The Tension
From A Tangle '&' to A Knot '♥'SEOYEON's POV:
I stood there watching them looking startled as their eyes set on me.
"Good Morning, sweetcheeks", Yohan's face was quickly replaced by a smile as he greeted me.
"Morning, Sorry Myungsoo gave me the password to your room so I entered without knocking thinking you guys might have been expecting me", I smiled back.
"Yeah, it's okay"
"Someone called", I said as I turned to Myungsoo and hand out the phone. His eyes flickered for a moment as he quickly take it from me, eyes glancing at me again.
"You picked up?"
"No. It died before I did", I half-lied. I felt guilty about it but now that I saw, I didn't want him to know that I did. He'll probably shut me out and I didn't want that to happen.
He nodded.
"Have you eaten?", Yohan asked.
"Yeah. How about you guys?"
"Yeah, we did. Should we go then?", he asked.
I didn't know where but I was already expecting to go somewhere. I glance at Myungsoo as he gave us a nod.
*-*-*
"Guys, umm where are we going?", I asked from the back seat. A chauffer with a black suit was already waiting down for us when we walk out of the hotel. Yohan went to sit in the front as we did yesterday while Myungsoo and I got in the back.
"You haven't told her yet?", Yohan asked and turned to Myungsoo but he just gave a shrug back at him.
"We'll be meeting my dad. Myungsoo has some things to discuss with him", he answered.
I remembered when Myungsoo said about meeting someone yesterday but couldn't. So, that was his dad?
"Oh...", I wanted to to ask further like what he does and such for Myungsoo to come and fly here just to meet him but decided not to and ask it by deviating the question.
"He stays here?", I continued.
"Yeah. He works in the foreign unit of the intelligence agency here."
"Oh..so a detective?", I asked curious. Yohan was a detective too so I'm guessing his interest was same as his father's.
"Yep."
We drive in a large tall white building, their office I assume. After waiting for about a half an hour outside near the reception, one security called us in.
"It's been a while, Myungsoo. Nice to see you again, my boy", a voice came from the inside as we walked in. The office was big and lots of books were kept on the sides by the shelves. I looked up and saw a middle aged man with a uniform on the other side of the table. He came forward and gave swift hug before acknowledging Yohan's presence with a nod.
"Nice to see you too, Uncle. Been busy with lots of things, huh?", I heard Myungsoo say as I stood still watching them interact.
"Yes, yes. Kind of. Come here, have a seat. So, who's this lady who accompanied you today?", he asked as his eyes land on me for the first time I came inside the office. I was sure he looked startled as his eyes flickered for a moment. It seemed like Myungsoo and Yohan noticed it too as they looked back at me confused as I was.
"She's my fiancee, Seoyeon", Myungsoo answered. The man blinked once or twice quickly before looking down and quickly back up with a smile replacing his confused face.
"Oh. I'm so sorry. You looked like someone I knew. I'm Choi Jihan, Yohan's father", he said landing out a hand for a shake. I nodded and shook it with a smile.
"Lee Seoyeon", I said. I heard him mutter 'Lee..' as he turned away from me to look at Myungsoo.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't able to attend the engagement", he stated.
"It's okay, uncle. It isn't any serious. You must be busy so I'll be straight to the point", Myungsoo said. I saw him giving a glance at Yohan as the latter nodded. I was confused first but Yohan stood up and signaled me to follow him.
So, he didn't want us to hear...
I walked out sighing.
"I have a feeling you just came out for me to come out", I said. He chuckled as I glared at him.
"Yeah, right but it's nothing you should take time to know about", he said putting his hands inside his pockets.
"But I came here all the way so why not just let me hear. Why did you guys even bring me here then?"
"Umm...I heard that Myungsoo told you yesterday that he would bring you here if you didn't believe him"
"So he wasn't originally planning on bringing me here?", I asked quizically.
"Uh no. Actually, we were planning on meeting him in the party but he had to go back early and we couldn't get the preferable time to meet him. But we brought you there? No?", he asked wriggling his brows amusingly.
I thought for a while. From the time we reached the hotel until now, I piece up everything this two talked about. And the only thing I could bring up for a conclusion was...
"You guys just drag me with you so that I won't be alone, right? Wait, you guys even said I couldn't stay alone on the first day. What is going on, Yohan? Is some psychopath stalking Myungsoo?"
I saw him widening his eyes a bit. Gotcha, the text, the secret talks, everything...
"Why are so quick to catch up things?", he said frowning.
"What? You want me to be dumb?"
"No, No that but seriously, like how?!", he asked looking really serious making me feel a little guilty.
"I might have stumbled on Myungsoo's phone and...--"
I was cut off as the door opened and Myungsoo came out walking towards us.
"Done?", Yohan asked.
"Yeah. Your dad's calling you in. We'll wait you outside", he said and looked at me.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him, out along the way. He slowed down and tried to walk slower to meet my pace.
"What did you guys talk about?", I asked.
"And I wonder how that is your business?", He asked raising a brow at me.
I sighed and pulled my hands off him.
"I can walk alone" He was taken off guard but I turned and walked away. I felt him walk up quickly to reach my side and glanced at me but I ignored him until we reach the parking lot where the chauffer earlier, was waiting for us.
"I don't see why you're getting mad. It's not like it's anything you are ought to know", he spoke up but I just ignored him. Talking to him wasn't gonna bring me peace, anyway so I just gave up.
After a while of watching the uniformed people walk by, Yohan came out with a frown on his face but soon replace with his cheery self once he saw us. This guy...
"Come on, let's go", he said and got in the car. I followed as well as Myungsoo who came in slowly right after I did. I quickly moved away from him and shifted myself near the window and continued watching the pedestrians. I felt two pairs of eyes on me but I just ignored it.
I heard Yohan cough loudly on purpose, probably to clear out the tension.

I threw my bag on the bed and pull off my sweater. I heard the door close but I didn't look back. I grabbed a towel and walked inside the bathroom.
I was tired with all the long ride, and the water calmed me down from the stressing mood. I just lied down in the tub for a while. I didn't wash my hair since I did yesterday and I knew washing hair everyday wasn't a good thing since my mom told me so.
I dabbed the towel on my body to dry of the wet water droplets. I frowed when I looked at the mirror and saw that my hair were all wet from half down.
...should've pulled it up before I got into the tub.
I started rubbing it off softly with another dry towel and my mind instantly flew back to when Myungsoo dried it for me. His warm hands in between my soft curls, ruling it out side to side, making sure to do it softly so it won't break and leave split ends. I kind of always secretly liked it. I bit my lips unconsciously.
Why am thinking of that jerk again?
I sighed. I shouldn't think good of him. He's just a jerk who like to do things in his own ways. I understand that I was kind of trying to intrude in his stuffs but how about him? I always follow him without questioning anything and he's always mad when I do things my own. He doesn't tell me anything out about him yet he persuades me to tell him everything out, whatever that irritates him.
It's like he holds the upper hand in this stupid fake relationship, just because he was rich and spoilt. And I wasn't just going to
