Chapter 18 - The henchman

Hyun Bin tries milking some information out of Summer but she pretty much is an airhead who is  not much help.

He manages to atleast get the name of the restaurant Hae Won aka Park Yeona  uses and ambushes her as she's  about to have her lunch

Hyun Bin: (fake smiling) Funny seeing you here

Hae Won: I come here everyday

Hyun Bin: So do I,...(sarcastic) its a wonder how we've never ran into each other

Hae Won: (in mind)This can't be the same Hyun Bin I knew ,he was way cooler than this joke of a man

Hyun Bin sits by her table

Hae Won: Who said you can sit over there

Hyun Bin: (fake smiling) I did

Hae Won: Psssh

Hyun Bin :(serious) You know why I'm here so let's cut this crap okay I don't have all day.

Hae Won :(in mind)Now this is the real Hyun Bin. (outloud)Is this how you speak with someone you want to do business with

Hyun Bin :(smiling) Well I like showing my true colours at the very beginning so I don't disappoint anyone in the end

Hae Won :(fake smiling) I see...well you're too late

Hyun Bin:Who got the shares?

Hae Won: That's confidential

Hyun Bin:(annoyed)  Is it Sung-jin?

Hae Won : I said it's confidential

Hyun Bin :Okay then Miss....Park.I won't waste anymore of your time

He exits the restaurant  pissed.

Hyun Bin: I don't care if Sung-jin takes the shares ,I just wanted to see her upclose.

...

Hae Won: (talking to herself) I'm sorry Hyun Bin, but you're  not the catch I want.

MEANWHILE ...at Mr Lees company

Mr Lee: How did it go

Sung-jin:I didn't get a chance to talk with her,she was busy having a meeting with an old friend of yours

Mr Lee: (curious) Who?

Sung-jin: Mr Jung

Mr Lee: What is he doing here,didn't he run off to some country

Sung-jin: Well he's back in Korea .

Mr Lee:Mmmm,we need to keep an eye on him.I hope he didn't lie to me for his sake.

Sung-jin: Will do sir ,I also doubt he was just paying her a visit.

Mr Lee:Wait why do you keep on saying her,aren't we talking about the chairman

Sung-jin: The chairman is a girl

Mr Lee: No my informant said it's a man

Sung-jin :Well her father is the chairman but she practically runs the show so she's the acting chairman. She has all the power.

Mr Lee:(intrigued)  Now how don't I know about that.(happy)It should be easier for you to strike a deal with a woman,...(clenching Sung-jin's shoulder) I'd hate it if Hyun Bin won over you

Sung-jin:(removing the hand) I'll do my best,sir

Mr Lee :I know you will,(fake smiling) you never disappoint

Sung-jin: (annoyed) Okay sir, I'll get going

Mr Lee: Wait,quick question...Is she pretty?

Sung-jin: Yes

Mr Lee :Rate her out of 10

Sung-jin: Well she's a 5 with make up and a 10 without .

Mr Lee:What's her name

Sung-jin: Yeona

Mr Lee:(excited)  Interesting....(laughing)dont worry I won't take this one from you.You can go now

Sung-jin :Thank you sir

He exits the office

Sung-jin: (disgusted) What a pig.

He goes off to wait for Yeona to leave work and approaches her as she's exiting the building with both her guards.

Sung-jin:I need to talk with you.

Hae Won: Its 6pm,I need to go home

Sung-jin: I won't take long

Hae Won: I'm getting late for supper

Sung-jin :I can take you to a restaurant

Hae Won :I prefer home cooked meals

Sung-jin: I can go home with you

Hae Won: I'm sorry but not just anyone  can come to my house or else it won't be much of a secret and any creep can show up at my door.

Sung-jin:No need to overreact,come to my place then I'll make you a meal.

Hae Won :What do you say boys

Body guard#1:Its too risky

Hae Won: You heard that

Sung-jin: I'm begging you

Hae Won: Mmm going to a strangers house at night,(sarcastic)  what could go wrong...okay then .We'll follow you there

Sung-jin who is surprised they even accept leads the way to his apartment, which is in a dingy neighborhood  .His apartment isn't all that too

Hae Won: So this is where you live?

Sung-jin: (annoyed) Got a problem with it?

Hae Won: No ,I've lived in worse places

Sung-jin: Weren't born with a silver spoon

Hae Won: Maybe in this lifetime, in my past life I was just another poor girl.(in her mind)Just a poor girl living off a scholarship.

Sung-jin: I thought we don't remember what happened in our past lives

Hae Won: Yeah we don't...i just imagine that's how it was.

Sung-jin:(not moved) Okay then...make yourself comfortable I'll make the meal

Hae Won: Make enough for my guards too

Sung-jin:(meh) Okay

He goes and soon after he comes back with a pot of ramen and his bowl.

Hae Won: (surprised) Is this the meal

Sung-jin: (annoyed )Got a problem with it?

Hae Won :No

Sung-jin: Good then dig in

The guards are called in and they all sit around that pot and start eating whilst Hae Won just stares at them.

Sung-jin:Got a problem with it?

Hae Won: No but don't we get separate bowls like you

Sung-jin: No  ,(sarcastic) I can't just be giving my precious bowls to just about anyone. Who knows maybe one of you creeps might break one.

Hae Won: (chuckles) The nerve

The guards don't even feel offended and keep eating

Sung-jin: I'm sorry but this is all I know how to make

Guard 1:It's okay, me too

Hae Won: How can you guys be so unskilled. Cooking is not rocket science

Guard 2:When you live alone all you need is a warm meal and beer.Doesn't have to be fancy or anything.

Sung-jin:Took the words right out of my mouth.

Hae Won: So ....,you want to do business with me .You stalk me at my work place,promise dinner and give me ramen in a dingy apartment and think I'll take your offer.

Sung-jin:(meh) I'll pay double of whatever the highest bidder is offering.

Hae Won :Do you even have that much money

Sung-jin: I don't need to have it ,I just need you to agree that these shares will be mine and my boss will pay for it.

Hae Won :So you're just a middle man

Sung-jin :Yes

Hae Won: If your boss is that rich ,How come he doesn't pay you enough to live in a decent place.

Sung-jin: Do you know what work I do for him.

Hae Won: No ,what do you do .

Sung-jin:(serious)  I'm his henchman.
