“Wahh that was delicious. As expected from you Tao!”Lu Han compliment his friend cooking skill. When all of them finished eating dinner, all of them went to the living room to have some chat. Bo Mi is not as happy as them. After Ji Ah set her foot on her house, she didn’t smile after all. She make a long face all of the time. It’s a good thing that Lu Han is a senseless man. Up until now he didn’t realize that Bo Mi was really annoyed about Ji Ah presence.

“Did you all want some hot chocolate perhaps? I’ll go make it.” Bo Mi already get up from there and went to the kitchen to make some hot chocolate. Tao then follow her, leaving Lu Han and Ji Ah at the living room.

“Need help?”

“Ah it’s okey! I can do it by myself.”

Bo Mi tried to get the the packet but it was placed in the highest cabinet. With her height she couldn’t reach it.

“Should I take it for you?”

“Yes please.”

At last she had to give up and letting Tao to take it out. It’s not a big problem for him because he was soo much taller than her.

“Oh it’s just instant? I think you are going to make it in traditional way.”

“I’m not that genius to make it by myself! Just go away now ert!”she pushed him away from her, afraid that he will do something to her again.

“If I go now you will be lonely here, should I go?”

“Yes!”

“Pretty sure?”

“I won’t take back my word! Just go!”

Tao then walked back to the living room. After she make sure that Tao already gone, Bo Mi then poured hot water into the cup and stir each of it.

“Should I put some salt into his cup?”she murmuring to herself. Perfect plan to get her revenge on him.

Bo Mi then put one spoon of salt into Tao cup and stir it again so he won’t notice.

“It’s revenge time! Let see if you can bear with this in front of your friend.”

 Properly, she put it on the tray and carried it to the living room.

“Ah you all must be waiting for me.”

“Yeay it’s hot chocolate!”Lu Han quickly take the cup that supposedly Bo Mi give to Tao. In a dash, she grab Lu Han arm.

“Ahh…that cup..I made it a ‘little’ bit special to Tao.”she smile to Lu Han. It was a relief that Lu Han didn’t drink it yet.

“Sorry. I thought all of it was same. You are lucky Tao. Get special service. T.T”

Bo Mi take the cup and give it to Tao who was sitting next to her and with a wide smile. Tao was kind of weird with her. She never been so much nice toward him.

“Thank you honey.”

“You are welcome.”she still smiling at him, hoping he will quickly drink it.

“But..I think I should drink it later.”he put it back on the glass coffee table. Bo Mi make a sulking face and purposely she let Lu Han see her being 'sad'. She confident enough that Lu Han will make him drink it no matter what.

“Yah Tao! That is not very gentlemen! Bo Mi put her effort to make it for you but you didn’t even taste it. Hurry up drink it a little.”

Bo Mi was happy to have Lu Han backing her up.

“Come on hurry up Panda. Drink it.”

Tao stare at her. Strange. But he put aside his feeling and drink it. As soon as the hot chocolate touch his tongue, he can already taste the saltiness of the ‘special’ hot chocolate. His hand already clenched in fist, trying to endure it and drink it in one shot.

“Woahh! Is it that good Tao? You drink it in one go!”Lu Han feel  impressive toward Tao.

Tao face was seamy.

“That’s very good of you oppa. Should I make another one for you?”Bo Mi even blinking her eyes to Tao.

“No no no. it’s okey. One cup is enough.”he refuse. If he drink another one, when he woke up in the morning, he might be in coffin already.

Bo Mi was statisfied. At last she can make him pay for what he had done to her. But then, Bo Mi notice that Ji Ah was not around them.

“Lu Han, where is Ji Ah?”

“Ji Ah? She went to the bathroom just now. Maybe her stomach was upset. Before we come here, she keep pressing her stomach and saying that she feel uncomfortable and want to vomit. Maybe because she skip her meal again. She always like that.”

“Vomit? That very unusual for her.”

“Maybe I should go take a look at her now.”Lu Han get up but Bo Mi stop him and make him sit back.

“You just stay here. I go take a look at her. Maybe it was…you know..women problem. Isn't it better for me to go look at her.”

Lu Han just nodded and let Bo Mi to see her. Bo Mi took painkiller pill in her first-aid box and knock the door.

“Ji Ah opened up the door!”

“What with her now?!”Ji Ah say by herself.

Ji Ah opened the door and walked out from the bathroom, ignoring Bo Mi there.

“You! Wait there!”

“What is it Yoon Bo Mi? Lets not quarrel here okey? If you really hate me being here, don’t worry. I’ll be going now.”

Before Ji Ah make another step, Bo Mi already reach out her hand and grab Ji Ah, making her to face Bo Mi.

“Yah! What is wrong with you Bo Mi?!”

“Look I don’t really like to get myself into someone’s business especially my biggest enemy, but I notice you are really weird today.”

Ji Ah just smirk and stare at her hatefully.

“What is weird with me?”

“I believe once you say you didn’t ate mushroom to me? But today you ate it. Is it that great that Tao the one who cooked it?”

Ji Ah bit her lip. She too didn’t know why she really want to eat something that she never ate in her life. But she keep herself cool in front of her.

“Yes. It is really that great that I can make myself ate it.”

“You are fat liar Ji Ah. Lu Han say you keep vomiting today. You skip meal? This 3 years I work in the same agency as you, you never tend to vomit even you skip a meal.”

“Don’t act like you know me well Bo Mi. You and I never get along. Never on the same path. And how did you manage to know that I never vomit when I skip a meal? You never know me Bo Mi. ”

Bo Mi carve a fake smile at her and handed her the painkiller she brought for her.

“I don’t like to think bad about you Meng Ji Ah,but if possible, keep yourself away from consume the painkiller anymore and go have a check up at the hospital soon okey? I think you know what I mean.”

Bo Mi then just left her in confussion. But what Bo Mi say to her was true.

“What the hell is wrong with me?”

“Are you okey Ji Ah?”Lu Han asked, worried about her.

“It’s nothing. I already take a painkiller just now."she lied to him. After what Bo Mi say , she didn't take the painkiller that Bo Mi gave to her.

"Before I forgot, mom asked me to give you this Tao.”

Ji Ah opened her handbag and take out one folded card with white and pink colour. She handed it to him.

“Invitation card. My mom going to open her 30th jewelry store in Korea. Come by if you are not busy. There will be bidding too. I know you are bidding mania right?”

“Bidding? Who is this guy? Does he have that much money to go bidding?”Bo Mi asked to herself.

“It’s been a long time since I met your mother. But the bidding must be about jewelry right? I’m not interested for that kind of stuff. Can I bring Bo Mi too?”

Bo Mi was shocked. She never expect Tao to take her to such a glorious ceremony that was attended by many wealth people.

“No need to take me Tao. I not even fit to go such ceremony. You can go by yourself.”Bo Mi say, humble.

“What are you talking about Bo Mi. I too not very that rich. Both of us can be a pauper there Bo Mi.”Lu Han laugh, trying to appeal Bo Mi.

“It's okey Yoon Bo Mi. You too are invited to go there. I hear that you really like the collection from Tiffany & Co if I not wrong. Come and see it. Even I think you are not suitable to participate in the bidding. Having a close look of it would be honor for you right?”Ji Ah insult her.

Bo Mi was really pissed by what she talk to her. Ji Ah always look down on her just because she come from a poor family.

“Ah oppa should we go now? It’s already late.”Ji Ah cling her hand to Lu Han arm.

“Already? I’m so sad Bo Mi. I had to leave you now. Sometimes come and hang out with me okey?”Lu Han hold her hand, tightly.

“Yah Lu Han! Where do you think you put your hand to? Bo Mi is my girlfriend!”Tao smack his hand and make him released Bo Mi. Bo Mi just giggling seeing Tao was jealous over Lu Han.

After that Lu Han and Ji Ah take their leave. Ji Ah could even hugged Tao in front of Bo Mi before she leaved. Bo Mi just pretended not to see it. It’s really not Ji Ah if she didn’t pissed her off in one day.

“They were a happy couple huh?”

“What are you trying to say Huang Zi Tao?”

Tao just grin at Bo Mi.

“Should we be happy like them? Let’s us date. For real. Not acting like this.”

“I won’t date you even in thousand years Tao.”she walked back into her house leaving him behind. But Tao follow her inside the apartment.

“Why did you follow me?”

“Now what? I couldn’t follow you?”

“This is my house and you go back to your own house!”she point her finger to Tao.

“I thought you gonna let me sleep here tonight”

“In your dream Panda!”

Immediately she pushed Tao out from her house and she slammed the door closed. Tao take out his phone and type a message to Bo Mi.

“0.0 = Sleep well dear. Dream of me <3 “

“\(‘ ‘)/ = Get lost from here already -. .-“ “

Tao then walked downstair and drive his car back to his house.

"Icy women really not easy to melt."

Next morning..

Today Bo Mi got a call from her boss saying it was an emergency and stuff. She wondering what happen to him that he wanted to see her so eagerly. When she arrive at the front of her boss room, she knocked the door.

“Yes yes come in!”

Bo Mi opened the huge door and went in. She then saw one tall women in that room too. The women just smiling brightly to her.

“Why did you want to see me, boss? I didn’t do anything wrong nowadays.”

“What? Did I always called you here just when you make a problem out there.”

“Yes you are.”Bo Mi say in low voice.

“What do you say Yoon Bo Mi? I can’t hear you!”

“Nothing boss. Nothing at all!”

“Really? Then meet So Ra. She gonna be your manager now.”her boss introduced Bo Mi to the young beautiful lady that she saw just now.

“My name Kang So Ra.”she stretch out her hand to shake with Bo Mi. But unfortunately Bo Mi just ignored her.

“Yoon Bo Mi.”she answer her, coldly.

“Now now Bo Mi. That really mean of you. You should greet her more nicer. She going to live with you from now on. All of your schedule will be arranged by her.”

“But Boss, I don’t think I need manager anymore. I could live by myself. Don’t expect me to treat her like Se Kyung unnie.”

“I never mention to you to replaced Se Kyung with her. But you really need one manager to help you out. You got many work to do. Who else going to take care of the other thing for you?”her boss try to win her heart.Bo Mi just keep silent and stare at So Ra hatefully.

“Mr. Hwang, I think you should replace me with someone else so that Miss Bo Mi can work more comfortable.”So Ra say to him. She know that Bo Mi didn’t like her just by looking the way she stare at her.

“No! I’m not going to change you with anyone else. Even if I change you with someone else, she never accept it anyway. Don’t be so stubborn Yoon Bo Mi!”Mr. Hwang become fury with her behavior.

“Whatever you say boss, I’m out of here.”slightly she bow at her boss and leave the room. She can't argue with her boss anymore. He wil become really mad at her if she stay there any longer. 

“So Ra, it’s going to take awhile for her to accept you. I hope you can endure with her. I know I can trust you to take care of her.”

“I will try my best boss.”So Ra feel burden. Could she last with Bo Mi when from the first day she going to work with her, Bo Mi already treat her that badly?

“Now go after her. Just ignored everything she do to you and just follow her okey?”

“I got it boss. Then, I take my leave first.”

Quickly she make her way to go after Bo Mi who already leave her behind.

“Bo Mi Bo Mi, just what is wrong with you? Se Kyung, please make her accept So Ra.”Mr. Hwang just murmuring by himself in his room. He can only hope that Bo Mi can get along with So Ra sooner or later.
