Chapter 77

The Magicians of Love

Nicole came into Tiffany’s office to inform something. “Mr. Kim, actually… ARGH!” She suddenly shouted as she saw Tiffany and Hyunjoong who stood very close as their faces only a few inches from each other’s.

Tiffany and Hyunjoong immediately turned their head towards the door as they looked very shocked especially Tiffany. Hyunjoong took a few steps backwards while grinning awkwardly.

Tiffany looked very shocked as she kept stuttering as she explained, “Ni… Nicole, it… it’s not what you are thinking about…”

“Ah, I’m really sorry for disturbing.” Nicole replied while giving a naughty smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll immediately leave you guys alone. You can continue.” She added quickly before leaving.

“Yah, Nicole! Come back!” Tiffany slightly raised her voice but she just got ignored by Nicole. Hyunjoong just chuckled happily. Tiffany turned her head towards him as she gave a stern glare. “What?!” She asked in annoyance. “This is your fault!”

“We’ll talk again later, ok?”

“About what? We just have to meet for the meeting this Monday.”

“It’s about our personal of course.”

“There’s nothing…”

He cut her off. “I never thought even once our relationship has ended. You are still my girlfriend before, now and it will just go on like that.” He said seriously.

“No, we have broken up and that’s final!” She responded firmly.

“Did you think you can just end a relationship by writing it in letter? Do you think it’s just as simple as that? I won’t ever accept it, understand?” Tiffany was about to open to say something but he shut her up by putting his index finger on her lips. “Sshh! I don’t want to listen to your excuse anymore. I’ll give you some time to think about it. We’ll talk again later properly.”

He went out from her office and Tiffany just could only sigh when she saw his determination. Now, she was worried how far she could stay strong.

Minho just came back from meeting Yuri at the Soshi Girls’ villa. Jooyeon saw his brother entering his room and she immediately ran to him. It seemed like she knew Minho just met Yuri to correct everything.

“Oppa!”

“Oh, Jooyeon-ah, come here.” Minho saw her and asked her to sit beside him on his bed.

“Oppa, how is it?” Jooyeon asked excitedly with full of hope. “Did you guys make up?”

“Not yet.” Minho shook his head as he looked quite sad.

“Oh, really?” Jooyeon pouted her lips as she looked very disappointed.

“But, I really understand why she acted like that. She had been hurt so much because of me. So, we should give her more time so that her heart can be healed, ok? But, don’t worry, oppa will never give up.”

“That’s great to hear.” Jooyeon smiled widely. “Oppa, if you feel even a bit tired, if ever the thought of giving up comes across your minds, you must immediately inform me ok? I’ll give you a lot of energy so that you won’t give up.”

“Alright, I get it~” Minho replied cutely. “That’s so considerate of my cute sister!” He exclaimed while patting her head.

“Of course, oppa! If I will get a sister-in-law in the future, it must be her, no matter what, it must be Pretty unnie. She’s the only girl that I will approve. Otherwise, you won’t get married oppa!” Jooyeon gave a stern cute warning.

Minho laughed. “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll remember it for sure.”

“Oppa… then, do you want me to help you?”

“Help? How do you want to help me?” Minho looked so curious and interested of Jooyeon’s plan. “Do you get a great plan?”

“I’m not sure but we should give it a try.”

Yoona came out from the shower room with her towel clinging around her neck. She just finished taking shower. Meanwhile, Yuri was lying down on the bed while reading a book. As Yoona dried her hair with the towel, she took a look at Yuri which she constantly did to check Yuri’s condition. Yoona smiled as she was relieved that Yuri showed a big improvement in getting better even mentally. She looked much better and calmer than before.

Yoona lied down beside her on the bed. “It’s good to see you getting better.” She said to Yuri.

Yuri put down the book on her lap and changed her focus on Yoona. “That’s right. Forgiving someone really made me so much better. I felt like I already was released from the pain. I don’t have to hold the burden and feeling angry towards someone anymore.”

“Aigoo, our Yul is so nice!” Yoona exclaimed jokingly as she put her arm around Yuri’s neck.

Yuri chuckled. “And, thank you so much for being such a great friend to me.”

“Eh~” Yoona made her eyes smaller. “Is there any need to say that to me? Who am I? The kindest and greatest friend of Kwon Yuri! Do you know how important is my presence in your life now?” She kept joking around towards Yuri to make Yuri felt much better and of course, she really wished that Yuri could change to her old-self quickly.

“Im Yoona, you’re so shameless~ aigoo!” They both laughed happily.

After a hesitation, Yoona carefully mentioned about Minho. “Yuri-ah… you really don’t want to accept him back?”

Yuri remained silent for a while before replying. “Honestly, I’m not sure too… yes, I did forgive everything that happened but still, I couldn’t erase it yet, I couldn’t just think like nothing had happened… even the wound in my heart… for now, my heart is closed... to be in love is just too painful for me at this moment…”

“I just wish the best for both of you. Honestly, I really hope that you guys can get together like before but I’m not saying you should accept him immediately… I just want you to consider carefully about this thing. Even he got hurt too by this incident and he is also can’t be blamed for what had happened.”

“Yes, I know that. I just need more time.”

Suddenly, Yuri’s cell phone rang which stopped the conversation with Yoona. She picked up the call.

“Yes, Seokhyun-ah…” It was her brother.

“Noona, are you free tomorrow?”

“Yes, I think so. Why?”

“Can you accompany me to go to the zoo?”

“Huh? Zoo? Why? So sudden…”

“Nothing. I just feel like going there. So, can you spend some time for me tomorrow?”

“Alright. No problem, I don’t have anything to do anyway.”

“Ok, noona. See you tomorrow, bye.”

“Ok, bye.”

Yoona looked at Yuri with questioned face, being wondering about the conversation with Seokhyun.

“Seokhyun asked me to accompany him going to the zoo. I don’t know why he suddenly wants to go there.”

-------

Even at such early morning, Yuri and Seokyun had arrived at the zoo like Yuri had promised to him last night. they were on the way to the counter to buy the ticket.

"Yah, why are you so excited to go here? It's still early." Yuri asked Seokyun who forced her to go early as he even personally came with his driver to the Soshi Girls' villa to pick up his sister.

"Noona, you don't have to be worried, ok? Just be happy ok?"

Yuri chuckled. "Yah, how can I be happy if I was the one who accompany you to come here?"

"Actually, I asked you to come here because I want to make you happy." Seokyun indirectly gave a clue to Yuri about his real intention asking her out.

"What do you mean?" Yuri looked clueless hearing his words.

Seokyun avoided answering her question. "Noona, wait here. I'll buy the tickets."

Yuri didn't ask further as she just thought it was nothing serious. Seokyun queued up at the counter as he waited for his turn to buy the tickets.

A few minutes later, he came back with instead of two, four tickets were in his hands. Yuri looked at him in confusion as she found out as he bought two tickets for adults and two tickets for children. "Why are you buying all of these tickets? Yah, since when you don't know how to count? Aigoo~"

Before Seokyun could answer her, suddenly there was a greet from someone which directed to them. "Hi! You guys have waited for long?"

Yuri immediately turned her body around to find out who it was especially it was so familiar. She was so taken aback that she unconsciously took a step backward. She could see Minho together with Jooyeon and she thought it was out of question that this was a pure coincidence.

"Hyung, I have bought the ticket for you and Jooyeon too." Seokyun gave the tickets to Minho and Jooyeon.

"Oh, really? Thanks!" Minho patted Seokyun's head.

Yuri looked at them in confusion. "What is going on?"

Minho looked at her while giving a sweet warm smile.

"Noona, actually I want all of us going out together. It's must be fun, right?" Seokyun explained in excitement.

Though Yuri obviously couldn't put a smile on her face as a sign that she was comfortable and fine with this sudden unexpected plan of Seokyun, she couldn't reject it especially with Jooyeon looked so happy to see her. "Pretty unnie, I really miss you a lot." Jooyeon ran towards Yuri's embrace.

Yuri squatted down to catch Jooyeon in her embrace. "Oh, have you been well?° She smiled widely as she patted Jooyeon's head.

"Yes, but I really miss you a lot, unnie." Jooyeon pouted her lips cutely.

"Alright, me too!" Yuri giggled. Minho looked so pleased as he finally able to Yuri smiled brightly for a long time.

Jooyeon suddenly gave a shocking request to Yuri. "Unnie, my oppa also miss you a lot? Won't you give him a hug too?" Though Jooyeon knew that about current relationship of Minho and Yuri, she purposely did that so they could gotten closer like before quickly.

Both Yuri and Minho looked very shocked especially Yuri. However, before Yuri could react to this absurd situation, Minho immediately added, "Jooyeon-ah, what are you talking about?" Minho gave an apologetic look to Yuri as he said, "I'm sorry. She must be kidding." Actually, he also missed her a lot too and he really hoped that what Jooyeon asked really became true but he didn't want to force her and didn't want to make too forward step to win her heart back as he was afraid that she would just push him away more.

Jooyeon kept acting clueless about Minho and Yuri's break up. "But, what's wrong with it? You guys are lovers, right?"

Minho got that Jooyeon was just pretending and he just went along with it. "Be... because it's embarrassing, there's lot of people here!" He just made any excuse that came across his minds.

Yuri looked quite shocked that Jooyeon didn't know about their break up especially Minho also didn't bother to tell her truth as she was sure there would a problem later if this situation persisted.

"Since when oppa is shy to make skinship with Pretty unnie?" Jooyeon teased them.

Minho made a fake laugh before quickly changed their topic."Let's go! The animals in the zoo must be waiting for us!"

Then, all of them started moving into the zoo. The condition in the zoo was very merrily noise as it was full with a lot of people coming from all generation. The kids also looked amazed and shocked especially of those animals that were unfamiliar to them. Seokyun and Jooyeon looked very excited as these two checked out all the animals there.

As Minho saw Jooyeon and Seokyun had fun in their own world, Minho took this chance to talk personally to Yuri. He cautiously took a few steps closer to her who just looked quite happy to see how Jooyeon and Seokyun had fun together. "Yuri-ah, I'm sorry."

She did look quite shocked when he suddenly talked to her but she tried to stay calm whenever he was close to her. "For what?"

"I know that you feel uncomfortable with me..."

She cut him off. "No, it's okay. You don't have to be worried about that. I already forgave you but... I admit that it's still hard to be around you as comfortable as before. I hope you can give me some time." She explained to him honestly.

He gave her a smile to assure her that he understood really well her situation. Just seeing her and talking to her like this already made him very happy.

She added, "About Jooyeon..." She referred about Jooyeon not knowing their current relationship.

"Oh, about that, I'm sorry. Actually, it's hard for me to tell the truth, I don't want to disappoint her." He lied to her.

"But, how long you want to hide it? There might be a problem later." She added seriously.

He was quite taken aback for her reaction. So, now he could conclude that she still didn't give a thought about possibility of them getting together again, she still closed her heart tightly. However, he understood her feeling but he still didn't have any thought to let her go, he wanted to put more effort as he indeed admitted he had to put a lot of effort much more than amount of pain that he gave her.

Suddenly, she felt like there was someone held her hand which interrupted her conversation with Minho and it turned out that it was Jooyeon. "Unnie, unnie."

As Yuri was too into the conversation with Minho, she didn't even realize about the presence of Jooyeon and Seokyun beside her. "Ah, yes... Why?"

"Let's take a photo!" Jooyeon asked in delight.

"Photo?"

"Over there!" Jooyeon pointed out to somehere which both Minho and Yuri gave their stare at.

They could see a photographer who was in the duty was taking the photo of the visitors with the background of a lot of wild and cute animals.

"Oh, you want it? Let's go!" Yuri accepted her request happily as she held Jooyeon's hand walking there as both Minho and Seokyun followed them behind.

"Ahjusshi, we want to take photo too!" Jooyeon asked the photographer cutely.

"Alright~" He patted Jooyeon's head as he asked all of them to be ready in place for taking the photo.

Jooyeon and Seokyun were in the front line as they were ready for their cute pose like other children and at the same time, still be intimate to each other. Meanwhile, Yuri and Minho stood awkwardly behind them, as there was a small gap between them. The photographer was aware of it and immediately asked them to stand closer to each other. "Why are you guys so far from each other?"

Yuri and Minho looked quite suprised. However, before they could think how to react to this situation, Seokyun and Jooyeon already gave a gentle push to both of them that made their bodies touched each other's. They looked very shocked as Jooyeon and Seokyun only let out a small laugh.

"That's right!" The photographer exclaimed in satisfaction. "I'll take the photo now... 1,2..." However, he put down the camera back as he still seemed unsatisfied with Minho and Yuri. " Did you guy fight? You guys looked so stiff." He all of a sudden, asked.

Minho immediately replied as he this time initiated the skinship with Yuri. "Of course not!" He wrapped his arm around Yuri's neck while leaning against her comfortably.

Yuri's eyes went bigger as she was very shocked with Minho's sudden bold skinship. Jooyeon and Seokyun shouted in excitement. "That's how it is!" The photographer exlaimed in excitement as he was ready to take the photo.

Yuri didn't know what to do as her body was frozen. She couldn't reject him either. And, what she hated right now, her feelings. Her heart naturally pounded whenever he was near to her as she admitted that she still loved him and missed him. He leaned his head against her head which caused her heartbeat increased. She tried to stay calm and just gave the brightest smile that she was able to give.

Finally, the photographer was able to take the perfect photo of them. Minho took his hand off her while apologized gently, "I'm sorry." She didn't replied as she still looked confused, her heart still didn't stop pounding due to his action.

"Here it is." The photographer gave the photo to Jooyeon.

"Thank you, ajusshi!"

They continued walking in the zoo as they looked around the animals. Yuri kept a distance between her and Minho but tried not to be too obvious to calm down her heartbeat.

Jooyeon checked out the photo that they took before happily. "I really like this photo! It's really beautiful and perfect!" She exclaimed in satisfaction. "This is my future husband..." She referred to Seokyun.

"Yah, Choi Jooyeon, are't you embarrassed as a girl to be that straightforward?!" Minho asked in disbelief while Seokyun chuckled in embarrassment.

Ignoring her oppa's words, Jooyeon continued, "And, together with us is my oppa and my sister-in-law!" Finally, Jooyeon referred to Yuri as her sister-in-law which surprised both Minho and Yuri. Jooyeon looked at Yuri while holding onto her hand. "It's perfect, right unnie?"

Minho took a look at Yuri to check out her reaction. "Well..." Yuri gave a stiff smile to Jooyeon.

"Unnie, I really have a lot of fun today!" Jooyeon said excitedly to Yuri.

"Oh, really?" Yuri gave a wide smile to her. "You have fun because of me or because of my dongsaeng?" She as she was referring to Seokyun.

Both Seokyun and Jooyeon looked very embarrassed as their cheek turned red while Yuri and Minho chuckled seeing their reaction. Jooyeon added, "But I much much more happy because unnie's here! Next time, I want to go out with unnie again."

Yuri asked happily, "Where do you want to go next time?"

"Amusement park? I really want to go there again."

"Then, what do you want to ride there?"

"This time, I want all of us ride roller coaster together."

After Yuri heard Jooyeon's answer, she suddenly burst into laughter as she got reminded of something. Seokyun and Jooyeon stared at Yuri in astonishment while Minho did look quite shocked but he was extremely happy after it has been a long time since she laughed like that which he missed a lot to see. She laughed wholeheartedly until even her tears could be seen due to laughter and she looked indeed very cute.

"Noona, what's wrong with you?" Seokyun asked Yuri while smiling widely as he himself was very happy finally her sister become happy.

"Not... nothing..." She even had difficulty in explaining since she couldn't control her laughing. Minho just grinned like an idiot seeing how cute she was. She finally explained, "Actually, I just remember that Minho..." She stopped herself as even her smile disappeared from her face. She felt embarrassed. Actually, she laughed because she still remembered how funny Minho was when he pretended to be strong when they rode the roller coaster before.

"Unnie laughed like that because of my oppa?" Jooyeon asked excitedly. Minho looked more than happy when he found out that her laugh was because of him.

"No, no!" Yuri shook her head as she bit her lips to hold her laughter. Minho stared at her lovingly. She tried her best to hold her laughter but when her eyes met with Minho's who looked at her while smiling widely, she eventually burst into laughter again as they together laughed while looking at each other. It seemed now Yuri could comfortably laughed with him.

Though both Jooyeon and Seokyun were clueless of what was this all about, they made high 5. "Yeah!" It seemed like their plan worked as there was some progression in Minho and Yuri's relationship. Yuri had slightly opened her heart and be more comfortable around Minho.

Even just taking a look of these complicated documents that Tiffany had to sign later just made her feel dizzy. So, she decided to take a short break before continuing later. She rested her back against her chair as she closed her eyes.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door that caused her to open her eyes. "Yes, come in."

The door was opened and Nicole came into the office. "You have a phone call."

"Who?"

"Key."

Key? Who..." She frowned as she was thinking. "Oh, Hyunjoong's secretary?" Nicole nodded as answer for Tiffany's question. "Why did he want to talk to me?"

"Well, I'm not sure. He just said that it's very important."

"Alright, thanks." Nicole came out from the office as Tiffany picked up the call. "Yes, Stephanie's speaking."

Key explained in anxiousness. "Actually, my boss is sick."

All of a sudden, Tiffany stood up due to the shock. "What?! Hyunjoong's sick?! Wh... what actually happened?" She looked very worried.

"I'm not sure too. His condition is bad and he kept calling for you, so I thought it's the best choice to tell you..."

"Alright, I'll go there immediately. Can you give the address?" Key told her Hyunjoong's house address as she wrote it down. "Ok, thanks. I'll be there soon." She ended the call.

She put on her suit quickly and then took her car's key on the table before going out from her office in rush.

 She passed in front of Nicole's table on the way. "Fany-ah! Eh, miss." Nicole corrected the way she called Tiffany as soon as she remembered that they were in office. "Miss, where are you going?!" She had to ask loudly in order to stop Tiffany who was running.

"I've to go somewhere."

"How can you go out during office hours? Please don't get me into trouble too!" She begged Tiffany because when her father found out about Tiffany skipping her work, both of them would be in trouble.

"I have an emergency. I've to go now."

"But, what should I do when your father come to see you?!"

"Just say that I've emergency! Nicole, I really don't have time now." Tiffany was about to go before she was stopped again.

"Hang on, hang on! What kind of emergency?!"

"Aish, just tell that I was going to meet someone from other company about the project that I am handling right now. Ok, now? Can I go now?" Without waiting for Nicole to reply her answer, Tiffany just walked away, leaving her alone.

"Meeting someone from other company about the project?" Nicole talked to herself in confusion as she thought what was meant by Tiffany's words. Finally, she got it. "Does that mean she was going to meet Hyunjoong?" She looked very excited for them.

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

Tiffany entered her car and entered the adress given by Key which she wrote onto a note in the GPS. She started driving according the direction that was given. She drove her car quickly but still obeyed the rules carefully. She looked very worried of Hyunjoong and she really hoped there won't be any serious thing happened to him.

After 30 minutes she finally arrived in front of the Hyunjoong after lost a few times since she couldn't pay her attention very well to the instructions by GPS since her minds were kept worrying about Hyunjoong. She got out from her car and pressed the bell of the house.

Key came to open the door. "Oh, hi, you're here!" He greeted Tiffany with a smile before asking her to come in. "This way." He led Tiffany to Hyunjoong's room.

"What actually happened to him?" She asked in worry.

"Actually, yesterday, he got a fever and he already took medicine. I thought today he will recover quickly but his condition became worse this morning. Since then, he kept mumbling. All I can hear what he said was your name." Key explained to Tiffany.

They arrived in front of Hyunjoong's room and Key opened the door before they both entered. She could see Hyunjoong lying weakly on the bed. His condition was really bad as his face looked very pale. Tiffany sat on the chair near the bed.

"For now, he is able to sleep but who knows, he will wake up again later."

Tiffany touched Hyunjoong's forehead. "It's really hot!"

"Actually, I really wanted to send him to the hospital as I'm worried his condition would become worse but he insisted so many times, he will be fine soon and he didn't have to go to the hospital. That's why, leaving me with no choice, I call you here."

"Then, can you take me a basin of water and a small towel?" Tiffany asked Key.

"Alright." Key came out from the room, leaving Tiffany alone with Hyunjoong.

Tiffany returned her stare towards Hyunjoong. She felt so sad and hurt when seeing him like this. He being like this... was part of it due to her? Did he become like this because of her? Honestly, now she started to lose her confidence in believing her decision to break up with him was right.

Key came back later with the things that had been asked by Tiffany. "Thanks." She immersed the small towel in the basin filled with water and put the wet towel onto Hyunjoong's forehead so that the heat would be absorbed from his body to reduce his high temperature.

Suddenly, Hyunjoong started to mumbled again. "Fany-ah... Fany-ah, please... Fany-ah, don' go... Fany-ah..." He said weakly in scare with a frown on his face.

Tiffany immediately held his hand with both of her hands to comfort him. "Sshhh, don't worry, I'm here. I won't go." She his hair gently. Eventually, with Tiffany's comfort which what he needed the most at this moment, had calmed him down to continue sleeping peacefully. She hove a sigh of relief.

"You know what, I think you are the real reason of why he becomes like this." Key said out his opinion honestly.

Tiffany looked quite shocked. "Have you found out about us?"

"Yes, he told me everything about you, about why he suddenly wanted to take over his company, why he came here... He did all of these because of you... Can't you accept him back? You also love him too right? I'm completely sure you won't bother yourself to come here immediately after you got a call from me if you don't have any feelings left for him." Tiffany couldn't reply to her as she was speechless, he was right. "He had suffered a lot when you left him, I was really aware of that because since then, I've been spending my time with him."

"It same goes to me too. I also was in difficult situation."

"So, why don't you put a stop to it by making up? Both of you don't have to suffer like this anymore."

"It's not easy as you think. I did all of these, I sacrificed my feelings towards him for now, it's all for him. Yes, he is suffering now but later, you will find out that this is the best choice for him."

Key just could only sigh. Hyunjoong was right that Tiffany was really stubborn when she had made up her minds. She would stick firmly to her decision and now he wondered how Hyunjoong planned to persuade her to get together back.

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

After having to take care of Hyunjoong throught out all night, Key felt so tired as he took a nap in the living room as he left Hyunjoong to Tiffany to take care of. Meanwhile, in the room, Tiffany fell into sleep while resting her head on her arms on Hyunjoong's bed near to where Hyunjoong slept. It showed how she had been very busy with the work and still found it was hard to adapt herself with this kind of lifestyle.

Hyunjoong slowly opened his heavy eyes as he looked at the ceiling blankly. His head just felt quite hurt. He tried to move his hand but he couldn't as he felt like something was holding onto his hand. He turned his head and saw Tiffany was sleeping soundly as she was holding onto Hyunjoong's hand tightly. He did looked quite surprised at first seeing her unexpected presence. Then, he unconsciously smiled widely. He was very happy to see her being worried about him. Even she had pushed him away much and rejected him many times, this was the main reason of why he couldn't give up on her. He knew that her love towards him never changed.

He slowly got up and changed his position from lying down to sitting as he still let Tiffany holding onto one of his hands. He gently caressed her hair as he stared at her face lovingly with a wide smile on his face. He really missed her a lot to see her this close, to touch her... She suddenly moved due to his touch. "Oh, did I wake you up? Sorry..."

She saw he was already awake and immediately got up. She cupped his face and looked into his eyes. "Are you okay? Do you feel better?" She asked anxiously as she looked extremely worried. However, he didn't reply anything and just gave a wide smile since he was very happy that she was very worried when he fell sick. "Why don't you answer?" This time, she started to look confused. However, Hyunjoong just gave her a silly smile. Finally, she got the meaning behind his smile and immediately took off her hands from his face as she look embarrassed. "Don't get wrong idea. Key who was the one that asked me to come here." She said seriously.

"Then, why do you have to come if he indeed asked you?" He for trying making an obvious excuse.

"Th... that's because..." She was silent since she couldn't think of any excuse.

He held both of her hands while saying happily. "You don't have to lie anymore. It's just so obvious that you are worried about me."

"Ceh, are you joking with me?!That's not the case, ok? Who was the one that keep mumbling Fany-ah, Fany-ah..." She laughed happily after trying imitating him.

Hyunjoong just stared at her lovingly and it has been long since he saw her laughed comfortably in front of him. Tiffany was aware that he kept looking at her and she immediately stopped her laugh as she cleaned , feeling awkward with his deep stare.

"It's because I miss you so much, that's why I unconsciously called for you... You must be missing me too, isn't it? Otherwise, you would just give ignore whether I called for you or not." He said while grinning like a little kid.

Tiffany let out a fake laugh. "Hah! You must be kidding me! Why would I miss you? There's nothing between us now." She took a look at her wristwatch. "Seeing you can even joked around now, you must be feeling much better. I have to go back to my work." She got up.

However, he immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her in towards himself which she ended sitting back on his bed but this time, she was nearer to him and eventually, in his embrace as he wrapped his arms around her waist. She unconsciously ended up placing her hands on his chest as there was only a few inches distance between their face.

She stared at him with widened eyes. "Y... ya... yah, what are you..." She kept stuterring, showing that her heart already pounding whenever they were close to each other.

He gave her a michievous smile as he looked straight into her eyes which of course caused Tiffany become more nervous. "You don't have to lie. I know you miss me too."

Tiffany tried her best to remain calm so that she could show to him that she won't waver with his action. "Ceh! You are really thinking highly of yourself, don't you?! For your information, I didn't miss you at all." She said confidently. "Please let me go."

"I won't let you go unless you admit it."

She gently pushed his chest to escape from his embrace. "Please let me go. I have to go back to company now."

"Why are you so rushed? Your company won't get any loss just because you are not there for a while."

"That's not what I meant! I'm dead if my dad found out that I'm not in the office during this working hours!"

"Then, do you want me to call your dad?" I'll tell him you are meeting with me about the colloboration project between our company."

"Yah, I'm serious!"

"I'm serious too!" This time, Hyunjoong shortened the distance between their face by drawing his face closer to hers. Their nose almost touched and now, they could even felt each other's breath. "Are you sure you don’t miss me?"

Tiffany was taken aback with his action that she lost her words. Nothing came across her minds as her heartbeat just continuously raised. In fact, she couldn't even push him away as it seemed like she had even lost control on how she felt right now. They both just silently looked at each other with gentle stare as gradually Hyunjoong kept drawing his face closer to hers after making sure each step that he took, there was no rejection from Tiffany.

With their lips were just about to touch, suddenly they heard a sound of the door was opened that they immediately pulled away from each other. As Tiffany only sat at the side of the bed also with Hyunjoong already let go of her, she eventually fell from the bed. "OUCH!!!"

Key looked at them with his jaw dropped, still being in disbelief of what he was seeing as he never expected that Hyunjoong would recover that fast. Bringing Tiffany here was the right choice, she was indeed the cure for him. At the same time, he looked so excited. "I'm really~ sorry for appearing at such a bad timing! I'll immediately leave you guys alone." He said playfully. Both of them looked very embarrassed. Hyunjoong just gave a stiff grin as Tiffany still looked in pain due to the falling. Key closed the door back while letting out a teasing laughter.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry~" He grabbed her hand to help her to get up while chuckling happily.

"Aish!" Tiffany glared Hyunjoong while rubbing her where she felt the pain due to the falling.

"It really hurt?" He innocently asked as he tried to turn her around like he was going to take a look at where she felt hurt.

"Yah!!!" She burst into anger and hit him lightly with her handbag. "This is your fault!"

"Wh... why, why?" He asked while chuckling as he was just to happy to see her being so cute when losing her temper. "Be gentle, I'm a patient remember?" He pouted his lips cutely like a kid.

"Ah, seriously... you are more than fine now! Why do you have to do..." She paused for a while, trying to find a suitable word. "I, I mean that... we have been caught in that situation two times!" She referred the almost similar situation in her office when Nicole saw them. "Ah, really embarrassing!!" She covered her face with her hands. Hyunjoong just laughed as he found she was so cute. "Why?!" She looked very annoyed. "Do you think all of this were just a joke for you?! I'm warning you... If you do that one more time, you're dead, get it?!"

"What are you so scared about? Because I made you heart pounding? Because you are worried that your lie would be revealed? Worrying that I know your real feelings?"

Tiffany looked obviously quite shocked like she had been caught red handed. "N... no, that isn't the case! I just dislike it, ok?! Now, we are strangers, we don't have special relationship anymore! Everyone dislike if a stranger touching her just like that!" She still made an excuse which of course Hyunjoong won't believe of.

"I told you I won't accept the fact that we have broken up like you always thought. So, we aren't strangers!"

Tiffany sighed. "I'm just wasting my time with you. I have to go now!" She said while slightly raising her voice.

"Alright, see you this evening!" He replied happily.

"Ceh, what do you mean by evening?" She rolled her eyes. "We won't see each other again until our next meeting, ok?!" She said angrily before leaving his room. Hyunjoong just chuckled seeing her reaction.

Seeing Tiffany came out from Hyunjoong's room, Key asked excitedly as he got up. "So, how was it? Is there any progression?"

"Yah, next time don't ever call me again about him! I don't care whether he is sick or not!!!" Tiffany said angrily to Key before closing the door loudly which produced a loud 'BAM' sound.

Key looked very shocked with his eyes went bigger due to this unexpected situation. He turned his head towards Hyunjoong who also came out from his room. "Sir, what did you do for her to be like that?" Key asked in astonishment. Hyunjoong just gave him a silly grin with shrug as a reply. "Aigoo, girls are so scary~"
