MINA'S POV

I stood up and told Sorn that I must go. I don't want to stay in such a place like this because I might see Noodle Boy again. I don't mind calling him by the nickname that I made for him. That 'Jimin' name is too handsome for him to carry a name like that. His face must be nice, but his attitude isn't. I really thought that he's very different from most of the guys I've met, but I guess he's just the same. Maybe this is the kind of situation where I can apply the saying, "All men are the same." Gosh, they really are.

Once I stepped out of the café, I saw Jimin and Seulgi having a heated up conversation on a side. A lot of people are eyeing them, to be honest, but I guess they don't care at the moment since their emotions are eating them up in such times like this.

I won't deny the fact that I'm one of the factors why Seulgi acted like that while me and Noodle Boy are yelling at each other. She just lost it and decided to escape from us, but Noodle Boy started all of it. If he didn't yell at me, I won't yell back at him. He's such an ass.

I sighed and escaped from that place. I went straight back to Bambam's unit and decided to stay there. I guess I have to rest my throat for a while since it got itchy after that scene with Noodle Boy. As soon as I laid my back on his couch, my phone rang, so I took and answered it.

"Yes?" I tiringly asked once I picked up the call.

"Mina!" Both of my eyebrows raised when I heard Hyorin unnie's voice over the phone.

"Oh, yes, unnie?"

"We have another girl later."

"Girl?" My eyebrows furrowed when she mentioned it. So we're going to accept another harlot in our place?

"Yep. She's a new recruit and she's a year older than you."

"So she's 19?" She hummed a yes. I can't believe that another young girl would risk her life and dignity by applying in such work like this. "So I still have to call her unnie?"

Hyorin unnie chuckled. Seems like she's in a perfect mood today. "She's Japanese and I guess you two are the same age back in Japan?"

"Really?" I got more curious when she mentioned that the new girl is actually Japanese as well. I don't know if this is fate or what. "Seems like fate."

"I know right."

"Unnie, where are you?" I asked out of the blue. Maybe she's with Daniel, but I guess she's mad at him because he touched me and still not over that thing.

"I'm with a friend. Kind of Staying with his place for a while." She answered, but as much as I can remember, she was taken home by some random guy customer the other night.

"Daniel?"

"No, not that asshole." I sighed because of relief. I'm glad that she decided not to stay with him anymore. Even though he's very rich, I won't stay with him. "High school friend."

"That's good." I said as I nod my head slightly and slowly. I laid back again the couch and pouted. I want to tell things to Hyorin unnie. I wanted to tell her how was my day and all, but I don't know why I'm hesitating. Maybe because I'm not the type of person to approach them first. I'm still kind of shy towards unnie.

"So...you coming to the party?"

"Party for what?" I asked with my brows crossed hard. I can't remember that she mentioned something like that earlier. She just told me about some new recruit and that she's staying with an old friend.

"You know, a little party for the new recruit. We did that when you were new here, remember?" Oh yes, I can remember what she said. They held this little gathering of all the harlots of the place and partied. I guess it's a tradition. "We'll welcome her later night. You comin'?"

"Sure. Aren't we going to do anything later?" I'm not sure if we have work later night because I wasn't informed if there's none or what.

"Okay then! See you later. Bring in someone to be your date!"

"But unnie--"

"No partner, no party. Tata!" She then hung up so quickly. I rubbed my hands against my face because of mixed emotions. I actually don't know who should I bring or what. I don't have any guy friends except for Bambam--

Oh.

I quickly dialled Bambam's number and hoped that he will actually answer the call. Thankfully, he did. As soon as he picked it up and said hello, I greeted back and sighed deep.

"Bambam, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, sure, but make it fast. There are many customers coming." I can feel that he's whispering because of his voice. It's kind of airy.

"Oh yes. This is just quick." I told him. "I'll go to a party later night and I'm just wondering if you could be my partner. I can't come if I don't have a date." I was closing my eyes when I said that because I'm really hoping that he'd agree with my little favor.

"Aw, I'm sorry I have to reject your offer." My shoulders fell and I heaved a short and disappointing sigh. "Sorn and I will be going to Thailand later night. We'll visit our parents back."

"Oh, is that so?" He hummed a yes. "It's okay. Thanks, Bam." I smiled and hung up. I looked at my phone and thought of my guy friends that will go with me. I have my guy friends' phone numbers from middle school, but they didn't know that I turned up like this. I will surely feel embarrassed if they knew my state.

I called Hyorin unnie to tell her that I haven't found someone to be my date, so it's a negative that I might be going to that welcoming party that she and the seniors arranged.

"Is that so?" She sighed and I hummed a yes to reassure her. It took her a long moment before saying anything again. "I have someone to invite as your date."

"Isn't that embarrassing because he'd knew that I'm a call girl?" I asked her and bit my lower lip as I wait for her response.

Her tone became bright, "This guy won't know, okay? Leave it all to me."

"Okay, then." I have my trust on Hyorin unnie. If I'd ever meet that guy tonight, I won't hang out with him since he's a stranger--except if he'll talk to me first in a nice way. And by nice, I mean that he's not that nice-like maniac. I want that guy to be genuinely kind. "Thanks, unnie."

"No worries. I'll make it sure that you'll like him." I giggled upon hearing her statement. "I'll text you the address later. Make sure to wear something nice and pretty, Minari."

"I'll check out some." I told her. I can imagine that she just nodded since she hummed me a yes. I decided to hang up the call and go to shower. But before showering, I went to a quick nap first.

I looked at myself through this body mirror that Bambam has. He already went home and he's packing some of his things since his flight for Thailand is at 9 PM. He and Sorn will meet at the airport, so he's kind of cramming at the moment. It's already 5 PM, though.

"Mina, you look good in that fitted dress." Bambam's eyes and mine met through the mirror's reflection. I mouthed him a thank you and faced him. "By the way," he took something from his pocket and passed it to me. "Can you be a sitter at my place while I'm gone? It'll just be 3 days."

"No problem." I nodded and placed the keys of the unit inside my purse. "I'll be heading now."

"Let's go together since I'm ready to go already." I nodded and we both exited his unit.

HYORIN'S POV

"Jooyoung hyung, why do I have to wear a tuxedo?!" I heard that little guy's grunts as soon as he stepped inside the place. Jooyoung just laughed at him while I let out a soft giggle. It's been a while since I last saw him. Well, I think it's just been yesterday night when he met Mina.

"Good thing you agreed to go." I told him and made a sincere smile. Maybe he doesn't remember me even though I performed the night he came. He pouted and sat on one of the stools here. "What's your name, kid?"

"Park Jimin." He then glared at Jooyoung. "Hyung forced me to go here because I'm suppose to be someone's date for tonight."

"Oh yeah, I actually asked him if he knows some guys and then he asked you, I guess." I smirked.

"He's broken because his girlfriend broke up with him yesterday." Jooyoung explained and all I could do was to nod. We then saw figures of people walking towards us. Moonbyul, Solar and the others together with their partners started walking towards here except the newbie and Mina.

"Where's the maknae?" I asked them. Just like the three of us, they're wearing elegant clothes. Quite formal, tho.

"She's coming in a few." Solar smiled at me and sat on the stools as well. We all greeted each other and by that moment, I saw Mina running towards our direction.

"Wow, she's super pretty with that dress." Dasom's mouth is shaped like an oval at the moment because of amazement.

"Where the heck did she buy that? That's expensive!" Soyou gaped and we all just watched her running towards us. I noticed Jimin not facing her, maybe because he's completely uninterested.

"I'm sorry for running late." I saw how Jimin's eyes widened and then he quickly turned his head to look at Mina. Their eyes slowly met each other and their reactions are just too priceless.

"What the fuck?!"
