CHAPTER 08

Preparations for the party.

I smiled at Momo and then I lend my hand,” From now on, we’re going to be best friends then.” I told her and smiled at her, for some reason I felt comfortable when I talk to Momo. She was very nice and it was so easy for me to be friends with her. If you’d look at her for a long time, she was really pretty that’s why I felt shy whenever I get close with her sometimes because compare to my looks I have no sense when it comes to fashion. I’ll just drag some clothes whenever I feel like wearing them. It’s not hard to be close with Momo and I feel so comfortable with her.

My phone suddenly rang and I was surprised that I got a text from Chang Heng and my cheeks went flushed and looked angry because of it. He thinks that he can just order me whenever he wants to! He’s getting on my nerves.

From:090000XXXX

This is my number. Better to save it, crazy girl. I need you at the party so we can just communicate here on my phone number.

From:090000XXXX

You better appear later. You’re still my slave, remember. You can never say no to me.

I’VE HAD ENOUGH! WHY DOES HE HAVE TO IRRITATE ME NOW!?

Just who is he to order me around! I kicked on the ground and I can’t help but sigh deeply. Momo noticed me and she waved her hand to me and she chuckled a bit, “Are you okay? Looks like I’ve been talking to myself.”

I can’t help but feel so embarrassed and slapped my face. I didn’t intend to make her feel alone. It wasn’t my intention. I don’t want her to feel that she’s out of place or something. So I bowed my head at Momo and I laughed loudly and I rubbed my hair, “Sorry, sorry! There was a fly who has been irritating me, you know!” I shouted at her and she just smiled at me and chuckles, “Looks like you’re close with the President’s son. He’s cool isn’t he, despite being an intern he got a position as a CEO afterward. That means that his position has been already been decided after his college!” She said excitedly

Well, I’m not that even close with that man! He is my mortal enemy. But to fall in love with Chang Heng? That wouldn’t even happen. As if that could ever happen! I feel at ease when I talk to Momo, I can feel safe when I’m with her. She was so ladylike and elegant and she’s like a big sister to everyone that you can rely upon. She looked so mature. Momo smiled at me and she didn’t think of anything and she decided to be friends with me, “Oh right, can I call Satchan too? I heard that most of everyone here calls you in that way.” Momo said and I just nodded at her. She was nice. It was just a few people who calls me Satchan. I only let them call me that if we were close because I don’t want any formalities when it comes to my friends.

“Of course, Momo.” I said to her and I smiled.

I looked at the content of the USB and I was surprised that I have a lot of things to print. Those financial reports again. He should be the one who prints this, and I’m not an accountant to do this! If I remember correctly I’m an Intern Content Marketing, he was being way too much to me! Chang Heng does enjoy making my life suffer and he even confiscated my BL drawings! He’s a monster and he’s so too much to me even now just when he finds out that I used him as a bottom, he’s getting even to me because of what I have done to him. I hate that guy! I should have let him know that I would use him as my character then maybe I won’t be having a hard time if I did that. Huhu, he’s mean.

That crazy guy.

Sometimes I felt like he was just enjoying making my life miserable. Can I get to the party? Does he want to make me his date at the party or not? From what I can see now, maybe not. Maybe he just wants to make my life miserable then. I can’t believe that I am even attracted to that bottom! He should be thanking me that I am attracted to that bottom face that he got and because if not I wouldn’t even let him do this to me at all. This is so hateful.

Momo noticed that I’m really in trouble when it comes to printing these files so she decided to help me, “Give me the USB, I’ll help you with it best friend. You’re going to the party later aren’t you? So let me lend you a hand so that we can finish those files already. We’ll just have to print those financial reports right? Let me. You should get ready for the party instead.

“Ah. He wanted a copy of the financial reports. Then we can give the folders to him later.” I explained to her and I smiled at her. It’s not like I’m complaining about this, I can do it but with the tons of files, I don’t think that I can make it a half-day. Anyways, I should get ready because I will be late for the party if I didn’t get ready now. He’s quite scary when he’s not in his mood too. He should be thankful that I’m not in a bad mood today. That guy, is being too much to me why the heck did he give the financial reports to me huh? That guy, he is getting on my nerves!

“Then copy the half of it, I will finish it.” Momo said and I nodded at her.

When I copied half of those files, I quickly gave them to Momo. She grabbed the USB and then she quickly put it in her laptop. My back was hurting. Those were tons of files of reports! That slacker! When he needs something to be printed he would always pass it to me because he was messing around with me! The truth is, I didn’t know where Chang Heng conceive at? He got big problems, you know. Anyways I need to get ready. I can just imagine him getting pissed already haha!

We managed to finish at 5 pm. We both stretched our arms and said, “We’re finally done!” We both said. With all those files, we didn’t think that we can manage to finish it. If Momo wasn’t here I wouldn’t able to finish those tasks. It was all thanks to her.

“He got another way to show his care to you, huh? That Intern Accountant, honestly. Is he going to kill you with these tons of work, Intern Content Marketing? And this is not even part of your job yet he forced you to do this. Wow, he is so sweet to you if you ask me.” Momo said and she just tilt her head. She should have expected that thing from him. Anyways, I shouldn’t be staying with her! I can’t afford to be late for that party. So she just lend her hand to me and she smiled, “Let’s go, I’ll fix your looks and your dress.” She said excitedly

What? She’s gonna help me dressed then?

Hmm, looks like I don’t have any choice then. I don’t want to be late at that party. I nodded at her and then I quickly grabbed the box and I quickly went inside the girl’s washroom. I grabbed my black dress and then I quickly change my heels. I’m not used to these heels, I really can’t handle them honestly. When I wore my dress, Momo got closer to me and she grabbed her curler and then she started fixing my hair. She took out her makeup kit and she put some makeup on me too. I’m not use to this, I don’t have a best friend like this before, someone who will turn me from ugly duckling into a goddess haha! Well, she wanted to help me though so I think there’s nothing wrong about it.

“What do you want? Red or Pink lipstick?” She asked me and I pointed at the pink lipstick. And then after that she started putting on my pink lipstick to me and for it’s final touches, she put a blush on me and then she grabbed her perfume and it was a cherry scent and she put it on me as well. After that, she took off her curlers and she smiled at me. I’m not used to these, but I believe on Momo’s skills so I think I would look good at it. Even though I don’t want to be with that guy, but what can I do? He already bought this dress for me and he was already irritating me be his date in the party. I don’t think I can ever escape him.

“Thank you for this Momo. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be able to prepare.” I said to her and I grabbed her both hands and she just smiled at me. She had a good heart, she was so caring too. It’s too bad that Senior and her were just nothing but exes but I hope that they get back together soon.

“You know what, you’re pretty. You just need to learn how to put on make-up. Well if you need anything else, just call me.” Momo said to me and she smiled at me and she pat my shoulders, “Oh well, you have to go now. That Intern Accountant might scold you if you didn’t go on time.” Momo said and she just laughed at me. Yeah right, that guy was too strict!

I agree on her. He might scold me for real. I was rushing to go outside and Chang Heng and I met in the way and then he looked very surprised on how I look. Why does he need to look at me like that? He doesn’t need to stare at me like that. This is making me more awkward then. I was rushing to go to him and waved my hand, “Hey, hey! Intern Accountant!” I shouted at him and smiled at him.

He looked very flustered. I stared at him for awhile and started drooling at his cute bottom face. He was even way more handsome when he’s this close. Now that he was close to me, I couldn’t stop on thinking about my fantasies right now. I can’t help it, he was too handsome and you can see his bottom face now that he was this close and as a fujioshi I can’t just stop myself from this. I was surprised when he suddenly held on my waist and I almost fall. He was so close to me and he touches my waist so that I won’t fall. He got closer to me and he whispered on my ear, “Be careful Satsuki or you’ll fall.” Yes, I’ll fall for you.

[ Some notes:

uke - from the Japanese verb 'ukeru' (receive) it's used in anime/manga and fanfiction for the "bottom" or "passive" in a wordyaoi/word/wordshounen-ai/word (male/male) relationship.Generally the shorter, cuter, sweeter of the two... generally.

seme - The dominant partner in a gay male on male romantic relationship in Japanese yaoi anime and manga, doujinshi and fanfiction. The seme is said to 'top' his uke. The seme is often (but not always) the older of the two/ more serious/ dark/ mysterious and more 'handsome' than 'cute'.

seke - A slang word usually used in yaoi (male/male intimate relationships) culture, made by combining the Japanese terms "seme" (the dominant one) and "uke" (the submissive one). It describes a person that enjoys both positions in a relationship and moves between the two based on his mood, the mood of his partner, and the situation itself.

Mangaka-is the Japanese word for manga artist. Outside Japan, manga usually refers to a Japanese comic book, and mangaka refers to the author of the manga, who is usually Japanese. As of 2006, about 3000 professional mangaka were working in Japan.Most mangaka study at an art college or manga school, or take on an apprenticeship with another artist before entering the industry as a primary creator. More rarely a mangaka breaks into the industry directly, without previously being an assistant.

A mangaka will rise to prominence through recognition of their ability when they spark the interest of institutions, individuals or a demographic of manga consumers. For example, there are contests which prospective mangaka may enter, sponsored by manga editors and publishers. This can also be accomplished through producing a one-shot. While sometimes a stand-alone manga, with enough positive reception it can be serialized in a weekly, monthly, or quarterly format. They are also recognized for the number of manga they run at one time.]

I gulped a bit and I pushed him a little, “I—I’m fine.” I told him. Ugh, when did I started feeling shy at him? Me, a fujioshi? I can feel shy to him too huh despite of being like this? Or is it because of Chang Heng? Ugh, I don’t even know! Anyways I came here because of the party not to think about these things.

“That’s good to hear. Let’s go.” Chang Heng said and he quickly opened the door. He usually don’t do these things. What’s up with him? He seems weird today. I stared at the mirror and I was surprised on how I look. Am I this pretty? I don’t even know if I was even looking at myself. Ahh, thank you for this Momo. Because if it was me, I didn’t know how to dress properly and it was a big help that she helped me with it.

I’m not just simply pretty today, it feels like she can change someone like that easily. Well, I didn’t care about makeup or anything, because I don’t even have time for myself but I’m impressed because she managed to make me this pretty even if it’s only at the party. I’m just happy that we became best friends. I was surprised when we arrived at the party. It looks like it was a grand party. Well, it’s a business party so I guess it’s pretty normal for that. Chang Heng excused himself since he was going to talk to someone and I was even surprised that he can just talk to them just like that.

I remember that my face always looked so tense and I always looked so pale when I took to the other people at the party like this. Well, business is not my thing. He was the only one who forces me to pursue to become a Content Marketing in Chang Heng’s company. For work. Because that’s the only thing that my father cared about.

Seriously, for once I should stop thinking about my father. This is a party after all...
