Soulmate

part 31

Ryujin looks at her first, completely feeling shock. Everyone has gathered around them looking at Ryujin and Minho wondering what happened.

Chaeryeong quickly pulls Ryujin away from the crow and Yeji follows.

"Why did you do that?" Chaeryeong asks.

Ryujin didn't say anything, she just keeps looking at her first then occasionally looking in the direction where Minho is being checked my the staff.

"Ryujin?" Yeji spoke softly.

"I hit him" Ryujin says still in shockshock.

"We see that but why?" Chaeryeong asks in a soft manner.

"He was looking at Yeji in a bad way" Ryujin still not looking at them.

"In a bad way like how?" Yeji is the one to ask.

"Like he wants to do inappropriate things to you. I didn't like that and I just lost my cool. I didn't even realize I hit until I saw him on the ground and my fist hurt."

"Ryujin, you can't punch everyone that looks at Yeji unnie like that" Chaeryeong sighs.

"It's fine if people look at her with admiration but his look wasn't like that" Ryujin tries to defend herself.

The phone rings in the practice room so Chaeryeong answers it since everyone else wasn't paying attention. She hangs the phone back up, "Minho oppa and Ryujin, Mr. Shin wants you both in his office."

"Are you gonna okay?" Yeji asks Ryujin. The younger girl nods then makes her way to the office, not bothering to look if Minho is going too.

When they enter the office, Mr. Shin did not look happy at all. The two sits down in front of him and looked down.

"Can someone tell me what happened?" Mr. Shin asks.

"She just punched me. I wasn't even talking to her. She just came up and punched me" Minho says holding his nose.

"Is that true?" Ryujin's dad look at her.

She nods while still looking down.

"Are you going to tell me why?" He says to his daughter.

"Does it matter why!? She punched me for no reason!" Minho raises his voice.

"Minho, I'm still your boss. Show some respect!" Mr. Shin yells.

"I'm sorry sir" Minhi quickly backs down.

"Ryujin, why did you punch Minho?" He asks again.

Ryujin inhales, "He was staring at Yeji in a malicious way."

Minho turns to Ryujin, "You punched me because you're jealous?"

"I punched you because I could tell in your eyes, you were thinking naughty thoughts about her!" Ryujin finally snaps.

"Ryujin, you can't just punch people because they look at your girlfriend" Her dad says.

"Your girlfriend?" Minho frowns

"Not yet my girlfriend, dad but she will be" Ryujin corrects her father.

"This is ridiculous. Just because you're the CEO's daughter, you're not gonna get punished" Minho scoffs.

"What kind of punishment should i give her then?" Mr. Shin asks.

"Ban her from entering the building. I don't feel safe around her" he demands.

"Should I ban you too?" He asks the senior dancers.

"Why would you ban me? I didn't do anything" Minho asks.

"Well you said you don't feel safe around her so I should ban you too so that way Yeji won't feel uncomfortable with your gawking" Mr. Shin says.

"You have no proof!" He stands up to look down at Mr. Shin.

"Oh really? Should we ask Yeji how she feels around you? Don't think I don't know what goes on in this company. I have eyes and ears everywhere" He says calmly.

"Besides, my daughter is a lot of things but she's not one to do anything without a reason" he adds still sounding calm.

"Yes, she shouldn't have punched you. It could have been handled differently. I will deal with her but you need to be professional with your colleagues. I will let this slide for now but if I hear or see you making my female stuff uncomfortable again, you won't be able to work in this industry again, got it?" Mr. Shin props his elbows on his desk now looking innocent but sounding intimidating.

Ryujin is sitting there not knowing what to do. She expected to be scolded badly, she didn't expect for Minho to get in trouble too.

"You may leave now, Minho. I'll talk to my daughter privately" he says dismissing Minho.

After Minho leaves, Ryujin is preparing herself. She's not sure what her dad is gonna do but she's anticipating something bad.

"Ryujin, didn't I say to stay out of trouble?" He says sounding disappointed.

"I'm sorry, dad. I lost control" she says.

"You can't lose control like that" he stands up and walks to over to her.

Ryujin looks up at him, "I didn't mean to ruin your reputation."

"You think I'm disappointed because I'm worried how you would make me look?" He asks now sitting down where Minho sat.

Ryujin nods and her dad exhales loudly, "I'm worried for you, Ryujin, for multiple reasons. When you act recklessly like this, you might not be lucky and actually make someone mad that can hurt you badly or kill you. Minho didn't touch you since he knew you're my daughter. What if you get in trouble outside of this building and you end up in the hospital? I don't want to live through that again. I was so scared when I got a call from the hospital before, don't do it again, please" He begs.

"Also, some day, this company will be yours and Yuna's. It won't be good when they think their boss has anger issues. You're a smart girl, Ryu. Just don't act so reckless" he says patting his daughter's back.

"Thanks dad. For always trying to understand me. I'll try to control myself better" she says.

Her father smiles at her, "That's all I ask. You may go now."

Ryujin gets up right away and runs back to the practice room where she left Yeji. At this point, everyone has already heard what happened and people are staring at Ryujin as she runs by. The girl didn't care, she just wanted to see Yeji to make sure if she's okay and hoping that she's not mad for punching Minho.
