UNFULFILLED PROMISE ; [윤정한 x 최승철]

PROMISE : Eleven

Jeonghan stopped crying. Seunghee made him realize that maybe he misunderstood what happened earlier.

At the moment of his realization, the person he wanted to see came with a big purple box on his hand and also two cup of drinks with a purple ribbon.

"Hannie.. can we talk?" Seungcheol asked, smiling lightly.

Jeonghan looked at him with swollen eyes. Seungcheol puts down the box and the drinks.

Jeonghan immediately stood up and ran towards him to hug him tight. "You bastard!" Jeonghan hissed as he's locked with Seungcheol's embrace.

"I'm sorry.." Seungcheol started to speak and caressed Jeonghan's hair. "I'm sorry for talking to her and making you feel this way. I'm sorry if I let her hug me. I'm sorry for everything until now." Seungcheol sincerely apologized.

"I really thought you're seeing her again." Jeonghan pouts. Seungcheol thought that he's the cutest whenever he does that.

"I feel like an outcast so I better give you guys some privacy." Seunghee acted like as if she's a teenager and left her own office for her son and his special someone.

"I love you." That's the only thing that Seungcheol responded with Jeonghan's spoken-thoughts.

"I hate you," Jeonghan sulked and Seungcheol chuckled.

"Here, I brought you cupcakes and a drink. That's the most expensive one in Nagyeol's shop." Seungcheol smiled in victory. He managed to make it up with Jeonghan.

"Give me the other drink too." Jeonghan pouts as he demands. Seungcheol shockingly releases from the hug. "T-The other one too?" Seungcheol asked. He actually bought it for himself, and now his dearest Jeonghan is also asking for the other one.

"Yes, any problem with that Choi Seungcheol?" Jeonghan releases himself from the hug and Seungcheol looked at him in disbelief, "Did you just call me by my full name?"

"Yes? Can't I?" Jeonghan dared and picked up the box and also the two other drinks. Seungcheol didn't protest, "Good." Jeonghan smiled in victory and left him alone in that office.

Seungcheol can't help but smile with Jeonghan's little childish acts. "Wait for me let me join you!" Seungcheol shouted.

"YOU WON'T GET A PIECE OF IT CHOI SEUNGCHEOL!"

Soohyang went home with a broken heart. She's been spacing out ever since at the car.

"Where have you been?" The strict voice of her Mom echoed in the living room.

Cho Jihyang, her Mom is usually strict. Maybe not in front of other people, but in their house is. Meanwhile, Cho Siwoo is also the same as his wife. They both want their child to be seen with class and etiquette.

Soohyang didn't answer her mother. But Jihyang knows even just with her daughter's swollen eyes, it's Seungcheol, again.

"I'm already telling you to just marry Choi Cheolhan instead!" Jihyang shouted, and Soohyang looked at her mother with disgust.

"I love Seungcheol, mom. And I can't marry his Dad! He's too old for me! All you think about is money. How about me then?!" Soohyang received a slap from his Mom.

"Do you really think that Seungcheol will love you? Wake up, Soohyang! It's time to be practical and smart!" Jihyang said and asked the maids to leave for a while.

"I thought you wanted us to be classy? Now you want me to marry an old man for money?" Soohyang can't believe her Mom. Even Siwoo, her Dad is in favor with this.

"Why? You already put a dirt on your name after becoming Seungcheol's controversial mistress. Now you want to keep your hands clean? Why not keep it up since you already became one? Marry Choi Cheolhan and give us the fortune." Jihyang said.

This is the reason why Soohyang keeps on chasing Seungcheol from the very beginning.

From that very night when Jeonghan announced that he's married with Seungcheol, Soohyang's parents wants her to marry Cheolhan instead and get rid of Jeongyeon for good.

Soohyang thought that it would be a hell for her so she chased Seungcheol, and Cheolhan is so pleased to see them together due to money.

Soohyang loves Seungcheol badly, but she won't do something stupid except for chasing and seducing him. Killing Jeonghan? That was Cheolhan's original plan, and Soohyang took part in it for her own sake to get Seungcheol.

She wanted to give up on him, but this is the only option for her to escape her parents' plans on making her marry Cheolhan instead. She needs Seungcheol that's why she's so desperate. She can't find anyone else other than Seungcheol.

"I'd rather be Seungcheol's mistress than to be Choi Cheolhan's wife." Soohyang firmly said. She's still young, and she won't let her live the life of hell with Cheolhan.

"You'll do as I say. Or else, we'll disown you for good."

"H-Hannie are you sure you can eat them all?" Seungcheol stared at the box of cupcakes with 24 pieces in it.

Jeonghan already ate 19 of them. "Why? Do you want some?" Jeonghan asked and offered him a cupcake. But, Jeonghan immediately took it back. "Just kidding. These are all mine."

Seungcheol just chuckled. He lets Jeonghan to finish all the food he bought for him.

Seungcheol felt so right. Jeonghan may be acting childish that some might find annoying, but for Seungcheol, Jeonghan is the cutest thing he ever saw.

He's so glad that he's now correcting everything. That he chose again the right person for him. And that person? Is definitely Jeonghan. Only Yoon Jeonghan.

"Why are you staring at me?" Jeonghan asked. Seungcheol has been staring straight onto his lips since earlier. "Is there something on my face?" Jeonghan asked once again.

"Yeah," Seungcheol answered and immediately acted. He licked off the frosting on Jeonghan's mouth.

"Remember when I told you that if you ever leave stains on your mouth, I won't hesitate to lick them off?" Seungcheol asked Jeonghan who's too stunned to speak.

Jeonghan cleared his throat and managed to reply, "Why did you do that?!"

Seungcheol smirked.

"I told you, I'm fulfilling all the unfulfilled promises."
