KIM MINA

A name placed on the middle of the door displaying the patient's name resting inside the room. She remained in her spot not making any more still shock of what she saw.

A woman's name? 

Who is she? 

She saw how serious Namjoon's face when he went inside. She must be someone so important to him but she has a surname "Kim" which means she's a family? A sister perhaps? But the news says the Kim's only had two sons. 

Perhaps his girlfriend? Wait, but she's using the surname KIM. Oh gosh are they perhaps married?

But what she heard beneath the door shocked her more.

"I'm back mother" she heard Namjoon uttered. 

She quickly stepped back and hurriedly run to the elevator. "I'm sorry" she muttered into the air. She knew she shouldn't have followed him there. It seemed like she dragged herself into something personal for Namjoon. How could she do that to the man who bought her a meal and helped her find a way back to her house.

How could she do that to a friend?

Friend? Were they considered friends now?

Hopefully yes, that's what she thought. I don't envy and hate him like before. It's kind of odd at how my impression of him changed in a span of hours specially now that she's slowly finding out the real him.

Not as the prodigy boy but as Namjoon her kind friend.

She stepped back into the restaurant to see a man in tux, "Excuse me Miss, Are you perhaps Min Jihyun?" he asked as she nodded. "I'm the butler of Young Master Kim, he told me to send you home so please follow me this way" he explained as I obliged.

Once inside the car, I break the silence "Sorry to trouble you. You'll go back to the hospital to fetch Namjoon after sending me home right? Must be such a hassle I'm sorry" I said as he quickly disagreed. "No miss, Young master instructed me to go back to the manor after I send you home" he stated eyes still on the road.

"What? Then who will fetch him?" I asked in confusion. "No one. Young master never let us serve him unless in important situations like this" the butler speaks. "What do you mean? Please enlighten me. Isn't he the heir of the Kim Enterprise then why does he refuse being served and back in the hospital he was with--" I grabbed my mouth realizing I said too much.

"I see, You know a lot aside from the news Miss. Are you friends with the Young Master?" he asked. "I-I think we're friends" I replied as the butler laughed. "Of course you are, I apologize for the silly question. Young master instructed me to send you home safely so of course you're good friends" he explained.

"We look like good friends?" I urged him to continue. "Yes as I've said, Young master rarely let us serve him and it's the first time I saw him with a female companion" he looked at the side mirror to meet my eyes. What is this guy implying! And why am I staring to blush!

I cleared my throat and diverted the topic, "Why does he rarely let you serve him when it's just natural for a heir of such big company like the Kim Enterprise?" 

Just as I asked the question, I looked at the side to see we already reached my place as he speaks, "I think you should ask that the Young Master himself."
