seventeen

The next morning soon arrived shortly after as Hyunsuk was still trying to adjust to living in his new apartment which doesn't take a lot of time since it was much fancier and lovelier than his older one. He stretched his body and made his way towards the kitchen where he realized he didn't have much food in the fridge yet. He forgot to go grocery shopping since he had been following Mina around like nonstop.

As if someone was spying on him, a phone call woke him up even more from his tired slumber as he stared at the screen with a shiver growing the back of his neck. He answered it quietly and tried to pretend that he was still sleepy, "Yes?"

"Good, you're awake! Come by my office for some breakfast."

The speaker hung up as Hyunsuk groaned under his breathe as he felt like he was in a relationship with both Mina and Bomin as the male ordered him to do so. A text message arrived briefly after which Bomin sent him his Secretary so that he would track him arriving. He quickly dressed into a simple outfit with a black button up and khaki slacks which Mina helped pick out from the department store.

He made his way outside of the apartment as a flood of reporters started to run towards him with cameras and microphones being pushed into his face. The male was quite astonished as he muttered that he wished he knew about the backlash from the public as every reporter was asking about his name and his relationship.

Bomin's secretary rushed towards the surprised latter as he helped him escape the sea of reporters and into the car. The secretary resumed to quickly drive away so that the reporters would stop chasing after the pair as Hyunsuk clutched onto his chest as he was very shocked from what just took place. The secretary turned his attention towards Hyunsuk for a few seconds before he chuckled with amusement, "Your life is going to be a crazy circle from now on."

Bomin hummed with excitement as he clapped his hands silently and excitingly multiple times as Hyunsuk revealed the terror he felt from the morning. They were both eating at the hotel's restaurant as Bomin was staring his laptop on the side as he was also doing his own work. Hyunsuk stared at his watch before realizing that he should probably make his way over to class now since he didn't want to be late. 

Bomin stopped him from leaving as he chuckled, "Don't need to head to class today." 

"I've missed class for a few days now.." 

"Everything is covered. Your professor seems to really appreciate the gift you sent him."

"What gift?" 

Bomin acted as if he didn't hear Hyunsuk as he continued to sip some coffee as he stared his computer. Hyunsuk thought to himself quietly as he realized that Bomin must have bribed Hyunsuk's professors because none of them marked him absent yet. The skill and the techniques that Bomin held; he really had Hyunsuk wrapped around his finger.

"Then what's your plan for me today?" 

"Getting a date planned for you and Mina..you think of an idea and you take her. The secretary is yours today." 

Bomin's secretary stood close by the pair as they finished their breakfast as a phone call rang through Hyunsuk's dying phone. Bomin rolled his eyes and called out to his secretary, "Make sure to get his phone fixed up too with the newest model. It's sickening to see such an old phone." 

Hyunsuk ignored what the other was saying as Mina was on the other end with an exciting laugh that makes him even more uncomfortable, "Heard that you and Bomin are meeting right now. Hope you got a great plan for the date. We need to go somewhere public."

Hyunsuk's stomach turned slightly as the two rich people are literally making him sick from his own food. He coughed a little before replying with a nervous laugh, "Yeah, I'm thinking of a place." 

"Well hurry since I'm waiting for you to pick so that my outfit would match the place."

Hyunsuk stared out towards the view from the hotel as the perfect idea popped into his head. "I got a great idea." 


"The best idea that you thought was fucking Namsan Tower?!" 

Mina angrily yelled at the other as they both stood in the parking lot below the tower. Hyunsuk smiled as he stuffed his hands inside his coatpockets as he replied with a tease, "Oh why not? It's a romantic place with a lot of attention from the media." 

"But, it's so far up and it's annoying. I don't want people to think my outfit looks bad with the scene." 

Hyunsuk raised his eyebrow as he scanned Mina's outfit once more as she was over dressed for the occasion: black fur puffer jacket with light wash jeans, thigh-high boots, a black beret, and a Chanel bag. She really would pop out within a group of students and single people. Hyunsuk rolled his eyes quietly before replying back emotionlessly, "You look great. Now come on...gotta wait in line." 

Mina laughed loudly as if the word "line" was an unknown term for her. She continued to laugh as Hyunsuk stared at her confusingly as he impatiently tapped his foot against the pavement. But he continued to remain a straight face which actually made Mina stop laughing as she widened her eyes at the line getting longer as they made their way inside. She angrily whispers into Hyunsuk's ear as she whined, "I, Kang Mina, never once waited in line for something." 

Hyunsuk replied back with an eyeroll, "Well, today is your lucky day."

"I won't tolerate it." 

Mina tried to cut ahead through some amount of couples but they all angrily grumbled at her which forced Hyunsuk to draw her back into their original place in line. He held her hand continuously as he smiled down at her with a forced grin, "It'll be fine. Don't worry." 

"I hate waiting." 

Mina's complaints continued to take place as the line kept getting closer to the front. She soon stopped as they were the next pair to enter the cable car as the security guards let them enter after a few minutes. She carefully walked inside the cable car as she held tightly onto Hyunsuk's arm as she was afraid of moving inside. He assured her that everything was alright as the car started to move once a few more people entered into the available space with them. A few recognized who Mina was as she continued to make a small scene of trying to get out of the car. 

Hyunsuk finally got a hold of her as he led her towards one of the handles on the side so that she can grab onto it without fear of the cable car moving against the wind. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms through her available space between her arms and the side bars as he stood close behind her. He tried to get her distracted from the dizziness as they stared out towards the beautiful view of the city below them with big, elegant trees that decorated the tower's mountain. Mina forgot about how the wind was literally making the cable car move as she smiled without knowing as she stared up to look at Hyunsuk. 

He glanced back down at her without a thought as they stared at each other for a few moments before Mina turned her head away due to the growing warmness in her cheeks. Hyunsuk turned his attention away from the other as well since he felt something weird tug inside his chest as he was constantly reminded that he needed to use her in order to help himself and Bomin. It was never felt right.
