Somin’s jaw fell to the floor. Atfirst it was just Haera but now her brother too! And this guy,Jihoo, looks like he loathes her! His cold hatred filled eyes scared her.

“Ah Somin-ah” Haera came forward dragging Hyunjoong--her evil smile was back. “So you’ve met my hyung?” she pointed to Jihoo

“Yes I just introduced myself sis” Jihoo smirked. Somin nodded hesitantly

“Looks like you two are getting along pretty well already” Hyunjoong said “Somin now with Jihoo here it’ll be easier for you—you two can share your work”

“Oh we surely will soon-to-be-brother-in-law! I’ll make sure Somin doesn’t have much of a hard time”

“So sweet of you hyung” Haera brushed his brother’s hair “Khaja Hyunjoong-ah”

“Aa-h..” Hyunjoong was planning to talk to Somin but Haera dragged him away “Catch you later angel AD” Hyunjoong managed to say as Haera dragged him away

“So should we get on with the updates?” Somin asked fear evident in her voice.Jihoo turned to Somin and raised an eyebrow. “Wait a second” Jihoo got up and when he came back he had a huge folder in his hand. When he arrived infront of her he looked around to make sure none was looking and then he threw the heavy folder at Somin

“OUCH!” Somin cried as the folder hit her face which dragged people’s attention towards them including Dong Sun,Jessica and Hyunjoong’s

“Oh Somin sunbae jisohmhida” Jihoo instantly faked an apologetic face. “Are you okay?”. He cupped her face and leant forward—Somin was confused. But Jihoo moved his thumb sneakingly towards her eye where the bruise was and pressed it,hard.Somin couldn’t shout as he had cupped her face so firmly that she couldn’t move her lips. He slowly whispered in her ear “Don’t dare to shout again witch AD”

He then got up and Somin was left dumbfounded and speechless.Dong Sun approached them followed by Jessica.

“You okay Somin-sshi?” he asked with deep concern. “What happened here?” he turned to Jihoo

“Nothing Dong Sun-nim. I handed her the folder of scripts but she couldn’t handle it and hurt herself.” Jihoo lied coolly.”Looks like Somin sunbae is still pretty weak from the flu" he turned to somin "I think she should go home and take more rest”

Somin was surprised. “Such a chameleon!” she thought

“Will you be alright Somin-sshi…if not you should go and rest some more.” Dong Sun said

“Ani. Ani. Ani!” Somin fervently shook her head. “I’ll be fine. Don’t worry”

“You sure?”

“De!”

Dong Sun patted her shoulder.Jessica followed too and mouthed ‘take care’ to which Somin nodded.Hyunjoong appeared right after Dong Sun and Jessica left.

“Kinchana?” He asked caressing the bruise.

“De.”

“You need anything?”

“I will be fine Hyunjoong-ah. You go to your shooting… I have to go through all these scripts” Somin blew him off. It took a lot of determination for her to do that cause at that moment she wanted to cry in his arms, complain about how cruelly Jihoo is treating her—but she couldn’t.

Hyunjoong wanted to stay but when Somin refused he had to comply. So he got up and turned to Jihoo

“Don’t be too tough on her” he instructed him sternly

Jihoo kept true to his promise throughout the remaining day. He kept on creating problems for Somin. When Somin finally finished reading all the scripts she started to observe the shoot but she still couldn’t get what was happening. It was later found out 2-3 pages were missing from the script folder Jihoo gave her.

“Somin sunbae mianhe but you should have checked the page numbers na?” Jihoo lied—he did that intentionally

None was doubting Jihoo even not Dong Sun and Jessica and felt Somin was being absent-minded

“Somin-sshi I know you’ve gone through a lot.” Dong Sun explained to her at the end of shoot.”But you cant let that effect your work. If this goes on, it’ll hurt me a lot but I have to get you off the team and take Jihoo officially as my AD”

Somin got frightened. “Jisohmhida Dong Sun-nim. I wont let you complain again”

“Good” Dong Sun smiled slightly. Somin took her leave and went out. She packed her things and was about to get out when Hyunjoong called out to her.

“Yo! Cute AD wait up!” he ran to her. “Going home are we?” he asked panting,when he reached her.

“De” Somin nodded

“Come I’ll drop you” Hyunjoong signalled her to his car. Just as she was about to go, Haera came and wrapped her arms around Hyunjoong’s. “Hey baby” Haera pecked on his lips showing off.

“I-I was asking Somin to join us.” Hyunjoong stammered recovering from the sudden kiss.” We can all grab a bite and then I’ll drop you two…just like old times”

“No need brother-in-law!” Jihoo appeared suddenly and flung his arms around Somin “You two go along I’ll take her home”

“But—“ Hyunjoong tried to protest but Haera cut him off

“Let the 2 ADs bond Hyunjoong! You two go ahead. We don’t wish to crash your party” she said smirking

“and we don’t want to crash yours” Jihoo grinned

“You know what?” Somin finally spoke. She grabbed Jihoo's arm from her shoulder and firmly shoved it to his side—which took both Haera and Jihoo by surprise. Somin moved aside abit and stood facing both parties. “Thanks for offering to take me. But I have already told Dong Sun-nim and Jessica unnie I’ll go with them”

Dong Sun and Jessica came out just as she spoke. They looked at each other in confusion as they had no word like that but immediately understood that Somin was following Granny’s rule of avoiding hyunjoong. Jessica quickly moved forward and grabbed Somin’s shoulders which surprised Somin

“That’s right Somin’s going with us.” Jessica announced happily

“ Somin-sshi you ready to go?” dong Sun asked

“De” Somin bowed and they left.

Once inside the car Jessica cried “OMO! Granny’s plan is working isn’t it?”

“De” Somin agreed in a low tone while Jessica clapped her hands

“Hows Jihoo? Is he treating you nicely?” Dong Sun asked

Somin wanted to tell him everything—how cruelly he was treating her but she decided not to

“Mmm” she nodded slightly

“Ah good. You know he’s very efficient! When you were not around he helped me out a lot. I’m glad you two are working out fine” Dong Sun beamed

“And he seems to like you too “ Jessica smirked “the way he held your face when you got hurt I saw some sparks fly” Jessica winked

“Gosh! Jess! Do you only see love all over” Dong snapped at her. They started their loving quarrel.

Somin looked out of the window and gave a silent sarcastic chuckle.

“Jessica unnie if you only knew…those weren’t romantic sparks.They were angry glares” Somin sighed and closed her eyes while Dong Sun and Jessica continued their cute bickering in the front seats.
