CLUMSY INTERN - CHAPTER 48&49
❀❀❀❀
“Arghhh!!”
Ella and So-hee took out their phones and went to the hall ready to make videos
“I think Rhett’s more scared” Ella said, So-hee laughed and nodded
She knows he’s terribly scared of insects, and somehow, she was feeling bad for doing this to him
While they were still laughing, Felix dashed out of his room holding his pillow and shaking his body crazily, he looked terrified
“Don’t tell me..” So-hee laughed and Ella grinned sinisterly
” Yes, yes, yes, I placed them in his clothes” She said and So-hee’s laughter increased
Felix glared at them and threw the pillow but they ducked
“You… Ella!!” He gritted
Rhett soon ran out of his too, gasping for air, he wrapped his duvet round his body
“There are huge…” He stopped when he saw the girls laughing hard, then it occurred to him, So-hee was there to prank him
He gasped, “So-hee!!”
•••
^^ MORNING ^^
It was a laughing spree in the house, well apart from Felix and Rhett. The twins were also around with madam Momo.
Ella and So-hee showed them the video they made of them last night in their terrified state
“Thanks girls for helping us get those little giants” So-hee said and high-five the twins at the same time
“Anything for you pretty unnie” They chorused, still laughing
Madam Momo brought breakfast from her house and they ate together though Felix and Rhett were quiet all through
So-hee tried talking to Rhett but he ignored her, she knew he was mad at her and it hurt her badly.
“So-hee what’s this on your neck?” Maddie asked and she jerked standing up, she started rubbing her neck fearfully
Maddie chuckled
“There’s no insect, it’s just a bruise” She said and So-hee sat down, her lips forming an OH shape, she thought it was a spider or something else
“A bruise?” She rhetorically questioned
Mandy moved closer and whispered with a smile
“A love bite” So-hee gasped and blinked, her cheeks became rosy instantly as she recalled how she got it
“Something bit me so it turned to a bruise.. I rubbed it too much I guess” She clarified and glanced at Rhett, he was smirking
Felix balled his fist and stood up abruptly, he casted a gaze at So-hee before leaving
“He’s still mad at you girls” Momo spoke and Ella laughed
“He’s not seen anything yet, wait till the others call” She said and Rhett gasped
” You sent it to the others??”
Ella and So-hee smiled
“Yep!!”
His jaws dropped

★DAYS LATER★
< JOGNO-GU SQUARE ~ HARVEST CELEBRATION >
It’s the harvest festival, people are flooded in the town’s square showcasing all types of produces from their farms
Colorful array of flowers were placed around the square. Children were giggling as they ran about
Rhett’s car came to a halt outside the place
“I regret regretting having come here, this place is dope” Ella blabbered as they got out of the car
So-hee’s eyes widened at the sight of the decorations
“Let’s go in… I’m hungry” Ella whined walking ahead of them
So-hee was about going in too when both Felix and Rhett grabbed her hands
They locked gazes, none willing to let go
“Guys… let’s go together” She grinned and pulled them with her
Madam Momo came to meet them, she also had a stall set up. She was glad they came
“I didn’t think you’d remember” She gushed happily and they smiled
“So-hee remembered luckily” Ella mumbled inaudibly
She led them to the main center where they could see every item
“Where are the twins?” Felix asked
“Those girls are out causing mischief..” She sighed, shaking her head, “Anyways, you guys can go around and pick some things” She said
After a short talk, she returned to her stall leaving them to themselves
“Everybody brought their cameras or phones right?” Rhett asked and they nodded
“Let’s split up and take some shots, good shots for the magazine… I’ll have a word with the older people” He instructed and left So-hee’s hand, she squeezed her face slightly
He glanced sweetly at her before walking away, Ella also left in another direction. She was left with Felix, he also left her hand and began walking away without saying anything to her
“Hey meanie..” She ran after him
“I thought you forgot about that… the name, ever since we got here you’ve been acting strange” He said and she frowned, blinking rapidly
” Strange? How?”
“You’ve changed So-hee, seriously” He said and picked a flower for her, it was a Lily
“Thanks. Did I do anything wrong? Is it about the grasshopper prank?” She laughed, he was forced to laugh too
He stared at her for a while, he needed to tell her how he felt, maybe he had a chance
“I h@?? you for that, how could you do that to me, I thought we were friends” He laughed
” I’m sorry okay… but you..oh my goodness” She laughed so hard that the people there stopped what they were doing to look at them
Felix dragged her with him to another place while she kept laughing, she just couldn’t stop herself. She all is a sudden found the incident funny
“So-hee, I have something to tell you, please meet me at the beach tonight okay?” Felix said seriously and she nodded
” Anything for you meanie!” She laughed, “Even grasshoppers”
They both started laughing
•••
“I’m afraid to say ma’am, but you were right, Anna had something to do with Min-ji’s attack. She’s involved with a dangerous gang that does dirty jobs for her” This was all Eun-Hae’s head kept replaying, Klein’s exact words
She was driving but wasn’t concentrating, her daughter is involved in thuggery and gang activities. She had a hunch but she didn’t want to believe but now…
What did she ever do to get such punishment in return, and Anna, just because of a man resorted to attempting murder?
Eun-Hae was in distraught, lumps formed in her throat and when she couldn’t hold it back she bursted into tears as she drove
**
“Anna!!” Eun-Hae’s voice travelled round the house, with a hint of pain and anger
“Nari, get down here!” She yelled again, she was at Anna’s house. When she didn’t get any response, she climbed the stairs to Anna’s room only to hear groans and Mõ@?s coming from the room
She squeezed her face in disgust before opening the door, she gasped sharply, her knees becoming wobbly
She staggered. Anna was on the bed with two men hovering her while she was lost in pleasure
“Nari!!” Eun-Hae yelled and they stopped, Anna got up from the bed and scoffed
” What are you doing here!” She snapped while Eun-Hae glared at her, she signaled the men to leave
After they left, Eun-Hae walked out of the room too, the scent of segz was starting to suffocate her
“Mom didn’t I ask you stay away from me?” Anna ranted but a deafening slap crossed her face
“Why did I give birth to a child like you, Anna I’m ashamed of myself” Eun-Hae cried
” To save you the shame I asked you to stay away, why don’t you get that, get out!” Anna snapped, eyes looking bloodshot
” Nari..”
“Out!”
“Why do you want to ki|| Min-ji” Eun-Hae asked and Anna froze, she gulped and looked away, how did her mom know
Of course, she had Klein. A scoff left her lips, it’s good she knows at least she can share the guilt after Min-ji dies
“That’s none of your business” She answered
“So you want to ki|| her, what for? For a man you openly rejected? Gosh Anna, I h@?? the fact that you disgust me”
” I disgust you? I guess it’s hereditary. You’re disgusting for forcing yourself into another man’s life… so here I am doing the same thing, like mother like daughter” Anna cackled senselessly and Eun-Hae cried more
“You’re mad Nari. What have you done to yourself” She tried touching her but she resisted
” You did this to me, you and father, I h@?? you so much.. I can’t explain but I h@?? Min-ji more so if I can’t have what I want from her then I’ll ki|| her and maybe Ace too” Anna said, Eun-Hae gasped and made to slap her again but she was quick to push her away, and accidentally she slipped and fell down the stairs
Anna’s eyes widened in shock
“Mom!!”
••••
Yuri hugged Gavin when she came out of the house
“Hi” She beamed, he smiled cutely and pocketed his hands
“You look pretty” He said and she smiled tucking her short hair behind her ear.
“So where are we going, you owe me a lot of treats mind you” She smirked, Gavin smiled and nodded
” Sure… We’re going for a long drive, very long one…” He said and she nodded
” I’ve never gone on a long drive before, it’s gonna be fun” She squealed, he opened the car for her, she was about getting in when someone stopped her
She twirled and it turned out to be Moon, he didn’t look happy tho
“Don’t go with him” He said, eying Gavin who looked truly confused
“Why?” Yu-ri pouted but he was at loss of words, why didn’t he want her to go and what was his concern anyway
Was he going crazy!!
Now she’ll feel he likes her, his heart skipped a beat. He doesn’t like, her does he?
“Moon,” Yuri pointed behind him, he was taken aback when he saw Juni
“What are you doing here?” He asked not pleased which confused him, he was always happy when he saw her
“Bye guys…Gavin let’s go” Yuri forced out and Gavin smiled
“Hold on, let’s come along… I’m bored alone, what about you” Moon asked Juni and she shrugged
” Okay”
” Wait..” Gavin trailed as they were already in the car
“Hey is everything okay?” Juni whispered to Moon but he was too engrossed glaring at Gavin’s chair to hear
••
“That was awesome!!” Yuri breathed as Gavin brought the car to a screeching halt. Like he said, it was a long drive
Moon rolled his eyes,”what’s so Interesting about seeing places?”
“Stop being a party pooper.” Juni said grinning widely
“Right, so who wants icecream. Since we’re here?” Gavin asked and the girls nodded
Moon got out grumpily, he’s staying because Juni insisted. He’s been hurting since they were on the road, especially with the way Yuri was squealing at Gavin’s lame jokes
He can do better
They went to the icecream booth
Yuri had strawberry flavor, Juni and Gavin went for vanilla while Moon had chocolate
Moon sat quietly while the others talked about random fun things
As Yuri ate, little bit of icecream smeared on her lips which she didn’t notice
Gavin moved closer to her and used his thumb to wipe it off, slowly, looking admiringly at her face. Moon on the other hand was burning in jealousy, he even ignored Juni who was trying to make up a conversation with him
It looked to him like they would kiss soon
“Yuri!” He called dropping his icecream cup with a soft thud, Gavin moved away and Yuri faced him
“What?”
“Let’s go home, I’m feeling sick”
“You can go on your own, can’t you?” Gavin asked getting annoyed, he noticed moon always getting involved with him and Yuri and it was starting to piss him off
“I’ll go with you” Juni smiled
Moon looked longingly at Yuri then sighed before standing up
“Enjoy your date” He said walking out of the shop
” Hey…wait,” Yuri dropped her cup and waved at Gavin
” I’m sorry Gavin, thanks for today” She said quickly, running towards the door
Juni and Gavin were left to figure out what just happened, were they just ditched?
Outside, Yuri caught up with Moon and nudged at him
“I left my icecream in there, I’m not happy about that. Are you really sick?” She asked
” Yeah I am…and I want to go home. There’s plenty icecream at my place” He suggested and she smiled
” Perfect…let’s go, it’s kinda late… my mom must be waiting to yell at me already” She pouted cutely
He chuckled softly, feeling relieved. For a second, he almost lost his mind but he was okay now
•••
Min-ji breathed in relief when she left the airport, she was glad she survived another day. She’s been very cautious of her movement since she was attacked
She waved all thoughts aside and smiled biting her lip when she saw Ace outside, waiting for her
He’s been the sweetest person ever since she moved in. He pampers her a lot that she’s getting fat from it
She ran into his arms giggling, now she can relax
“Today felt like a year didn’t it?” Ace asked kissing her hair continuously
” True. I’m so exhausted and hungry… very hungry” She stressed and he smirked
“I’m all yours for dinner tonight” He said naughtily, she blushed and giggled
” Pervert, I’m hungry for real food”
“Eat me and you’ll be shocked at how satisfying I can be” He replied and she gasped
” Really?”
” Yes, I’m a very interesting dish” He said and heaped her in his arms while she threw her arms around his neck, grinning
“I love Interesting dishes”
“We’ll see”
She blushed and tightened her grip on his shirt
“Pervert!”
“Just for you” He smiled and she returned it
He carried her to his car, he sent someone to get her’s too.
As the car drove away, Jiwoon smirked from where he was sitting, he was dressed as a security guard,no one would suspect a thing
“Routes, passages, exits, and secret passages… check!” He smirked, “Tomorrow is yours Nari”
••••
< 7:38PM : JOGNO-GU BEACH >
So-hee sprinted to the beach looking for Felix. The waves of the water were calm and the environment was cool
“Felix!!” She called out, panting, tired from the short run
“Bunny, wow, you came” Felix came to her side smiling
“Why did you think I wouldn’t come, I was bored at home, Ella was busy doing something with her phone”
” And Rhett?” He asked and her heart leapt, butterflies erupted in her tummy just by hearing his name
“He’s not back yet” She said sadly, he’d been to speak with some people after the fair ended and wasn’t home
Felix held her hand as they walked barefooted on the soft sands of the beach
“You only came because he’s not around to stop you” He said coldly
” Not true. So what did you want to tell me?” She asked, now kicking the sands
“It’s about my…friend” He sighed
“Wait, your coward friend? So what happened between him and his friend, what did she say…are they together?” She asked and he stopped walking
He kept clenching and unclenching his fists, he didn’t want to get rejected.. But what if she likes him and not Rhett
He’ll only know if he tried but it was getting hard for him to speak
He just stared at her as she spoke with excitement, the moon light made her glow beautifully
“Felix!!” She punched his shoulder lightly and he jumped out of fright, he was lost in his head
“Uh.. he hasn’t told her yet” He replied
“Aww. He’s a big coward” She laughed
” He’s not a coward, he’s not…he’s afraid of getting rejected, don’t you get it?” He flared up, she blinked innocently
” Why are you getting worked up. I was just saying, isn’t it better he gets rejected than remain hopeful forever?”
” I don’t want to get rejected So-hee… please don’t reject me” He held her hand
“What are you saying?” She was confused, and lost
“That I love you so freaking much So-hee that it hurts… So bad, cos you’re always choosing him over me. I’ve trying to keep this to myself but I can’t…”
” Felix..” She called, completely stunned, was he being serious?
Felix loves her? Why? How?
“I’m serious So-hee, I don’t know how it happened, right now I don’t care… just stop hurting me
“I… I’d never hurt you” She stuttered
“Then please don’t reject me” He said hoarsely looking vulnerable that she if she didn’t like someone else she might’ve given in
Her eyes widened in realization, she likes someone else… Her heart skipped a beat when she thought of him. Rhett!
When did she start liking him, her heart only raced when he was around her, but she didn’t feel that way about Felix
Felix is just her very good friend that she feels she’ll lose after today
She looked at Felix with a guilty expression and shook her head while moving backwards
“I… I’m really sorry, I had no idea..”
Felix felt his heart breaking into a million pieces as she moved back
He walked towards her and grabbed her waist, while she gasped now sobbing
“You’re not a coward Felix, I’m just stupid for not noticing earlier… I’m sorry okay but..”
” So-hee..” he called in a whisper
” I…”
“What’s going on here?” Ella asked as she ran towards them, she was smiling with her brain misinterpreting the situation once again
“Aww… special romantic moment for couples” She cooed
“No.. it’s not..” So-hee started but before she could complete her statement, Felix slammed his lips on her’s
“So-hee?” Rhett’s weak voice called from afar
