"You didn't tell me he was much better looking in person?  And he's hot!"  Me Su shot Lee Min Ho an admiring glance. "And he's headed this way."

"Quick.  How do I look?"  Me Su started straightening her skirt and fluffing her hair.

Shin Hye laughed.  "You look beautiful."  She did.  Me Su had that special glow that pregnant women had when they were happy and contented.

"Hur…it's not like he would even look at me with you around."  Me Su replied as she looked down at her protruding belly and giving it an affectionate pat.

Min Ho laughed to himself as he walked towards Shin Hye and her friend.  Her friend was straightening her skirt and fluffing her hair.  He was use to seeing women primp when he approached them.  He still finds it funny the way women reacted to his presence.  But, he had gotten use to it over the years.  

Shin Hye turned and gave him a shy smile, her eyes shining.  God, he had missed her.  He hadn't seen her in over 2 weeks.  All he wanted right now was to wrap his arms around her soft body, bury his face in her hair, and hold the world at bay.

After Busan, he had to fly to Shanghai for a CF shoot, then to New Zealand, and then Beijing for a series of fan meets.  When he got back he was either shooting a commercial or on the drama set.  Since he and Shin Hye did not have any scenes toghether in the first couple of episodes, they had not been at any sites together. 

"Hey beautiful.  Perhaps...did you miss me?"  Kim Tan was back.

Shin Hye rolled her eyes.  Oh lord, the flirty Min Ho was back.  She reached over and tapped his arm lightly.

"Ouch. What did I say that was wrong?"  Min Ho feigned injury, grabbing his arm where she tapped him.

"Stop it!" Shin Hye laughed into his face, shaking her head.  "You're a big fool."

"Let me introduce you to my friend."

Min Ho turned to Me Su and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Lee Min Ho."

 Gah...he was easily the most handsome man she had ever met.  "I'm Park Me Su.  I'm one Shin Hye's best friends."

"Nice to meet you Park Me Su."  Min Ho took her hand and shook it.  

"So you're Shin Hye's best friend?  Can I ask you a personal question?" He paused and winked at her. "Does Shin Hye snore when she sleeps? Just for future reference."  

That earned him a clobber from Shin Hye.

"I wasn't even talking to you." Min Ho gave her a pained expression as he was rubbing his arm. "I was trying to make conversation with your friend."

"What? That's not how you start a conversation with someone you have just met.  You're such a middle school kid." Shin Hye admonished him.  She was blushing like mad.

"Ok.  Let me try it again."  

Min Ho turned back to Me Su and gave her a sly wink.  "Nice to meet you Park Me Su.  So you're Shin Hye's best friend?"  He paused again. "Does Shin Hye look just  as beautiful when she's asleep? Just for future reference."  

That earned him two clobbers from Shin Hye this time.  They engaged in a playful back and forth about his manner, or lack thereof.
