Chapter 30

Drunken Prince

"Are you humming?"

Hyeran stopped folding freshly washed towels and turn to her best friend. If they are not alone at the reception area right now she wouldn't believe it was actually Soojung who's humming.

Soojung shook her head and continued with her paper works. "Of course not, silly."

Hyeran looked confused for a second but then went back on her work. After a couple of minutes the humming came back and when she look at Soojung it was indeed her.

"You are humming!"

Soojung looks up at her laughing. "I am not."

"Yes you are! Don't deny it I heard you loud and clear."

Soojung continued to laugh. "Alright alright I am humming. But there's no need to react so violently."

Hyeran drops the towel on the basket and walk over to Soojung. She narrowed her eyes at her, inspecting that different aura she has with her. Soojung just stared back at her, confused on why Hyeran's acting strange.

Hyeran gasped.

"I knew it! You're glowing!" she covers her mouth with her hand.

Soojung can't help but laugh at her silliness. "What am I the sun?"

"I'm serious Soojungie. You're really glowing! You're face looks brighter, your skin is smoother than before, your eyes seems to twinkle and that sweet smile had been in your face for a week now. Are you on drugs?"

Soojung burst out laughing. "You're hungry again, aren't you?"

Hyeran hit her in the arm. "Tsk! I'm serious. And I'm not hungry!"

"Just finish those towels so you can eat lunch already." Soojung said, pushing Hyeran back at the towel racks.

Hyeran gasped once again. "It's him isn't?!" She ran back to her. "It's because of Jongin, isn't?"

"I don't know what you're talking about but you know what? You really should be finishing those towels before Baekhyun arrives. You know how ugly his folds are."

Hyeran made face to her. She really hates it when Soojung's being so secretive. She went back to her work, stumping her feet in the process.

"Don't think I didn't notice you two were always together now a days and isn't your sister already told you that you should be staying at the palace by now but you still insisted on staying here. I have eyes, you know."

"My business is here not in the palace, Hyeran. I didn't build this bathhouse just to be left behind." Soojung answered.

"Whatever you say Soojungie."

Soojung glance at the wall clock. It's 3 minutes pass 12 noon. "I should be going. Where is Baekhyun?"

"I really don't know why you hire him, the guy's never on time."

"Good morning boss!" Baekhyun greets them loudly as he enter.

"Speaking of the devil.." Hyeran said.

Soojung sighed. "It's already noon."

"Sorry boss, got stuck in the traffic." he said.

Soojung shook her head as she arranges her paper works. She put them at the filing cabinet. "I have to go. Baekhyun don't forget our 1pm reservation."
