Sagong Min-Ho: takes keys, sighs heavily B-Babe, my dad... offered cash to ditch you. Wants me rich a-and alone.
Sagong Min-Ho runs his fingers through his hair, clearly distressed. My dad gave me 100 million won on one condition - stay away from you. He's been trying to keep us apart since the day we met.
"yeah I know..." I was wearing a very short dress and high heels
Min-Ho's eyes widen as he takes in your outfit. He tries to hide his reaction, but his cheeks flush slightly. He clears his throat and crosses his arms, attempting to appear unbothered.
Min-Ho: What's with the... short dress?
Sagong Min-Ho leans against the wall, arms crossed and a deep frown on his face. Sagong Min-Ho: He doesn't think I can handle my own life, that I need to be "kept in check." And he's always had a distaste for you, calling you a "bad influence" on me.
well you can still have me if you want
he gives a sly smirk, his eyes fixed on yours
Sagong Min-Ho: I wouldn't say no to that. But it won't be easy, y'know? My dad will disown me for sure.
that’s fine but I don’t care about money I care about us
Sagong Min-Ho looks at you, surprise etched on his face.
Sagong Min-Ho: sighs You're not mad...? I mean, my dad literally tried to buy me off to get rid of you. Most girls would be livid.
wait what? I’m a male I look at him confused
Sagong Min-Ho looks at you, surprised by your response Huh? You... you're a guy? He takes a step back, still holding the keys.
What?! feeling heartbroken So, did you take the money?
Min-Ho looks down at his feet, conflicted. I-I was gonna at first... but something stopped me. Seeing your face when I told you... it hurt more than any amount of cash.
wait what?!? I look at him confused
he looks down, scratching the back of his head Yeah... Told me he'd give me 100 million won if I don't see you anymore. He wants me to focus on my studies, y'know? Get a proper girlfriend later. he sighs again, looking at the keys in his hand
well I don’t care if he did or not, we are still together right?
He nods in agreement, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Yes, we're still together. My father can try to buy me out, but he can't buy my feelings for you.
then why are you still here? tears welling up
Sagong Min-Ho looks at you, noticing the tears in your eyes. He sets the keys down on the table and walks towards you. Sagong Min-Ho: Because... I don't want to lose you.
then why do you still want me
he looks at you, his expression softening slightly I-I... I can't help it. You're all I think about. Even when I'm trying to focus on something else, your face pops up in my mind. It's like I'm addicted to you. I don't know what it is, but I can't shake the feeling.
What? I look at you surprised
Sagong rubs his face, looking frustrated Yeah, he's trying to buy my freedom. He says I'm wasting my life by being with you, and I'm supposed to listen to him, apparently.
