I know you're as old as my brother.
"You don't have to feel bad...but thank you for checking on me Seong-min."
"You won't be able to use Your left shoulder for weeks now...of course I'm gonna feel bad Cyrus.
And I should be the one thanking you, you saved my life."
"I'm sorry but the truth is My goal wasn't to save you, I wanted to punch Flint so bad.
As for my injuries, I attacked Flint myself, it was also my own knife that stabbed me.
I'm curious, you were under no obligation to help, you could've ran away, Besides it was obvious that I ignored you at first when you begged me to untie you.
Yet, despite all of that, you stayed and even tried to help me...Why?" Cyrus asked, "I thought we were supposed to be enemies." he added.
Without looking at him, "I...don't see you as an enemy, you're my friend Cyrus...it's true you were being selfish at first, but still...you helped me in the end." Seong-min replied nervously.
Chuckling, "What's wrong? Why aren't you looking at me, I won't take you seriously if you're avoiding me." Cyrus joked.
Suddenly, Seong-min closed her eyes "Cyrus I think I have a crush on you!" she blurted out while blushing.
Cyrus's smile fainted, he was speechless for a moment and just stared at Seong-min with wide eyes.
"I know this is sudden, and it seems inappropriate to say...but from day one, you were very interesting to me, inside and outside.
I was happy when I first found out we're going to work together on this revenge, but then I got disappointed when it turned out that you were planning to push those bullies to suicide.
But despite my disappointment, I felt bad especially when you called me a 'bitch'...I usually don't consider that word an insult, I say it myself all the time, But when you said it to me, it hurt." Seong-min spoke-up.
She decided to finally look Cyrus in the eyes as she continued, "When I first met you, I was curious, I'm always excited to meet new people, so I didn't notice that my heart skips a beat whenever I'm around you.
And when we broke off our short alliance, we didn't meet for weeks, I felt some sort of emptiness, I think I missed you.
I know it's too early to know whether what I feel towards you is some type of romantic feelings, but I thought I should let you know what I think...you almost died, I'm afraid we're not even guaranteed the next minute, so I thought you should know, in case I acted weird or awkward around you from now on.
Also...you're hot, like totally."
"Seong-min..." Cyrus tried to break his silence.
But Seong-min cut him off almost immediately, "I know this is messed-up, I mean you're trying to get revenge for Julian, plus you have feelings for Ha-yoon.
And With the age gap between us, and the fact that we don't see eye to eye...even if my feelings were of true love, there's a great possiblity that you and I, will never be a thing." Seong-min said looking away from him again.
Slowly, "You're right, the chances are low...besides I'm not boyfriend material myself either.
And...Umm, I honestly never was attracted to you before, I don't think I can see you like that.
I thought you're like...interesting and fun, however I don't think of you...that way." Cyrus replied slowly, making Seong-min look back at him.
"I'm sorry for putting you in this stupid situation, you must be thinking I'm losing my mind right now." She Said.
Trying to light-up the mood, "I thought you're crazy from the moment you thought you can take down Flint on your own." Cyrus replied chuckling.
"I didn't expect him to be a murderer for real." she said.
"But I gotta admit, if you didn't do what you did Seong-min...There was a big chance Flint would've gone back to killing." Cyrus said.
"You sound like Joel now." Seong-min said, "Maybe I should become a cop like him, I studied law after all." he replied.
"Maybe...I wonder what I'll become, Ha-yoon says I sing like a robot." Seong-min said.
"Are you giving-up on becoming a singer already?" Cyrus asked, "I don't know if I'm cut out for it." Seong-min replied.
"Coming to think of it, I don't think I heard you sing before...I'm not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to hear your first song.
I should probably also get your autograph before you get famous and all that." Cyrus replied smiling.
Seong-min blushed at his words, "Also...I'm sorry for calling you a bitch Seong-min, I was angry that day, I say all kinds of stupid stuff when I'm angry...You're a better person then I'll ever be, and that made me angry." He added.
Smiling back, "So, Friends again?" Seong-min asked.
"Are you friendzoning yourself now? going down without a fight, I don't know you like that." Cyrus asked jokingly, "It's better than being enemies, right?" Seong-min replied.
"Right." Cyrus replied back, "Friends it is, I guess." he added.
Then, "You mentioned an age gap, I'm curious cuz I don't think you've ever told me how old you are." Cyrus Suddenly asked.
"I'm 18...I know you're as old as my brother." Seong-min replied still slightly blushing.
"You're barely legal girl and you already wanna date a man who's Almost 7 years older than you, damn!" Cyrus said chuckling.
"Almost? you're not 25 yet?" seong-min asked, "I say that I'm 25 now cuz my birthday is coming real soon."
"When it's your birthday Cyrus..."
"Why do you wanna know? are you gonna bring me a gift?"
"Maybe, You kinda sound like you hate your birthday." Seong-min said, "That's because I don't matter on my own birthday, also it's kind of impossible to feel special that day." Cyrus replied.
"Huh? why?" Seong-min curiously asked,"Ok...don't laugh, but my birthday...it's 4th of July." Cyrus replied.
"Eh?...sasil-ingayo?!( is it true?!)" Seong-min said in Disbelief.
"Yes, I'm not lying." Cyrus replied.
Suddenly, Seong-min frowned, "Did you just understand what I said in Korean?" She asked
"I know few words...I've lived with Ha-yoon, after all." Cyrus replied nervously.
"Ah! al-ass-eo! (Ah! okay) " Seong-min replied smiling.
"Speaking of Ha-yoon...why didn't she come to visit me?" Cyrus asked.
"Actually she did, but it was so early in the morning and you were still asleep." Seong-min replied.
...Meanwhile...
"Pretend it's just the two of you While you're talking with him, I'll listen in but don't tell him I'm here." Jin said as he sat next to Nikolai on the bed.
"Okay...prepare yourself to lose our bet." Nikolai replied chuckling as he called Andrea.
*Beeb*
Andrea: Pretty? you're calling me all on your own, is your vision getting better?
Nikolai: *Chuckling* No, I'm used to my phone, I can call you without help.
Andrea: Nice to know that, is everything okay? why did you call?
Nikolai: Something kept bothering me.
Andrea: I'm happy to think you've reached out to me about it, is Jin not by your side?
Nikolai: *Chuckling* No, I'm alone in my bedroom, Jin is on the phone outside, checking on his sister.
Andrea: I heard his sister was found unharmed, that's good to hear...Seong-min was it?
Nikolai: Yeah...Listen Andrea, yesterday when I said someone pushed me downstairs...
Andrea: It was Salvatore I Know.
-Hearing that, both Nikolai and Jin frowned.
Nikolai: so you figured it out?
Andrea: I confronted him, and Salvatore confessed to me!
He begged me for help...the thing is, what he did to you is jail worthy, and personally when he told what he did last night, I was going to call Joel and your mother but...
Nikolai: but what?
Andrea: Okay, I know you'll be upset about this...but Nikolai I did something, and I'm not sure you're going to love it.
- Nikolai tensed-up, he tried to look at Jin's direction with a worried look on his face.
Andrea: Are you still there Niko?
- "Keep going Niko!" Jin whispered encouragingly to him.
Nikolai: Yes! I'm here...I just don't know but when you said that, I thought you might've harmed Salvatore or something.
Andrea: Oh god no! do you take me for that kind of man Niko?!
Nikolai: Andrea...you're surrounded by Huge scary looking men that can only be found in mafias or some fictional online novel.
You wear suits all the time, Switch to Italian when you're mad and you can both shoot and fight...Anyone would think you're capable of murder when provoked.
Andrea: What Salvatore did to you is worth punishment...but I wouldn't go as far as killing him! I just sent him back to Italy forever this time.
I had him dropped in the airport this morning.
Nikolai: You sent him back to Italy?
Andrea: Yes! I was afraid that doing so would bother you...I thought you'd want Salvatore to be punished by the law, but I already spoke with a lawyer, Without a solid evidence...Salvatore can't be held accountable, and Sal said he wouldn't confess to the police.
So I figured I should take matters into my own hands...was that wrong? I was actually scared that your mother will finds out, she'll be the one to kill Salvatore.
Nikolai: Actually that's good! if you sent him to Italy, I wasn't going to sue him anyways.
Andrea: So you're not mad?
Nikolai: No! and you're right, without evidence, this sounds like a waste of everybody's time...besides, I don't hold a grudge against Sal, I know how he feels about you.
Andrea: Ahhh you're a real angel...I want to kiss you right now.
- Jin rolled his eyes, "You can kiss my ass, godfather." he whispered.
Nikolai: whatever happens, we'll keep this a secret between us...no one should know, especially my mom.
Andrea: My lips are sealed pretty, and thank you for being kind on Salvatore, I'll make sure he never bothers you again, he's not coming back anyways.
Nikolai: Won't you miss him...
Andrea: Miss the man who nearly killed you, and cost me my job? he's lucky I sent him away.
Nikolai: I guess you're right, I'm really relieved...I really thought Salvatore might end-up on today's news or something.
Andrea: I'm really sorry, if I never accepted him back, this wouldn't have happened...I guess Your mother was right, part of your incident is my fault.
I knew Salvatore was in love with me, I knew he hated you and that he's violent but I turned a blind eye because I was jealous of Jin.
Nikolai: It's okay, and don't worry about us...I said I won't abandon you Andrea.
Andrea: My pretty Angel...what would I ever do without you?
Nikolai: Thank you for everything Andrea, I'm gonna have to hang-up, I think Jin is coming back.
Andrea: Goodbye love.
Nikolai: Bye Andrea.
*Beeb*
Mimicking Andrea, "My pretty Angel! what would I ever do without you!" Jin said mockingly making Nikolai laugh.
"You goofy jelly man...see? there was nothing to worry about! just like I said, he sent him back to Italy." Nikolai said.
"Do you honestly believe him? where's the evidence?" Jin asked, "It doesn't matter because now I'm collecting my prize." Nikolai replied.
"What prize?"
"You just lost the bet Jin, now I want something from you!"
"I can tell you want something dirty Niko."
"If you don't want it..."
"I never said I don't...Niko."
"But Jin yesterday, you said..."
Blushing, "I know but you won, so ask whatever you want." Jin said.
"I can't see it, but you sound nervous...we're not gonna have sex, don't worry.
Unless we both want it, I won't force it on you." Nikolai replied chuckling.
"So what do you want?" Jin asked.
"How about you give me a massage instead." Nikolai Replied.
