NarratorJihyun stare at the ceiling with a sigh, she’d thought being Chris’s fake girlfriend was easy, but it was easier said than done and what’s worst, her feelings got confused just by his small touches and gentle words. Somehow, it didn’t help either when Raymond suddenly showed up, she’s is afraid that Raymond will tell Chris the truth before she got the chance to explain herself."It’d be easy if I don’t feel anything… is the theory or falling for someone in 60 seconds real? Am I falling for him? But why am I so scared of him finding out? Does it have anything to do with my feelings at all?" thoughts after thoughts flood into her mind, making her move her small frame relentlessly around the bed. Unknown to her, Chris was watching her closely, “You know, you’ve been sighing a lot after we left the party, was it my parents?” Chris could not take his eyes away from her lying on the bed, looking lost and a bit distraught. Chris dragged her back to their room and Jihyun immediately
NarratorWaking up and feeling like her body was made out of leads, she frowned when the emptiness of the room greeted her. Trying to recall what happened to her before her nap, Jihyun's nose scrunched as her memories were blurry. "Did something happened to me?" she asked aloud as she looked into the vanity mirror, confused as to why there was a hickey on her collarbone suddenly. Try as she might, the happenstance of Luke and Aliaa's old schoolmates flashed and what came next played a stupid movie for her."CHRIS!" she blushed yet her red face wasn't just because she felt butterflies with his action, but it was also due to the fact she was frustrated with the male. His "Don't question the skin-ship I do or intent," was driving her crazy as their days here progressed.***“Don’t, don't go Jihyun...” he whispers in his deep voice as if he knew what kind of effect it has on her, letting shivers run down her spine, back hugging her still.“W-why?” Jihyun shuttered, "Shit!" she felt Chris
NarratorThe next morning, Chris wakes up before his phone can ring, making sure to close all sorts of alarms on it. He stretches to his side and smiles as he watches Jihyun sleep, still as a baby, as the duvet covers both of their lower body parts. ”It hasn’t been more than 5 nights, but I kind of like waking up with you by my side... What have you done to me, Hyun?”She is sleeping on her side, showing him her front as her hands make a pillow for herself. Soft breathing could be heard, and that told Chris that she was still far away in dreamland. She looks peaceful as she sleeps, and it got him thinking about many things, good and bad, that he could do with her.His thoughts ran wild as he traced her face with his fingers and softly pulled her body closer to his, giving her his arm as a pillow. Her hair, which was a bit messy, had been brushed aside so Chris could get a better view of her bare face. Her skin is pale yet radiant without any form of makeup, complementing her high chee
Narrator“Good morning,” she greets the younger. “Oh, good morning unnie; it’s good to see you early today and out of bed,” a sly look painted on her face and Jihyun couldn’t help but blush. The happenstance of her wakeup call and in the elevator flashed but she kept her composure.Clearing her throat as if to look not so embarrassed, Jihyun composed herself and uttered a bit confidently, “That was yesterday. He woke up early today to make sure no one intruded on our morning.” Aliaa wiggled her eyebrows as if to say she knew what the older man meant: “I can see why.”“Stop teasing me, please; spare me the embarrassment. I’m here for an omelette.” Aliaa couldn’t help but laugh as Jihyun’s complexion was turning redder as they spoke, so the younger female did spare her the teasing. “Then order away, unnie.” She couldn’t help
Narrator Later that afternoon, even though it was nearing the end of office hours, not Chris nor Jihyun stopped their work. Jihyun wasn’t lying when she told her mother she'd had her hands full. As for Chris, on the other hand, he was trying to juggle and settle a few pieces of paperwork as his father was interested in buying a new piece of land in Beijing, China. “Chris!! Oppa!! Where are you?” the younger female yelled as she entered the office with Luke tailing behind her. Disturbing the peace in Chris’s quiet office, they left the door wide open. Not once caring to close it or wait for Jihyun’s return. “Wait…Aliaa? Luke?” Chris looked up from his papers, shocked by the sudden noise. He frowned when the female happily skipped towards his couch and slumped down. “Hiii!” she beamed, making Luke chuckle. Staring at them for a few moments, Chris tried to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but it was futile when Aliaa giggled at something Luke said. Sighing, he put down his
NarratorOnce Chris and Jihyun were left alone, she didn’t waste time and slapped his hands away from her. Chris didn’t have it in him to feel offended as he knows, he was at fault. Glaring at the male in silent rage, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?” gone was the calm and collected woman, as Chris looked at her apologetically.“Whoa, calm down!” Chris placed his hands on her shoulder and massaged them softly. He was hoping to reduce her anger but she looks nowhere near calm. “Maybe I should have thought this through? But the deed’s already done… what am I going to do?”This was the first time he’s seeing Jihyun like this, so, the surprise would be an understatement for Chris. Jihyun had always been a woman who was good at keeping her feelings hidden from him, she was always so professional. So, to see her being this expressive because of his small decision, made him feel bad.“Don’t touch me! What the hell was that?! What the hell did you do?!” nose flared and breathing heavy, her eyes were
NarratorAfter the long and horrible day for Jihyun, the only thing she wants is her bed and to sleep it all away. The events of the day were something she doesn’t want to think about. Or at least until she’s freshened up. The least would be, to leave her alone to her thoughts and let her reboot her mind till she’s ready.Letting her body sink into her soft queen size bed, Jihyun moaned at the softness and bounciness of it. Sleeping seemed like the best option after everything, but she knows, if she doesn’t shower now, she won’t till the next day. She internally wished her parents, specifically her mother, won’t come and bother her for not showing up at dinner earlier.Her tired ears picked up the sound of the door opening, “Hyun baby, you are home early,” instead of her mother, it was her sister who greeted her sarcastically. The older woman stood by her bedroom door, hands on her hips. “Very funny unnie,” of course she knew why her sister said that. Her mother had been blasting her
NarratorComing out of the shower fully clothed, Jihyun was surprised to see another figure on her bed. “Jiso unnie, what are you doing here and not at home?” she paused as the cogwheels in her mind worked. “Now that I think about it… Jiyu unnie shouldn't be here as well, why are you guys here? Wait, are the kids here as well?”The thoughts of the earlier dinner that she did not attend went out the window as she talks. But her sister said nothing and gestured her over, so Jihyun did as told. As she sat down next to her middle sister, despite her tired body, some level of excitement bubbled inside.Thinking about her little angels, the tiring and confusing day didn’t seem so bad. Even though she cannot fulfill the promises she made, to be able to see them tomorrow would still be satisfying for Jihyun’s packed schedule.“Let’s see, Brianoppahas to attend to a few family matters toda
