Always (Helpless #2)

Nine

EUNHA POV

"Unbelievable."
"Crazy."
"Dramatic."
"Irrational."

They're all wearing identical frowns, rolled eyes and a look of deep thinking, and then sighed almost in unison.

I sighed rather heavily, feeling conflicted about the whole situation now.

I'm happy that we've got a plan to work on for a few weeks now and seems to be a really good plan in general but I also feel uncomfortable working with Jungkook.

If I could just see him as a friend, that'll be perfect but the problem is I can't.

Everytime I see him, my heart jumps and starts to beat faster, I do hope I don't have a dreamy loving look in my eyes or facial expression because I don't want to look pathetic of having one-sided love, even if I feel pathetic.

I sighed again, and decided to worry about other things.

"Who is Choi Hansol anyway?" I ask rather curiously.

"You don't know?" Yerin unnie asks, so surprised her eyes widen.

"No."

"Even I do know." SinB scratches her scalp and bent forward slightly, the way she usually does when trying to be serious, "Choi Hansol is the CEO of the Choi Corporation, he does a lot of international business."

"Such as?" I ask.

"Well, entertainment properties such as malls, clubs, and then communication sector, and you can see lots of his logo outside the country as well." Umji said, seeming impressed.

"My clothing line has custom orders to match the clothes he often wears." Sowon unnie added, nodding in approval.

"And on top of that he's handsome. Lots of male customers want a haircut like his, although of course that doesn't change anything." Yuju says, shaking her head slightly.

"How does he look like actually?" I ask, male millionaires or billionaires usually don't attract too many attention unless of course, they're good looking.

Which makes me wonder the face of Choi Hansol.

"Here." Yerin unnie shows me a picture of Mingyu, Daniel hyung and a young blonde man with captivating brown eyes and wide grin.

"That's Choi Hansol?" No wonder he's famous, he is indeed handsome in that foreign way.

"Yes, I took this photo when they got together few months back, he is partly foreign, partly korean, even I admit he is handsome." Even Yerin unnie sounds wistful.

"So he won't check the guest list all that much?" I prompted.

Yerin unnie shook her head, "Daniel and Mingyu will call him and mention bringing guest which will be the four of us and he'll just accept it."

"So Daniel will be going in alone?" SinB asks, frowning.

"Daniel oppa, SinB." Yerin unnie corrected.

"Sajangnim then. But aren't balls supposed to be attended in couples?"

"Since when are you so interested in balls?" I ask curiously.

"It happened in Harry Potter." and coming from SinB, it does make sense.

"Come to think of it, is your hair also inspired by that girl from Harry Potter?" I ask, motioning to her pink curly, slightly bushy hair.

"Similar, yes and she's called Hermione Granger." SinB added importantly.

"Anyway, what SinB says is right-" I was hoping they will drop the subject but Umji is persistent, "you will need to attend in couples. Its expected, its a symbol of your wealth."
