Him & I / Hyunho /

11 - Dior

- Minho!!!

A girl with long dark hair jumps into Minho's arms. She's very pretty, slim and tall, clearly a model like him.

- I can't believe I'm doing this photoshoot with you! Omg it's so good to see you, I missed you.

- Suzy, aaah good old times. - Minho lifts her off the ground never letting go of the hug.

- How have you been? When did you come back? Oh you have to tell me everything. Especially the gossip!

Suzy, she used to be Minho's girlfriend. They were a young power couple and ruled the Korea modeling. She's the one who knew he was gay before Mihno was ready to admit it to himself. A confident girl like Suzy knew that, if Minho didn't care about sex with her, there's something simmering underneath.
"Of course only a gay guy can't resist me." - she jokingly told him when they broke up. She even wanted to set him up with someone but he chose to escape to New York instead.

- Well, New York was great. A lot of work, a lot of money. I was exotic over there, you know, a hot commodity. There was a time when my agency had to reject really big names cause I couldn't be at several places at the same time.

- Did I ask you about work? No. Tell me something juicy.

- Hmm...

- Minho, come on. It's me. Did I ever fail you? Did I always support you?

- Yeah, yeah. Fine, I fucked my boss and loved it. Juicy enough?

- Very! Is that still ongoing?

- No, it's over. How about you?

- Ah.. you were not around to put sense into me, so I did something dumb.
I got married.

- What..? Wow congratulations!

- Don't get too excited, that didn't last long.
You know what? If I don't find a good man soon, I'll marry you! Just to be Mrs Lee, you know.

- Me? You sure about that?

- Yes! You're perfect. Kind, handsome, you know how to cook, strong, funny...

- I just..

- Pfft! Sex is overrated. I get orgasm on my cheat days when I order a chocolate cake. Or when I buy Dior. Or... when I eat chocolate while wearing Dior! That's like double orgasm.

- That sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me too. Every guy in country would be jealous of me. Look at you, you're just getting more beautiful.

- Well, let's get married now Mr Lee. You're a sweet talker too, I forgot about that.

- Minho! Suzy! We're about to start now.

They get up and go pose in front of a camera.

Suzy, who's originally from Australia, came to Korea at a gentle age of 16 thinking she'd work as a model. She quickly learned that the "model agency" used her naivety, and the fact that her drunk parents didn't care about her whereabouts.

The agency took her passport and placed her to work as a hostess at a night club. Minho came to a night club to meet with his uncle, and decided to help her right there when he saw her first. Even though she just knew only a few words of Korean.

They were just kids, but he convinced his uncle to let her work as a model because she'd earn more money that way. She did, her beauty earned her some big contracts, and she paid off her "agency" with Minho and his uncle's help. It also helped that uncle saw them dating, and had a soft heart for them.

And that's how Suzy and Minho's lifelong bond was made. He only looks dark outside, but inside - he's soft for stray souls.
And kittens.
