Cinderella - Apink Eunji

3.

-6AM-

Cindy's P.O.V:

My parents are standing in front of me, opening their arms for a hug, and I fall into their arms, weeping.

"I miss you so much!" I cry hysterically. My dad pats my back.

"Jin Hee, stop pretending to be someone you really aren't." He says in a quiet voice. I shake my head. I can't possibly end all this now. My better life just began.

"Jin Hee!" My parents call at me as I run away. The sound of my name echoes as I run farther and farther into a bright light.

I suddenly sit up in bed. It was all a dream.

"CINDY! CINDY!" I hear whispers at the door. Minwoo scurries to sit next to me in bed. I rub my eyes and grab my phone.

"What are you doing at six in the morning on a Saturday?!" I groan. As bright as ever, he grabs my hands.

"I may sound selfish, but I still have hope! Chorong texted me saying she broke up with Woohyun!" He smiles. I give him a fake smile. Well, what can I do? He loves someone else. But what did Chorong mean when she said he wanted to spend time alone with me? I guess that was just a misunderstanding.

"Hooray." I try to sound happy but fails. He's too excited he doesn't even realize I'm faking my happiness. He grabs my hands even tighter and moves closer to me.

"The reason I came in here is because...I need your help."

"For what?"

"I need you to help me win Chorong's heart."

"WHAT?!" How did I get myself involved in this??

For the next few hours we discuss a plan.

-10AM-

"I'm calling her! Give me her number!" I dial a number Minwoo shows me on his phone.

"Hi Chorong-sshi! It's Cindy. Do you want to go eat out with Minwoo and I?" I say to Chorong on the phone as I lie on my queen size bed next to Minwoo. He listens quietly for her reponse.

"Uhh..sure. Mind if I bring my brother?" She says after a moment of silence. I glance at Minwoofor confirmation. He nods.

"Sure. See you at the coffee shop next to Minwoo's house at 11:30." I hang up. Minwoo puts up his hand for a high five. I hesitate before touching his hands again. My heart starts to race as he gives me a cute smile.

"Now let's get ready. I need you to help me look good." He hops off the bed. I do the same.

"Can't you get your butler to help you like always?" I ask. He pouts.

"Of course not. He's not a female. Please get ready quickly and go to my room. I'll be waiting." He gives me a wink and walks out my room. I plop on my bed in a daze. Is this really happening?

After putting on my makeup and finding an outfit to wear thanks to suggestions from Google, I make my way to Minwoo's room. I charge in without knocking on the door-which is the wrong choice. I gasp as soon as I see Minwoo's half naked body. Oh my he has nice abs! He turns around from his body length mirror in shock.

"Yah! I'm not ready. Make yourself comfortable. I'll be back." He scurries into his washroom in seconds. My heart starts racing again.

-AN HOUR LATER-.

"You look good in everything! Just choose a random outfit already!" I groan and cross my arms. Minwoo tried on every single outfit he has in his luxurious walk in closet. He pouts.
