Jaejoong groaned and ruffled his hair in frustration when he heard her door closed.. He rested his head to the chair with both palms covering his face.. He was really upset hearing those words..

Just then, the phone rings on the table.. It was not his ringtone..He curiously followed where the sound coming from and found her phone on the table.. He took it and looked at the screen.. He furrowed after seeing that it was an unknown number.. He looked at the direction where her room was..

● O ● O ● O ● O ● O ●O ● O ● O ● O ● 

Yunho waited for her to answer the phone as he took a deep breathe.. Finally after the fifth ring, he heard the other line..

"Yeobeoseyo??"

● O ● O ● O ● O ● O ●O ● O ● O ● O ●

 "Yeobeoseyo??" he frowned when he heard a male voice.. His hands started to feel cold and palms started to sweat.. His heart beats nervously and excitedly.. He dont know why but the male voice sounds very familiar to him..

"Nu..gu..seyo??" he asked and gulped.. {A/N: Nuguseyo? - Who are you?}

● O ● O ● O ● O ● O ●O ● O ● O ● O ●

 Yunho was startled by the very familiar male voice on the other line.. But he cant tell if its really him or not.. He looked at the phone screen and checked the number, it was correctly dialled.. He straightened up and gulped before he speak again..

"Is this Jasmine's phone??"

● O ● O ● O ● O ● O ●O ● O ● O ● O ●

"Yes.. It's hers..but she's in her room now.." there was a silence on the other line.. "Ahmm.. May I know who you are??"

● O ● O ● O ● O ● O ●O ● O ● O ● O ●

"Just..." he tried to search for an answer.. He cant just tell anyone his name.. "Just a friend.."

"Who is that??" Changmin mouthed as he stood up and rested his both palms on the couch to support his weight..

Yun shrugged as he listened carefully to the voice..

"Yunho.. Changmin.. We're leaving in 5 minutes.." they were startled when their manager suddenly called them once he opened the door..

"Ne.." Yun immediately ended the call..

● O ● O ● O ● O ● O ●O ● O ● O ● O ●

"Yun--" he heard the other voice but was cut off by beeps..

"Yun??" he stared at the unknown number on phone screen..

"Jaejoong-ssi.. What are you doing??" Jasmine asked as she stared at her phone on his hands..

He was startled by her and immediately handed the phone back to her..

"You just got a call from a guy.." he coldly said, not looking at her..

"Who was...??" she asked but he started walking away from her..

She lowered her head as she felt awkward around him after that kiss.. She felt guilty telling those words but she's too afraid to take the risks if she continued her feelings that she dont even know what it is..

Because he's not just an ordinary guy..

He's not just someone..

He is Kim Jaejoong..

He's a celebrity..

He's an idol..

A very famous guy..

His popularity is not just something that you can imagine..

And it was clear on her mind that she-- They cant continue living in one roof.. The lies that they said to his mom and to everyone around them will be revealed.. And she dont know why Jaejoong kissed her that night..

He likes her??

He loves her??

He wants to ??

Or just because he's lonely??

Those questions were on her mind.. She wants to know the answer but she's afraid to hear it from him..

'Mianhaeyo Jaejoong-ssi..' she sighed deeply as she stared at his back sitting on the couch.. She bit her bottom lip while staring at his back worriedly and guilty..

She turned to her phone and checked her logs.. She frowned when she saw an unknown number.. She called the number but only a voice mail was heard.. She shrugged and heaved a deep sigh.. She recieved a text message from Gina..

FROM: Gorgeous Gina-G

-END OF MESSAGE-

Her lips formed a small smile and replied to her.. She carefully walked passed the living room to her room and dressed.. She opened her cabinet to get her bag and an envelope fell on the floor.. She took it and curiously looked at it.. She opened the envelope and read the paper..

"I almost forgot about our contract.." she mumbled and heaved a deep sigh.. She put the envelope back on the cabinet..

~~~~~

"Nothing?? Wae??" Jae mumbled as he rested his head on the couch and stared at the ceiling..

He cant forget those painful words from her.. And that phone call keeps bothering him.. That voice really sounds familiar to his ear and mind.. But knowing that a guy will call her makes him irritated.. Seeing her smiling and being nice to another guy makes him annoyed.. And imagining her with another guy makes him go mad like crazy..

He heard footsteps from the stairs and looked at her on the side of his eyes..

'She's leaving again?? To where??... To meet that guy??!' he thought and stood up..

Jasmine stopped walking when he blocked her way to the door..

"Where are you going??" he asked coldly..

"To..to meet my friend.. W-wae??" she answered looking at the floor..

"WHO?? THAT GUY WHO CALLED YOU" he held her wrist tightly..

"Yah!! What's wrong with you??!" she raised her brow and looked at him.. "Do you forget that we have a contract?? We have rules!!" she pulled her hands from his grip.. "To remind you.. According to our rules..Don't entervene my private life.. I'll do my own business..You do your own business.." she said firmly..

'Oh gawd!! That contract!!' he looked away in defeat..

"If you remember now..I have to go.." she walked passed him and bumped his shoulders..

"Seriously!! What's wrong with him??!" she mumbled irritatedly after closing the door..

She carefully opened the gate and peeked outside.. She sighed in relief when no one was there.. She stepped outside and carefully closed the gate.. She took a last glance at his house before she started walking but three group of girls blocked her way..

"Yah!! Why are you coming out from oppa's house?!" one of the girl said and crossed her arm under her chest..

"What are you doing there?!" another girl raised her brow..

The other was glaring at her..

Jasmine felt so scared and shakingly stepped back looking at the ground..

"Yah!! You're not going to answer us?!" the other girl pushed her but she managed not to fall on the ground..

~~~~~

Jaejoong slightly opened the gate to peeked at Jasmine.. But to his horror, he saw her sorrounded by teenage girls, guessing that they're his fans or maybe, stalkers.. He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in anger when he saw them pushing her.. He ran to his car to get his cap, glass and scarf and quickly wore them..He was about to step outside when two guys appeared in front of her and blocked the girls from doing another bad things..

~~~~~

"Agassi..I think you misunderstand this lady.." the middle age man sternly said..

"Yah Ajussi!! Who are you?! Get out of our way!!" she glared at Jasmine who's in their backs hugging her bag and looking at the floor, trying to stop her tears threatening to fall because of fear..

"It's better for you to leave this lady..or else.. you'll get in trouble.." the young man glared at the three girls while stretching his neck..

"Huh?! Do you think we are scared of you?!" one of the girl glared back..

"And why was that girl coming from our oppa's house?!" another girl pointed and glared at her..

"Why?? Is it wrong for a housekeeper to go inside and outside of the house??" the middle age man firmly asked..

"Housekeeper??" the three girls looked at them and raised an eyebrow..

Jasmine looked at the two men confused.. The middle age man smiled at her and turned to the girls again..

"Wae?? If you dont believe us.. You can asked the owner but I guess it would be hard to see him here since he's busy all day.. Dont tell me you dont know that he have a housekeeper?? I thought fangirls are always updated about him..or should I say..sasaeng fans.." the young man sarcastically said..

The girls were taken aback and straightened up.. One of the girls cleared ..

"Its our first time seeing her--"

"Aigo.." the middle age man shook his head..

"Agassi..If you dont mind..this lady is busy working and dont try to harrass her again like you did just now..And if you harrassed her again like today.." the young man showed his phone and played a video of what they did to Jasmine.. "We'll post it on the internet and you all are.." he put his hand under his chin and faked to cut his neck like a knife..

The three girls gulped and shakingly stepped backward..

"We're watching you!!" the middle age man smirked as he glared at the girls..

"Just.. Just be sure she wont seduce our oppa!!" the girl said and started to ran away..

"Unnie!! Wait for us!!" the two girls ran and followed her..

~~~~~

Jae felt a bit relief after he saw the girls ran away.. He watched the two men with pierce eyes through the slightly opened gate..

~~~~~

The two men looked at each other and burst into laugh..

"Hyung-nim!! Did you see their faces!! They were really scared!!" the young man said between his laughs..

"Yeah!! I feel like I'm back from my old days!! Good job Sam D-ah!!" Park Myung Soo patted his shoulder..

"J-jeongmal.. gomawoyo.." she bowed and looked at them still a bit scared..

The two men stopped laughing and turned to her..

"Agassi.. Are you okay??" Simon D asked worriedly and rubbed the back of his neck..

She nodded..

~~~~~

Jae clenched his fist as he stared at the two men.. He dont care anymore if they saw or recognized him.. All he wanted was Jasmine to be safe.. He stepped outside and quickly walked towards them wearing his cap, glass, scarf, shirt, pyjama and slippers..

She gasped and eyes grew wide when he carried her bridal style infront of them.. Her arms automatically ran around his neck.. He can feel her body trembling in his arms..

"Jae--"

"I'm sorry for bothering your time.. And thank you very much for saving her with those girls.." he bowed at the two men and quickly walked back inside his house..

The two men was startled and dumpfounded then bowed back..

"Did we just saw..."

"Kim..Jae..Joong.."

● O ● O ● O ● O ● O ●O ● O ● O ● O ●

Jae opened the door with his foot and kicked the door closed.. He walked towards the living room with her in his arms..

"Jae..Jaejoong-ssi.." she looked at him worriedly and confused..

He carefully put her down and let her stood up.. He took off his cap and glass and dropped them on the floor..

"Are you okay?? Did you hurt somewhere??" he asked while examining her body with a worried face..

"I'm okay.. Why did you do--" she gasped when he suddenly hugged her tightly..

"That's a relief..I dont know what I would do if something bad happened to you.." he said between his breathes as he buried his face on her hair.. He kissed the side of her head as he closed his eyes tightly and her hair with his fingers while his other arm was secured on her waist..

She gripped his shirt on his waist.. She burried her face on his chest and eyes were open.. Her heart feels like in a roller coaster inside her chest again.. She slowly put her arms around him and hugged him back.. They stayed at that position as the silence filled the house.. Only their heartbeats can be heard..

"Are you scared??" he broke the silence and gently rubbed her back..

"A bit.." she lied.. She was scared to death that time.. She rubbed her face on his chest and slowly closed her eyes.. Somehow, she felt secure and comfortable in his arms..

"Mianhae..I was'nt able to protect you from them.." he said apologetically and kissed her head again..

"Aniyo..Its okay..You dont have to protect me..I..I dont want to be a burden to you.." she bit her bottom lip..

"You're not a burden to me!!" he firmly stated as he tilted her head up.. He searched for her eyes as he caressed her cheek with his palm.. He was drowned in her again.. He gulped and slowly bring his face closer to her..

She was numb at her position as he lessened the spaces between them while staring at her affectionately..

Just then, her phone rings inside her bag.. They were startled and she gently pushed him on his chest.. He hesitated to let her go.. She searched for her phone inside her bag and found Gina's name on the phone screen.. She turned her back to him and answered the call..

"Hey Jas!! Are you almost near here??"

"Oh.. Mianhae..something came up.." she bit her bottom lip and slowly turned to Jaejoong.. He shook his head.. She turned her back to him again.. "I..I dont think I can go today..mianhae.."

"Wae?? What happened?? Did something bad--" Gina asked worried..

"No..Its not that bad.. Dont worry.. Ahmm..I have to hang up now..I'll call you later.."

"Okay.. Take care!!"

She hanged up and slowly turned to him..

He shyly smiled to her.. Somehow, he's happy and satisfied that she wont go out with some other guy..

Her lips formed an awkward small smile and lowered her head as she looked on the floor and her fingers were playing on her phone..

"Hey.. Let's eat.. I'm hungry.." he said to broke the awkwardness between them as he rubbed the back of his neck and walked towards the kitchen..
