Irene soon calms down and makes her way over to me.As she takes a seat closer to me, I reach over and fix her hair which has been disturbed by excitement, tucking it neatly behind her ear.
"You got changed, really quick." I comment, "This must be a record time for you, where did my little sloth go? You are almost unrecognizable!"
"Hey! I just put on a bit of makeup" She says
"A bit, she says. " I tease her lightly
Hyori looking at the two of us, can"t help but sigh. Noticing this, I ask "Noona is something the matter?"
She chuckles and says, "If I knew I was walking into a lovers den. I definitely wouldn"t have come here"
Irene blushes, as I comment, "You weren"t invited in the first place."
"How long have you guys been dating?"
"About a year?"
"And you guys live together? Wow, Dylan, that"s some big b.a.l.l.s you got" She says with a playful sneer
"Technically she"s my neighbor" I internally think but just shrug it off
"Is your agency, okay with you guys dating?" Hyori questions
"Well they know, and they are okay with it" I answer, it"s not like I"m going to tell myself that I can"t date the love of my life. Seriously, I bought S.M and created my own agency just to make sure that the only people involved are the people in the relations.h.i.+p.
"Seriously?" Hyori seems a little surprised, "It"s been 10 years since my debut with Fin.Kl and my CEO still won"t let me date."
"Well I guess, we were just lucky to have an understanding boss. And since it"s still a while till Joohyun debuts, I think it won"t be a problem." I answer
"Are you also an actress trainee?" Hyori looks towards Irene for an answer
"No, unnie. I"m training to be an singer. I"m actually part of Idol-group training."
"Are you sure you don"t want to be an actress? With your visuals, you are definitely going to popular" Hyori comments
Irene blushes slightly before answering "I-I really like to sing... It"s my ... always been my dream"
"If you don"t mind me asking what agency are you with?" Hyori asks
"Don"t worry Noona! she"s in a big agency" I speak up
"How big?"
"S.M ... big"
Hyori"s eyes widen in surprise, "No wonder I thought you looked familiar, Joohyun-ssi. You really have that S.E.S, Eugene-like prettiness thing going on about you"
"Thank you" Irene bows as she answers
"It wasn"t a compliment," Hyori says quite straightforwardly
"Haha, Wow who thought the nation"s fairy and nation"s G.o.ddess"s rivalry would still persist to this day" I tease
"Never-mind about that miss goody-goody whose never done a bad thing in her entire existence" Hyori retorts before continuing to speak, " Anyway how did you kids meet?" She asks, extremely intrigued at my love life
"We met in Daegu at High school... In our senior year. Dylan was a weird transfer kid, who all the girls were crazy for. Yet for some inexplicable reason was ridiculously cheesy and pushy towards me. So to avoid any ha.s.sles, I just thought why not give the tall guy a chance. Long story short, I ended up in Seoul with this guy and can"t seem to throw him away yet" Irene finally gains the courage to insert herself into the conversation.
Grabbing her closely, I kiss her on her cheeks ever so slightly, "And you never will, babe. You are stuck on me like glue"
"If only, I was the only one. Sometimes, I wish you were a little less beautiful" Irene murmurs inaudibly.
"Did she just use the word beautiful to describe me? You are using the wrong adjective baechu"
"O-Ooooh High School sweethearts! Dylan, I was wondering how a teenager could write a love song like this. Turns out you wrote it for her" Hyori says a little sourly
Irene slightly shocked at the development, asks stutteringly. "D-Dylan... you wrote that song?"
I nod my head
"In this lifetime, I will be credited with copyright. So it"s not a lie"
"For me?" She asks further
I nod my head again.
"Still not a lie"
Irene"s face contorts cutely as if her brain is trying to compute the information.
Ignoring her mini-meltdown. I face Hyori, " So Noona, do you think the song is good enough for your alb.u.m?"
"Definitely! That"s why I rushed over!" Hyori screams as she grabs my hands in hers, putting on a pleading expression. Her sincere eyes and expression, makes me squirm a little as her dark hazel eyes stares straight into mine.
"Yes?"
"Dylan-ssi, will you .... make a song with with me?" Hyori asks
"That"s quite the proposal right there miss lee.... There"s only one answer I can give isn"t it?" I ask rhetorically .... "I do!"
"Great! Then let"s go" Hyori grabs me and starts pulling me from my seat
"Go? Where to?"
