Love Hurts [Johnny Suh]

Three

Jungwoo and I were watching TV in my living room when he suddenly spoke up, "I got a gig for you..." He announced.

"I'm not going back to work until next month. You know this."

"I know. But I think you've been sitting at home for too long now. All you do is eat ice cream and watch TV. You're getting lazy..." He whispered the last part playfully and I pushed him, making him chuckle.

"I'm not ready yet..."

"Do you want me to start getting wise with you?" He threatened.

"Oh God, no! Please no. I'll take it."

His face twisted into a look of mock offence, "Why? What's wrong with me getting wise?"

"Nothing. It's just... I'm not looking for a life lesson right now. Anyways, what do you have?" I asked, slouching further into the couch.

"A friend of mine is having his twenty sixth on the first of July."

"A 'friend' of yours? Do I know him?"

"You don't know everything going on in my life, Scar." I pouted at his statement and he chuckled before throwing an arm around my shoulder and holding me tight. "But, if you must know, he's a friend from work."

"Oh? Is he new?"

"Hm-mh. You know him..." I gave him a look that probably told him that he was wrong. "Taeyong." He cleared up. I tested the name a few times to see if it was familiar. After a few seconds, of silent thinking, I finally got it.

"Oh, Taeyong, the guy with the small face and killer jawline?" I asked with a smile as I thought of the quiet man with eyes that could pierce into your soul, and cat like lips.

"That's the one." He confirmed

"So, you want me organise his birthday party?"

"That's why I'm telling you. We want it to be big. It's a surprise party."

"Okay. Let me write it down then. I'll have to ask Chittaphon for some help." I said as I went to get my diary to note it down. "Why didn't you just ask him anyways?" I whined from my room.

"Because I want you to do it. I'll get the boys so we can talk about the details."

"Whatever." I mumbled as I jotted down the event.

Jungwoo and I went to a local café to meet up with his other friends to talk about the party. They were already seated by the time we got there.

"Over there." Jungwoo whispered to me as we approached a table with a couple of men who were chatting animatedly - well... more like arguing, before they saw us.

One with honey skin and dirty blonde hair spotted us first and motioned to the rest who looked up at us.

"Hey guys, this is Scarlett. The event planner I told you about." Jungwoo said as he sat down. "Scar, these are the boys, Donghyuk, Doyoung, Yuta and Jaehyun."

We all politely bowed to each other before sitting down.

"Jungwoo didn't tell us that you'd be so pretty." The one with longer hair, Yuta said.

I smiled politely as I took out my planner.

"Thank you... You're quite pretty yourself." I teased without looking at him and everyone else snickered. "So, I'm guessing you guys have a theme for this?"

I started off and before long, we had things flowing and ideas flowing from each of the men. About ten minutes later, we were interrupted by a newer, but familiar voice.

"Sorry I'm late guys. Something came up." I looked up to see Dr. Suh, and his eyes immediately landed on me, a smile plastering itself on his lips.

"Scarlett?"

"Uh, what a nice coincidence, Dr. Suh."

"It's Johnny, love. Keep the formalities for the office." He sat down across from me.

"You two know each other?" Doyoung said, with raven hair, cat like lips and cute big eyes.

"Uh, yeah. Her dog had an appointment with Taeil, but he wasn't there so I covered for him. How's Butterfly by the way?"

"Still alright. Still a very happy pup."

"Ohhhh, she's the 'hot babe' you were telling us about!!" Donghyuk exclaimed obnoxiously, causing Johnny to hit his arm as everyone bursted into fits of laughter.

"Okay then. Shall we continue?" Jaehyun, with wavy brown hair, defined features, and dimples, said.

"Please." I confirmed as I went through my notes.

"Did you guys already order?" Johnny asked.

There was a chorus of "yes's" as I went over my notes.

"Scarlett?"

I looked up at the expectant look on his face and shook my head. "Oh no, I'm fine."

"So that's a no." He stood up to go order something.

"Johnny, I'm fine. Please don't waste your money on me."

"Nonsense. I'll be right back." He said with a wink of his eye and I sighed, slightly rolling my eyes.

"Is he always like this?" I whispered to Jaehyun beside me and he gave a low chuckle.

"This is nothing." He said with amusement before we continued with the plans.
