How It Should Have Ended Part2 (The Continuation)

Chapter 14

Woo Bin put his hands up in defeat. "Dude, she's fast." He looked thoroughly impressed. "She's like a soccer ninja."

...

"We might be in trouble," Ga Eul said, as the girls huddled around during time out. She looked over to where the boys stood. "Ji Hoo's really good. I can't stop them from scoring."

Jan Di wasn't surprised. After all, Ji Hoo did own a European soccer team. Why was he good at everything? She pursed her lips and gave a sly smile. "Leave Ji Hoo to me."

They were running after the ball, Jan Di frantically trying to steal it from Ji Hoo.

"Honey, slow down!" she called out, and Ji Hoo froze. He stood there, hands on his hips, a smile playing on the corners of his mouth.

"Honey?" He repeated.

Jan Di flashed him the cutest smile she could muster. She had never called him that before. She leaned closer to his ear. "Okay, hubby then." She stole the ball from him as he stood there, grinning like an idiot, his mind somewhere far away in dreamland.

All this happened in a span of a few seconds.

"Earth to Ji Hoo!" She heard Yi Jung call out.

Jan Di was kicking the ball on her way to Yi Jung, when out of nowhere Woo Bin stole it from her. She groaned and went back after Woo Bin. Hye Jin suddenly materialized in front of him, and she skillfully took the ball, running all the way to an alarmed-looking Yi Jung.

In the end, the girls won by one point. Hye Jin scored all their goals, of course, so she gave her a huge hug. All three of them were jumping up and down, thrilled at their victory.

"You were amazing out there!" Jan Di complimented, and Hye Jin beamed at her. "For a moment there I thought I'd have to use up a month's salary to pay for dinner." It was a close game, so it was such a relief when Hye Jin scored the winning goal.

The boys came over to shake their hands. Yi Jung looked suspiciously at Hye Jin.

"Why didn't you tell us you're a mini-Beckham?"

Hye Jin suppressed a giggle. "What fun would that be?"

Woo Bin chuckled. He gave her a pat on the shoulder. "Good game."

Jan Di saw Hye Jin blush a deep shade of red again. She smiled inwardly and decided to give the two of them some time alone together.

"Ga Eul," she whispered, so only Ga Eul could hear. "Let's detain Ji Hoo and Yi Jung in the locker room later, ok?"

...

Woo Bin and Hye Jin waited outside the arena for the rest of the gang.

"I wonder what's taking them so long," Woo Bin wondered out loud. He looked at Hye Jin, who stood there, silent as a mouse. "Did you have fun tonight?"

She nodded and then looked straight up at him. "Thank you."

Her big brown eyes were so full of life and childlike innocence that Woo Bin swallowed hard. He didn't know why being around her unnerved him so.

"I wonder what punishment you girls have in store for us." He gave her a crooked grin and stared at her, while she flushed, unused to being stared at.

Just then, two men in black suits appeared. They were huge; both over six feet tall, both wearing dark sunglasses, and their faces were hard and expressionless.

Woo Bin froze in place, uncertain of what to do. Hye Jin looked at him, then at the men, and her eyes narrowed.

She stood protectively in front of Woo Bin (all five feet of her), and put her fists up in the air. She was poised and ready to attack.
