Chapter 35

Third Time Lucky? [EDITING]

They had returned back to Ji Hoo’s house by 5 in the evening and after an hour’s rest, again started getting ready for the dinner.

Mandy had picked up the already wrapped gifts, from her apartment and had kept them in the boot of Ji Hoo’s car so that she wouldn’t need to carry them back and forth.

At seven, Ji Hoo and Mandy started for Yi Jung’s house. They were the first to arrive.

 

“Unnie!” Ga Eul greeted Mandy with a hug “How are you now?” she asked pressing a hand on Mandy’s forehead

“I’m fine now, but Ga Eul, you didn’t tell me that Yi Jung and you moved in a new home. I thought you moved in the So Mansion. Ji Hoo told me on the ride here that Yi Jung bought this house for you two.”

“It doesn’t matter, unnie. I’m just happy to spend time with him.” Ga Eul said

“Are you pregnant?” Mandy whispered to her as she dragged Ga Eul a little away from the Yi Jung and Ji Hoo.

“Aniyo! What are you talking about unnie?”

“Good, because I don’t want to become an aunt to a kid whose mom is younger than me, makes me feel like a spinster” Mandy joked

 

“What are you two talking about?” Yi Jung came over

“Nothing, just girl talk” Mandy said and turned to Yi Jung fully

“I’m sorry I didn’t even meet you properly and started talking to Ga Eul” she said as she hugged him.

“It’s okay; how is your health now?” Yi Jung asked

“I’m okay now” she replied

 

After another 15 minutes Jan Di and Jun Pyo arrived and 10 minutes after that Woo Bin also came.

“Bhai!” Mandy greeted him with a hug as he entered the living area where they all were seated

“How are you now?” Woo Bin asked. He was the 5th person to ask her that.

“I’m fine; you all don’t need to worry. I am still stronger in my fever than you all combined.”

“Yeah and you proved that this morning” Ji Hoo commented

“What do you mean?” Yi Jung asked

 

“I woke up this morning at six at the sound of bells coming from my living room. Turns out this crazy girl got up at three in the night to decorate my house and also add a Christmas tree to it. And your men were her partners in crime” he addressed the last sentence to Woo Bin

“What?!” he said and then looked at Mandy for confirmation “is this true?”

Mandy weakly nodded “But they were only helping me and doing what I said. And if they hadn’t helped me, I would’ve done all the things on my own. So, you should be thankful to them” but she soon saw how agitated Woo Bin was

“Please don’t fire them” She pleaded with the best puppy dog eyes she could make

 

Woo Bin melted “I’m only worried about you dongsaeng-ah. Don’t stress yourself. And stop corrupting them; because I didn’t get a report on any of this.”

“My bribing system is working then huh?”

“What are you bribing them with?” Jun Pyo asked suspiciously

“Dal” she said and laughed out loud

“More like the witch’s concoction” Woo Bin started “Now I know why everyone is so mesmerized by you. How many guys did you feed?”

“Just a little above 100” Mandy said weakly

“A hundred?!” everyone shouted in unison

“Not all on one day, just 15 every Sunday”

“Are you mad?” Ji Hoo asked “Of course you were gonna fall sick because of the exhaustion.”

 

“It’s okay now; don’t worry.” She said

“Why did you do that?” Woo Bin asked

“Just felt like it.” She said shrugging her shoulders “Come on, let’s open gifts now” Mandy tried to change the subject

 

“You know they call you noonim now” Woo Bin said

“I know” Mandy said as she handed him his gift

“Can I open it?” Jun Pyo asked as she handed him his packet

“Of course” Mandy said and patted him on the head

Jun Pyo eagerly tore open his parcel and displayed everyone his customized sweater, with his face drawn in the front.

“What did you get others?” he asked

“The same, with their faces” Mandy said as she gave Ji Hoo his gift

Everyone got curious about their sweaters too and all the guys opened up their packages.

“But why are they in different colors?” Yi Jung asked as he put up his orange sweater in front of his body.

“They are according to the color of your cars. Jun Pyo gets red; you get orange; Bhai gets yellow and Ji Hoo gets white.” She explained

 

“Oh unnie, these are so cute; did you get us these sweaters too?” Ga Eul asked

“No, they don’t have homely things so I got them homely gifts. But you two don’t have these” Mandy said as she handed Ga Eul and Jan Di two small rectangular boxes

“What is it unnie?” Jan Di asked as she rattled the box to guess what was inside

“Check it yourself” Mandy said

 

Ga Eul and Jan Di opened their boxes together and looked at each other after they got a peep inside.

“Unnie, this is too much, we cannot accept this” Jan Di and Ga Eul said

“What is it?” Woo Bin asked

Ga Eul pulled out a beautiful silver string that was embedded with gem stones.

“Why are you saying this? I got these specially made for you two” Mandy moaned like a kid

“Unnie this is too much” Ga Eul insisted

“I know you two would freak out if it was too expensive, so I cut the costs wherever I could. The metal is sterling silver instead of platinum and the gems are semi-precious. I didn’t even cost me half as much as it would’ve cost originally.”

“You promise you didn’t spend too much on it?” Jan Di asked unsurely

“I promise; now wear it, there is only one other of these in this world so you better not refuse it.”

“Who has the other one?” Yi Jung asked

“Niya” Mandy said as she strapped the bracelets onto the girls’ wrists

“It’s really pretty unnie” Jan Di said

 

“But Mandy” Jun Pyo spoke up “Where did you find these sweaters?” admiring his own as he wore it over his shirt

“I had them custom made for you all; these are one of a kind. I had them specially hand woven to your sizes by a craftsmen in Delhi”

“There is only one of a kind?” Jun Pyo asked unbelievably

“Yes, only one; so you better take good care of it” Mandy said

 

“What’s this?” Yi Jung said holding another rectangular box but of different shape.

“That’s actually a gift of the occasion of Ga Eul moving in with you, but I think you can now categorize it as a housewarming gift, since you bought a new house and all.”

Yi Jung tore the wrapper on this too and retrieved a letter which was placed on top of the box and started reading it.

“What does it say?” Woo Bin asked but Yi Jung just passed him the piece of paper and smirked as he peeked inside the box

“What is it?” Jun Pyo asked impatiently

“Condoms” Mandy said

“Unnie!” Ga Eul said

“What! I don’t want you getting pregnant so soon, is that a bad thing?” Mandy said defensively

“Thank god you didn’t make such a spectacle of my wedding gift” Jan Di murmured but Mandy heard it

“Did you use your wedding gift?” Mandy asked Jan Di

“Did you give Jan Di the same thing?” Jun Pyo asked

“Aniyo!” Jan Di protested blushing heavily

“Then what was it?” Ji Hoo asked

“It’s a secret” Jan Di said shyly

“Yeah, Victoria’s Secret” Mandy said and everyone laughed out loud
