CEO'S HIRE GIRLFRIEND
Chapter 9. Misunderstand

Since her return from Singapore, Eun Jo looks moody. The incident where he actually ended his relationship with Jong Hyun made him upset. He believes the decision he took was the best, but he does not know if his decision also made him suffer.

"Why are you, Eun Jo ?" Yeon Hee asked who came to the cafeteria, sitting in front of Eun Jo. Yeon Hee has never seen her best friend.

Eun Jo was silent for a moment, then she faced Yeon Hee with her lesbian look, "Hm, it's okay."

"You lied! From your face you look unhappy. What the hell's going on? When you were in Singapore, Mr Director did something about it ? or are you being diced ? or the... "

"Stop! Don't think weird, Yeon Hee. I said I was okay, just tired" Eun Jo said.

He could not always be open with his friend about all his complaints.

"Hm. Okay. This time I believe. But does fatigue make your eyes swell?" Yeon Hee approaches, looking at Eun Jo's terrible eye bags.

Eun Jo turned her face away. "I'm sleep-deprived."

"Are you having too much fun with Mr. Jung to forget to sleep?"

"Yeon Hee! Stop the. Don't keep asking me."

"Yes. yeah okay. Oh yeah, do you want to help me ?" Yeon Hee gives up interrogating her friend. Better to convey what he wants.

"What?"

"I want to surprise Sang Hoon. He's going to have a birthday."

"Don't you usually think about it? Why do you suddenly need my help ?"

Eun Jo knows very well if Sang Hoon's birthday, Yeon Hee is already excited first. Preparing everything in a planned manner and without the need for help from others.

"I want to work on it this time, hehe.. "

"What do I need to help you with?"

"I want you to pretend to pay attention to Sang Hoon, and then I'm angry that I think he's having an affair with you" Yeon Hee explained with a casual look.

"Huh!? Are you crazy, right ? What if he is angry ? Don't over-work it."

Eun Jo doesn't think about the plan Yeon Hee made. It's too risky. He doesn't want to be involved in this drama. He has too many jobs to play acting.

"I'm sure he won't be angry. I had to give him a humor test. He's too flat, you know ? so please, please... "

Yeon Hee welds up with aegyo cute flagship, which certainly makes Eun Jo can't bear to not help her sidekick. This time his life will be saved.

"All right, but I won't be responsible until you break up… "

"OKAY. Thanks, my bestie~"

Oranyo cafe, 8.30 Saturday 23 July 20..

"May I sit here?" Ask a girl with a tray of tuna sandwiches and a glass of orange juice to the man sitting at No. 9, asking permission to sit in front of her.

"Eh." Reply to the man without seeing who asked, he frowned at his cell phone.

"Are you too busy with your phone to say hello to your friends?" Ask the girl after putting her tray and sit down in front of the man.

"Oh, are you Eun Jo ?" the man in the white shirt was a little surprised, looking at the girl in front of him.

"Hmm yes. Am I bothering you? you're waiting for Yeon Hee?" Eun Jo asks after biting her sandwich.

The Hoon put his cell phone in his pants pocket. Staring at the girl in front of him. "No. I just want to relax here."

"Oh yeah, by the way when are you planning to propose to Yeon Hee, Sang Hoon ?"

"I haven't thought about it. Then what about you ? when did Jong Hyun propose to you ?"

"Oh that, actually I don't want to discuss this anyway, I've been breaking up with him for a long time. She's even engaged."

"really ?"

"Hm yes. You don't have to be surprised like that. Did Yeon Hee never tell you ?"

"No."

"Oh yeah Sang Hoon, where are you planning tonight ?" Eun Jo asks to start planning her mission.

"Maybe have a drink with a friend."

"You don't have any plans with Yeon Hee?"

"No, we don't have any appointments."

Eun Jo pretended to put on a look of disappointment, "Ah it's okay, I thought you could spend some time with your friend to celebrate your birthday."

"Where do you know I have a birthday ?"

"Hey we're old friends, of course I know, I never celebrate with you. But. If you're busy or maybe you want to celebrate a birthday with Yeon Hee. It's okay."

"I can cancel my schedule, I'll make time for us to be together."

"really? Thank you Sang Hoon !" Eun Jo feels good to hear it, not for her personal pleasure, but rather the pleasure of being able to carry out a mission. Unlike what Sang Hoon thought when he saw how happy Eun Jo could take him away together and it was just the two of them.

"Can I take you to Namsan Tower?" eun Jo Pinta. Place of execution.

"Hn. What a nice place."

"OKAY. I'll tell you the time."

Namsan Tower's. 19.30. July 23, 20…

"Well, I haven't been here in a long time, Sang Hoon. Everything looks so beautiful."

Eun Jo circled her gaze, looking at the star-like expanse reflected by the colorful street lights, houses and buildings.

"Yes so beautiful. It's like the world is trapped in the eye." Sang Hoon did not see what Eun Jo saw, he had seen enough of everything beautiful reflected in Eun Jo's eyes.

The unconscious Eun Jo was being noticed by Sang Hoon, only nodding. "Yes you're right."

"H wait, I shouldn't be celebrating your birthday. Yes although not the first to say, of course Yeon Hee first, but I want to say happy birthday, Sang Hoon !

I hope you always get what you want in happiness. And wait.it's a cake for you !"

Eun Jo took out a small box that she had been carrying since earlier which contained one brown smeared Cronut with 1 small candle on it. Eun Jo lights a candle with a match she has prepared nailed her coat.

"Blow candles! But before that make a request. Might be happy with the one you love, Sang Hoon."

Eun Jo held up the cake with her two hands, pointing 15 cm from Sang Hoon's lips.

"Of course."

Sang Hoon closed his eyes, hoping that what he asked for would come true.

'Fuh'

"Horay! Congratulations Sang Hoon ! And this is for you."

Not yet had he said thank you, Eun Jo first attacked him with a brown lumeran to his face.

"Haha, you got a !"

Eun Jo laughed off seeing the look of Sang Hoon who was always adored by women now must be covered with sweet chocolate.

"You have the courage, I will reply you !"

Namsan Tower's. 19.48. July 23, 20…

"Why did you bring me here, Ji Won ?" Tae Woo asked who had to be forced to accompany Ji Won for a walk, if not his father who told him to, of course he would prefer to stay at home.

"I just want to go with you. Isn't this place very romantic for dating lovers?" Ji Won struggled spoiled by leaning her head on Tae Woo's shoulder.

"I don't like crowds and how many times have I told you, don't touch me!" Tae Woo pulls his arm forcefully, making the girl shocked.

"You why the hell, Tae Woo ? why can't I touch you, while you and the girl share a touch."

"Hn?"

"That you took to Kak Yeo Woo's engagement. You don't seem to want to get away with it, but what if you're with me, you're afraid of getting skin allergies."

"Basic women, like to exaggerate. All right, where are you going ? I'm tired."

Tae Woo gave up on Ji Won's childish attitude, he better follow it before crying to be-so here.

"Eh."

Hopefully it doesn't cross his brain to push Ji Won down.

Cup

"Eggh, Sang Hoon, what are you you doing ?"

Eun Jo is shocked by what Sang Hoon is doing. She was just kissed by her best friend's lover. It's petaka.

Sang Hoon touched Eun Jo's chin. He moved closer to his face. He listened to what Eun Jo said, but instead of answering, Sang Hoon kissed Eun Jo again. "Em.. ah. stop... right, this is in public !"

Eun Jo pushes Sang Hoon's shoulder with all her might to put some distance between them.

"Huh... huh.. You pranking me?" Eun Jo asked in surprise, wiping her lips with the back of her hand.

"The Hoon ?"

Eun Jo calls Sang Hoon, but he looks down and only sounds softly said 'sorry'

"The Hoon !" Eun Jo yells at Sang Hoon who just left her alone. Nor did he understand what was really going on. Kiss her and just leave. 'I hope Yeon Hee doesn't know about this. It was fortunate that he had not come, ' his inner hope.

He turned back to pick up the bag he had placed on an empty bench. And almost swung back to see someone in front of him.

"Yeon Hee ! Are you here already? Since when? I really didn't mean to hurt you. Let me explain! So here's... "

"Yes I understand. You'll have to go to my house, Eun Jo. Now it looks like you need to solve your more important problems."

"What?"

"I'll go first."

Yeon Hee leaves, not to give her a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, but to give her a heart attack. It turns out there's Tae Woo and a girl in the back. Now it can be seen clearly the eyes of Tae Woo and Eun Jo meet each other.

"Sir Tae Woo ? You're here too ?"

Today was so unlucky for Eun Jo. Getting a surprise streak. He doesn't know what to look for Tae Woo's reasons.

"Curtain ! Turns out she's a cheap girl. We better just go, Tae Woo. Leave her!" Ji Won seemed happy with this incident. Trying provoking.

"You go, Ji Won."

"Why me ?"

"I told you to go!" tae Woo snapped which made Ji Won go away crying.

They looked at each other, no words came out. Tae Woo has to open up the conversation. "Khekhs! Didn't expect you to move so quickly to another heart."

"What do you mean?"

"You're supposed to abide by our agreement first, just thinking about finding a replacement."

"You misunderstood! That's not what I want."

"Then how do you want to ?" Tae Woo approached and stared intensely into Eun Jo's eyes.

"Don't come any closer! I don't want to complicate this. I know I'm wrong, I don't think about how if people who know we're dating see me with another guy. If that's what you mean."

"I don't care about the charade we're going to expose. It seems that this charade does not need to continue either, for you have opened your heart to others."

Implied tone of disappointment from the words of Tae Woo.

"I told you you misunderstood! He's not the one I love!" eun Jo shouted to see that Tae Woo had turned away from her.

Tae Woo stopped for a moment. But he continued his steps away without looking.

Yeon Hee's House. 10.00 PM. July 23, 20…

Eun Jo is already preparing for her best friend's anger. He knows the risks, but hey! It's not entirely his fault. Yeon Hee told him to do this charade. He had also warned her that she would not be held responsible if their relationship would fall apart. And he also didn't know if it would end up like this.

Eun Jo is now in the room. Sitting on a bed of blooming flowers, waiting for Yeon Hee to go to the kitchen. Wait ! Is Yeon Hee going to kill him ? maybe he had a knife and was preparing spices to cook it. Eun Jo's mind daydreamed beyond her limits, until her delusion faded after Yeon Hee walked in carrying a tray containing 2 cups of green tea and some cookies.

"It's true that Sang Hoon likes you."

Yeon Hee sits next to Eun Jo. Opened up the conversation about the incident.

"Huh? Don't conclude the no-no."

"I didn't conclude wrongly. Everything is proven!"

"Is it just because Sang Hoon is with me ? that's what you want or because she .. kissed me ?" Eun Jo asked carefully.

"That's one of them."

"Wrongly wrong ?"

"He's got your picture."

"Photo of farewell album ? our friends have them too, right ?"

"Not that, you idiot ! But he has your picture, I repeat 5 big POSTER pictures of you in his room!" Yeon Hee raises her 5 fingers to Eun Jo's face.

"What !? you didn't see wrong? That's your picture maybe ?"

"Am I blind enough to not be able to distinguish between your face and mine?"

"So right ? OMG! Why is everything so complicated ? then why did you guys last so long?" Eun Jo asked after sipping green tea to calm down.

"In order to be close to you at school without being discovered and she also can't have you because you already have a lover, right?"

yeon Hee answered, resting her shoulders on the edge of the bed.

Eun Jo nodded. "Diacal inserts. But you guys stay together, right ?"

"Actually we used to date just a status and I broke up with Sang Hoon 3 years ago. Now we're just friends."

"Why didn't you ever tell me ?"

"For what ? just adding to your mind, right ?"

"Hmm yeah, but if Sang Hoon is your soul mate, he'll definitely come back to you, make him forget about me, okay ?"

Eun Jo patted onto the two shoulders Yeon Hee gave her encouragement.

"Hmm, thanks. But one more thing is proven."

"What ? is there another ?"

"Hn. I saw that Young Master Jung was so jealous when I saw you kissed by Sang Hoon earlier."

"I beg you not to start again. I don't want to think of men."

"okay-okay. You stay here. While tomorrow's work holiday."

"Yes, okay."

Weeks. Home YEON HEE 8.05 AM. 24 July 20…

"Yeon Hee, do I have to go to Pak Tae Woo's apartment ?" Eun Jo asks who has changed clothes and dressed up.

"Yes. If you're going to apologize."

"But will he understand ?"

"He'll understand. I'm certain. Believe it."

"I'll try, then" replied Eun Jo, and she went to get her bag in Yeon Hee's room.

"Hey, aren't you having breakfast yet?"

"No, thanks. You know what ? You are my best friend." Eun Jo hugs Yeon Hee. To interpret a decapitation as a sign of affection.

"Yes. yeah, I know that. Okay Careful. Fight !"

"Yep, bye~"
