Porter was busy staring at Janine’s face while waiting for someone to find them and get them back to the camp. To be honest, Porter could just carry Janine back to the camp and lay her to a more comfortable place but he just couldn’t risk it. This is a forest and who knows what creatures are roaming around them now.
Janine’s already sick. He didn’t want to put her to a more risk.
Porter sighed to himself as he unconsciously strokes the back of his hand on Janine’s face. “Porter Kim,” he chuckled weakly to himself. “You are one funny guy. You can’t just like a person as fast as that.” He spoke weakly and softly.
He was taken aback when Janine stirred in her sleep. She was mumbling some words, or rather calling some names, but Porter couldn’t decipher. Was it the name of her lover? He didn’t know. And to be honest, he didn’t want to care.
But there is this growing feeling insi
“Should we wake them up?”Yasmin asked Jonas as they watched Janine and L sleeping. Janine’s head is leaning on Porter’s shoulder and Porter’s head is leaning on Janine’s.Yasmin brought her phone out and took a picture of the innocent sleeping people. She smiled widely when she finished capturing this heavenly moment.Porter flitted his eyes open and saw Yasmin and Jonas in front of him, smiling really widely. His eyes widened when he realized the growing weight on his shoulder. He looked at it and he shut his eyes and frowned.Why did his employees have to see this?“Hey, Janine Kwon, wake up.” He shook her a bit. He looked at Yasmin. “She’s sick last night.” He told her. “Do we have some food in the camp?” He asked trying to cover up the awkwardness at their position.Porter is still worried that Janine would still have the hangover of her fever today.
“Mr. Han, kindly bring me my agenda for the meeting now.”Everyone in the office looked at Porter weirdly after phoning his secretary for the first time since he took over the supervisor slot.Janine, on the other hand, didn’t know if she would be happy or what that, finally, Porter made use of his secretary.Yasmin nudged her from the side. “Is it just me or is Mr. Kim acting really differently today?” She whispered to her.Janine looked at Porter who was so immersed into what he is reading. Maybe it’s an important matter. She didn’t know. And obviously, she didn’t care.She shouldn’t care.But since Porter was really good to her and he actually took care of her when she fell from the cliff. She was injured and was burning up and Porter took care of her all night. He even played that darned 21 questions game with her.So, she should at least consider having the benefit of the doub
One week and five days.Porter has been ignoring – more like avoiding – Janine for almost two weeks now. She knows that it sounded ridiculous but she’s bothered by the fact that the person who annoyed her to death is acting like she’s one invisible lady in the office.This morning, Porter asked Jonas to tell her that he’s going to meet another client and Janine has to fill in to his spot on the meeting of the different supervisors of the company. Porter asked him when Janine is just there, listening to their conversation.Today, Porter transferred to his new office. It isn’t really new. It was prepared before but he didn’t really use the office.Maybe Janine was just being concerned. But the thing is she didn’t know why is she is being concerned. She shouldn’t be concerned. She shouldn’t think of Porter who’s obviously avoiding her.But well, the more you think about not thinking abo
Janine was staring blankly at the food.It’s been 4 days since Porter confessed to her but until now, she still couldn’t make herself believe that Porter was ignoring her because he was falling for her.After Porter’s confession, she immediately ran out of his office and never came back. Whenever she sees him, she pretends like he’s not around. Whenever, he calls her to his office, she would ask Jonas to just go in her place and makes a variety of stupid excuses.Ironically, she’s doing the exact same thing that L did to her. Avoiding.“Don’t you think it’s time for you to eat?” Henney asked her. She has been watching her for minutes now and she’s wondering why Janine isn’t even touching her food.Janine nodded and nonchalantly ate her food without a word.Henney narrowed her eyes at her friend who’s acting all strange and all. “Is there something wrong?” She
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck this!” Porter rummaged his fingers into his hair in frustration. This was what he wanted. It was what he needed. Space. Distance. Avoidance. But now that Janine has finally told him that they could never be friends, his heart couldn’t accept it. He couldn’t accept the fact that he fell for someone who couldn’t be his. He fell for someone who’s in a relationship. “Dude, she’s not yet married.” Hunter beamed at him as the three of them – Porter, Serge and Hunter – gathered around the living room. Porter gave him a look and Hunter just shrugged. “I bothered someone since Elementary, remember?” The latter beamed. “And now she’s married and I’m still bothering her.” Serge gave him a disgusted look. “Eew, Hunter Lee! What the hell are you thinking?” He scolded Hunter who just laughed at him. Hunter chuckled. “Dude, bothering her doesn’t mean I’m stealing her away from her husband, duh? I’m not that dumb to sacrifice m
“I can’t do this.” Janine whispered as Porter’s car parked in front of her condominium unit building.Porter looked at her with worried eyes. Somehow, he knew this would happen. He knew Janine. It’s hard for her to admit what she feels for him because she has someone else and it’s not easy to just throw away that one person who made her feel special for a long time.Janine sighed and looked at him. “Mr. Kim, you can’t be with me.” She beamed making Porter flinch. “Please, don’t do this.” She begged.Porter sighed and took her hands. “You feel something for me.” He told her with much conviction in his voice. He knows it. She likes him in one way or another. She responded to his kisses. She didn’t slap him or anything. She likes it. She likes him. And he knows it.Janine shut her eyes and sighed. “I don’t.” She denied with her heart beating really fas
Porter smiled as Janine hung up on her boyfriend. He didn’t expect her to act that way but at the same time, he is happy that somehow, she chose him – or at least that’s how Porter sees it.Janine gave him a look before passing by him, probably to get her things in the room.“Ride with me to the office,” Porter offered as he followed Janine to her room.Damn. Since when has he become so clingy for a woman? Why does he seem like he couldn’t last a second without seeing her face?Janine sighed and gave him a look. “Please, stop. Please.” She told him.Porter narrowed his eyes on her. Of course, she would ask him to stop. Of course, she would still deny her feelings for him. He could understand that it’s not easy to admit that you are attracted to someone else after liking only one person after all these years.Janine needs time. He knows it.But he will never stop making her realize
“Come on, Ms. Kwon.” Porter called Janine politely as he passed by their area. He is calling her to come with him for the end-of-the-month meeting with Mr. Lee.Janine looked at him and nodded, standing up then picked the folders they need for the presentation.To be honest, she’s a little too nervous for this meeting because she never had discussed this with L. She went inside his office just to go through a folder then cuddled with Porter. For twenty minutes, at most.She looked at Porter and he’s looking at her innocently, acting like he didn’t want to hug her tight right now, but he does.She walked after Porter to the elevator. She heard Porter sigh hard and looked at her.“Are you nervous?” He asked her.She nodded slightly. “I don’t know what to report.” She replied. For the first time in her life, she is getting wacked on a simple casual presentation. God knows that she&rsqu
