A.N. As true Canadians, we start this author's note by saying how deeply and sincerely sorry we are. It was our first year in university and we were busy (and not at all lazy). So, sorry. Very sorry.
Here's a short comeback chapter. We will continue this in the following weeks. We have many (master)plans for this story.
By the way, Rollande is gone. She became a part of this story, having moved to Korea to become an actress and all (she wishes).
Recap (for your benefit and ours):
-Jeremy has a masterplan to help Mi Nyu
-Tae Kyung has a masterplan to seduce Shin Woo to seduce Mi Nyu (he was at step 4)
-Mi Nam is still scared of boobs and had moments with Jeremy
-Jeremy has left to see Thierry
-Manager Ma is sweating over President Ahn
-Yoo He Yi might be up to something
Chapter 10 – Pomegrenate or The Comeback
In the last chapter: Tae Kyung had his eyes wide open and was roughly sucking a lime, his eyebrows wiggling.
In this chapter:
Yoo He Yi, the bitch for short, wasn't happy. After her last encounter with Tae Kyung, everything had gone downhill.
Flashback
"We offered you a service, now pay up!"
As He Yi was trying to run away and get that idiot to keep his voice down, a wild paparazzi-man appeared and screamed: "Scandal! Scandal! Sandale! Oops, Thierry made me too French again!" He took a picture before the girl could even think of doing anything.
"Yah! Don't take pictures!" she yelled, knowing it would have no effect on the situation. She was finally able to snatch her handbag away from the raging restaurant manager. Knowing how destructive such a picture would be for her career, she tried to jump on the man and take his camera away, only to trip and fall on the asphalt and scraping her knees.
The blond paparazzi-guy-thing-French-person looked at her with a huge grin and took another picture. He then skipped away merrily, laughing in glee.
End of flashback
After that, the pictures had been published in every magazine, every newspaper, and every Internet blog. Somehow, a rumour was started that she was satisfying her needs with the services of prostitutes…maybe even the services of a certain famous slut from Québec.
Her title of 'Korea's Fairy' had been revoked and given to a newer, shinier, prostitute-less, rising actress named Rollande. And it was all Tae Kyung's fault! That egotistical bastard! She would never let that go. She needed to take her reputation back and destroy his. An eye for an eye, as they say…but not really because that would be gross.
But first, she needed to find that blond paparazzi-guy-thing-French-person and discredit him. If she proved to the world he was nothing but a creepy stalker and liar, she would be off the hook. Probably. She should also tell that slut from Québec to stop calling her. That's why she was patiently waiting for her best friend Thierry in her favourite French café. He had promised to help her out with that little paparazzi-boy-toy-thing. She had already been sitting on a nearly broken chair for fifteen minutes when Jeremy barged in loudly calling out for his "French buddy guy friend". Jeremy saw her. She saw him. They both saw each other.
"So…you know Thierry too?" asked Yoo He Yi eyeing the other suspiciously. Every word was pronounced loud and clear, adorned with a knowing smile, as if she had practised.
"Yeah. Yeah, I do. How do you know his name?" responded Jeremy, laughing gleefully, somehow managing to give her an equally knowing look. It reminded Yoo He Yi of the paparazzi boy, but he wasn't running so it couldn't be him.
"I have my ways," she answered not-so-mysteriously still smiling. "I've been waiting for you, Jeremy."
"JOOLLLIIIIIIIEEEEE!" yelled Mi Nam.
No dog answered him since he was in his bedroom under the covers, crying in a very manly fashion. In fact, he was sobbing so much that his cry for help had sounded more like this: "My life is hell! Why am I so alone?" Of course, his understanding of what he was saying and doing might have been slightly altered by his lack of oxygen. He had been under his My Little Pony blanket for quite a while.
He then realized how pathetic he was being. He was crying over Jeremy! For absolutely no reason! Only because he was becoming, well, too French. And that was dangerous because, as we all know, the French are dangerous people…just look at Napoléon! He did try to invade Korea…or something like that. Is he in prison yet? wondered Mi Nam, suddenly nervous at the thought of a crazed Napoléon roaming around South Korea.
He definitely needed to save Jérémie! Oh no, even his name sounded French now! It's the ultimate proof. He must be de-French-ified…? He needed to find Jolie. Wait. Jolie was also a French word! It meant cheese right? Cheese was very French after all.
Anyway, Mi Nam got up from bed, shirtless (having ripped his shirt open in rage at the Frenchness surrounding him) and ran after Jolie in the garden. All the sudden fresh air surrounding him made him forget all his worries, and he ended up skipping around along with the golden dog, laughing for no particular reason. That is how Jeremy found them an hour later.
"What are you guys doing?" he asked with his head cocked to the side. He stared intently at Jolie, convinced she would be the first to confess.
Jolie lowered her head in shame. She was a bad dog for playing so hard and long with somebody other than her master. Mi Nam was also ashamed for the same reason and was covering his manly gorilla-like nipples.
Jeremy, not impressed in the least by the manliest nipples he had ever seen, remained silent.
"It's not what you think," said Mi Nam quietly, as he suddenly realized how many times he had said that same sentence in the past few days. At least twice now.
"Of course it couldn't be what I think. Jolie is a classy lady. She wouldn't play around with you. Anyway we need to see P.A."
"Who?"
"President Ahn. He said something about how 'time is money', 'Jesus' and 'stuff'. He wants us to call him P.A. now. Or The P.A. if we have the time. He wants to talk about an event."
"The event?"
"No, an event."
Both boys remained silent in confusion. After a few moments, things were getting pretty awkward and Mi Nam decided the silence was pissing him off.
"Let's go now! We are wasting our time! The…an event is tomorrow!" he exclaimed, looking away from Jeremy.
"Woof."
Jolie always knew what to say to make the boys hurry their asses.
"You guys have been so jackpot lately," started the one and only P.A. "But not really because we are still SECOND! I haven't raised you guys to be such losers! So, to remedy the situation, I planned an event for tomorrow." He smiled and threw his fist in the air, already lost in his reverie and celebrating his genius.
Manager Ma, in awe before his President's brilliance, quickly added: "To beat the enemy (i.e. F.T. Island), we need to befriend him. That is why we will hold a fundraiser tomorrow to help Lee Hong Ki find…"
"His long lost twin," finished Coordi Wang. All three adults were so in sync with each other. It was either because they had synced together before the meeting or because of the inexplicable sexual tension between the three of them.
Everybody turned to stare at Jeremy, who was, as always, in an endless state of obliviousness. He was nodding, agreeing with the idea.
"No one should be without his twin. That story is so sad. It resonates in a part of my soul that I'm not usually able to reach due to my idiocy."
Everybody kept staring at Jeremy.
"So it is settled. Now…wait, where are Shin Woo and Tae Kyung again?" said The P.A.
"We can't answer that until the next chapter boss. We need to stop there for now," replied the ever-sweating Manager Ma.
