[CONTENTID2] Pottery

Jeongyeon smiled while walking to his car where chaeyoung was waiting for him inside

He drove off to their next destination that’s a bit far

“Sir can I ask you something?” chaeyoung asked

“Sure chae, hope it's not annoying.”

“how was your previous marriage? I am sure that you hate talking about it but I am just curious”

Jeongyeon sighed and a sad smile left his mouth, “It was formal I guess, cliché, but I loved her I can’t deny it, we met after I discharged from military service, we dated for few months then she got pregnant, I decided to marry her, my parents didn’t like her that much, then she died while giving birth to iseul”

“hmmmm that’s sad” chaeyoung stated

"hope I will see you married soon" jeongyeon joked 

"Not in a 10 years!" chayeoung added and laughed

“but sir how was your personality? I mean you were a bit different in America”

Jeongyeon sighed “since I was young, my dad thought me how to shoot and fight, I never understood why, and he gave me books about criminals, I read them all, when he died I discovered that all this time he was training me so I can replace him and that's what i am now”

“but it’s not you, you look soft”

“naah! I am an , I have to be like this so i can make the work continue and rise the Yoo family name I am able to be like this”

Chaeyoung sighed and looked at him through the mirror “himnae sir”

Jeongyeon smiled and looked through the mirror, thinking about how fast he changed into a monster, and how he was deceived by his dad’s external works… he sighed and closed his eyes while chaeyoung continued to drive.

Meanwhile momo was in mina’s room she has a head aching from both her hangover and her mental breakdown.

“you drank so much? I didn’t notice”

“Shut up I don’t remember anything and how I came here”

Momo laughed and shook her head

“Forget about me, how was your last night? I don’t see any love marks” mina teased

“Emotionless” momo resumed it in one word

“He is handsome and calm why you don’t like him” mina asked while touching her head

“appearance is not the only thing that matters, you don’t know” momo said staring out of the window, where she saw the armed bodyguards surrounding the house “You don’t know” she said in a low voice, getting a flashback when jeongyeon pulled his gun on her

“Anyway sleep and I will be with iseul” she said leaving mina in her room

She went to iseul where he was sitting on the floor playing with the gun jeongyeon bought to him

“Gun again?” she said sitting next to him

“it’s from my dad, I love it” 

She smiled and caressed his hair, hours passed, all she did was either playing with iseul, laying down or feeding iseul, it was almost 8 PM when she felt extremely bored, she decided to leave her room and walk around in the huge mansion that she swore she didn’t see the half of it yet. She was walking around on the third floor when she noticed a black door, she looked around and no one was there, boldly she opened the door

“Wow” was the only word that left as she saw a gallery hall

“But why on earth they have a gallery in their mansion??” she said looking at the nice paints that are gifted to joowon, or the small sculptures

An elephant pot sculpture caught her eyes  she touched it and smiled

“I made this by the way” Said jeongyeon as he stood behind her, she gasped and touched her chest

“You scared me!!” she yelled bit making him smile

He stood next to her, hands in his pants pockets “I always liked pottery”

“hmm” she hummed awkwardly

“Follow me” he said and walked to another door that led to somewhere

“Follow me” she mimicked

“i heard you by the way” he said while lightly laughing

He opened the door and turned the lights on just for her to see a pottery workshop, with many unfinished pots on the table or racks

“It’s been a long time since I visited here” he said looking around

He handed her a black apron, she wore it but she was struggling to tie it

“I will do it for you” he said and stood behind her, typing it while she was frozen like the sculptures around her

“SIT!” he ordered her to sit behind the pottery wheel and she compiled, not because she is obedient but because she is curious about it.

He was preparing the machine for her while she was looking at it and at him continually

“may I ask why you are teaching me this?” she asked innocently

“You will stay all your time in the mansion, you will get bored so I am teaching you a new hobby” he said, still not looking at her and focusing on the machine

“yeah about that topic, I really can’t stay at home I need to work”

He blew air from his nose, showing her how pissed he is

“I’ve been working since I was 18 I can’t stay at home!” she stated while he threw the pottery clay on the wheel making her startle

“Okay sorry” she said

He put some water on it

“Push down slightly so the mound of clay begins to flatten” he ordered, She nervously wrapped her hands around the clay and did what he said but it didn’t work at all. He stood behind her and put his hands on hers to help her but she felt more nervous, is it because she was afraid of him? She didn’t know

“Push your thumbs into the center of the clay and make a hole” he said pushing her fingers as he said, his chin was next her temple, with his arms on her head sides his hands were bigger than her yet his touches were so soft on hers

He saw her smiling while looking at the clay

“do you like it?” he asked and looked at her

“nae it makes you feel calm” she said and looked up at her right just to get welcomed by him staring at her ( *Screams* )

He faked a cough as he stood up unaware at the clay he missed with his hands

He turned off the machine and wiped his hands “You- You can enter here whenever you want, just make sure to turn the lights off before you leave”

He took off his apron and left in a rush while she was still sitting in her place, blushing, she yelped and continued to try to make at least a plate but she failed miserably, she took off her apron and turned off the lights as he said.

She went to iseul’s room where he was already sleeping, she took a deep breath before she opened their bedroom’s door

Jeongyeon was sitting back on the bed, reading a book

“did you saw iseul?” she asked and he looked at her coldly, he shook his head

She sighed out of frustra
