“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?

He fixed his tie. “Its a secret.”

“Mini!”

From Past To Present, I Still Love You

The next day, Yoona spent the whole morning and afternoon studying. Since she had quit Bianchi she had lots of free-time to focus on her studies.


Her main focus of the day was calculus as it was her weakest subject; she continuously trudged through the questions, hoping to get through everything. Midterms were creeping up and she didn't want her overall grades to drop.


Although her scholarships weren't high, she had to upkeep them to lessen her university costs. Last semester, she was very close to loosing them. By raising her average this year, she could prevent this from happening in the future.


After six hours of studying and taking breaks, she heard her phone buzz against the wooden table. She cocked her head, wondering who could be calling her at this hour.


She looked over to see Eunha's name pop up on the screen. What could she want? 


The library was quiet and she didn't want to broadcast her whole conversation to everyone.


"Yoona!" Eunha exclaimed. "How are you?"


"Good, I'm just studying," Yoona replied. She placed her pen down on top of her textbook. "What's up?"


Eunha paused for a moment, before speaking again. "I wanted to ask you if you wanted to drink today. You still owe me some soju from last week remember? Plus, i'm really bored since we don't work anymore."


"Nope," she popped. "I don't have classes monday."


Her class started at two pm, giving her plenty of time to sober up but she didn't mention that. 


"Come on," Eunha whined. "We can invite Lucas too and it'll be a small get together with the three of us! We also need to talk about the hectic day yesterday."


Yoona thought for a moment. She did owe her two friends a lot for the support that they gave her in the past week. The least she could do was buy them some drinks. Plus, she didn't need to drink too much. Since her tolerance was high, even after drinking a bottle, she wouldn't get hungover the next day.


Besides, she also wanted to ask them about the sudden realization she got last night. She needed answers, and with two other opinions, she felt like she could come to a final conclusion. Besides, Lucas gave great advice when it came to these things.


With a playful sigh, she replied. "Fine. You win."


She could hear Eunha cheering from the speakers. Yoona let out a small chuckle.


"Oh!" Eunha suddenly said. "Why don't you invite Minhyun as well? Have you talked to him since last night?"


After yesterday, she hadn't received a text from him. Of course, as the CEO of a large conglomerate, she didn't expect him to anyways. He was a busy man who had a lot of responsibilities. 


Plus, after her sudden awakening last night, she was just a tad reluctant about him. If he were to message her right away, then she might've gotten a bit more suspicious. After all, why would he ignore his responsibilities to talk to her? The whole situation was strange in itself to begin with. Luckily, seeing him busy with his own work helped her trust him a bit more.


"I haven't talked to him since and even though he's my childhood friend, I do feel a little tiny bit awkward bringing him along," she answered honestly. 


Eunha seemed to understand immediately. "That's true. Okay! You want to meet at seven at the usual place?"


When they wanted to drink, the trio met at a pocha near the back alleyway of the city. It was a small outside bar consisting of a tent, table, chairs, and the worker's area where they made food and carried drinks.


The owner of this pocha was a wonderful old lady who always gave them extra drinks or side dishes. After experiencing this pocha they couldn't go anywhere else to drink.


Besides, it was near their old workplace. The destination was perfect.


"Okay," Yoona said with an excited heart. "I'll see you then!"


Yoona put her phone down with a smile on her face.
