I Love You, My Friend - Song Mingi

#16

- Miss Kang! You can't go in there.
I was on my way to my fathers office. Today I didn't care that he would be there. His assistant was trying to stop me from going inside.
- I'm his daughter.
I said.
- I know who you are, Sungyeon.
She said.
- I really need to see him.
I said.
- He's not there. He's at a meeting.
She said.
- I'll wait inside.
I said.
- he told me not to let you in.
She said.
- Listen, you do not want to mess with me!
I yelled at her, making her take a step away from me.
- Fine. But don't touch anything.
She said.
Oh, I'm gonna touch everything..
- Of course not.
I said, and gave her a fake smile.

I went inside my fathers office, and went over to his desk.
Where it it?
I tried to open his drawers, but they were locked. Luckily, I noticed that he had some kind of golden bird figurine, so I decided to use it to break the locks. It took all my strength to break the locks, but then again, I wasn't very strong.
Let's see what's inside.
... Nothing? What the hell is this?

- Is this what you're looking for?
My father asked, and he walked into his office. He was holding a stack of papers.
- give them to me.
I said.
It looked like he was about to walk over and hand them to me, but of course he didn't. He put everything in a shredder.
- how could you do that?
I said.
- because it's better that you don't read them.
He said, making want to hit him. But I knew if I did, he would hit me back. Harder.
- I hate you.
I told him.
- I can live with that.
He said, and sighed.
But he did look upset. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. But..he deserved it because of what he just did.
I picked up his gold bird, and glared at him.
- is this expensive?
I asked him.
- Yes it is, don't touch it.
He said.
I just smiled at him, and then threw it as hard as I could on the floor.
- I'm going now. Thanks for nothing.
I said, and tried to leave, but he blocked the door.
- you're so reckless. No wonder your mother don't want to see you.
He said.

How could he say that? It had to be a lie.
But what if it wasn't?
- Please get out of the way.
I told him, so he did.
- we should do this again.
My father said, as I left.
Yeah. Let's do this again. I wanted to break more of his expensive stuff.

I ran out of the building, and called Chanhee.
- Hello?
She answered.
- I went to my fathers office.
I told her.
- Really? Did you find anything?
She asked me.
- My father caught me.
I said.
- I'm so sorry, Sungyeon.
Chanhee said, and sighed.
- He had the documents.
I said.
- and he destroyed them right in front of me.
I continued.
- I can't believe he did that.
She said.
- Me neither.
I said.
- I have to get back to work. My boss is looking at me.
Chanhee said, and hung up.

What am I supposed to do now? I didn't want to go back home, to be alone.

I suddenly got a text message. Actually, I got several.
Mingi: where are you right now?
Mingi: let me guess, you went to the rooftop alone.
Mingi: try not to eat any of the flowers.
Sungyeon: that's funny.
Mingi: I thought so.
Sungyeon: I'm not even in the building.
Mingi: i miss you.
Sungyeon: you saw me yesterday.
Sungyeon: but.. thanks, I guess?
Mingi: don't you miss me?
Sungyeon: not really :)
Mingi: you're so mean.
Sungyeon: I know.
Mingi: let's go on a date.
Sungyeon: we're not dating.
Mingi: :(
Sungyeon: but I'll consider it.
Mingi: do you want to see me today?
Sungyeon: Maybe.
Mingi: do you like me? Yes or yes.

I started laughing so loud that the people on the street looked at me like I was crazy.
Sungyeon: I better think TWICE about that.
Mingi: kkkk.
Sungyeon: i know, I'm funny.

I decided to go to the KQ building, but I didn't let Mingi know that. I guess I wanted to surprise him. As I walked towards a bus stop, I looked at my reflection in a store window.
Damn it. I forgot to brush my hair. Again.
I went to a shopping mall, and found a store that sold hairbrushes.
I picked a pink one, and went to the cashier.
- are you interested in some of these hair bows?
The woman behind the counter said.
I looked at the bowl of bows. They did look pretty.
- it's two for one.
She said.
- I'll take these.
I said, and picked one white bow, and one yellow.
- thank you.
The cashier said, after I payed.

I left the store, and went to the bus stop. I suddenly got really impatient, the bus was taking to long to arrive. I had only been waiting two minutes, but I really wanted to get to the KQ building as fast as possible.
I guess...I really want to see Mingi.

The bus finally arrived, and I entered it.
Why is it so damn hot in here?

The bus ride took forever. At least it felt like it. When I finally got of the bus, I decided to run. It wasn't a good idea, because when I finally reached the building, I was out of breath.
I'm never running again. Why torture myself like that?

I went up to Kyung's studio, so that I could brush my hair before I went looking for Mingi.
- I didn't know you would come here today.
Kyung said when he noticed me, and smiled.
- I was... Bored.
I said.
- Right.
Kyung said, and smirked.

I just ignored him, and started brushing my hair. I decided to put on a bow as well.
- Which bow should I wear?
I asked Kyung.
- Pants.
He said.
- what?
I asked him, confused.
- your dress is too short.
He said.
- it's hot outside.
I said.
- Fine. Wear the yellow one.
He said.
- thanks.
I said.

I left the studio, and called Mingi.
- Where are you right now?
I asked him.
- why are wondering?
He said.
- no reason.
I said.
- So you're not in the building now?
He asked me.
- nope.
I said.
- You look nice.
He said.
- what?
I asked.
- just turn around.
He said.

What was he talking about?
I turned around, and then I saw him.
Had he been standing there all this time?
