Or down. You can choose whichever. -smiles, batting her eyelashes- You should have visited me on campus one day, you would have had one amazing day with all those…. desperate girls.
The dark locks made you look so… typical. Like every other Korean, which I guess that’s what your parents wanted but…. I did like the scarlet hair on you. -She nodded- I made a great choice for you, I don’t understand why your father hated it. He’s really got to read a fashion magazine or two.
Hmmm yes, that really is something resume worthy. -she said, looking up at him with a grin- Would you like a reference letter as well? I’ll sign it for you as well.
I deserve all the credit, let’s be real. -raising an eyebrow, she gave him a little pout- I didn’t do all that charity work for nothing. And I’m pretty sure you aren’t clean, what are you hiding from me?
I’m sure I would have, but guess who’s a pre-med student? {‘holds up his hands and shrugs} some of us, while enjoying the life of high society and living off our parents’ bottomless bank accounts, are aware of the horrid possibly that it won’t be forever~ {'he sings the last word, as if teasing you}
I’m hurt, love. You’re saying my face isn’t enough to help me stand out? {'he pouts, clasping his chest} It was a great colour on me, wasn’t it? Maybe I should go back to that, or do something even more outrageous – like rainbow. How do you think my father will like that?
Oh please, {'scoffs} the closest thing my father will come to a fashion magazine is interior designs on first-class planes or the Wall Street Journal.
I’d absolutely adore it, darling. I knew I can always count on you. {'plants an obnoxious kiss on your cheek}
I’ve been here for only a couple weeks, Minah, give a guy some time to recharge before he paints an entire town, in this case, city, red.
Complicated? I don’t see how? { `pressing on the subject more even if the other head made it so that he didn’t want to continue.}
— { `pointing to the pout on his lips.} That is not going to work on me you know I don’t care if you’re the new kid. { `chuckles.} You do have a heart made of gold, don’t you?
{‘he’s caught a glimpse of the game that other was trying to play, and suddenly Jayce competitive – he wasn’t willing to lose this game}
Why don’t you come see for yourself sometime, hm? {'he cocks his head, his words sticky as honey as he drawls them from his lips}
Ah, yes, but I’m not sure if you’ve earned my acts of kindness yet. {'sits back on his chair and grins} Buy me a cup of coffee and we’ll see.
Ah, so… you’re from America?! {`both his eyes widens because this was his first time meeting a New Yorker} When did you move into seoul, hm? Oh, yeah, and I’m just tired as usual. Explains why there are visible dark circles under my eyes. Heh, I’m sure you’ve probably noticed them already. {`he rubs the around his eyes before he softly chuckles to himself}
Mmm. Yes. {‘he nods, tapping his finger on his chin} I moved here… Maybe two weeks ago? I’ve been so busy that I lost track. {'laughs softly}
You’re talking to the guy that came from The City That Never Sleeps, and a word advice from the man that enjoys the nightlife a little too much– Coffee is your best friend. {'pats your shoulder solemnly}
I’m sure I’ll be fine, but I’ll keep your words in mind. -grins, blowing him an air kiss-
Lots of drunk girls trying too hard to be accepted into the whole sisterhood bull crap willing to sleep with any half decent looking guys. -She replied back in English, giving him a knowing look-
It really is, surprisingly. -She commented, scrunching her nose a bit at his next comment- Oh god no, you’d look like your grandfather already. You do want girls, right? Like young girls and not the older…. women. Right? -laughs at his joke, shaking her head- You must think you’re so funny.
Enough about me ruining the family name, which I will say, I haven’t done. I think my list of charities I’ve supported speaks for itself. -She said, giving him a questioning look- What about you, I’m sure you must have gotten in some trouble within the last 24 hours.
You know I always gave the best advice. {‘pretends to catch the air kiss blown at him and mimes tucking it into his shirt pocket, grinning all the way}
Half-decent? So I’ve moved up then. {'he runs his tongue over his lips, his expression teasing and mischievous}
What do you mean, surprising? You’re pretty used to the dark locks my parents favored on me… Although, I did have that scarlet hair one time, thanks to you.The look on my father’s face when he saw me with that hair– {'he holds his hand over his mouth, stifling back a laughter} I thought he would shave it right off. {'shakes his head at the memory}
I don't want girls, they come to me. {'hums, looping his arm around you again} see? I’ve managed to keep the interest of the great Bang Minah for more than ten minutes. I should put that on my resume.
Mmm. Getting defensive now, are we? I guess I have to give you some credit… Nope. {'shakes his head} I’m clean. {'holds up his hands}
Oh please, give me some credit. -she sighed, rolling her eyes- If I managed to fuck up the Brown sororities and fraternities in a semester, this city should be no problem.
Well what you did in New York is surely to follow you to Seoul, Mr. Jang -she spoke in English, raising an eyebrow- Nice hair, it suits you. If you’re a changed man, I must be changed woman.
As much as my grandpa would despise that… we all know I was never that classy.
Mm. Careful what you wish for, darling. {‘he wags one of his fingers, clicking his tongue}
That must be a hell lot of girls. {'he replies right back in English, winking}
Thanks. Platinum’s really my colour, hm? I’m thinking of dying it grey, actually. To slow down my aging process and whatnot, like Dorian Grey. No pun intended. {'he laughs as he continues speaking in English, you understood what he was saying and his native tongue was so much easier to be clever in than Korean}
Grandfathers, fathers. We’re all just a shame on the family name, aren’t we? Too bad we have too much fun doing it. {'gives you a chesire-like grin, shaking his head a little}
Maybe, maybe not. { `shrugs.} Guessing you are some sort of escort by the means of your words then. { `leaning back into the chair, he drums his fingers idly on the wooden table.} Prove it. Pay for my coffee and muffin then we’ll see.
The word “escort” is an understatement for my job. {‘moves to sit across from you} It’s far more complicated than that. {'waves a dismissive hand}
Tsk. I’m the new kid around here, shouldn’t you be the one spoiling me? {'puts his elbow on the table, leaning his chin against his hand as he gives you a small, childish pout}
Let’s be real, if I don’t get in some sort of scandal, it would mean the queen has died a little. -she said with a sigh- I already know you’re going to be in a shit load of scandals soon.
Well I did manage to take over Manhattan and the Upper East side, how hard can Seoul be? -she shrugged, smiling at him- Plus, being the heiress to one of the biggest luxury brand importer doesn’t hurt.
A little? More like buried six feet under. {‘he scoffs, his tone still lighthearted and teasing}
Hm? And what makes you say that, my dear? {'he takes off his hat and runs his fingers through the platinum locks, giving them a disheveled look (there was no point really, the hat would cover it up anyways)} I am a changed man from the boy you knew in New York City. I’m Korean now, there’s no turning back. {'his eyes twinkle in mischief as he pats his chest proudly}
Ooh. Using your daddy’s name to tarnish it. Classy. {'grins}
Of course, it wouldn’t be me without an overload of optimism. -she replied back in English with a small smile, crossing her arms- I only arrived in Seoul a week ago, I’ve been spending my time indulging in massages. As a way to get rid of the jet lag, of course. Hmmm none of that just yet.
Yet? {‘he raises an eyebrow before letting out a low chuckle, shaking his head} Well, I guess there would be no Bang Minah without the scandals.
So how do you plan on taking over Seoul? {'he lets go of your shoulders before crossing his arms, a curious brow raised and a playful smirk gracing his features}
Ah, wow, a smarty-pants, huh? -She taps her temples and grins cheekily- Columbia is quite the school. And Biology is quite the major. Were you pre-med or…? -she wrinkles her nose and shakes her head- Nope, not a fashion major. Journalism, actually. Went to NYU, though. The fashion thing just kinda happened, you know, when I moved here. Vogue had an opening, and so I moved. -She lets that become her story quite frequently, though there’s much more to it- I used to write for the New Yorker.
Nah. Just well-educated. {‘offers his own cheeky grin} Yeah I’m taking a break from medical school now, actually. Was going to be a pediatrician. Well, is, I guess. {'shrugs}
So I was close? {'his smile is wide, his eyes brightening} I got the school part down, and I was close about the fashion. Wow I am on a ROLL. {'chuckles as he shakes his head}
Vogue? {'cocks his head slightly} so you moved from writing about world issues to… shoe crises?
Nothing, it’s too attractive. { `chuckles faintly at the tone of the male’s voice, iris’s dilating due to the light he shifted his weight to his other leg.} So, I understand you know the common assumption of attractive people around here is that they play around, no matter how nice you are on the inside.
Is that your way of complimenting someone? {‘cocks his head slightly before flashing you a cheeky grin}
Mm. That’s where you’re mistaken. Icould and do play around, I mean, I just don’t get paid for doing so. {'reaches up to fix the hat over his head} Besides, that doesn’t change the fact that I have a heart of gold. {'taps his chest}
