Where You Are

Chapter 19 - You said I was troublesome

"Min-Joon, you're here" Ae-Ra said moving a strand of hair behind her ear. Look at her smiling and batting her eyes. Acting coy. I've always wanted to hit the bad guy on the face, now that I have the chance, I can't take it. It'll raise a lot of suspicions towards me if I do.

"Hello" I say, reaching my hand out to her "I'm Hannah" Ae-Ra gives me the fakest smile I have ever seen and looks back at Min-Joon.

"Who is this person?" she asks him. I lower my hand thinking to myself that this bitch forgot my face. She saw me yesterday, I interrupted their moment, I passed out right in front of them and she forgot all about me? This girl is really bad with faces or does she have memory problems? I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"This is Hannah, she'll be my secretary while Mr. Chang is away" Min-Joon answered. Ae-Ra nodded.

"Listen, about what happened yesterday" Ae-Ra stopped and glanced at me "Can you please give us a minute?" Although she asked me that with a scornful look on her face, she still said please so I decided to go upstairs. I'll wait for Min-Joon on the second floor. Suddenly he grabs ahold of my wrist and pulls me back. It's a miracle I didn't slip and fall.

"We have nothing to talk about since nothing happened" he said. I felt a sense of accomplishment. My appearance here was a good thing. Ae-Ra looked at my hand, which Min-Joon was holding. She glared at me. Probably jealousy but I'm a fill in secretary, and I want nothing to do with Min-Joon, she shouldn't be jealous of me.

Now that I think about it, during the last episode Min-Joon said "I can't love anyone." I'm sure there's going to be a plot twist, but I can't help his and Yu-Na's relationship, if I don't know what it is. I should list drama clichés on why the male lead can't be with the female lead. One of them is bound to be why.

"Now, if you'll excuse us" Min-Joon said to Ae-Ra. She nodded with a smile but I'm sure she was hurt. Although she's the bitch of the drama any girl would be hurt if the guy she likes treated her like Min-Joon just treated Ae-Ra.

He walked past her. In my case I bowed to her before I followed him. Of course, if I was watching the drama I would be happy but seeing this in person, it was just pitiful.

"What happened the other day?" I ask him. I need him to start opening up to me.

"Didn't you hear? Nothing" he said.

"It's easy to tell when you're lying" I said.

"Let's just take the elevator. Too many stairs for me"

We walk towards an elevator that rather than a button, it had a key. Min-Joon took the key from his pocket, placed it on the lock and the doors opened instantly. We walk inside and he presses the top button. This man has his own personal elevator. Then why in the hell did he plan to take the normal elevator? I look at him. Was he testing me?

"Where you…" I was about to ask him, but he seemed to catch on to my train of thought because he answered before I even finished my question.

"They were going to talk about you regardless, good and bad, mostly bad. I wanted to see how you'd react. I wondered if you'd even react. I planned on stepping in if you didn't" he paused "I had no idea you had a backbone" he starts to laugh "You cried in the bus because of what those students said to you but you defended yourself like a pro in here" he says. He doesn't need to laugh that much.

"Are you bullying me right now?" I ask him.

"You are just too easy to tease" he said "Very fascinating"

"I thought you said I was troublesome" I said. Min-Joon composes himself.

"That too" he says. I smile.
