10. Who changed my clothes

"Oh, sorry I didn't mean it," she said, she is Euna, Soohe's friend. A member of Gossip Trio.

I know she is on purpose. "It's okay. Can you move aside? I'll clean it up." I try to be patient.

"Sure. I think you were fired, it's no wonder Designer Joe kicked you in here. Turns out you betrayed your own boss," she said when several people pass down the hall.

I stop my activities and focus on her. "You're teasing me? Unfortunately your insinuation is not quite right, Euna. Look for more accurate information again and thank you for your attention to me."

Euna looks annoyed but can not says anymore. She leaves stomping her feet.

"You gossip!" I grumbled.

"Interesting," Baekmyo appears behind me with his assistant. By the way, the assistant is male. "Proved guilty but won't admit it. Even if you dodge it, the whole world knows you're guilty."

"You!" I glare at Baekmyo who is standing not far from me.

"You don't really deserve to say that to that woman. You're no longer on her level," Baekmyo said casually. "Miss Lee, you should behave yourself here. I still welcome you here and not make you sell your body to anyone else."

People who see us start whispering after hear Baekmyo's statement. I am panick, very embarrasse. I angrily lift the mop I am holding, I throw this wet right into Baekmyo's precious handsome face. The water trickle down Baekmyo's face. Several people who see us immediately flock around.

The atmosphere become very rowdy.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Baekmyo snaps furiously, his face flushes red.

Of course. Dirty water touch his smoot white that precious and expensive face. His expression looks disgusted, embarrassed and angry at the one time. There is a little guilt in me, but he deserves to get it. I won't regret it. Maybe.

Everyone who surround us whispering about me and blame me alone. Of course, who will dare to blame the person who had paid them?

So unruly!

-o0o-

There are so many things to do today. I feel so tired. Auntie Yoo has already prepared dinner at the table, she is not return to home yet because she is worried about me, who is so drunk last night.

"Auntie, who brought me home last night?" I asked.

"Young Master."

"What?" I am astonished. "Then... who changed my clothes?"

Auntie Yoo laughs instead. "What are you afraid of? You're married."

I froze, from Auntie Yoo's said I can guess who the culprit is. But if it is him, I will deny the fact that Baekmyo did it. "Auntie, don't tease me!"

Auntie Yoo smiles gently. "Don't worry, I changed it."

I nod in relief. Everything's save. I don't do anything embarrassing. Of course, I am the sweet type. When I get drunk, I will just be unconscious or even delirious.

"Yongju, hurry to my office!" The man, Baekmyo, immediately come home and told me to go to his study. He immediately go upstairs with different clothes from before I throw it use the mop earlier.

I laugh with satisfaction in my heart. Feel it!

Baekmyo doesn't intend to change his clothes first. He sits on the sofa in his study with his legs cross. I sit in front of him, silently look at him without expression. It is like if we are fighting thru our gaze.

He lets out a rough breath. "You don't mean to apologize to me?" he hissed furiously.

I know he is discussing my action threw the mop earlier. "No," I replied firmly.

"What?" He does not believe what I said. "You!" This time he points at me. "You know who brought you to your room when you nearly died of drunkenness?" he said quickly.

"You," I replied lazily.

"I even bathed you because you vomited and your body smells of alcohol. Washed your hair, scrubbed your body, took off your clothes and changed them. You think that's easy?!" he said again quickly and passionately.

"Yeah, yeah... I know." I am not interested because he is bragging. But wait. "What? W-what did you say?"

I don't hear wrong, do I? Bathe me? Change... change what?

"You don't remember at all?" Baekmyo asked.

"I... I drank soju and..."

"Want to sell your body?" Baekmyo cuts, sounding sarcastic. "One of my kidneys, my lung, my eyeballs, my bones, my flesh. You don't remember?" he said, his fingers move like he is counting.

I am stunned. Between shame and fear. Auntie Yoo lied to me, or... Baekmyo lied? Suddenly I am very nervous. "You're lying. Auntie Yoo changed my clothes. She said it herself," I avoided.

"Whatever you believe more. Then, when will I receive the compensation money? That money must be used immediately for new projects. My company could go bankrupt at this rate and my employees..."

"I'll start repaying tomorrow," I interrupted. "I hope you'll wait. There's still one more year left anyway. Ah, no. I mean one year minus five days."

Baekmyo grins with satisfaction.

I don't do it because of Baekmyo, I am just worried about the employees. My position is also an employee, even my position is very low. How do those who have to support their families? Who have to pay a rent or his family who is sick and etcetera? If because of me they are not paid, I will feel very guilty.

"Um, Baekmyo," I called doubtfully.

"Hm?"

"W~ was it really you who took me home last night?"

Baekmyo nods firmly. Looks like he is not lying and Auntie Yoo said the same thing.

"Then... bathe and... change..."

"It's me, are you satisfied?" Baekmyo cuts while he stand up and walks towards the door.

"What?"

I rush after Baekmyo and tug at his shirt, hold him back until he doesn't come out yet. "Tell me you're lying!" I insist.

Baekmyo laughs. "Hey, the person who have been honest to you why do you even expect him to lie?"

"Because... in this situation it's better to lie."

"Oh... well. I didn't do it at all. Are you satisfied? Now take your dirty hands of my clothes!"

I tighten my grip even more. "Aish, tell me the truth!" I feel frustrated.
