Prologue
CHAPTER ONE - THE FIRST MEETING
(jennycho made this! Thanks for this bb!)
I blinked my eyes as I stared at Mr. Cho, who, to my surprise, looks so young! All thoughts of him being this old pervert were then thrown to the trashbin. I don't know how he did it, but his gray alluring orbs made me feel like I'm magnetized to it. It's beautiful, but sad. Somehow, I had the sudden urge to replace it with happiness.
"Mr. Lee?" he snapped me from my trance. And that voice... oh that voice. It's so low and husky! My inner godde- god... goddess... whatever. My inner self woke up from he- HIS sleep and quickly stood up, his eyes sparkling mischievously.
Not wanting to add another to the list of my embarrassing moments, I regained my composure and stood up straight, clearing my throat before managing to find my voice and speak. "Y-Yes, Mr. Cho. T-Thank you." Why am I stuttering? That is just so great, Lee Sungmin.
He smiled. Oh fuck, he freaking smiled at me! My subconscious just melted. Don't worry, he'll be back to normal any minute from now.
"I'm Cho Kyuhyun. Would you like to sit?" he extended an arm to a chair located in front of his desk as he walked to his own seat. I gulped before nodding and sitting on the chair he pointed at.
While he was still busy fixing the papers on his desk, I took that chance to observe him. He's tall and slim, but his chest is, well, nice. His eyes are slightly round, nose is perfectly chiseled, brown curly hair is stylishly messed, and his lips are thick and kissable… wait, did I just say it’s kissable?! Oh great, my inner god is judging me so hard right now. Oh well, I admit that he’s really attractive. Really attractive… much to my liking.
“Actually,” I started, cursing mentally for still stuttering. “I am not Lee Donghae. H-He’s got a terrible cold, so he can’t make it today… and I am his stand-in… if that is okay with you, Mr. Cho…” I bit my lips as I gripped my pink, yes pink, iPhone tight. There is something on his eyes that makes me edgy when he stares at me. It’s as if he is looking through my soul.
“Oh, and you are?” he asked, his voice showing amusement. His facial expression still looked formal and polite, of course.
“Lee Sungmin. I’m Hae… uh, Lee Donghae’s roommate…” He just nodded as a response, but there’s a slight grin on his face. It’s kind of… cute… I admit. Gee, if this man is over thirty, what do you call me, then? Why do I have to be sleeping when God showered handsomeness on Earth?
My eyes accidentally caught a glimpse on the shelf near the windows; a shelf of different, and not to mention, terribly expensive wines. So, Mr. Cho loves wine as well, huh. I’m glad we have something in common. And why is my inner god grinning?
“They’re exceptional wines from Europe. Those babies are in a limited edition, so only I have those wines here in Korea,” he said, noticing what caught my attention.
“Wow. That’s amazing. I never tasted something like that…” I unconsciously said in awe. I may have the life of an average guy and have tasted different kinds of wine already, but I never really experienced drinking rare wines. They must taste lovely.
“Maybe we could work that out?” he said jokingly, well, in my opinion. Hopefully, he is not joking. But hopefully, he is not flirting with me… because he is obviously flirting with me! And now I’m blushing. Great.
As much as I want to have that privilege of drinking those babies - just as what he calls them - I am here for business. And business is business. He knows that.
I heaved a sigh before I placed my phone on his desk, eyeing him cautiously when he looked at me curiously. “Sorry, I really am not used to this… d-do you mind?” shit, this is totally awkward! I will make Donghae supply me bubble teas for a week.
He smirked. Holy cow, it’s so sexy. It’s the sexiest I ever saw. “No, I don’t mind. You look like you’re going to cry any second now.” Me? Cry? Am I too obvious? I’m getting nervous here, and he’s teasing me?
“Uhm, did Hae - I mean, Donghae-ssi explain what the interview is for?”
“Yes. It’s for the school news student paper since I’ll be present at the graduation ceremony.” He calmly answered as he plopped his elbows on his desk and clasped his hands under his chin. Oh, wow, someone as young as him will present me my degree! I now assume that he is young, okay.
“I see,” I nodded and glanced at the paper Hae gave me. “Erm, I have some questions, Mr. Cho.”
“I kind of guessed that,” he remarked, chuckling. I bit my lips while I sat properly to look a bit more professional - my outfit didn’t help, actually. I started throwing the questions to him after I pressed the record button on my phone. He answers some of my questions coolly, but I admit that I am not amused of his answers; he is too arrogant.
Everything for him is money, business and control. He is such a control freak - always wanting things done his way.
As embarrassing as it is for me to admit this, I made lots of mistakes because of me not doing some research before going here. It's like going to a war with no enough weapons for you to live. The only thing I liked among his answers was the part where he admitted his love for games. I believe that his heart was the one talking rather than his overly biggety brain.
Another thing, he seemed to love teasing me. Whenever I make errors on my questions or statements, he would laugh at me and throw snarky comments. Seriously, he acts like a kid! Everytime he flashes that mischievous grin of his matched with his intense stares, I find it difficult to be at ease. I just can't look straight at his gray eyes.
"Are you gay?" Honestly, it took me seconds before I realized what I have just read on Hae's questions. As Mr. Cho raised an eyebrow at me, I flushed and got back to the paper. Oh how I wished for the ground to swallow me.
"I-I'm sorry. T-That was what is written..."
I tried glancing back up at him, only for my eyes to fall back on my fidgeting fingers due to his stares again.
"You didn't make those?"
"Y-Yes. Donghae-ssi did..."
"Why are you here again?" His tone is not mad, but playful - in my opinion. I answered, anyways, "Donghae-ssi got sick-"
"So you volunteered?" Do I look like I volunteered? I bit my lips.
"N-Not really... much more like it's out of impulse..." I dared to look at him once again, and weirdly, I saw him frowning, that pair of dark orbs were like shooting daggers at me. He must be mad right now.
"What do you think, Mr. Lee? Do you think I am gay?" My eyes widened at that question, and I surely felt heat on my cheeks. Yes, you are gay. I want you to be gay. Oh, shut up, Sungmin.
To my relief, someone knocked on the door, making Mr. Cho curse under his breath and groan, his low voice showing irritation, "Come in."
The blondie who told me to come in earlier appeared, her head bowed, cringing when the CEO loudly hissed, "Can't you see I'm still talking to Mr. Lee?!" Oh my holy bunny, he is really angry. Poor employee.
Goldilocks - well, her hair is yellow - bowed a bit lower, her pitch slightly raising due to panic, "I am sorry, Mr. Cho, but you have a meeting in thirty minutes."
"Cancel it."
I glanced to him in disbelief, butting in, "I don't want to delay you on something important, Mr. Cho," Hell, I want to get out already, can't you see?
"No, it's okay. It's not that important, actually," he said with that gorgeous smile as he dismissed Goldilocks. "So, Sungmin-ssi, do you already have any plans after graduation?" Wow, I kind of like the way my name goes out from his mouth. It sounds... sensual.
My inner god, who is already half-healed, liquified again.
"I haven't really thought of that, actually..." It feels awkward that he asked me this.
"We offer excellent internship here." Is he just telling me to work here? Hell no. Like I said earlier, I never imagined myself being here.
I pulled off my best smile, hoping that he would drop the topic, "Thank you for the offer, but I'll think of it first."
"Okay. You're free to come if ever you finally decided to enter here."
I nod. Should I show him off my aegyo? He might rape me. He still looks like a pervert to me.
He heavily sighed as he nodded, leaning his body to the chair's backrest. I accidentally landed my gaze on his long fingers which were playing with his fountain pen, and found myself gaping at it. He is obviously a gamer.
"Do you mind me showing you around the building?" he suddenly spoke, making me almost jerk on my seat and tear my gaze away from his heave- fingers. Fortunately, I was able to hear him.
"Oh, there's no need, Mr. Cho. Thank you, but I still have classes later..." That was a lie. I don't have any classes every Saturday.
"I see," wait, was he disappointed? Dream on, Sungmin. "So, have you asked everything?"
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Cho." I said as I stood up and picked up my iPhone. He stood up as well and held up an arm, his lanky fingers stretched, offering me a handshake which I nervously accepted while bowing and saying thank you again.
"It was fun meeting you, Sungmin-ssi." Did I hear it right? Shouldn't it be nice, not fun? I just ignored it and thought that this is one of his jokes.
As I made my way to the door, I was shocked when he opened it for me and gestured for me to go out first. Geez, he's treating me like a girl.
I chose to smile and bow before I went out, repeating those actions of mine to the group of blondes who assisted me earlier.
Another astounding moment for me was when a warm cloth was wrapped on me, which is actually my pink jacket. But the thing is, it was Mr. Cho who put those on me! Shit, I can't control my heartbeat.
He even accompanied me to the elevator and watched me step inside the car.
He smiled at me before the doors closed and said, "Sungmin."
"Kyuhyun..."
However, he didn't hear it.
I unconsciously brought my hand up and smelled it, my heart beating uncontrollably as Kyuhyun's scent lingered on my nose.
TO BE CONTINUED
-unbeta'ed.
-this is the exact scene that is in the novel, but I changed the lines and didn't include much of Ana/Sungmin's interview with Christian/Kyu.
-I just declared this as a chaptered one since I think it will be hard to fit the scenes in a few chapters.
-there will be longer chapters next time, okay? I promise hehe
-so, how was it so far? :)))
