I could never overstate how happy I felt when Jeon asked to walk me home after that coffee.
I know it was irresponsible of me to just accept such an offer from someone who was pretty much a stranger to me, but as he stood up and smiled down at me politely, I realised that I didn't need any other reason to agree to his request other than the obvious one.
I couldn't deny that I was totally smitten by him and If by any chance he somehow turned out to be some kind of a Korean version of Jack the ripper, I still wouldn't mind being murdered by someone who was so bloody gorgeous.
As we walked along in silence, I couldn't help but steal a few glances at him just to confirm if he was really native Korean or not.
I know that could totally sound kind of racist to some people, but then again, he was way taller than most Asian men I knew of and he also had this exotic type of attractiveness that had me wondering if he was perhaps mixed with so many different races or something like that. Not that any of that mattered anyway because he was still beautiful and I was having a difficult time fighting several urges to just stare at him forever.
After we finally got to my place, Bona my friend and flatmate looked totally shocked to see me turn up at our home with a strange man next to me. I knew this because I know how her pretty eyes narrow whenever something catches her by surprise and it really is quite cute, but she quickly recovered and bowed slightly in a simple hello as she politely asked our unusual guest inside for some tea.
Lee Bo na could be an absolute doll whenever she wanted to be, but she could also be very noisy and annoyingly inquisitive sometimes. So I knew better than to believe she only asked our guest inside out of common courtesy. It was more of a way for her to have a better look at him and then bombard me with a hundred questions afterwards about who he was, and where I had met him from. But much to both our disappointments, he politely declined that offer.
He said he only offered to walk me home because he wanted to make sure I was safe which was a pretty lame excuse considering I wasn't in any particular danger to begin with. But I didn't comment on it and just bowed politely to show gratitude to him for getting me home in one piece.
After he left, Bo na swarmed me with a million questions just like I expected she would. The problem was, I found out too late that I didn't know much about him either. I was so happy about that walk that I even fogort to get any contact information and that meant he would forever remain a stranger to me.
I couldn't believe that I just missed an opportunity to know the man whose eyes were so beautiful they could make any heart fly.
I woke up to the most beautiful sound of classical music that was coming from somewhere downstairs and I didn't need to go down and check on who had suddenly invaded my home and turned it into some sort of major concerto to know that jeon's fiance, Kristal had graced our humble abode with her beautiful presence that morning.Although it was most likely that she came in during the night and slept over like she usually did on weekends when her man wasn't caught up with some unavoidable meeting or important project or whatever it is company heirs did on busy weekends. Though I honestly wasn't too sure either since I was pretty much passed out for most of the night from my usual weekend partying.But how she came in, didn't really matter because now I had to figure out how I was going to navigate through yet another day of watching
The lovely smell of brewing coffee was simply the most intoxicating scent to me that I couldn't wait to get a cup for myself as I sat waiting for it at the same coffee shop where I had met jeon several days back. I do admit that this was probably the most pathetic idea I had ever come up with in my life, but that knowledge didn't stop me from going by the same coffee shop a few more times than usual with hopes that I might miraculously run into him again like it happens in movies. But that was my seventh time there, and I was yet to realize that Hollywood dream.After a few minutes of waiting anxiously for my coffee, a boyish looking waiter came and served me my espresso for which I thanked him with a polite smile. But it turned out he wasn't exactly the smiling type, because he didn't bother returning it, instead he just bowe
A sudden feel of soft feminine hands on my bare skin was all it took to pull me out of my deep slumber and even before I could understand what the hell was going on, the hands in question had curled up around my waist in a tight hold and pulled me closer to a naked body that lay underneath the sheets.It only took that much time for me to come to my senses because, I was too tired from overworking myself trying to help my brother out on some work he had been keeping untouched in his room for weeks. And yes, I know am a snob when it comes to anything work related, but it was obvious that he was in dire need of help considering he had his normal job to do and also had to deal with the new construction of a department store on the beautiful island of Jeju. I usually don't bother with Jeon when it comes to his job because he is on
I don't know how long I stood there staring at him from across the street. I was really looking forward to seeing this man again and I didn't even know how much until he was right there in front of me, looking just as gorgeous as he did the last time I saw him.He was dressed in blue jeans, a grey head sock and an orange coloured sweater that was way too big for him. The mixture of colors was actually horrible and anyone else would have looked like a fashionless bimbo in that outfit, but he somehow managed to pull it off and actually looked quite handsome in it. He was sitting all by himself at one of the tables out on the Terrance with a steaming mug of some hot beverage that I couldn't make out from where I was standing and his attention totally fixed on his laptop screen like his life depended on it.
In the few weeks following the Jeju project's commencement, work pilled up at the office so much that, even I had no choice but to spend all my time moving up and down with a thousand things to do. so the one Sunday I managed to get off work was such a blessing to me that I gladly decided to just sleep in and lazy around for the whole day.Unfortunately for me however, that Sunday just happened to be the same day Kristal decided to start up with her wedding things. She had received a message from her wedding planner the night before, informing her of the arrival of her dress and jeon's tux. Apparently they were supposed to go there for a fitting as a couple. But since Jeon is a certified workaholic, he was no where in sight that day, leaving me to suffer his fate because I was the walking, breathing replica of him.
The persistent knock on my front door woke me up from my troubled slumber and I groaned at the rude disturbance because whoever this person was, just about ruined the little sleep I managed to get after my almost sleepless night that was as the result of my not so romantic encounter with my crush the night before.My head was pounding so bad and I was sure my eyes were bloody red and puffy from the few tears I shed here and there during most of that night.I knew I was being a little unrealistic failing for a guy I barely knew, but like everybody else in the world, I too didn't have control over my feelings however stupid they may be and jeon's dismissive attitude had shuttered my delicate little heart and so yeah I cried a little bit. Sue me.I tried to ignore th
I woke up to a stinging headache on the eve of my brother's wedding. This was as a result of the lack of sleep I experienced while having to help the spoiled bride on her numerous wedding preparations the night before.I really didn't understand why she had to hire a wedding planner if she was going to fuss about everything herself and then have me run around like her little errand boy for every little thing anyway. But then again, my lack of sleep could also have been as a result of my realization that, I only had one more night before I get to finally lose Kristal to my brother forever.One last day and I was going to have to make a vow to forever hold my peace and not say anything or give a hint of my raw and intense feelings for her. They were moments when th
In a short period of 20 minutes, I had managed to change into three different outfits and check myself in the mirror countless times but still found that, I didn't like any of those outfits. It was ridiculous to say the least, and I was too old to be acting like a school girl on her very first date just because Jeon suggested on an outing with me around the island. But if I was being honest with myself, I would totally admit to the fact that, ever since he decided to be friends with me all those weeks ago, I couldnt help but fall hard for his gentle character and amazing good looks. Infact, I liked him so much that I had to stop myself from telling him just how much on several different occasions. It got even worse when, he would innocently smile in my face and cause total commotion from the butterflies in my stomach. So his
