Honey Trouble — Chapter 2

HEY...YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME WITH ME, YOU KNOW.

I CAN DO THIS ON MY OWN.

YOU HAVE A SHOOT TODAY, TOO.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S BEEN TREMBLING WITH FEAR EVERY TIME YOUR PHONE VIBRATES.

& COOK

NO, I HAVEN'T!

YEAH-HUH!

JUST DON'T BALL YOUR EYES OUT WHEN HAE-SEO TURNS YOU DOWN.

...SORRY. BUT I'M INTERESTED IN SOMEONE ELSE.

IT'S OVER, JUST LIKE THAT?

H-HAE-SEO.

JUST HEAR ME OUT.

I HEARD THAT YOU LIKE TO DO THAT THING TO GUYS...

...S-SO I'VE BEEN PRACTICING A WHOLE LOT.

I'VE ALSO BEEN PRACTICING SO THAT I CAN REALLY MEET YOUR NEEDS...

STOP! ENOUGH!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANY MORE.

WOOJU, I GET HOW YOU FEEL...

BUT I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE ANSWER YOU WANT.

WAIT...

SORRY. I SHOULD GO.

HAE-SEO...

WHAT DO WE DO? THAT WAS SO FUCKING SAD...

THIS SON OF A BITCH...

I PRACTICED SO HARD FOR THIS...

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

MAYBE YOU'LL NEED THOSE SKILLS AGAIN ONE DAY.

WHEN THE HELL WOULD I NEED THEM AGAIN, DUMMY?

I HAD A FEELING SHE COULD TURN ME DOWN...

...BUT IT STILL HURTS.

DO YOU WANT SOME ICE CREAM?

THE REASON WHY I ENDED UP DOING ALL THAT "PRACTICING" WITH JIHEON...

...IS BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED A MONTH AGO.

ARE YOU GONNA QUIT YOUR PART-TIME JOB?

HMM... PROBABLY.

THIS IS MY FINAL YEAR.

DO YOU REMEMBER CHOI EUNSOO FROM OUR CLASS?

APPARENTLY, HE GOT A JOB AT HAEKWANG CONSTRUCTION.

REALLY? I'M JELLY..., I WONDER IF WE'LL EVER GET A JOB LIKE THAT.

WHAT ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT? YOUR PARENTS ARE ARCHITECTS.

JUST TAKE OVER THE FAMILY BUSINESS.

HEY, JUST BECAUSE I'M THEIR KID DOESN'T MEAN THEY'LL PASS IT DOWN TO ME.

LIFE ISN'T THAT EASY.

BESIDES, IF I WANT TO TAKE OVER THE COMPANY, I SHOULD BE MORE...

MORE WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

WH- WHO IS THAT?

THE RESEMBLANCE IS UNCANNY.

HOW WOULD I KNOW...?

OH? THAT'S LEE HAE-SEO.

IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME SEEING HER?

SHE TRANSFERRED TO OUR DEPARTMENT LAST SEMESTER.

EVERYBODY LOST THEIR SHIT.

WHY?

BECAUSE SHE'S YOON JOO-AH'S NIECE.

THAT MAKES HER YOON JIHEON'S COUSIN.

COUSIN???

HE NEVER TOLD ME HE HAD A COUSIN...

SHE'S A BIT YOUNGER BUT ESSENTIALLY THEY'RE THE SAME AGE.

I THOUGHT YOU'RE CLOSE WITH JIHEON. HOW COME YOU DIDN'T KNOW?

HUH? YEAH, I KNOW, RIGHT...?

WOW, THERE'S NO DENYING YOON JOO-AH'S GENES...

WHY ISN'T SHE AN ACTRESS? IS IT BECAUSE SHE'S A BETA?

SHE'S A BETA...?

AGH, SHE SAW ME LOOKING AT HER.

WAIT, ARE YOU INTO HER??

BUT SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE JIHEON...

HM...THEN WHY DON'T YOU GO TALK TO HER? I COULD USE A SMOKE BREAK ANYWAYS.

BUS STOP

EXCUSE ME...

HEY.

YOU'RE OHN WOOJU, RIGHT?

Y-YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!

I'VE SEEN YOU IN PHOTOS.

OUR HIGH SCHOOLS WERE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, TOO.

WAIT, SERIOUSLY? HOW COME I DIDN'T KNOW THAT??

I KNOW, RIGHT?

JIHEON PROBABLY MADE A FUSS TO MAKE SURE NOBODY TALKED ABOUT ME WHEN YOU WERE AROUND.

HEY, I'M COMING BACK TO SCHOOL NEXT SEMESTER.

CAN I HAVE YOUR NUMBER?

HAE-SEO!

ASK JIHEON.

WHO'S THAT?

SEE YOU AROUND.

OH, OKAY...

BYE!

JIHEON!!

HEYYY, LOVER.

I PAID YOUR MAINTENANCE FEE BECAUSE THEY SENT A REMINDER. I DID GOOD, RIGHT?

OOPS, I TOTALLY FORGOT...

ANYWAYS! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOUR COUSIN IS A STUDENT IN MY DEPARTMENT??

WHAT? HAE-SEO IS GOING TO SCHOOL??

SINCE WHEN??

ARE YOU IN LOVE?

NO, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT...

ACTUALLY, MAYBE I DO HAVE A CRUSH ON HER.

SHIT! WHY?!

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM...?

I JUST FELT SOMETHING WHEN WE MADE EYE CONTACT.

EYE CONTACT?

OH YEAH. HAE-SEO'S EYES ARE SUPER PRETTY, AREN'T THEY?

DOESN'T SHE LOOK A LOT LIKE ME?? ESPECIALLY HER EYES.

WHAT? NOT AT ALL. HAE-SEO IS SO MUCH PRETTIER.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? SHE'S BASICALLY ME WITH LONG HAIR.

AS IF. HAE-SEO IS A GODDESS.

HEY, BRING ME A WIG. I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT HAE-SEO WOULD LOOK LIKE IF SHE WAS OVER SIX FEET TALL.

ANYWAYS, GIVE ME HER NUMBER. HAE-SEO SAID I COULD ASK YOU.

WOW, YOU EVEN GOT HER PERMISSION? WHAT A GENTLEMAN.

WHAT'S HE DOING GETTING ANOTHER BETA'S NUMBER?

HE SHOULD FIGURE HIMSELF OUT FIRST...

HEY, SO WHAT DOES HAE-SEO LIKE? SHE'S A BETA, RIGHT?

IS SHE SEEING ANYONE?

HOW WOULD I KNOW?

SHE COULD BE GOING OUT WITH A SQUID OR AN OCTOPUS FOR ALL I CARE.

COME ON, STOP MESSING AROUND AND TELL ME.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAE-SEO REALLY LIKES?
