Ye Jun
I groaned and rolled onto my stomach kicking my feet like a kid because she was right and it made feel like shit but also warm because she still sounded like my Titi. "Okay okay I suck I admit it I’m a terrible friend I should’ve called the second Mom said yes to the marriage but everything moved so fast and then Si-woo showed up and he’s... god Titi he’s this ice cold devil guy who works in the company i work in and he’s my stepbrother now and last night he wait no I can’t even say it over the phone but I need your help because I’m gonna make him pay for treating like trash and I..."
She gasped loud and dramatic then burst out laughing again. "Wait wait wait the hot ice cold devil Choi Si-woo? Like the Choi Si-woo that every model in the industry whispers about? The one who designs those killer dresses and never smiles and has girls and guys throwing themselves at him but he just looks through them like they’re invisible? That Si-woo is your stepbrother now? Oh my god Ye-jun you lucky bitch! Or wait unlucky because he sounds terrifying. The whole industry calls him the ice cold devil behind his back because he’s gorgeous but he’ll freeze you with one look if you ss up a fitting. How did you not tell this sooner? I would’ve flown back just to see the drama!"
I sat up fast pressing the phone harder to my ear because she was talking so fast and I was trying to keep up but also laughing because only Titi could make this sound like the best gossip ever. "Yes that Si-woo, Titi and he’s living here now apparently he’s evil, he literally...he drugged , well not like bad but he did sothing and we... stuff happened and then he ignored all day like I was nothing and this morning he grabbed in the kitchen and growled he’d bend over the counter but then stord off so now I’m pissed and I went to the market and bought lingerie because I’m gonna wear it and make him snap and beg and then maybe I’ll walk away and leave him broken like he left but I feel so stupid and ashad buying it and..."
Titi squealed so loud I yanked the phone away from my ear like it was on fire. "What?! Lingerie? You? Ye-jun, the sa guy who used to hide in those giant baggy hoodies all through high school like you were allergic to attention? Oh honey, I’m literally dying over here!" She was laughing so hard I could hear her slapping her knee or sothing. "But yes! Yes yes yes! Do it! Go full slut mode and make that hot ice cold devil sweat buckets!"
I tried to talk but she just kept going, voice all excited and fast like she hadn’t shut up in years. "The whole industry knows him too well, Ye-jun. Choi Si-woo? That man’s a genius with fabric, designs dresses that make models cry happy tears, but zero patience. Zero! One wrong stitch and he’s glaring like he wants to murder you. And if he’s ignoring you right now after whatever nasty hot thing you two did last night? Girl, please. He’s already hooked. Deep down he’s obsessed, he just hates admitting it because his ego’s the size of a stadium. Trust , I’ve heard the stories from shoots. Models try to flirt, he freezes them out so cold they go ho and eat ice cream in the dark."
I snorted, trying to keep my voice down so Si-woo wouldn’t hear from upstairs. "Titi, you’re making him sound like so evil fashion king. But yeah, he grabbed this morning in the kitchen, said he’d bend over the counter, then just stord off like nothing happened. I’m so mad I could scream, but also... I want him to lose it. Like really lose it. So I bought so stuff at the market today and I feel so stupid and ashad carrying it ho."
She gasped again, dramatic as always. "You already bought so?! Oh my god, my baby grew up! But listen, forget that cheap market crap. I have the perfect thing sitting in my closet right now. I bought this new black lace set last month in Seoul for a shoot: super delicate, tiny straps, sheer in all the right places, little bows everywhere. It was too small on , pinched my hips like crazy, but I kept it anyway because it was too pretty to return. And Ye-jun, with your body? Those long legs? It’s gonna look insane on you. Like, criminal. He won’t know what hit him."
I felt my face heat up again but I was grinning like an idiot. "You’re serious? You’d give it to ?"
"Give? Honey, I’m throwing it at you! I’ll drop it off tomorrow morning or you co grab it tonight, I don’t care which. Just text when you’re ready. But you have to promise one thing." Her voice dropped low and teasing. "After you wear it for him? Send. . Pictures. Every angle. I need to know if the ice cold devil finally lts into a puddle or if he explodes and pins you to the wall again. I’m living for this drama. Don’t you dare leave out!"
I laughed, shaking my head even though she couldn’t see . "You’re the worst best friend ever. And the best. Fine, deal. I’ll send pics. But if he kills , it’s your fault."
She cackled. "Worth it. Now go plot, you little nace. I love you!
I was laughing so hard now tears were in my eyes but they weren’t all happy because underneath it I still felt that sharp hurt from how Si-woo pushed away this morning and how my own family barely noticed in the kitchen and talking to Titi made realize how much I missed having soone on my side who actually saw . "Titi you’re the best I love you so much even when you yell at and yeah I’m in a hurry because he’s upstairs right now probably sketching more genius dresses and ignoring but I had to call you because I can’t do this alone and hearing you call him the hot ice cold devil makes feel less crazy for wanting to destroy him but also keep him I don’t know my head’s a ss but thank you for the lingerie I can’t wait to use it against Si-woo."
She kept going not letting hang up yet laughing and teasing and telling more stories about models who tried to flirt with him and got shut down so cold they cried in the bathroom and I listened even though I was glancing at the clock because yeah I had a man to seduce but she was my Titi and I loved her and I wasn’t cutting her off no matter how fast my heart was racing thinking about slipping into that lace later and watching Si-woo finally break.
