I'm not hurting another good woman.
Leaning on Ha-yoon's car, "First of all, I don't buy it a second...that you're out of town, just by a coincidence, Joel.
I don't know why you thought stalking was a good idea?" Soo-Min spoke while staring at the two people she scolded, "And you Ha-yoon? did you think I was oblivious to how you stared at me? calling me Mommy behind my back, staring at my ass?!
Just because I act stupid, doesn't mean I'm actually stupid! Like Seriously...You two are So childish!
I Just made it here yesterday, and Seong-min already warned me about you two." Soo-Min spoke again.
In front of her Both Ha-yoon and Joel stood up with their head hanging low, eyes staring at their feet, because they were just too embarrassed to even look Soo-Min in the face.
Smirking, "The ground must be one hell of a view, since you're both staring at it instead of me...I thought you guys enjoyed gawking at me." Soo-Min said sarcastically.
"This is all your fault, What are we gonna do?!" Ha-yoon whispered to Joel, "Let's just apologize! I don't want to ruin my relationship with her!" He whispered back.
"You don't have a relationship with her you delusional prick! you just met Soo-Min for the first time yesterday!" Ha-yoon whispered again, "Screw you scissor-sister, I already planned my wedding to her, and adopted Seong-min in my head." Joel whispered back.
"EWW!" Ha-yoon replied.
"What's so disgusting? What are you two whispering to each other?" Soo-Min asked.
Speaking out Loud, "We just agreed You're right Soo-Min." Joel said.
"I admit I was following you girls around... I'm just a small town detective, no one would care if I wasn't by my desk.
However, I didn't follow you around to do anything bad I swear, I just...I felt nervous to approach you normally, because you're so my type Soo-Min.
But nevertheless, I'm sorry for my creepy behavior, I should be ashamed of it because I'm a cop, so it won't happen again! I promise.
And I'm also sorry for causing a scene with Ha-yoon earlier, I'm sure We're both sorry about that one.
Isn't that right, Ha-yoon?" Joel added while nudging Ha-yoon.
Surprised, "Huh? Yeah! totally! I'm sorry for acting creepy...and for staring at your butt Soo-Min...You're also my type...cuz you're like...perfect." Ha-yoon said swallowing.
Hearing that, Soo-Min burtsed laughing, "HAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU TWO ARE SO FUNNY!"
"It's disturbing that she's laughing right after we apologized...But Her laugh is cute though." Joel whispered, "You're way more horny than usual, get it together man!" Ha-yoon whispered back.
"Hmmm, you two do sound remorseful so...Apology accepted!" Soo-Min replied smiling.
"Really?! Thanks Noona!" Ha-yoon said feeling relieved.
"Thank you Soo-Min!" Joel said smiling as well.
"I must admit something...I didn't expect you two to be attracted to me, especially you Ha-yoon!...I thought you saw me as an older sister." Soo-Min replied sighing.
"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable Noona, I usually don't just hit on any pretty woman...like I said you're perfect in my eyes." Ha-yoon said.
Smiling, "You being a lesbian is the least of my concerns Ha-yoon, I'm not homophobic or anything...I just don't feel, as attractive as I used to when I was younger.
I'm surprised either of you want me." Soo-Min replied.
Shocked, "WEH?! GURL?! NAH-AH! YOU DIDN'T!" Ha-yoon gasped, "Soo-Min, Noona! did you see yourself in the mirror?! You're a walking menu." she added.
"Ha-yoon, That was one of the most random things I heard since I was born." Joel said to Ha-yoon, "But I agree somehow... Soo-Min, to give it straight to you, you're sexy like a..."
"MILF!" Ha-yoon finished Joel's words, "Yeah, yeah! whatever she said...And I want you to bury me between your thighs, whenever you can of course... wait I shouldn't have said the last thing!" Joel said blushing from embarrassment.
"And you called me calling her a menu, the weirdest thing you heard in your life?!" Ha-yoon said to Joel.
Soo-Min barely managed to contain her laughs, "Hah! You two...are killing me!" she said.
"The point is, maybe Joel only sees your physical body, but I know you on the inside Soo-Min." Ha-yoon said.
"Hey! don't call me out!" Joel said angrily, he turned to Soo-Min and smiled "I really want to get to know you personally, I'm sure you're an amazing person!" he added.
"Damn right she is! Soo-Min you're a good woman! you're kind, loving and strong, Seong-min is so lucky to have you as her mother.
That alone is attractive, plus you're like so freaking pretty...
And you're so talented and skillful! You can sing, You have a fun quirky persona and you cook some awesome food!
I follow your cooking show regularly, and I don't cook shit!... that's how much of a simp I am." Ha-yoon said making Soo-Min's cheeks turn deep red.
"Soo-Min, You have a cooking show?!" Joel asked, "It's on ViewTube you dimwit, search for it later." Ha-yoon replied.
"Ha-yoon...I never thought you were thinking about me, this way." Soo-Min spoke up.
"I'll be honest, I totally had a crush on you the very first time we met...when Seong-Min first got kidnapped." Ha-yoon replied nervously scratching her face.
"Maaaaaan, how am I gonna top that now? you clearly already got a thing going on between you two...I feel like I lost my chance" Joel said slightly annoyed making Soo-Min chuckle.
"No... I'm the one who doesn't stand a chance.
Soo-Min is straight, And even if she wasn't... it's true that I want something between her and me, but I'm not girlfriend material.
I'm not hurting another good woman.
And just so you know, I'm not hoping for anything to actually happen...You're like way out if my league Noona... I'm just fine with checking you out.
Plus, you deserve the best, I hope you'll find it someday." Ha-yoon replied smiling sadly.
Something in what Ha-yoon said made Soo-Min feel emotional, her eyes were hot and wet all of the sudden.
Before anyone could comment on that, Ha-yoon's Phone started ringing.
She was too fighting her own tears, "It's Seong-Min, she's calling me." Ha-yoon said while Clearing her throat.
"Talk to her, I need to go to the bathroom... I'll be back quickly." Soo-Min said before she walked away.
Feeling embarrassed again, "I think I should be leaving, sorry again for all the awkwardness I caused, ladies." Joel said.
"It's okay Joel, bye." Ha-yoon managed to reply before she picked up the phone.
*Beeb*
Ha-yoon: what does...*Clearing her throat* my angel from hell wants?
Seong-min: Noona I was wondering... hold on, you good? you kinda sound...off?
Ha-yoon: what? no! *voice crack* I'm fine!...really.
Seong-min: Ha-yoon, you sound like you're about to cry, did something happen?
Ha-yoon: it's nothing serious, I just stubbed my toe somewhere...*Sniffling* anyways you called me, why?
Seong-min: Are you sure you're okay? btw you still suck at lying.
Ha-yoon: Yeah, I'm okay and you're right, I didn't stub my toe, I actually have something in my eye, it burns and itches and I felt embarrassed to admit it's the reason I'm about to cry now.
Seong-min: Okaaaaay I'll trust you on that weird excuse...Anyways! here's the thing! it's about Jin and Nikolai.
...Some time later...
"I want you to tell all the girls except for Minnie, to leave the house and surround it from outside instead." Radka said to one of the bodyguards outside of Nikolai's house.
"Yes ma'am!" The girl replied before she sent a vocal message through her phone.
"You shouldn't have bothered coming with me before the party Radka, Nikolai called me this early so I'd start cooking with Jin And Miss Gyeon." Rushil said.
"I wanted to come with you so I can talk to Nikolai before the party happens." Radka replied.
Examining the short emerald-green dress his wife wore, "Listen Rad, I'm going to ring the bell but please...You're going to behave, promise me you're not here to start a fight with Nikolai." Rushil said as they both stood behind the front door.
Scoffing, "I'm offended dear! I was the one who stopped you from killing Jin when he first came to our house! if anyone needs to behave is you!
I'm telling you, don't bully him while the two of you cook together, I'll visit the kitchen frequently so I make sure you're not being mean to him." Radka said while fixing her dress.
"I don't have it against Jin that much anymore... he's proving himself to be a good person, and whom I'm worried that you might murder tonight, isn't Nikolai obviously.
I'm not sure why, but I have a feeling you want to stick a knife in Andrea's side!
You've been on edge ever since Nikolai decided to go against your wishes and continue being friends with Andrea." Rushil replied while watching Radka tug down on the dress from the back.
"Nikolai said he invited people that are close to him, the very thought that Andrea might be also invited tonight, does make my blood boil.
That boy is bad news...I never liked Andrea to begin with, but because he meant the world to Nikolai, I tolerated him." Radka explained fixing the dress one more time.
"Forget about Andrea! tell me, are you feeling uncomfortable in your dress? you insisted on wearing That dress even though it seemed unsuitable for you." Rushil said while examining the dress with his eye.
"Yes I am uncomfortable but...I want to wear this! the dress isn't that uncomfortable, I just haven't worn anything but work clothes or jeans in a while." Radka replied.
"Radka, I still don't understand Why do you want to wear this dress specifically? I admit you look gorgeous right now.
But I care mostly about you feeling comfy... that's why I chose a satin suit for you earlier, that would've been a better option."
"I chose the dress Because it's pretty, and you because bought it for me...Rushil."
Sighing, "Radka... we've been married since the age of dinosaurs, I can tell there's something going on." Rushil said.
"It's stupid and silly." Radka replied.
"Silly or not, I'm your husband and I want to know, why are you acting weird and nervous today?" Rushil asked.
Biting her lips, "Dear...
I insisted on dressing like this because I wanted to seem like a normal Mom...Our son asked us to come, he invited us as his parents.
I don't want to ruin a fun night for my son, and to be honest I am quite nervous, I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to act like Normal mothers do, all that comes into my head is work." Radka explained.
A chuckle escaped Rushil's lips, "I understand, it's normal to feel like this... You've been living in a different world than Nikolai, a world where being his mom was almost impossible." Rushil said.
"It's okay to panic, but try to your best to relax! You don't have to pretend to be something you're not, I'm sure there isn't many guests to begin with, so it should be fine." he added holding her hand and then rang the bell.
Few seconds in and Minnie unlocked the door, "Madame! hehe." Minnie said sniggering.
Going inside, "What's so funny?" Radka asked, "Nothing, you look really nice! I didn't expect you to be wearing a dress." Minnie replied.
"I see...anyways Minnie, I just told the guards to go outside the house, you and Jin are the only ones staying inside, and it'll be like this until the party is over." Radka explained.
"Nikolai would be happy to hear that." Minnie replied.
"Is Jin in the kitchen?" Rushil asked, "Yeah, and he ain't alone, he's actually with his sister's mother, She just came in minutes before you guys." Minnie replied.
"Thank you Minnie." Rushil said before heading the kitchen's way.
