Door#4 "Too Early for Love triangle"

"This, this, this and this." 

He threw a bunch of branded clothes onto her palms that she can barely hold them all.  "W-Why are you giving me these expensive clothes?" Celine asked, quite confused while gawking at the clothes worth more than hundred dollar bills. 

"Because you are my girlfriend," Jeonghan, the 2nd heir of HongYoonChoi, answered. "I will never allow you to wear something that will ruin my reputation. Don't worry, babe~ Spending money for my girlfriends is just a piece of cake. So can spend a lot, a lot, and a loooooot." After bragging his money, he winked seductively at her.

'I became his girlfriend? Since when?!' Celine wonder for a while, until she remembered what happened a moment ago inside the bathroom:

"Shsssh," Jeonghan hushed as soon as he entered the bathroom where she was taking a bath. 

Shocked and embarrassed at her current state, Celine soaked her naked body onto the bathtub's water. The gate of her mouth opened, preparing to shout a loud scream but was blocked when she noticed the knife on Jeonghan's hand. 

'W-What is happening?!' She panicked inwardly that she soon forgot she's completely naked. Well, life comes first before shame. 

Jeonghan silently stepped, as quiet as mouse, away from the door. His grip around his knife tightened as he waited, until the entrance opened. It created a creak sounds: 'Eiiiingggk'

Even without recognizing the intruder's face, Jeonghan was ready to throw his dagger. But by the second the intruder's face illuminated under the warm lights above, Jeonghan halted his attack.

"It's you?" Jeonghan gasped.

A tall guy entered and met his gaze with apathetic expression. He has small face, rounded no lid fierce eyes and dark red hair. He has two black piercings on both ears but it didn't degraded the his elegant appearance: brushed up red hair, black turtle neck shirt, maroon trench coat and matte black pants. 

Jeonghan loosened his shoulder, laughing and licking the corner of his lips. "Why did you enter the house without Joshua's permission? Minghao?"

Minghao. He is the HongYoonChoi's leader right hand and the most loyal servant of his master. And since he's serving Joshua's father, Jeonghan guessed he came here by his master's request to know his son's situation. 

"Greetings, young master Jeonghan," Minghao politely greeted, bowing his head. He then lifted his gaze, not to look at Jeonghan, but to glance at the naked girl inside the tub. 

Sensing the intense gaze, Celine soaked herself even more. Her face turned red that she looks like a petal of rose onto the water. 

Soon, Minghao placed his eyes back to Jeonghan and he explained, "Young Master Joshua is out for an important meeting. And so when I heard weird voices inside his house, I barged in with a knife. I hope you won't misunderstand it."

Of course, Jeonghan didn't believe it. "So you're saying you came here while knowing that Joshua was away. That's even more suspicious," he laughed sarcastically. 

Minghao kept his mouth shut for a moment. "..."

"So what are you looking inside his house?" Jeonghan walked closer. He lifted his blade then placed the tip below Minghao's chin. "What's the rat looking in the tiger's den?"

The man who stayed silent opened his lips again. "The reason why I came here is because of Young master's father request. But the reason behind it, I won't tell it to you, Jeonghan. This is between the Hong Family issues. Bragging into the issue is not good for you, a heir from the Yoon family," Minghao explained. He didn't blink, or shows any sign of fear. There are no expression on his face as he make another remarkable robotic response. That is Minghao, a man known to be like a tin man from Wizard of Oz. Killing is an easy task for him and so they thought he was born without heart and soul. 

As the situation layered with heavy intense atmosphere, Celine looked alternately between the two, who were shooting lasers from their eyes. 'They seemed so close a moment ago. But now, why do they look like they will soon kill each other?!' Celine thought, doing her very best to hold her breath.

 

But soon when Jeonghan's laughter resonated, Celine breathed finally. 

He pulled his knife away and teased, "You deserve a gold medal for your loyalty."

The two questions were answered so far. However there is still a matter Minghao could not overlook. 'Who is the girl in the bathtub?' Minghao asked to himself while setting his eyes back to Celine; and when he did, the anxiousness began to pound inside her chest again. Louder. Louder. 

"This girl is my 24th girlfriend for this month. Surprise!" Jeonghan answered the unheard question, arms wide opened.

'G-Girlfriend?!' Celine gasped inwardly. 'And what?! 24th?!'

"Why did youngmaster Jeonghan brought his girlfriend here? Shouldn't you took her in your own house?" Minghao pointed the obvious fact. 

"I enjoyed sex in different place," Jeonghan dropped, nodding his head. 

As much as Celine wanted to protest, she could not. How could she when both of them have knives on their hands? 

Minghao never retorted anymore but kept his stare towards Celine. 

"If you want to report this to your master, then go. Tell him I had a good sex with my girlfriend inside his son's house," Jeonghan whispered to his ear before he turned his head back to Celine. "Babe~ Hurry up and finish your bath. Let's have a date outside." He took a glance at Minghao as he mumbled, "Because this place has an annoying CCTV." Then he went out leaving Celine alone with Minghao. 

The suspense atmosphere did fade, thankfully. But being alone with Minghao, whom she didn't know, made the things awkward! Plus, she's naked for Pete's sake! 

'That bastard! Why did he left us alone?!' Celine panicked, mouth hanged loose. 'What will I do? Should I greet this person? Smile at him? Wave my hands? But I'm naked! Even just saying hello in this state is crazy!'

But to her surprise, it was Minghao who suddenly broke the silence. "Don't get soak into the water that long. You'll get sick, miss." 

It was only twelve words, yet it calmed her heart. 'Maybe, he is a kind man'- Celine persuaded herself while looking at this man's rounded eyes. 

Minghao grabbed a clean towel and placed it besides the bathtub. "If you are a girl who wants money, then you can continue dating young master Jeonghan. But if you are wishing for a true love, breaking up with him is the best choice. No, it's the one and only choice." 

Those sentence, again, made her think there's a romantic guy hiding behind his nonchalant expression. If only he's not holding a knife, he'll look perfect in her eyes. 

He had another one look at her before he bowed and went out as if nothing happened. 

After she remembered everything, Celine finally accepted his unfortunate fate. How absurd it is, when she was only lying to her highschool classmates yesterday about her fake boyfriend, but now, there are already two guys who called her their girlfriend! 

They're handsome and rich so it maybe sounds great. But no. Never! Never will she think it's a good thing when she knows that they are from HongYoonChoi!

"Hey bitc-" Jeonghan stopped and changed his last word into, "...babe~" He leaned down, closer to her face, tilting his head as he whispered, "Why are you spacing out again?" Jeonghan complained before he flicked her forehead. 

"Ah!" Celine winced in pain. She glared at Jeonghan while preventing herself from cursing. Oh just how much she wanted to punch him if only she's allowed to do so; or she has the courage for it.

"Why? You're thinking of killing me?" His breath continued to tickle her ear. "Don't steal my specialty," the next threat he dropped that won't ever be sweet even if he repeated it again in a more soothing voice. 

Alarmed by his menace, Celine excused herself and jogged towards the fitting room. It was then she found a peace of mind after a long time ago. How many times she sighed, she could not even count. Until she caught a pair of pitiful eyes in front of her. It were hers. 

"What is happening to your life? All of a sudden," she talked to the person reflecting at the mirror.

It was her dream to wear beautiful dress without worrying about the pricetags, when she could be the fairygodmother and Cinderella at the same time. In a single chant of Bibidi babidi boo, she'll turn from poor to princess and enjoyed the life before the clock strikes at 12. But while staring at the pretty dress in her hands, she knew she didn't become neither the fairy or Cinderella. 

'Thud'

The dress fell down. With downcast eyes, she whispered, "Grim reaper." 

She isn't a princess. Because in every fairy tale stories, the princess must meet her prince instead of a grim reaper. 

Celine picked it up and glance at her reflection to see her lifeless eyes. Smiling as if she feels sorry for herself, she tried the dress. It is indeed pretty, giving justice to its price. 

"Woah, it's beautiful," she gasped an over exaggerated praise. After enjoying the little moment she could adore it, she reached for the zipper at her back. She was about to zip it down when strands of her hair entangled at the zipper. 

"Ahh! Ahh! My hair...!"

She tried to fix it but the more she does, the more they get entangled together!

"Ahhh! Ouch! Ouch!" She stopped first, looking around to see if she'll find something that will help. But only a huge mirror, the used dress and hanger are at the narrow space. "W-What should I do?"

'Cut my hair.'

Yes, the idea came to her mind. But it's impossible because there's no scissor around. She's not that idiot to think she can use her bare hands to cut her hair.

"Or should I pulled my hair out of the roots?" she asked herself. 

Again, she's not an idiot. She was just desperate. 

Soon, a knock came. Tok tok tok!

[Why are you moaning inside?]

Her eyes widened at Jeonghan's lewd question! Does she needs to endure two embarrassing situations at the same time?!

"My hair just got stuck at the zipper! I'm o-o-okay!" 

No, she isn't okay. It is just a part of her thought something bad might happen if she'll ask for his help. 

[Really? Then open the door. I'll help you.]

'Please don't!' she screamed in her head, violently shaking her head. 

[I said open this damn door. Or I'll kick it at the count of three?]

'This crazy bastard!'

With teary eyes, she reached for the doorknob. 

[I will really kick it! One! Two! Th...]

'Click' The door slightly opened. Jeonghan's smirk was the first thing that welcomed her the moment she opened the door; she then realized that nothing will go in her way. 

"This boyfriend of yours will gladly help," he said before he forced his way in. 

"W-Wait!" Her resistance became futile when Jeonghan already closed the door. He stood behind her and observed the situation; including her smooth skin.

Breathing heavily, Celine watched him through the mirror. Then their eyes met. 

"So this is why you're moaning. I thought it's because of something else." His finger touched her hair, alas, making her shut her eyes and clenched her fists. She look like a scared sheep so the wolf got entertained. 

'I want to see more of her scared face,' Jeonghan laughed inwardly. 

"Here I go," he whispered on her left ear. 

As she tilted her head away from his, she chewed her lower lip. Jeonghan then pulled her hair very gently. When he finally got her hair out from the tangle, he zipped it up.

Up.

Up.

But suddenly, he zipped it again, down, down and down. 

"H-Hey! Why are you-!" Celine protested when she felt that Jeonghan was actually zipping it down on the way to her butt! 

"Shsssh. I already saw your body a moment ago. Remember? Calm down baby. I just want to give you a reward for being my girlfriend. A little bite to your nape will do." 

"N-No! Stop i...!"

"Hmmm?" he sniffed his lavender scent. By the second his lips brushed on her nape, the door opened with a BANG!

They both looked at the man who kicked the door. It was Seungcheol, the third heir of HongYoonChoi.  "Joshua is right. A wolf will definitely bite a sheep," Seungcheol sighed, gritting his teeth.

But the shameless Jeonghan smiled at her and even offered, "Oh bro. Nice timing! Want to join us?" 

As his answer, Seungcheol slammed his hand really hard it went red. 

"Ouch!"

Then Seungcheol zipped her dress before he pulled her out. 

"Hey! I was only joking!" Jeonghan complained as he followed them. 

"Then that was not a good joke," Seungcheol marked, glaring at him.

"Woah woah woah!? You're serious bro? Don't tell me you are really..." Jeonghan pointed his face while laughing. "You...You..."

Blushing, Seungcheol moved his head away after removing his grip from Celine. She was thankful for Seungcheol, but she can't express her gratitude to the person who abducted her. 

 "Excuse me, I am the detective Kim from Soro 4th division. May I ask a few things?" a familiar voice from the boutique's counter caught Celine, Jeonghan and Seungcheol's attention. 

"What is it sir?" The staff asked. 

"This car," the tall, tanned and handsome man showed a picture. "...with UTH 7062 plate number. It was usually parked in front of your boutique. Do you know who is the owner of this car?" 

UTH 7062- that is Yoon Jeonghan car's plate number. Seungcheol and Jeonghan looked at each other as they sensed the danger in that place.

"M-Mingyu," Celine mumbled, the two guys heard her and their eyes widened!

When the handsome detective turned around, he saw Celine and recognized her. How could he not when their are actually childhood bestfriends?

"Monkey!" Mingyu gasped. He dashed towards her disregarding the two guys standing by her sides. Then he hugged her with all his might. "I've been looking for you all night?! Why didn't you come home?! I almost put you on the missing list! Idiot monkey!" Mingyu looked at Celine from head to toe with a worried face. However... "Oh? Why are you wearing this kind of clothes? This is expensive," he noticed. Then, he finally noticed the two guys beside his best friend. "And who are....they?" 

'They kidnapped me. Mingyu help me. They kidnapped me! Help me escape!' Celine wanted to shout these. But no words escaped from her lips. She won't say it. She could not. She should not.

"I am the guy who has a crush on her," Seungcheol answered in serious tone. 

"Yeah. This guy is the one who has a crush on Celine, but I am Celine's boyfriend," Jeonghan added with a smile. 

Mingyu eyes widened as he yelled, "What?!"
