*˚ ♡ › “am i that obvious ?” she asked, her eyes shifting away with an embarrassed smile. yeeun wasn’t good at playing games. she was practically an open book with every of her emotion written on its pages. and even if it bothered her that she was so easy to figure out, that she wasn’t one of these painfully twisted but at least interesting people, she hoped that jaehyun believed her. that every word leaving her lips, was nothing but the truth. “ but how dare you, i wasn’t playing the innocent card.” she said, feigning ignorance, a sweet smile playing on her lips. no, yeeun rarely ‘played’ any card, but perhaps this time she made a little use of it. not that she did it intentionally, but truth to be told there was still hesitation in her actions, perhaps even shyness. unable to pull away, yeeun lost herself in his kisses. deep, drugging and slow. the softness swept every thought from her head. one hand reached for his warm to the touch, her finger running across his palm. her arm wrapped around his neck to hold him even closer, she was melting against him as his warm lips moved over hers. as he stopped she caught her breath. their forehead resting against each other, yeeun stole another sweet kiss, then lifting her hand, running it down his face, her eyes taking in every of his mesmerizing features, memorizing each detail. “ but i was curious about what you were saying.”she admitted, her hand slipping from his face. “ i mean if you might have doubts about… this. i’m fine. you don’t need to consider my feelings. ” she whispered, burying her head under his chin.
yeeun laughed, despite of her cheeks hurting from him squeezing them, she wanted to reach out for his cheeks as well, but he already intertwined his fingers into hers and considering their notable height difference it was far more difficult for her. “ i don’t want you to think of me as only adorable though.” she muttered, as she turned away. “ because i wanted to know when we can see each other again. i mean perhaps you’ll suddenly change your mind so at least i will have this one date.” she tried to sound casual, as if it didn’t bother her. she knew that it would take her some time to get over her insecurities but she would start now to work on it. she didn’t want to become one of these people who suddenly became too possessive only due to their own insecurities. “ but you haven’t asked first so it makes me the gentleman and don’t worry you’ll have several other opportunities to show that you’re capable of loving me.” she said, patting his hand in a reassuring manner. “ if you say so…” she said in defeat, doubt still written all over her face. she wanted to believe him, but this time even yeeun couldn’t gather some optimism. thinking about it made her unbelievably tired. her features were slowly wilting. all she wished was just to hide under some blanket and forget about everything she knew about what her family had done or might do to him. “ then why don’t they just hurt your father. why you” the frustration towards her own father, caused these words to slip out her mouth. “ why does ever child has to be punished for their parents actions, it’s not like they can choose their parents.” she didn’t know since when she’d become this way, perhaps she’d really changed since her father’s death. slowly realizing what she had said, she quickly apologized. “ i’m sorry i didn’t mean to say that.” she mumbled, she didn’t want jaehyun to think of her as a bad person. “ i think i’m just tired.”
“just a little bit..” he trailed off still admiring her beauty and her presence that unfolds next to him. he lips formed a smirk before laughing to himself silently. maybe with yeeun he could finally be his old self again. maybe with yeeun he could finally change his ways into something good and pure. no matter how much yeeun protested that jaehyun wasn’t a complete asshole or jerk people like to think of him as... he begs to differ. although, she says that now..she has yet to figure out what was the true jaehyun inside. a side that he hopes she would never have to see or figure out but no one can tell the future right? who knows what’s going to happen with them at some point later on? who knows what’s going to happen with yeeun at some point later on because of jaehyun? “why would i ever have doubts when it comes to you, yeeun? don’t ever say stuff like that again, it would just break my heart. i want to be with you. i need you, yeeun. more than you think i do.” some might say it would a bit stranger considering the fact that jaehyun didn’t bother to notice yeeun until now. but yet, his feelings for her made him realize something. his feelings for yeeun was buried deep deep down and they didn’t come up until she was the one who confessed... maybe, his old self was buried deep down and wouldn’t come out until something triggers it. maybe that something was yeeun.
“yeeun..” he said her name, but she continued speaking and his eyebrows pulled together. what the hell was this? was something inside her head? did someone compel her? That would be absurd but now jaehyun was even more concerned than he had been before. “i won’t change my mind yeeun. i’ll go on a bunch of dates with you, i’ll even go to paris with you if you wish.” he told her honestly, but now he needed to know what was going on. “What is going on? are you okay? what is trying to make you believe this?” he asked softly, clearly concerned for her well being above all else. jaehyun was starting to get worried, was it his past actions that made her believe that she wasn’t worth it to be with him? was it someone else? But, not wanting to push her to much he stood still and reached for her other hand.”i -- i don’t know why. maybe it’s because they know that if they hurt the company it would hurt him as well. he doesn’t care about me, the only thing he ever cares about is money and the number of wives he could get in a day.” jaehyun didn’t take her words to heart, it was quite true. a lot of people he knew had such a dark past, mostly everyone he knew did. some are even growing up to be just like their parents, it was a scary thing no one really had power over.” it’s okay, yeeun. it’s okay. why don’t we go back to my office? i have a very comfy bed there and everything. we can also get you out of those clothes, if you would like. so how does that sound? don’t worry, i won’t see a thing.”
