  " .     .    .    My name is hyeon ,”

“     .         .     i was named after my grandmother " hyeon , after ten or so minutes of silence started the mono conversation that would go on for the next couple of minutes. After her question jae has gone on a full quiet mode  , religiously focused on his food .   .   .  His eyes glued to the table .  he’s thinking .    .    .   He's busy thinking . Even hyeon knows she has asked a very important question that one doesn't just simply reply too

      Seconds after she asked that question regret has filled her mind .   .  What if her question was out of line .       .     .  What is he doesn't wanna think about that kind of stuff and she just made him .     .     .   Having so many issues , he probably doesn't even wanna think about his life And death situations. She remembers joon saying a couple of times that jae is suicidal .   .   

    Every minute spent in silence hyeon's busy mind has tried to come up with something to talk about .   .   It was her question that drowned him into his thoughts she has to bring another one that will bring him out  of it .  Minute after minute his silence terrifying her .   .  Hyeon couldn't help but start talking about herself . Replying back to his self introduction .

   "    .      .     .   I was an only child .   .  Both my parents are dead .    .   I have very far relatives on my dad's side but they are not that quite fond of me .    .     .  " she smirked as she went on cutting her bread  , not   looking up to notice jae’s sharp eyes that landed on her the moment she started talking .

    " .    .      .   I was an outcast in school .   . Especially high school .      .   "

" .    .         .   I have a law degree "    he placed his fork down as he picked up his coffee . His blank face on .   .    . attentively listening to hyeon.

    " .     .       .   I use to work pro-bono and on social welfare cases before working for the city council .     .     . Now " she paused , chewing down her food as she swallows the hard truth that she has now moved from all that social work, that she loved so much, to a corporate job.

    " .    .   . Now i work for a corporate machine " she stated nically .   .    A blood money hungry machine, sounding to rude to say in front of the man that use to run it and is owned by his family.  If jae’s really quitting then may be it's time for her to leave to .   .    .   She probably could find a lot of jobs at the social work or women's association . They are always looking for someone with a great knowledge of the law and is willing to work for low pay .

" .     .       .  I'm not a soft spoken person .     .     .    I get angry and scared very quickly .      .     .  It's easy to intimidate me too " she added smiling but jaes blank face didn't change .

    " .     .     .   I am a very opinionated person when it comes to things i believe in "

.

    " .     .       .   There are a lot of things am scared off so let's just leave  that out ." Jae smirked .   .  Even hyeon has noticed. Of Course he would smile about hearing how many things she scared off .    .     .  Even without knowing it , he enjoys teasing her .    .    .   There is no way she would actually tell him her weeknesses. that she would leave for him to figure out on his own

   " .  .   .  Oh yeah , i have two kids am taking care of " she smiled giggling .

   " .    .    .  You have met them “

“      .     .     . the older one is seung the younger is eun bi "  her wide smile was enough to let jae know how much she adored the kids .   .  .  Its as though she shares the same blood as them .   If she's like this for kids she’s just taking care of jae’s mind  couldn't help but start wondering about how much she would love her own kids and how happy will she be then,  just imagining hyeon with her own kids .   .      .  

   " .   .  Wait! what am i thinking about " jae shook his head to get the thought out immediately as quick as it came in . He is already having attacks by just thinking about how much hyeon’s presence is becoming a must for him .   .   Let alone wonder about how she would be like when she’s a mother. .    

         " .    .   .    They are just so lovely .   .    .  I don't think my life would be this great without them " hyeon’s eyes filled with this kind of joy and excitement is a rare sight for jae .   

       " .     .      .   I just want them to be happy and have a great great life " she took a bite of her french toast. .   .  Hoping jae would say something .   .    .  Anything .    .    But he just sat in silence .  

             1  -   2   -   3    - 4 minutes went by in silence .   .    Hyeon , who has hpped that if she'd talk a little bit that jae would naturally comment back as he always does. But no .   He seem to be too occupied in being quite .

   " .    .    .   Are you ok ? Hyeon finally not able to take it asked .  She has thought of all the reason but asking would be easier and get her the exact reason as to why his acting cold all of a sudden.

       " .     .      .   Why did you ask if my conditions were critical " his calm collected voice was enough to startle hyeon but she didn't stop her eating because of that. it was his question that forced her to drop her fork down and bring her eyes up to the blank face and questioning eyes waiting for her . Her thought of what he was thinking about finally settled  .    .     .he was indeed thinking bout her question.  

    “    .      .     i was just wondering ,

   “     .      .        . no that doesn't sound good enough” hyeon busied her mind to come up with something to say that would not turn jae back into his quiet mode. One of the things she can't tolerate is jaes silence , ashe has confirmed earlier his silence is just his way of keeping everything to himself.

  “     .      .      .just curious i guess” hyeon smiled brushing her hair back trying hard to act nonchalant. noticing jae’s sharp gaze that doesn't look like it bought her act calm persona, hyeon turned her eyes to her plate.

           “     .      .     .you don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to .  .” she said in a slow voice.

“     .     .    .somethings are fun to find out on your own later on” she added , her words forcing jae to swallow down what he was about to say . he wants to tell her  .     .   .he wants to be completely honest with her but  .    .    .everyone around him that knows about it, even when they look at him their eyes are filled with pity and the last thing he wants from hyeon is pitty. he doesn't want her to like him out of pity .     .     .or stay with him because she feels sorry for him.

     “    .     .     .I wanna tell you everything you wanna know “ jae picked his water glass and gulped it down as hyeon's eyes shoot up immediately from her toast.

   “     .     .      . and be completely honest “ he placed the glass down.

  “    .     .   .because i value being honest and open but  .     .   .”   he bit his lip as he noticed hyeon hand folding up .    .    .one social que min has thought him to notice on people is body language, which he’s perfect on reading .     .   .and hyeons folded arms and questioning eye don't look that welcoming. How quickly he cut his sentence and the long silence after it were enough to let hyeon know how of the small distance and weird air hanging between them. Both keeping their distances scared of how much the other doesn't value them enough .

           His silence and acting distant finally reminding her of how distant she acts around him. She has herself been very reserved and pushing him off .    .    .  even for a split second being mad about him not answering her question or not telling her anything sounding ridiculous.      .    .a small smile escaped .

             “     .     .     . why are you smiling?’ Jae asked as the waiter quietly placed the black small folder in front of jae .    .without even glancing at it jae placed the black card he pulled out of his pocket on top and handed it back to the waiter , that bowed before he walked off.

   “     .     .      .you know you don’t have to tell me everything because we’re in a relationship” she picked her glass and took the last sips of her orange juice her smiling eyes staring at Jae.

     “    .     .   .What?” she can't help but ask as jae started smiling back . The dismayed look on his face confusing hyeon.

   “     .       .     .you said  we’re in a relationship” his smile stayed while hyeon's instantly faded away as her hands placed the glass down .  .her brain completely blanking out .    .      . the mouth she opened to say something just hanging open. Before she even returned to her self  .   .jae picked his card up from the table and stood up walking towards the exit as hyeon’s dazed and embarrassed self followed behind.

        Every worry he had completely wiped out by that one statement,  jae led the way feeling way more happy than he should about hyeon stating that they are in relationship. The only thing left is him whistling and dancing along to the happy goody song that's playing in the restaurant that he just noticed .    .   .hands in his pocket even the door man, that he smiled and bowed too, is completely surprised at jaes behaviour , which is quite out of the ordinary.

       As he, with his cloud nine feeling walked out towards their car hyeon biting her lips completely filled with nerves followed behind.

    “      .     .     .when i said that

“    .      .   i  .      .      .i     

“    .      . i didn’t mean it in a relationship way” hyeon finally started taking  .    .  .no matter what she has to say something about her slip of words. he’s probably freaking out that all of a sudden i said a relationship  .   .     .his gonn a thing it's because of what happened last night  .      .   .hyeon is seconds away from blowing out .

  “     .      .    .I know it's pretty heist to think we are in a relationship .      .” she stood right at her side of the door and went on as jae turned around  .  .with the same smile on his face.

   “    .       .     . we don’t even know eachother well enough .      .     “

“    .    .   .how can we be in a relationship when i still feel awkward calling you jae or even touching you .    . . “  jae just folded his arms and let her go on with her nervous rant. He know if he stays quiet she is going to say something even more interesting . she always does speak her mind when she angry or nervous.

  “     .      .      .your .      .  .your

  .     .  .you're just too intimidating .    .  .even the way you handing him his card was  .      .”

      “     .     .    .what kind of card was that to begin with .    . .” she threw her hand in the air.

“     .      .       .forget that  "  she returned her eyes to the car to find jae already inside starting the car .

  " .  .  .  Always causing trouble .   .    .  

" . . . You idiot " she opened the door and got in as she scoldes herself . Choosing to stay quite as jae backed the car out .  Once or twice she has read in those beauty fashion women magazines at the hair salon  that the most terrifying thing guys are scared of is the word relationship  .    .   .   but she had done and spat it out.  

      From her lips that are being attacked by her teeth to her folded arms and sharply gazing eyes at the road .  .  Jae could sense that she very weary and nervous.

   " .   .   .  So since we are in relationship .   .  What do i get to call you ?" Jae turned his eyes to hyeon after he stepped on the break when the light in front of them turned red.  Happy .   .   Startled .   .   Hyeon turned her eyes to jae . The smile that was waiting for her relieving her worries as it looks like jae rather than scared looks more glad of what she said .

    " .   .   .  We don't have to be in one because i said it so " she brushed her hair back and jumped up bring her left feet onto the seat as she turned her body towards jae . She has a lot of convincing to do .  

  " .   .    . Should i say it then " jae asked .

" .   .   .  Or you don't wanna be in one with me " he added as he folded his arms , his dark eyes mischievously glaring at hyeon just as his lips that re smiling .

   " .    .    .  NO. . . NO . . . NO .   .

"  . THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT " hyeon's hand started shaking just as her loud objections .

   " .   .  . It's not that "

" .   .   .  I do wanna be in a relationship with you "

   " .   .   .  How can you say that " she went on mumbling as she to startled to notice his smiles and figure out , just as always , he's just teasing her. But it didn't take her long .   .   .

       " .   .    .  I already told you that i like  " she didn't finish her sentence as she noticed his glowing face and mischievous smile widely displayed on his happy face . She brushed her hair back .  ,  instantly dropped her feat down , turned her face to the road .  , arms folded her face went back to its serious mode.   

   " .   .  . Are you gonna finish .  .  "

     " .   .   .  Don't say anything " she interrupted jae . Her sharp voice didn't alarm jae . He just went on laughing . She is just too adorable when she's upset. She will calm down ina couple of minutes .   .  Jae just stepped on the gas when the light turned green .   From now and then stealing  a glance hyeon's way . But no matter how long .  Her folded arms and the serious deadly upset look on  her face didn't seem to change .

     As the minutes go by , jae couldn't hold it in and just in silence as he was told too .

 " .   .    .  Are you mad at me " he glanced her way . She didn't even move a finger as she just focused her eyes on the road ahead counting down the minutes it will take to get to the office.

    " .   .   .  You gotta be kidding me ?" Jae smirked as he turned left .   .  They have about 2 turned till he gets to the office .

    " .     .     . This is ridiculous " he can't help but laugh at how childish hyein is acting right now. But no amount of laughing could entice her to talk , she didn't even glance his way once.

   " .    .    - are you mad because i made you say you wanna be in a  relationship with me ?" He lenaed forward to get her attention but her furious eyes were dead locked on the road .

   " .    .   .  if that's the case , i wanna be in a relationship with you too . " he glanced her way. again no reaction.

     "  .   .    .  I told you before ,

  “       .      .       . i'm yours " he said, this time keeping his eyes on the road as he merged eight taking the turn missing the little movement hyeon made as she bite her lower lip to swallow in the smile his words have caused. From his calm but trippy voice she could tell his getting worried.

        ".    .   .  Can you please not say anything anymore " hyeon trying hard to keep her serious face said ina collected calm voice . If teasing her is fun for him .   .   .   Seeing him this worried is inturn her enjoyment .  

       Jae , dismayed by her behaviour , saved his words and just went on driving quite telly.  Did he go too far .    .     .  Is she really that upset . Jae glanced hyeon's way .    She does look upset and not to be bothered .

    Vroom - the car pulled over into the driveway of the entrance , surprising not just lay whos standing by the corner smoking but all the uniformed valet that have heard he won't be in any more . But rather than his presence it's the person on the seat next to him that has grabbed everybody's attention . She didn't care about all the eyes nor did she wait for  the car to stop completely as she pulled her belt off - pushed up all her hair into a messy bun and jumped out without saying anything .

   Bamm- the door slammed shut as hyeon started walking to the entrance not even glancing back once .

       " .   .  Yes ,   finally " she smiled .
