Flowers and fears

Captured in Her Eyes

“That was his fiancée?” Jessie said “Yes, she is jealous. You know the boss is a playboy. I bet you two were something.” Jo-soo said “You talk a lot without knowledge.” She said “Hey, we have a schedule. Where is your boss?” The model’s manger yelled “I’ll call him.” Jo-soo said “What is wrong?” she asked “They’re rushing us. They have a schedule and so do we. What can I do?” Jo-soo complained. “This is, all, my fault. Give me this camera.” She said taking off her jacket. “Do you speak English?” she said to the model who looked confused for a moment “You translate. Now, let’s get to work.” She said “I know English.” The model said “Whatever, Ready?” she shouted. Jessie took photos quickly. “She is better than him.” Jo-soo whispered. Jessie smiled “Hey, I didn’t catch your name.” “It’s Jo-soo.” “Good job everyone. We finished 30 minutes early.” She said “Oh yeah” he said “I’ll go check if my latte is ready.” Jessie said in a sad tone “She feels guilty. She deserves it.” Jo-soo said.

Jessie kneeled near the flowers “You only been here for a few hours and you already caused problems. May be you should leave this country and sail into the unknown.” She sighed and closed her eyes to prevent her tears from falling. “So, you’re the girl that sent our Hana running like she’s just seen a ghost.” A voice came from behind her “Your English is not bad. But who are you?” She said standing up “I’m Lee Sun-ho, Joon’s friend.” He said “Oh, I remember you from Joony’s photos. You’re a doctor, right?” She said “Yes, but you didn’t tell me your name.” “I’m Jessie.” She said then she kneeled and touched a white flower. “Are you in the habit of talking to flowers?” Sun-ho asked “At least I’m talking to a living creature not a wall. But no, I’m not in the habit of talking to them. I just love flowers.” She said. She moved her hand over the flower and a bee flew from one of them. Jessie screamed. She wrapped her arms around Sun-ho hiding her face in his chest. Sun-ho froze. “Is it gone?” she said in a voice filled with fear. He swallowed loudly then he said “Yes, it’s gone.” She pulled away with her hands on her heart “I thought I was going to die. Oh my God, these things scare the hell out of me.” she said then she looked at Sun-ho. His eyes were wide and he was in a complete shock. “Oh no, not again, I think I should go now.” She said taking her jacket and walking away.

“Hey Jessie, wait.” He said grabbing her wrist “Don’t go. It is okay, you were scared. You didn’t mean it. Come on, let’s drink something.” He said smiling “I’m really sorry. It’s just that these insects terrify me.” she said sitting down “It’s okay. We all have our fears. What do you want to drink?” he said “I ordered a couple hours ago and I have no idea what to ask or say.” She said. In-sung came at that moment with her order. “Can you tell him that I’m sorry? I didn’t mean to be rude this morning.” She said “You can tell me yourself.” In-sung said “You speak English. I didn’t know that. I just wanted to apologize for my behavior this morning.” She said “It’s okay at least you’re not like someone.” He said and he walked away “I don’t know Korean so; I say what I want without giving people the chance to talk. I hate admitting that I don’t know something.” She said. Sun-ho smiled “I think you need a teacher.” She nodded. He looked like he was about to say something but he stopped and stared at the door. He seemed lost in another world and his eyes seemed distant. She took her camera and photographed him. He looked at her “That was good.” She said looking at photos on the camera’s screen then she looked at the door. Joon and Hana came in holding hands and laughing. She turned to look at Sun-ho and his eyes were distant again. “I’ll go now. We’ll talk later. Fix what you did.” He said. She gave him a knowing look and she nodded. “Poor thing” she whispered as he walked away.

 

Joon and Hana sat on the table with her. “I’m really sorry for earlier.” Jessie said “It’s okay. I understand.” Hana said “I’ll formally introduce you guys.” Joon said standing up. “Hana, this is JJ my friend and little sis from New York. JJ this is Hana my fiancée.” Joon said with a wide smile “It’s good to see you JJ.” Hana said “It’s Jessie please and I’m honored to meet you. You’re really beautiful.” Jessie said “Why can’t she call you JJ?” Joon asked “Because I hate that name.” Jessie said “Why didn’t you tell me?” “It’s not like you’re going to stop saying it if you know, Joony.” “You hate to be called Joony.” Hana said “Tell her, please.” Joon said “I already know.” Jessie said “You’re evil.” Joon said “wait till I show you the real evil. Hana, I can’t wait to tell you all the thing I know about Joony. There are a whole lot of embracing stories. We can go shopping together too. I’ll tell you the style that he likes. We should have dinner sometime.” Jessie said “Of course, what about today, if you’re not tired.” Hana said. Joon grinned his teeth “She will make my life a living hell.” He whispered to himself.

Chapter 1: Nice story but I think I'd actually prefer Sunho with Hana xD even though I finished the drama and Hana ended up with Joon, I still ship them xD
