CLUMSY INTERN - CHAPTER 42&43
❀❀❀❀
NEXT DAY
Yuri waved her parents goodbye as she ran outside, dressed for school. She went to where her bicycle was parked and wheeled it to the road before mounting on it
Moon stepped out of his house at that moment, he smiled when he saw her
They’re now friends which means he’d stop ignoring her
“Good morning neighbor…” He said as he got to where she was
She glanced at him, ” Hi…”
She started peddling while he jogged behind
“Your sis..”
“Don’t worry about Min-ji, she won’t tell” She said and he nodded
Min-ji was the one who saw them last night, she came to sleep in Yuri’s room since she wasn’t comfortable in hers
She suddenly stopped
“Are you going to jog all the way to school?”
“Nope, I’m taking the bus” He replied
” Why don’t you use your car?”
“I h@?? driving… Besides I haven’t renewed my license yet, so..?” He said and she nodded thoughtfully
” Ohh… Okay bye…see you at school” She waved and pedalled faster
Moon watched her with a smile before heading towards the bus station
< MELODY HIGH >
Juni stood in front of her locker reading a novel, she came a little bit earlier today and she’s bored since Moon’s not yet in school
She was enjoying her lone company till Alisa decided to ruin it by slapping the book off her hands
“What..” She glared at Alisa
Alisa frowned and folded her arms under her B-__-bs, she looked her up and scowled
Juni is really pretty and anyone would like her but she’s just plain looking and that irritates her
When she found nothing reasonable to say, she scoffed moving closer to Juni
Juni gulped, feeling scared already..
“I just h@?? you…stay away from Moon,” She warned
“He doesn’t even know you exist Alisa… You’re so desperate” Juni said shocking Alisa to the bone, she leaned forward and grabbed her hair yanking it angrily
“He called me a ?îtçh because of you…ugly slug!!” She kept ranting as she pulled on Juni’s hair
“Hey stop!” Jack who just arrived school called from the entrance,he ran towards them and pushed Alissa aside
“Alisa!! Are you high on drugs?” He yelled and she flinched
He faced Juni worriedly, “Are you okay? Did she hurt you? And is your beautiful face still there?”
Alisa scoffed and stormed off
” Gosh, everyone’s crazy!!” She screamed
” Hey girl” Vera ran after her, and when she caught up, she held her hand
” That girl, I h@?? her… She’s taking all the attention from me!” Alisa snapped and Vera chuckled
” You mean Juni? How about we teach her a lesson and ruin that cute face of hers” Vera suggested and she stopped walking getting Interested but frowned almost immediately
“Did you call her face cute? Argh!” She yelled out in frustration and ran off
” Hey I didn’t mean to… Wait bestie” Vera ean after her
Juni collected the book from Jack and smiled cutely at him
“Thanks..”
“You should punch her anytime she troubles you so she will get off her high horse… If you don’t know how to fight I can teach you” He offered
” You know how to fight? ” She asked and he almost jumped in excitement, his crush is actually speaking to him
“Nope… But I can teach you” He said and she laughed
” Thanks but no thanks, I’m scared of fighting, it’s so traumatizing…” She shrugged and waved at him, ” see you around”
He stood there blushing stupidly as she walked down the hall
“Someone’s grown some balls… I can’t wait to tell Yuri about this” Blake grinned, standing behind him
” Please don’t tell her, she’ll never let me live in peace if she knows.. ”
” Knows what! ” They flinched, slowly turning to meet Yuri staring weirdly at them
” Nothing”
“Hmm… Okay” Yuri shrugged and they did their signature handshake

8:30PM: APARTMENT
As usual, So-hee got out of bed late. She’s sharing a room with Ella on insistence tho, since Ella wants to get every detail of her relationship
Groggily, she headed to the bathroom, as she got there, her phone rang and it was Min-ji
She smiled swiping the green icon hastily
“Kim So-hee!”
“Lee Min-ji!!” They called at the same time and laughed
They both miss each other so much even though it’s been just a day
Few minutes later, she was dressed in a simple gown and flip flops ready to go see the others
“Good morning everyone” She said itching her head as they suddenly made her the center of attention
“You sleep like a log So-hee, do you know who hard I tried waking you up?” Ella said and she bit her lip
” We’ve even been to the beach..” Rhett lied and she gasped
She missed the beach? Gawd, why does she always sleep so much
Felix walked to her front and rubbed her hair, she pouted and stomped her feet childishly
“Are you hungry?” He asked and without waiting for her reply he held her hand and took her to the kitchen
Rhett frowned and scoffed loudly, Ella looked at him with creased brows
“Boss are you okay… All well?” She asked and he nodded
While having breakfast, So-hee got to know that try were just pulling her legs. After she was done, she went to the living room
“Felix and So-hee will get groceries from the market” Ella suggested
Rhett snapped his gaze at her, why is she bent on pairing his nerd up with Felix, it just seems like she’s after his life
“Why did Lucy add her to our group..” He grumbled
” No, she’s new here…so let her stay back..” He said
“We’re all new here duh? Besides they’re the people who know much about the kitchen so they’ll know what’s best to get” Ella explained and his shoulders fell
After much arguments, Felix and So-hee left for the market in Rhett’s car and Felix couldn’t be more happier
“Don’t worry bunny, we’ll have a great time together” He said and So-hee forced a smile
She didn’t want Ella and Rhett to stay alone together, she doesn’t trust Ella and her big mouth…
Besides, what if she seduces him with her huge @zz
With all these thoughts running through her head, she didn’t realize when she took her phone and sent Rhett a message
***
Back in the house, without So-hee around, Rhett locked himself up in his room
He left Ella downstairs surfing the internet
He recalled the smile on Felix’s face when he left with her, what if he brainwashes her and make her like him instead
No, she’s smarter than that but he couldn’t help but feel restless
His phone beeped indicating a message, he picked the phone and hastily tapped on the message when he saw it was from So-hee
★Stay in your room and lock the door★
He chuckled when he pieced together the message, it was clear she was feeling the same way as he was
★Anything for you miss clumsy★ He texted back and laid down on the bed, smiling
★★★
< SHINE >
Vivian kept glancing at Lucy as she worked on her laptop, she’d even lean back just to watch her
She just noticed Lucy looked thinner and paler from the time she started working here
She sighed
She still didn’t want to believe the report she found yesterday was for Lucy… It stated that the patient in concern had a deadly heart disease unfortunately, she didn’t read more than that
But she was still shocked and worried…
“Vivian!!” She jerked up when she heard Lucy calling her name. She blinked and cleared her throat
“Yes Lucy what can I do for you?” She asked
“Nothing… You were lost so I decided to check, everything okay? ” Lucy asked
” Yeah… Lucy is everything okay with you, you look pale? ” She asked and Lucy forced a smile
” I’m fine” She lied through her teeth
” Okay, I’ll go get cold coffee… God I miss So-hee” Vivian cooed and Lucy laughed nervously
Lucy watched her leave the workspace before releasing the breath she was holding due to the sharp pain in her chest
She hurriedly took out her container of drugs and poured the contents on her hand before swallowing it
“I’m sorry..” She whispered and sniffed
★★★
“You mean all of them are on vacation?” Zoey stood up and paced about her office
There were left with just a few weeks to publish, her company was still working hard to put things together then how in the world did Shine get the time for a holiday
“Ma’am we need something juicy for our front cover else…” Harold trailed
” Just leave” She sent him out and just when she thought she’d think in peace, she started hearing noises from her boss’s office
She sighed and walked out, she got stunned when she saw the employees eavesdropping
“Back to work!!” She dismissed and they scurried off. Turning back, she bumped into someone, none other than her boss’s wife looking flared up
“I’m sorry ma’am” She apologized with a fake smile
“You don’t need to act Zoey, wretched woman… You’re so shameless to have an affair with my husband but you know what, you can have that leftover rotten thing after our divorce” She said and walked away colliding forcefully with her
Zoey scowled at her retreating figure before entering Mr. Choi’s office
“Baby..”
“Get out Zoey”
“What!”
“Out!!” He yelled and she flinched before running out
“Who did this..!!” He rasped ruffling his hair continuously as he clenched and unclenched his fists
The video of him and Zoey meeting up and sharing a passionate kiss was all over the net
“I’m doomed…” He thought and picked his car keys
★★★
JOGNO-GU: A PARK
How they ended up in the park was something So-hee didn’t know but now the problem was, the kids having a birthday party and MC that was present kept chanting for them to kiss, having mistaken them for a couple
KISS
KISS
“Let’s just do it since they’re insisting..” Felix whispered and her eye twitched
“No… No, we can’t…”
“But he’s your boyfriend right?” A chubby kid asked and the others nodded gleefully
She looked pleadingly at the MC but she just shrugged
“Felix, we can’t do that..” She whispered
“Why?” He asked
” Because… I can’t kiss you, and you can’t kiss me” She explained but swiftly, he grabbed her waist and she slammed on to his chest
“But I wanna kiss you..” He said and looked at her lips wishfully
She shook her head, as she thought of what to do… Nobody apart from Rhett didn’t have any right to touch or kiss her, she just felt entitled to that and she wanted to hold on to it
And Felix, is he drunk?
“He’s my brother… I can’t kiss my brother right?” She said stunning both the kids and Felix
He let go of her and chuckled exasperatedly, running a hand through his hair
When did he become So-hee’s brother?
He shook his head and went back to the car, he stood outside
🗣️ That would be gross
🗣️ Ewwww
“Bye, my brother is waiting..” So-hee stressed and ran off to catch up with Felix
” I’m sorry, I lied but look we didn’t have to kiss..” she shrugged
“If it were Rhett would you have called him your brother too?” He asked coldly and she gulped down nothing knowing she would have kissed Rhett unrestricted
But why was Felix taking it personal? She thought they both didn’t want the kiss
“Felix I can’t kiss my friends…if we did that it would have been awkward between us” She said and he nodded before entering the car
She creased her brows and entered too
“Is Rhett your friend?” He asked with a straight face
“He’s my boss!” She answered and he smirked, realizing he actually lost… And it hurt like hell, he felt his heart being ripped apart with no remorse
He shut his eyes and grabbed the steering wheel angrily…
Even without been straightforward, she chose Rhett over him
“Felix…”
He didn’t reply, instead he ignited the engine and drove away. They remained in uncomfortable silence
**
“Finally!!” Ella groaned as she opened the door and saw them holding shopping bags
“I can’t believe it took you guys a whole day to shop for groceries…or did you guys go on a date too..” She giggled
Rhett was still in his room
Felix entered and gave her the bags he was holding then went upstairs without uttering a word
“Hey what the heck!!” Ella exclaimed looking quizzically at So-hee
So-hee sighed giving her bags too, ran upstairs leaving Ella to make more assumptions
“Aww, their first fight…I’m sure they’ll sort it out soon” She said silently and giggled
“But hey people, we’re here for a vacation…not to stay in our rooms all day!! This is why I wish I went to Busan instead!” she yelled and went to the kitchen to stock up
★★
< 8:30PM: THE CITY >
A light groan left Min-ji’s lips as she locked up the apartment, she just got back from work and found no food
Yeah, she also just remembered that So-hee isn’t around to take care of her
Argh
Now, she was going to the restaurant down the road to get some food
She decided to stroll there, she clutched her bag closely as she walked humming a song to herself
Someone cleared their throat behind her, she halted and exhaled before continuing her walk
Hardy smirked and continued following her, Jiwoon actually sent him to ki|| her so he was taking his time, infact he had other plans since she was looking so ?ëx¥
Min-ji began feeling uncomfortable and increased her pace, her heart beating erratically…She started regretting not using her car
“You’re gonna die anyway…So just slow down” Hardy laughed and her heart skipped a beat, she was gonna die?
She quickened her pace almost running, Hardy’s cackling laughter was making her panic, no one had to tell her that he was the same man she’d seen outside So-hee’s house last night
“Stop following me…” She stuttered without looking back and he chuckled grabbing her butt, she jerked as she didn’t expect he’d be close
“You going to die Lee Min-ji but before that how about we have some fun, I wanna have a taste of what that billionaire is having..” He slurred and she let her bag fall as she wiggled out of his hold
She started running… Tears pricked her eyes and her breath was ragged
Why didn’t she move in with Ace sooner…
Who was that man and why did he want her dead?
“Wait up baby..” He was almost catching up with her
For the first time in her life, she regretted living in an estate, everyone was indoors and the houses had thick walls
“Stay away from me, please” She cried as he caught her by the arm, He smiled creepily and slapped her across the face
“Stay away… Nah, I want you badly…” She slapped him across the face and ran off again now in the middle of the road not minding.
“Anna wants her alive Hardy.. just bring her to the ware house” A voice instructed him through his ear pods
He huffed with and ran after her cussing under his breath
Min-ji kept running till she got round the street, but before she could stop, she collided with a car and fell to the floor with a loud shriek
“$h|t..” Hardy cussed and left the place stealthily
★★
Rhett couldn’t sleep a wink. He’d stayed indoors all day and was starting to feel the vacation was the worst ever
He got out of bed and picked his small camera before leaving his room
He gasped when he bumped into someone on his way downstairs
So-hee was also frightened, she was going to get water, she used the lighting from her phone to see who it was
“Hey Yi-jun” She smiled but he dragged her to the back door that she didn’t know existed and then there was a ladder that led to the roof?
“Wanna watch the stars with me?” He asked and she nodded, he glanced back into the room before proceeding to climb up the ladder
She followed till they got to the rooftop of the apartment
“Wow..this place is great and the sky is pretty from here.”
“The sky is pretty from every angle miss clumsy” Rhett said and sat on the hammock that was neatly prepared
So-hee was just there not moving, she was wondering where she’d sit
“So-hee..” Rhett called and laid down, taking photos with the camera, luckily it had night vision. She smiled and got in and since the bed was small and wiggly, their bodies were in close contact sending shivers down her spine
They were in silence enjoying the cool breeze and the view of the sky till So-hee spoke
“How did you find this place?”
“My grandparents owned this place… Grandpa used to spend most of his day up here…” He sighed and adjusted
So-hee thought of something crazy, she bit her lip and shifted laying on top of him
“Baby..” Rhett blinked
“It’s more comfortable like this” She mumbled and he nodded
“Yeah..” He caressed her hair and back, kissing her hair at intervals
They remained that way till they drifted into sleep
