CLUMSY INTERN - CHAPTER 50&51
❀❀❀❀
So-hee’s eyes widened to the size of a watermelon when his lips landed on her’s, for a moment, her body went limp.
Felix continued feasting on her lips like a meal he’s been patiently waiting to devour.
Ella was blushing stupidly as she watched them. She felt her work as a cupid paid off but everything came to an end when So-hee pushed Felix away with everything in her
She gave a shrill scream as she did, Ella had to palm her ears due to how loud it was
Rhett slowly moved to the scene, he glanced at So-hee who looked awestruck and disheveled. He actually came along with Ella though behind her since she was sprinting at intervals
So-hee palmed her face sobbing, he didn’t have to kiss her forcefully especially when it would cause distance between them, she didn’t want to lose her friend
“So-hee..” Felix called feeling guilty, it just occurred to him how stupid he was forcing himself on her
“What’s going on…why are you crying So-hee?” Ella asked confusedly, this was far from the reaction she expected
They both looked gloomy
“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to call you a coward, but.. I can’t like you back..” So-hee cried
Felix held her shoulder, staring pleadingly at her but she kept sobbing in her palms
“I’m sorry..”
“What!” Ella muttered
“Why? Because of him right? Rhett, you like him…why?” He shook her aggressively, Ella gasped
“She likes Rhett? What the f_ck!” She held her chest, creasing her brows in deep thoughts, she’d been giving Soo-min and Hana wrong updates the whole time
Gosh!
So-hee sobbed more as Felix coaxed her, Rhett had enough, he pushed Felix away filled with rage
“I’m sorry..” So-hee muttered before taking to her heels
“It’s all your fault…” A punch was thrown across Rhett’s face causing him to stagger, Ella blinked rushing to stop the brawl but it was far from ending
Rhett returned the punch twice and again, soon it became bloody with both of them cussing angrily
“Stop it..” She ranted, getting a fistful of sand, she yelled again
“Enough!!”
She threw the sand at them, aiming for their eyes
Rhett glare hard at Felix and huffed before leaving the place.
Stunned and confused, Ella tapped Felix’s shoulder lightly
“What on Earth is going on… So-hee likes Rhett?” She asked, he shrugged her off and stormed off in another direction
“Let me call Soo-min… This is bad” She muttered digging her pockets for her phone
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Sniffs and sobs could be heard from the hammock on the rooftop, So-hee wiped her face with the back of her palm but more balls of tears fell from her eyes
How did she not notice his advances, he kissed her in front of Rhett now what would he think of her…
And Felix, why does he even like her, he shouldn’t like her. She loves their friendship, it was a very peculiar one but now she feels like it’s over
She sniffed rocking the hammock back and forth, she stopped when footsteps were approaching the top
When she saw Rhett’s face, she gulped and jumped off the hammock, fiddling with her hands with her head downwards
Her nervousness at its peak
Rhett slowly came to stand in front of her, he cupped her face and smiled, confusing her. Her brows knotted forming a thin line, her lips pouted cutely
“I’m sorry… I didn’t kiss him…. He…” She started saying while blinking rapidly, he chuckled and covered her mouth, she raised a brow but the next thing he said shocked her to the bone
“Be mine So-hee… I love you So-hee, so f_cking much that I might go crazy” He said and removed his hands from her face
So-hee had a stupid grin tugging on her lips as she stared at him with huge eyes. Her hot boss just told her he loves her, so much for asking… She was his a long time back but he’s just asking?
She didn’t realize when she scoffed and Rhett stopped what he was saying and looked at her skeptically
“I really do… I swear..” He stuttered feeling worried, what if she rejects him too
His heartbeat was distorted and really fast
He was still gazing when she engulfed him in a bear hug, she buried her head onto his chest and tightened her grip
“You.. don’t ever make me jealous okay?” She said vaguely and he breathed in relief
“I’ll never… Ever again, I remember the last time, you almost led us to death” He said and she huffed breaking the hug
“Felix, you didn’t hit him right?”
“I did” He mumbled
“He’s my friend… maybe, I’m sure he h@??s me now” She fiddled with her fingers and he sighed pulling her back for a hug
He didn’t care about anything else but his gullible and naive girlfriend…
“Stop talking about him, talk about me instead, I’m your boyfriend… That’s a very special title” He smirked
“I never agreed to be your girlfriend” She snapped
He looked at her and smirked, “Really?”
She nodded
He leaned forward raising a brow, she blushed as he did. Her lips parted waiting for his lips but it never came so she opened her eyes
“He kissed you” He scoffed and kissed her forehead instead
“I’ll wash my mouth” She suggested quickly and he smiled
“Oh… My girlfriend is a naughty one” He teased and she rolled her eyes
“Don’t get too excited Yi-jun”
” Did I ever tell you how segzy that name sounds when it’s from you? I h@?? when others call it but not you… Miss clumsy, did you use voodoo on me by any chance?” He asked flirting and she laughed
“I love you nerd” He said sincerely back hugging her and she smiled with her lips pressed together
“Let’s go brush our teeth” She said, he chuckled and placed short kisses on her neck
“Let’s go” They held hands as they left for the ladder

< SAME NIGHT >> ACE’S MANSION : 8:30PM >
Exhausted and satisfied, Min-ji’s naked body fell on Ace’s, a groan left her lips as she did. They were both sweaty and sticky as a result of the hot s*x they had
That was the third time and Ace wouldn’t have it any better. His girlfriend was a total badass in bed, just when he thought he was in control, she took over and d@mn, she sure knows how to get a man riled up
She rolled and held him tightly, her breath heavy
“I love you” She muttered, sighing wearily
Ace held her closer, kissing her bare shoulders the her hair
“I love you too” He replied sincerely, looking down at her, goodness knows how much he loves the lady in his arms
They laid in comfortable silence listening to one another’s heartbeat.
“Eun-Hae is a good woman” Ace suddenly spoke, though carefully so as not to anger her but she didn’t react rashly, she just shrugged and clicked her tongue
“You won’t say anything?” He asked
“I don’t care” She said dryly rubbing his chest
He sighed and adjusted his head on the dashboard
“Why do you h@?? them so much?” He inquired, he really wanted to know, curiosity was getting the best of him
Min-ji heaved a long sigh, her eyes became teary instantly
“I saw my mom dead in her pool of blood on the highway. She died with a broken heart all because of them… The so called good woman and minister Lee ki||ed her” She gritted
“Okay… Just tell me everything, I’ll listen” He cooed and she nodded
“My mom didn’t like the spotlight, she only loved her family and her garden, she was always indoors… I doubt anyone knew my dad had a wife. It’s been twelve years, I was eleven then… One day while out in the garden, a mad lady barged into the mansion requesting to see minister Lee, she had Anna who was twelve with her, she called my mom all sorts of names thinking she was just a gardener, she then claimed to be my dad’s wife..” Min-ji paused and chuckled sadly
“My mom was a weakling, things could easily cloud her thoughts and that confession made her lose it… I was stunned too and seeing Anna who already started claiming ownership of everything made me scared… Minister Lee came home and met us outside. Mom’s happiness died when he didn’t deny knowing the lady, she couldn’t bear the pain so she ran out of the mansion unknowingly heading towards the highway, I followed her but I couldn’t get to her, till she was run over by a car” Min-ji sniffed and Ace gasped, cuddling her closer
“Min-ji…”
“You know what’s worse? Mom was his legal wife,. She, Eun-Hae was a mistake… Cheap mistake. The reason why Anna is older is cos mom had me late, they’d been married for three years before they had me… So a year earlier, minister Lee cheated on her. Three months after mom’s funeral, he got married to Eun-Hae” She scoffed and wiped her tears
“God I’m sorry Min-ji..” Ace apologized, rubbing her hair tenderly as she sobbed
“I don’t care if she’s a good woman, she ki||ed my mom that’s it!” She sniffed pouting
“Right.” Ace nodded, chuckling. He actually did a background check on every one close to her to find out who was suspicious but he’s not gotten anything yet
He sighs
“I’m hungry” She whined
“I told you, I’m an interesting dish love, eat me” Ace said naughtily and she gasped sitting up abruptly holding the duvet to her chest
“I’ve seen everything already” He shrugged, stifling back his laughter
“Hmph. I’m really hungry,” She pouted bashing her lashes together
“Okay, we’ll get something to eat once we’re washed up and maybe another round..”
She jumped out of the bed and ran towards the bathroom
“You want to ki|| me!!” She screamed and he fell back laughing
*.*.*.*.*.*.*
MORNING
Rhett’s eyes flew open lividly, he just had a dream, one of the best dreams that So-hee was in his arms
He blinked and closed his eyes not noticing the weight on him. So-hee stirred slightly, a groan escaped her lips, she snuggled him closer like a teddy. Her lips pouted and swollen a bit from the lip battle last night
She washed her mouth just to kiss him really and it was intense
Rhett opened his eyes and a smile broke on his lips, he wasn’t dreaming, she was really here
“She loves cuddling. Cute!” He smiled rubbing her hair. He knew she was far from waking up so he closed his eyes and drifted into sleep
••••
In the living room, Ella sat at the dining area going through her phone and munching on a toast when Felix came out
She stood up swiftly and smiled at him
“Editor Shin” She called and he smirked pathetically, he looked like he cried throughout the night, he didn’t but he couldn’t sleep cos he was thinking about what Rhett and So-hee might’ve been doing
“Back to the honorifics… What did you make?” He asked
“Tsk, I made toast for myself Felix” she stressed and he rolled his eyes
He raised a brow when he noticed it was only her before he came, his breath hitched and heart clenched at the thought, meaning So-hee and Rhett were still together
Felix frowned and moved away heading to the door
“Hey, where are you going… I’m bored alone” Ella whined
“You were alone before I came, I’m going out for a walk” He said and opened the door
“Be back soon, remember we made plans to drink and get drunk tonight” She reminded but he left already
Ella huffed and sat down
“Gosh! 3 more days left and everything has gone sour… I miss the fun days” She sighed and continued surfing her phone
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
< CITY HOSPITAL : WARD 305 >>
Eun-Hae laid weakly teary eyed, regretting that night stand few years ago. The night stand that she thought was a golden opportunity but it turned out to be a nightmare
She used to work in a brothel as a prostitute to make ends meet. One night, she was asked to take care of a wealthy man who turned out to be minister Lee, it was great cos she knew he was rich and wasn’t married
That’s what she thought…
She got pregnant and kept it despite him asking her repeatedly to get rid of it. She used the child to get everything she ever wished for and then got greedier… She wanted to be his wife so she brought Anna along to his home only to meet Ji-hyo his legal and first wife
Eun-Hae was petrified, she didn’t know he was married. Ruining someone’s marriage was the last thing she wanted but it happened anyway
Ji-hyo died and she witnessed it, she’s haunted every night because of that incident. Min-ji loathes her, minister Lee doesn’t even know if she exists and worse of all her daughter, h@??s her existence
She was in tears when Klein entered, he raised a brow but his expression still strict
“Ma’am!” He called and she wiped her face quickly
“Klein… Find Anna before she gets to Min-ji, she’s gone mad..she wants to ki|| her” Eun-Hae said hoarsely
Klein nodded and left while she bursted into tears
***
SAME HOSPITAL…
“How many days?” Lucy asked nervously and the cardiologist sighed sadly, adjusting his glasses
“Your case surprised me Lucy… Since you were born I’ve been your doctor. You’re a strong woman” He smiled, though it was a dry one
The lady in front of him was dying and there was nothing to do about it
“You made it to thirty…” He cleared his throat and continued, “Hold on for thirty more days”
Lucy gulped down nothing and blinked back the tears thr_@tening to fall, she smiled and stood up
“Thank you for everything doctor Chen. Gomawo (Thank you)” She bowed curtly and left hurriedly
Pressing her hand against her chest, she let her tears flow freely
Just a month?!

< JOGNO-GU >>
“I think they went out” So-hee looked around the house for Ella and Felix but found no one
Rhett came out of the kitchen holding plates of seafood, Noddles and red rice cakes. He dropped them on the center table and switched on the TV
“That’s good, we have the house to ourselves” He sat down and tapped the space beside him, she giggled and took off her glasses before sitting down
“You have beautiful eyes So-hee… Very beautiful just like you” He complimented and she flushed red trying to look away
“Thank you” She said shyly
Rhett smiled at her then wrapped an arm over her shoulder bringing her closer to himself
“All these look good, I can’t wait” She squealed and he smirked
“I’m sure you’ll love it cos I’m the best cook you’ll ever find” He bragged
“Hmm” She hummed teasingly and picked her chopsticks dipping it into the noodles
Rhett watched her keenly, she made a sour face and stood up running to her room
Rhett’s face fell
“What, how was it?”
“Bad!!” She yelled
He gasped and tasted it too but it was perfect
“Seriously!!” He chuckled
“I’m the best anyway” She laughed from the room
••••
< AIRPORT : 3:37PM >>
Min-ji escorted Isla to the departure terminal. Isla was dressed in her flight attendant uniform, she had a travel bag with her too
“From Busan to..”
“Taiwan!” Isla answered and Min-ji sighed
“Take care babes, when you girls get back, we’ll hang out okay?” She hugged her
” Sure. Bye” Isla waved as she left
Min-ji stood there for a while, smiling and nodding at people and staff
She thought of So-hee and smiled, she’d be back in three days. She missed her so much and had a lot to tell her
She chuckled softly and a blush crept it’s way to her face as she recalled the previous night with Ace. The love making part especially.
She stomped about gleefully gaining people’s attention
“Sorry!” She grinned and ran to washroom since it was near
After washing her face and hands, she fixed her dress and flashed a smile before walking out but out of nowhere, a piece of clothing covered her nose
Inhaling the sedative, she passed out immediately
