twenty

Hyunsuk nervously wiped his hands against his pants as he stood outside Mina's office at Bomin's hotel. She wanted him to stop by so that she wouldn't have to leave work alone. It was getting more clear around the public that Mina was meeting a different man despite her supposed engagement to Bomin. Bomin didn't seem to care one bit since he found it exciting that everything was falling into plan. He also didn't mind working with Mina, despite the fact that he wants her to leave the industry altogether as his greed started to increase more and more.

Hyunsuk sighed to himself as he avoided the gazes and whispers from Bomin's workers who were wondering why he kept showing up at the hotel. Of course, he wouldn't want anyone to suspect that it was Bomin's plan all along. Mina's assistant let him in as he sighed heavily under his breathe.

Mina was not paying attention to him at all since she was busily preparing the files for her meeting that will be tomorrow afternoon. Hyunsuk quietly walked towards her as he was curious to what she was staring at, and she didn't seem to care at all. She glanced at him for a second before turning her attention towards the computer. He carefully stood behind her desk and quietly peered over her shoulder as he was staring at the designs that she was working on. The hotel needed some new symbols, and they placed that task on Mina.

She was not a design major at all, and she tried her best to figure out ways to make the symbols looks appealing which was very difficult to do. Hyunsuk widened his eyes as the mere details were now getting on his nerves. He wanted to help her out so he quietly moved his hand over her mouse which made Mina jump quietly without a thought.

She turned her head quietly as she realized that Hyunsuk's face was quite close to hers, but he was fully distracted on staring at the computer screen. She blinked a few times before feeling some warmth reach her cheeks. "What are you doing?"

"I'm a design major...just wanted to help you out."

He laid his hand over hers as he started to play with the mouse, and he was fixing the uneven lines that the symbol logo had. He also started to color in some shadings as he got this done within a mere two minutes. Mina wanted to remove her hand from the mouse, but she still wanted to have some control over her work as she commented things to trigger Hyunsuk to give up.

But every time she threw an unnecessary comment, he was able to fix it and perfect it within minutes. After they bickered for a bit, he let go of the mouse and took a step back to glance at the design once more. Mina couldn't also argue anymore since she as well was in awe of what he did within a few minutes. It really showed that he was an expert on the field of design.

Hyunsuk smiled gently as he winked at her with a tease, "So, got any more unnecessary complaints?"

Mina rolled her eyes and scoffed at him as she replied with an annoyed expression, "Ha..very funny. You should have been a comedian."

Hyunsuk shrugged his shoulders, and Mina saved the design before turning off the computer. She stood up to wear her cardigan as he teased her even more, "Well, you need to credit me for my work."

"Why would I?"

"What are you even talking about? I gave you my excellent work for free."

"I'm paying for lunch, so let's call that a deal."

Hyunsuk shook his head as he laughed quietly as Mina fixed her hair before they started making their way towards the lobby. Before they left the lobby, someone stopped him in his tracks as Hyunsuk froze for a few seconds as he was trying to figure out what was happening. Mina also stopped with him as she turned her head to where he was giving his whole attention to. "Are you okay?"

It went unheard as Hyunsuk felt the heat rise to his ears as a fist was starting to form behind his back. The attention that he was giving to the person he really didn't want to see, "Hyunsuk? Is that you?"

Mina was quite confused as Bomin was also standing next to the female as he gave a wickedly, amusing smirk to the whole situation. Bomin pretended that he didn't understand what was happening as he waved at Hyunsuk and Mina as Hyunsuk's head was filled with the most destructible memories.

He barely let out a weak response that seemed to make a lot more sense to Mina now, "Jisu."

"It's been a long time, Hyunsuk. Also...I'm not Jisoo. I'm Lia."

Bomin then interrupted the conversation as he responded with a smug expression, "Our new model at the hotel."

Mina barely bowed as Lia bowed towards the two as she also continued to stare back at Hyunsuk. Obviously, they both were still confused with the whole situation that was spiraling around them as Mina asked Hyunsuk for clarification, "You guys know each other?"

Hyunsuk then turned his attention towards Mina, completely ignoring the question as he quietly slipped his hand into Mina's which really caught her off guard. Bomin enjoyed the scene in front of him as he turned his head slightly to see Lia's expression darkening as she knew that Hyunsuk wanted to deny the fact that he even saw her today.

"Let's go get lunch. I'll pay this time."

He glared at Bomin with a despised look on his face as he knew that Bomin was using Lia to get him to get the deal done. He was his pawn. He already knew what Bomin was thinking about as he then dragged Mina out of the lobby as he placed her close next to him. Lia watched quietly as she remembered that expression when she first told him that she was not in love with him any longer.

She was his ex-girlfriend, and she did her best to ignore him.

But, she knew that the moment she laid her eyes on Hyunsuk again, it was going to be difficult to push herself out of that headspace quietly. Mina, in the midst of all this, followed Hyunsuk without much complaint and she felt her cheeks warming up brightly once more as his hand was tightly intertwining with her hand.
