Chapter 14 - Dinner or Date?
Woo Bin stopped in front of her apartment. Jae Kyung unfastened her seatbelt.
The drive had been a quiet one, with none of them talking and with occasional glances from both of them to each of them.
- You… - both started at the same time. Both smiled.
- You go first. – they repeated. More laughers.
- Then I'll go first. – said Woo Bin, smiling.
- Okay.
His face was serious again. Jae Kyung gulped hard, a little afraid to hear. But, as Jan Di had said, she had to listen and she needed to listen to him.
- I'm sorry… I don't know what got into me to say those things…
- It's… it's okay… - she said, clearly surprised for his honesty. – I know you didn't intend to say those things…
- The thing is… I'm a really jackass… - he sighed, to her surprise. – Most of the time I'm a D. Juan so, sometimes I don't intend to say something but it just flees out of my mouth… and I'm very protective of my friends and my friends friends. So, when you said you intended to look for a person to have kids with I just… freaked out… I mean, you're a friend of a friend so… and there are so much scum guys out there… so I just… well, I worry about you, as a friend of course…
She laughed and smiled at him. He felt the thing roar inside his body again.
- Thank you. For being honest. And my friend too, of course.
She stepped out of the car, closed the door and then turned to the window and said to him:
- You know, I had a complete different idea from you… but the truth is that you're not a jackass or a D. Juan all the time. You can be kind and sweet too, and that's nothing to be ashamed of, you got that?
He was silently staring at her. She flashed him a smile and turned away to enter her building. Woo Bin made the engine roar again. Then he gulped hard.
- Jae Kyung!
She turned around surprised and stared at him, who made the same from inside the car.
- Tomorrow. Dinner at 8o'clok, at "Milan". I'll pick you up at 7. – and with that said, he drove faster away.
Meanwhile, Jae Kyung stared at where the car had been, surprised. Then she laughed and smiled.
- What's with him… asking for dinner like that…? – she mumbled to herself, while entering the building. But still, she had to admit: it was a whole new experience to have a boy inviting her to dinner like that…
The truth was she was pretty enthusiastic about the dinner. As for Woo Bin… well, the proof that he couldn't sleep last night was evident on his face in the morning.
"Today's the day!" he thought, while dressing himself. He was tying his necktie when he stopped, a look of confusion placed in his face and reflected on the mirror; he was dressed up in a pair of black trousers and a white shirt. What was he thinking? And why was he thinking like that? "The day? The day for what? The only thing I'm going to do today is to check out why I feel so attract… no, no! Why I feel like this… so strange! That's the purpose of the dinner… "he said, a smile of comprehension and assurance now on his face. Meanwhile his attention was drawn again to the soft green necktie.
- I can never do this right… - he mumbled, while pulling it off. He was about to start again when he suddenly…
- WHAT THE HELL!!?? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? – he yelled, ripping it from around his neck. He had just remembered. – I NEVER use neckties, why start TODAY?
He was breathing heavily due to the rage he was feeling with himself. How could such a girl do those things with him?
He still had time, after all, it was only…
- 8 in the morning?! What the…?
- Boss. – came the voice of one of his men, outside his room. – Is everything ok?
- Yeah, yeah…
- Are you sure, Boss? It's really early for you to be wake up…
- I know that myself! – Woo Bin said, opening the first two buttons of his white shirt while getting out of the room. The men bowed, respectfully. – But sometimes I… I…
The men were all staring at him, waiting for his answer.
- I couldn't sleep…
- Was it the bed, Boss? Want us to change it?
- No. No, the bed is fine. I just… couldn't sleep…
His men were astonished. They perfectly knew that his master had given strict orders to never be awoken before 12a.m or they would be in trouble. Big trouble!
Woo Bin walked though the long corridors of his mansion, and ended up at the dining room. His father was sitting there, reading the papers.
- Good morning, dad.
- Good morning, Boss! – the men yell.
- Good morning. – was the simple answer from the man that looked so much than an older version of Woo Bin. He was folding the papers when he took a quick glance at the clock. He looked quickly at his son's face, who was already taking his morning coffee. Then he stared again at the clock and at his boy's face once more.
He coughed, to get his attention and, once he had done it he asked:
- What happened to you?
- What are you talking about?
- It's too early for you to be out of bed…
- That's not something that a father should say to his son, is it? – Woo Bin said, with a smirk at his father. The old man merely smiled.
- True. But you're no ordinary son yourself…
Woo Bin made a gesture like he had been hit by a bullet.
- You got me there, dad. What's new?
- Nothing out of the ordinary. The clubs are going great, thank to your management… looks that you have excellent qualities as a night business manager… - his father said, smiling slightly while lifting the cup to his lips.
I do like working at the clubs, dad, and you know that…
- Still… - his father interrupted. – There must be anything else that can make you lose your sleep… other than the business.
- You're not going to let that slip, are you?
His father merely smiled, before saying:
- I'm sorry, son. But the truth is that the last time I saw you acting like this, well…
- Father.
His father faced him, and was surprised by his expression; he was serious and composed, as he had never seen him in a long time.
- This has nothing to do with Lya, ok? She has left my life a long time ago…
- So it's another person? Are you falling for her…
- I'M NOT FALLING! – Woo Bin shouted, visibly troubled.
- Oh… oh, I see… - his father said, smirking. – You're confused, aren't you?
- … - Woo Bin sighed, finnaly. – That's right. I've known her for a… a few… for a few months… and suddenly…
- … - his father eyed him, carefully. The report about his son giving a lift to the brand new CEO of JK Group had already been delivered to him. He wasn't sure it was that girl his son was talking about. But if it was… well, it had to be check.
- I see… well, I'm sorry but I have to go… I'm going to a meeting in Barcelona, and I won't be back for 4 days. You don't have to worry about the company; I've already given orders for them to only bother you in case of extremely and urgent measures.
- Okay. Have a nice flight… and don't break too many Latin hearts… - Woo Bin said, grinning at his father.
- Don't worry, son. That's a chore I'd only left to you… see you when I get back…
Woo Bin was left at the table, finishing his breakfast. Then, one of the men walked to him, carrying a cell phone and said:
- Boss, there is a urgent business for you to attend to…
- What? My father only left, and they are already bugging me…
- No, boss. It's not about the company, or your father's business. It's a lady… she wished to see with you.
- She's on the phone? – Woo Bin asked, looking at the cell phone.
- No boss, she's standing at the entrance. I'm talking with one of our men, out there.
- What's her name and what's her business? – Woo Bin asked, while drinking his coffee.
- Miss Ha Jae Kyung, boss…
Too many things happened at the same time. When Woo Bin first heard her name, he chocked, then spilled half of the coffee on the table. When he calmed down from his cought attack, he placed his hand, accidentally over the butter plate and it felt on the ground.
- Ha… Ha… Ha Jae Kyung? Are you sure?
- Yes, boss. Should we let her in?
- It's okay, it's not necessary anymore. – said a joyfull voice behind them. All the men turned around, their guns pointed to the person that had entered the room. – I'm already in.
Woo Bin slowly turned around to face the owner of the voice he now knew so well.
Jae Kyung was simply standing there, dressed in a short black mini-skirt, with a top in a deep green color that was tied around her neck and black high heels. In her hands there was a huge and thick jacket, folded. All her perfect curves, as Woo Bin was able to see, were perfectly delimited. That woman was going to kill him, if she kept on doing that. Speaking of killing…
- Low your guns. – he said, strongly and clearly. All the man obeyed him. Jae Kyung merely smiled.
- You… what are you doing here? How did you come in?
- That way. – she said, pointing to a window, near the door. – It was open.
- But this is the first floor! How did you get up!?
- I climbed the tree… - she simply stated.
Woo Bin closed his eyes and had to take a deep breath to calm himself, as a image of Jae Kyung in that mini-skirt climbing a tree crossed his mind.
- Are you feeling alright? – came her voice, from really near.
Woo Bin opened his eyes only to have her staring at him, a few inches away from his face. He jolted back, and she giggled. He was completely bewildered by his own actions! He was , for godness sakes!
- Any… anyway… what are you doing here?
- I've come to pick you up.
- Me?
- Yup.
- Why?
- Well, you asked me out for dinner… and I'm asking you out to hang with me today. Do you want to?
Woo Bin stared at her, surprised.
- For the day?
- Yes.
- Where do you want to go, that will last all day?
- Everywhere and nowhere.
- Huh?
- Stop being such a jackass and follow me. Guys, - she said, while pulling a surprised Woo Bin, to the men in the room who were also staring at her in shock. – I'll be taking your boss out. If I were you, I wouldn't follow us. For what I know, he can take really good care of himself. And, - she said, now in a whisper – we might need a few… privacy.
The men in the room all blushed, no exceptions. And from all of them, being dragged around by a crazy girl towards the door, Woo Bin was the most flushed one. He was beyond embarrassed and was silently praying for all that being a nightmare.
Hope you guys like it!
And I'm sorry for the crapy English! I didn't have time to review it so, sorry!
