Almost like the other girls|2YEON|ENG

Meetings and clashes

-Don't do anything stupid, Minhyuk.

-Don't worry, it's just a walk. I always keep my composure.

***

-Dude, for a marquis you act like a savage.- the guy he met that night told him.

-Why are you here?

-I needed to drink and think too. I have a problem with my ex. She kept our daughter from me.

-It seems like we're both having a bad night.- Minhyuk said, pouring himself another glass of vodka.

-And then I found out she was a lesbian a month before our wedding. And she left me.

-I feel like I've heard this story before...

-But she doesn't know I had a lover and we've been together for two years.

-If you had a lover, why were you with the other one?

-Because she was my best friend. In the end, we hurt each other.- He laughed heartily. -But I was the only one who accused her. And recently I found out that she had a daughter and had her mother raised her. She passed her off as her sister.

-What a b*tch.

-More than your little princess. Poor girl, she mustn't love anyone.

-She's not but this is about me. I love her. But she loves this ordinary citizen of Seoul. Daughter of a baker, to boot.

-A baker? What a coincidence, my ex is... What's her name?

-Who? The sl*t? Jeongyeon, I think.

-Try reviewing your vocabulary! Jeongyeon is not a sl*t.

-Do you know her?

-She's my ex.

-The one who kept your daughter from you? Then she really is a sl*t!

-Dare you say that again!- Jimin shouted, standing up.

By now all eyes were on them. Minhyuk took another sip of his vodka, then stood up.

-Your ex is a b*tch who used to kiss my girlfriend when I wasn't around.- he replied, trying to look him straight in the eyes.

Jimin couldn't see anymore and pushed the marquis, making him fall on the table. The sound of broken glasses and bottles resounded throughout the place. A waiter immediately intervened.

-Stop!

-Your. Girlfriend.- Every pause was followed by a punch. -She. Is. A. B*tch. She's the one who cheated on you. Jeongyeon is not to blame.

-Now you're defending her? The same woman who kept her daughter from you?

Two men had arrived to hold them and the police had been called. Minhyuk wasn't lucid enough to worry about the scandal and what his father might say.

-Nayeon?- asked Jeongyeon, surprised to see her in that place.

-Hey. What are you doing? Are you following me?

-You would like that.

-Yes, I would like that.

-So maybe you're following me because you can't stay away from me?- Jeongyeon asked.

-Jokes aside, Minhyuk got into a fight.

Jeongyeon slapped her forehead. -I think I know who with.

-Don't tell me...

-Jimin.

-How did they meet?

-They must have been drinking together.

The first to come out was Minhyuk, followed by Jimin accompanied by his mother.

-Jeongyeon, please help me. Resolve these issues between you.- said Mrs. Park.

As if Jeongyeon had something to do with her son's violence.

-Did you call me to talk to him?

-He doesn't want to calm down. He screams that he absolutely wants to see you.

-Look at that: that b*tch of your ex.

-How dare he?- asked Mrs. Park.

-Minhyuk!- Nayeon scolded him. -Let's go home.

-Yes, home. The house your father took for you. Our home. Where we are alone.

Those words made Jeongyeon's blood boil. She didn't have a good feeling. She watched Nayeon help Minhyuk hold himself up, then watched Jimin almost sleep standing up.

-Mrs. Park, take him home, tomorrow, when he's sober, I'll talk to him.

-Jeongyeon.- Jimin complained. It wasn't the time. Jeongyeon had other things to do. -I'm sorry I cheated on you.

-But you didn't cheat on me. Jimin, it was just a lie I told my family because you know how they are.

But the guy continued to cry. -I really cheated on you.

-Come on, let's go home. You'll talk to Jeongyeon when you're sober.

-I cheated on her, mommy! We ruined our friendship!

The brunette turned around and saw Nayeon by the car, helping a completely unstable Minhyuk to sit down. She ran up to her and turned her around by grabbing her wrist.

-I won't leave you alone.

-Don't worry, I can do it.

-We don't know what this guy is capable of. You said he was a composed person and look at the state he's in. He's a hurt man and sometimes they do stupid things. Let me come with you.

Nayeon looked at Minhyuk and then Jeongyeon. Who was she to deny herself a few more hours with the person she loved?

-Let's go.

Then they all sat in the back of the taxi and Jeongyeon watched the boy sleeping the whole time while Nayeon stroked his hair.

-Maybe I don't have any right because he's the one being betrayed here, but I won't hide from you that I'm a little jealous.

-Of what?- Nayeon asked. -Caresses to make him fall asleep? I can do that to you too, if you want.- She came closer to her ear. -But I don't know if I want to sleep with you next to me.

Jeongyeon's skin prickled and she looked away in surprise. Those nobles weren't as composed as they wanted you to believe.

The taxi driver arrived in front of Nayeon's apartment and helped the girls carry the boy to bed. Luckily, he was fast asleep and didn't cause any trouble. Nayeon closed the door to her room and headed towards the guest room.

-You're not coming?- she asked a Jeongyeon lying on the couch.

-I didn't come here to take advantage of the situation and steal the girl from under some boy's nose, even though I've done that before.

-You didn't steal anything from anyone. Only my heart. And I'm the one who let myself be stolen.- She mimed quotation marks in the air. -You really don't want to come?

-It doesn't seem right for him. I'm just here to protect you.

Nayeon shrugged. -I'd feel safer with you next to me.

-Okay... But we're just sleeping, right?

-Of course! What else did you want to do?
