Honey Trouble — Chapter 6

SO...

...WHEN'S OUR NEXT PRACTICE?

...IS THAT ALL YOU THINK ABOUT? DON'T YOU FEEL THE LEAST BIT GUILTY?

HUH? ME, GUILTY? FOR WHAT?

YOU CRAZY SON OF A BITCH! YOU'RE INHUMANE! YOU'RE CRUEL!

IT STILL FEELS LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING INSIDE ME!!!

WHAT? LET ME SEE WHAT IT IS.

HEY, LET GO OF ME!!

BUT DIDN'T YOU LIKE IT?

IT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN JACKING-

SHUT UP!!!

AGH!!

SO WHEN'S OUR NEXT PRACTICE?

STOP IT!

WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, WOOJU.

NOT THIS WEEK.

I AGREED TO HELP HEEWON OUT THIS WEEK.

HEEWON? THE ONE THAT RUNS AN ONLINE SHOPPING SITE?

YEAH. A MODEL BACKED OUT LAST MINUTE, SO HE ASKED ME TO FILL IN. THEY'RE PREPARING FOR WINTER CLOTHES ALREADY.

THEN WHAT ABOUT THE CONFESSION?

WHAT IF HAE-SEO FINDS SOMEONE ELSE SHE FANCIES?

WELL...

...I'M GONNA PRACTICE ON MY OWN WHENEVER I HAVE TIME...

WHAT?? I'M OFFERING TO HELP HERE! WHY WOULD YOU PRACTICE BY YOURSELF?

NO, YOU CRAZY BASTARD.

IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE MORE TIME THAN YOU!

FUCK!

I'M GONNA COME OVER WHENEVER I'M FREE, SO BE READY!

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING ALREADY...

COME TO THINK OF IT, DO YOU EVEN GO HOME? WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT MY PLACE?

YEAH, WELL... I'M JUST...

HUH?? WHERE DID THE TIME GO?

I'D BETTER GO MAKE MORE MONEY.

HEY!! YOU SAID YOU'D STAY FOR LUNCH!

I HAVE TO GO GET READY. I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

HMPH... SINCE WHEN IS HE SO HARD -WORKING?

COME TO THINK OF IT, I'VE NEVER BEEN TO JIHEON'S PLACE BEFORE.

HAS IT BEEN 20 YEARS NOW?

WE'VE BEEN JOINED AT THE HIP FOR 20 YEARS, BUT I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM.

I'VE NEVER MET HIS MOTHER...

AND I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT HAE-SEO.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS WE'RE GOOD FRIENDS?

WHY CAN'T HE OPEN UP MORE?

WOW, NICE OFFICE!! YOU'VE MADE IT, HEEWON.

HI THERE.

HELLO!

IT'S ALL DEBT, MAN.

HEY, WHY DID YOU BUY ALL THIS? I SHOULD BE THE ONE TREATING YOU.

TREAT ME TO SOME FOOD AFTER.

AREN'T YOU HOT?

THIS IS FROM OUR NEW FALL/WINTER COLLECTION!

YEAH, OF COURSE! THANKS FOR THIS.

IT'S HOT OUT, RIGHT? SIT UNDER THE AC.

JISOO, EUNKYU. HAVE SOME SNACKS.

I'D BETTER EAT SOMETHING, TOO.

I'VE BEEN SO BUSY THAT I SKIPPED LUNCH.

ARE YOU THAT BUSY?

WE NEED TO PREPARE BEFORE THE NEXT SEASON. WE'RE ALREADY BEHIND AS IT IS.

NOW THAT YOU SAY IT, JIHEON'S BEEN BUSY WITH SHOOTS LATELY, TOO

HE'S BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING TO WEAR LONG WINTER COATS IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER.

...IT INTRIGUES ME WHENEVER YOU TALK ABOUT JIHEON.

YOU'RE NOT A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, ARE YOU?

DID THE HEAT GET TO YOUR HEAD?

YOU TALKED TO HIM ON VIDEO CHAT LAST TIME...

YEAH, I WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE SUDDENLY WANTED TO TALK TO ME.

HE'S LIKE THAT...

YEAH? SOUNDS LIKE A SOCIABLE GUY.

OH YEAH!!

I'VE BEEN MEANING TO TELL YOU!

YOU SCARED ME. WHAT IS IT?!

YOU KNOW SUNJOON?

APPARENTLY, HE'S GONNA TRANSFER TO YOUR DEPARTMENT AS A PROFESSOR NEXT SEMESTER.

WH-WHAT??? SERIOUSLY??

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

SOOYOUNG NOONA WORKS IN PROFESSOR CHOI'S LAB, REMEMBER?

SHE OVERHEARD DURING LUNCH.

THEN IS HE BACK IN KOREA?! NO WAY!!!

HAHA

SO SELECT YOUR CLASSES CAREFULLY.

YOU DON'T WANNA SCREW YOURSELF OVER AGAIN AND HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER LEAVE.

THIS IS CRAZY...

I BETTER WORK HARDER, DAMN.

ARE YOU THAT HAPPY? I HAVE NO INTEREST IN ARCHITECTURE MYSELF.

I WOULDN'T KNOW SUNJOON IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU.

IT'S LIKE THIS. IMAGINE IF JIHEON OFFERED TO BE A MODEL FOR YOUR ONLINE SHOPPING SITE.

THAT'D BE INSANE.

RIGHT?

I HAVE TO CHECK THE SIZES. TRY THIS ON FIRST.

THE SHIRTS SHOULD FIT, BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE PANTS.

THOSE TWO PANTS ARE DIFFERENT SIZES, SO PUT ON THE ONES THAT FIT.

I'M GONNA BE SETTING UP FOR THE SHOOT. COME OUT WHEN YOU'RE READY.

OKAY...

HEEWON, CAN I GO SOMEPLACE ELSE TO...

WHAT?

N-NEVER MIND.

I SHOULD JUST MAKE IT QUICK...

ARE YOU CHANGED?

YEAH...

HEY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR NECK? DID YOU SCRATCH IT?

AND WHY ARE YOU SWEATING SO MUCH?

HUH? OH...IT JUST GOT A BIT ITCHY.

WE SHOULD LET THE REDNESS GO DOWN BEFORE WE SHOOT.

SIT DOWN FOR A BIT AND DON'T TOUCH YOURSELF.

I SHOULD'VE JUST ASKED TO CHANGE SOMEWHERE ELSE...

OVER THERE...

WHY IS HE CALLING ME THROUGH VIDEO CHAT...?

HELLO?

HEY, YOU'RE TOO CLOSE. YOUR FACE IS MASSIVE. MOVE BACK.

AW, WHY? LET'S JUST TALK LIKE THIS.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? YOU LOOK SUPER SCARY.

YOU'RE SO FUSSY...

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS CALL VIA VIDEO CHAT? FRIENDS DON'T USUALLY DO VIDEO CHAT LIKE THIS.

AH...THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WITHOUT FRIENDS SAY.

BUT WHY IS YOUR NECK SO RED?

YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD. IS SOMETHING WRONG?

NO...NOT REALLY.

I GOT BITTEN BY A MOSQUITO.

YOU'RE SURE NOTHING'S WRONG?

I'M SURE. I HAVE TO GO.

I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I'M DONE.

YEAH RIGHT...

I WONDER WHEN MONSOON SEASON WILL BE THIS YEAR...
