Stay .....

Do Yun felt Amor's tears in his hands while holding her head against his chest, he could also feel her loneliness, pain, and sorrow. He lowered his head again and whispered in her right ear, "Mian haeyo (I'm sorry)."

Amor felt Do Yun's lips against her ear which has been a neglected area of her body in terms of intense pleasure and now that his mouth is close to her ear she has indeed been stimulated. His lips lightly brushed against her ear have sent shivers down her spine, which roused the soft, fine hairs all over creating waves of tingly pleasure. Although she didn't understand what he said she could also feel his loneliness, pain, and sorrow, "Oh..... Mr. Kim.....," with closed eyes she took his hand that held her head against his chest. Without looking into his eyes again she dragged herself outside his office, "I need to go now," before he can grab her again she closed the sliding door behind her.

Do Yun returned to his desk and stared blankly at the closed sliding door, "Na-ege chinjeolhaji mal-ajuseyo (Please don't be nice to me)," he remembered Amor's condition. He seemed to have figured out that he has indeed been nice to Amor and treating her nicely still is hurting her but the thought of not treating her nice makes him sad. Keeping her at arm's length is a double-edged sword hurting them both and the people around them, "Eotteoghajyo? (What do I do?)" he asked himself. But he can't get her eyes off his thoughts, he can't even get tired staring at her, and at times he wishes he could wake up next to her. "Excuse me, sir, are you still open? Can I eat here??" he remembered the fateful day they first met and in his memories there she was, looking at him with wide, invigorated eyes they made eye contact and something signaled to him deep inside that they just shared a moment.

Even after closing the sliding door behind her Amor was still unable to step away from it and tears are still rushing down her cheeks as she recalled how Do Yun's heartbeat sound against her ear which made her fall deeper in love with him. Slowly walking toward her own desk reminds her of who she is in Do Yun's life, "I have pledged my loyalty to you, Mr. Kim," she thought she had clipped the wings of the butterflies in her heart whenever she sees Do Yun but it seems they have been freed and are now fluttering wildly. Remembering how he simply looked at her directly makes him appear more attractive, it is indeed a bitter taste kind of happiness he brings to her whenever he is around. Meeting his gaze when he cupped her face in his hands seems to convey a message which she's unsure still, "Is it something special, unique gentleness, tenderness, kindness, love feelings to me?" she thought. But what captured her attention the most was when he whispered into her ear and his emotional words then got through to her loud and clear.

She then forced her mind to get back to work and focus on the purpose of the assignment for her which is to organize and complete the job to their customer's satisfaction. To liaise and engage with clients and staff regarding capital works programs, complaints, and service improvements mean ensuring that customer needs and requirements are taken into consideration. Her responsibilities include building long-term relationships with key clients and addressing customer concerns and complaints. She will also help the company ensure their clients receive exceptional service while the business's sales goals are supported. She also needs to maintain existing business with current clients and grow business relationships with current clients.

Most of the workers have gone home already thus while waiting for Do Yun she already tidied her desk, "We'll go home sooner or later though," she told herself. Standing outside his office door Amor leaned her left ear to check if he is ready to leave but could not hear anything. "Is he still busy?" she thought. Pressing her lips, she lightly knocked thrice and slowly opened the sliding door, without waiting for an invitation she stepped inside and closed the door. When Amor entered his office, Do Yun is silently sitting on one of the black swivel chairs with his arms folded and his legs crossed. She slowly sat on the other black swivel chair opposite him.

"Uhm..... Mr. Kim are we working overtime tonight?"

"Do you know now what is your role as a Client Manager?"

"I am the one who will work to build, maintain, and strengthen the company's relationship with the clients Mr. Kim."

"What about your responsibilities as a Client Manager?"

"One of my responsibilities includes developing long-term relationships with the company's clients, connecting with key business executives and stakeholders Mr. Kim."

"Good."

"Ah..... thank you, Mr. Kim."

"Can we now talk about our personal matter?"

"Huh?" Amor got confused.

Looking at each other's wide eyes both of them don't know what to say, "You have not told me yet what kind of joke fate is playing on us," Do Yun broke the silence.

"Oh..... life is what happens to us while we are making other plans Mr. Kim. I planned to be a stay in housekeeper so I expected that you will hire me to do anything house work-related, I....."

"Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like. I never asked for you Amor but why do I like you?"

"If you didn't like me Mr. Kim you wouldn't hire me, right?"

"Your smile warms my heart, goodness gracious Amor, when you smile, my soul lights up like a lantern. It's not just because of that dimple on the side of your face, but it's because I'm so happy you're happy. When you smile, I feel so great about bringing a bit of happiness to your life, even if it's for a second. I want to make you happy and when you are, I feel warm all over."

"He likes me?" she asked herself. "Uhm..... Mr. Kim, I'm disappointed."

"Huh?" Do Yun got confused.

"I was disappointed because you hurriedly left when we first met in the cafeteria and now you're telling me you like me? Do you even know what it feels like to like you, knowing that I can't be with you??" tears are about to well up from the corner of her eyes now.

"What's meant to be will always find a way, I don't know when I started liking you, Amor. It could've been when we bumped with each other in the cafeteria but I think I've always loved the way you look at me. You make me feel like I'm the only person in the world and with you, I can be myself. I miss you even when you're in the next room and you sacrifice and work so hard, without even realizing that you are. You always apologize first, no matter who's wrong and childish it may sound but you give me butterflies."

"What now?" she thought. "Ah..... Mr. Kim, I was happy."

"Huh?" Do Yun got confused.

"I was happy when I saw you again during the interview," the butterflies in her heart suddenly grew legs as big as that of a tiger and is pounding her heart it hurts.

They both feel sudden regret they didn't wait for each other.
