"Let me Laugh Again" Book 2 V Fanfiction

8 - On your toes!

     Daniel tried to hide his smug smile but he just couldn't help it. He was excited to see Min-ji again and he was tingling with anticipation. He didn't mind coming after her – in fact, it gave him a perfect excuse to go back to Seoul.
       He shoved his hands in his parka to avoid the cold as he stood in the parking lot. "Freeeed!" screeched a familiar voice. Daniel turned with a smile at Min-ji because he'd know that voice anywhere.
        But then he saw Min-kyu running straight towards him.

        "Yah!! Pikyo-" Min-kyu tried to warn the random stranger but he was already going too fast. They collided and both fell to the ground. Un-ladylike laughter filled both men's ears. Min-ji was already huffing from exhaustion when fate helped her to finally catch up to her brother. Min-kyu was lame enough to bump into another person.
           She laughed and wheezed at the same time which caused her to choke on her own saliva. "What the-" Min-kyu was beside her in a second. Min-ji didn't care whether she was dying or not – all she cared about was beating her brother when a familiar voice cut through their silliness.

"Oraen mani yeyo, Min-ji-shi", Min-ji finally looked at the man whom her brother bumped into. "Daniel?" Min-ji scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. "Annyeong, George!" Yeosob smiled at her. 

     Min-ji heard gasps of shock and even some giggling from somewhere behind her and she rolled her eyes. When Yeosob tried, he was a real lady killer. "Wha- what a-are you do-doing here?" she asked him in between breaths.

       Min-kyu was helping her to breathe normally again when Yeosob said hi. "Hey man! When did you get here?" her brother asked the younger man. Min-ji eased herself away from their small talk and tried to breathe normally.
        She looked at Yeosob closely and wondered why he was here. 'What's he up to now? she thought. Min-ji opened her car door and started her car when Yeoseob planted his face too close to hers.

          "What are you doing now?" she asked him and didn't try to hide her annoyance. "George! It's perfect – you can drive me around Seoul!" and promptly turned to the passenger seat and planted himself there. Min-ji was speechless. In shock, she looked to her brother for help but he had suddenly disappeared. 'What the- wait till I get home you traitor!!!' she was still cursing her brother when she felt Yeosob's hand on hers, "Wae geurae?" Yeoseob asked her.

           Min-ji flinched and took her hand away. "Amugeutdo aniya..." she replied and eased out of the parking lot. Yeoseob was slightly annoyed about Min-ji's coldness towards him but he was determined to win her back.

           "What are you doing here Yeoseob-ah?" Min-ji asked him when they were comfortably cruising the highway. "Well to see you of course..." Yeoseob replied without missing a beat. Min-ji glared at him for a few seconds before focusing back on the road.

         "Huh -" she scoffed at his response but continued driving. Yeoseob pasted a fake grin on his face as he turned toward Min-ji, "Well I missed you too – oh wait, let's stop here. Let me get a cup of coffee..." he casually kept grinning.

           Min-ji didn't say anything but just stopped at the curb in front of a popular coffee chain and let Yeoseob off. When he was out of her car, she quickly drove off without saying anything. 

"Yaaaaah!!!" Yeoseob exclaimed as he ran after her car even though he knew he wouldn't catch up. When Min-ji's car stopped after a few yards, he ran towards the passenger seat to scold her but he was stunned when the driver's door opened and his bag was roughly shoved into his face.

"Yah – michyeosseo?!" he was angry now. 

Min-ji just smirked at him and drove off.
