Chapter 3: One Rainy Night
Yi Jung parked in front of his lavish house. Ga Eul took Yi Jung's hand as he helped her out of the car. She pulled down on her dress with her free hand and he was thank full for that. They stepped inside and his maids greeted him at the door.
"Where is my mother" he asked them.
"She is at an art auction and said not to expect her tonight. She has an early flight for Hong Kong tomorrow so she was going to spend the night at a hotel near the airport" one of them answered bowing.
"Very well, thank you" he said and then remembered Ga Eul, "Oh could you please set up one of the extra rooms for Miss Ga Eul?"
"We can't" one of them spoke up timidly.
"Sorry, what?" he asked confused as Ga Eul feared how this night was going to end up.
"Your mother has taken the bed out of the extra rooms to make room for the art pieces you needed for the new exhibit next month. The only rooms untouched are yours and your mother's" the maid said quietly.
"Oh yes" he said putting his hand to his forehead, "I completely forgot, no matter bring up some extra bedding to my room please".
"Right away" she said dismissing herself.
Yi Jung looked back at Ga Eul and he wanted nothing more than to take her into his arms and give her that kiss that was long overdue but instead he said,
"Come on".
Ga Eul followed Yi Jung up stairs and entered his bedroom. The middle of the room was occupied with a king sized bed with fluffy white sheets and pillows. The room was surrounded with soft colors and art. He had a couple of his pieces around the room on top of bookshelves stuffed with books and photo frames. She timidly walked forward but something about the room made her feel comfortable so she took her black heels off and let out a breath of relief.
"Where your feet hurting?" he asked looking at her.
"Not that much, just a little hard to get used to" she smiled, "I can take the couch downstairs" she quickly said.
"No, of course not" he said loosening his tie and throwing it on the chair by his desk, "You can take my bed and I will take the floor besides my mother did not pick out those couches to be slept on, they are the most uncomfortable things I have ever felt".
"I don't want you to sleep on the floor" she gently said, "Your back will hurt"
He would rather they both sleep on the bed but he could not suggest such a thing.
"No, don't worry about me, now as for sleeping clothes, I take it you don't want to sleep in your dress but the best I can offer you is my one of my shirts" he said regretting it instantly, thinking about how irresistible she would look in his shirt but it was too late as she said,
"Sure" with a smile.
He went to his closet and opened the dual doors and stepped inside. He looked around to see which shirt he could give her. He did not have very many tee shirts and they were not very long either so he walked towards his dress up shirts. He found a white one with blue stripes that looked longer than the rest so he come out and closed the doors. He stopped in his tracks looking at Ga Eul, who was taking out the bobby pins from her long hair and as she gently ran her fingers through her curly hair, making it soft and delicate; he thought to himself why he had been so stupid before. Why hadn't he made her his own when he had the chance? Instead he focused all his energy on a childhood crush and now Ga Eul had met somebody else. He shrugged and walked towards her.
"Here you go" he said smiling handing her the shirt.
"Oh, are you sure it's okay? I don't want to ruin your nice shirt" she said, her big eyes looking up at him with just the shirt in between them.
"Umm, yeah" he said finding it hard to speak.
"Okay" she smiled and took the shirt.
He took a deep breath as she headed for the bathroom to change. He turned around and took off his jacket laying it on the chair; he stood there for a minute and finally got his thoughts together and unbuttoned his shirt. He was left with just his white sleeveless t shirt and black pants.
"Yi Jung Sunbea?" Ga Eul called his name and his head snapped up.
"Is everything alright?" he asked concerned rapidly walking to the bathroom door.
"Yeah fine, I just can't get my dress zipper down" she said opening the door with a frustrated look on her face.
He swallowed hard and said,
"Do you want me to do it?" Why was he getting nervous? He had done this a million times before with many different girls but she was not just any girl.
Her cheeks flushed but she kept her composure and she said,
"Please" as she turned around so he could reach the zipper.
He walked forward and gently pulled the zipper down revealing her smooth skin inch by inch. He traced the zipped with his hand and goose bumps ran down her back. All he could think about the black bra clasp that just showed up and before he did something reckless her stopped at the point where she could reach it herself.
"Okay" he said walking out of the bathroom.
Ga Eul immediately felt the absence of his heat near her but she shook her head realizing that she was probably being ridiculous. She closed the door as she took of her dress and slipped on Yi Jung's long sleeve shirt. She wrapped her arms around herself; even though the shirt was freshly pressed, it still smelled like Yi Jung's cologne.
She finally dropped her arms and decided she had been in there for enough time. She opened the door slowly and walked out to the room.
"I am done with the bathroom, if you need to use it" she said him noticing he was making the floor ready for himself.
He turned to look at her and froze in place. The shirt was long but not long enough; it stopped pretty high on thighs and the bagginess made it all the more irresistible.
"You okay?" she asked, he had not moved since she come out of the bathroom.
He cleared his throat and said,
"Fine, we should try and get some sleep".
Ga Eul nodded as she looked outside and the storm did not seem to be stopping, it was now thundering and she crawled into his huge king size bed and released her body into the comfortable mattress.
Yi Jung turned down the lights and they laid in darkness for a while until Ga Eul said,
"Are you sure you are okay on the floor?"
"You worry too much" he said from the floor.
"I feel bad, you did not have to do this, I could have just gone to a hotel" she said.
"Don't be ridiculous" he said, "Now get some sleep".
"Okay, thank you and goodnight" she said.
"Night" he said.
4am….
Ga Eul thrashed in bed, her bad dream continued. She was being chased by three men in black masks. She ran until she could not run anymore and she fell on the ground, breathing heavily as the men dragged her to a room with a man sitting on a chair. Suddenly she felt a warm hand on her arm, lightly shaking her, Yi Jung voice could be heard breaking the dream down.
"Ga Eul wake up, wake up it's just a dream" he said and she finally snapped her eyes open to see his starring back at her. She took deep breaths and looked around the room and remembered that she was at Yi Jung's house.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked.
"Umm yeah, just a bad dream I guess" she said but she slightly jumped when she heard the thunder outside, "I am sorry I woke you up" she looked at him sympathetically.
"It is quite alright, stop apologizing" he said sitting on the bed next to her.
She took another deep breath and laid down holding her head.
"Do you need water or anything" he asked.
"Umm no but can you do me a favor?" she asked.
"Yeah, anything"
"Can you sleep in the bed with me? It's big enough and I would feel better if you were next to me" she said looking at him pleadingly.
"Sure" he said hoarsely, knowing it was a bad idea because now there would be nothing between them.
He got into bed as she moved to the left and made room for him. She unconsciously moved to the middle of the bed and when Yi Jung turned around from setting an alarm clock, they were inches apart.
"Thank you for everything" she whispered to him as he lost all control and moved closer to her.
It was dark but she could clearly see his face and her breathing became irregular with every inch he moved closer to her. Finally the moment they had both been waiting for was there. He covered her lips with his gently. Their sweet first kiss turned into a passion that had been within both of them for a long time and Yi Jung traced her lips with his tongue pleading for her to allow him in and she did so without any protest. She felt Yi Jung hover over her in bed as their kiss deepened and he reached under her shirt and wrapped his hands around her small waist. He never wanted to let her go but he was not sure if he could control himself tonight if she did not stop him and it did not seem like either of them wanted anything to stop.
