The following day, Yoon Eun Hye went out to do her usual errands. Buy some things here, pay for something there. All in the day of a busy woman. Sometimes, it's like she has no time for relaxation anymore.
That very day, while she was running some errands, a friend of hers called her up.
"Hey! Are you busy?" asked Kate, her best friend. Eun Hye cocked her head to the side and rubbed her aching neck. "Sort of. I've got a lot of things to do and I don't know if I can accomplish them all within this day. Why'd you call?"
"Oh nothing…"Kate said in a leisurely manner. "Just checking on my best friend. Also, I wanted to tell you that I got some time on my hands. Maybe Jake, Min Ji, you and I could go to the bar to have some drinks, dance a bit. I don't know. Just to unwind or something. I know you've been busy for quite some time but I just wanna spend some time, we just want to spend some time with you because you've been hiding from us. I think someone's not in the mood." Kate grabbed her bag of Cheetos and munched away, awaiting Eun Hye's reply.
"Well, we haven't hung out in a while so I guess I could spare some of my time for you guys. I miss you and MinJi too."
"How about Jake? Don't you miss him?" asked Kate teasingly. Eun Hye just smiled and giggled a bit.
"Well I do. But what's up with the tone of your voice?" Eun Hye said as she plopped down on the couch, exhausted and deep in thought.
"Nothing. Just that you and Jake used to like each other but now you're just really good friends. Kinda brings back memories. Say, what are you up to tonight, really?"
"Nothing. I think my work should be done by night. Maybe I'll go with you guys. We haven't partied in a while." A wide smile was painted on Kate's face.
"Marvelous! So I'll come to your house at around 8. Get ready. This night'll be fun!" Kate hang up and so did Eun Hye. She rested her head on the couch's armrest and fell asleep in the process. The day just wore her out.
-COME EIGHT-
Eun Hye was already for the big night out with her friends. She wore a blue mini dress with a plunging neckline and a bare-back backside. She adorned herself with jewelries and tied her hair in a messy bun, like what she wore the previous day. Same as her body and dress, she adorned her hair with jewelries and after slipping on the high heels that Kate gave her. Once she was ready, she walked out of the room and waited for her friend in her lobby. A few minutes later, she heard a car's engine outside her house and peered through. Yep. It was Kate's car and Eun Hye went dashing outside, bangles making noise once more and entered Kate's car.
"Hey! It's been a long while, ain't it?" asked Kate gleefully giving her best friend smelling kisses and a hug. "How you doing?"
"I'm good. Where's Jake and MinJi?" Eun Hye glanced around the car looking for them. "I thought they were coming?"
" They went ahead. They're at the bar and I think they already reserved our seats and bought us some drinks. Anyways, let's go and have some fun." Kate said enthusiastically. Eun Hye smiled slightly and looked down, giving a sigh. Kate noticed the blue look on her friend's face and frowned with concern.
"Is everything okay? You look quite weak." Kate touched her friend's neck and forehead to check if she has a fever. Luckily, Eun Hye is well.
"I'm kinda tired because of all the work that I've been doing. I've been running errands since this morning and I'm sort of stressed out. But I'll be okay in a while. Thanks for trying to cheer me up, though. I really appreciate it." Eun Hye smiled. Kate beamed in return and continued to drive. They reached the bar a good 5 minutes late.
-AT THE BAR-
Coincidentally, Leeteuk was at the bar downing 5 to how many more bottles. Kate and Eun Hye arrived at the bar and the sight and scent of the beautiful woman caught Leeteuk's attention. Upon entering, the drunken man whipped his head around and caught a glimpse of the woman he's been obsessing over. . Eun Hye caught sight of the man and looked away immediately, recalling their awkward moment a few days ago. Their eyes met once more when Eun Hye looked back. She then realized that he never took his eyes off her. Eun Hye began acting weird, tripping and blurting incoherent things.
"What's wrong?" Kate noticed the strange behavior that she was exhibiting.
"Nothing. Just that the music's turned way up high and it makes me dizzy." Eun Hye said rubbing her head, pretending to not feel well. "I got culture shocked that's all. Haven't been visiting bars in a while."
Eun Hye sat with her friends at the table. Jake and MinJi greeted her but Jake was more than just glad to see her.
"You haven't hung with us in a while. You're really pretty now. What kept you busy?" asked Jake after shaking her hand and handing the drink that he bought for her.
"Thanks." she said rubbing her head. "Say, someone told me that you used to like me. That true?" she tried to form a coherent sentence despite not being in a decent state of mind. Jake turned red and as Kate and MinJi looked at Jake with wide grins, he scuffed his hair and laughed.
"Well. You're one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen." Jake said with a shy smile. "So yeah. You know!" Eun Hye just giggled instead of reprimanding him. "That's okay. I think you're cute, though." Jake smiled even more. He took a roll of paper with something *supposedly* written on it and stood up. "Eun Hye, see this roll of paper?" he showed it to her and to them. "I wrote something on it and rolled it this way. Allow me to dedicate this song to you." Jake stood up and walked towards the bar singer who was begging the crowd to request some songs for her to sing. Jake gave the paper to her and the singer took it from him, rolling it out and reading.
"Request from Jake. Dedicated to Yoon Eun Hye. Title: Bette Davis Eyes. " Leeteuk heard this and smirked.
"Asshole." he thought. "That girl is mine." With that, he continued to stare at Eun Hye who was sitting with her chin resting on the palm of her hand, looking prettier than ever.
With a few arrangements, the singer began to sing the requested song. This made Leeteuk stare at Eun Hye even more.
Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips are sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis Eyes
She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She's got Bette Davis Eyes
Before the chorus starts, Leeteuk mentally molested Eun Hye using his eyes. He eyed her from head to toe, staring at her neck, her breasts that were almost revealed by the blue dress, her legs and her back. Perverted thoughts began flooding his brain and before he knew it, he was staring too long that he nearly got caught.
And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious and she knows
Just what it takes to make a pro blush
She's got, Greta Garbo's stand off sighs
She's got Bette Davis Eyes.
Okay so Eun Hye doesn't have Bette Davis' Eyes but what Leeteuk was really feeling about the song was the message or the main theme of the piece. About a woman's tantalizing beauty and the magic that she carries with her wherever she goes. That's what Eun Hye has that Leeteuk wants. Her captivating beauty. He wants to have her but it's a task that seems very impossible, especially for someone like him who stands absolutely no chance at a girl like her. Unless…
She'll let you take her home
It wets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne
She's got Bette Davis Eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis Eyes
She'll expose you
When she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs, she throws you
She's ferocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis Eyes.
Jake was dancing (dorkily) and grooving along to the music with Kate and MinJi. He noticed that Eun Hye remained firmly planted on her seat, looking sicker and paler than ever. Something must be wrong, he thought. So he decided to sit down and talk to her.
"Hey. You seem kinda weak. Is there something wrong? Are you sick or something?" Jake asked, concerned about his friend.
"Sorta. Not really. Somehow. Actually…"Eun Hye stood up and took her bag. "I'm not feeling well. I think I may have to go ahead." Jake nodded sheepishly and turned his attention back on his drinks as she walked away from them. Kate and Min Ji noticed that she was walking away and ran after her to stop her.
"Just where do you think you're going?" asked Min Ji, grabbing her by the wrist.
"Listen, girls. I know you took me out for some fun and I appreciate that but please. I'm not feeling…" Yoon Eun Hye looked back and caught Leeteuk whipping his head back to the front, so as not for her to notice that he was staring and actually listening to their conversation. This made her feel even more sick. "I really gotta go. Sorry girls. Tell Jake I said thanks. Thanks for the drinks."
Eun Hye walked out of the bar and upon nearing the exit, her headache got the better of her and made her collapse. Leeteuk was just a few feet away from the exit, which means he saw this. He hurriedly picked the fallen girl up and left the bar. He walked to his car and laid the beautiful woman on the backseat couch of the car before running to the driver's seat and stepping on the pedal.
"Finally!" thought Leeteuk. "The girl's finally mine. I've been waiting for a moment like this and finally it's here. All I have to do is sleep with the girl and go for it when she wakes up." Leeteuk drove all the way to the motel and carried her to the room that he reserved just for the two of them.
Morning came. Eun Hye woke up and looked around. Everything was blurry and nothing was right, so it seemed to Eun Hye. Everything felt wrong and everything was whimsically confusing. But what scared her the most was what she saw when she turned to her left. Eun Hye saw Leeteuk lying beside her. This made her jump out of her skin. But what made her nearly shriek was the sight of Leeteuk sleeping soundly right next to her, one hand on her leg and the other on his chest. Eun Hye tried to free herself from his obviously malicious grasp and ran to the bathroom to wash herself and to hopefully take a shower. The perverted man awoke and saw Eun Hye freshening herself up. Eun Hye saw Leeteuk from the reflection. He was coming closer and as soon as he was near the door, she tried to push him away using it.
"Get out of here!" Eun Hye said. "How'd I end up here anyways?" she continued to scream at him and push him away. Leeteuk forced himself to open the door and communicate with the girl.
"Well stop struggling and I'll tell you." Eun Hye released the door, nearly making Leeteuk stumble. He dusted himself and flipped his hair.
"You fainted at the bar and I carried you all the way here." Leeteuk said sleepily. "I even let you sleep with me!" Eun Hye opened the door, revealing her entire body to him. She was wearing his white jacket and her underwear. The guy's mouth dripped at the sight of her almost-bare body and her long, messy hair covering her breasts up. He just stared until he couldn't take it. He just had to pull her in.
Eun Hye was shocked to hear what Leeteuk had to say. It greatly baffled her.
"See that jacket!" he pointed at the jacket that Eun Hye was wearing. "That jacket is mine. I just gave it to you!"
"What happened really?" Eun Hye asked. Leeteuk smiled and took both sides of her polo and intertwined them to cover her up. Eun Hye was about to slap him as she raised her arm to hit him because of his pervertedness but Leeteuk grabbed her wrist and set it down carefully. He felt her senses in his hand as Eun Hye let her guard down. She shyly looked away and closed the jacket. He took her hand and led her to the hotel room's couch. He sat next to her and smiled.
"Your name?" Eun Hye asked. "It's weird. I feel like a whore. I slept with you without knowing your name."
"Leeteuk." he said with a smile. "You don't need to tell me your name."
"How'd you-"Eun Hye asked
"Did you ever know that you're the most beautiful, ONE of the most beautiful women around? But for me, you're the most beautiful. And yes, everybody knows who you are. With that beautiful face and body of yours! How could they not recognize you?" Eun Hye felt flattered but awkward.
"Well…" she blew some strands of hair that were dangling before her eyes. He brushed some strands away from her face and grazed his finger on her cheek.
"I don't know if I should be asking you this but…" Leeteuk scratched the back of his head and smiled.
"But what?" Eun Hye wondered. Her beautiful eyes staring at him, her long eyelashes batting as she blinks. Leeteuk could feel his temperature rising and this made it harder for him to express his feelings.
"Will…It's too soon." Leeteuk said. Eun Hye furrowed her brows in wonder and confusion.
"What? I can't understand!" she looked down and shook her head. Leeteuk lifted her chin and kissed her cheek. "Can we go out sometime? I really want to get to know you better."
"Uhm." Eun Hye was a bit hesitant at first but said yes. Leeteuk felt his heart beat right through his chest. "I think I could use a new companion. So yeah. I'd love to go out with you."
He grinned and wrapped his arm around her. She smiled sweetly and rested her head on his shoulder. He smiled and gave her a wink before grinning to himself. He was happy about the fact that she was oblivious to his real intentions.
