Save Me

Nayeon

"Unnie, this is where we parted. I gotta go to the agency first before heading home. You take care okay? Oh and by the way, you still owe me the story about that girl you met." Mina smirked. "I'm going to let you keep wondering about that. You know, to keep you to continuously guessing how my love life started." Nayeon smug. "Oh it's LOVE now huh?" If earlier Mina was only throwing smirks, now she has wide gummy smile on her face. "Damn you woman. Can you for once not like, give your full attention to what I was saying? That was off record Minari. You heard NOTHING." Nayeon knew Mina was attentive in literally everything. She feels like punching herself in the face because she slips out the L word. "You got me riled up with the introduction of this mysterious girl and you're not planning to tell me at all? Not even a bit?" Mina raised her eyebrows looking at the girl in front of her. "Nope." Nayeon enhance the P with a pop sound. "It's fine unnie. I won't force you to. You'll tell me eventually when you're ready or when you need help." Nayeon looked at Mina, pretending to gasp at the statement. "Oh I know you WILL tell me without me even asking. You're so predictable Nayeon-unnie." Mina let out a soft laugh reacting to Nayeon's expression. "Screw you. Run along now. I'm meeting my parents shortly bye Minari!" The two waved each other's goodbyes and went separate ways heading towards different vehicles leaving the airport.

Nayeon headed to her dad's favorite restaurant to have lunch since her old folk texted her right after she landed. It's not an unusual occasion for Nayeon meeting her parents. She would occasionally had lunch or dinner with them, keeping them updated with her current being. "Hi dad." Nayeon greeted the older Im. "Where's mom?" Nayeon took the opposite sit from her dad with a questioning look. "She's meeting her friends. Your mom said sorry and she missed you. Just us two for today. How's your trip sweetheart?" The older Im asked. "Ahh I see. It was good." Nayeon reacted while going through the menu. "How's Seoyeon?" The question got Nayeon stopped from scanning the menu. She looked up seeing her dad's face was relaxed enough with the attempt of talking about her sister. "She's fine. The boys were fine too." Nayeon answered calmly. "Good. That's good to hear." Nayeon shut the menu closed and sighed. "Dad, if you missed her, call her. She's your daughter. Unnie isn't mad at you anymore, she's just upset, as much as you are to her. When will this cold war between you two stop?" Nayeon was waiting patiently for an answer. "One day you'll understand. Let's not talk about this. Let's order." The change of topic got Nayeon huff in annoyance. That's how the conversation always ends, her dad stopped midway and acted like the talks about her sister never happened. As much as Nayeon wanted to be pushy to makes things better between the two of her love ones, she's well aware not to provoke her dad with more questions if he's the one who put a stop to every conversation. The two Im had their lunch quietly, only exchanging a few questions to lighten up the air between them.

"So, is there something you wanted to tell me? You usually will wait until I got home for a couple of days at least after my trip but today seems odd. What's up?" The father and daughter finished their meals and Nayeon decided to asked her dad. "I want you to work with me. Quit flying and take over the company." Nayeon heavily sighed. "No not this again. Dad, no. I love flying! I can't sit still in the office with a bunch of crappy paperworks to look into every single day. Sana can do that happily for you, let her take over your place." Nayeon whined like a kid, stomping her foot under the table. "I know she can manage the company but she's my niece. You're MY daughter. The legacy runs through my direct heiress, not my niece. Besides, you flown enough sweetheart, you can't keep on flying until you're old." Mr. Im bluntly stated. "Dad, you're exaggerating. I've only been a stewardess for three years. I still can fly like ten more years until they decided that I'm old with saggy skin and not fit anymore of being one." Mr. Im laugh a little hearing what her daughter just said. "You and your many answers aishhh. Sweetheart, just think about it okay?" Nayeon just nodded with a soft hum. Both Ims had a few more small talk and decided to went off when Nayeon excuse herself first to went home mentioning she was tired but the truth was she wasn't all that tired. Nayeon just wanted an off time from sitting in one table with her dad considering there would be a potential argument between the two of them the longer they stay there.

Nayeon was pacing back and forth in her living room, hesitating on whether or not to reach Jeongyeon since she's dying to meet the girl. "Nayeon stop. You're giving me a headache. Sit." Sana grab Nayeon's arm and force the girl to sit beside her. "You asked me to come here and here I am so tell me who's the unfortunate girl?" Nayeon stand on her feet again with her mouth agape. "Why is everybody assumed every girl I met was unfortunate!? I can't believe you girls." Nayeon crossed her arms looking down at Sana. "Hahaha I'm afraid it's either Seoyeon unnie or Mina synchronized with my mind? Nayeon, I have known you my entire life. There's nothing about you that I can't figure. What's her name?" Sana asked. "Jeongyeon." Nayeon totally forgot about her annoyance once Jeongyeon's name escaped from her lips. "Oh my god Sana. She's so charmingly sweet. Her soft smile was attractive enough to take my breath away. I-" Nayeon was cut off short when Sana interrupted. "Does this Jeongyeon happens to have Yoo as her surname? As in Y-O-O. Yoo Jeongyeon you mean?" Sana laughed at Nayeon's expression. "How did you know?" Nayeon asked, still look surprised. "Oh honey. Google her name right now. You'll know who are we talking about." Nayeon scrolled through her phone and did what she was asked to. With all the information surfaced and every links directed to an article about the girl she's been crushing on hard on that time, Nayeon couldn't believe her eyes. "Done drooling? She's hot. We've been knew." Sana teased. "Holy shit Sana. She told me she's just a typical blue collar employee! and what do you mean by 'we' Minatozaki?" Nayeon still couldn't stop scrolling but her eyes surely moved towards where Sana was seated. "What I meant by WE is the people in the business world. Her dad is one of the most influential businessman in this country Nayeon. Everybody wanted to have a connection with the Yoos. Even your dad knew them. This one," Sana pointing towards Nayeon's phone with Jeongyeon picture on some front page of a magazine, "showed up as the heiress just few years back. Jeongyeon might be new in the business field but her aura and charms attracts both businessmen and businesswomen out there, not only on business purposes but some even proposing to tie the knot with her as well. I mean, damn." Sana explained. "Wow you seems to know a lot about her huh?" Nayeon threw a sidelong glance towards her cousin. "Before you assume anything cous, I'm not one of those who's hooked by her charms. She's just popular among the top boards. Girl's a hottie yes, but she's not my type." Nayeon still trying to process everything that Sana said. "Sooo you're telling me that THE Yoo Jeongyeon is the girl who makes you this bothered? How in the world did you two happened?" Sana questioned the other girl. "Long story short, we bumped into each other and we had a couple of date in Greece. And now I think I like her, like a LOT. Sana help me!" Sana almost burst out laughing seeing Nayeon's face. "That's indeed too short to feed my curiosity but anyway, easy there. Call her. Asked her to meet you. Don't rush things out. Flirt a bit but not too obvious. If the feelings mutual, then it's a win for you. Now go because I'm leaving as well to see my girlfriend." Sana shoo Nayeon out from the house. "Thanks cousin! I'll keep you updated! Send my regards to Tzuyu. Bye!" Nayeon's clumsy self got her foot caught in the rug and almost stumbled. Sana just watched her cousin from behind and shake her head on the sight. "Clumsy-ass girl." She murmured to herself.
