06 | A confession

 

 

2 hours later -- Yoona saw Seohyun opening her eyes. The key to her penthouse is truly useful, as she find it hard to wake girl up. How fast she fall asleep, is how long she sleeps. She just know she sleep a lot. And as much as she wanted to leave the place, she can not. She received emails from the Chairman, which listed the task they're about to do in the coming days. It was a difficult task for her though -- because she's like a nanny at the same time for helping the girl cleaning on her body. Good thing and Hyo was there to help her take that stolen shirt and pants off of her and put on a pajama on the girl.

 

"Had  a good dream, Boss?" she greeted, brightly.

 

Seohyun blinks for a couple of times, until she had her clear visions, she sighed. "What are you doing here?" yet, she did not sit up or even greet the doe-eyed. Instead, she pulled the cover to her head and tried to nap again. Her body is definitely in pain, after that event in the kitchen.

 

 Yoona pulled the covers down."It's five in the afternoon, my work is still not yet done. I have 4 hours left before I could leave. Why don't you get up there and let's discuss your schedule tomorrow. And the task we should do."

 

"You discuss it with yourself--"

 

"Chairman Seo is expecting to see a report in the next two days." Yoona cut intentionally.

 

"Then?" Seohyun just mumbles.

 

"Wow. Do I really hearing you like this? I thought you said to the people in the company that you will take your responsibility in your position? Do you know how difficult for a General Manager to handle each department in the company? For instance, the financial department - Chairman Seo wanted you to focus on their team. The marketing Department, The Human Resource, Security. And lastly, Sales Department. Not to mention, there are some trouble going around the company -- FAB's artists. Three to four artists are asking for termination of their contract."

 

Slowly sitting up, the young DJ now a general manager to her parents' company, is currently rubbing her eyes while letting out such a huge yawn. "You studied about it, already?" she lifelessly questioned.

 

"Yup."

 

"Good. That's good Yoonggator." Seohyun mumbles, was about to lie when a hand got her wrist. Yoona hold her firmly. "Come on, I need more nap. My body is exhausted."

 

"That's why you have get up there and let's eat to gain your strength back."

 

"Eat? Not interested--"

 

Yoona quickly moves - as she pulled the girl which made Seohyun's head dropped in her shoulders. "Get off the bed."

 

"You're ordering me again?"

 

"I won't be ordering you, if you keep this kind of attitude." Yoona says as a matter of fact.

 

Pulling back, Seohyun chuckles as she casually stand up and jumps off of the bed. But end up holding her one arm, while she makes her way out. Yoona smiled at the sight. Though it's a bit bad for her, she's glad she's seeing her moving. Following, she just quietly walks with her.

 

"Did you order any food?"

 

"Nope."

 

Seohyun stops just as she was about to step on the first step of the stairs. She looked back with a confuse look to the latter. "What? I thought you said we're going to eat?"

 

"Yeah, but I cooked. I cooked for us."

 

"You know how to cook?" The young DJ chuckled.

 

"You don't know me at all, Boss. Now come on. Let's finish this night." Without any doubt, Yoona reaches Seohyun's wrist and was about to drag her when the latter pulled her hand off from her grasp.

 

"I can go to my dining without you dragging me. I have my feet, see? Aish." Hissing, Seohyun turned and continue walking down the stairs. With then again, holding her arm. "Aigoo, I hate you." She says in a low voice.

 

Yoona just giggle, recalling the event in the kitchen. From all the flying object she received, non of them hit her. She's not an Officer if she can not avoid all of them. But she must say, she has to revenge with the flour, which both of them end up playing with it. It was fun, but definitely dangerous.

 

Walking in to the dining room, Yoona immediately pulled the chair for Seohyun and the girl take her seat. Yoona then uncovered the plate and, "Tada! Hope you like this." revealed what food she cooked.

 

"Chicken porridge?" Seohyun wore a poker face.

 

"Yeah, since you have body pains right now - and I too." Taking her seat as well, The doe-eyed girl reached for the spoon and fork, handing it to the younger girl. She did also for herself.

 

"Are you kidding me? I don't eat porridge! You buy some steak instead!"

 

Yoona stuck her tongue out. "Not gonna happen."

 

"Who actually is the boss here?"

 

"And who actually is the assistant here?" Yoona grinned playfully.

 

Seohyun scoffed, couldn't believe Yoona is indeed a hard headed assistant. She was about to counter her words when the latter cut her out.

 

"I was just concerned. In order to give you much strength, I want you to eat that. That is good for the body, don't you know that?" Yoona said, still in a bright mood. She just can't give up. She has to do what is right for the latter, otherwise, they'll end up failing. If she has no experience in business, then she is experience in life - in every part of of her life. And yes, she knows everything about cooking. "Listen, tomorrow is going to be hectic. If I'll let you do what you wanted to do right now, we're not going to succeed. You can not prove yourself that you can do business, like the others in the company. Do you want that to happen?" she added, in a serious tone. 

 

Groaning, Seohyun can not complain anymore. She took the spoon and began eating her meal. Yoona has a wide smile, watching her boss - complying to her command. Well, she's indeed the boss but when it comes to her stubborn nature, she IS the Boss. She was relieved and can comfortably finish her own chicken porridge as well.

 

"You're good, Huh?" Seohyun says, somehow, loving the porridge. It gives some warm in her stomach. And it did making her mood good again.

 

"Thanks. You have to finish that." Yoona reminded firmly.

 

"By the way, who was the girl?"

 

Yoona almost spit on her food upon hearing another question. "What?"

 

"I said, Who is that girl in the event? She looks familiar. I think I've - Oh Yeah, In the cinema, right?" Seohyun raised her brows.

 

"Yes. You've seen her a couple of days ago."

 

"So who is she?" 

 

Yoona trailed off, as she answered, "Why do you like to know? You're not interested about her, right?"

 

"Well, I quiet want to know her name. That's it only." says Seohyun, as she casually sip on the porridge soup. She put the bowl down and looked back nonchalantly at the doe-eyed.

 

"Her name is Jessica. Jessica Jung."

 

"So you... like her?" Seohyun teased out of a sudden.

 

"What?"

 

Chuckling, Seohyun quickly answered. "I am not blind. I saw how you smile idiotically towards her. So I thought you are. Is this the girl you're talking about in the restaurant, sometime ago?"

 

"I don't know what you are talking about." Yoona denied, as apparently, her cheeks are turning a bright red. She even looked away from the obvious teasing smile from the other girl. As much as possible, she doesn't want to share about her crush anymore. The last time, she was just caught up talking about herself. She shut , doesn't want to say something about it.

 

"Fine. Just deny it. You are flushing though, it's not obvious at all." Seohyun shrugs and finally finishes her meal. She let out a loud burp and patted her stomach. "Whoa. The porridge was really good. Thanks Yoonggator." and patted Yoona's head. Getting up, she just left the dining without putting the bowl to the sink.

 

Yoona stared at the empty bowl just across her. A beam of smile spread her face - that she had made her eat her food. But its quiet disappointing, she has to hear her complains first. Nevertheless, she loved her cook. And that makes her happy.

 

Finishing on her own meal, she picked up Seohyun's bowl and proceeds to the sink. Where she hurried herself and wash their dishes.

 

A couple of minutes later, she walks in to the room and caught the sight of her boss, currently checking on thw files her Uncle sent to her email as well. She was checking every department's report specifically.

 

"By the way? How did you get in here? I don't remember giving you the password of my house." Seohyun nonchalantly stated, before Yoona could even take her seat next to her. "Or even giving you some card key for this house. Tell me, who gives you permission?"

 

Yoona was about to take her seat, yet, she stopped again.

 

"And how did I end up wearing this pajama? I remember, I was wearing that yellow shirt and black hot pants." Seohyun glared at Yoona, not please apparently.

 

"Can I sit first?" Yoona suggested, so eager to put her bum on the comfy couch already.

 

"Go ahead." 

 

Sighing, Yoona finally got her seat and immediately face the younger girl. "Talking about your shirt? Your stolen shirt? Well, you have to thank me. Because you know what? It's me who handle it. The owner of that clothes did not complain anymore and take it back, quietly. I seriously don't know what's inside your head and you stole it. Well, About me, being here... Um, your Uncle. He gives me a card key for your place."

 

"Okay, that seems... make a sense." Seohyun decided to ignore. She's tired enough to deal with it, though. 

 

"You. That's only your reaction?"

 

Placing her elbow on top of her legs and rested her chin on top of her palm, she leaned forward to the laptop on the coffee table and simply utters, "Do you expect me to react? When its already done? Like the resignation letter you signed yesterday."

 

"Oh, So you have read it?"

 

"I did not read it. I just stared at it."

 

Yoona rolled back her eyes. "I bet you know also that was only for you to prioritize on this."

 

"That's what Hyo Unnie told me. You just copied it."

 

"Ugh, you're seriously not good-"

 

"Just off. I am not leaving Hug. No matter what."

 

".." Yoona can't say a word. In the end, it's still her the boss. She just hope she won't disappoint her Uncle.

 

"Sometimes I wonder if you are just a plain alligator."

 

Again, Yoona doesn't want to response. As then, she find herself watching the latter's monitor. She's very impress. She was taking notes through a word application, with all the details in the company.

 

"Or you are some ninja alligator... Because you know what? You are surprisingly strong. And really skillful from avoiding all the flying objects."

 

"Just got a little interested in taekwondo, that's why." Yoona says, beaming. She moves closer and leaned in to have a closer look with her boss' work.

 

"Taekwondo? Are you some black belter? Or what?"

 

Turning her head to face the younger girl, Yoona whispered, "Just an ordinary person that knows how to defend herself." she flashes a charming smile, earning a small smile from the latter.

 

"You are too cocky."

 

"Well it's true." Yoona quietly snickers, leaning back on the couch. She thought she could spot some mistake but she was impressed that there's even none.

 

"I have found out something though " Seohyun says as she minimize the word and opens that browser. "Take a read at this." As soon as her browser opens, Yoona's eyes widened. Apparently, Seohyun searched something about 'All About Alligator'.

 

"According to this... alligator's life span is about 30 to 35 years in the wild and 50 years in captivity. How old are you?" Seohyun casually questioned, though she already knew through the latter's resume.

 

Yoona wore a poker face, doesn't want to answer - she just stare at the other girl not moving. Giggling, Seohyun proceeds, "If you are 26 this year. That means... you only have 4 years left in your life. Unless, you can survive the 30th age. So if 35, you have 9 years left. Yay! You should start looking for a good memorial service. So-"

 

"Hold on." without a doubt, Yoona quickly snatch the laptop and turned it towards her. She was about to type on 'tiger', yet, Seohyun quickly snatched it back and stuck her tongue out.

 

"No. You search on your own if you want to search about me as well." Says Seohyun, as she quickly jumps off the couch and take the other couch.

 

Scoffing, Yoona crosses her arms under her chest. "Yeah? Let's see." Getting up, Yoona fetch her phone out of her pocket in her jacket and opens it. "Let's see something about you." She opened a browser on her phone and search the topic 'Tiger's Behavior.' Heck, Seohyun suddenly rushes to her and snatched her phone. "YAH! YOU'RE SO UNFAIR!" She eventually shouted, as she attempted to steal it. Seohyun however was fast from avoiding her hand. She hided it behind her, she tried to get it. But Seohyun quickly put the phone in the air. She stepped into the couch and Yoona follows -- reaching for it with a lot of hissed. They're just the same height but the younger girl's hand is so fast from avoiding all Yoona's reach. 

 

Until it accidentally dropped in the floor, both dived on it -- Yoona got her phone. The doe-eyed girl immediately got up and victoriously runs to the kitchen. Seohyun did not mind of chasing anymore and flopped back to the couch. She took the earphone and connected it to the laptop, wearing it on her ears immediately. A blasting music erupted in her ears, as she resumes on reviewing the company's financial department.

 

Whilst, Yoona walked out the kitchen, and flopped back to the couch across the younger girl. Oblivious, she reads the article she had research, "Well, tigers are timid, secretive, unpredictable, wild and essentially solitary. Jumping ability is well developed. Tigers are able to make jumps as long as 5 or 6 meters. Wow. This is so you." She giggles, as she recalled how the younger girl jumps so high earlier, and in Siwon's kitchen. "Additionally, tigers like water and can swim very well easily crossing rivers and streams as wide as 6 or 8km, and exceptionally even 29km. Awesome." she end up speechless about 'tigers'. Because, it seems better than alligator. 

 

As she looked at the younger girl, her eyes rolled - realizing that she's not listening, with its earphones on her ears. "Aish. She's.." she stops halfway when she heard phone ringing. Looking down on it, her eyes at least brightens when she reads the caller id.

 

"Hey, Sica! Good evening~! Have you eaten dinner?" She comfortable leaned her back to the couch.

 

[Where are you right now? Are you still at work?]

 

Taking a glance at the wall clock, Yoona answers, "I only have 2 hours left... I'm done here. Why?"

 

[Nothing. I just wanna know where are you right now.]

 

"You miss me, Sica?" Yoona teased, feeling really giddy inside. Seohyun who was a bit bothered, shifted her eyes to Yoona, who was now lying in the couch - smiling from ear to ear. But she just ignored and tried to focus on her work.

 

[I don't know if I'm missing you, but... I think I am?]

 

"We just saw each other earlier." Yoona giggles.

 

[Yeah, but I feel like that was so quick.]

 

"Well, let's see each other tomorrow."

 

[Sure! Where?]

 

"Coffee shop outside the office. In my break time.."

 

[What time? Is it the same here?]

 

Yoona just couldn't help it and squeal, inside. "1pm. Is that good for you?"

 

[Absolutely--]

 

*snatch*

 

"It's working time, right? Why don't you help me? Talking to someone in the phone is not an assistant's job, Yoonggator. Unless, it came from the company." Seohyun reminded firmly, at the same time, she had ended the call after she say those words. And then, she throws it to the speechless doe-eyed girl. She then went back to her seat, patting the seat empty space next to her.

 

Sighing, Yoona sat up, ruffles her hair and put her phone back defiantly. She got up and took her seat indeed next to the younger.

 

"The Schedule, we need to discuss it as well."

 

Yoona purse her lips and did not complain. Instead, she completed what has been started. Her boss is true anyway. She's in the working hours still.

 

"And, I still have to buy stuffs for my office."

 

"Yeah, because of your-"

 

"Let's buy stuffs tomorrow. I want you to see me at 8." Seohyun quickly interrupted Yoona's words, knowing it will only lead to what happened earlier.

 

"8am?"

 

"Of course."

 

"Okay. You have to sleep early then."

 

"I'm pretty sure." Seohyun instantly answered, as she run her hair to Yoona's hair. "Why blonde?" and suddenly questioned her hair color. "It doesn't fit you, I swear."

 

"Don't try to question my hair style. Yours is like... "

 

"Like what?"

 

"A tiger." Yoona chuckles, realizing that tiger is also orange. Only the printed black differs. She had quickly dodge that punched from the latter, before it could hit her. "I win tonight, don't you know that?"

 

"Pfft. I also wins tonight. Remember? 4 years left, Yoonggator?"

 

Speechless, Yoona let go of Seohyun's wrist and returned her focus to the work again.

 

Seohyun victoriously chuckles this time. "It's 2:2 then..."

 

"Let's see tomorrow." Yoona defiantly sighed, couldn't help it and also ruffles her hair.

 

"I'll make sure you'll give up at the end of this." The young Dj messes on her assistant more, before getting up and proceeds to the kitchen and opens her fridge. She picked up that bowl of apples and put it on top of the table. "Let's have some apple, Yoonggator! An apple a night, makes a Yoonggator awake... hehe... " she sheepishly says, loud enough for Yoona to turn to her. She winks and shows the apple on her hand, before peeling on it.

 

Yoona doesn't know why but the moment she saw winking at her and then smiled so brightly, there goes her heart again, skipping a beat. She quickly turned away and put her palms on her chest, trying to calm it. Yet, she find herself turning to the latter. And by this time, she was smiling on her own, while peeling the apples. She can't believe it but she's also smiling. She find it really rare to see her smiling - must be the reason why her heart just acted that weirdly again. However, she wanted to focus. So she turned away and takes a deep breath, hoping it (heart) will stop from beating so weird.

 

As soon Seohyun went back to the living room, she immediately throw one apple to the doe-eyed, which she catches on time.  She casually take her seat, and moves closer until there's space between them.

 

"Do you... " Yoona can't continue her words, as she find her situation dangerous again. 

 

"Hmm?"

 

Yoona blinks for a couple of times and shrugs what happened to her lose of breathing for a couple of seconds. "Nothing. Let's just finish this." she continued, as she reached on the mouse again. 

 

Seohyun suddenly wants to share the music she's listening and put the other earphone to the doe-eyed. The latter looked at her confusedly.

 

"You will like the music, I'm pretty sure." Seohyun says, as she played that mp3 on her laptop. 

 

Instead of some club music she expected to her, Yoona couldn't believe she's hearing a slow song. What really she really doesn't know, Seohyun likes slow song if she's in the mood to it. And apparently she is.

 

Out of a sudden, Seohyun gradually reaches on her chin and push it upward.

 

"Close your mouth, You're like -- you're about to eat me, alligator." Seohyun giggles and once again teases the latter by eating her own apple with her seductive gazes.

 

Yoona was flustered and immediately turned away. Likewise, she really doesn't like it when the other girl will do it towards her. Little did she knew, Seohyun is enjoying her reaction -- typing so fast.

 

The rest of the night was spent quiet. As Seohyun got exhausted being ignored by her assistant. Its her fault, too. If she just didn't treat her like that. She let Yoona finished her work instead of doing it. She ends up lying in the couch, sleeping. Yoona left the penthouse later, but didn't forgot and transfer the younger girl to her room.

 

 

 

 

[The next day...]

 

 

"You have your money for your fare and lunch?"

 

"Yes, I got it on top of my desk."

 

"Did you finish all your homework last night?"

 

Luhan momentarily stop on his meal upon reminded by 'last night'. He looked up to his sister and ask, "Noona, Where are you all night? I tried to call you a lot but your phone is Dead? I couldn't reach on you."

 

"Oh, It's dead. Sorry about it. I was a bit late last night because I meet with a friend, and we kind of lose in track with the time. So yeah, I was late." Yoona lied, lamely. Her phone was forced to be dead because of her boss, who doesn't want any disturbance. 

 

"I see... Is it that Jung, Noona?" Luhan teased.

 

"Ne? N-No! We didn't see each other last night. It was another friend." Flushing, Yoona awkwardly smiled to her little brother. 

 

"Chincha? Then who?" Always curious, Luhan sure wanted to know.

 

"It's a friend. Aish! Can you finish your meal? You have an hour left to be able to get in your School." Yoona hissed, was about to knock her brother's head, but the latter quickly dodge it and snickers. As he then comply with her words.

 

Sighing, Yoona returned her attention to the laptop next to her. She's staring at her presentation like a proud assistant. The presentation is about the company's current status in the world of business. And she had already sent it to her boss. It's a task that they'll do in the next two days - for Chairman Seo.

 

"What's with the smile, Noona?"

 

"I'm just happy -- I mean... Yeah, I'm in a good mood." Yoona says with a beam. She minimizes the presentation and opens that CCTV monitor -- in Seohyun's penthouse. Seohyun didn't know she put some hidden camera in her room, living room, dining and kitchen, when she was still asleep. This is for her to monitor every move of the girl, so she will know her more without her knowing. 

 

Apparently, she can see a silhouette on the latter's shower room - which indicates she's still in her shower time. But it was if a timing, Seohyun w
