“Will you join me for lunch Miss Choi?”

She scrolls the message and put her phone on her table.

She saw it vibrates a few times but she doesn’t even care to check if it was important.

She is sick of it by now.

His frequent messages and calls as if he has nothing to do.

A knock on her door makes her look at the door and her best friend walks in, a paper bag in her hand.

“Let’s have lunch. I brought some cheese tarts.”

“Would love to. I’m starving and nearly puke at these.”

She said as she signalling the files on her table.

“Do that later. Eat so that you can gain energy.”

“Where?”

She asks, knows that Naeun want to eat out of her office since she puts on her coat.

She smiles instead of saying anything so Sulli rolls her eyes and grabs her coat, leaving the phone behind.

“I won’t be around next two days so eat well okay.”

Naeun said as she eats after they settle down under a tree at the park near their office.

“Why?”

“I have to visit the family, it’s halmeoni memorial day.”

She said with a roll of her eyes.

“Ahh right. You told me last week.”

“I know you won’t remember that, so I just say it again.”

Naeun laughs after she said that and Sulli smiled.

“Sorry.”

“Loosen up a bit okay. You are now a slave of your job. It’s scary.”

“I’m not. It just that the work doubled after senior left.”

“Oh right! There will be a replacement.”

“Chinca? Thank God. Where is the person from?”

“I can’t recall. He works for a company abroad but I can’t remember which country it was.”

“It’s a guy?”

“Yes Ssul. Maybe your Mr. Right is on his way.”

“Oh stop it Naeun. He might be an ahjussi with kids in elementary school.”

“Aniyo. He is 29 and single. The right age.”

Sulli just shakes her head and asked Naeun to eat.

She pouts but did eat them anyway, still talking about the new employee that will work with Sulli.

“Nice meeting you. I’m Choi Minho.”

He said as he met Sulli, the lass just smile a bit, shaking his hand.

“Choi Sulli.”

“Oh. Our surname is the same.”

She just raises her shoulder and he left her hand, placing them on his side.

“We’ll work together so I hope we’ll get well together.”

“Sure. You know where you room is?”

“Yes. I was brought there and tour around the office after I arrived.”

“So, see you again.”

She said and walks to her room.

He shakes his head, smiling at her unique character.

“It’s going to be interesting working here.”

He said, turning around and went to his room.

***

It’s been two months and Minho quickly adapt to the environment and people in this company; well except for Sulli.

She doesn’t hang out with him even during lunch so he thanked God that Naeun at least wants to befriend with him.

It seem selfish but Naeun is the only person who can bring him closer to Sulli.

He comes to know that she and Sulli are best friends.

“I talked too much right?”

She said after she briefs him about the planning.

He laughs.

“It’s fine. I always wanted to have a younger sister. And you seems like a cute one.”

“Am I? So can I call you oppa?”

“Oh I’m flattered if you did.”

“I’m your sister from now on then. Call me Naeun without burden okay.”

“Gurae Naeun ah.”

“So oppa, will you join us for lunch later?”

“Us?”

She nods, grinning.

“I’ll drag Sulli so that she will join us. I know about your crush. Don’t think that you are making use of me to get her. I’ll gladly be one.”

She winked and gathered her files.

“Don’t be late!”

She shouts as she walks out, Minho rubs his nape and grins.

“So I’m obvious huh?”

***

“You said we are having lunch together.”

“Yes. We are.”

She said as she smiled cheekily.

“But I suddenly got a call from my boss and he needs the report very quickly. So, I’ll take your car, oppa, take Sulli with you neh. Bye.”

“Naeun.”

Sulli groans but the lady had run off.

“We could just have lunch don’t we?”

“Okay.”

Sulli said and Minho calls for the waiter, for the first time after two months, he finally can sit alone with Sulli; out of working.”

“I’m sorry.
