It's good to have a close friend, who is always there, who is always supportive, and always look after each other. It's not so sweet a friendship. However, what if having such a cold friend like Seok Gwan, Hyun-ri's best friend. Can you say sweet? If his best friend is cold-faced and flat like. The answer is sweet, even sweet. Otherwise, it is impossible that Hyun-ri and Seok Gwan's friendship still goes on until they grow up and have been able to dream up their family company. I don't know, sweet as how Hyun-ri felt when she was friends with Seok Gwan until now.
1 hour had passed, and now the luxury car that Seok Gwan was driving had entered the area of his mansion. Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri's mansion are not much different. Equally luxurious and also equally have artificial forests as well. But, the artificial forest in Seok Gwan's mansion is much wider than the artificial forest in Hyun-ri's mansion. Because, Seok Gwan mansion is on the outskirts of the City. Even much more beautiful and a little far from the neighborhood around the suburbs.
"Well, when I wasn't here for 1 month. But look oppa, your home gardener takes great care of your mansion's work." Hyun-ri said in awe because of the beauty of the Seok Gwan Mansion area.
"Of course, I paid them dearly. So they have to work well. Come down." Seok Gwan answered and got out of the car.
"Yes, you are so rich oppa, that you can afford to pay your workers dearly." said Hyun-ri when he got out of the car and walked along with Seok Gwan.
"You're rich too, if you forget" Seok Gwan said.
"No.. I'm not rich yet.the maids and workers at the Appa mansion pay them. Not me oppa." Hyun-ri.
"As far as you go, young lady Han." Seok Gwan jengahut.
Yeah, that's how Hyun-ri is. Always living up to his simplicity, as if forgetting he's the son of a rich man, an heir and CEO at Han Group. The company he leads.
"Sit down, I'll go upstairs to take my clothes off." Said Seok Gwan, and immediately walked away leaving Hyun-ri in the living room of his mansion.
"Basic walking ice." Hyun-ri said with her lips and sat herself on the sofa.
"Young Miss Han, are you coming?" Said the wrong maid approaching Hyun-ri.
"Yes, just arrived." Answer Hyun-ri's friendly.
"Want me to make you a drink, young lady?"
"Hmm, as usual. Chocolate milkshake." Hyun-ri replies with a twinkle of happy eyes.
"I'll make you young lady, excuse me to go to the kitchen first." Pamit politely.
"Yes please."

"Where are you?" seok Gwan said to someone on the phone.
"You healthy? You're asking me where this is?" tell someone on the phone with a decihan.
"Of course I'm in the office. Where else." continues.
"Later to lunch, let's eat together"
"Later noon? Have you returned from Paris? When did you arrive?"
"So morning. I'll send you where we're having lunch, take her too. Hyun-ri and Gun-yo will also be coming." Seok Gwan replied with a smile. Even if the person on the phone cannot see it.
"Gun-yo huh? Whoa... Like it's gonna be exciting.. Well, tell me where the place is. And I'll take her, too." said someone on the phone.
*_*
After hearing an answer from someone he was in contact with, Seok Gwan turned off his call unilaterally without saying anything. Seok Gwan is a cold guy. Putting his phone on the nightstand near him stood at the Balcony door and walked into the bathroom to wash himself and change his clothes.
******
"Why has he been in his room so long. I'm tired of waiting for him." Hyun-ri said with a rude snort.
It's been almost an hour Hyun-ri waited for Seok Gwan to get off the top floor of his room. In fact, the milkshake made by the maid was not left. And Seok Gwan, still calm in his room.
"Is he asleep? Waahhs.. It's too much of him if he brings me here and he ends up sleeping in his room." Hyun-ri said annoyedly.
"I'll roll him out of his comfortable bed. How dare to prank me and ignore me like this." Hyun-ri said back.
Hyun-ri gets up from her seat and walks by stomping her irritated legs towards the stairs to climb up to the top floor where Seok Gwan's room is. Hyun-ri is determined, she will teach Seok Gwan a lesson for leaving him just like that downstairs in the middle room of his mansion.
Chequek..
Without knocking on the door or anything, Hyun-ri opens the door to Seok Gwan's room. Don't ask, how did Hyun-ri know Seok Gwan's room. Because Hyun-ri does know and memorize every room in Seok Gwan's mansion. And, how astonished Hyun-ri was after opening the door of Seok Gwan's room.
"aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh..."
Blaammmm....
After shouting loudly Hyun-ri immediately closed the door of Seok Gwan's room loudly. With a reddened face like a boiled crab, Hyun-ri immediately runs down the stairs. He went straight to the kitchen, picked up an empty glass and opened the fridge in search of water.
"Young Miss Han, what's wrong with you? You okay?" ask the maid who was in the kitchen when she saw Hyun-ri drinking water hastily and immediately spent her in one gulp.
"You're so naughty, Hyun-ri-a..."
Uhuk...
Hyun-ri coughed chokingly, not because of the water she had just spent in one gulp earlier. Unless he's choking on his own saliva. He was a little surprised because of Seok Gwan's sudden remark. In fact, Hyun-ri can now feel that her cheeks are hot. Hyun-ri can be sure, her cheeks must be very red blushing right now.
"I-i.. I'm not naughty.." Hyun-ri replies nervously and remains turned to Seok Gwan who is standing in the kitchen doorway.
"Basar is still a boy. Why are you turning your back on me? Comeoverhere. You want to be in the kitchen anyway?" Said Seok Gwan with a sigh.
"Wait for me in the living room. L'm.. I still want to drink first."
"It's up to you." replied Seok Gwan and walked away leaving the kitchen area.
Hufft...
Helaan breathed a sigh of relief Hyun-ri exhaled. He'll stay in the kitchen until his cheeks don't blush anymore. Really, Hyun-ri's chest even thumped tight after she forcefully opened Seok Gwan's room door.
"Haishis... You're too presumptuous Hyun-ri-a." said Lirih Hyun-ri while holding her chest.
"Young Miss Han, are you all right?" ask the maid who was still in the kitchen and see the interaction between Hyun-ri and Seok Gwan while in the kitchen.
"aahh yes.. I'm doing fine.. Can you leave me alone, here?" hyun-ri replies by setting her breath to stay calm.
"Well Miss, if you need anything. Miss can call me."
"hmm sure."
Maid left Hyun-ri in the kitchen alone. Hyun-ri again fills the glass before her with water again. He drank the water slowly and neutralized his heartbeat. Moments later, her heartbeat gradually returned to normal and the red hue on her cheeks had returned with the white skin color that Hyun-ri had.
With a slow step and adjusting his breathing, Hyun-ri walks out of the kitchen and heads to the living room. In the living room was Seok Gwan sitting in the middle of a long sofa with a tablet in his hand. Seok Gwan is so focused on his tablet that he is unaware of Hyun-ri's arrival. Hyun-ri slowly sits at the end of the same sofa as Seok Gwan.
"You're spending water in my kitchen? Why have you been in the kitchen so long?" seok Gwan said as he noticed Hyun-ri's movements while sitting at the end of the sofa.
"And... Why are you sitting so far away? Not usually?" seok Gwan asked with a few eyebrows.
"I don't want to bother you oppa. Looks like you're at work, so you're so focused on your tab." Hyun-ri replied calmly.
"Is that so? Isn't it because you saw me naked impromptu? Wh..."
"Stop talking oppa. Stop the. You're infuriating. It sucks." cut Hyun-ri in an annoyed tone and cheeks blushed back.
"You're a bitch. I'm going back to the office." Hyun-ri said and immediately stood up.
Grep..
"Where are you going? We'll have lunch together so you'll go with me, Hyun-ri-a." asked Seok Gwan by holding Hyun-ri's wrist to keep her from leaving the mansion.
"Then stop taunting me oppa. I accidentally opened your bedroom door without knocking. I thought you were asleep, ja..."
"I understand, that's it. You're a lot of talk." cut Seok Gwan up and pull Hyun-ri back down right next to him.
Hyun-ri simply complies and sits sweetly beside Seok Gwan, who begins to focus back on his tab. Seok Gwan is indeed a workaholic man, he does not care even though he is in his mansion or anywhere else. He will still take care of his work, even if he is not in his office. And Hyun-ri is used to seeing that sight.
"Oppa.. Can you just let me go alone with Gun-yo Oppa?" Hyun-ri said slowly and carefully. As if asking permission from her parents.
"No." A short answer Seok Gwan.
"We can go eat together next time, oppa.hum.. I beg you, this time let me go alone with Gun-yo oppa.huh.I beg you.." said Hyun-ri's reply and put on his cute face to persuade his best friend.
Seok Gwan, who had focused on the tab in his hand, immediately turned his head to face Hyun-ri with a forced smile.
"NO." Seok Gwan replied with great emphasis. Indicates he doesn't want to be rebutted again.
Hyun-ri also grunts in annoyance. Hyun-ri guessed, if Seok Gwan's answer still wasn't. Even though he seduced her. The forced smile that Seok Gwan showed, had become a sign that he did not want to be denied and did not want to talk about it again.
"Then, what are you taking me to the mansion for, oppa?" ask Hyun-ri pushyly.
"Friends with me."
"You're kidding oppa? Gee.. You really pissed me off oppa."
"I haven't seen you in a month. What's wrong with me asking my best friend?"
"As far as you're concerned." Hyun-ri replied with a breathless face and leaned back against the sofa with a shortened chest.
******
Tok.dok..
"Get in.." said someone whose door was knocked on.
Chequek..
"You still haven't finished your work?" ask someone who just entered the room.
"You came here?"
"Yes, we'd better go together. Has Seok Gwan sent the address of the restaurant?"
"Yet. Maybe in a minute."
"I didn't expect, Hyun-ri we're still in touch with Gun-yo.. Gun-yo that."
"Yes, so am I. But no wonder, didn't Hyun-ri ever tell us that he likes Gun-yo."
"Ahh you're right. But, we can't let that son of a bitch Gun-yo to stay close to, Hyun-ri right."
"Yes.. That's why we made Gun-yo. Stay away from Hyun-ri from today." replied the owner of the room.
"Of course."
******
The clock has shown at 12 noon, it has entered the clock for lunch. Hyun-ri and Seok Gwan are on their way to the restaurant where Hyun-ri and Gun-yo meet and have lunch together.
"Did you tell Gun-yo that I'm coming with you too?" seok Gwan asked to start the conversation when only silence occurred in his car.
"No. I haven't told him. Later, while at the restaurant." Hyun-ri answered listlessly.
"Yuna-ri-a.."
"Hmmm"
"You still like Gun-yo?"
*****
Restaurant Lily...
In a VVIP room, a handsome man was sitting in the back of a menu book. He's Gun-yo, Lee Gun-yo. A handsome, tall man and a young businessman. He is the man Hyun-ri has liked since college. Yes, Gun-Yo and Hyun-ri are in the same faculty but different semester levels. Hyun-ri gets to know Gun-yo while attending a college student and sorority. From there they came close and became friends. And Hyun-ri secretly likes Gun-yo even though Gun-yo is a cold guy but Gun-yo is very considerate with Hyun-ri and always does sweet things to Hyun-ri. From there the seeds he likes for Gun-yo began to grow perhaps even until now. Might as well...
Chequek..
The door sounds open. Gun-yo turns his attention towards the door, and sees the figure of the beautiful woman he was waiting for. With a thin smile Gun-yo stands up from his seat to welcome Hyun-ri.
"Have you come?" He said as he walked closer to Hyun-ri. After just three steps, she stops her steps when she sees a figure walking in from behind Hyun-ri's back.
"How's Gun-yo-ssi doing? It's been a long time since we've seen each other." said Seok Gwan, who had just caught up with Hyun-ri, entering the room.
"Why is he here? You're taking her, Hyun-ri-a?" gun-yo asks Hyun-ri and ignores Seok Gwan.
"Sorry, oppa. Seok Gwan oppa forced to come along. And you're ta.."
"Did I interfere with your plans, Gun-yo-ssi?" Seok Gwan asks Gun-yo and sidelines Seok Gwan when Hyun-ri wants to explain
"Oppas. Why are you interrupting my words?" hyun-ri said with a little annoyance.
"I still ask Hyun-ri. Bus.."
"Are we late? Sorry if we came a little late." The sudden speech of someone cuts off Gun-yo's speech upon entering the room.
"Oppa.appa.. You guys?" Hyun-ri said with her astonished face as she looked at the two people who had suddenly entered.
"Why did you come here too?" gun-yo asked furiously. Seok Gwan and the two people who suddenly came have ruined his show for lunch together with Hyun-ri.
"Certainly join for lunch." Said one of the people who came suddenly.
"I didn't invite you. I just invited Hyun-ri to lunch together." Gun-yo replied in a cold tone.
"Can we stop this discussion? I'm already hungry. And you're Gun-yo, if you don't want us to join here. Then we'll go." Seok Gwan is cold.
"Together with Hyun-ri as well." continued Seok Gwan as Gun-yo answered his words.
"Oppa, why are you guys like this? Gun-yo oppa, I'm really sorry. Ak.."
"That's it." cut Gun-yo down before Hyun-ri continues her words.
