NARRATOR’S POV

 

 

The next morning you woke up from your bed.

You started to remember the things from last night.

“Never remembered coming back to the room with my own legs” You muttered silently.

The last thing you remembered was watching a midnight movie with Jae Joong inside the living room while you two snuggled with each other inside a single blanket.

“How did the movie ends?” You asked yourself.

You think hard, but you couldn’t remember a single thing.

I must’ve passed out in the middle of the movie.

You look to the bedside to find him gone.

“He went?” You muttered.

You brushed your teeth and washed your face.

You went out of the room to learn that he had gone for an early meeting, again.

You went back into your room and were about to take a shower when you heard someone barged into your doors.

“The hell…?” You muttered.

Within seconds you were swept into an agonizing panda hug ceremony.

“You…guys…sure…are…worried…” I said, while trying to catch my breath.

They nodded.

“Are you okay? Lay said you were crying yesterday, old gramps must’ve reprimanded you a lot huh? What did the bastard said? Did his friend called you?” They asked, worries are fully pasted on their faces.

“Okay…Let me answer your worries. Yes, I am okay, and yes, I did cried yesterday, old gramps was furious, and the bastard was as furious, and no, his friend did not called me.”

“The bastard and his friend are the same.” Joo Won said while rolling his eyes.

“He’s a good guy. Maybe he hasn’t heard it yet.”

“Why don’t you try calling him?”

“I’m scared that he would be more angry at me.” You said with a pout.

“Who? Old gramps?”

“No, the jerk…” I muttered.

“Why does he even matter here noona?”

“I don’t know…I just don’t want him to think that I have a special relationship with his friend. If I call his friend, then, it’ll make me look even worse, like we actually have something going on ” You said truthfully.

Joo Won rolled his eyes.

“I really don’t know what to do with you.”

“Gramps said not to come to the office until things died down.”

“Why? It’ll make me look like I’m actually wrong.”

“He said that that’s your punishment”

You gave them a look.

You quickly fish your phone out and call your grandfather.

“He won’t even pick up my phone” You muttered.

“Told ya”

You pouted.

“Just think of this as a break”

You sighed while making a duck face.

“Fine, you two better go now” You muttered, sulking.

“Noona~~” Tao whined with his aegyo.

You gave him a look.

“Himne~” He cheered happily.

You nodded.

“Go. You two need to go to work right?”

They nodded and hugged me.

“Oh, Joo Wonah, today there’ll be some factory guys coming to the office today, to give an answer whether they want to cooperate with us or not. If they want to cooperate then study their employee’s works and screen them out. If they don’t, then we’ll just have to do it the hard way.”

He nodded.

“Arrasso.” He smiled.

I grinned.

“Bye noona”

“Bye pandas” She waved as she sent them out of her house.

 

 

YOUR POV

 

I went back to my room and took out my laptop.

“What should I do today?” You muttered.

Shopping will only worsened my image. So will hanging out with my friends.

I groaned.

Stupid medias.

I lazily lay around the sofa while surfing the web.

Oh, right, I need to make a surprise for him right?

What should I do?

Should I bring him lunch?

Should I buy him something?

I should give something from my heart right.

Something that values more than its monetary value.

I look through google to find some more ideas.

None of them look good to me.

I need something special.

Something different.

Something he’ll remember.

A real surprise.

I really want to apologize sincerely to him, something from the bottom of my heart just keeps on pushing me to do it sincerely.

I was touched by his actions after the meeting. I never knew he could be that…gentle.

And I felt really sorry for him, although really, there’s nothing going on between Chang Min oppa and I…

A cake…

That’s it!!

A cake!!

I shall make a sorry cake for him!!

I hurriedly ran down the stairs and straight to the clean kitchen with a big grin plastered on my face.

What cake should I bake for him?

Then it hit me, I can’t bake.

I can cook…but I can’t bake.

My shoulders flattened immediately.

I ran back up to search for some recipe.

What will he like?

Chocolate cake?

Chocolate devil cake?

Yeah, I think that’ll do.

He likes the chocolate ice cream I gave him too.

I nodded to myself.

I quickly look up some chocolate devil cake recipe in the web.

I took my ipad and went out for some grocery shopping.

I started to look for the ingredients needed for the cake.

I realize the odd stare people are giving me.

I look down at myself.

No wonder.

I tied my hair into a messy bun while I didn’t wear any makeup.

I didn’t even cover my face with neither a sunglasses nor a hat.

I wore a simple loose white tee and a terry shorts which I haven’t change since last night…

God…I’m in such a mess.

I grunted.

Well…sorry for all of you who are giving me weird looks, I don’t care.

I continue to walk down the aisle, looking for a few more remaining missing ingredients.

While I was walking, the seaweeds caught my attention. I took a pack of it and took several other ingredients to make a perfect kimbabs. I should feed him some food.

I thought as I nodded to myself with a foolish grin plastered on my face.

I paid for my groceries and quickly went back to my car where the medias ambushed me.

These people are seriously quick.

I hugged my groceries and pushed my way back to the car.

And I’m not even wearing any makeups.

This is so going to be a big news first thing tomorrow in the morning. Or maybe even by this afternoon.

I put the groceries in the passenger’s seat and quickly move away from the medias to my way home.

I tiredly walked into the house with scratches all over my body, again.

Some of them will turn into bruises as well…

I sighed and went into the kitchen to “bake” a cake.

I started to take the stuff out of the bag when I remembered his words.

“So, will you mind telling me where, who, what, why and when you’re meeting anyone from now on?”

Right…I need to make a call.

I quickly dialed his number and he picked it up after a while.

“Hey” He said.

“Hey…” I said with a light chuckle.

“Something happened huh?” He asked.

My eyes bulged out.

“How did you know?” I asked.

“Did they put it up on the net already?”

“Huh? I didn’t see anything in particular…yet. So tell me, what did you do this time round?” He asked in a counselor-like tone.

“Ugh…the paparazzi are the one who did it…”

“Care to elaborate your point?” He asked.

You chuckled awkwardly. “You see…I was somewhat too excited to go on a grocery shopping just now, where the medias ambushed me.”

“Whom did you go with?” He asked with a sigh.

“Myself? But the problem is not with who was I with…but rather what I went with…” You said with a diminishing voice.

“Don’t tell me you went there ” He said teasingly.

“Not that…excited. I didn’t change my outfit. I wore whatever I wore last night.”

“No extra covering?” He asked.

“Nope…”

He sighed.

You let out an awkward chuckle.

“Should I….hire a nanny for you…?” He asked.

“Why would you…?” I asked back, not getting his point.

He sighed.

“I guess it won’t be that much of a big deal…” He said with a sigh.

“Anyway, do you have any lunch appointment?” I asked.

“Nope, I’m free for lunch.”
“Then…can I barged into your office right?” I asked with a grin while my heart is racing at least a hundred times faster.

“Er…sure…”

I immediately sighed in relief.

“Wait…” My heart dropped.

“You’re not at work?” He asked.

My spirits lit up once again.

“Nope, I’m currently on my punishment” You said, sulking.

He chuckled.

“Just come here during lunch” He said.

“Eung, arrasso, see you then” I said.

I let out a big sigh in relief while my world seems to be all flowery and pink.

I felt all girly and happy inside, while unconsciously the edges of my lips are pulled upwards.

Jerk, what are you doing to me? I thought, still with the same foolish grin I had in the supermarket earlier.

I looked at the time, it’s ten thirty already.

“” I muttered.

I quickly cook some rice.

I fried some eggs, and ham.

I cut them into stripes.

After that I stir fried some spinach and put it aside as well.

I cut the pickled radish into a similar dimension as the eggs and hams.

I scooped out some hot rice from the rice cooker.

“Ah, , it’s hot” You cursed as you blow your finger that came into contact with the hot metal.

I put the rice on top of the seaweed and even the rice out.

After that I placed the toppings together with a good squeeze of mayonnaise.

I rolled them up and cut them into small bitable even pieces.

I made a few more rolls of cut kimbabs and placed all of them into a box.

I looked at the time, , it passed eleven already.

I hurriedly took a shower and wore some light makeup.

I don’t need the intimidating look for today.

I wore a simple black Moschino dress and paired it with an aqua blue Louis Vuitton wedge.

I took my Black croco Hermes Birkin and went out with my white Porsche.

And once again, the reporters are ambushing me.

I quickly walked passed through them with the help of the security guards.

I went to his office and waits for him there.

Now that I see it, his office is actually quiet spacious and manly.

Sleek jet-black furniture, beige colored floorings with a fury rag underneath the transparent coffee table.

I walked around his office and saw his picture frames.

Most of them were his pictures with his friends.

A childhood family picture and our wedding picture.

I can only deduce one thing from this set of pictures, this guy is really careful.

I should learn that from him, I thought.

“You’re here?” He said bobbing his head into his own office, popping my bubbles of conclusions and hypothesis

“Eung” I said with a grin.

“Sit” He said as he walks in to his own office.

“Should we go out and eat or…”

“Actually…I made lunch…” I said awkwardly.

“You did?”

I nodded.

I took out the box from my bag.

“Jjan~!” I said as I open the box of kimbab.

“Wua…you actually made this?” He asked.

I nodded proudly.

“Ey…You asked the chefs to make this for me right?”

“YA!! I did not. I spent my whole morning to make this for you.”
He chuckled.

“I’m supposed to feel touched right now right?” He asked.

 

JAEJOONG’S POV

 

She inched closer.
“Are you?” She asked with huge eyes, her face only several centimeters away from mine.

Her sudden confrontation took me by surprise.

I blinked several times while my heartbeat increases.

I cleared my throat and swallowed hard.

“Yeah…” I said with a chuckle.

She grins innocently.

“Good” She said and pulls away.

I took a bite of her kimbab and it really tastes good.

“How is it?” She asked, again with those huge round eyes.

I stayed silent this time, looking straight into her eyes.

She frowned.

“Seems that you doesn’t like it huh?”

I looked at her, surprised, I guess I’ve thought for too long.

“Oh? Ani…it’s not like that…It really tastes good.” I said truthfully.

“Really?” Her face lit up again.

I chuckled.

This is the real baby Hwang In Hee.

Dragon lady my .

You call this a dragon lady?

Then I don’t know what a baby is like.

I nodded.

She grins and sighed in relief.

“I really thought you don’t like it back then…” She muttered.

I laughed and ruffled her hair.

“You really like my hair huh?” She asked.

I chuckled. “Yea..”

She combed her hair back into position and took a bite of the kimbab as well.
“Ah…my kimbab always tastes like heaven” She said dreamily.

I shook my head and fed her another piece.

“You sure are full of yourself huh?”

“What? It really taste good right?”

“I regret I said that…”
“Well, sorry for you Mister, I can’t give your words back” She said happily.

“Anyway, this kimbab serves as my proposal”

“This is not the surprise?” I asked, taken aback by her.

“Nope, I have another surprise for you”

You coming here is a surprise, you cooking lunch for me is a bigger surprise, and now you’re having a bigger surprise for me? This girl really surprises me in a lot of ways.

“What proposal?” I asked, now interested.

“Play with me for a week” She said with a huge grin.

“I have work though” I said.

“I won’t interrupt you with your work, but play with me during lunch, mornings and afternoon. I’m really bored at home” She said with a pout.

“And oh, I’ll be at a cooking class when you’re at work” She said beaming proudly.

“I thought you said you cook.”
“I can only do the basic stuffs” She said.

“Just say that you’re too bored to pass the week doing nothing at home”

She nodded with a pout. “You sure do understand me” She said while tapping my arm.

“Depyonim, you have a meeting in five” His secretary said through the intercom.

“Oh, okay”

She pouts.

I pinched her cheeks.

“Aigoo~~~”

“I’ll be going now” She said with a duck face.

I have to laugh at that.

“Okay, see you later” I said.

She was packing the rest of the kimbabs until I stopped her.

“I’m still hungry, I’ll just bring it to my meeting.”

She gave me a look.

“You’ll eat in a meeting?”

I nod.

“O…kay...” She said with a very unsure tone.

I grinned.

“See yaa” I said as she walks out of the office.

She waved and went out.

I chuckled.

I took another piece of kimbab and chew it.

She’s really good in this.

And I love the fact that she made this for me.

She didn’t even made one for Chang Min.

I grinned.

Eat that Minnie.

I don’t know why I feel so happy about this.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m touched or if it’s because I just love the fact that she actually took the time and effort to make this for me, or I just simply love the fact that she did something better for me than when she was with Chang Min.

I walked out of my office happily with the box of kimbab in my hand and went for the meeting.
