What if Love

Music Room

“Ms. Joy, there’s a package for you” seungwan brought the box inside her house

“ah it came!” a tall girl came rushing from her room, her long black hair would have hit seungwan's face if she wasn't quick enough to dodge, the girl smiled realizing what her cleaner did

"I've been waiting for this" she exclaimed as she take the parcel from the older girl, she opened the box immediately while seungwan assists in disposing the papers and tape the younger girl drops on the floor

“wanna try this too?” she smirks seeing seungwan’s horrified reaction

“N-No, I’m fine. I don’t need any massage. Please enjoy your toy” she stutters, her mind going back to the day she agreed on her client using the massage stick on her. The girl is freaking violent and says that she loves the massage more when it’s painful and according to her it was the healthiest way to do it. Her body aches just the thought of it.

“I guess you didn’t enjoy last time” she pouts making seungwan smile

“ahh seulgi’s right, you do have a cute side” joy’s eyes widen at the mentioned name

“she said that I’m cute? Really?” seungwan nods chuckling at the girl making her share seulgi’s thoughts of her more. It strucks her that maybe the taller girl is having a crush on her best friend.

4 months have gone fast, she grins at the school cashier paying for her fees proudly, she’s the only one at the counter since most of the student’s parents pay online. She happily hops out of the building making her way to the music building to deliver the notes from one of her student client as an on call messenger.

“I-Isn’t that..” she gasps at the slightly opened door seeing the music teacher and a guy making out inside the room.

“Ms. Bae’s boyfriend?” she asks herself before deciding to walk out of the area and wait behind the fire exit door. She has to do the job so she waited until it is safe to approach the professor

“Ms. Lee” She knocks on the door waiting for her confirmation to step inside the room and deliver the notes.

Days quickly passed by as she keep asking herself if she will tell her client about what she saw or remain silent about it. She kept thinking of the pros and cons.

“morning” a voice snaps her out of her thoughts, her goddess employer standing in the hallway looking extra gorgeous in her white maxi dress

“g-good morning Ms. Bae” seungwan tried to hide her surprised look when her client unexpectedly greeted her the moment she stepped inside the front door, she bowed and excused herself to proceed to the kitchen to cook her food but to her surprise the table is already prepared with two plates waiting in the dining table

“Am I late again?” she asks herself and heard her employer sigh

“No.. I thought my boyfriend will eat breakfast here, he left early. Have you eaten yet? Mind joining me?” seungwan saw a bit of sadness in her eyes, making the mood light will be her job today so she gladly accepted the offer making sure to compliment the older with her cooking. Setting aside the bad news first, she will surely tell her what she found out but she has to look for a right time for it. The older insists on cleaning the dishes while she continue with the house cleaning, even though her client has a sad start of the morning she seems to be in a good mood today because she even initiate a conversation with the younger. It didn’t happen to her in her one year working as her part time house helper.

“You go to Yonsei?” her expression died a bit glancing at seungwan’s wallpaper of her and her best friend seulgi in their uniform in front of the music building

“yes Ms. Bae” the older nods a bit walking past her to grab the book she’s reading every morning. She remembers the moment she witnessed on the music room, making theories in her mind that maybe her client knew that he is cheating that is why she was surprised when she found out that she studies in yonsei where the mistress is working. Maybe it is the right time to speak out the truth.

“Ms. Bae..” she starts, that calls the older’s attention

“I have to tell you something.. I saw your boyfriend making out with a professor in the music building, I didn't mean to interfere in your personal life but you deserve to know” seungwan says as fast as she can, just like the rapper she adores in one of those survival diss show they watch every tuesday her brows furrowed seeing Irene's calm face

“I know and I need you to keep it to yourself” that’s the only thing she said before shutting down the conversation, telling her to head out because she’ll be late for class. That was far from what she expected, maybe she watched too much drama this days that she was expecting a fuming mad girlfriend that is ready to pull all of the other girl's hair

Seungwan sighs again and again, she can’t stop thinking about her client’s situation. How can she be so calm knowing that her boyfriend is cheating on her. How long has it been like that? They’re not friends but she’s her first client and her employer for more than a year, enough reason for her to worry about the girl.

“what do you mean you’re going to see her?” seulgi stops her friend from walking the other way when they reached the school’s front gate

“you’re not allowed, remember her rules? Do you want to lose your job?” seulgi tries to knock some senses on her stubborn friend

“I’ll just see if she’s fine. She looks like she’s about to faint earlier” she lied just to make seulgi lose her hold.

Joohyun stood still behind her door listening to the painful words the girl yells on the other side. She has a choice to call security or not to stay there to hear everything, but she wanted to.

Being with donghae means, easy money, easy connections and easy access for her sister’s dream career. Lee donghae, the only son of the director of the no. 1 entertainment agency in korea, she has to be strong for her only family. She can’t let go now that her sister just started her training under his management.

“Ms. Lee?” another voice calls out, joohyun recognized the owner of the voice

“Do you know the girl who live here Ms. Son? She’s a lowlife! a gold digger b*tch!” Ms. Lee screams while hitting the door

“Excuse me Ms. Lee, I think you’re mistaken. She isn’t like that. I know her, please don’t talk bad about her” the professor’s anger rose up hearing her words hitting the younger with her bag

“She was my husband’s mistress, he left her long ago but this slut wanted more money from him, she’s blackmailing him to come back and fill her dirty hole with money!” seungwan looks at the professor with shock, Ms. Lee squeezed her hand into a fist, trying to calm herself not to spit out more sinful words to the younger. She might not be her student, but she’s still studying in her workplace. The older walks closer to seungwan with tears rolling down her eyes

“I’m sorry.. I shouldn’t have bursted out my anger on you” she says almost a whisper before walking past her to leave the building

“unnie..” seungwan softly knocks on the door

“you’re breaking the rules again seungwan, I thought you’re smart. Why is it so hard for you to follow my orders?” she says with toughness in her voice, the younger remained silent still processing everything that happened in her mind, her head low looking at the shadow behind the door

“I’m sorry unnie, I know I’m not allowed to intrude in your personal life.. but-” she finally speaks out after a few seconds of their silence, joohyun heaved a sigh

“You can leave now, I don’t need a person who doesn’t follow my rules. I can’t trust you seungwan, you’re fired” seungwan gasps hearing her words

“unnie please.. I need this job.. please forgive me” the younger pleads, knocking on the door

“please..I can’t lose this job now unnie.. I was worried about you so I came back.. please give me another chance” seungwan let her tears fall seeing the shadow below the door slowly fade
