Chapter 38 - In the dark

Bong Soon wakes up and gets ready to go to work.

B.S mom:Do you want me to drop you off?

Bong Soon :No I can go on my own

B.S mom: (sulking) Come on I'll drop you, I never get to spend time with you these days.

Bong Soon: (annoyed) Okay okay but let's go soon I want to be the first one there.

B.S mom: (excited )Its okay .

They finish eating and get going. In the car there's an awkward silence

B.S mom :Soo...

Bong Soon: So?

B.S mom: Last night I wanted a glass of water.

Bong Soon: And?

B.S mom:Well I heard you say something about your dad.

Bong Soon: You were spying on me?

B.S mom:(  defensive )No...no...no..i just wanted a glass of water

Bong Soon:(smiling)Its okay don't  worry I'm not mad

B.S mom:(relieved)Thank goodness

Bong Soon:(curious)  And then?

B.S mom:Well I heard that you're using Min Young as your spy.

Bong Soon:(teasingly )Well I got the idea from you

B.S mom:(embarrassed) Okay,that was a poor parenting move on my part sending her there to spy on you.Its just because you no longer talk to me ,so I thought she'd help me know what you dont tell me.

Bong Soon :I know you're worried but I'm okay ,really.

B.S mom :If you say so

Suddenly the car stops

Driver:Young miss we're here

Bong Soon: Okay mom bye ,(she kisses her on the cheek)Have a nice day.Don't work too hard.

B.S mom:(smiling)  I'll try not to

Bong Soon exits the car and as she's about to close the door her mom holds it open

B.S mom: Don't think that every man will turn out like your dad.Myung Soo is a good boy.

She then closes the door and they drive off leaving Bong Soon standing there looking sad.

The manager arrives at the noodle shop and sees Bong Soon just  standing there

Manager:Hey what are you doing here freezing in the cold

Bong Soon just stays quiet

Manager:Aish  are you deaf now.(waving his hand across her face )What's wrong kid

Bong Soon just stays quiet.

He then smacks her head and she finally moves

Bong Soon: (pissed) Ouchh why would you do something like that

Manager:(defensive) Its not my fault you were just standing there like some statue

Bong Soon:(sulking ) But still why would you hit me...Aishh it really hurts.

Mi Nam arrives

Mi Nam:What are you guys fighting about this early in the morning

Bong Soon:(glaring at him) He hit me

Manager:Stop exaggerating, I just smacked you a little .Stop acting like a big baby.

Mi Nam: (laughing)You guys are just so extra come on let's go in,it's cold out here

Manager: That's what I said.

They walk into the noodle shop and start preparing for customers.

Manager: I'm sorry about smacking you

Bong Soon: I'm sorry for snapping at you

Manager: (extendinghis hand )Civil?

Bong Soon: (going in for a hug instead) How about friends.

Mi Nam: Awww, you guys are adorable

Bong Soon  and The manager pull her in for a group hug.

They then continue with their preparations.The chef and other workers arrive. Soon it's opening time and they barely have any customers.

Manager:I miss my Soo Hyun.

Mi Nam :(sad)If he was still coming here the place would be packed.

Bong Soon: Aish you make it seem like he's the only reason this shop was doing well.

Manager: Well it is true

Bong Soon :Its all in your head,our noodles are the best so people will come anyway

Manager :Maybe if you and Mi Nam were cuter we'd get more male customers

Bong Soon :Are you trying to pimp us for more customers,

Manager: Welllll

Bong Soon:That won't do.Plus I have a better plan

Mi Nam: Which plan

Bong Soon:  Well it's going to be a surprise.

Manager: I need to know before you do anything.

Bong Soon: I won't  consult you, I'll go to the real boss.

Mi Nam: Soo Hyun?

Bong Soon: Yep

Manager: When you do speak to him ,tell him to come back to me ,I miss him.

Bong Soon :You're such a drama king.

Manager: You  little ...

Bong Soon: (glaring at him)What?

Manager: (scared)Ummm nothing go back to work

A couple hours later the boys walk into the shop followed by a group of girls.

Myung Soo: We've brought customers for you.

Bong Soon: (sarcastic) Yey more work

Won Ho: I'm  just here to see my girl....

Bong Soon covers his mouth

Bong Soon: Don't you dare say girlfriend or even act like you know us(she uncovers his mouth)

Won Ho: Why

Bong Soon: (whispering) These girls followed you here because they like you.But then if they see you flirting with Mi Nam they won't stay ,they are only here because they hope to get your attention. Simple fangirl 101.

Won Ho:(annoyed) Why should I listen to you

Bong Soon: Well if you want Mi Nam to get death threats go right ahead ,tell them she's your girlfriend  .But if you want to help her make extra tips sit quietly and don't even think about looking at her .Okay?

Won Ho:That's stupid

Bong Soon: Suite yourself

Won Ho: (giving in) Okay Okay

Myung Soo: You're getting smarter by the day

Bong Soon: If only I was this smart at school

Myung Soo: How's  your plan going

Bong Soon :Well I still need permission from Soo Hyun then we'll totally do it

Mi Nam: He knows the plan

Bong Soon: Yes

Manager: But you didn't even tell me and I'm the manager.

Bong Soon: Exactly, you're just the  manager,(whispers )not my boyfriend .

Manager: So all I need to do is date you to know everything

Bong Soon: Pretty much

Manager: How twisted is that.

Myung Soo :(sarcastic) Makes sense to me

Bong Soon:(looking around the counter) We're out of salt

Manager: Go get some in the storeroom

Bong Soon: Have you fixed the light down there.

Manager: (sarcastic) I'm not telling you

Bong Soon:(annoyed) You're such a big baby

Bong Soon goes off to the storeroom

Myung Soo: I'm going to check on her

Manager: You're not allowed there

Myung Soo :She's afraid of the dark,(looking him in the eyes) I'm going

Manager: (scared) Okay superman

Myung Soo  arrives at the storeroom and the light isn't fixed, he follows the sound he's hearing and grabs Bong Soon by the waist  and goes in for a kiss .

As their lips touch Myung Soo quickly moves away

Myung Soo: (confused) When did you start using lip gloss?

Suddenly someone shines a light into the room.Its Bongs Soon,

Bong Soon: I found my phone....

Bong Soon:Ohhh, Mi Nam came with me I was scared but we forgot to bring a flash light or phone so I went back to get one

Mi Nam:(still in shock)OMG

Bong Soon: What's wrong guys what's with the faces

Won Ho: What's wrong,why are you crying

Mi Nam:I'm breaking up with you

Won Ho: (confused) What

Mi Nam:I'm sorry

She breaks free from his grip and runs off

Myung Soo: It didn't mean anything though

Bong Soon: (sceptical) Are you sure

Myung Soo :(reassuring) It was only a mistake ,one which will never happen again.

Bong Soon:(confused)  Why would you kiss someone in the dark

Myung Soo: I thought it's romantic

Bong Soon: (playfully punching him)Well being romantic might make you single

Myung Soo: (holding her hand)I'm sorry

She looks at him for a moment lost in his pure eyes .He looks at her silently pleading.

Bong Soon: I know (she leans in and kisses him)Now stop crying, I should be the one crying.

Myung Soo: I feel bad

Bong Soon:I know but I can't even bare to see you sad.You messed up ,that's that It could've happened  anyone (teasingly) heck you could've kissed the manager too

Myung Soo: (smiling) I love you

Bong Soon: (smiling) I love you too, just don't go around kissing people in the dark.Deal?

Myung Soo:(smiles) Deal

Bong Soon: Okay now I have to go check on Mi Nam, she didn't look well.

Myung Soo: Should I go with you

Bong Soon: I think it's best you stay back.If I were  you I'd  start thinking of how you're going to break it to Won Ho.

Myung Soo: Shoot I almost forgot.

Bong Soon comes back and kisses him once more

Myung Soo: What's this for

Bong Soon: Just in case you die

Myung Soo: He wouldn't,...(scared) Right?

Bong Soon: Who knows
