86 The Princess And The Ceo (2/2)

After their little conversation, Desire asked for her to turn around so that the staff could see the entirety of the dress. Since the gala was going to be the first time for the piece to be revealed, they wanted everything to be perfect.

”Does everything feel right,” Desire asked.

Yoona nodded. ”Yup. Feels snug as ever.”

Whatever measurements Minhyun had were right on the dot.

”Patricia,” Desire called.

A staff member took a step up. ”Yes Miss. Francis?”

”After she removes the dress, put it in the VIP room so she can pick it up on Sunday when the gala happens.”

”Okay, I shall.”

After the dress was removed, Yoona walked towards Desire with a smile on her face. To think that she would be the one to wear this unique piece of art was an honor.

Eunha had even told her that Desire never took orders like this. Minhyun must've pulled some special strings for this too happen.

”Thank you so much!” She said. ”I really love the dress.”

Desire's lips stayed grim and she curtly nodded. ”I owe Minhyun a favor anyways. So it's fine.”

”What kind of favor if I may ask?”

The designer let out a chuckle and for once, Yoona saw a smile on her face. ”It's personal, but let's just say that he saved me once.”

Minhyun really had multiple sides, didn't he?

”Oh really?” Yoona said. ”That's really great to hear. Minhyun sure is great huh?”

Desire pursed her red lips. ”I'd say that statement would differ person to person, but I am glad to see that you think so. I don't know him too much on a personal level, but I do know that he doesn't let many people close to him. For him to use me as a card for a single gala means that you are an important person. I was curious to see who you were but no doubt, Minhyun had picked quite the model for my dress.”

Yoona c.o.c.ked her head. There was so many pieces of information for her to take in from Desire's statement. Nonetheless, she decided to go with the flow and to keep everything positive.

”Ah thank you,” she said with a nervous smile. ”He's like a hero to me.”

”I'm sure he is.” Desire proceeded to place her hand on Yoona's shoulder. ”And to him, you must be a savior as well.”

A savior? Her? Compared to what Minhyun has done, she returned absolutely nothing. For someone who didn't know the entirety of their relations.h.i.+p, how was Desire able to conclude this?

”What do you mean?”

Desire clicked her tongue. ”When he talks, his tone is rough and he goes straight to the point. He's a rock to talk to, uninterested in anything but his business. However, when he called me for this favor, for once his tone was softer and he cared deeply about what you would wear.”

She looked straight into Yoona's eyes. ”For the first time in my life, Chae Minhyun did not sound empty. He was human.”

When Yoona arrived home she was famished. To heal her hungry stomach, she quickly went to the convenient store with Minhyun's VIP card and bought some triangular kimbap. There was no need to eat expensively considering the amount of money that stinking dress costed.

A stinking five hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars! For something she would only wear once in her life! To Minhyun, it was as if he was spending only twenty dollars but to her, it was a lifetime amount of money. Talk about feeling full.

This didn't even include the hair, makeup, shoes, and the jewelry. She wanted to cry.

In her frustrated state, the words Desire had voiced echoed in her mind.

'For the first time in my life, Chae Minhyun did not sound empty. He was human.'

A smile entered her lips. To her, Minhyun was always a kind person with so much depth, but to hear someone say this type of statement made her realize how much more important she was to him.

And it arose warmth in her chest.

After filling her stomach, she happily skipped to her room. Since there was a nice desk placed in the corner, she used this time to study. Tomorrow was going to be booked for her so it was better to get the work done now.

Time pa.s.sed by quickly while she sat at the desk. She didn't realize that the sun had disappeared, letting the moon take its stage in the sky.

Suddenly, when she was about to get ready for bed, she could hear Gloria's voice.

Minhyun was here.

As he made his way to his room, Yoona quickly cleaned up her supplies and textbooks, making everything neat before going out to see him.

Since she was too curious about the question of 'how the h.e.l.l he had her measurements!', she quickly opened the door to his room without knocking.

However, she was faced with a sight that she never dreamed of seeing.

Holy guacamole.

For someone who was busy with work, his body was a lot better than what she expected.

He was in the middle of taking off his white s.h.i.+rt. His hands quickly unb.u.t.toned the front, before removing the fabric off his shoulders to reveal his toned arms and his upper body.

The dim, yellow light s.h.i.+nes against the highs of his skin, the darkness seeping in to the cracks accentuating his muscles.

Yoona's eyes trailed down, shocked to see the [author's note: wonderful] sight in front of her.

She wasn't the materialistic type to look at men's bodies, but he was very fine. When she went out with other male colleagues to the beach, they didn't interest her one bit. Jaemin did get a response out of her, but she never felt quite as attracted. Minhyun was another story.

Once she realized how creepy she was for the last few seconds, she immediately squealed and covered her eyes.

”I'm so sorry!”

Minhyun chuckled as he completely removed the s.h.i.+rt, acting as if nothing happened. He was surprised when she came in suddenly, but showing her such a view, wasn't a problem. Perhaps arrogant, but he was quite confident in himself. For the sake of his health, he tried to maintain a work out schedule everyday when he had time.

From her expression, it didn't seem like she minded either.

Yoona's mind went blank.

”It's fine,” he said. His hands went over his belt as he began to unbuckle.

His eyes trailed to her. A smirk playing on his lips. ”I need to change. Unless you want to watch, I suggest you leave. Your choice.”

Oh s.h.i.+t yes. I mean no!

Yoona laughed nervously and quickly ran behind to the hallways. Her face red as a tomato. ”Sorry about that!”

Minhyun let out a chuckle. He had never seen her this taken aback and nervous around him before so it was quite a treat. The progress was going well.

Perhaps he should take off his s.h.i.+rt more often.

While her back was against the door, Yoona calmed herself down. Trying to get the image of his body out of her mind, she decided to ask her question. ”Hey Minhyun.”

”Yes?”

”Uh Desire said that you sent her my measurements. How did you find those?” She asked.

There was a pause. ”Oh your measurements? Eunha told me. I messaged her about it since I a.s.sumed that she would know better as someone who styled you before.”

Ah. Eunha told him? She cursed under her breathe. That sneaky b.i.t.c.h. She knew all along but played dumb didn't she?

”T-thank you then!” Yoona said before scurrying to her room.

How will she be able to face him again?
