....

Soon, they were joined by Jina's team at the precinct. Even the eccentric Kyuhyun was dragged by Jaebum to enjoy the mini party. 

"When did our house become a party center?" Yoonmin grumbled. Jina's team was a talkative lot. They were very enthusiastic and the girls were chatting away while helping Jina. Jaebum and Dahoon were talking to Junho who was bestowing them his knowledge on how to flirt with girls.

"It's fun!" Minyoon exclaimed. "Look, even the silent types are bonding!"

He pointed at Kyuhyun who was sitting next to Miyoo, both of them silently sipping sodas. 

Yoonmin rolled his eyes and took out a book to read but Minyoon snatched it away and hit him on the head with it.

"Ow!" Yoonmin yelped. "What's the big idea?"

"Go and ask your girl out!" his twin hissed.

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Because someone already asked her out!"

Yoonmin looked away, not wanting to replay that awful memory of Duho asking Soobin out for the summer festival. He did not hear her reply because someone called him at that moment but Duho seemed very happy later on.

"Ugh!" Minyoon exclaimed. "You're hopeless! Will you just let some other guy take her on a date? Are you even a Hwang at this point? Remember our family motto! We get our money and our honey!"

Yoonmin gave him a deathly glare. "If you'd only stop hanging around her, I might get a chance," he gritted.

"Yes, you'll get a chance to be invited to her future wedding with another guy!" Minyoon snapped. "Listen, this is your chance. Go and talk to her! And don't you dare talk to her about money!"

"What do I ask?"

"Ask her about how her day went. Or how she's doing at her new home!"

He pushed Yoonmin towards Soobin who was paying down plates on a table at the patio outside. Yoonmin hesitated a little but drew a sharp breath before approaching her.

Since there were a lot of people, they decided to place a table on the patio and have an impromptu outdoor dinner. Jina had managed to cook an entire feast for everyone. The smell of her delicious cooking was enticing the others, especially her teammates who were excited to taste their boss' food. Everyone was busy chattering and socializing. Yoonmin glanced at Minyoon who flashed him a thumbs up.

"Let me help you with that," Yoonmin offered, taking some of the cups from Soobin's hands. She was surprised by his generosity but nodded. Yoonmin fidgeted a little, wondering how to start the conversation.

"So, err...the weather is nice today," he remarked. 

"I guess it is," she replied, focusing on the chore in hand. She expertly placed the plates and made origamis out of napkins to add a nice touch to the dinner table.

"You can make origami?" Yoonmin asked, feeling curious about her.

"We learned to make these at the restaurant," she said, wrapping more tissues to create a swan, placing it on another plate. 

"Are you still working at the restaurant?"

"Yes. I need the extra money for all my expenses. I don't wanna burden Doctor Kang too much. He already did a lot for me."

She was surprisingly candid that day. Yoonmin could not believe it. He was actually having a conversation with her without ending in a disaster. 

"Isn't it too tiring?" he asked. "Studying then going for long hours of part time work. You'll be burnt out."

"I'm used to it. Besides, if you can run an entire agency and Minmin can carry out hectic idol schedules, then what I do is nothing much!"

She hummed to herself as she placed the last swan on the table. "Done!" she declared with pride.

"It looks nice," Yoonmin nodded, impressed. She managed to decorate the dinner table with crystal china plates and glasses. Red and white cloth were laid on the table and she had also sprayed a hint of lemon air purifier. 

She smiled at him and was about to leave when he stopped her by grabbing her arm.

"What is it?" she frowned.

"T-The summer f-festival," he stammered. Soobin waited for him to speak, confused by what he wanted to ask.

"I-I…"

Suddenly, her phone rang up. Soobin took it out to check the caller ID and in the process, Yoonmn caught a glance at the name on screen. 

It was Duho.

"Just a minute," Soobin said, excusing herself and ran towards an empty room across the hall. Yoonmin stared at her retreating back, feeling disheartened. From a distance, Hobin noticed his disappointed expression and immediately deduced that his sadness was related to Soobin.

Kids, he sighed inwardly, shaking his head.

A cheerful laughter distracted him and he turned around to find Jina and Siwan joking around.

"And then the silly guy actually thought his wife was going to forgive him!" Jina laughed. "After the torment she was put through! I'm glad she sued him and is gonna drag him to jail."

"You really did a number on that bloke!" Siwan snickered. He was watching her smile freely. She gently slapped his arm, still laughing. 

"So, tell me! Did you manage to get any girlfriend in all these years?"

"I'm just too busy," Siwan replied. "I tried dating a few but those relationships didn't last. I can't be as carefree as my brother."

Jina's smile faltered a little. "Does he date around a lot?" she asked in a seemingly casual tone.

"He dated a few girls but those were more casual ones," Siwan nodded. "I don't think he was ever into dating but he flirts around. Which is why I'm a little surprised."

"Why?"

"He usually flirts around with other girls whenever he's at a party. I don't get why he didn't bring a date tonight."

Jina's eyes flickered towards Hobin who was now talking to Woohee. He was smiling at her a little too flirtatiously, making Woohee giggle. For some reason, Jina's nostrils flared upon seeing the sight but she did not say anything. Why should she care about who slept around with?

"Jina?"

"Huh?" Startled, she turned her attention back to Siwan, smiling at him but she kept on glancing at Hobin every few seconds. He seemed oblivious to her glances, talking and snacking with the other girls.

Idiot, she thought, feeling a little sad.

Meanwhile in the spare bedroom, Soobin was shaking. Her fingers trembled as she answered the call.

"H-Hello?" she whispered.

"Where are you, my dear?" Duho's voice came from the other end. Soobin gulped in fear, unsure of what to reply.

"What's your answer, Soobin? Will you go out with me?"

"I already refused you!" she exclaimed tearfully. "Why are you pestering me?"

A cold laughter resonated in her ears and she was scared. Very scared. Why was he doing this?

"I won't take no for an answer, Soobin," he warned. "I'll make sure that you'll say yes. Whether you want to or not."

With that, he hung up the phone. Soobin's blood went cold and she was shivering. She did not want to bother anyone with this issue but she was afraid of this boy who was not letting her go.

I'll have to deal with this myself, she decided.
