#13 Again And Again

Mingyu's POV:

She stepped out from her building and people started to shout at her. Reporters barged around her but luckily, there are tons of security.

"How dare you!"

"Corrupt!"

"User!"

"Fake!"

Tzuyu gave them a chuckle. An insulting one.

In just a split second, her once smiling face turned into a cold one. Her eyes got darker as her face can't be read.

"Aren't you guys tired?" the cameras continued to click.

"Do you even have evidence to support your claims?" she asked. The crowd stayed silent. For sure, they don't have one.

With just one step, the people already went backwards.

"I, Chou Tzuyu, the owner of the Chou Tao Enterprises Airlines, have nothing to do with the rumors."

"How can you be so sure that you didn't do it?" one reporter asked her.

"Because I am Chou Tzuyu. I am myself and I know what is right and wrong. If I did something bad, I will accept my mistake in front of everyone."

She's really brave. She's not like others who hides too many secrets from the public. She's just who she is, and maybe that's why I'm falling for her.

Huh?!

I blinked multiple times to shook all of my crazy thoughts.

"You liar!" one men said. The time seemed to move so fast that he already threw an egg at her head.

She closed her eyes but her body froze.

"Ms. Chou, are you okay?" I ran beside her as I hold both of her shoulders.

Time stopped. The slow motion starts, as she slowly opened her eyes with complete shock.

For the first time, her eyes became teary. As a strong woman, I know she wouldn't want the world to know that she's weak, that she's not really strong.

Without any words, I took off my coat and put it around her, covering her face from the crowd. She didn't do anything but lowered her head, hiding from them.

The people starts throwing different things at her. Eggs, flour, but some people are so courageous that they even threw hard objects at her. I covered her and let the objects be thrown at me. At least, security helped us in even little ways.

"Excuse me." I didn't waste time as we walked towards her car that is always ready for her.

"Get inside." she followed my order. I immediately went to the driver seat and asked permission to take her home.

As I sat down and locked the door, I saw her in the mirror; staring straight, blankly.

The crowd are slowly chasing us so I immediately stepped on the gas with full speed.

Until we've reached at her house, I didn't stopped looking at her in the mirror. She was emotionless in the process.

I got out from the car an opened her door. For our faces to meet, I kneeled beside her.

"Are you okay?"

And that's when her tears finally fell. She then put her head on my shoulder.

"I'm not okay."

Mina's POV:

"I thought your work will start next week?" Mom asked she changed the channel.

"Mollaseo. They told me that I can start today." I grabbed my new bag and kissed my mom's forehead.

"By the way, who will take care of you? Is Ma going to look after you?"

"Yes, she will arrive in a minute."

"Okay. Stay safe mom. Goodbye."

"Bye dear! Goodluck on your first day."

Riding the bus with my simple coat is my routine everyday. I got out from the bus as soon as I saw the shop.

Lee Pastry.

I went inside and the people there are friendly. As soon as they received my name, my training starts right away.

I got dressed with my new uniform. I wore an apron and a toque and then I went to the table that was assigned to me.

"Now that we are all settled, let me introduce myself," I looked at the women in front of us.

Wait, By any chance...

"I'm Son Naeun, the owner of Lee Pastry. I'm so greatful that you guys are accepted in my shop." she smiled beautifully, making all the boys to stare at her in awe.

Son Naeun. I finally got to know her name. Of course, I know her. She's the one that Wonwoo was supposed to marry. The one that bought Gucci for him, while I only made cupcakes. The one that I thought she looks like a model. And the one that is effortlessly beautiful just by seeing her once.

"Today, you will be guided by me as you start your training. Let's start."

"Yeppeo." I mumbled.

"Pretty dangerous." the girl that I'm sharing a table with whispered.

"What?" I looked at her. She's tall and pretty actually.

"She's nice but if she doesn't like something, you'll suffer a lot." she talked like a mother reading a fairytale at her child.

"How do you know?"

"I've been working here for years. I know everything. I'm Jeongyeon by the way."

"Mina." we shooked our hands and smiled.

We grabbed all the equipments and started to follow the procedures. I was focused on my work when Jeongyeon unnie cleared her throat. I looked straight and Naeun was already in front of me.

"I see. We meet again." she smiled. I can't tell if it's really genuine or fake.

"Yes, we meet again." I lowered my head.

"You're really good at your first day." she peeked at what I am doing.

"Oh-ah thanks?" I was confused that I don't know what to say. I mean, when you meet someone who is friendly, they literally show how friendly they are. You then felt at ease with them. But when I met Naeun, there's something kinda off about her. Tension is created whenever you're facing her. Molla. I just don't know.

"Continue what you guys are doing." she smiled and soon walked away.

Jeongyeon unnie rolled her eyes out of annoyance.

I was about to focus on what I am doing, but someone seems to stare at me. I looked at the door and I saw him.

He found me.
