Chapter 22

Opponent’s move

Sulli went back to Seoul. Her head is still throbbing from crying too much last night.

“That was THE BEST article ever. And Minho’s photos were the bomb! That was great work!” said Kangta laughing

Sulli is nodding…indeed…it’s once of her best work…and with the photos…it’s just…sensational.

“We’ve been getting a lot of questions and we are on FIRE!” said Kangta

That’s good…that’s exactly what Boss Kangta is expecting. He looks really like a happy and satisfied Boss.

“Hmmm where’s Minho? His flight was supposed to be lsat night too right? You did not come back together?” asked Kangta

“No…he met some friends in Busan.” Said Sulli

The door opened and Minho went in.

“Minho…You ddin’t take the same flight with Sulli last night?” said Kangta

“I…took the later flight.” Said Minho

Hmmm…what happened? There seems to be a very cold and awkward atmosphere between his 2 best people….

“I don’t know what’s going on…but sort it out.” Said Kangta “It’s a waste if the 2 of you can’t work well together just because of some…personal issues.”

Kangta doesn’t want to get too involved.

Kangta left the his office.

Sulli stood up.

“I tried to catch up with you. But you took the earlier flight than what we’re supposed to take.” Said Minho

“I can’t wait to leave Busan.” Said Sulli

Sulli left the room.

Minho massaged his head. He didn’t get sleep…and all the while…he’s been in pain…there was no single second when his heart was a t ease…

Sulli

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

Sulli went out of Kangta’s office and bumped into someone.

“Sorry.” said Sulli

“I’m glad you’re back safe.” Said the man

Sulli looked up and saw Chansung

“Hi…Sir.” Said Sulli

“I’m no longer your Boss. Just call me Chansung.” Said Chansung

“Oh…yeah…” said Sulli

Sulli felt the door of Kangta’s room opening. Minho…

Sulli  needs to go away…she can’t stand being near him.

“I need to get going.” Said Sulli

“For lunch?” asked Chansung

“Yeah.” Said Sulli

“Can I come with you?” asked Chansung

Minho stopped walking..the sight of the  2 talking is enough to make him grit his teeth…but hearing that question is just too much!

“You…want to have lunch with me? But you’re no longer my Boss. There is no need to have a lunch meeting.” Said Sulli

“If it’s not yet clear to you…them let me make it clear.” Said Chansung “I like you Sulli and I want to spend time with you.”

Sulli is in a tight situation…Chansung openly confessing to her…and Minho just a few steps away.

Why not?

She has to move on from the scar of the past…she has to leave everything behind.

“If you’re not comfortable it’s-“ said Chansung

“No…It’s fine. I think having lunch together is fine.” Said Sulli “Let’s go.”

Chansung smiled. This is his lucky day.

Minho closed his eyes…he needs to control himself…he needs to control the anger and emotion he’s feeling inside…

He doesn’t have the right to stop Sulli…After all the pain he caused her…but…but how can he survive her drifting way from him more and more…

Sulli and Chansung walked away.

Minho stayed where he was standing...he was just there…Can’t move. Can’t think.

“The statue act does not suit you.” Said Lee Joon

Minho turned around and saw Lee Joon.

“What are you doing here?” asked Minho

“I came here…to see you.” Said Lee Joon “I…messed up big time.”

“Let’s have lunch together. Hara will be there.” Said Lee Joon

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

Hara is in a hurry. Lee Joon went to Seoul and he’s inviting her for lunch with Minho.

Hara saw Suzy entering the exhibit hall with L. The lovebirds. Always together….oh well.

Hara walked on but heard the conversation which froze her feet.

“I have decided on my next move against Minho.” Said L

“Next move?” asked Suzy

Of course Suzy doesn’t know L used her indirectly against Sulli and Minho.

Until now…from what L heard from Hara…it seems Sulli finding out the truth had hurt Sulli too much…and it’s making Minho not function well.

That guy still had feelings for Sulli even after 7 years.

What’s the best way to hit him? By hitting him in his weakenss right?
