Chapter 17

POOL

Sulli is nervous…her heart pumping hard. Minho’s words on the stage made her feel overwhelmed. But what does he want to talk about?

Minho dragged Sulli until they reached Minho’s car. Minho’s back is on Sulli and he hasn’t been talking since they left the press con earlier.

“Umm…What do you want to talk about?” asked Sulli

“I don’t know why…but you make me feel all sorts of things. You make me angry…you make me mad…and then you make me feel like you need me…and then you would push me away …” Minho leaned on his car

“I think I must be going crazy.” Said Minho

Sulli is confused. What is Minho trying to say?

“I will sort all of this out soon…but until then…can you just please promise to stay put? Can you promise to follow everything I say and not make me worry anymore?” asked Minho

“You…got worried…of me?” Sulli asked “I thought you were worried on the Album sales and GD’s image….TC is the priority right?”

“I was worried…that you did not appear in my office until 2PM to bring me lunch. I tried calling you several times but you did not pick up. I even asked Security to look for you and found you with GD…I thought something bad has already happened to you…but then I found you enjoying the company of one of the biggest TC artist.” Said Minho

Sulli felt like her heart is slowly being squeezed…Minho…was worried about her…No…she needs to push away any hope that is already starting to rise in her chest. No…she can’t…she can’t entertain the thoughts.

“Thank you…for thinking of me.” said Sulli

Minho pulled Sulli to him and hugged her gently

“If you ever do that again…if I find your arm being held by him again…I will kick him out of TC.” Said Minho

What?! Did she just hear Minho right?

“But that will be too troublesome. So just don’t let another man touch you…” said Minho

“I mean…Kevin needs decent Mom.” Said Minho

Sulli is getting more and more confused… Why is he making her misunderstand his words?!

-------------------

The next day Minho said He’ll go jogging outside. Sulli started to prepare breakfast when somebody pressed the doorbell.

Sulli opened the door to see Sohyun.

“Can I come in?” asked Sohyun

“Yes of course, come right in.” said Sulli

Kevin saw Sohyun and ran towards her

“Noona!!!” greeted Kevin excitedly

Sohyun sat on the sofa

“Where’s Oppa?” asked Sohyun

“He went jogging.” Said Sulli

“I see…He’ll be back soon then. Kid…do you like ice cream?” asked Sohyun

“Yes…I like ice cream, Noona.” Said Kevin

Sohyun opened the bag she brought and revealed ice creams.

“Wow!!! Mommy Noona brought ice cream!” said Kevin

“Wow, Noona is very thoughtful.” Said Sulli

“Thank you Noona.” Said Kevin

“Which flavor do you like?” asked Sohyun

“Chocolate” said Kevin

“I kinda thought you’d choose that, so I bought 2 chocolates. One for you and one for me.” said Sohyun

“Umm…Unnie, which flavor do you like?” asked Sohyun

“Unnie? Is she talking to me?” thought Sulli

“Sulli Unnie…I still have vanilla and pistachio here. Which do you like?” asked Sohyun

Sulli is touched by Sohyun calling her Unnie that she found it hard to speak

“Van…Vanilla. Thank you.” Said Sulli

Minho entered the house then and saw Sohyun.

“Hey…Sohyun, you should’ve called me so that I know you’re coming today.” Said Minho

“That’s ok Oppa. I wanted to surprise people.” Said Sohyun

“Let’s have breakfast, Everyone” called Sulli

“How much free time do you have today?” asked Minho while eating

“Umm…the entire day.” Said Sohyun

“That’s rare.” Said Minho

“Yeah…the debut is in a week. But I think the mentors know we’ll be burnt out if they did not give us a break.” Said Sohyun

“You don’t have office today too Oppa, right?” asked Sohyun

“Yeah. That’s why I’m thinking of bringing everyone to a friend’s resort. It just opened a few weeks ago and he wanted me to come.” Said Minho

“Daddy Ajussi, do they have a pool?” asked Kevin

“Yes. There will be a pool.” Said Minho

“Wow!!!” Kevin looked excited

“I want to come too!” said Sohyun

“Then we should all go together.” Sad Minho

“Yehey!” said Kevin

After eating, Sulli already prepared some things and even prepared some to lend Sohyun.

“Thank you, Unnie.” Said Sohyun

Minho chuckled when he heard ‘Unnie’.

“What?” asked Sohyun

“Nothing…It just sounded like music to my ears.” Said Minho
