That afternoon hoya and soomi went straight to the warehouse behind the temple. they quickly took out all the equipments needed for the clean-up.

"this .." hoya put on a face while taking the plunger, twirling the stick around his fingers "deal with it" soomi rolled her eyes, taking in a bucket. hoya has been nagging all the way through and she's getting tired of it

"aish... it's all because of that darn snake!" hoya freaked out again. soomi only watched him and give him a sigh "what a spoilt brat" she whispered. hoya quickly flinched at her words "what did you say?!" hoya walked to her as soomi stucked out her tongue "babo~" she hummed.

"yah! i'm going to plunge you!" hoya threatened as he accelerated towards her with a plunger on his hand, ready to attack "waakh!" soomi ran out of the warehouse with a bucket of soap and sponge "when i catch you, you'll be sooo dead!" hoya chukled still running towards her

soomi met a dead end and gasped as hoya caught up with her "caught you" his arms encircled her waist "ert! get your hands off me!" soomi tried to release herself "i don't want to" hoya teasingly blow on her ear as soomi jumped "y-yahh!"

"erhmm!" the two quickly shifted their eyes towards the voice *oh no.. ms.lee* hoya quickly released soomi "i ask the two of you to clean the toilet, not hugging each other!" she hollered. the two quickly bowed down as ms.lee hissed and left.

soomi and hoya looked at each other, the atmosphere was quite tensed until hoya let out a big laugh

"seriously this is not funny!" soomi shook her head "your expression is" he pointed at her face and continue to chukled "ow ow ow!" her pinch was undeniably deadly, hoya cringed and stopped laughing "aish... where did you get that strenght like seriously!" hoya flipped his hands to relieve the pain

"shut up" soomi began to walk inside the toilet, snickering her nose "darn.." she quickly sprayed the air freshner all over the bathroom. hoya slipped the mask over her nose and mouth and slowly slid the string on her ear. soomi quickly turned at him while giving him a questioning look "you don't want to work with all this smell, do you?" he raised his eyebrow

"kamsa" she said as she fixed the mask and smiled to him. hoya blinked and only stared at her *she smiled..* for a moment hoya's heart flutters at her sudden action "hoya?" soomi blinked and waved a hand infront of his face

"uh yeah.. we should start working" he cleared his throat and began to plunge the toilet *i have to control myself..* he scolded himself

*i swear when she does that, i really wanted to hug her* he smiled to himself, remembering the sweet smile painted on her face

soomi looked at hoya as the boy smiled to himself *what a weird guy..* soomi shrugged before helping him with the cleaning

---------------------------

"akkhh! so tired~" soomi stretched her arms and create a few cracking sounds

"is it lunch already?" she wandered, looking for the crowd "don't eat too much or you'll get fat" hoya patted her head as he walked pass her "yah!" soomi huffed

both of them walked to the park, soomi stopped and sat for a while *stupid shoelace* she looked at her sholace and sigh, she bended down and reached the laces.

before she managed to fix it, hoya has bended down and fixed the sholaces for her "are you really that hoya?" soomi raised her eyebrow

"i am that Hoya" he smiled "i can do nice things too" he proudly beamed "really? then stop the contract" soomi teased "that-- i can't" he stood up and stretched his neck.

just then, something caught his eyes. hoya's eyes twinkled as he leaned closer.

"nice" hoya looked back at her as a shiny pendant catched his eyes. he smirk and slyly slid his hands, unbinding the necklace. soomi went confuse as hoya took her l.joe necklace away

"yah! give it back!" she tried to reach for the necklace but hoya held it up high "nice one" he smiled, eyeing the necklace

"hey give it back!" soomi jumped again "where do you buy it? it's kinda nice" he , helding it higher. soomi frustratedly growled "hoya give it back!" hoya smirked

"is this so precious?" soomi huffed "l.joe oppa gave it to me!" hoya's smile fades as he heard l.joe's name *that bastard gave this to you, euh?* he let out a quick 'tsk' and walked away with the necklace

"yah! where do you think you're going with my necklace?!" soomi eyes widened "get me a cola first and i'll return it to you. i'll count to ten" he ordered "am i a maid or something?!" soomi scoffed, putting on a furious face

"one.. two.." hoya began counting as he held the necklace in his hand. "!" soomi hissed, running for the drink.

hoya let out a small smile and walked back to the bench, sitting down comfortably "babo.. " he looked at the direction she went *that little fool* hoya's expression become tense again as he brushed against the necklace

"that bastard.. at least he got a sense in these kind of things"

-------

soomi ran to the cooking area and quickly get a can of cola *babo hoya* she pouted

*wait---* a brilliant idea rolled into her brain "you're going to regret for ordering me, hojerk" an evil smile crept on her face as she began to eagerly shake the can of cola up and down *muahahahah* she evilly laughed in her mind.

done with her evil plan, soomi began to walk back to hoya. on the way, a group of girls deliberately pushed her. soomi stumbled onto the floor, hissing as the girls threw her an annoyed, y look. soomi looked up to the girls

"look who's here.." they hissed "shameless.. spending a night with a guy" the other girl gossiped "i think she's not a anymore!" they shot her a deadly look "tiffany's right. she always caused trouble for oppa.. "

the girls walked closer to her "you hear me? CHEAP " they said in her face. soomi's heart flinched at the harsh comment "bye, !" the girls chukled and left her.

soomi stood up from her position, slowly dusting off her clothes. she was on the verge of crying. her face reddened, slowly shaking *i'm not cheap..* she felt her pride was cutted down, being called a and shameless is just too much for her.

------

"soomi!" sunggyu and jieun gripped on her shoulder as soomi turned around weakly. they were expecting her to freak out and throw them tantrum but instead, there was some kind of sadness in her eyes.

the two looked at soomi confusely "soomi? what's wrong?" sunggyu sensed the awkward silence as the girl shook her head, trying to hid her face "aniyo.." she slipped their hands away and walked towards the temple.

"what happened to her?" sunggyu wondered "did something happened?" jieun shrugged "i hope she's allright.." jieun bit the lower part of her lips as she saw her friend walking with no strenght.

"i heard she and hoya were suppossed to clean the toilet for the punishment" sunggyu scratched his head "it must've been hard on soomi but i don't think that's the reason she looked so down"

-----

l.joe happened to pass the cooking area, whistling *oh sunggyu and jieun* he was about to greet them but he stopped as the two still didn't noticed him there *what are they talking about so seriously?* l.joe furrowed his eyebrow.

"..that hoya jerk should really stop threatening her. just how long is he supposed to keep her as his fake lover? that stupid contract just ruined her life!" sunggyu let out a quick sigh

"poor soomi.. her father's job is at stake" jieun shook her head slowly *what--?* l.joe eyes widened as he quickly strode towards the two *what's with the contract and stuff?*

"what did you say? hoya's threatening soomi?!" l.joe's face went red like a bull *oh no..* jieun and sunggyu eyes popped up as they quickly shutted their mouth *he heard us?* sunggyu and jieun went pale "hyung.." sunggyu voice trembled in fear

"tell me" l.joe demanded
