CLUMSY INTERN - CHAPTER 32&33
✫❀ ❀✯
Rhett made sure she was still before letting go of her waist
She smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear
“What are you doing here?” She asked
“I’m here to see you” He smirked and her face reddened immediately, she totally forgot about Min-ji whom she was running after
“Really?” She asked and he laughed cutely, how gullible can she be, he was definitely not there for her but was glad to see her anyway
Felix balled his fists angrily and stepped forward, he’s had enough of Rhett’s antics.
“Bunny” He called and touched her shoulder, that’s when Rhett realized he was there
“Hey you’re here too…I guess the gym lives up to it’s name” He smiled
“So-hee what about your friend” Felix asked ignoring him
So-hee gasped with lit up eyes and hit her head, she totally forgot about Min-ji when she saw Rhett…what is it about him that makes her stupid each time she sees him
“Yeah, I gotta go” She said and dashed out of the building
Felix glared at Rhett before following behind
Rhett smirked as he watched them run out, he turned back only to meet the flirty stares of ladies
“Maybe this was a wrong idea…argh..” He groaned and walked in further
***
Meanwhile, farther away from the gym, Min-ji was sitting on a bench, seriously brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth
Balls of tears rolled down her eyes as she did, what would Ace think of her now?
She was still at it, when someone snatched the toothbrush away from her. She stood up and gasped when she saw Ace smiling at her, looking as hot as ever
“Where did you get a toothbrush from?” He asked with a short laugh and she pouted
“I have one in my car” She sat down, sniffing. She then quickly wiped her face
“You have this in your car? Don’t tell me you also have towels in your car in case you need an emergency bath someday” He teased before seating next to her
“Let me see” He said and she showed him her teeth, before giggling
“Min…” So-hee stopped midway when she saw Ace already with her and laughing too
“Oh good, she’s okay” She whispered to Felix and he nodded
“Let’s go somewhere else” Felix suggested
“Let’s go back to the gym… our things are still in there”
“We can get those tomorrow, just forget about them” He tried convincing her but her mind was made up, because she had another objective which was seeing Rhett again
Only the thought of that made butterflies erupt in her tummy
“Are you coming along?” She asked and reluctantly he agreed
Ace stared at Min-ji’s giggling face for a moment and sighed
“Why were you upset the other day… I’m sorry if I hurt you”
“No you didn’t, I guess I was being a nut job” She said fiddling with her fingers nervously
There was silence…
“You and my sister.. what happened?” She finally asked
“She dumped me” He said and her breath stifled
“Oh”
“But that’s all in the past now, I don’t love her anymore…”
“You don’t?” She asked and he looked at her, smirking
“Maybe I still do”
She blinked and pressed her lips together
“She’s more prettier than me anyway” She mumbled inaudibly
“Min-ji are you listening to me?” Ace asked tapping her lightly, she scoffed loudly and stood up abruptly feeling very angry all of a sudden
“I have to go, bye”
Ace stood up, smiling widely
‘Is she jealous?’ He thought and grabbed her hand
“Hey not cool, you can’t leave…not again, stay with me” He said and she frowned
“Go stay with Nari, she must be waiting for you…gosh I can’t believe I kissed you” she ranted angrily and he kept smiling
“Why should I go stay with her?
“Didn’t you just say you still love her? Just go away from me” She yelled out, now very pissed and frustrated
Ace watched in awe
‘She’s really mad’ He thought
“Let go” She yanked his hand away and began walking towards her car, mumbling incoherent words while on the verge of crying
She got to her car and opened the door but he was quick to slam it close
“I was only kidding and you took me serious… I don’t love her, I love someone else” He said and she blinked back her tears
“I fell in love with her at first sight actually…she troubled me alot when we first met, who does that?” He chuckled but she remained silent, her chest rising and falling slowly, she troubled him truly
He moved back slowly and folded his arms across his chest
“Anna broke me and my self esteem…initially I h@??d her but my mom made me understand it was for the best, I worked very hard just to get to here… in other words her humiliation did help me, but the truth is it’s never gonna happen between me and her ever again!” He said and she jumped on him looping her hands over his neck
“I love you Min-ji… there’s no one else but you” He said and held her tightly
“Bluebell..” She whispered and he laughed
“Sugarplum…you’re so impossible, I still can’t believe you keep a toothbrush in your car” He teased and she giggled
“It’s for emergency purposes like earlier” She said and gasped pulling away
“Did you murder him?” She asked referring to Ho-Seok
“Nah…maybe… I don’t know” He said and she punched him playfully
The next minute, he pinned her back to her car and slammed his lips on hers, kissing her with every emotions in him and she responded with the same zeal
“Be my girlfriend Min-ji” He said after they pulled away
Min-ji blushed on hearing those words, she was still panting due to how rough the k@zz was
She looked up and found him waiting, hopefully
“Please, never hurt me…I wouldn’t be able to take it”
“I will never..I swear” He whispered and she nodded
“Yes.. I’ll..” She was yet to complete her statement when he went for her lips again but this time slowly
She has no idea how badly he’s wanted to do that to her cute lips
She closed her eyes and deepened the kiss
★★★
The third time So-hee will fall on her butt while trying to lift a weight very heavy.
“Gosh!” She pouted
Rhett and Felix couldn’t stop laughing, they both stepped away from the treadmill and came to help her up at the same time
But Felix was faster
“Just admit, lifting weights isn’t for you” He chuckled and she grumbled
“How’s your butt?” Rhett asked, smirking and she blushed at his use of words
She touched her a** discreetly and shrugged
“If you can’t lift weights, trying running on the mill” Felix suggested and she declined, she was already too tired and quite hungry
“Dinner?” Rhett asked after observing her expression, she smiled and nodded
He went over to where Min-ji’s bag lay and picked it before coming back to them
“C’mon” He tried holding her hand but Felix beat him to it…
So-hee saw him frown, she stylishly moved away from Felix and began walking ahead of them
Rhett smirked and eyed Felix
“Wait! What about Min-ji?” She halted in her tracks, and as if on cue a text from Min-ji popped up in her phone
“She ditched me for a date with Ace? How could you Min-ji” She stated, frowning playfully after reading the message
“Shall we?” Rhett asked as he was now in front
She looked at his segzy back, drooling stupidly
“Bunny..”
“Y..yes” She stuttered and briskly walked away leaving Felix somewhat defeated, he sighed and reluctantly dragged himself after them
Ho-Seok saw them leaving, he covered his bruised face and ran out. He was scared of getting another beating so he waited patiently for them to leave first
“That Ace of a guy…he stole Min-ji from me” He seethed thinking of what to do next, he got into his car and drove away from the gym speedily
Minutes later, Rhett stopped the car by a outdoor restaurant, So-hee had suggested it actually so he didn’t object
“Min-ji and I love her rice cakes, they’re so delicious and spicy..just perfect, I’m sure you guys will love it too” She squealed and hopped out of the backseat
“You guys reserve a table, I’ll park somewhere more appropriate” Rhett said more like to himself since Felix and So-hee were long gone
After parking the car, he returned to their table. He was impressed with the services, other people were also there mostly drinking and chatting
“Good evening lady and gentlemen” A young boy greeted them with a bow
“Yo-yo” So-hee called and the boy gasped, “So-hee…um where’s aunt Min-ji”
“She’s not here today…meet my bosses” She said and the boy nodded bowing again
Rhett smiled
“Should I get the usual?”
“Yes sure” She nodded and the boy scurried off
“Wow bunny, never knew you were such a social person” Felix complimented
Soon Yo-yo returned to their table accompanied by another waiter holding four trays with different dishes, they dropped it
“Enjoy” He sang
Rhett and Felix looked at everything with jaws dropped
“This is the usual?” Rhett finally spoke
“What, it’s not enough? I’ll ask him to bring more… Yo-yo!” She called out
“More? Can you see the content on this table So-hee, it’s more than we can consume” Felix said, unbelievably
So-hee shrugged, this is exactly how she and Min-ji orders but they always finish everything and sometimes even order more, so why are they making a big deal out of it
“Quit whining guys and eat” She said as she picked up her chopsticks
“And here’s three bottles of soju” Yo-yo said as he dropped the drinks
So-hee’s eyes widened
“No take one away…and get beer instead” She instructed
“Are you scared you might get drunk?” Rhett teased and she smirked to his surprise
“No Yi-jun, I’m scared YOU might get drunk” She said and Felix chuckled
“She’s right, this is not your usual alcohol..it’s stronger and if care isn’t taken you might get drunk…I mean since you’re still mommy’s baby” Felix smirked and he frowned collecting the bottle from Yo-yo
“Get six more bottles” He announced and both of them gasped
“Okay sir!”
“What!!”
“Don’t worry about me, I can hold my alcohol” He said and opened the bottle
“Dude, are you sure?” Felix asked feeling concerned now
Rhett just smirked and glared at So-hee and she shrugged
AN HOUR LATER★
Rhett was drunk and so was Felix though he was kinda still in his right frame of mind
So-hee shook her head as she watched them arm wrestle, while laughing hysterically
She was still sober and could still take more bottles if she wished all thanks to her dad’s early lessons about drinking. She used to drink with him when she was younger so her system is used to it
“I can’t believe this! I’m stuck with two drunk guys” She sighed tiredly as they laughed again shaking each other
It was very late and the restaurant was about to close.
“You won again…hmph” Rhett said drunkenly to Felix
“And I’ll keep winning no matter how hard you try” Felix replied and they laughed like it was funny
So-hee stood up, “We need to get going, I’ll go get his car” She directed her stare at Felix and he nodded, smilingly
She left. Rhett watched her retreating figure and smiled
“I love her” He said and hiccuped
“I love her too” Felix said and they glared at each other, laughing again
“Let’s place a bet, anyone who wins gets her” Felix smirked and placed his hand forward, he knew that winning Rhett was a piece of cake now that he was drunk
Rhett placed his palm on his and they started struggling to bring the other down but surprisingly he wasn’t backing down
Felix smirked when he was about winning
“Hey… Zoey what are you doing here?” Rhett suddenly said looking over Felix’s shoulder, Felix turned back and before he could realize what was going on, Rhett brought his hand down then bursted into laughter
“You tricked me” Felix seethed getting sober instantly
“She’s mine” Rhett kept laughing, “Everything… is fair… in… love and war” He hiccuped still laughing
For a moment, Felix felt he wasn’t drunk but he was drunk for real
He balled his fist about to punch him when So-hee ran back. She went to Rhett’s side and dragged him up and he hugged her drunkenly
“So-hee why are you so clumsy?” He hiccuped and pouted, she smiled
Felix shut his eyes, it was better than watching the heartbreaking scene in front of him
“Meanie come and help me” He opened his eyes and stared blankly at her then at Rhett who was clinging to her
“O.. okay” He got up and held him assisting her to the car
“What do we do now?” He asked as he got into the car with her
“I know where he lives, we’ll take him home” She answered and started the car
Felix almost gasped but held it in, she knows where he lives?? How? Why? And what took her to his apartment in the first place
He glanced behind at Rhett who was now half asleep and clenched his jaws, his heart raging with jealousy
***
After placing him on the bed, she picked the jug by the bed and asked Felix to refill it while she took off Rhett’s sneakers
“Why?” Felix asked feeling mad and jealous at the same time, why was she so worried about him, he was also light-headed but she didn’t seem to care
“He’ll need it in the morning to take the painki||ers” She replied and dropped a tablet on the drawer.
Reluctantly, Felix went to the kitchen
So-hee knelt on one knee on the bed looking at Rhett’s face
“Don’t worry about me, I can hold my alcohol” She jested and touched his hair, biting her lips
She started giggling
“Let’s go” Felix said coldly as he entered with the jug of water, he dropped it and without waiting for her, he stormed out
“Goodnight Yi-jun” She waved and left too, not before switching off the lights
She entered the elevator with Felix, till they exited he didn’t glance at her or even say a word, he jogged away the moment the doors opened
“Goodnight…don’t forget to take painki||ers tomorrow morning” She yelled out and went her way
‘I wonder why he’s acting up’ She thought to herself flagging down a cab

<< THE NEXT DAY ≈ MELODY HIGH >>
Yu-ri hopped out of Blake’s car and ran into the school hurriedly. She went straight to her locker and opened it rummaging through impatiently
“Where is it?” She mumbled as she went through the books
“Where…where” She mouthed
“What are you looking for?” Jack asked startling her, she turned and flickered his forehead
“Aigoo” He whined
She rolled her eyes and stood with hands akimbo
“I kept it in my room…. Was it mom? No, she’d never…So-hee? Nope, she h@??s my room with passion” She kept murmuring
Jack and Blake just watched her
She glared at them, “To your lockers, I wanna search there too” She snapped
“Yes boss” They chorused and led the way
Outside, a blue sports car drove into the school’s parking lot dragging all attention to it. The door opened and a cute guy stepped out of it, he smirked and rubbed his dark hair segzily
🗣️ OMG, who’s he?
🗣️ Gawwd, he’s so hot
🗣️ Look at his segzy pink lips
He winked at the girls and most of them fell down dramatically while others frantically fanned themselves
He placed his hands in his pocket before walking inside the building
“Moon’s cuter and hotter” Alisa shrugged but Vera was busy drooling so she didn’t hear anything
“Where is my art book!!!!” Yu-ri yelled stomping about
“Wait, you mean your art book??” Blake asked with wide eyes, he knows how important that book is to her and now it’s missing
All hell might break loose because of this
“Calm down Yu-ri” Jack said but she frowned running out towards the exit, she was about running past Alisa when Vera placed her leg in the way
She tripped over but fell on top of Moon who just entered, his bag opened and his books fell out. Yu-ri sat up straddling him but her eyes saw another familiar book amongst his things, she moved away from him and picked the book
“Ya…my baby” She giggled kissing the book continuously
Moon stood up scratching his head guiltily, he’d actually sneaked into her room out of boredom when she wasn’t around last night, he found the book laying carelessly on the floor and when he went through it, it was paintings and drawings
He didn’t even intend giving it to her but now with the deadly glare she was throwing his way, he blinked
“How did that get into my bag?” He asked nervously and took to his heels out of the building
“You…I’ll ki|| you” She seethed and followed pushing Juni out of the way
She just got there and saw Moon running out
“What happened?” She asked no one in particular
Gavin smirked from where he had been watching, especially Yu-ri
“She’s very interesting…I like her” He thought before heading to the principal’s office
★★
<< SHINE ≈ RHETT’S OFFICE >>
It took everything in So-hee not to laugh at Rhett’s miserable state at that moment
She was standing in front of his desk holding a stack of papers. He was seated with his back against her and his hand holding his aching head
He removed the hand and picked the air-conditioner remote switching it on
“Sir?”
“Just drop it and leave So-hee” He said tiredly and she dropped it
She made to leave but turned back, laughing hardly
“I watched a movie yesterday sir” She said between fits of laughter
“Don’t..” He warned but she stubbornly continued, moving close to his chair
“The main lead was like…no don’t worry about me, I never get drunk…I can stand my liquor” She said in a mocking voice and Rhett scoffed
“Are you making fun of me?” He asked with a pout
“Sir it was really funny” She laughed holding her tummy
Rhett huffed and spinned his chair round getting her off guard as she was standing really close to it…
He gasped when she fell on him and in the attempt of holding her close, their lips collided
So-hee could feel her heart beating violently, her eyes widened in shock
“She’s mine” He recalled saying to Felix and smirked against her lips
He grabbed her head and deepened the kiss, sucking on her lips like his life depended on it
