TROUBLE MAKER [WANNA ONE PARK JIHOON] ✅

45 • Money or Love

I finally could catch up with him so I pull his hand towards me. "Stop!" I shout and he finally do so.

"What?!" He shouts at me.

"Why are you behaving so weird to me?! What have I done to you?!" I say in frustration. "Did you hate me that much? I don't know if you fell in love with someone else or what but you're not what you used to be! You're not the Jihoon I knew anymore..." I say and let go of his hand. Water starts to well in my eyes so I quickly turn away my body from facing him.

"I don't want to stay at your home, so do send my luggages tomorrow at my house." I say and walk away. He doesn't even calls out my name or even trying to stop me from going. Yeah, sure. He's so much different now.

I take a cab home. Thank god that I have my spare keys with me. And thank god too that everyone is already sleeping. I go upstairs to my room and go to sleep right ahead. I wrap myself in my fluffy blanket like a larva and fall into a deep sleep.

~ The Next Morning ~

I wake up on my own since my parents doesn't know that I'm home. As I head out of the shower, I can hear some men voices talking in the living room. That's weird.. I thought Minho is busy preparing for his comeback? I quickly wear my outfit to see Minho downstairs.

I go downstairs in a hurry and happiness plastered on my face. "Mino yaa-"

"Minho? He haven't got home yet. It's Jihoon. He came to return your bags. Why didn't you tell me that you're coming home last night?" My dad says with a big smile on his face. I look at his face and then at Jihoon, with my mouth wide open. "Come join us," He adds.

"Don't be shy," My mom pulls my hand and asks me to sit next to Jihoon. I sit down next to him on the fluffy sofa. I awkwardly slide away from him and look away.

"Are you both in a same class?" My mom suddenly asks and he nods while smiling brightly.

"I even sit next to her," Jihoon adds and I glare at him. I roll my eyes and he winks at me.

"So how is the company doing? Is it still the same even your father is not here anymore?" My father asks and Jihoon takes a sip of his tea and nod.

"It's been good. But I rarely go there since I'm busy with school too," He says and my father nods.

"I'll visit whenever I can. It's been a long time since I didn't come to your office," He adds and Jihoon nods.

"Sure, you can come whenever you want. Make sure to call me before you do if you want to get a special welcome," Jihoon chuckles and my father laughs.

"Why are you so quiet?" Mom asks which took me off guard.

"Nothing," I smile and look at Jihoon. "I need to go upstairs. Excuse me," I add and suddenly my father cuts me.

"No. Sit here for a while. I want to say something to both of you," My father says and look at my mom. She then nods and walk away.

"Are you both dating each other?" He suddenly asks us. I look at him with my mouth slightly open. "Be honest. Cause I might give you permission if you do," He adds with a more serious tone in his voice.

"Well, we haven't date yet. But I'm trying my best to win her heart," Jihoon coughs and says afterwards. I look at him with a very shocked expression on my face.

"So, do you want to take her as your girlfriend now?" My father asks and Jihoon freezes.

"Oh, umm.. Yeah, sure," He says while looking at me. "But only if she agrees," He adds and I look at him with my eyes snap open.

"What? Me?"

"So do you want to be his girlfriend?" My father asks and my face heats up.

"I think so..." After a long silence, I finally say that and I don't even realize that. I cover my mouth from saying anything else afterwards.

"Good. If you both agree, I would like to make Haneul as your financial advisor." My father says with a big smile.

"What?!" Jihoon and I say in the same time.

"Yeah, why not? And with that, I can have some share with your company, right?" My father asks with a smirk. I can see that Jihoon's expression changes.

"...Is this all about money?" I ask after a long silence between the three of us. My father looks at me and shrugs. "About money? Really? Again?! What more do you want? I've had enough," I say and Jihoon puts down his tea.

"As long as I can see Haneul, I can give everything that you want," Jihoon smiles kindly.

"No! Jihoon, you don't have to do this for me. Please, you can go home now," I say while standing and pointing to the front door that I believe he came from.

"No, this is all about me. You don't have to worry. I know what I'm doing. I've had enough, losing my father and mother. And now... Now I don't want to lose you," He says while holding my hand lightly. I sit back down and sigh heavily.

"So? What is your decision, young man?" My father asks while crossing his legs. "Losing your money or losing your lovely girl?" My father adds.

"Dad! You're so cruel! Can't you just let him alone? You're so selfish! You only think about money, money and money! You don't even care for me! For mom, for Minho..." I say with watery eyes.

"I choose to lose money and keep my beloved one with me," Jihoon suddenly says with a serious tone while standing. I look at him, shocked and he turns his head towards me to smile.

"I guess I need to leave now, I have to check on my company this evening since there will be no school for tomorrow. Excuse me," Jihoon says while buttoning his coat and brushing off some dust on his coat. He bows for the last time and heads out.
