“Hmm- Oppa! I don’t think this is a good idea” She broke the kiss and put her finger over his lips slightly pushing him

He remained silent, only staring at her! Who is he trying to fool? That was obviously his punishment for turning her off

“P-please don’t misunderstand me! I just need time to figure things out, and you too! You probably need more time than I do! You’ve just broke up with Jae Hee-ssi! You should know what is actually happening, how you feel and where would all this lead us” she explained as she noticed his grim expression

“Okay! Let’s take this slow; I’ll give you as much time as you want! But promise me that you’ll stay by my side! Please don’t avoid me!” he desperately said

“I won’t leave you oppa! I’ll be by your side! Just don’t do things that you might regret later” she smiled at him “I’ll be going now” she walked to the door

“What? You’re not staying??” he frowned

“Wish I can! But I left the agency in a hurry! I guess all of the staff are looking for me by now” She shyly said

“Hmm! Okay”

“And... oppa?! Would you please go back to work? It might not be good to delay surgeries! R-right?!” she stuttered

“Okay! I’ll go, to work! Don’t worry! It was pretty much messy and childish of a day!” He messed up her hair

“Good then, oppa! I’ll meet you later” She tapped his cheek swiftly and ran out

……………

As he went to his work he met Jae Hee on one of the corridors, she opened her lips to talk but he held his hand up to shut her up

“I’ll hear you out, I promise… but not now! I don’t wanna let you talk when the pretty image of Jae Hee sunbae is shaken inside my mind” He coldly said and walked away, making her eyes tear up

…………………………..

Seohyun reminisced the kiss all over her thoughts, Could he possibly like her back like finally? Aiish since when you’re this desperate Joohyun?

But seriously does he really have to kiss her like that? She suddenly felt so hot

“What’s exactly on your mind Yong-Yong oppa?” she thought

“Karen-ssi!” A model came and called out for her

“A-ah! Yeah, Yewon-ssi?”

“It’s time to go home already! Aren’t you coming?” She asked confusedly as she saw that Joohyun didn’t pack her stuff yet

“I’m coming! Just a second” She packed in a hurry and walked up to her unnie and they both went home

………………..

“Should I call her?” Yonghwa mumbled as he tossed and his bed restlessly

“Ah! Why am I like this? I didn’t behave this way even when I was in high school” he face palmed

“Ah Goguma-yah! What have you done to me?” He smiled to himself but soon enough he frowned

“Goguma? To whom you’re lying Jung Yonghwa! She’s as pretty as a blossoming flower! I should stop calling her that! What if she didn’t like me anymore because I disrespect her! What if she considers it as an insult? Aiish pabo” He hit his own head

Just then he remembered Hi childhood days that he spent with her! She was so clumsy and he had to take care of her all the time, He felt so embarrassed to show her to his playmates back then, and then flashbacks of their kissing came flooding into his head, making his heart race, He could almost still feel her lips moving against his, Her sweet smell and how innocent she looked when she closes her eyes then open them slowly or the way she touch his neck! He never felt any of those breathless moments with Jae Hee during their dates! He didn’t even kiss her to start with

“Joohyun-ah! What are you doing to me for god’s sake” He sighed

He could almost laugh at his own self because instead of weeping and stressing over His not so nice breakup he’s thinking about a different woman! He’s crazy! Definitely crazy

He fell asleep without even noticing it that night! His mind was filled with Hundreds of What Ifs

…………………………..

{Next Morning}

 “What? Not again!” Joohyun Groaned in annoy

“I know right! I hate working with him as well, he’s a flirty jerk” Luna sighed as well, She just broke the news to Joohyun that they will be the main Models for Choi Minho’s Shoes & Bags Collection

The Dresses they will be wearing are also His design, but the highlight will be the Shoes & Bags

“We have to go for fitting in 20 minutes! It’s so sudden” Luna added

“Okay! Wanna grab some coffee before we go?” Joohyun Asked and the other girl nodded excitedly

_____

As they walked inside the huge fitting room, Minho looked up and eyed Joohyun with a big smile on his face

“Oh here is my Star for the show” He walked towards her, his words made all the other models glare at him but he wouldn’t careless, making Joohyun smile apologetically at the other girls

“Hello Minho-ssi” Joohyun coldly said

“Hey! May I show you your dress?” He wolfishly smiled

“I’ll be fine! The Coordi unnies will show me! Please don’t bother with me” She tried to say as politely as she can despite her irritation

“Okay! Feel free then” He said quietly “Oh! Karen-ssi! Can I have a word with you when we finish our fitting session?”

“Oh! I s there a problem Minho-ssi?” She asked worriedly

“Not at all but I’d like to discuss something with you”

“O-okay, Minho-ssi”

{After the fitting session}

All the girls went back to their rooms to rest but Joohyun had no choice but to wait for Minho as he asked her to

He walked towards her “Would you like to have a walk with me?” He asked and she nodded and both went out of the studio and walked towards the Agency’s garden

“So, Minho-ssi what would you like to discuss?” she asked carefully

“You see… I got much to say, so bear with me okay?” He answered and she nodded softly

“I know, you might be misunderstanding me for a player, but no I’m not that kind of man at all! I know that you understood how I feel about you exactly! And I can clearly feel the line that you’re drawing between us!” He started and she was speechless! She kinda can guess where’s he going with that “TALK” and she doesn’t like it at all, she didn’t want to feel awkward with any of her sunbae’s specially him! So she remained mum

“You know I like you, and I would like to date you! I’ll give you as much time as you want, I won’t rush you” He said

She felt speechless as she tried to process something suitable to say back at him, and as she found some voice to talk “Uhm- Minho-ssi! I- I don’t …think- it” She stuttered, she obviously had no answer to give

“I said you can take your time” He insisted

“I’m afraid I have to answer you now” she shifted in her place restlessly “I-” she wouldn’t finish her words when he suddenly hugged her

Her eyes widened in shock!

“Please don’t reject me now! It’s too much for my heart! I already feel so nervous to confess” he whispered and hugged her tighter

She didn’t know what to do anymore, so she let him be, she’ll wait till he pulls away, she felt rude to push him away, she didn’t hurt his feelings after all

Unknown to her that she hurt another person, who stood watching them frozen

Yonghwa who came to visit her in her agency was shocked to see her getting hugged by some man in the garden

Just then! He experienced how scary the feeling of someone snatching her away! And he can’t help but to wonder is he moving too slowly or it’s already too late?

She felt like Minho was holding her longer than he should so she pulled away gently

“I’m sorry Minho-ssi! But I’ll have to think about it first! But I don’t want you to put much hope in this! I might disappoint you” she slowly said

“I understand! I’m quite satisfied that you’ll be considering this” He said trying to control his tone and she just nodded at him and bowed slightly before walking away! As she passed by the entrance she noticed her Yong-yong oppa standing there frowning! She gulped… what could bring him here? She could see how he tried to smile at her but she knows that it’s not his sincere smile; did he by any chance… saw Minho hugging her? , but she tried to smile and act as normal as she can and walked towards him

“Oppa!” She called out

“Joohyun-ah!” he called back

“Come inside!” She invited and started leading the way! As Yonghwa turned to where Minho was standing earlier and found him looking back at him so he walked closer to Joohyun and held her by the waist while walking by her side, He decided that whatever the situation was he must mark his territory in anyway

………….

“So… how lucky I am today to have Yong oppa visiting me in my agency?” She started as they sa
