51 Being bea (1/2)

Min-Joon and I walked over to Ae-Ra and his grandmother.

”You are quite the dancer” his grandmother said to me. I bowed and thanked her.

”Though she did miss a few steps” Ae-Ra said ”You're lucky that Min-Joon was there. If he wasn't you would have made a total fool of yourself” she said with a smile. I want to give this girl the benefit of the doubt but if she keeps being a pain in my neck. I might just hit her.

”Yes, the Vice President is an excellent dancer, far better than myself” I agreed with her ”You must be very proud of him Madame” I smiled at his grandmother ”He is smart, responsible, a good cook and very popular with the ladies. You raised him well.” I told her.

His grandmother was surprised by my statement, a hint of a smile formed on her face ”Well…yes, of course”

Ae-Ra seemed bothered by the Madame's expression.After all, she was talking and even smiled to a secretary when she is usually cold and aloof towards everyone.

”The guests have told me that you've made quite an impression on them” Min-Joon's grandmother told me.

”I just want them all to see me as a competent secretary, fit to work for the Vice President”

Min-Joon's grandmother grins and walks away without a goodbye.

Min-Joon looks at me and whispers in my ear ”I think my grandmother likes you”

I look at him surprised ”Really?” I ask. He nods. I was surprised because I could have sworn she wasn't happy with how close I looked with Min-Joon.

”Excuse me” Ae-Ra said. I almost forgot she was still here. She reached out her hand towards Min-Joon ”Would you dance with me?”

”Um…” Min-Joon looked down at me. Although I didn't want him to dance with her, I didn't see what wrongs she could do in the middle of the dance floor. If she talks bad about Yu-Na or me, causing a misunderstanding, I'll make sure to clear all doubts.

I smile at him.

Min-Joon grabs Ae-Ra's hand and they both walk towards the dance floor. As I looked at them dancing. The two of them looked like the perfect couple. Which made my heart ache…wait…did I just say heart ache? Why would my heart ache because of this? I know he has no interest in her.

I decide to go to the bathroom and fix my make-up. Once I finish, I decide to use the toilet.

Suddenly I hear the doors open and see various shoes, pointing at me, from under the door. My heart stops for a second. This is the part in a drama where the female lead gets beat up by girls that like the male lead.

”Hey, get out here!” one of the girls yells and knocks on the door. My heart stops for a second.

”I'm using the toilet. Can you wait a second?” I ask. There is murmur between them and the girl that called me out apologized.

”Um…sure, go ahead” she says.

”Can I have some privacy? It feels kind of awkward all of you leaning on the door listening to me pee” I say. There is more murmur between them.
