Part Time: Rose's Thorns

Chapter 12: New Face

Fast Update isn't it?

The morning sunshine beamed between the two curtains, waking you up in annoyance as you realized it was another day of surviving the girls' playground. Young-hoon was dressing himself already with his grey suit while you, still on your white shirt and boxers.

"What's gotten into you, how could you not wake me up? We should've dressed the same time instead." You complained.

"Mian hamnida." He bowed, tightening his necktie. "I was hesitant to enter your room since you were in your 'comfortable' outfit. I don't want you to deem me as someone who does something sexual."

You scanned yourself, realizing how pathetic you looked right now. He's so professional with his job and no wonder he had stayed up with Jessica for that long. Realizing it's almost work time, you went back to your room and fixed yourself.

He was in a grey business suit and you were in a sport-looking attire when both of you entered the building together. He was beside you, his other hand on his pocket as you walked freely. Some of the people's eyes passing by were drawn on both of you, it was awkward so you quickened your pace towards the elevator.

"Sir, you should have told me that I had to wear something lighter instead." Young-ho said when the elevator doors closed as he looked at himself. "I looked more like an executive rather than an assistant."

"How can I stop you if you already had your suit in you." You contested. "I told you not to be too formal, but you never followed."

He let out a breath and smiled. "Well, atleast we had their attention on us."

Remembering his question last night, you turned to look at him. "About the question you had last night, you just need to pull me out whenever these two girls are around me; Taeyeon and Tiffany" You lifted a finger on each name.

"How do they look like?" He looked up at you

"It's hard to distinguish, they're both small, same wavy long hairs, and. . . pretty as usual." The elevator doors opened and both of you continued your way towards the dance room. "But their faces can be somehow defined, Taeyeon got that cute circular eyes and Tiffany has that eyes that 's somehow longer than Taeyeon's. "

He looked at you. "How am I supposed to imagine that."

You placed a tap on his back and gave a reassuring smile. "You'll know when you see it."

Reaching the dance room, Young-ho stood behind you, peeking over the window from your shoulder. He never knew you were training opposite genders rather than males like you. Hesitatingly asking if you're gay,  you slowly turned around and gave him a pissed off look.

The moment you pushed the door, the 4 girls greeted you in unison until they noticed the guy behind you. Their eyes widened as Giselle covered her mouth, they were jaw-dropped and you knew they would. Young-ho stood beside the door, leaving you with the girls alone as he watched over the window. 

During practice, the girls couldn't resist their eyes from looking at your assistant. Why does he have to be attractive? It wasn't normal for you to raise your voice at them, but you had to do it for the job in which they gladly followed you. 

It was lunch time and in your realization, he disappeared from the room until he came back with two plastic bags on his both hands. He sat beside you on the floor as the girls formed a circle with you.

"Why do you have to waste money, we have canteen downstairs." You asked.

"Why? Don't you waste money too on the canteen?" He answered, looking at you. "Plus, you wanted to avoid the two, so I had to keep you here."

"Coach, I never expected you had an assistant with you," Winter added and looked at him, "That is attractive."

Young-ho smiled, looking down. It was obvious that these girls would say that especially they're teenagers. But you gotta be honest that he can get any woman's heart with his figure. 

"Yah, he's older than me by 2 years. So you should treat him with respect atleast."

"Yah, fangirling isn't even a bad thing." Winter contested. "As if you never fanboyed any idol."

"I never did." You answered immediately. "I guess all of you just had the same visuals here, so I can't easily have a crush."

Giselle gave you a doubting look. "Even if our unnie Taeyeon kisses you right now?"

You froze, dwelling into the past events once again. Remembering that night before you decided to leave the country felt like a scar that's permanently marked into you. Her soft lips against yours, kissing passionately on the corner, her hot breaths flowing over your skin and the soft strands of her hair on your fingers, you missed it.

"Coach?" Karina said, snapping you back to reality. You looked at them and chuckled nervously.

"That wouldn't still work to me. As if she would kiss me." You stuttered, and took a bite on your chicken drummet. Young-ho kept his surprised look at you, slowly nodding before looking away. Hopefully they didn't suspect a single thing at you.

Before the lunch ends, Karina opened up about an event named Inkigayo that will be held tomorrow at Seoul. You were clueless about it as no one informed you about it. She gladly explained in which almost all idols from different entertainments will be there, performing and competing for an award. Hopefully your old friends will be there, it's your chance to see them again so you decided not to miss it. 

Young-ho POV

With these plastic bags on my hands, I decided to take it out to the trash. The corridor was long and spacious, it felt like I'm inside a never-ending asylum. It took me several minutes and sweat before I finally found the wide trashcan in the end of the corridor. 

On my way back to Y/N's room, a door opened from my right, revealing a short woman in a black off-shoulder and denim pants. Her hair was black and wavy, and when she looked at me, the one that Y/N told me comes up in my mind. She looked familiar.

' But their faces can be somehow defined, Taeyeon got that cute circular eyes '

Her eyes were small and somehow circular, this must be the one Y/N was talking about. We found ourselves staring on each other as I snapped back to reality, bowing at her lightly before walking away. 

"Hey." She voiced out and I paused. "You look familiar? Have we met already?"

I slowly turned around, and smiled. "I'm afraid, not."

She kept her gaze at me, narrowing her eyes and slowly nodding afterwards. "I'm not sure, but I really feel I've met you already during my trainee years, I don't know, I must be hungry I guess."

How does she know me too? I don't really remember anything about her but that feeling of familiarization hits me for no reason. Taeyeon, Taeyeon . . . 

"I'm sorry for wasting your time." She lightly bowed and took the opposite direction. I kept my eyes on her while she walked all the way the corridor before she disappears. This is strange.
