Ji-ho said his goodbyes to the saddened ladies. After seeing the way Minhyun looked at Yoona, all of them had given up. Not only was the compet.i.tion beautiful but she had his heart. From the beginning, they had no chance to entice the young CEO. "Hey! You two! I"m coming!"
Yoona glanced up to see Ji-ho"s skinny, pale frame running towards them. He had a grand smile on his face, much happier than normal, and his eyes seemed to be focused on a certain area.
She looked down to see the recipient of his gaze. A forced smile appeared on her lips. That little pervert.
Noticing that Yoona"s attention was elsewhere, Minhyun lifted his head from her shoulder. He c.o.c.ked his head. "What"s the matter?"
"Just... A pest."
Minhyun turned around to see Ji-ho happily smiling. As a male, the meaning behind the boy"s mischievous smile was clear. He shook his head. "I understand. You want me to get rid of him?"
"Nah, just leave him be," she said with a smile. Teenage boys. She didn"t mind too much because she knew that Ji-ho was harmless. Besides, the young boy was trying to make memories through this trip. She didn"t want to leave him with anything negative.
Ji-ho whistled. He sent her a wink. "I really like the red. Very nice. I never knew you had these types of swimsuits."
"You want me to spin for you?" She asked. Every word coming out of her mouth was a joke, but it seemed as though Ji-ho was taking it literally. Minhyun glanced between the two with an unimpressed expression on his face. Was Yoona really going to play along?
She sure did. Once Ji-ho nodded, she twirled around with a seductive smile on her face.
Ji-ho clapped. "Amazing! Impressive! No girl on this beach can compare. I really have picked the right people to befriend didn"t I? I believe that fate has brought us together my lovely Yoona."
Minhyun stood between them. His eyes narrowing at the young boy. "Enough."
"Party p.o.o.per," Ji-ho replied while crossing his arms. "You sure you want to be with this dude Yoona?"
She let out a laugh, glancing at Minhyun. "I guess so."
After their conversation, the trio moved to the sundeck on Minhyun"s property. The wooden structure peered over the sand with a controllable roof to control the amount of sunlight one wanted to be in. The workers had specifically prepared three chairs, one for each. Yoona plopped herself onto one and laid down comfortably. This was the life. Relaxing. No stress. And no responsibilities-
"Let"s go swimming!"
Oh dear. She glanced over at Ji-ho who was sitting towards her. Both palms were pressed against the chair and there was an excited smile on his face like an eager puppy.
As Yoona got older, she found herself getting lazier when it came to physical activities. Swimming at the beach for example, which she enjoyed when she was in high school, became too tiring for her. Nonetheless, she couldn"t say no to Ji-ho"s smile. Also, knowing his condition, it wasn"t like she had the right to say no. He swapped millions of dollars to be with her. She had to make his whole trip worth the money.
She looked over at Minhyun. He was lying on the beach chair as well, minding his own business.
A smile crept up on her face. She grabbed his arm. "Come, join us!"
Knowing Minhyun"s personality, he would be similar to her in being lazy to go into the water. In fact, has the CEO ever played in the beach"s water before? She couldn"t imagine the scene based on his personality. Maybe it"s the wrong word, but he was too "uptight" for these types of events. In a way, Minhyun was similar to an old man, wanting to relax and work. Those were his two hobbies.
Though she had no right to judge though because Minhyun was making billions with this lifestyle.
She pulled his arm, bringing his body upwards. "Come on Mini. Let"s go have fun. This is, after all, Ji-ho"s repayment of his hard work. You have to do your part right?"
"I"d rather pay him," Minhyun said flatly.
Originally, he was going to relax while letting Yoona and Ji-ho frolic around, doing whatever they wanted on the sandy beach. As long as they were safe and no dangerous predators preyed upon them [cough cough other men] he was fine with spending his time here. However, he couldn"t resist Yoona"s pursing lips. The way she begged him to join almost clenched his heart.
He had no choice but to say yes.
Minhyun had never played in the waters with others before. What was he supposed to do? Swim? How did people have fun in liquid? The idea couldn"t wrap around his head.
With Ji-ho"s hand leading Yoona"s, and hers to Minhyun"s, they ran down to the blue waters. A series of splashes flew up in the air, attacking their faces.
The blazing sun made her skin warm, yet the bottom half of her body was freezing. Yoona squealed. "Oh my G.o.d it"s so cold."
"You"ll get used to it!" Ji-ho replied with a laugh. He threw some water her way, trying to make her get used to the temperature.
"Hey!" Using her hands, she scooped up more water and reciprocated his actions. There were splashes everywhere between the two.
Minhyun watched the two nutcases, taking a few steps back so he didn"t suffer the blow. Although he tried to not show it, he was definitely cold. Due to the hot function in his Jacuzzi and bathtub, he didn"t realize water could be this freezing.
Once Yoona"s eyes became clear of the water coming forth, she noticed Minhyun standing on the side watching them without a droplet in his hair.
She sent Ji-ho a look, signaling that they should attack the CEO. As the smart boy he was, Ji-ho automatically understood her facial motions and began to prepare for the attack. Both of them crouched down slightly before unleashing a wave to Minhyun"s body.
"What the f.u.c.k-"
As if he dunked himself down under, the water reached every inch of his skin. The water fell from his black locks. The bright sun glistened against his wet body, sparkles formulating on his muscles. It was a sight to behold. Minhyun used his hands to take the water off his face and glossed his hair back, revealing his forehead to its full glory.
"You guys are so dead."
The battle begun.
Due to Minhyun"s immense strength, he was able to overpower them by using both arms to lift up the water. Laughter filled the air as the other two tried to avoid the advances while attacking back.
Suddenly, Yoona felt a pair of muscular arms wrap around her body. His front touching her back. "Got you," he whispered in her ear.
She turned around, surprised to see him so close. "Wh"
He lifted her up from the waters, a smirk occupying his face, before dropping her into the water.
Curse him. Wasn"t he the one that didn"t want to get involved?!?
