Men Over Boys
Chapter 02
Finally she could breathe since the last customer had left, Mi-Na was thankful that Ga-Eul and Uee had left a few hours earlier otherwise she would've went crazy from their constant questions about 'her mysterious prince' as they called him since she refused to give up anymore information.
She honestly knew why she liked him but at the same time she didn't know how she could've developed this, this crush on him since most of the times they've met she's either made a fool of herself, pissed him off, or he made fun of her and left. She was confused with her feelings, maybe it wasn't even a crush. Perhaps she was only mesmerized by his insanely good looks, impressive music talent, and natural charisma, that and he had helped her out a few times.
She was wiping down the last table with Tae-Suho and Yoo Ji sweeping the floors and washing the dishes, respectively when Han walked over to her.
"Hey, Minnie. Take this home." Han somewhat commanded, forcefully placing a box of delicious pastries in Mi-Na's hand. She blinked before raising an eyebrow at her older-brother figure.
"What's this for?" She asked, holding the box at eye-level.
He smiled, "I know you have a crush on one of those boys, think of this as a good luck charm." He whispered, winking before walking away, leaving a crimson-faced Mi-Na in his wake.
"Stupid, Han!" Mi-Na shouted but he knew she was really just thanking him.
If Han suspected she had feelings for 'her mysterious prince' then she probably did, he was never wrong about these things but this also confused her a great deal. Why did she have to like such a complicated person?
After Mi-Na exchanged good nights with her family away from family, also known as her co-workers and boss, she decided to absentmindedly ride her bike through the city. It had just gotten dark, the air was crisp, and the beautiful multi-colored lights of various advertisements caused the scene around her to glitter. She happened to look to her left to catch a glimpse of Min Seo-Hyun's, her idol, newest commercial and couldn't help but to be in awe.
"Wow, she's always so pretty." She complimented before continuing on.
Several minutes later, she caught the sight of Yoon Ji-Hoo who was leaning against a lit-billboard of Min Seo-Hyun, a gentle smile on his face as if he was remembering something precious. Mi-Na blinked, not sure if she wanted to interrupt the moment or not.
"Oh, Sunbae likes her too?" She called out to him. He seemed to tense before backing away almost in an embarrassed fashion but Mi-Na decided not to tease him although she wanted to.
"You know, touching the advertisement like that will get your hands dirty." She scolded, reaching into her shoulder bag, she begun to pull out several wads of tissue. Deciding that should suffice, Mi-Na kicked out the bike stand and begun to wipe down the advertisement unaware of Yoon Ji-Hoo's outstretched hand or the brief smile on his face as she unknowingly rejected him.
Mi-Na backed up to stand at his side, "She's really pretty, isn't she?" But she didn't allow him to respond, "She's just like a goddess who descended to Earth." She admired.
"Goddess?" He questioned, not even glancing at her.
"That's right. Not only is her face pretty but she's very smart and caring as well. She's donated almost all the money she's earned as a model. Oh, and not too long ago, she passed the French International Lawyer exam." Mi-Na's words held as strong degree of admiration and fondness that Ji-Hoo's curiosity picked up on.
"You know this woman?"
Mi-Na smiled as he looked down at her, "Personally? No, but she's my idol." She declared, giving a small dosage of aegyo.
Ji-Hoo chuckled while looking back at Seo-Hyun's beautiful face, "Idol?"
"Yes. Although everyone thought that she would take over her parents' company after she graduated, I didn't think so." Mi-Na was unaware that Ji-Hoo was looking at her again, "I've always thought that she would do something even greater. On every school holiday, she would go to Africa, Afghanistan, oh and she went to Tibet not long ago too, to help with their schooling or making sure they were being fed." She paused for a moment, "Though it's just my imagination talking, I hope someday that she marries someone of royalty or someone who may become President. Like Diana or Audrey Hepburn, a princess who contributes to world peace. Something like that." She finished with a bright smile on her face.
"She's just a model." Ji-Hoo replied.
Mi-Na rolled her eyes, "So? Didn't the French President divorce his wife to be with a model? Who knows? Maybe she'll be with the next French President or some European prince, they could fall in love with her at first sight and ask for her hand in marriage. Don't you think so?"
Mi-Na was obliviously to Ji-Hoo's emotional and mental dilemma when she asked so of course she would be confused and slightly hurt at his cold reply.
"Every time I see you, I find you to be so noisy and irritating." Mi-Na took a step back as if he physically pushed her and watched as he walked away from her.
"It was simply my imagination talking." She muttered, not thinking he would hear her.
"What would you know?" He shot back over his shoulder before disappearing from view.
"What did I say wrong?" But the question was left unanswered.
...Scene Change
Dinner with her family was always a sight to see and it wasn't unusually to see Kang San staring at his computer screen, breathing it in like it was air but the words that came out of his mouth had her choking on her food.
"Wow! This is going to make headline news. Noona, it says that there'a girl pregnant at your school." Her mother instantly shoved him away to take a look herself while her father followed closely behind. Mi-Na simply kept eating knowing that they were going to recite the article out loud.
"Miss K, a second year student in Shinhwa High School, has been spotted going in and out of the obstetrics hospital." Kang San read.
"Second year, Miss K. Mi-Na!" The seventeen-year-old almost dropped her chopsticks, "Is there a possibility that she's in your class? If it's Miss K, is her surname Kim?" Gong Joo questioned. Mi-Na rolled her eyes, why did everyone forget that she's a third year?
"Or it can be Kang." Kang San suggested.
"Or Kwon." Bong chimed in.
"The world is in a mess now. How can a second year student in high school get pregnant?" Mi-Na wanted to slap her forehead. Really, dad- she thought - there's something called unprotected sex.
"How can such a thing happen to a prestigious school like Shinhwa High? Oh, my! What's wrong with these rich kids doing such a thing?" Gong Joo exclaimed.
She simply tuned them out and continuing with her dinner while eyeing the almost empty pastry box on the table.
...Scene Change
Mi-Na was well-aware of the buzz surrounding her as she entered the school, ears covered by stylish headphones as she dropped in her seat, looking through her phone at the unread messages. She could hear all the whispers, could see all the horrible words and insults on the blackboard, and she could feel all the mocking stares digging daggers into her body but she continued to play dumb. She realized that the article was about her as soon as she stepped on school grounds. She was almost at her limit with Gu Jun-Pyo. He was taking this to a totally new level; pulling pranks and bullying her was one thing but to purposely ruin her integrity was other.
From the corner of her eye, she could see the Three Witches strutting up to her desk but paid them no mind until she was sure her messages went through, pocketing her phone, she turned towards them.
"What do I owe this lovely greeting?" Mi-Na said before any of them could speak.
Ginger mockingly laughed before asking, "How is the baby? I heard you went for a check-up." Mi-Na could hear the class's murmurs and gossip as they watched from the sidelines.
"Who's the father? Can you even remember his name?" Miranda chirped in. Mi-Na's infamous temper was reaching new heights, she knew she was at the point of reverting to her cold bitchy face the more the three continued to spout out nonsense.
"Are you kidding? She probably can't even remember his face!" Sunny exclaimed, chuckling.
"Oh, that's funny." Mi-Na laughed, coldly, "You would think you would have to have sex to make a kid, right? But that would be impossible because I still have my virginity, can you say the same?" That statement wiped the smirks off their faces, "Better yet, wouldn't I be the first to know? After all, a girl has to spread her legs before a boy can enter but you three probably know everything about that, wouldn't you?"
The room was dead quiet as the majority of the class stared at her in disbelief, never had they seen or spoke so brutally even when they were destroying her things and rubbing her financial situation in her face. This was a side that scared them because now she was unpredictable.
Before Ginger could retort, Mi-Na continued harshly, "Batting your fake eyelashes, flipping your extensions over your shoulder, and spreading your legs for any boy richer than your parents even if it's as clear as day that he's not interested in you. Poor thing." Mi-Na smiled, patting the stunned Ginger's shoulder before walking out of the classroom with a suffocating air around her was almost in the form of a demon visage.
...Scene Change
When Mi-Na appeared, Jun-Pyo released a scoff, "Speak of the devil."
"What are you talking about?" Woo-Bin questioned, not looking up from his card game with Yi-Jung.
"I was right, wasn't I? She came looking for me." The Don Juan and Casanova of the group looked up and were surprised at the sudden appearance of Lee Mi-Na. Ji-Hoo instantly noticed the tension in her body as he looked up at her almost in a concerned manner.
"If you came to apologize, you're too late." Jun-Pyo commented, not even looking at her.
"Why the fuck would I do that?" Four pairs of astonished eyes locked on her eerily calm form.
"What did you say?" Jun-Pyo questioned her, completely taken aback by her vulgar words.
"Are you deaf? Why the fuck would I apologize to someone like you? In your world does the victim apologize to the culprit?" She shouted, throwing a pile of flyers about her fake pregnancy on his sitting form. The other members of the F4 exchanged worried glances, she had never been this angry before so what rumor did Jun-Pyo spread this time to cause such a reaction?
"What did you say?" He repeated, heatedly, standing.
But Mi-Na was done talking, getting into position; her feet spread, stance firm, small hands balled into fists, and a look of determination and absolute fury set in stone on her face.
"You... What are you doing?" Jun-Pyo demanded, eyeing her with caution.
"I'm done playing this childish game with you." Was the only thing she said before executing a perfect roundhouse kick into his face, sending him crashing to the ground. Woo-Bin released a shocked but impressed laugh, Yi-Jung couldn't help but to smirk, and Ji-Hoo stared at Mi-Ha with admiration. Jun-Pyo wiped his lower lip, only to see a faint smudge of blood on his finger tip.
"Did you see me sleeping around?! Did you even see me holding hands with a guy!? How dare you spread all those rumors! Out of all the crap you've pulled, this is the lowest thing you've ever done. If you keep doing these filthy tricks, I'll kill you." Mi-Na gave him a piercing glare before leaving the room.
A few minutes later, she only had on thought in her head, "What the fuck did I just do!?"
...Scene Change
She could admit it, she was scared, correction, she was terrified to think of what Jun-Pyo was scheming in his curly head to get back at her with. Another public humiliation? Something worse than trashing her pool and spreading vile rumors? Going after her family's businesses? She really hoped he wasn't that low.
Embarrassingly, she was sneaking around school grounds trying to either get a glance at Jun-Pyo and go the opposite direction or to get to class without running into any of the F4. She was pretty sure if Woo-Bin or Yi-Jung saw her, they would let Jun-Pyo know; Ji-Hoo on the other hand, she wasn't sure about but she didn't want to take any chances. She was so focused on her surveillance, she didn't even noticed the four men in black until one of them spoke.
"Are you Miss Lee Mi-Na?" She looked at them suspiciously before deciding to lie.
"No, I think she's in the library." She replied, trying to smile to avoid suspicion.
But one of the man showed the supposedly leader a picture and she deflated.
The leader sighed, "We need you to come with us for a while."
"What? Where to?" Mi-Na questioned, her back against the brick staircase wall, "I'm a little busy right now, can't you come back later?"
"We have orders to take you with us, immediately." Mi-Na felt a shiver run down her spine, already knowing she wasn't going to like where this was going.
"From who?"
She could tell him was getting annoyed from the tone of his voice and the exasperated look on his face, "you'll know when you come with us."
"I'm sorry, I have to go to my part-time time. So, I'll be leaving first. Sorry." Mi-Na took two steps backwards, eyeing the men warily.
"Miss Lee Mi-Na, you have to come with us." He repeated.
Mi-Na stared at them for a moment before turning heel and taking off. She could hear their pounding footsteps. The chase continued for about half an hour and she was exhausted, thinking they had probably given up, she had foolishly let down her guard only to get snatched by the arms from behind and dragged to a black, unmarked car.
"Let go! Are you trying to kidnap me!?" Mi-Na shouted as she was shoved into the backseat, a man in black flanked her on both sides.
"Ouch!" The one on the right shouted when she managed to punch him in the stomach.
"This wouldn't happen if you would leave me alone!" She shot back, elbowing the man on the left when he tried to reach for her again.
"Stop moving!" The one in the passenger seat shouted as the one on the right tried to hold her down again.
"Then let me out of here!" She retorted, kicking the back of the seat and trying to get out of the car when a white cloth filled her vision. She slapped the cloth-filled hand away from her, maneuvering her face away, and trying to reach for the door handle while shoving the man's face out of her way. But the cloth was shoved onto her nose, loosing strength, she fell unconscious in seconds.
...Scene Change
Lavender was the first thing that came to mind as she breathed inhaled, it was then did she notice that her body was being touched and she instantly opened to eyes to see four women standing over her dressed in white.
"There's no need to do liposuction, right?" One questioned.
"There's no fat, just muscles. There'll be no effect even if you do it." Another answered.
"You've prepared the laser already, right?" A third inquired.
"We'll have to wax her before that." The last advised.
What the hell is going on here, she thought and before she could voice her thoughts, one of them ripped the wax paper off her toned legs, causing her to release a surprised scream. The next thing Mi-Na knew - she was having her hair washed, conditioned, and styled into delicate waves around her shoulders, glittery yellow eyeshadow was being applied to her eyelids, her nails were French manicured with a simple design in white, and a pale pink lip-gloss was applied to make her full lips more pronounced.
Half an hour later, a stylist was holding dozen of dresses against her body - trying to find the perfect match when two-colored sweetheart dress with black lace trimming along the bust caught her expert eyes. The dress was then paired with a cute pair of black ankle-strapped, rounded-toe pumps. Her accessories included a round-blue CZ pendant patistche necklace in silver with matching stud earrings and a matching crystal tapered cluster cuff-bracelet
Minutes later, Mi-Na was being led through what seemed to be an endless hallway; on her right and left were beautiful rooms decorated with dark-stained wood trimming, vibrant colors, extravagant fixtures, plush Persian rugs, and priceless furnishings. She was afraid to touch anything, everything was too beautiful to ruin with her finger marks. Even from her point of view in the hallway, she could see a vast landscape with a pond around the size of an Olympic pool, trees dotted the lush grass and blue mountains could be seen out into the distance.
She caught the eye of several maids who quickly averted their eyes from hers but she could feel their questioning and curious stares when they thought she wasn't looking.
"Everyone is very curious." Butler Wong mused, catching on to the glances, "This is the first time such a thing has happened. It's the first time our Young Master has brought a girl home."
But she didn't know why she was here and who brought her here in order for her to be dolled up. So she decided to ask the middle-aged man leading her, "Can I ask something?"
"Yes." He encouraged, stopping to face her. Mi-Na couldn't help but to play with the hem of the dress.
"This, this is still Korea, right?" She inquired, nervously.
Butler Wong flashed a small smile, "Yes, that's right."
"Then is this Cheong Wa Dae (Blue House/Korean President's house)? Or something like that?" She asked, following after him with quick steps.
"No." Was his short reply. Mi-Na frowned at the lack of information he was giving.
"Can I ask another question?"
"Yes, of course, Miss."
Mi-Na laughed, "I'm not a Miss. Just call me Mi-Na. Lee Mi-Na." She insisted.
"Yes, Miss Lee Mi-Na." She silently huffed at his stubbornness.
She decided to try a more direct approach, "Why am I here?"
"Honestly, I'm not sure about that either, Miss."
"Then where are we going?"
He stopped suddenly stopped in front of a door, "We're already here. He's waiting for you just beyond the stairs."
Mi-Na glanced back and forth between him and the door with uncertainty, building up the nerve, she gave a brief nod towards Butler Wong and entered. She couldn't help but to admire the grand chocolate brown with gold trim staircase and the lavish room. She continued on down the stairs and into the hallway until her eye caught the silhouette of a young man, around her age, looking out the window with his back facing her.
No fucking way, she thought, instantly recognizing his frame before he even turned to face her. She stood face-to-face with the one and only Gu Jun-Pyo.
"Don't tell me this is your house." Although she already knew the answer to that.
"Yes." He confirmed, walking closer to her and she instantly went into defensive mode.
"Why did you bring me here? What do you want?"
"I've already done what I wanted." He smirked. Mi-Na forced herself not to punch him in the face when he firmly held her shoulders in order for her to face the mirror beside them, "Look. You, yourself, are shocked, right? Money can even turn an ugly duckling into a heron. I also see why you choose a bigger uniform now, you really do measure up to your nickname 'Wonder Woman', eh?"
She rolled her eyes, ignoring the Wonder Woman comment, "It's swan. But that doesn't matter. What are you up to now? Who asked you to do this?" She accused, eyeing him with distrusting eyes.
"Hey, commoner. If you like me, just say so." Mi-Na stared at him as if he's finally lost his mind and he chuckled before continuing, "Right, you like to talk in opposites, don't you?"
"Gu Jun-Pyo, there's a limit to the jokes you make. This is illegal kidnapping, it's a crime!" She couldn't understand what he was thinking.
He scoffed in annoyance, "Nobody's around, so you can be honest about liking me here." He stared at her as if he was waiting for her to admit her dying love for him but she simply raised an eyebrow at him, "From now on, I'll be willing to make an exception and recognize you outside of school." Mi-Na's mouth dropped at the nerve of this guy but of course he took it the wrong way, "What? Does this explosive proposal scare you silly? Shall I repeat myself? If you just do as I say and when nobody's around I can treat you as the Almighty Jun-Pyo's girlfriend." He leaned closer to her face causing Mi-Na to angle herself away. "Understand?"
"You're crazy." She declared, he simply watched her.
"Has your brain been deteriorated from eating too much greasy food?" But he didn't respond, "forget it. I'm leaving." Mi-Na had only turned her heel and took two steps forward before he blocked her.
"You're the one whose brain has something wrong with it." He shot back, he sounded offended.
"Step aside while I'm still being nice. Or do you want another busted lip?" She threatened.
"Do you know how much money I spent on you from head to toe? One hundred million won."
"What!?" Mi-Na's mouth dropped.
"That's right. But that's nothing. If you're with me, you can enjoy more than that everyday."
Mi-Na only narrowed her eyes at him.
"What? Are you saying you don't want it? Are you crazy?" He couldn't believe this girl.
"First, you constantly humiliate me in school. Second, you kidnapped me and had me dolled up to fit you're lifestyle, and now you're trying to pay me to be your girlfriend. How can I still be in the right state of mind?"
Jun-Pyo couldn't say anything but Mi-Na wasn't finished yet.
"Every-time I see your face, it feels like bugs are crawling underneath my skin." He was taken aback.
Mi-Na begun to strip herself of the jewelry; first the earrings, then the necklace, and finally the bracelet. She was about to take off the dress when she remembered that she was being watched and she didn't have the slightest idea where her clothes could be.
"Get my uniform now!"
Silence descended upon the room as several maids ran around the mansion to find her clothing. Jun-Pyo was feeling a swirl of emotions, the most pronounced being embarrassment, anger, confusion, and surprisingly longing. How could this one girl stir up so many emotions inside of him, some he's never felt before?
"And another thing," she waited until he faced her, "it seems you don't know but friends can't be bought with money. You use your heart to reach out to them." Finishing her little lecture, she turned to walk away but was stopped by his voice.
"There's nothing that can't be bought by money. Tell me. Is there such a thing?" Mi-Na turned to face him, "Is there really something that can't be bought using all the money in this world? If you're that confident, tell me right now, commoner."
Mi-Na smiled, "You can't buy happiness or love. You can't buy loyalty or understanding. You can try to buy any of those things but they will never be genuine. That's why money can't buy them." She turned and disappeared from his sight.
...Scene Change
Mi-Na had been pulling her long hair into a messy bun and redressed in her school uniform when she realized she was still wearing the ankle-strap heels and sighed dramatically. She was already about a mile from the entrance of the house but figured where she was standing was still his property judging from the style of the fence.
"Crap, how could I forget about the shoes?" She scolded herself. Quickly taking them off and tossing them over the nine-feet high fence, she abruptly turned around when she heard a motorcycle racing up the street. She pressed herself against the fence, she somewhat relaxed when Yoon Ji-Hoo's face was revealed.
"You again?" Mi-Na blew the bangs out of her eyes in irritation, whispering, "shouldn't that be my line."
She was still weary around him due to her supposed crush on him and his cold words from before but since he followed her to a nearby bench after calling Yoo Ji to pick her up, she decided to test the waters a bit.
"Are you going somewhere?"
"Home." She was actually surprised he answered but didn't try to make any more conversation, but she was once again stunned when he continued to speak, "You?"
"I'm going home too just waiting for my ride." She replied, looking away from him.
She could see his eyes traveled down her legs and something stirred within her, "In this manner?"
Mi-Na sighed, "A situation came up," then pouted when he started to laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Every time I see you, you're always in a dramatic situation."
"Now that you mention it, I suppose it does seem that way." She released a soft laugh before glaring in the opposite direction before a question popped up in her mind, "Can I ask you something?" She inhaled deeply when she felt his eyes on her, "Is there anything in this world that can't be bought with money? Even if you give millions of dollars, you'll never be able to get it." She felt as though Jun-Pyo probably didn't understand what she was trying to tell him so maybe getting an answer from someone of his social class would be better.
"Air," it was so simple that she couldn't help but stare at him before the two shared a laugh, "Of course! Why didn't I think of that?"
Mi-Na froze when she felt his slender fingers ruffle her hair and froze, she almost didn't hear him say, "You're a really interesting kid," as he stood up.
Ji-Hoo shuffled through his things and tossed a pair of shoes at her which she caught, "Wear them. If you walk like that around here, you'll get caught." Was he actually teasing her?
She watched as he disappeared from view and couldn't keep the smile that came across her face, she almost didn't hear Yoo Ji call out to her.
"Let me guess, you got to see your prince charming, eh?" He mocked as soon as she slid into the seat of the BMW. Mi-Na instantly blushed and looked at him with wide eyes.
"I saw the whole time." He admitted with a smile as he pulled off.
"But...you, Hyung (Older Brother)!" Mi-Na slapped his shoulder in embarrassment, not even able to deny it.
"No need to be embarrassed, it's nice to see you so flushed after so long." He teased, pinching her cheek with his free hand. The ride to her house was pleasant and after promising to be honest with him about her newfound crush, he allowed her to enter the house. She waited until everyone was sleeping before she meticulously cleaning the shoes in order to return them to Ji-Hoo the following day.
...Scene Change
Mi-Na had waited for Yoon Ji-Hoo at the rooftop for twenty minutes but decided to go to their lounge room and dropped them off, she honestly wouldn't know what to say to him, after-all he didn't seem like the type to enjoy 'thank-yous'. She had just walked into the room when Yi-Jung and Woo-Bin appeared.
"Who this? Ah, isn't this Gu Jun-Pyo's mortal enemy, Wonder Woman?" Yi-Jung teased.
"Why are you here? Jun-Pyo isn't here yet." Woo-Bin questioned and informed.
"Why would I come find him?" She retorted, giving them a look.
"Aren't those Ji-Hoo's sport shoes?" Woo-Bin pointed out.
"Please help me return them to him." She said, holding out the bag towards Yi-Jung who agreed.
"Excuse me." She said, before bowing and trying to go around them when Yi-Jung held out a hand to stop her.
"Wait a moment. Have a cup of tea before you leave." He suggested, flashing his signature smile.
...
"Did you really say that to Jun-Pyo?" Woo-Bin questioned in amazement and at Mi-Na's nod, he continued, "Wow, you're really amazing." He acknowledged.
"Why do you say that?" She asked, after taking a small bite of the cookie.
"Because no one has ever shown such anger to him before." Yi-Jung informed.
"Ah, I see." Mi-Na commented before taking a small sip of honey tea.
"Oh, it's Seo-Hyun." Woo-Bin announced, looking at the TV from over Mi-Na's shoulder who also glanced to look.
"She should be coming back soon, right?" Yi-Jung asked.
"I think so, Ji-Hoo must be really happy." Woo-Bin mused.
Mi-Na knew it was none of her business but she couldn't help but to be curious so she decided to dance around and see what information the two would offer her, "Have the four of you known each other for a very long time?"
"Yes, from kindergarten til now." Woo-Bin volunteered. Mi-Na simply nodded, loosing her confidence and having second thoughts of even asking what she wanted.
"You seem to have something that you're really curious about." Mi-Na forced herself not to blush, was she that easy to read? "Ask us. We'll tell you if we know." Yi-Jung encouraged, "Take it as if we're repaying you."
"What?" Mi-Na couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"It's been really fun for us lately. All thanks to you." Woo-Bin clarified.
Mi-Na could've took that two ways; either he's saying that she was their source of entertainment or that they enjoyed having her around, she decided to go with the latter just to make herself feel wanted, "Are Ji-Hoo Sunbae and Min Seo-Hyun acquainted?" Though that wasn't the word she wanted to use.
Both of them chuckled simultaneously, "Acquainted?"
"When Ji-Hoo was five, he got into a car accident," Mi-Na subconsciously traced the faint outline on her lower side, "His parents died on the spot, leaving him as the only survivor. Then, he treated into autism, ignoring everyone around him. The person who pulled Ji-Hoo back to the normal world was Min Seo-Hyun. To us, she's just our childhood playmate, our Noona, and our friend. But to Ji-Hoo, she's his first love, girlfriend, and mother." Yi-Jung informed.
...Scene Change
"How pretty. How can someone be so pretty? Her parents must be really happy, having a daughter like her." Gong Joo insisted as she stared into the TV which was showing yet another commercial starring Min Seo-Hyun.
"That's Min Seo-Hyun, right Mom?" Kang San questioned, taking a bit of his rice.
"Yes. God is really unfair. Some people are pretty, smart, and have a good family background. Yet, others..." Gong Joo sneered at Mi-Na from her seat. Bong tried to compliment Mi-Na who only stood up from the table, leaving her food half-eaten.
"You're done eating?" Gong Joo inquired, looking surprised.
"I don't have an appetite anymore." Was the only thing she said before closing her bedroom door. In all honestly, her mother's words didn't even faze her, her mind was racing with thoughts concerning Ji-Hoo and Seo-Hyun.
"My crush is in love with my idol, how ironic is that?" Mi-Na mused to herself as she held the handkerchief to the light, her eyes tracing the delicate lettering of his initials. She couldn't help but smile softly as she remembered when he tried to wipe the drying eggs and flour from her body, with a heavy sigh, she neatly placed the cloth in her drawer and made a promise to herself not to fall in love with Yoon Ji-Hoo since he already belonged to Min Seo-Hyun.
Author's Note: I'm not sure if anyone's enjoying this story so until I get feedback this will be the last chapter I'll post.
