh My God!" She cried, holding her hand to her lips, eyes widening.
"Give me those!" He murmured, and took off her large glasses, put them on and peeked again, returning in utter surprise. "Yep, we saw right!" For some reason they shared the same sight problem, they had bought the pair of thick glasses that looked ridiculously large on her, and ridiculously small on him, because it helped both of their sights. Although she carried them around, he usually used them, and vice versa. It was something only they understood, like many thing in their relationship.
In the hallway a couple was hugging and kissing, unbothered by the bewildered stares they were getting. Usually they would ignore such couples, that wasn't really their business, but considering the girl was Choi Young's girlfriend, and the boy Eun Soo's boyfriend they got to at least stare in awe at the image. "I'm going to kill him." Said Choi Young, making Eun Soo push him back towards the hallway, where they hid. "What are you doing?"
"Don't do anything rash."
"Is this computer Imja's?"
"No, it's his."
"Fine." And smirking he took her hand and walked down the hallway towards them.

"Ouch!" Produced Choi Young, as Eun Soo attempted to clean the blood from the injury he'd gotten on his eyebrow.
"You are such a baby."
"It won't scar, won't it? You know my modeling career and all…"
"Sure, if you would only." She said smiling, and turned to find some disinfecting wipes. "You know, this is nothing; considering the fights you've gotten into the last few years, this is nothing. But I did tell you not to drop that laptop."
"Yeah." He said absentmindedly, while she cleaned the injury, a simple gash to his face was nothing compared to the beating he gave the guy. It was too bad his friends had been around and they ganged up on him. It was a good thing he'd teach Eunl Soo self-defense and she could get one of the guys with a suplex. He'd dealt with the other three, but the suplex had scared them others off. "How the hell you manage that one?"
"That's nothing, you should see me kickboxing." And his eyes rolled, she finished her tending to his would, and offered a lollipop. "Here, you were a good boy." He narrowed his eyes at her, and took the lollipop, unfolding it and thanking her, before putting it in his mouth. Eunl Soo put away the small kit she was forced to buy for these instances, and then dropped on bed, amazed with the day's happenings.
"If you hadn't been making that punk's homework we would have never found out." He said, dropping on bed beside her, sucking the lollipop. He wasn't accusing, he was just commenting; besides he had a date that was forcefully canceled.
"And if you hadn't gone crazy on his ass I might be drinking a mojito." She apparently also had a date that was canceled.
"Mojito?"
"Yeah, it's couple's night at the Suribang's." She said, matter of factly. They were down for a second, him sucking, her fuming… Until they sat up, turning to each other.
"Then they'll be together at the bar!" And they hurried up, Eun Soo pushed him out of her way and jumped the small distance to her closet, opening it quickly. "We need something for seduction night, make them think we are together now that they dumped us."
"That would work wonders; she was always jealous of you."
"Exactly! He was jealous of you too."
"So we fool the ones who fooled us?"
"You don't want to?" And she turned, staring at him for a second; he frowned, sucking the candy and looking at the clothes in hands.
"That dress is too long." And he reached into the closet, looking around her stuff, until he found that little wine colored dress that usually got the trick done for him. "This, wear this. Take a shower and use that perfume I like so much, she knows I love it on you."
"Then you wear your cologne and that dark gray outfit, the one with the blue shirt."
"That's expensive."
"And this dress isn't?"
"Then I'll pick you up in an hour." And blowing her a kiss, he picked another one of the lollipops and hurried out. She laughed to herself; it was their last semester at the university, might as well live it up!

"Wait up, wait up!" She said, now fully dressed and hurrying towards him. "Close your eyes."
"No, I don't need liner." But she insisted with a whine, and lifted the little brush. The liner wasn't even black, it was a dark brown and the way Eun Soo applied it made him look dangerously hot. So she announced she was done and he blinked. "What do you think?"
"You are one hot bitch tonight."
"Talk for yourself." And swatting her behind he lifted her coat from the nearby sofa and they were out.
They usually turned heads when they entered the club, people knew them, specially the owners, and they were usually praised for looking like the perfect couple. But tonight, that they were all dressed up and smelling so good, and holding so close together; the entire bar was at awe, those who knew them and those who didn't couldn't help but to stare as they walked in, his sharp serious gaze looking around while she simply gave an enigmatic smile and followed his commands, leading him to a table. Their table.
"Wow, hormones galore." Said Gongmin, appearing form the side; Nogook was dangling willingly from his side, not that the man was really attempting to seduce her, and they both looked quite tipsy. "What are you two up to?"
"Nothing much." Defended Eun Soo, smiling at them.
"Unnie, that dress is so cute, it makes you look so sekshi." The girl gave Eun Soo the thumbs up, and the older woman smiled knowingly.
"Thank you."
"Now how can you go whoring around?"
"How dare you call Imja a whore, Nogook!" Hissed, Choi Young with a frown and angry, while Gongmin chuckled; Eun Soo didn't seem to mind them, already used to the fighting between brothers.
"I'm not calling Unnie a whore, you are a whore! And she's your pimp!" Before things escalated too quickly Gongmin stepped in.
"I heard of your scuffle and the reasons, I think your presence here is because of that."
"Good call." And Choi Young ordered from his good pledged aunt (because for free drinks he would do whatever the old lady asked), their drinks. "And you two?"
"I'm trying to get her drunk to steal her away." Said Gongmin, smiling as the girl hugged him, pretending to be drunk.
"I don't think you have to work so hard." Then a moment of silence. "Hey, that's my sister!"
"Too late!" And Gongmin hurried away, holding Nogook in arms and laughing.
"Unnie, call me!" Said Nogook, before disappearing through the crowd, their drinks were delivered, along with some freshly peeled nuts, and their pledged aunt narrow her eyes at them.
"You two idiots, what are you up to?"
"Nothing, promise." Said Eun Soo not looking at the woman, while Choi Young turned away, not answering.
"Don't get into trouble, and if you break anything, you pay for it." The last was directed at Choi Young, who simply turned to sit on the stood beside Eun Soo's arm still rounding her back.
"Imja, I can't find them."
"Me neither." And she took a deep gulp from her drink. "Good thing, I don't 'think I could follow through, you know how I sometime get this chicken legs…"
"Eun Soo-ah?" That got her to freeze, and Choi Young to turn very serious towards their right. "Wow Eun Soo-ah? Is that really you?"
"Remember, don't crumble."
"Don't leave me, don't you dare leave me…" And they were both forced to turn, coming face to face with her sumbae. "Sumbae… what a disgrace finding you here."
"Yah, Eun Soo-ah, I thought I'll find you here. Baby would you let me…" And when the man reached to take her hand, Choi Young pulled the limb away.
"Get lost." He said murderously, eyes narrowed.
"This is between Eun Soo and I…"
"There is no such thing. Now leave." Said Choi Young, coming between them and covering her trembling body from the man, who scoffed and was about to tap on Choi Young's shoulder… When a couple of bouncers appeared.
"What's the problem here?"
"This guy is…"
"This guy is frightening, Eun Soo." Said Choi Young quickly, making the men turn to the woman; Eun Soo lifted her teary eyes and hand covering her lips. Having known Eun Soo for years now the sight made the bouncers angry and taking hold of the man they dragged him out. They both laughed, leaning to each other, and drinking from their tall glasses. He ate some nuts and she laughed some more.
"That was pure genius." She said, shaking her head, making his hair nuzzle his chin. Choi Young looked down at her, amazed at her glorious beauty, and smiled. "The way he looked…" They laughed again, and Choi Young finished his drink, asking for a second. It might be alcohol but suddenly this woman before him… There was a new light casted over her. "I'll have to return the favor." She said suddenly, her hand caressing his cheek and pulling him down towards her, bringin his lips to her cheek, where an involuntary kiss escaped and graced her silky skin. His hand suddenly lifted, and held possessively over her stomach, sliding across and back, enjoying the way she squirmed as another kiss found her cheek.
Eun Soo buried against his collarbone, caressing his covered arm, leaving a trail of fire behind. When had she gotten so seductive? Wasn't she that girl he could eat pizza with and talk training exercises with and drink himself silly with…? Who was this seductress that had replaced her?
"She's across the room."
"What?"
"Your ex."
And his eyes lifted, finding the woman who had betrayed him staring at them, with wide eyes and the same unbelieving stare the man had given them minutes before. Choi Young didn't care. He turned back to drop a kiss down Eun Soo's naked shoulder, smelling that perfume she had selected. How come this revenge plot had gotten out of hand? "Imja," He said softly, head bowed down, breath caressing her skin. "What is happening here?"
Eun Soo turned, and touched his cheek again. "Daejang, should we become lovers?" Did she feel it too? "I know we might be doing this out of pain and anger, hell I'm doing it out of this alcohol… but I feel so good with you."
"Imja makes me feel so good too." He returned, their eyes finding each other.
"Tomorrow we can act as if nothing happened, we can live our lives as if nothing. But it feels so right, should we?"
Maybe he was whoring around.
The slam of a tray made them both look up, Eun Soo blushing with the intrusion while Choi Young stared up in surprise. Their pledged aunt was there, frowning at them; no one in the bar had noticed and his ex was nowhere to be found. "Though I've seen worse displays around here, I don't' want to have to kick you out because of indecent behavior. So get a room, there's plenty upstairs." She smiled at them, refilled their drinks and Eun Soo started laughing.
"Oh my God." She said softly, leaning of the table to hide her face of shame. At the bar the woman ordered the three stooges to continue working, while they stared at the couple, unable to help themselves.
"Those two should really get a clue and start dating." Said the tall one, wearing a black shirt and long hair. Beside him the one wearing white sniffled. "There, there, you knew this would happen eventually." And letting out a wail of despair the man in white hurried away, sobbing out his love for Choi Young. The boy wearing green neared his brother, frowning. "What do you think? Are they something now?"
"They must be, look at how he continues to touch her even after been scolded."
