Chapter 15

#FRIEND-ZONE

"Yuri-ssi" Mr Lee greeted Yuri, as she stepped into the office 

"Where's Jaejoong-ssi?" Yuri asked 

"I couldn't find him. But I think it's best we leave him alone first." Mr Lee said 

"Okay. Uh, I have some errands to run, so I'll be leaving the office." Yuri said 

"Alright. Just continue doing what you have to do" Mr Lee said as he entered the office. 

Yuri then went to her table, grabbed her bag and coat and walked out of the office. She didn't had any errands. But she wanted to find Jaejoong. She then ask Mr Song for a favor. Yuri was brought by Mr Song to where Jaejoong's favorite place was. Yuri then saw Jaejoong sitting just staring blankly. Still holding onto the flowers that Yuri bought. 

"Go ahead and talk to him." Mr Song said who was behind Yuri 

"Alright." Yuri said as she walked towards Jaejoong 

"I actually used to come here when I was younger, when we had a complete family." Yuri said

"Oh." Jaejoong who was surprised to see Yuri 

"I have a love-hate relationship with this place actually." Yuri sat next to Jaejoong

"Why?" Jaejoong looked at Yuri.

"This place bonded us as a family. It's also here where my parents fought and told us they were getting a divorce." Yuri said 

"I'm sorry." Jaejoong said as he looked away. 

"It's fine, but you okay?" Yuri said as she passed a cup of tea to Jaejoong. 

"Yeah I think." Jaejoong who was surprised that Yuri managed to find him. 

"I'm sorry if I made you mad, I was just following orders, I didn't meant to make you upset." Yuri apologized 

"I should be the one to apologize for ranting my anger and loss to you." Jaejoong shook his head 

"No it's okay. Just remember, if you want to talk, I'm here for you." Yuri said 

"Thanks. But no thanks." Jaejoong said 

"No seriously, I'm you're assistant and you're paying me. So I have to be there for you." Yuri joked 

"Haha. Very funny. Anyway, let's go back to the office" Jaejoong said 

"Wait, before we leave, can we eat the spicy rice cake. I've been craving for it" Yuri whined 

"You just ate it like yesterday?" Jaejoong said 

"But....Yah  I left early for lunch because of you. Whatever, I'm going with Mr Song." Yuri scolded 

"You wanna go on a date with Mr Song, sure." Jaejoong said 

"He's a way better man than you. See you in the office later. Goodbye." Yuri said as she formally greeted Jaejoong 

Yuri then asked Mr Song for lunch, who didn't decline and went into the food place with her. They were talking, when suddenly Jaejoong came from behind and sat beside them.

"Ahjumma, one more serving of the spicy rice cake." Jaejoong ordered 

"So...what's so funny?" Jaejoong asked 

"Mr Song is setting me up with someone." Yuri said as she smiled to herself

"Sure someone like Mr Song's age." Jaejoong laughed 

"Does this look like he's the same age as me?" Mr Song said as he showed the picture of the guy to Jaejoong

"That's Mr Song nephew. So good looking." Yuri teased 

"I thought she'll be free to meet him on a weekend." Mr Song said 

"No, she's busy. She has lots of work to do, in the office. She can't." Jaejoong said 

"Eh? Oh, I'm not working on a weekend." Yuri said 

"Then I'll give you his number, you can call him." Mr Song said as Yuri was about to type in the number, when Jaejoong grabbed the phone out of Yuri's hand 

“This phone is purely for business. Don’t go add random numbers in this phone.” Jaejoong said as he held onto Yuri’s phone

“Can I have my phone back?” Yuri asked

“No.” Jaejoong said

“Fine. Then I’ll write it down, what’s his number.” Yuri said as she grabbed a piece of tissue.

“Aish, the table is so dirty.” Jaejoong snatched the tissue that Yuri was writing the number on, and wiped the table

“Aish... how annoying. Just tell me later. Or tomorrow morning, when he’s not there.” Yuri said as she and Mr Song laughed

“The food’s here.” The lady came with the food and placed it on the table. 

“Thank You for the food.” They thanked the lady 

“Enjoy your meal.” The lady said as she walked away 

They ate lunch and once they’re done. Yuri and Mr Song stood up.

“Where are you guys going?” Jaejoong asked

“Back to the office. I’m actually working right now” Yuri sarcastically said as she looked at her watch

“I’ll send her back. Don’t worry. We’ll be going now.” Mr Song said, they both bowed to Jaejoong and walked off

“Wait. Yuri. I need a favour.” Jaejoong stood up and stopped them.

“What now?” Yuri said

“Just follow me. Mr Song, you can go back first. I’ll take Yuri with me.” Jaejoong said as he grabbed Yuri’s hand

“Yes, sir.” Mr Song said as he bowed 

“Where are we going?” Yuri said as Jaejoong dragged Yuri to his car

“Do you know you talk way too much.” Jaejoong said 

“Can’t you ask nicely, like, ‘Oh Yuri, can you follow me, I have to bring you somewhere.’, and not drag me around like what you're doing now.” Yuri whined 

“Get in.” Jaejoong said as he opened the car door for Yuri.

“Can you please get in the car Yuri-ssi? Is that so hard to say.” Yuri complained as she got in the car

“Just be a good friend and follow me.” Jaejoong said as he started the car

“Alright Alright.” Yuri said 

"I want you to meet my mum. If that's alright with you?" Jaejoong said before he drove off

"Yeah sure." Yuri kept quiet as she just followed Jaejoong 

After, Yuri and Jaejoong visited his mum's grave, they headed back to the office. It was so awkward in the car. They didn't know what to say to one another. 

"Thanks for following me, I've never visited her with anyone before." Jaejoong said as both of them stepped out of the car 

"Well it is an honour to meet Mrs Kim, I hope your mum likes me though." Yuri said 

"I bet she thinks you're alright." Jaejoong said 

"Actually, everyone thinks I'm alright." Yuri vainly said as she flipped her hair 

"Everyone except me. You're kinda lower than alright actually." Jaejoong rated her 

"Ha ha, very funny." Yuri said as they walked into the building 

"I was just joking." Jaejoong said as he laughed

"You're finally laughing" Yuri said

"Why? You miss my laugher and smile right? Just admit it." Jaejoong teased Yuri

"No, not at all. I'm amazed at what I can do. I make people smile and laugh. Thats talent, I tell you." Yuri said proudly as she raised her eyebrows

"Sure...." Jaejoong rolled his eyes. 

"Unlike you, just your presence lowers the mood of the company." Yuri teased Jaejoong

"Hurry up, and get back to work." Jaejoong said as he walked off towards the lift

"Boss, I'm just kidding..." Yuri said as she followed Jaejoong 

They walked into the lift, as the door was about to close

"Hold the lift." Someone shouted, and it was none other than Yunho. 

"Oh, good afternoon Mr Jaejoong-ssi. Hey Yul!" Yunho bowed to Jaejoong, and he messed Yuri's hair

Jaejoong just glanced at what Yunho did to Yuri 

"Yah." Yuri whined as she fixed her hair 

"Don't forget today." Yunho reminded Yuri 

"How can I." Yuri said 

"What's happening today." Jaejoong who was eavesdropping asked 

"It's our monthly 'Bad Monday Movies'" Yunho explained 

"We did this since high school." Yuri said 

"It's our thing." Yuri said as she smiled towards Yunho 

The lift stopped at Yunho's floor. 

"Yah, don't forget. I'll pick you up later at 7. See you." Yunho said as he waved and walked out of the lift 

Jaejoong who was jealous rolled his eyes 

"Why would you pay to watch a bad movie?" Jaejoong asked 

"Because... I don't know. It's fun to critic how bad it is." Yuri said 

"Just read it off the website or whatever." Jaejoong said 

"You're no fun, you know that." Yuri said as she walked out of the lift 

"I'm actually a very fun person to hang with." Jaejoong said 

"Yeah sure...." Yuri sarcastically replied 

"I'll show you, that I'm a fun person. What time's the movie?" Jaejoong asked suddenly 

"Not sure, and definitely not going to tell you. It's me and Yunho's thing. Don't bother us." Yuri said 

"Why not." Jaejoong whined 

"It's a best friend thing. Me and Yunho are best friend." Yuri explained

"We can be best friends too." Jaejoong said 

"Eh... I'm fine, you being my boss is hard enough, I bet it would be far worst being your best friend." Yuri teased 

"And plus. I miss hanging with just Yunho. It seems like it's been forever since we both hung out." Yuri said 

"Fine, be that way, hang with your best friend. The amazing Yunho. Whatever." Jaejoong sulked as he walked into his office 

Yuri couldn't help but just laugh at Jaejoong. Mr Lee then walked towards Yuri 

"Where did you find him?" Mr Lee asked 

"Somewhere." Yuri said, not wanting to tell Mr Lee Jaejoong's hidden place 

"Did he bring you to meet, Mrs Kim" Mr Lee asked

"Maybe? How did you know?" Yuri said

“I'm Mr Lee, of course I know. And today it is his mom death anniversary." Mr Lee explained

"Ah...." Yuri said to herself

"Alright, get back to work, there’s a ton of appointments that you have to arrange.” Mr Lee said as he pointed towards Yuri’s desk

“Yes.” Yuri mumbled as she looked over to see Jaejoong 

“Go on…” Mr Lee directed Yuri. 

“Ah, sorry.” Yuri said as she rushed back to her desk

In Jaejoong’s Office

“So where did you bring her to?” To meet Mrs Kim?” Mr Lee asked

“Can we not talk about it please.” Jaejoong whined

“Talk about how you like Yuri-ssi.” Mr Lee teased

“Mr Lee….” Jaejoong complained

“Alright. I guess I’ll keep your dad updated.” Mr Lee disturbed Jaejoong. 

"Mr Lee! Fine I like her, she's really different from other girls that I know." Jaejoong said 

"Then go after her? Isn't Mr Jaejoong a ladies man?" Mr Lee said 

"Why thank you.... But I can't seem to make it work with her. She's not that kind that would be impress." Jaejoong complained

"I'm not that good with ladies though." Mr Lee said as Jaejoong laughed 

"How about you ask another female to ask what she wants and likes from a guy." Mr Lee said

"But I'm not too sure though who I should ask?" Jaejoong said as he wondered 

"Ah, how about Miss Tiffany? I bet she's willing to help you." Mr Lee teased Jaejoong 

"Eh? Tiffany-ssi!! It's okay." Jaejoong said in disgust

"Her friends?" Mr Lee suggested

"Nah, I don't know them too well to ask for help." Jaejoong said 

"What about Miss Sooyoung. She'll probably be the right person? Right?" Mr Lee suggested 

"You might be right. I'll ask her to be my spy. Thanks Mr Lee." Jaejoong said

"Happy to help. I'll go out and continue my work." Mr Lee said as he bowed

"Ah yes." Jaejoong stood up and bowed 

He then made a call to Sooyoung. 

"Yah Choi. Free to talk." Jaejoong said as his called was answered 

"Nope, I'm hanging up." Sooyoung replied 

"Aish. Yah!" Jaejoong said loudly 

"What do you want now?" Sooyoung asked 

"I need a favor from you." Jaejoong said 

"Fine, meet me at our usual place. I'll be there in 10" Sooyoung said then hung up 

Jaejoong then stood up and grabbed his coat to go meet Sooyoung. As he walked out he went to Yuri 

"Yuri-ssi, I'm heading out to meet a client right now." Jaejoong said 

"Oh? But it's not on my schedule book?" Yuri said as she checked her planner 

"No its a last minute thing. It happens often. So just call or text me if there's anything important." Jaejoong said as he walked off

"Alright." Yuri said as she continued to do her work 

"Ah, by the way, what movie and what time are we watching it." Jaejoong came back to ask 

"Me and Yunho haven't decided yet. Both of us are not sure yet. How about, I'll tell you tomorrow how the movie goes." Yuri said sarcastically 

"Fine! I'll let you both spend time together. Fine by me!" Jaejoong said as he stormed off

"Are you mad?" Yuri joked 

"Whatever..." Jaejoong shouted as he continue walking causing Yuri to laugh
