Chapter 11: Getting Close???

Gwon Jiwoo's Point Of View

I think appa did curse me last night...

I promised yesterday that I'll tell them if I find someone that catches my eye... And now, I think I did?

But he's a man... I dunno, I'm kinda confused? Is it because I'm always in my office that I feel like this when I see someone I don't know??? But this is the first time. Hmmm

He looks so appealing though. Handsome, very.

SU HO: I don't mind if you stay...

JIWOO: oh... If that's what you want then, I'm glad I can be of service. (I smiled at him)

Nice... Maybe I can learn a thing or two about him. Huh, feels weird.

SU HO: is it ok? Aren't you busy?

JIWOO: nope... I had 2 days off from work so it's fine.

Oh my god...

What's with that look?! He's so adorable... That pinkish cheeks and pouting lips just make me want to touch him.

By touch, I mean caress... Uhhh, feel. Damn, what's wrong with me today.

SU HO: really?! (He has these sparkly eyes when he looks at me) yes! I mean... Oh, I mean, cool... Hehe

JIWOO: I'll just call my eomma then, I was supposed to just deliver this. She might be worried. I think I know you haven't eaten yet, so I hope you won't mind if I cook?

Lee Su Ho's Point Of View

Wow... On top of being super handsome, he knows how to cook to?

SU HO: ah... Sure, I don't mind, thanks by the way

JIWOO: what do you like to eat?

SU HO: uhmm well, I was planning to make Kimchi Stew later. But then, I realized I have no kimchi at home. Hehe, so anything's fine.

JIWOO: oh, I see. Ok, wait for me and take a rest, I'll come back once I'm finished...

He winks and then smiles at me...

@$heuend%$!!! Wink + Smile = Me Dead.

SU HO: uhh thanks...

Control it Su Ho!

I waited for him to leave and then...

Ahhh!!!! I lightly screamed at my pillow

What the hell was that! My heart just skipped a beat for heaven's sake! To a man?! I am not supposed to feel like this!

Shit, what do I do now?! I can't believe myself... I trusted him out of pure chance. I need to be careful around him. Maybe he's a reporter? An obsessed fan?! ( yea, I do have male fans) Or a pervert... But he doesn't look like one!!!

No no no... He's just a delivery man, a very handsome delivery man

I'm unbelievable. (I sigh to myself while I cover my whole body with my blanket)

Knock

Knock

Knock

JIWOO: uhmm, excuse me

I raised my blanket to look at him, he's holding a basin with water, and a towel hanging on his shoulder.

JIWOO: for now, let me put this on your forehead to lessen your temperature. Do you have any medicine here?

SU HO: none...

JIWOO: oh ok... Just stay put for a while, I'll be back.

Why is he so caring? He doesn't even know me... Hmm

Oh right! I don't know his name yet... To think of it, he didn't ask for mine either, I don't know if he knows me or not.

But I'm Lee Su Ho?! Who doesn't know me??? Everybody knows me!

What. He's weird. I'll ask him later.

👤👤👤👤👤👤👤👤👤👤👤👤👤👤

Soo Hyun called him mom to ask if she had some kimchi at home.

JIWOO: eomma, do we still have kimchi at home?

EOMMA: yes dear, I made a fresh batch 2 days ago, it should be ready now. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat it later?

JIWOO: ahh no... I'll give it to a friend hehe

EOMMA: oh I see. Sure, I'll prepare a container for it. You'll pick it up here?

JIWOO: ah if possible, can you ask one of our helpers? I can't leave my friend, he's having a slight fever...

EOMMA: oh... Really? Do you want me to come over?

JIWOO: no need ma... I can take care of him. I just need some fever medicine, pain medicine, and a cane. Coz he kinda slipped and hurt his back.

EOMMA: ohh my did you call a doctor then?

JIWOO: no, he doesn't want to, plus, it's just minor so, a little compression will ease the pain.

EOMMA: ... Who's that friend Jiwoo?

JIWOO: (shit... I don't know his name) ahh Moonbin. Yes, It's Moonbin ma. If you don't mind ma, can you have the helper bring the medicine now? He kinda needs it.

EOMMA: oh sure... Where will she give it to you?

JIWOO: just around the corner eomma... I'll be waiting.

EOMMA: alright. She'll be there in 7 minutes. Say hi to Moonbin for me.

JIWOO: I will, thanks ma...

Soo Hyun went to get the items and hurries to see his "friend".

JIWOO: hey, drink this first, food will be ready in 30 minutes.

SU HO: thanks... Did you buy it?

JIWOO: Nah, I asked mom for a spare. Drink the fever med first then after 5 minutes drink the pain reliever medicine.

SU HO: thanks again. You don't have to do these things though. It's too much.

JIWOO: it's ok, I don't mind. I don't have anything to do anyway. It's nice to help someone once in a while (he gives Eunwoo a sweet smile then leaves)

Su Ho though to himself, "he should stop smiling at me. My heart can't take it. Ahhhh" (he covers his face with the blanket again)

After 35 minutes, Jiwoo came back with a tray full of food.

SU HO: hmmm... Is that smell what I think it is?!

Jiwoo just smiles and places the tray on the side table.

SU HO: kimchi stew! Wow! This looks delicious! I thought I have don't have kimchi?

JIWOO: I asked my eomma to spare some. She just made a batch just 2 days ago... I hope you like it.

Su Ho tastes the stew.

SU HO: wow, just wow. This is indeed delicious! Are you a chef or something???

JIWOO: haha no, I just like to cook.

EUNWOO: really?? Wow... This is heaven! Come, join me. Before I finish this myself! Hehe

JIWOO: haha it's ok. If you don't mind, I took some broccoli and steamed it, this will be enough for me... And don't forget the side dishes, to cleanse your pallet after you eat the stew...

SU HO: Is there another word for wow? Hehe thanks, man. This is too much. I'm becoming a burden now.

JIWOO: hey, it's ok. I don't mind. You should eat now before it gets cold.

They smiled at each other and enjoyed their breakfast in silence.

After they have finished eating, Jiwoo took the plates and left.

Su Ho thought to himself... "why is he so... Caring?? Does he know me? This is just so out of the ordinary. I'll just ask for his name when he comes back"

After a few minutes, Jiwoo came back with a cane in his hand.

SU HO: what's that for?

JIWOO: for you... In case you needed to walk around. You don't want to be bedridden the whole time right?

SU HO: ohh..are you leaving now?

JIWOO went closer to Su Ho and sat beside him... He looked at him and spoke

JIWOO: ahh no, I asked my ma just in case you need to walk around.

Su Ho's face lit up. He didn't know why, but he is happy hearing that.

Su HO: thanks.

JIWOO: hmmm... Good. Let's go to your patio, it's getting stuffy in here. There, you can use your cane now. Haha

Both of them now sitting on the floor facing the cold gloomy sky... They inhaled the fresh morning breeze coming from the sea that made them feel relaxed.

JIWOO: you know, so much has happened already.

Su Ho looks at Jiwoo with a confusing gaze.

JIWOO: So many things happened yet I still don't know who you are.

Jiwoo looks at Su Ho and chuckles.

Su Ho just stared at him for a bit. He can't seem to unsee the face that is looking at him.

He felt at peace looking at Jiwoo's smiling face. It's as if all problems were washed away by his calm aura.

Jiwoo on the other hand can't get enough of Eunwoo's charm. His luscious lips and his smooth milky skin. He wanted to hold Su Ho so bad he doesn't know what to do.

So, he holds his hand and asked his name again

JIWOO: what's your name? (In a sweet and alluring voice)

SU HO: my name? It's... It's Lee Dongmin... Yours?

JIWOO: Do Minjun.

The rain started to fall adding to the melancholic gloomy vibe as they looked at each other.

Unconsciously, Su Ho cupped one of Jiwoo's cheeks and brings his face closer to him.
