Thin Line Between You & Me

Chapter two: I would do anything for you, but you'd never see it

Minji

Hanni has always been a bright person, it's the key point of who she was. She was definitely a positive person, she saw the good in the bad and I truly admired her for that. She's astonishing and just amazing, and I'm not saying it just to say. I mean it, I really do. She's phenomenal.

"When you said lunch, I was expecting to be seated at a near by cafe or something like that. Not a five star restaurant." Hanni said as she looked around a bit. I let out a chuckle as I looked at her. "You deserve a good meal." I said and she shook her head. "I'm not a big fan of places like this, I like being somewhere where I feel more like myself and not have to force so much etiquette." She said.

Noted.

In case I ever get to take her out for lunch again.

"Well that's good to know, maybe next time?" Yup, I definitely wanted her to know that I would love to have lunch with her again. We've only been here for a couple of minutes and I'm enjoying her company. Actually enjoying being outdoors for once.

I never go out for lunch, I don't even eat lunch. And I specially don't spend lunch with anyone. But Hanni needed me here with her, she needed something to distract her. It sounds like I'm trying to convince myself doesn't it? If so, you're right! But that's for later on.

"Next time? Well, if you'd like then yes, but we'll go to my favorite place." She said and I could only nod at her like a dumb puppy. I would do absolutely anything this woman asked me to do. If she asked me for the moon, I would do anything to get it for her. Don't even question it!

Why? Well I don't know. A part of me just screams to make this woman happy. To treat her better than that jerk! I'm just trying to be a good friend to her. Or so I sought to believe. But let me figure that out later on when it hits me like a wrecking ball. You got the Miley reference?

Anyway.

I was starting to get a little annoyed as her phone kept buzzing against the table. Every time it seemed to buzz with more demand for her to look and see who it was. Could it be that low-life texting her? I wanted to grab her phone and throw it out the window if I heard it buzz again, but I had to keep myself sane and polite in front of her. "You should probably answer that." I said, my eye slightly twitching as it buzzed again.

Hanni looked down at her phone and shut it off. "It's not important." She said as she took a bite of the food she ordered. I could only look at her. She was so vulnerable, but so strong at the same time. And a part of me thanked her for not letting that trash panda looking guy- wait raccoons are kind of cute- scratch that- that possum looking guy to ruin our little lunch. I change my mind, a rat. He looks like a rat but just make sure Hanni doesn't know I said that.

We sat there in silence as we enjoyed the food. My eyes stealing my glances of her every now and then. She looked troubled and I hated it. That little frown on her face might just permanently stay there if she keeps frowning at whatever it is that her mind is thinking of. "Hanni?" I called out which caused her to shake her head and look at me. She tilted her head at me confused.

"I was just wondering if you were okay, you might start to wrinkle there if you keep frowning." I said pointing at the spot between her brows and she let out a soft laughter as she shook her head at me. "I'm only twenty four, I'm not going to wrinkle yet." She said with that same dorky smile that I missed splattered on her face. It wasn't forced, it was genuine. And that made me smile just as bright too.

Hanni has always expressed herself well, she'd let you know if she was uncomfortable or bothered- like that one time I was trying to close a deal with this wrinkled American who kept trying to peek at Rachel and Samantha every second. I was fuming because to begin with, no one looks at my secretary like that. It's such inappropriate behavior, I'm not even doing that to their American model looking secretaries. And secondly, Hanni was looking at me for help, so help I did.
