The Choice
Chunji frowned as he sat up from his bed.
He was having the worst hangover of his life, his head was pounding.
“Who told you to drink so much?” Kai chided from where he was sitting.
“Your butler just let me in, don’t glare at me like that.” He said then he stood up.
“We’re having lunch at the Kims, Minjung noona called.”
Chunji sighed.
“Shower now, Lee Chanhee.”
Hyemi had just gotten of the shower when she noticed her phone’s LED light was blinking.
She opened the text message from an unknown number.
Lunch at our house. Himchan’s picking you up in an hour. –Kim Minjung
Hyemi smiled and shook her head, then she replied.
Then she remembered the necklace on the table.
She took it out from the box with a smile.
“It’s time I wear this.” She mused as she clapsed it around her neck.
“Guests?” Junhee asked as she resurfaced from the water, Himchan nodded from his chair.
The two were at the indoor poolside, having breakfast.
“Wae?”
“It’s that annual lunch unnie holds, just before the party. It’s a good idea.”
“Did you invite Hyemi unnie?” She asked as she grabbed her robe.
“I’ll be picking her up in an hour.”
“Then, on your way there oppa, can you drop me at the university?” She asked as she sat down and bit her toast.
“No.” Himchan smiled at her.
“Oppa~” She whined.
“I know what you’re planning, Kim Junhee.”
“I can drive myself then.” She grumbled.
“I made Butler Jang keep all the keys. Only I can access them.”
“Die, Himchan.”
Hyemi stepped in the house and found Himchan’s older sister smiling at her.
“I’m glad you could make it, Hyemi.” Minjung smiled as she hugged the younger girl. Himchan chuckled.
“Noona, I had to persuade her.”
Minjung smiled, then took Hyemi’s hand.
“Come, the others are here already.”
“Yes, it’s nice to see you again, unnie.” Hyemi smiled, then Minjung turned to her brother.
“Himchan, go get Junhee.”
“You’re here!” Kai grinned as Hyemi stepped in the living room with Minjung and Khun.
“Nice to see you too, sunbae.”
Daehyun looked around.
“Himchan?” He asked.
“He went up to get Junhee.” Minjung replied and walked to the window. Kai and Daehyun immediately turned to Chunji, who was sitting quietly.
Then they heard loud bickering.
“I don’t feel like eating! I’ve been gaining so much weight, oppa.” Junhee whined from behind the doors.
“From all the dancing you do and running around, you think-”
They stopped when they reached the room, Junhee looked away.
Chunji looked up.
“...U-nnie, Jahyung, I ‘ll go check with butler Jang about lunch.” Junhee said.
“I’ll come with you.” Hyemi smiled and walked with her. Then Himchan blinked, he noticed something hanging around her neck.
“You’re..wearing it.” He whispered.
“Of course.” Hyemi smiled back and squeezed his hand before leaving.
