The Great Seducer : Another Road

Chapter 16

Door open

Sejoo entered the nest cheerfully. "Good morning Queen Sooji...", he greeted Sooji who've been playing the piano randomly.

"Hmm...", she greeted him back without stop playing.

"How are you?", he sits beside her.

"Peachy...", she answered nonchalantly.

Sejoo noticed a half-empty glass of whiskey laying on top of the piano. "What did you drink??!", he grabbed the glass and showed it in front of her face.

"Yaa...relax..it's just an ice tea..."

Sejoo was glancing at her in disbelief. He took one sip to taste it. And grins. It's ice tea.

"Happy now?", Sooji rolled her eyes.

Sejoo nodded. "So...why did you summon me here??"

"I wasn't summoning you...", she denied.

Sejoo snorted and took his phone from his pocket. "Seejo ah...are you busy? I am at the nest right now...alone...", Sejoo read Sooji's message loudly.

"I was just asking if you're busy or not...Jeezz..."

Sejoo rolled his eyes.  "Are you on a break?"

"Yeah...I have nothing to do at home..."

"If you need a job...you can be a part-timer in my restaurant..", Sejoo smirked.

"Haisshh....", Sooji smacked Sejoo's hand jokingly.

"So...what's the matter?"

"Sejoo ah..."

"Hmmm?"

"Can you be friend with your ex?"

"Huh?", Sejoo surprised with Sooji' question. "Not for me..."

"Why?"

"You knew how all of my relationships ended with a slap on my face...", Sejoo was stroking his cheek like there's an invisible scar.

"Yaa!!! I am being serious here.."

"Sorry....", Sejoo chuckled. "It'll be hard but didn't mean it was impossible...", he finally said seriously. "Why?", Sejoo asked. Sipping her ice tea.

Sooji takes a deep breath. "Taehee....asked Shihyun to be her friend..."

"What???!", Sejoo almost choked on her ice tea. "Don't tell me he said yes..."

"Hm.."

"Oh God! Why is he still so stupid..", Sejoo grumbled.

"You know he can't say no, don't you? Besides, you said it wasn't impossible..."

"But...it'll be hard....for you....", Sejoo said gently.

Sooji smiles. "I'll try....for him...", she gets up but suddenly staggering backward.

"Woaa...woaaa..", Sejoo catches her before she falls. And help her sit down. "Are you okay??"

"Yeah...I just...", Sooji closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She was just black out for a few seconds. "I was just little bit dizzy....", she opens her eyes slowly.

Sejoo watched her intensely. "Really? You look a little bit pale....", still worried.

Sooji nodded. "I am fine...I just got up too fast and lost my balance..."

Sejoo looks at her in disbelief, "I'll call Shihyun..."

"NO!!!", Sooji stopped him. "He'll overreact...seriously...I am fine..."
