"I mean why not?" asked Minjae as he held baby Heesung on his lap bouncing him as he giggled.
I sighed as I took a sip of my wine not knowing what more to say, "I mean it was a good idea at first but actually falling through with the plan starting my own firm sounds kind of dumb. I mean it is a tough field.
"Its not dumb and I think that you could actually do it. Come on Tally. You coached me back in college before my exams and look how well I did and you did even better and was the valedictorian and even got scholarships." he argued as he went to place Heesung on the floor where the twins were playing.
"Hey' said Lia walking up to us and sat on her now Fiancé's lap, "what are you guys talking about?"
"Oh hey soon to be Mrs. Minjae. He was talking about me opening my own firm and I am just here trying to enjoy my wine." I said as I took a sip before finishing the whole glass in one go.
I really needed that.
"Oh my God yes! You should" she said clapping her hands and I groaned for I thought that I was going to get her on my side.
"You guys are impossible" I said as I left the couch and went to the kitchen for more wine trying to avoid Minjae and Lia's friends who were enjoying the engagement party.
"Hi" said some one from behind me and I turned and saw that it was one of Minjae's friends whose name I didn't bother to learn.
"Hello" I replied giving him a brief polite smile before stepping to his side to try and leave but he just blocked my path almost spilling my wine.
"Leaving so soon?" he asked as he stepped closer and I stepped back until I was blocked into a corner.
I sighed as I placed my drink on the counter and folded my arms being done with his bull shit, "excuse me sir but I need to be some place else and you are blocking the path so if you could just be so kind to I don't know move that would be so nice thank you."
He chuckled at my words and came even closer and held onto my waist and my skin crawled, "I have been eyeing your beauty all night and now I finally have your attention and you all to myself. What do you say we ditch this place and some place quiet? I promise you that you will have the time of your life."
I literally threw up in my mouth at how repulsive him and his words were and I had grew tired of him at this point so I gave him a hard shove and quickly stepped to the side after grabbing my wine while he was stumbling finally free.
"You should be glad that a man is even showing interest in you cheap hoe!" he yelled after me and I literally froze and my eye twitched.
Oh ho I have been waiting for this one!
I have been waiting on the perfect time to let off some steam and I think that I have found the perfect channel.
I slowly turned on my heal towards his smirking scum ass before turning my wine up my head and finished it it one go before marching up to him and punched him right in the eye then proceeded to kick him in the nuts but I still had some more steam that I wanted to blow off and I smashed my wine glass onto the counter and advanced towards him raising it but I felt strong arms held my wrist before I could have done any more damage.
Aww man.
"Enough Atalia" I heard Minjae say as he spun me around and took the broken glass from my hand that was filled with blisters, "Lia hunny come get her please. She needs a time out."
A time out?
What was I a kid?
I scoffed as Lia came and held my hand pulling me towards the bathroom to clean my palm.
"What was that out there Tal Tal? Are you okay? I haven't seen you like that in like over a year." said Lia genuinely concerned as sat me down on the toilet before grabbing the first aid kit to attend to my hand.
I sighed as she removed the shards of glass from my hands not even bothering to answer her question for I too didn't know what came over me.
All I knew was that tonight was another experience to add to my list as to why I hate men.
"I hope I gave him a really good black eye" I thought smirking as Lia finished up with my hand and then we exited the bathroom to see the guy gone.
"You're something else aren't you" said Minjae walking up to us with his hands on his hips as he shook his head, "why do you always have to be braking bottles huh? We have babies here and we cant have shards of glass everywhere." he scolded and I actually started to feel bad and I lowered my head in shame.
Lia luckily came to my defense pulling me closer to her side like the protective Unnie she was, "JaeJae leave her alone. She was obviously not in her right mind and has been extra stress lately and that guy was harassing her. Look I'll clean up the glass and everything will be fine for she did the right thing."
He sighed and shook his head once more before the tone in in his softened, "I'm sorry I yelled and I'm sorry he did that to you. You really did do the right thing. Is you hand okay? I mean you pack a mean punch and you punched him square in the eye. I have to admit that was pretty cool."
I beamed at his compliment, but I still was not safe, "well you did that and you did it to my manager so yeah."
His words made my smile fell.
I fucked up big time.
"Oh I didn't know. I'm sorry" he apologized ad he shook his head waving it off.
"Its no Biggy. You can make it up to me by making me your partner in your company." he said suggestively and I rolled my eyes at him finding myself back at square one with him again.
"Fine" I folded, "but I will not take it easy on you and you will address and call me boss got that?"
He smiled and pulled me in for a hug and I felt my muscles relax as if he just took my stress away and I just let him hug me then Lia joined.
"Yay! Tally is going to build an empire!" I laughed at her enthusiasm liking the sound of that.
I was going to build and empire.
How hard can it be?
