From Past To Present, I Still Love You

“Did you offer to let me live at your house for my safety or because you had other intentions?” Minhyun stared at her with a playful smile on his face. “If I were to be honest, I would say both.” “It’s like... Wait... What?! I was joking! What other intentions are you talking about?!?” Yoona widened her eyes in the midst of her sentence. Did she just hear what he said?

I Quit!

Minhyun fixed his collar.

"I understand your point of view. How about we take this outside? I do feel like there is a lot to explain and I would love to buy dinner for you three."

Anyone who'd met Minhyun would never expect him to be nice to another person. Especially someone who was rude to him when first speaking. However, Minhyun cared more for Yoona to gloss over Lucas's actions.

Lucas and Eunha exchanged eye contact. Since they did not expect to be invited to a dinner, they had to make sure that both were comfortable with tagging along.

At first, Eunha didn't want to intrude in Yoona's moment with her childhood friend but for safety reasons, she couldn't help but worry. No matter how much she shipped the two, she didn't want a Jaemin to happen again. She didn't know Minhyun well enough to approve of him fully. It didn't help that Minhyun was also rich and good-looking. She always joked about rich guys, but her truth was far from that. Most wealthy men did not have the best personalities due to their power and surroundings growing up. It was inevitable.

Besides, something about Minhyun was dark. She wasn't sure why. He had an innocent smile towards everyone but if you looked at his reaction to everyone else, he was different. Was there something more about their past that she didn't know of?

"Sure," Eunha answered. She nudged Yoona. "I hope you don't mind us intruding on your date."

Minhyun coughed due to his surprise. He didn't expect for Eunha to say such a bold statement. He wasn't used to this type of treatment.

Yoona nudged her friend back, sending her friend a don't-make-this-awkward look. "Stop joking around silly, you're making him uncomfortable."

Then she turned to Minhyun. "Sorry about that, she's a little aggressive at times but I promise she's a great girl."

Minhyun let out a small smile. "It's okay, I understand."

Eunha admit her defeat. Perhaps it was too early for her jokes.

"Sorry, didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable," she apologized sheepishly.

Minhyun shook his head. "No offence taken. Do not worry."

His kind words made Eunha cock her head. Perhaps she was wrong about him being being a dark person. After all, he did look at Yoona with a gaze full of care. Whether or not he was a warm or cold guy, as long as he treated Yoona well, that was all that mattered wasn't it?

Either way, time would tell. Eunha should not get too excited.

Yoona was glad to see the interaction between the two. Although she knew that Eunha was joking about the date, she didn't want Minhyun to misinterpret anything negative towards her friends.

"Anyways," Yoona said. "Let us go then?"

"Sure, let me just change," Lucas said as he placed his hands in his pockets. He was still wearing his white chef outfit.

"Oh yeah," Yoona looked down on her outfit as well. She didn't want to stay at the restaurant any longer. "I also need to change, plus take a shower."

Since Yoona's house was not far from her current location, it would be easy for her to quickly dress up for the dinner. With of course, Eunha coming along as well, since she was also covered in food from the accident.

While they were talking about leaving, the manager snapped out of his zone. The whole movie-like scene made him forget about the whole situation with the restaurant. To think that he was neglecting his responsibilities - how crazy was he?!? He immediately walked towards the group with anger on his face.

"Excuse me!" He said, his mustache bouncing as he stomped forward. "Who said you guys were leaving? Eunha and Yoona, both of you have committed a grave crime against our lovely owner. It's an absolute disgrace to see our two finest waitresses act this way. You will be punished accordingly."

Eunha rolled her eyes, not caring about the criticism. The manager was spilling absolute bogus.

"Second," the manager said. He pointed to Minhyun. "Who are you? How did you get into our restaurant? You are now officially blacklisted from this place!"

The girls at the table gasped. Clearly, the manager was making a mistake. Nobody talked to Chae Minhyun in that manner. They suddenly felt a sense of dislike towards the restaurant.

Lucas pushed the manager's hand away from pointing to Minhyun and took a step forward. Compared to the manager's short height, Lucas toward over him.

"Oi. As a human, do you have the decency to say that after what that bitch did to Yoona?" Lucas began. He sent the manager an army salute to mock him. "That's it. I'm not staying here anymore, especially under that tyrant bitch. I quit."

The manager looked as if he was wheezing. The reason for his anger burst was to look good in front of the new owner. But to think his own employee would quit right in front of her. This was a terrible situation.

Eunha crossed her arms and turned her head away from the manager. "I quit too. Who wants to work under that Moon bitch. Please. I'd rather eat trash for a living."

A grand smile appeared on Yoona's face. God. When has she ever been happier? The two were seriously quitting in front of everyone while swearing at Jaeun. Nobody was sane enough to take that type of risk for a friend.

Yoona excepted to hear a certain, high-pitched voice defending themselves, but no trace of Jaeun could be heard at the restaurant. She turned around, looking at every nook of the room. Wait a minute. Where was that girl? Did she disappear while they were all busy with the reunion.

Everything began to make sense when she remembered the garlic incident. Jaeun left without notice due to her hives. She wouldn't want to show them to front of everyone.

Yoona let out a dry laugh. "Well manager, I don't see Jaeun anywhere in the room. Instead of getting angry at us, you should try to find the precious owner."

She flipped her hair. "Oh, and I also wanted to say: I quit."

Minhyun never felt so proud of the girl in front of him. Seeing her standing up for herself made him realize how much she'd grown as a person. The cute toddler had grown up to be a strong woman.

The manager, on the other hand, had a different reaction. He was going ballistic. First, his best employees were leaving Bianchi all at the same time. That was already a hit to the business. Secondly, just like Yoona had said, the owner was nowhere to be found! All the girls at the table realized this as well and began to dial their phones, trying to get a hold of Jaeun.

Yoona shook her head after seeing the mess this whole situation caused. It was lucky that she got out of it unscathed. Today actually went quite well compared to how her situations with Jaeun usually went down. For once, she had a happy ending.

Of course, she knew that Jaeun would get her revenge at school and that she wouldn't have the same support system. Nonetheless, it felt good to actually do something back. To get revenge and to stand for her ground.

A set of giggles interrupted Yoona's train of thoughts. She looked over to see a smile on Eunha's face, so wide that it was enough to rip her cheeks.

"I can't believe I actually quit in such a cool way," Eunha squealed while flipping her hair. "I kind of feel badass?"

Lucas shook his head. "You know you sound less cool after saying that?"

She stuck her tongue out. "Whatever."

Eunha proceeded to look over at Yoona, trying to change the subject. "Shall we go then? I really hate the feeling of food in my hair. Now I know how you felt when that girl pelted you with fettuccine."

Yoona giggled, linking arms with the short-haired girl. "Let's go. And yes, this is the exact feeling."

"Fettuccine in your hair?"

Since Minhyun was back in New York during the time and since he wasn't a worker at the restaurant, he had no idea what they were talking about.

Yoona shook her head. Now that she had talked to Minhyun for some time, her nervousness began to relax. "It's quite a story. I'll tell you later when we meet up!"

Minhyun nodded, his eyes twinkling with happiness. "Can't wait."
