CLUMSY INTERN - CHAPTER 44&45
❀❀❀❀
Min-ji stood right back up hastily not minding the dirt on her body, she began running. Eun-Hae who was grumbling about how careless the person who she hit was became alarmed
She hit Min-ji?
Without wasting any time, she hopped out of the car
“Min-ji!!” She called
Usually Min-ji would snap at her or even ignore her but this time, she ran back into her arms sobbing as she held her tightly
“Please save me…he wants to ki|| me, Eun-Hae please” She sobbed
“Who wants to hurt you, let’s go, maybe it’s dangerous out here” Eun-Hae said and brought her back to her car, she got in too and drove off speedily
Through the drive, she would glance at Min-ji and say soothing words to her
But all the more she was concerned and angered, who in the world would want to hurt Min-ji and why?
Why on earth wasn’t Klein around like she’d instructed him… He’s supposed to be watching her all day and night
That’s what she pays him for!
Soon, they got to the penthouse, Min-ji got out first and held her chest as she steadied her breath
When she was okay, she looked at the house and frowned it still looked the same like 12 years ago. She’d just ignore all hard feelings and spend a night since she’s in danger, her phone isn’t with her too or she’d have preferred not staying in this house
She shrugged and creased her brows thinking about what Hardy said to her… Who wants to end her life badly?
She might be crazy but she’s not troublesome. And that shameless man touched her man’s property, the frown on her face deepened as she resolved to do extra body scrubbing in the bath
“Let’s go in” Eun-Hae said beside her and walked ahead into the house
“Wow” Min-ji exclaimed as she saw the interior, she thought that Eun-Hae might have changed it but it was still like her mother wanted it
“You must be hungry…”
“Thanks Eun-Hae for helping me but I don’t need any more offers… I’m going to bed” She cut her off and went upstairs leaving Eun-Hae with a half smile on her face
At least she didn’t sound too rude today and it was okay with her
Min-ji entered her room and like every other part of the house, it’s arrangement was still the way it was. Every single thing, even her father’s portrait was still in it’s position at the top of her bed, she removed it and pushed it under the bed
“Perfect!” She exclaimed and undressed going into the bathroom
After spending almost 2 hours in the bathroom in the name of total cleansing, she came out wearing a robe, she fell on the bed
“$h|t” She cussed when it occurred to her that she wasn’t with her phone
She laid back in frustration thinking about Ace, and the incident but more about Ace
After a while she drifted into sleep
*~*~*
The last punch Jiwoon threw across Hardy’s face made him pass out instantly
Such a simple mission but he couldn’t bring back a good result. Jiwoon was worried about how he would answer Anna when she calls
“Take him to the torture room” Jiwoon instructed and the other members dragged Hardy’s lifeless body away
He strode to his bedstand and picked the huge already lighted tobacco stick and placed it between his lips, flexing his free arm
Just when he thought he didn’t need to worry, Anna’s call came through
“I’m sorry Nari..that fool messed everything up” He watched the phone ring to the end
She called again
“She’s persistent… I should have done it myself..gosh!” He rasped and switched the phone off
He poured a glass of wisky and drank while still smoking

THE NEXT DAY ∆
[ LEE’S PENTHOUSE : 6:35AM ]
Min-ji came downstairs, dressed in clothes she wore the day before but they had been laundered. She met Eun-Hae coming out from the kitchen
“Good morning Min-ji”
“Hi, bye” She said plainly and walked to the door but turned back feeling she saw something familiar
She was right, her purse was on the table, she went back and picked it checking it’s content eagerly
“How did this get here?” She asked and Eun-Hae smiled
” I sent someone to check the area last night and they found it” Eun-Hae said, she’d called Klein actually and he went to check
” Okay… but wait..” Min-ji creased her brows, “What were you doing at my estate around that time huh? You planned this so you could look like a hero right?”
Eun-Hae gasped shaking her head continuously
“I was going to see you, check on you Min-ji,I’d never do that to you”
“I don’t believe you… You know how much I h@?? you yet you decided to pay me a visit on the same night I was attacked?” Min-ji yelled and she flinched
” Min-ji…”
“You ki||ed my mother already, now you want me too, Eun-Hae you’re a witch!” Min-ji yelled senselessly and stormed out of the house calling Ace as she did
Eun-Hae’s knees failed her and she crashed on the floor, sobbing silently
★★★
[ JOGNO-GU : 7:12AM ]
Rhett opened his eyes to meet a pair of eyes staring directly into his, he blinked and rubbed his face
“Good morning oppa” Maddie grinned looking at how intimate their posture was
Rhett tried standing up but So-hee was still on top of him, he sighed and laid back not minding if Maddie was there. As long as So-hee was comfortable he’s good
“What are you doing up here Maddie?” He asked wrapping his hands round So-hee’s petit frame
“You’re lucky Mandy isn’t the one here… oppa tell me the truth, this pretty unnie is your girlfriend right?” She asked and he nodded
She giggled, “Mandy’s really mad though, she was here too and there’s no guarantee she’d keep shut”
” Who else was here?” He asked
” Just me and Mandy know about this place…but your friends are searching for unnie..”
” So-hee!!!” They heard Ella call desperately, she woke up and didn’t see So-hee on the bed, she thought she might be somewhere around but now she can’t find her
“$h|t!..” Rhett cussed, he knew he could easily announce that he was with her but he didn’t want to anger So-hee
“Mandy and I can help you but Mandy has demands…psst Mandy c’mon” She whistled and Mandy came up frowning
“I can’t believe you betrayed my love Yi-jun but don’t worry, I’ll grow bigger and prettier than unnie then I’ll get you back” She said and Rhett chuckled
This girl has got to be kidding him
“You’ll be perfect for your Mr. Right Mandy besides you’re already beautiful” He said and she blushed
” Let’s wake her up” Maddie said and started tapping So-hee but Rhett laughed shortly, knowing how well that works
His clumsy nerd sleeps like a log of diseased wood and mere tapping will never wake her up
“I have a better idea..” Mandy smirked and without warning she twisted the rope of the hammock and it turned over causing them to fall
So-hee yelped as her rib collided with the ground but the three pressed their palms on her lips
“Shhhh!!”
*~*~*
“So-hee..” Ella called when she saw her jogging to the apartment. For payback, Mandy suggested So-hee ran from the farm field to the apartment pretending she went out for early morning jogs
“You should have asked me to go with you” Ella said and she forced a smile feeling her hurting ribs
As they made way to the house, Felix came out, they stared at each other for a while
“Are you okay?” He asked and she smiled
“Yeah”
He shrugged and went back in bumping into Rhett on the way, he glared at him and moved away
“So-hee you went for a jog?” Rhett asked when he saw So-hee
So-hee rolled her eyes, “Yes boss”
When they walked passed him, he bursted into laughter
Mandy and Maddie walked by dressed in their school uniforms, they winked at him and he smiled
“Bye oppa!!”
★★★
Anna entered the penthouse and went to the dinning area immediately
“Why do you keep calling me mom?” She asked Eun-Hae
Eun-Hae sniffed and showed her a seat across
Anna’s face softened a bit seeing how upset she was, well she’s still her mother right?
“What’s wrong mom, why is your face swollen?”
” I’m glad you still care about me Nari… sit and eat, I prepared your favorite”
They started eating though in silence but Eun-Hae saw how tense she was and decided to speak to lighten up the mood
“Your sister was attacked last night” She said and Anna’s interest peaked
” You mean Min-ji, did she die?” She asked quickly causing Eun-Hae to raise a suspicious brow
“Anna! She’s your sister for God’s sake, why would you want her dead…”
” Did she?”
” No she didn’t, in fact she spent the night here, she left this morning” Eun-Hae stared at her
Anna gritted her teeth stabbing the food imagining it was Jiwoon that stupid fool! He didn’t complete the job, so that’s why he refused to pick her calls
“Nari..”
“I’m full mom…bye and never call me again” She snapped and left the place
Eun-Hae squinted her brows and put a call across to Klein
“I can’t believe I’m doing this but… investigate my daughter… Nari” She said sadly and ended the call

[ AJ GROUP OF COMPANIES ]
“You look so cute so who exactly would want to hurt you” Ace rasped pacing angrily in his office
Min-ji called in sick at work so she decided to stay with Ace the whole day, she narrated everything to him
“I’m fine now aren’t I?”
“You don’t understand Min-ji, if anything happened to you last night, I wouldn’t be able to live” He said staring into her eyes and she pouted
“I love you Ace… thank you for caring so much about me” She hugged him and he hugged her back
When they broke off, he sat on his chair with her on his lap
He made a call, “My girlfriend was attacked last night by a goon, I want you to find him and bring him to me by the end of today”
Min-ji giggled, ” today? That’s too small of a time Ace, he needs a lot time to investigate and..”
” I don’t care, I pay him to find out things so I decide the deadline and when it comes to you…” He smirked and she grinned, she sat properly and kissed him on the lips
Anna barged in at that moment, Ace saw her first and before Min-ji could turn, he pulled her back and brought her face close, slamming his lips on hers to engage in a sensual kiss
“You can leave now ma’am” His secretary smirked at her
She glared at them heaving angrily before leaving
Min-ji is still alive for real… she balled her fist and walked faster
★★
Ella kept laughing as she flaunted her fish around, they actually went out fishing with some of the older men in the village
She made a pose and Rhett took a pic with his camera .. not the small one tho
“How do you do that?” So-hee asked, she’s the only one who still hadn’t caught one
“It’s patience So-hee” Ella said and dropped her fish into an old man’s basket
” Thank you dear” He said showing off his brownish teeth, she shuddered and smiled
“Let me teach you” Felix came close to her and she smiled
He collected her fishing line and fixed another bait on it, then threw it in the water
“You should move it already” So-hee whined impatiently
“You need to be patient and wait for the fish So-hee… if you keep moving the bait, they’ll get the hint and…” He stopped when he felt something on the line
” Pull it out Felix, quick, quick!!” She yelled clapping gleefully
Rhett smiled and clicked her photos
“Is it a fish?” Ella joined them
“It feels bigger than a fish” Felix said as he tried pulling the line out if the water, they were a now watching him
“Do you think it’s something else..like a crocodile?” So-hee asked and Ella smirked
” Stop being a baby So-hee, they can’t be crocs in this stream” She said and bent to look at the water properly
“Wait! So-hee is right, it’s a crocodile!!” Felix left the line and moved back
Rhett looked up from his camera, alarmed but a man shook his head at him so he nodded understandably
“Argh!!” So-hee screamed and in the process of running away, she bumped into Ella and they both fell in the water
“Help!!”
“I don’t want to die..”
Felix and the others were trying not to laugh at their scared faces
“Argh!! It’s eating my legs!;” So-hee screamed and jumped on Ella
Rhett clicked multiple photos of them in their miserable state
“Why are you guys not helping us!” So-hee yelled and Ella made a sad face, she was on the verge of tears
“That’s because there’s no crocodile..just like Ella said” Rhett directed a stare at Ella and she gasped
They tricked them.. and she was right all along
They bursted into laughter including the old men
“How dare you!!!” She ran out of the water and began chasing after them while So-hee got out and sat watching them, she would throw stones at intervals
“Come back here you two…I’ll ki|| you!!” Ella yelled running after them and So-hee stood up to help

MELODY HIGH : FEMALE’S RESTROOM
Juni was done with her business, she washed her hand and was about leaving when Alisa and Vera entered looking menacingly at her
She shifted back
“Well..look who it is.” Vera mocked and Alisa smirked still moving forward
Juni started panicking, she met with the wall at the last step so now Alisa was in front of her
“Let’s redecorate you shall we?”
“No..let me go” Juni yelled as the girls held her down and cut small portions of her hair, after they were done
“Her body?” Vera smirked wickedly and kicked her in the stomach twice
Alisa punched her face and she yelped in pain, she fell on the floor weakly
“And cologne?” Vera held her by the hair and Alisa opened the WC
Vera dipped her face continously in the WC till she wasn’t struggling
“And we’re done” Vera said and high-five Alisa victoriously, they glared at Juni’s lifeless body on the restroom floor before leaving
