At the same time, somewhere in Seoul...
A stream of curses was heard from one of the nanny vans. Fortunately, the only people inside the van were a man who wore a helpless expression and a make-up artist who looked like she had got used to the curses.
The source of the curses was a man who was sitting on the second row with some paper in left hand and handphone in his other hand. He looked so agitated that he looked like he was ready to jump up at anytime.
That man was no other than Lee Minho himself.
"Yaa, Shorty, where have you been all this time?!" He shouted as soon as he finished cursing both Sujin and Jaejin. He glared at the petite woman through his phone.
"Here and there. Not your business, anyway." She shrugged off casually.
As expected, her answer made Lee Minho lost his mind. His eyes were practically shooting daggers with his jaw hardened.
"Just wait until I get my hands on you." He said through his gritted teeth.
Sujin smirked. "Let's see."
Behind the girl, Hwang Jaejin let out a chuckle. "It's been a long time since the last time I heard the two of you bickering like this again. Finally, we get together again."
A soft smile appeared on Lee Minho's face on the screen. His expression changed so fast! "Shorty, I forbid you to disappear again, you hear me?"
Sujin snorted. "Crazy." She murmured lightly, but there was a hint of warm smile in the corner of her face.
"Minho-ya, are you shooting your new drama now?" Jaejin asked curiously. "I heard that you got into trouble with Songyi because of this drama?"
"You should call her Noona. Or at least, be more respectful towards her. She is older than you, should I remind you of that again?" Minho scolded him.
"Why should I? I'm not even close with her. Ah, I don't even like her. Why should I do that? Just because she is your girlfriend then I should treat her well? Sorry but I don't have any respect left for her and you know that." Jaejin scoffed. He didn't even bother to disguise the disgust in his voice. "It's a wonder why you are still keeping her by your side."
"Alright, alright, do what you want then. Stop saying things about my girlfriend." Helplessness laced Minho's voice.
"Shorty, you are awfully quite. You don't have anything to ask me?" Minho's eyes drifted to the other figures the screen.
"No." The reply came right after he finished his question. A typical answer from Sujin.
Minho's lips twitched seeing her expression didn't change as she uttered that heartless word. "Jaejin is being salty since he has just broken up with his model girlfriend!"
"Hey, why did you bring that up?" Jaejin glared at him.
"You talked about my girlfriend first!" Minho defended himself quickly.
"Pathetic."
Both men glared at the source of the voice. Disdain was clear on her cute face. Her eyes conveyed the meaning of her word perfectly.
"What are you guys doing exactly? Are you bragging about your girlfriends to me? What? What do you want me to do? Meeting them? Jaejin's girlfriend has broken up with him, it means she was not your perfect match, why would you be salty about it? Just think of it as learning experience. And Minho, you are dating an older sister? Good for you! But, it seems that you close your eye for her bad behavior. If even Jaejin finds her annoying, I doubt I will take your side this time. So yeah, meeting her is out of option. That's what you guys want me to do, right?"
A long scolding came from the petite girl. Both Jaejin and Minho smirked as what she said was right and wrong at the same time.
"Ah, my mistake. You don't want me to meet her. You just want me to scold you. Sick masochist!" If she didn't display her disdain to the fullest before, she did now.
What she said made them burst out of laughter. She was right this time. They intentionally mentioned their girlfriends not to brag to her about those girls, or even want her to meet them -if she wanted it, they would arrange the time and place, of course. Jaejin just wanted Sujin to scold Minho for having a bad girlfriend and Minho just wanted Sujin to scold Jaejin for being unable to move on from his last girlfriend.
Somehow, whatever she said could easily make them feel like it was true, that there was nothing could make them stray from the right path too far. Her scolding could directly pull them back on track.
Maybe it was the result of their continuous pampering towards her.
"Shorty, it's good to have you back here. Let's meet when you return to Seoul." Minho smiled.
"Yes, yes, it's absolutely awesome having you here." Jaejin hugged her tightly without warning with a grin on his handsome face.
"Hey hey, let her go! Why are you hugging her?! Let her go!" Minho shouted in agitation. If only he could go through the screen, he would have jumped in and separated them in instant. It was too bad he couldn't do that.
Knock, knock...
"Lee Minho-ssi, it's time!" A voice came from outside the van, a reminder that it was his turn next, successfully pulled him back to his senses.
"Okay. Thank you." His manager replied with a smile towards the woman who came to knock on their door.
"Minho-ya, you should be more aware of your surrounding, you know? It's a good thing that this parking lot is pretty quiet now. Please, refrain yourself next time, oh?" His manager helplessly asked.
He coughed a little to regain him composure. As soon as he was reminded of his current circumstances, a hint of blush appeared on his cheeks. It was always so easy to lose his control if it was related to Choi Sujin. However, he didn't regret it at all.
"I get it, Hyung." His awkward reply made the other two on the screen chuckled.
"Well, it seems that our superstar is busy now. Then, see you later?" Jaejin waved his hand.
"Oh, see you later." Sujin waved her hand, too.
"Heartless." Minho sneered. "Then, make sure you visit me later, okay Shorty?"
"Alright, alright. I get it. Bye." She nodded in a haste and tapped on the red button, successfully cutting off the connection.
"Aish, this girl is still so heartless." Minho gritted his teeth in annoyance, but a second later, an excited smile appeared on his face. Gripping his phone in his hand, he had a soft look on his usually arrogant eyes. "Welcome back, Shorty." He whispered.
"Minho-ya, let's go." His manager pulled open the door on his side.
"Ah, wait a minute, Hyung. I need to remind that jerk not to touch her." He typed on his phone fast before he jumped down the car with his assistant behind him. "Let's see what will happen to you if you touch her, you bastard!"
