‘I think you make a better Cha Eun Sang than me, oppa.’
Shin Hye laughed, remembering the re-enactment from Jong Suk’s party. She was behind the driving wheel, on their way to Min Ho’s pad. She and Min Ho had just left Jong Suk’s house after mingling a little bit more. Min Ho and Woo Bin's performance was the talk of the party. Woo Bin was enjoying the comments about him being a better Kim Tan than Min Ho.
‘Anya, I’m not as pretty as you,’ Min Ho replied.
‘Aigoo. You sure know how to make women’s hearts flutter. This is why I told Woo Bin you’re a flirt.’
‘Ya. I only flirt with my girlfriend!’
Shin Hye glanced at Min Ho in the passenger’s seat and hissed. She looked briefly at her watch. It was almost three in the morning.
‘Keunde…’ Min Ho broke the silence. ‘Did you... talk to Jong Suk?’
As soon as she heard Min Ho's question, Shin Hye recalled her conversation with Jong Suk in the garden, and their conversation before they left the party. Min Ho was still inside saying goodbye to some guests, so Shin Hye went out ahead.
‘Just so you know, my heart still hurts, but I’m hopeful it’ll stop soon enough,’ Jong Suk said as he walked Shin Hye to her car. He didn’t sound so dejected anymore, but his words still saddened her.
'It will,' she replied, smiling. 'Thanks for inviting me here. I had fun.'
‘Anya, thanks for coming over. I know you're very busy.' Jong Suk paused. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he was hesitating. 'Uhm. Shin Hye, you’ll understand if I don’t contact you for a while, right?’
Shin Hye looked at him fondly and nodded her head. She was going to miss him.
Jong Suk smiled awkwardly and rubbed his nape with his hand. ‘You and Min Ho hyung… you deserve each other. And I mean that in the best way. I hope you two are happy for a long time.’
‘I did,’ she said. ‘And my heart still feels heavy.’
She heard Min Ho sigh. ‘I know what you mean. I feel like I just crushed a boy’s dreams. That kid is really nice, too.’
‘But oppa, how did you know that Jong Suk, uhh, likes me? Did he tell you?’
‘Nope. I saw him come out of your building last week. I figured he visited you. No guy makes that effort if he wasn’t into a girl,’ Min Ho replied.
Shin Hye stopped the car and turned to him. ‘Chincha? So you knew he went to the apartment?’
‘Hmm,’ he said, nodding his head. ‘Don’t worry, I know it’s harmless. That’s why I didn’t bring it up.’
‘So you went back?’ She asked, bright-eyed. ‘You went back to my apartment that morning? Why didn’t you tell me? And why didn’t you come inside?
Min Ho smiled sheepishly. ‘Don’t be mad, but I kind of followed Jong Suk out. I wasn’t even able to step into the elevator.’
Shin Hye laughed. ‘You stalked him? You know you’re Lee Min Ho, right? That’s beneath you.’
‘Nothing is beneath me when it comes to you,’ he said. 'If I have to go through the entire blacklist, I will.'
She smiled. ‘Why did you come back? To my apartment, I mean.'
Min Ho reached for her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers. ‘I was driving away, thinking I did the right thing by leaving. But the farther I got, the more awful I felt. I shouldn’t have left like that. Not when things weren’t completely okay between us yet. It was a jerk move. I went back to apologize.’
‘Well, you should have just come back up and left poor Jong Suk alone.’
‘I should have, right?’ Min Ho shook his head. ‘I missed a few more hours alone with you. It’s okay, we can make up for missed opportunities,’ he grinned mischievously.
Shin Hye narrowed her eyes, then released Min Ho’s hand to start the car again. When they were almost near Min Ho’s building, he turned to her.
‘Stay for a bit.’
She suppressed a smile. She was feeling butterflies in her stomach again. ‘I can’t. I have a meeting tomorrow with Geun Suk oppa for our CF.’
Min Ho furrowed his brows. ‘How is that related to you staying for a bit?’
Shin Hye pulled over a block away from his building and turned to him. ‘Because staying for a bit means staying over, and the meeting is in the morning. No can do.’
‘Cham na,' Min Ho threw his head back. 'How can you make that assumption? Aigoooooo, you really are a pyuntae. Just have coffee with me, eo? I want to hear about Malaysia.’
‘I already had coffee with Jong Suk. And I gave you a blow by blow account of everything I did in Malaysia whenever you called. There’s nothing more to tell you.’
‘Tell me what you and Jong Suk talked about then.’
‘He told me to be happy. That’s all.’
Min Ho pouted. ‘You’re really not going up? I’m leaving for China in a few days and I’ll be there til the end of the month. We won’t see each other for almost two weeks. You’re still going to leave?’
Shin Hye bit her lip as she thought about it. She’d be lying if she said that she didn’t want to go up. Min Ho’s pleading face was enough to make her yield. It wasn't like she was opposed to some cuddling and a few sweet kisses. Besides, just thinking about not seeing him for two weeks made her miss him already.
‘Fine, but just a bit, okay? Just a bit. I’m not sleeping over,’ Shin Hye squinted.
Min Ho raised his hand, as if making a pledge. ‘I won’t let you sleep over even if you begged.’
‘I think you make a better Cha Eun Sang than me, oppa.’
Shin Hye laughed, remembering the re-enactment from Jong Suk’s party. She was behind the driving wheel, on their way to Min Ho’s pad.
