THE LADY IS A COLD HEARTED PROTAGONIST

The group finished dinner after nearly an hour. When Miyeon made a move to help Ami with cleaning up the table, Jesse quickly stood up and gently guided the young woman back down to her chair.

"Irene, you should rest a bit," Jesse said. "You too, Ami. I'll handle the cleanup."

"Oh my. Thank you," Ami responded with a slight blush gracing her cheeks. 'My is it just me or is it hot in here?' she wondered before heading off to her room.

"Thanks, Jesse," Miyeon shot the blond haired man a dimpled smile and sat back comfortably on the chair.

"Tch. Show off," Lu Minzhe clicked his tongue and muttered.

"Matt, you got something to say?" Jesse challenged; however, Lu Minzhe simply ignored him.

Lu Minzhe turned to Miyeon and eagerly inquired, "Yeon-ah, shall we catch up on Penthouse?"

"Huh? Oh sure! Alright," Miyeon easily agreed. She's also been wanting to catch up with her shows. Has she managed to convert Lu Minzhe to a kdrama fan?
