Chapter 17. Zhan - Hello Seo Joon!

Zhan is annoyed, very annoyed. From the first day he picked up his cousin from the train station, he actually only had peace from her when she was sleeping. But as soon as she opened her eyes, she bawled for him again. And the stress started all over again. On Wednesday afternoon, they picked up Seo Joon from the airport.

When he saw Zhan, he ran towards him a little faster, put his bag down and hugged him as a greeting.

And Zhan's cousin Xiao Lan shouted at the top of her lungs, "Get your hands off my ZhanZhan!!" All around them, they were all staring. Seo Joon was so terrified that he stood there ready to fight and almost kicked her in the face.

Then in the parking garage they had their first fight. It was about who should sit in the car next to Zhan.

Xiao Lan: He is my cousin, I have more rights than you.

Seo Joon: No way!

Xiao Lan: Besides, I'm prettier than you.

Seo Joon: Says who? Look at me, I'm very handsome and sexy!

Xiao Lan: ha-ha-ha as if Zhan would be impressed.

Seo Joon: Like you know what Zhan is into.

Xiao Lan: He likes me, or will soon, like this.

Seo Joon: I don't think so. You're not his type.

Xiao Lan: But you or what?

Seo Joon: Well, since you ask...

Zhan: Shut up, both of you! You are both sitting in the back and whoever dares to open his mouth must walk!

Both of them hissed at each other once more and then got into the car. Zhan already guessed that there would be a lot of joy coming towards him. They stopped at an Italian restaurant where they ordered spaghetti and pizza. And of course it didn't take long before both of them started their next argument about who knew more about Italian food. Which wine goes better with this meal. When is the best time for this meal and whose food tastes better. In the end, Zhan slapped the table, took away both their plates and told them if they didn't stop fighting, no one would get anything and they would have to go to bed hungry later.

Well and there Zhan had said something first. Forgotten was the argument about food and opened the fight for the place next to Zhan. Because a new fight arose about who was allowed to share the bed with Zhan. The relative or the good friend?

Xiao Lan: If anything, it's me who gets to sleep with Zhan.

Seo Joon: Because of our work we had to share the bed several times, so I am allowed to.

Xiao Lan: But I don't trust you. I don't like your look.

Seo Joon: What look? I always look like that!

Xiao Lan: Worse than that. Then everyone you look at thinks you want to kill him!

Seo Joon: Are you insane? I don't look like that at all!

Xiao Lan: Sure you do! Shall I show you my mirror?

Seo Joon: If I look like this, it's because you're annoying.

Xiao Lan: ZhanZhan, he says I annoy.

Seo Joon: Cry!

One of the waitresses looked at the three of them annoyed. "Ah, I'm sorry. They're off duty at the psychiatric hospital today. I should bring them back quickly so they can get their medication." Said Zhan. The waitress laughed out loud and with her, all the guests laughed too. Zhan had decided he would never visit this restaurant again. It was too embarrassing.

They went straight home to Zhan, where all three of them cleaned up, changed their clothes and then left again. The princess, however, didn't have anything to wear for the evening and so the two men had to take her to town to go shopping with her. After two hours of rushing from one shop to the next, Zhan and Seo Joon sat down at the table of a small bistro and took a break. Yes, Zhan could clearly see that Seo Joon was annoyed.

It took another hour and a half until Xiao Lan had finally found something that, in her opinion, looked good. Now, Zhan thought it might be arguable. Because she was wearing a pale red long dress that looked like it had been washed once too often. But he didn't want to say anything because he was afraid they would spend the rest of the day waiting to go out.

The waiting had a good one though, as Zhan finally had the opportunity to explain his current situation to Seo Joon. Or at all, everything that had happened since they last saw each other, years ago. And even then, Zhan couldn't tell him about Yibo. Because Seo Joon and another agent from Zhan's agency had been the victims of a kidnapping by a mentally ill terrorist. At that time, Seo Joon was still with Hae Jin. Zhan thought and hoped it would last with both of them, but unfortunately, it didn't. Anyway, at that time he didn't have the chance to tell him about Yibo and he made up for it when they were waiting for Zhan's cousin.

Seo Joon: So you did everything to have a good marriage, except one thing.

Zhan: Which one?

Seo Joon: To open your mouth a lot sooner and not let you take it all.

Zhan: Yeah I know.

Seo Joon: You know? I really don't understand you. You should have grabbed him and shook him, hit him in the face for my sake or just kept on hitting him until he finally understood.

Zhan: Yeah maybe.

Seo Joon: Not maybe! He deserved it. When do I get to know him?

Zhan: Meeting him was not planned. But I have to go to the Black Agency tomorrow and give him a information from the property manager. You could come and see him there.

Seo Joon: All right. And he better look good at least.

In the evening all three of them were in an exclusive club and spent a nice evening together. Every now and then Seo Joon and Xiao Lan got into a fight again, but mostly the evening was quiet and relaxed.

The next morning the three of them drove to the headquarters of the Black Agency, of course Zhan had gotten permission from his superior before. And actually it wasn't planned that Xiao Lan would come along, but she didn't let herself be stopped. Zhan introduced Yibo to both of them and then went with Yibo to his office to talk to him. He told him what the property manager said and tried to appear calm and cool. It hurt him to see Yibo like that, even more when he saw Yibo crying. But he could not give in. He must finally grow up and learn a lot. And only then would Zhan be ready to talk to him again about the future of their marriage.

After Zhan was back with the two of them, Seo Joon winked at him and whispered, "He really looks very cute." Zhan had to smirk.

Seo Joon: OK, I can understand why you like him.

Zhan: It's not just because of his looks.

Seo Joon: I know, I had a conversation with his trainer. Apparently he's a really good man who just has no experience in dealing with people.

Zhan: I guess so.

Seo Joon: So according to his trainer, he talks about you all the time. He thinks that your Yibo loves you very much.

Zhan knew what Special Agent Tao Long thought about Yibo. He was always kept up to date by him about Yibo.
