Coffee

Soohyun just informed Hanteo about the mistake just as he was on his way to Jieun's address after getting it from his secretary.

He assumed there will be a lot of paparazzis waiting at the vicinity since the news about her new endorsement just aired a few hours ago. Media reporters are definitely out there to get some word from her.

The drive to Jieun's house was a quick one. But since it was an urgent call he made to her manager, he allotted an ample time for her to prepare. Soohyun went by to a coffeeshop nearby to wait for her. He had asked Hanteo to call him as soon as she's ready to leave.

It has been an hour since he got into the vicinity and he still haven't received a call from Hanteo. Checking the time, he saw that if it takes another 30 minutes or more they'll be late for the shoot. Soohyun stood up and ordered 2 to go coffee before finally deciding to go and fetch Jieun himself.

He went around the corner where another entrance is situated just as Hanteo suggested to him in case there are lots of paparazzi. He was caught of guard when a body slammed into him. The cup of coffees he was holding spilled both to him and the one who crashed into him. Although admittedly the spill on him was not much compared to the other person.

He hasn't looked up yet to see who it was. But he assumed it was a lady seeing as the shoes were high heels. He closed his eyes in annoyance and sighed loudly. He was in a rush already and this has to happen? He thought to himself in irritation. Soohyun was about to speak when he heard an irritated scream escape from the person who slammed to him.

Looking up in surprise, he was shocked to find a fuming Jieun soaked in coffee in front of him. Soohyun was at loss for words, he didn't even realized that the cups of coffee he was holding awhile ago was hot.

Jieun was mad, scratch that, she was furious. She has been waiting for Soohyun to pick her up but when Hanteo said they can't reach him, she decided to sneak outside instead and go look for herself. And now, she found him alright. But she's now drenched in hot coffee and her skin stings from it.

Jieun let out another irritated scream that snapped away Soohyun from his initial shock.

"What are you doing here?" Soohyun asked dumbfounded.

"I'm obviously out in here waiting to be soaked in coffee and tadah." Jieun answered with a forced smile. Her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Not letting him talk again, she spun around and fetched her phone to call Hanteo. She started walking towards to the elevator, back to her apartment.

It took about 3 rings before Hanteo answered.

"Cancel the shoot today. Come here quickly." She stated as soon as he answered the call and dropped it after. Hanteo didn't have much of a choice because he recognized that tone. It meant something serious happened.

Soohyun lightly trailing behind her heard the call.

"What do you mean cancel?"

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"We're running late!" He exclaimed after looking at his watch. But Jieun ignored him and went on to ride the elevator.

"Are you even listening?" He asked when she didn't answer him.

She looked at him straight on the eyes and said, "Are you even looking?"

Then she rolled her eyes in annoyance. Her skin started to sting more already because of the hot coffee.

And he looked. He stared at her and just realize that her neck and arms are starting to turn pink. He felt ashamed because he forgot that the coffee was hot and it spilled almost all to Jieun.

"Arasseo, come quickly." He heard her say.

Before he can apologize and ask further about the sudden turn of events, the elevator doors opened and she stepped out without looking back if he's following her.

Jieun had called Inna and asked her to come over to treat her burnt skin. The moment she told Inna what happened, her best friend went on to panic mode, and has started nagging her to come back up quickly.

Inna was already standing in front of her door with her hands on her hips. She immediately dragged Jieun inside the moment she saw her and didn't even bother greeting Soohyun, who was trailing behind Jieun all along.

"Ow!" Jieun exclaimed when Inna accidentally touched a part of her arm that's stinging.

"Mianhae." Inna uttered, her eyes full of worry at her best friend.

"Jieunnah, go change first then I'll treat you after. Ok?" She lightly ordered Jieun.

Jieun went on to change just as Inna told her to. She was almost done when she heard Hanteo and Chipmunk's voice.

Soohyun was just standing there. He was scared to say a word because Inna, Jieun's best friend was glaring at his direction. He looked at his watched and saw that they're way too late already for the shoot. With that thought on his mind, he immediately scolded himself for still thinking of the shoot at times like this.

Just then, Jieun's manager appeared along with the other one. He was neglected as they went straight to Inna.

Inna was telling them what happened and Soohyun was half listening and half thinking on how he can properly apologize. Today was a mess, starting off with the wrong schedule to this.

On his peripheral, he saw Inna point to him and he suddenly straightened up when Hanteo went over to talk to him.

"Hanteo." He stated while offering his hand. He saw how stressed out Hanteo was but still remained professional and shook his hand.

"Joesonghabnida." Soohyun apologized.

"Mianhae for the trouble Hanteo. Mianhae."

"Gwenchana Soohyunssi. But I think we should talk outside." Hanteo replied to him with a light smile.

"Unless you want to be eaten out alive by Jieun's best friend, I suggest we go out now."

Not wanting to be told twice, he followed Hanteo outside to talk things through today.
