Close To You 5

The next day is the weekend.

It was already ten in the morning, Jin is cleaning the garage when the mansion's security guard called him, saying that someone is looking for him outside.

Jin stopped what he's doing.

'Who could it be?' He asked himself as he walks to the gate.

Jin got out of the gate, and he was a bit stunned when he saw Margaux standing outside, she is holding a box of cookies.

"Margaux?" Jin blurted out in surprise!

Margaux who was looking on her shoes lifted her head. She then looked at Jin's direction.

Margaux instantly revealed a smile as soon as she saw Jin!

"Hey," She greeted him.

Jin approaches Margaux, " What are you doing here?" He asked with his knitted brows.

"Ah,..." Margaux bit her lip as she tried to find for an alibi.

"I..." She gulped before she continued, "I had a delivery in your neighborhood, " She said.

"And how did you know I live here?" Jin asked.

"I..."

"I just heard it from our classmates," She lied.

The truth was, she followed Jin yesterday!

Meanwhile, upstairs, Yumi got ready to leave, it's weekend, so, she's planning to go shopping.

Yumi checked her self in the mirror.

She is wearing a combination of white and gray high neck, shirred trim, lantern sleeve, above the knee chiffon dress, paired with her expensive brand of a small black sling bag and white high heeled shoes which made her looked taller. Her hair is curled, She is not wearing any make but she still looked pretty.

Yumi flicked her finger when she felt satisfied with her look. She then headed downstairs, she walks to the garage and rode in her car, "To the shopping mall," Yumi said to Japhet.

Yumi is in a good mood, but it instantly changed when she saw Jin outside the Alcantara residence, talking to a girl!

"Wait, stop !" Yumi instantly said with her gaze at Jin and the girl he is talking to,

Japhet stepped on the braked as soon as he heard Yumi.

Yumi looked outside the car, she watches Jin and the girl but it only made her annoyed seeing him with another girl!

Especially every time that girl smiled at Jin, it seems like she is flirting on him!

What made her feel more annoyed is seeing Jin enjoying his conversation with the girl!

" Wait for me here!" Yumi said to Japhet as she opened the car.

Yumi got off the car and she walks towards Jin and the girl.

Yumi tried her best not to catch their attention.

"So, you live here," Yumi heard the girl said.

"Yeah, but this is not my house," Jin replied.

"My mother and I work here," He added. He is not ashamed of telling Margaux his status!

"Oh, I see..." Margaux said as she smiles.

"This..." Yumi mumbled as she twitched her mouth, she is also a girl, and with just one look, she can tell that this girl likes Jin but she won't allow it!

'Nope, Jin shouldn't look at another girl!'

With that thought, Yumi tried to think of a way to interrupt these two people!

"Brother Jin!"

Jin and Margaux stopped talking when they heard that sweet and soft voice coming to them.

The two of them turned their heads in one direction and there, they saw Yumi.

Yumi revealed a sweet smile, as she walks closer to Jin and the girl.

Yumi cling her arms into Jin's arm, "Why are you here outside?" she asked sweetly with her sweet smile as if she wasn't being rude to Jin.

Jin just knitted his brows as he looked at Yumi, 'Wait, what's with her?!' He asked himself.

It's just odd that Yumi is being sweet, which is unusual to him!

Margaux stared at the girl who had just arrived and she secretly studied her,

The girl has a thin and tall nose.

Her hazel brown hair matches her fair skin.

Double eyelids, thick and long lashes, red and pouty lips, and her face is small, actually, she is as pretty as a doll and her dress completed her doll-like look.

'But, who is this girl?' Margaux asked her self as her gaze fell into the pretty girl's clingy arms.

'Why she seems close to Jin?'

'They don't seem to be brothers and sisters tho!'

'Something is not right!'

'This girl's sweetness seems to be different!

'Could it be that...'

Margaux froze when she realized something!

'Could she be a love rival?!'

"Oh, so, you have a guest!" Yumi said when she turned her gaze to Margaux (as if she hasn't seen her a while ago, )

Margaux snapped back to her senses, "Huh?!"

"So, would you like to introduce her to me?" Yumi asked Jin,

"Ah, " Jin snapped back to his senses, " She is Margaux, a classmate of mine, " Jin said.

"Margaux, this is---"

"Yumi Alcantara, " Yumi cut Jin's word,

She stretched her hand to shake hands with Margaux.

"Ah, hi!" Margaux took Yumi's hand.

"So, you were classmates, " Yumi said meaningfully.

"Uh, Y-Yes, we are, and..." Margaux looked at Yumi from head to toe,

Yumi understands Marguax's look, "Oh!" she blurted out as if she remembers something.

"We live here together, " She said meaningfully.

Jin was a bit stunned!

Anyone who hears Yumi could misunderstand her word!

Margaux was stunned too, but she did not make it obvious, "You... live... together?" She repeated in shock.

" Yes!" Yumi replied instantly!

"Ah, " Jin doesn't know what to say!

"So you mean, you were relatives?" Margaux's wants to make it sure.

"It's---" Jin wanted to say a word but Yumi won't let him speak!

"Nope!" Yumi replied as she shook her head.

This time, she tightened her grip into Jin's arm.

"We are not relatives but we live in the same house!" Yumi repeated. She wants it to sink into this girl's mind that she shouldn't hope to be with Jin!

Margaux felt like she lost her strength when she heard Yumi's word!

She almost dropped her box of cookies!

Yumi secretly smirked inside, 'She hopes that this girl would know where to place her self!'

"Ah, I-Its not what you---" Jin tried to speak again but Yumi interrupted him again!

"Oh!" Yumi interrupted Jin again.

"What's inside the box?!" She asked with her gaze on the box that Margaux is holding.

Margaux looked down on the box of cookies in her hand.

"It's... It's a box of cookies..." She replied.

"Oh..." Yumi nodded her head.

"Are you selling those?" She asked again, but she did not wait for Margaux to answer.

"Brother Jin, did you order those cookies?" Yumi turned her head to Jin.

She is now wearing her cutest expression, like an innocent child asking a question.

"..."

Jin is speechless!

The Young Miss is acting oddly, and he doesn't like this!

He knew she's up into something!

"Why did you order cookies?" Yumi asked again.

"As to what I remember, you don't like sweets! "

Jin furrowed his brows as he throws Yumi a meaningful questioning look!

"W-What?" Margaux looked up to Yumi when she heard her last words, "He doesn't like sweets?" she asked.

Yumi pursed her lips as she looked at Margaux with her innocent look, " Ennn..." She nodded.

" I remember, he brought the same box of cookies the other day but he did not eat them, he just threw them in the garbage, "

Margaux's world collapse as she heard Yumi!

"Hey, hey, hey!" Jin rebuked Yumi!

"I didn't throw them!" He defended himself.

"Hey, how could you lie like that?"

"I even saw you with my own eyes!" Yumi acted annoyed.

Jin looked at Yumi in disbelief!

'How could this girl tell a lie without feeling guilty?!'

"I- I thought you tasted it, " Margaux said in a faint voice as she looked at Jin.

*Gasp!*

Yumi pretended to be surprised!

"Omo! Don't tell me...Those cookies..." Yumi looked at Margaux with her eyes wide opened,

"Margaux, I..."

Ugh! Jin doesn't know what to say!

He lied to her in the first place!

He should have told her that he wasn't able to taste the cookies when she asked him the other day!
