Chapter 11
She Decides
12:20PM, Gwanak-gu
Minho sat across Yuri in a restaurant.
“I…didn’t want to lie.” Said Minho. “I’m sorry.”
“You have to ask her to leave your house.” Said Yuri.
“I can’t. She doesn’t have anywhere to go.” Said Minho.
“Why not? She has friends for sure.” Said Yuri.
“She doesn’t have any.” Said Minho.
“And you believed her? That’s ridiculous! Nobody doesn’t have a single friend!” Yuri said almost shouting.
“She just got out of a loan and she’s still paying it to me by instalment. She’s doing some of my house chores.” Said Minho.
“If she is a lynch that stays in your house like this, I would not mind helping out just to make her leave. I’d find her a place. And I’ll find you a maid.” Said Yuri.
“I would be the one to decide when she is to leave.” Said Minho.
“Are you telling me to stay out of it? How can I stay out of it when my boyfriend lives in the same roof with a girl?” Yuri is getting hysterical. “And not just some random girl… You even said you like her.”
“It was not my intention to feel that way towards her. You know how I never paid attention towards anyone else. I have never paid attention to anyone I help.” Said Minho.
Yuri looked away trying to fight her emotions.
“Sulli and I have some agreement. We can’t just bend that.” Said Minho.
Yuri made a frustrated sigh.
“Do you know how hurt I am right now?” asked Yuri.
“I’m sorry.” said Minho.
There was a long moment of silence.
“The two of us… we said we need space from each other. But we did not break up.” Said Yuri. “I thought you’d wait for me faithfully.”
“I tried. It was not my intention to look at her.” Said Minho.
Yuri closed her eyes.
“Let’s stop talking about her. I thought we’d have a sweet reconciliation.” Said Yuri.
Minho nodded.
“You only contacted me now?” asked Minho. “I heard you’ve gone home a week ago.”
“I didn’t want to face you right away.” Said Yuri. “I heard your project just started.”
Minho crossed his arms around his chest.
“Are you going to take back what you did before?” asked Minho.
“Nope, I have not regretted it one bit.” Said Yuri.
“It almost got you imprisoned.” Said Minho.
“It was worth it.” Said Yuri.
“That day… I asked you to stop it.” Said Minho. “But you still did it.”
“Because it was the least I can do.” Said Yuri. “You know I’d do everything for you.”
Minho closed his eyes.
“Yuri. I told you to stop doing things for me, things that would jeopardize you.” Said Minho.
“If it’s for you. I don’t mind jeopardy.” Said Yuri.
