"Any rules?" Eunji asked over dinner.  Jiyong ordered  chinese foods. "Don't touch my wines. Don't touch my remote or my laundry? Don't touch my perfumes or you have to be out of the wash room at 8? Anything like that?"

"Nothing that I can think of. Treat this as your own house," Jiyong answered.

"Don't come yelling when something broke." Eunji said not taking her eyes off Jiyong.

"I'm not that kind of person." Jiyong smirked. "Just don't touch anything in my office."

"okay. So are we going to stay home all the time? aren't you supposed to be working? I'm going home for new years day."

"That's fine. I'm going to the US for new years day." Jiyong replied.

"Sounds good. Uh.. I'm going down the orphanage before I'll leave for Gwangju."

Jiyong just nodded. "Want some tea?" Jiyong offered after washing the dishes. He insisted doing so.

"I should film you and your lifestyle and sell it. I'll be millionaire by then."

"And then I will sue you. We'll see where will your money go," Jiyong laughed.

"Meanie." Eunji rolled her eyes. "hey, Kwon, can I bring a kitten?" Eunji thought about it out of the blue.

"Huh? Like cat? You like cats?"

Eunji nodded. "I just can't have one at home because my sister's allergy to furs. I can't keep one because I go in and out of the country."

"I have 2 cats at home. I'll ask mom to bring them."

"Really? Oh..." Eunji's voice soften and became excited? "A male or female?"

"males."

Eunji's brows raised. "Are you a...." she laughed  and didn't continue what she's supposed to say.

"What?" Jiyong stared at her. It's the first time she laughed since the accident.

"Nothing."

"Nothing? You suddenly burst laughing. What is it?"

"It's nothing. Uh...By the way, I didn't see my laptop at home. Is still at YG?" Eunji changed the topic.

"Oh... It's in my studio. I'll bring it home tomorrow."

"Are you telling me I'm staying home alone tomorrow?"

"Hmmm.. I'll just go down to YG to get your laptop or do you want to come to YG? Seungri has been bugging me. He wanted to see you."

"Oh.. that kid. Get him to bring the laptop."

"You want to spend the whole day with me?" Jiyong teased.

"I don't want to be alone on my first day on a stranger's house."

"Stranger? Ya, Jung Eunji. Am I still a stranger to you?" Jiyong regretted he .

"We're not friends are we?" Eunji chuckled.

"We're supposed to be dating." Jiyong corrected.

"Your illusion. I don't remember agreeing with that." Eunji shot back.

"Our family knows about it. We.."

"That I am dying to know how on earth we end up dating?" Eunji put down her cup and looked at Jiyong straight in the eye.

"Hmmm....That..You now.." Jiyong stammered.

"That, I deserve to know. If I had a memory gap, then I need to know."

"Eunji-ah..." Jiyong got up and knelt infront of Eunji.

"Ya Kwon.."

"I love you." he confessed.

Eunji was stunned to react. Sure Jiyong confessed  that he liked her but confessing about loving her. "Kw.. Kwon.. Kwon Jiyong.." she doesn't know what to say.

"You may think I'm not serious but I am." Jiyong was facing her. Watching her.

"Did I have a memory gap then?" she asked again.

"No. Your aunt was the one who told your sister that we are dating. When Ha Eun noona asked me, I told her the story and will take responsibility. I want to make up with you. Take care of you."

Eunji was  still expressionless. She does not know how to react with Jiyong's confession. "You know I hate you."

Jiyong nodded. "But Eunji-ah... Can you give me a chance?"

"Do I have a choice? You manipulated everything."

"Eunji-ah..."

"I'm going to bed." she got up and left Jiyong alone in the living room.

Eunji opened her eyes and almost fell off the bed with the sight that greeted her. Jiyong was beside her. Staring at her.

"You're creeping me," Eunji pulled the covers and covered herself back.

"You're beautiful while sleeping." Jiyong smiled.

"Kwon, stop it or I will.."

Jiyong rolled and had his back on the bed.

"Are you doing these because you knew I can't get mad," Eunji was controlling herself.

"No. It's the truth. You're beautiful." Jiyong still didn't move from his position.
"Can I sleep more...Uh...What time is it?"
Jiyong grabbed his phone from the  bedside table. "7:30"
"Oh...I'm sleeping in."
"Seungri's asking if he can come over." Jiyong was reading his text messages.
Eunji bolted and faced Jiyong. "Oh... finally a good news. Let him come and pick some breakfast"
"Seungri coming here is a good news? How is that?" Jiyong didn't like Eunji's reaction when Seungri's name was mentioned.
"He does understands me. " Eunji asnwered.
"And I don't?" Jiyong pouted.
"Well,..." Eunji tried to find an answer.
"Hmmmm... any particulars for breakfast?" Jiyong didn't let Eunji finish her answer. He  was afraid he won't like her answer.
"Uh... I want the caramel macchiato from starbucks and bagel with a lot of cream cheese."
Jiyong stared at her with open mouth.

"What? It's a proper breakfast." Eunji said. "Unless you're going to make some proper breakfast."

Jiyong just shrugged. "He'll probably be here around 10."

"Great I'll sleep for another hour. Wake me up at 9."

"Who says I'm getting up." Jiyong got back under the covers.

"Oh.. How did your members react when you told them we're dating?" Eunji asked.

"Seungri didn't let me off until he got the whole story. I told them, it's been a while. Well, after I broke up with Kiko though. Seungri was ready to kill me until I told them I broke up with Kiko early last month."

Eunji just nodded. "How am I supposed to act infront of them? Like I am so inlove? Ughh.." Eunji hugged herself. "My head's going to burst just by thinking of it.

"Seungri will kill me once he finds out that I forced you to.."

"I love to see how he will do that," Eunji controlled her giggles.

"You're so cute giggling and all." Jiyong complimented.

"Stop the compliments will ya," Eunji pouted.

"Okay. Okay. You have an hour and a half to sleep."

Eunji turned her back on Jiyong. She turned  back to face him again. "tell me, are you this cheesy with your girlfriends? Because ..uh.... I don't find it romantic. Gosh! sleeping together. This is... Ugh.." She pulled the covers tighter up to her neck.

Jiyong went silent. He got up and left the bed room leaving Eunji wondering if she said something that upset him.

She got up as well and decided to shower. She just the tap when she realized something. She can't wash her hair by herself. Her sister always helps her wash it. She sighed and sat at the side of the tub. It's either she won't wash her hair or ask Jiyong to help her. Her mind battled for a while and then she went out.

"Ahm... Kwon..." she opened the divider. Jiyong was by the veranda smoking.

He didn't try to put the cigarette away. "Hmmm?"

"Ahmm.... I... I need help." She shyly blurted out.

"Sure." Jiyong put the stub away. "What's it?"

"I... I need to wash my hair. Uhmm... I can't do it alone."

Jiyong giggled. "You want me to help you shower?" he teased.

Eunji turned tomato red and turned away from Jiyong.

"You're so cute when embarrassed. I like it. Ha Eun noona mentioned this to me. What do you want me to do?"

"Make sure that the wounds won't get wet." Eunji answered shyly.

"and we  need to change the dressing every other day as well."

Eunji nodded.

"I'll wash your hair." Jiyong took the shower head and sprayed Eunji's hair slowly. "Oh.. you brought your own shampoo." Jiyong noticed the new bottle in the rack.

"I don't want to smell like you."

"baby, I like the smell of your shampoo."

With that, Eunji turned her head abruptly towards Jiyong and her right elbow hit the shower head. "Ouch!!" her left hand went straight to her elbow.

"Eunji-ah... Aishhh... "Jiyong threw the shower head on the tub and inspected Eunji's elbow.

"I'm.. I'm fine." Eunji stuttered.

"don't be careless hmmm."

Eunji just nodded. She stared at Jiyong who looks like have no idea why she reacted that way.

"Let's finish up. You'll get colds if you'll be here longer."

Jiyong gently and took his time washing Eunji's hair. "Do you need to blow dry it now or after you take the shower?" he asked.

"I'll do it after I take the shower. Thank you."

"Don't lock the door." Jiyong said.

"huh?" Eunji suddenly felt uneasy.

"You might pass out. You know.."

"Don't be paranoid. I am perfectly fine." Eunji pushed Jiyong out and locked the door.

"I told you not to lock the door." Jiyong shouted from outside.

"I told you I am fine." Eunji shouted back.

Eunji sat at the stool facing the mirror with the hair dryer on her hand. She don't want to ask for Jiyong's help to dry her hair. But as soon as she started the blower, Jiyong probably heard it and he came into the bedroom.

"here, let me do that." Jiyong offered.

"I can do this." Eunji rejected it.

"Just let me do it. It will be faster." Jiyong took the blower from her hand.

Eunji let still and allowed Jiyong to blow dry her hair.

"Thank you," Eunji thanked him after he put away the blower.

"That's why I'm here." Jiyong grinned. "Oh.. I should take shower as well. Seungri might pop up anytime."

"We're not going out are we?" Eunji asked.

"Hmm... "

"I'm wearing my pyjamas."

"Seriously Jung Eunji." Jiyong looked at what she's wearing. It's a pair of elmo pyjama.

"What? we're staying at home. I like comfort over fashion, okay."

Jiyong just sighed and walked away from the room.
