sorry for the long chapter , couldn't decide where to cut it. LOL , enjoy!

      “ .   .    .   So you just gonna stand there or .   .   .  “ hyeon asked as she placed the chopsticks at each side of their plates  . While jae stood there aimlessly staring at her neighbour hood view . hyeon has helped mr jung cook and one by one brought out the amazing almost, a groupe worthy meal that was cooked just for the two of them . Even Though hyeon doesn't know jae's specific taste and what he prefers .  .   .  The madam has taken the liberty and cook them a meal as one of the waiters helped hyeon set up the tent and the portable pot for the grile.

      Wrapping herself up with the blanket mrs jung gave her hyeon sat down .  . Legs up on the chair totally squeezed  into a wrap with her arms out as she started placing the garlic and the meat on the geril.  

       “ .   .    .  How is the real estate here .   .   . “ jae started walking back , hyeons voice finally bringing him out of the place his brain was .   .   . The city noises added to the cold breezy day and the great view of people roofs .   .  Jae can't help but be swollow in his thoughts, which now he doesn't even remember what they were.

    “ .    .   .  Is somebody else joining us ?” he asked, the second he noticed the lascivious meal laid out on the table .

   “ .   .   .  Mr jung said you look like you haven't eaten for day so .    .   . “ hyeon placed the last piece of meat as she glances jaes way .

  “ .   .    .  You eat meat right or .   .  Do you only eat expensive kinds  or just fish “ hyeon smiled glancing at jae as he sat down in front of her . He’s too busy scanning the food on the table to notice her smile, carefully trying to identify what each plates holds in .

         “ .   .   .  If you just try it .   .  am sure you’ll like it “ hyeon worried as she saw his sharp eyes glaring at each plate,  she couldn't help but wonder if he even will be willing to touch any of it let alone have a meal .

        “ .   .   .  Do you want me to get you a  sandwich . . .  there's a store right in front “ hyeon suggested , even though she can't read his blank face he doesn't look like his a tiny bit interested on eating any of it .   ,  with his hands still in his jacket pocket .   .  Jae doesn't look like he likes what he see,s.

     “ .   .   .  No , i’ll eat this “ he replied . From the moment he woke up to know he has seen how much effort hyeon is making to being more open and he should too . If he has to eat whatever is infront of him then so be it .  .  .  How bad can it be .   .    .   It's not like it's gonna kill him .

    “ .   .   .  Are you sure .   .  “ hyeon's questioning eyes didn't seem to buy his reply .  .  Jae didn't say anything , he picked the chopstick next to his bowl and started flipping the meat, that seem to be cooked well . Probably he’s more of an expert when it come to the gril than hyeon

     “ .   .    .  What did you ask about the real state “ hyeon placing her chopstick,  which she was using to flip the meat, down picked her spoon . She needs to eat while it's still hot so she could stay warm .

    “ .   .    . May be i should get a house here .  .  The view is amazing “ jae lifted his eyes and took another l8ok at the view behind hyeon .

       “ .   .  .  Oh please don't,

 we already have you hotels being built right in front of our nose now you wanna move too”  she took her second sip .

    “ .    .    .  They are not mine “ jae protested picking his spoon . Hyeon's eyes slowly followed his hand as he took his first sip.  The moment he looked up finding hyeon's eager eyes waiting for his reaction .   .   .  He just stared back for a second mindlessly wondering at how much she is really worried about him liking the food .  

    “ .   .    .  Who made this ?” he asked sending his hand down to get another sip .

   ” .   .   .  Mrs jung,  i told you her food is to die for “ hyeon smiled as jaes hand went on taking multiple sips .   .   .  A clear evidence of how much he likes the food .

    2  -   3    - 4   seconds went by turning into minutes as both dug into their meals .  . Adding the grilled meat into the mix .  .  Both look like they haven't eaten for day as they quietly attack the meal laid out on the table , not even have time to spare to start a conversation .

      “ .   .    .  So what with his personal thing” jae finally asked. Her reply to the old man's question has shocked him the most. from her tugging into his arm or making him coffee or even letting him sleep at her place .  .  .  Calling him , her personal thing is probably the most intimate thing jae has ever been called.

      Hyeon took a bite or two to try and  come up with a smart way to reply .

          “ .   .   .  What should i call you then “ she answered by a question. That always helps in avoiding a question.

      “ .   .    .   Am sure you have friends i don't know of , how will you introduce me to them ?” she placed her chopsticks down and immediately sent her hands back into the blanket. her eyes glaring at jae , waiting for his reply .  

           “ .   .    .  See , you don't have an answer either “ she  smiled when jae failed to answer . He just went on eating his food , which he had started eating to please hyeon has somehow become a great lunch .  .  .  Let it be that he's on an empty stomach or too dazed to care but jae is genuinely enjoying mrs jung's cooking .  

           The sky screams as the cold breeze brushes against their face .   .   .  It couldn't get any more gloomy and darker as in the middle of the day the sun is far away hidden by the dark clouds , taking a break for today.  This dark and gloomy weather would be what these two would associate with each other from now on.  .   .  If and when they have to reminisce about a time they were completely themselves and in  each others company, today will be the start of it all .

        Shaking now and then as even the blanket cant keep her fragile and small body warm,  hyeon sneaks out her hands from the blanket take a bite and return them back .   .   .  While wondering how on earth the man in front of her is not even cold with just a jacket over a simple t shirt.  He does look pale .  .   .  But he has always been pale, like someone who has a thing against the sun and spends his days locked in a blocked off house.

     How can one be this pale and fair in complexion .   .  .  Hyeon couldn't help but stare at his spotless face .   .   .  His looks becoming more angelic as her affections for him deepens .  .   .  His amazing jawline, she never notice now catching all her attention as he goes on eating .  

   His dad is good looking but jae's mom has to be a goddess .   .   .  Who ever she is m she has to be a goddess to give birth to such a man  .

   “ .   .    .  Why are you glaring at me ?” jae finally finding hyeon's staring eyes uncomforting asked . Glancing up at her before returning his eyes to his food . Woken up by the raspy voice hyeon just shook her head and returned her eyes to her food .

      “ .    .     .  How can someone this handsome be hers “

“ .  .   . How can he be hers to touch “ hyeon's mind is busy fighting it self as she takes on her bites and sips in from her hot soup.  Call it cynical or pessimistic  .   .   .  No matter how she is convinced of jaes affections towards her she can't help but keeping asking why?. Isn't it the more she falls for him the more she would be terrified of losing him .   .   .  Starting to want to keep him forever , which would be a far way far fetched dream that if hyeon wishes for even she herself would be the first person to laugh at her foolishness. The world is not that giving and kind to give her jae for forever .

    Hyeon shoot her eyes up at jae .      .      .      .   , as he brushes his dark smooth hair back focused on his meal .   . Hyeon's heart didn't need a warning as it started jumping beats .  . Slowing down the count as hyeon takes in jae’s face .   .    .  She turned her eyes back to her food immediately as jae,  once again caught her dismayed eyes glaring at him . He didn't miss how she has been silent and sneaking glances at him for the past couple of minutes . When left alone,  jae has learned hyeon's mind is quick to start thinking of things most of the time the extremes of things.

      After her complete change in behaviour it's a given she would been taken aback herself by her change in attitude . If she's thinking this much about it .  .   .  She’ll probably go back to herself once she realizes how far she has come .  The serious look on her face is making jae anxious to find out what she's thinking about this deeply .  is she second guessing herself.   .     .  Or questioning whether she should go back to herself or not .

  Bamm - he caught her eyes again as she snuck another sharp look at him.

   Wasting more minutes as both question on what the other one is thinking of .   .  .  The sky hyeon thought couldn't get darked turned completely black , screaming out loud to warn all the people below it of the heavy rain that it's now gonna be able to hold onto.

        Hyeon seem to be the only one worried about it .  .   .  As she glances up. The weather is getting colder forget warm  the blanket doesn't even seem to keep her hidden away from the cold wind as she could ever brezz that pass their way down to her bone. A weak immune system and an overworked body that has been torted of its basic needs  .   .  .  Is bound not to withstand any change , even a simple one as a cold weather.

    “.    .    .   They are offering me to be the c.e.o “ jae broke the long silence startling hyeon , who shoot her eyes up instantly .he doesn't need to be worry about hyeon any more .   .    .specially after today  He could tell her everything  .  Anything related to work , which he has held up wondering if she would ever use it against him or give it away to lay .  Even if she might not be able to fully understand the situation just letting her know his worries will life some the weight jae carries around hiding from her.

  “ .   .   .     I don't know if he's resigning or not but .  .  “

“ .   .   .  Wait what do you mean the ceo's position ?” hyeon placed her spoon down and asked interrupting. A little bit shocked that he probably can't mean the ceo of jk .   .    .   She is having a hard time swallowing that he even use to be the executive director now its CEO.

   “ .   .   .  The ceo’s position” jae slowly repeated wondering what is causing the startled look on her face

  “ .   .    .  CEO of JK ?” hyeon's eyes couldn't get any bigger now can she look any more anxious  . Jae didn't reply he just stared back .

   “ .   .   . You are gonna be the ceo “ she asked the little smile that escaped her lips added to the dismayed look on her face m hyeon is clearly not one of those who will be jumping up and down if he takes the position.

     “ .   .   .  Wahh “ she sighed multiple times brushing her hair back.

  “ .   .    .  I didn't say i accepted “ jae replied returning his eyes to his food. Even Though not sure why she's this startled he could guess she wouldn't be happy about it since even his last position was a reason she kept her distance.  

   “ .   .    .  He is just offering his position “ he added his reply didn't seem like it has claimed hyeon down.  Ceo .   .   She has completely forgotten about  jaes job .   .   .  Even Though he's quitting,  being the first born it wouldn't be a surprise that he would be the heir replacing his father .  Thats right .   .      the man sitting in front of her is not just a millionaire or a billionaire he is a heir to the country's biggest corporation. She picked her glass and gulped the soju in one breath .  .   She needs to calm down , she sighed breathing in the cold air .

    “ .   .   . Am sure they are planning on something “ he looked up , hyeon poured herself another glass of the drink he has objected to try . His tongue that is used to expensive whisky and wine might not probably like soju .    .  .   Or that he has drank his whole body out last night .    .    . But that was not his reason either . No matter how much he would love to drink , for today he wants to stay sober .  He has to be in his completely sober and sane mind to truly capture every second of this day .

     She poured another one. She could possibly be dating someone who will be the owner of it all in a couple of years .   .    .   She dating the owner of jk  .   .   .  The world is gonna blow up then.

    “ .    .    .  So,  “

“.   .   .  So you are not gonna accept it ever or what ?” she asked placing her glass down and finally getting clam .

“ .   .    .  When they are handing me something , there is always something on the other hand that they stab me with .    .     . “ he took a bite

  “ .   .   .  I wanna work and get it not be handed over “

“.   .   . But you're the first child , of course they are gonna hand it to you “ hyeons voice was a little bit shaky.

  “ .   .   .  Am no the first born .    .  “

    “ .   .     .  Am the illegitimate one “ jae added his eyes still glued to his food , a little bit nervous and even embarrassed to call himself illegitimate  in front of hyeon .  

   If he had had his eyes up he would have caught how quickly hyeon face had changed as she caught his last words.  Not able to hide the broken look on her face as her heart sharded to pieces as she's once again reminded of jae's standing in the jk family.

          Not just all the things she wanted to say but all her thought silence by his confession hyeon sat discomforted and her heart aching for the man in front of her . Her fear and anxiety brought by her realIzation of his heir states totally disappearing as she realizes how much of her heart is captured by the man , just the man and simply the man . Not his title or his money or his last name or his amazing connection but just jae.  The illegitimate child, locked away from the world and raised in the luxury prison he calls home Used as a puppet by people he called his family.

    Its that person that hyeon is falling for. The person who she doesn't know .   .  .  Is terrified to know  .  Scared to even ask about . Its jaes almost second personality that he has hidden behind this silent ,bossy and confident demeanour he has on 24/7 that has hyeon caught up . Breaking her heart to shreds every time she gets a glimpse of it .

     It seems to be that one that she just say , as his dark eyes for one with a shy scared look glanced up at her , immediately turning down to the table once they met her sharp gaze.

   “ .   .    If you wanna talk about it  , i’ll listen “ hyeon said .  .  . Somehow the split second glimpse of his eyes she got letting her know of how much of the big known secret that nobody wanna address is holding and hurting jae.  

    “ .   .    . What the hell jae “ he solded himself as he brushed his hair back .  He had something .    .     . something he shouldn't .

     Hyeon waited .   .   .  Seconds .    .  minutes    .   she waited for him but jae just went on eating as if he had said nothing . He doesn't wanna talk about it . He has never wanted to talk about it .   .   .  And for jae his family situation is not something he will feel comfortable talking about with hyeon.

    “ .    .   .  Why would he offer you the position if he knows you're  quitting?” hyeon asked helping jae put and changing the subject and cutting the awkward silence short.

    She gave him a quick smile as he looked up , he knew she is trying to redirect the conversation .

   “ .    .   .  That's what i'm trying to figure out “ he replied.

  “ .  .  May be he sincerely wants you to take over .   .  .  Can that ever be a possibility “ she asked . She doesn't jae's parents but after he got the grandma's inheritance, all of it  some people might not be totally shocked if the dad wanted to give his position to jae too.

   Oh that smile .   .  .  Hyeon couldn't help but be dumbfounded as times slowed down when her brain went on capturing his smile .  No wonder he doesn't smile often .  .    It would have been difficult for any girl to not fall for him after seeing just one of these.

   “ .   .   . Haha “ he brushed his hair back , capturing hyeon's breath.

  “ .    .    .  Sorry , i just .  .  “ jae shook his head and stopped his quiet laughs.

     “ .   .   Your smile.   . .  “ hyeon startled jae .   .  Not even finishing her sentence , she just went on  staring at jae.

  “ .    .   .  What do i look weird when i smile ?”

“ .   .    .no .     No you don’t” hyeon picked her glass .  Thank god he doesn't smile often , she took a sip .

   “ .     .     .   Then what ?” jae asked. He's not gonna let this one go .
