Sulli’s eyes widen when she saw the figure that walk in from the huge door.

“Minho?”

“Hi Sulli.”

Minho smiles adoringly at her. He was longing to see her from the past two days.

“You know each other?”

Taemin nudge her arm.

Sulli furrows her eyebrows.

“You are CEO Choi Minho?”

Minho smiles and nods.

Sulli slumps down on the chair which make Taemin hold on to her in surprised.

“Ssul, kenchana?”

Minho too rushed to her with a worried face.

“Sulli, waegurae?”

Taemin open up the lid of the mineral bottle and give it to her but she shakes her head.

“I’m okay. I’m just surprised. I never imagine that you are a CEO.”

She answers in a low tone. She closes her eyes and controls herself.

She then smiles and looks at Taemin.

“We should start the deal now Mr. Lee.”

She stands and turns to Minho.

“Sorry for the fuss CEO. Can we start the deal now?”

Minho shakes his head. He looks at Taemin and smiles a little.

“Can you leave us alone for a while Mr. Lee?”

“Sure.”

He squeezes Sulli’s arm before he walks out of the door and waited outside.

Minho breathes and reached for Sulli’s hand. He holds on to her fingers slightly.

“Sorry.”

He started.

“For startling you.”

He sighs.

“I didn’t mean to hide my background. I just don’t have time to talk it to you.”

Sulli smiles.

“It’s not your fault. I don’t blame you. If you want to hide it from me, you won’t give me your business card right? Sorry to exaggerate it. I’m too nervous actually.”

Minho’s face lit up a smile.

“You sure?”

Sulli nods.

“Won’t you hate me?”

She shakes her head now.

“You do nothing to make me hate you. We are friends after all.”

Minho let out a relief sigh.

“Thank god.”

“So, can we proceed with my proposal?”

Minho nods.

“Let me call your friend in first.”

“Kenchana. I’ll get him.”

Sulli walks to the door with heavy heart. She breathe in and plasters a smile on her face before she open the door.

“Min, let’s go in.”

Taemin reach for her hand; stopping her from going in.

“Are you sure?”

“Deh. Let’s go. We don’t want to lose this deal remember.”

“Ara, but you and him seems.”

“I’ll tell you later Min. Later.”

Taemin sighs and smiles.

“If you say so. Kaja.”

                                                                                              ***

“We will meet you after two days to discuss about the venue and the models. Here is their profile. You may take a look and choose it yourself.”

Minho nods continuously.

“Do you have anything to say CEO?”

Minho shakes his head and smiles brightly.

“I’m fully satisfied. It is perfectly organized. I make the right decision on giving you second chance Mr. Lee.”

Taemin smiles and bows.

“Kamsahamnida CEO.”

Minho smiles and looks at his wristwatch.

“It’s near lunch time; let’s grab a lunch together, to celebrate our successful deal.”

Taemin looks at Sulli.

“Shall we?”

 “We shouldn’t reject a free lunch right? But I really need to go. I’m fetching the girls early today. Why don’t you both go?”

Taemin smiles shyly at Minho.

“Can we?”

Minho smiles.

“Of course. Miss Choi, I’ll call you?”

Sulli nods and bows to him.

“I’ll take my leave first.”

She smiles at them and walks out of the meeting room.

“Shall we Mr. Lee?”

“Deh CEO.”

                                                                                              ***

“Mr. Lee, aren’t you curious on how I know Miss Choi?”

“I’m a bit curious.”

Minho smiles.

“I just came back in Korea when I met her.”

“You mean you are the one she met at the hotel lobby that night?”

Minho nods.

 “Let’s just be comfortable Mr. Lee. Sulli is my friend. Can I treat you like friend too?”

Taemin smiles brightly and nods.

“Sure CEO. I would love to.”

“Just call me Minho. Like Sulli always called me. We can save the formalities at work.”

He smiles again.

Taemin nods.

“I don’t know if Sulli had talk about this to you, but as your best friend, I think you have to know.”

 “I’ve fallen for your friend. I had confessed my feeling to her.”

He paused and smiles while Taemin’s jaw drops on his frankness.

“To love somebody isn't just a strong feeling. It is a decision and a promise. That’s why I want you to know. I also want her to know that I really am serious with her.”

 “But CEO, I mean Minho, you know about her right? Her responsibility is huge. She can’t spend lots of time with you. Her siblings only have her to lean on. They had no parents.”

Minho smiles.

“Arayo.That's why I'm going to be the pillar for her to lean on.”

He smiles and looks at Taemin.

“I’m a lonely person Taemin. I live alone all the time. I’m caged in my house since I’m little. It’s embarrassing for a guy to have this type of living but that is what I’ve been through. My life is totally under my mom’s control.”

Taemin listens carefully to Minho.

“I fall for her the first time I saw her. At first, I don’t know if I love her or it’s just a feeling that I go through because it’s my first time seeing a goddess like her.”

Minho chuckles; so does Taemin.

“I realize that I love her after some time. I like everything about her. Even if I just hear her voice, even if I just can look at her back, I am satisfied.”

“You just know her right? Are you sure about it?”

Minho nods.

“You must find I’m ridiculous right?”

Taemin nods.

“Sorry. I admit that I said to Sulli that you are the one yesterday. But after knowing that you are the person she mentions of, I think I’m going to give it a long thinking.”

“Why?”

“Minho, you are a chaebol, you are way too high from us, from her. I’m afraid that she will go through another heartbreak.”

Minho sighs.

“I understand that clearly Taemin. I know how you feel. I promised to you that I will always stand by her. I’ll protect her.”

Taemin sighs.

“Did Sulli response anything after that?”

“She said that she won’t stop me from loving her anymore.”

“I only hope that she will be happy. I don’t need anything else. Her happiness is my priority. I’ve seen her in her sadness and I don’t want to let it happen again. Sorry but I’ll be strongly stand for her if anything happen because of you.”

Taemin paused and looks at Minho.

“I hope your mom won’t make her suffer. Based on what you told me about her make me feel worry.”

“I’ll take care of her Taemin.”

“Deh. I’ll trust you.”

Minho smiles.

“Thanks.”

He chuckles.

“What’s with the thanks? I’ll hunt you if even a drop of tear falls from her eyes because of you.”

Minho smiles.

“You are a very good friend Taemin.”

Taemin smiles.

“I’ve treated her like a dongsaeng Minho. And no brother wants to see his sister suffer right?”

Minho nods.

“I’ll do my best to win her.”

“I wish you luck.”

He smiles and sips the remaining juice.

“See you when we start working on the project Minho. I’ll take my leave first.”

“Let me send you.”

“It’s okay. I’ll ask my hyung to send me. He is working nearby.”

“Deh. Thanks for everything.”

Taemin smiles and bows before he leaves the café.
