You're not going anywhere, Mademoiselle
Monsieur meets his Mademoiselle
"Next lady?"
"So she's the chosen one of the Empire?"
Yonghwa sighed. He wanted to escape. Now.
"Do you know how many women Yong are meeting?" Jonghyun asked Eryca.
"I don't care about those. He will fall in my bed in the end anyways."
"Eryca, do you like Yonghwa?" Minhyuk asked.
"Yes."
"What a fast answer."
"Yong, do you like her?" Jonghyun asked.
"No."
"What a fast answer too." Jungshin laughed.
"The sad life of being a Jung begins now." Jonghyun said.
"I'll never marry this woman. Ever." Yonghwa drunk in one shot.
Eryca gave a devilish smile.
"I have work tomorrow. I'll leave now." Mademoiselle was bored.
"I'll get you home since I'm the one invited you." Jonghyun said.
"No. I can go home by myself." She declined.
"That's right, Jonghyun. Stop being a good man. That's not you." Jungshin laughed.
"What happen to you and Yong these days? You guys makes me want change my routine also." Minhyuk said.
"Don't you dare to follow me, Jonghyun. You know I don't like these stuffs. I just pleased you, a bit. I'm going now." Mademoiselle got up.
"Okay, Mademoiselle. As you said." Jonghyun smiled.
"I'll just talk to Mademoiselle outside because we have work tomorrow." Yonghwa said.
Eryca held his hand. "Don't follow her."
"Who are you to hold my hand?" Yonghwa breaks off his hand.
"Yonghwa!" She shouted.
Yonghwa left her and the remaining boys.
"Why didn't you stop the two meeting each other outside??" Eryca asked Jonghyun.
"Why shouldn't I? He told me its about work."
"Let's go boys. We have many more to do." Minhyuk smiled.
No Yonghwa they can still proceed with their convo with their other people on the bar.
"Shinhye." Yonghwa called.
Shinhye sighed. "I said don't call me Shinhye. I'm Mademoiselle now."
"I called you Shinhye because that's the only thing I need for you to glance at your back. Glance at me."
"You think so?" She smiled.
"Of course. I know you."
Shinhye just smiled. "So why you followed me here? Eryca will be so mad at me again."
"You're concern about her?"
"Not really, for now. But she's a mess and she's rich. She might backfire me real hard if you keep insisting."
"She'll not. I'm here."
"Even if. You can save your self but not me. And I'm not considering your help also."
"I don't care if you don't consider me helping you. I don't care but I'll just keep doing my things."
"As expected from you."
"And I'll drive you home tonight." He said.
"I'll consider that because my cafe wasn't open and no bus here."
"I'm glad you accepted it." He opened the door for her.
At the car.
"Why Mademoiselle Cafe wasn't open?"
"Hayeon took leave because she's studying. It's almost finals. And Hongki wasn't paying attention because he's in-"She stopped, Hongki was in orphanage. She can't just blurt it out.
"He's in some computer shop playing LoL." She lied.
"You're all alone. Just like me." He blurted.
"Alone? I'm not."
"That's the difference between you and me. You, there's seldom people but a least they care. But me, I have millions of people know my name but nobody cared."
"What a baby." She laughed.
"I'm in the midst of opening up. But as always, you cut me like the hopeless one."
"Because I don't understand you."
"You don't? After all this time?"
She laughed again. "Because at first, when I met you, you sounded like the king of the world but now I wonder where that Jerk CEO has gone. He's slowly turning into a pauper."
"That's the real me."
"So who are you at this point? What are you?" She looked at him.
Yonghwa didn't respond.
Shinhye just directly looked on the road.
Slowly, Yonghwa pulled the brake. Slowly.
"Shinhye...
Lee Shinhye?" He guessed.
Shinhye laughed. "Seriously."
"C'mon. I don't know you. I just knew your name."
She smirked. "You know my where my home is, you know my cafe, you know Shinhye. How can you say you don't know me?"
"Kim Shinhye?"
She laughed harder.
"Shinhye. Please. Why don't you just tell me?"
"If I spill it there's no fun." She smiled.
"Jung Shinhye? Kang Shinhye? Park Shinhye?" He asked very fast.
Shinhye eyes widened.
"I got it??"He laughed.
He was answered by her sweet smile. "Was it Park Shinhye?"
No response.
"At last Park Shinhye." He tapped the gear.
"Ok. So what's the point of knowing that? Seems that you won the lottery."
"It matters to me."
"Why?"
"I'll tell later."
"Later?"
Yonghwa started the engine.
Shinhye wiggled her head and sighed.

"Shinhye."
"Thanks for the ride, CEO Jung." Shinhye got off on his car.
"Not curious?"
"About what?" She asked.
"I said a while ago I'll tell it later. Now is that later." His tune a bit demanding.
She rested her hand on her waist. "So, what is that?"
"Are you teasing me? Aren't you serious?"
"I'm never serious when I'm with you, honestly speaking." She giggled.
"Why? You know I'm such a good man in front of you."
"More of a dummy man actually."
"Walk now. Go home." He blurted.
"Not gonna tell me anymore?"
"Lost my sense already, thanks to you." He timidly said.
"Geez. Okay." She tapped his shoulder.

Two in the dawn.
Still Yonghwa, leaned on his car.
He's been hours there, thinking.
He actually told himself to say what he wanted to say.
The things he wanted to say but not sure what were meant.
In the end, still, he needs some assurance to Mademoiselle if he'll doing what is right.
Whether he is right or he's just in some dream.
"Mademoiselle.."
He started to walk fast until he found himself in front of her door.
While Shinhye is busy cleaning her unit, a sudden ring of doorbell shocked her...
She saw who's behind her door. She sighed.
"What are you doing here!?? Don't know you know you're bothering someone's chores?" She shouted as she opened the door.
Shinhye shouted because it's so late. Even she knew that Yonghwa can pull up anything, especially these kind of things.
Yonghwa smirked and looked at her from head to toe.
Shinhye looked at her body too. "Aisssh.." She blurted. She was wearing a white and blue stripped oversize shirt. Just that.
Yonghwa wrapped his hands to her waist. "I think you're wearing that on purpose."
"Dream on. Can just please get out of my sight? You're not even welcome here." She said strongly.
Yonghwa held her more tight. "You're not going anywhere, Mademoiselle.."
