Chapter 11: Love is the matter of heart

***

“How to attract your older lover: tips & tricks” Yeri raised one of her eyebrows “Woahh, you’re really really serious, aren’t you?”

Yeri and Joohyun were out shopping at Seoul Mall. Well she was just accompanying Yeri actually, but when they stopped by the bookstore, she couldn’t tear her eyes from this one particular book. She needed it.

joohyun nodded, eyes not leaving the summary of the book

“Instead of that, why don’t you buy this one” Yeri replaced the book in Hyun’s hand with another book titled ‘Behind the closed door: bewitched them with your moves (girl guidebook)’

Joohyun blushed “W..what is this?”

“Aish, don’t play innocent” Yeri rolled her eyes “You know what THIS is”

The young girl cleared and shove the book back to her friend “I don't need this...not now”

“You need this, young woman” Yeri insisted “We never know when she will ask you so you must read it, be prepared girl”

“Yeri~ah” Joohyun whined, she was so embarrassed

“You want to seduce an older woman, not a teenager, so play it like an adult does!” Yeri lectured her

“I’ll buy this book for you” her friend took the book and dragged a reluctant Joohyun to the counter

The shopkeeper ahjumma was eyeing them with a weird look “Young ladies, are you mistaking this book with your school book?”

They were still clad in their school uniform, no wonder.

Yeri shook her head “No, we want to buy this book for the sake of learning”

“What kind of learning?” The ahjumma asked, raising her brows

“ educational” Yeri told her “How would we keep our future partner in hand if we don’t know how to satisfy them in bed?”

Some customers looked at Yeri with an amused stare when she forced the ahjumma to proceed with their purchase since the latter still has this reluctant look.

“You’ll thank me later, Hyun” Yeri winked while passing the book to a very embarrassed Joohyun who covered her face with her hands

It was quite a busy day but that didn’t stop joohyun from interviewing her aunt

“So, what does seungwan unnie hate the most?” Joohyun thought asking information from her target best friend would be the best choice, of course she needed to play it cool or Seulgi will be suspicious

“Why do you want to know?”

“I don’t want to be on her bad side, you know she can be such a nagging ahjumma sometimes” she already prepared her so-called reason, last night.

“Oh, you’re right” Seulgi stupidly agreed “She hates bugs the most so keep her flat bugs free”

Joohyun nodded “And?”

“Her brother, never ask about him” Seulgi said while counting the money, she was cashier for the day

“She also dislikes undisciplined, slacking employees, she is a perfectionist so you must do everything as flawlessly as you can” Seulgi sighed “I really hate it when she starts lecturing me about how to do my job”

“Then what does she like the most?”

“Piano! She is really good with it” seulgi said “You should hear her play”

I already did, Joohyun thought.

“She also likes that olaf character which you already knew and likes fast learner employees, well she is a perfectionist afterall” Seulgi added “But you know what? she is completely the most stubborn & stingiest person I've ever met, you remember the lantern thing right?”

Joohyun nodded “In the end, she didn't buy that lantern”

“I wonder if there is anyone who can keep up with that stubborn girl”

I believe I can, Joohyun confidently said to herself.

“Any girlfriend/boyfriend?”

Seulgi eyed joohyun with a suspicious stare

“I... mean I should know her lover right? Since I live with her”

“She isn’t seeing anyone right now”

The younger girl felt relieved

“She is a picky person though”

“Picky?”

“Yeah, she is a perfectionist, remember? Her girlfriend must be someone who is awesome like...like the princess of Korea”

“You exaggerate things, unnie”

“No, I’m serious. She won’t date someone who can’t meet her standart” Seulgi snickered

“And her standard is?” Joohyun was getting curious

“...I don't know”

What a useless friend!

“Good afternoon miss, what would you like to order?”

The customer smiled “Iced matcha would be nice, umm...”

“Joohyun”

“Hi Joohyun. I’m Yoona” The woman introduced herself too “I’m surprised that Seungwan let such a young girl working here, it’s not like her” she laughed

Joohyun frowned a bit

“I only help here on the weekends. Anyway, you know Seungwan unnie?”

Yoona smiled at her question “Yes, I know her very well”

“Oh, how did you two meet?” Joohyun was beyond curious and jealous at the same time

“One day, she was admitted to the hospital where my father worked. Back then, I frequentl
