Chapter 17- The bedroom encounter-(1)

After ending the call, Hyuk swiped his gold access card and slid into the ensuite room. He stabilized his ragged breaths with some deep breaths. As soon as he stepped inside the room, he knitted his eyebrows, sensing someone's presence in his room. Movement of limbs, heavy breaths mixed with curses was heard.

Turning his head towards the source of the sound, which is coming from the middle bedroom, Hyuk walked towards the bedroom.

Pushing the door slightly, He could see the side view of a girl, drenched in sweat, working out in night shorts, clearly worn out. It didn't take long for recognition to hit. Even though initially he felt little annoyed, thinking some random girl invaded his room, after knowing it was the girl from party, for some reason, he didn't feel that annoyed. In fact, a smirk and playful look made way on to his face as he enjoyed watching her.

He didn't want to admit it, but he knew he is feeling attracted towards her. These new feelings came effortlessly to him. It felt good to silently admire her, however, he wasn't in a mood to encourage some girl who had relationship issues. So, he waited for her to notice him.

While his emotions went from admiration to angry, Sooha has been controlling a single emotion all this while. Which is, the urge to punch someone to death. Throwing punches in air, imagining her hitting them, along with cursing, surely is giving her a break. Turning a little towards the ceiling window, her back is now facing the opened door with the stranger leaning onto the door frame.

While trying to quickly catch her breath, she spouted out any nonsense that came to her mind in an attempt to clear her thoughts, " Huff....That f**king p*rvert....huff...crazy bastard....He better pray to God that he never crosses my path, " Taking a short break to draw a long breath, she continued, "The nerve of the guy to take advantage of me. Aish!! I am going crazy. That was my first kiss, how could it be taken away just like that, by a random a**hole..... " She went on and on, not noticing anything else except for a way to unleash her wrath.

It's his first time listening someone swearing at him right under his nose. He should be provoked more, instead he could find himself getting intrigued and drawn towards her. The bizarre thing is that he felt a little amused as he continued listening her. Afterall, who can dare to cuss at him knowing his presence.

Even though he only joined her in between, hearing her words, he is da*n sure that her words are for him to listen. Five minutes passed, he was still at the door and she was still cursing at him as if there was no tomorrow. He was now doubting that she is just pretending to not notice him.

Not having the patience to wait, he walked towards her, startling her. Maintaining a feet distance, he voiced out, " Instead of throwing punches in air, wouldn't it be more fun to punch me ? " Even though his tone came out serious, his face said otherwise.

Horrified after hearing someone's voice out of nowhere, her reflexes kicked in fast, as she turned around to knock off the person off their feet. Her arm swinging wildly with all the strength collected into her fist. The sudden shift of strength caused her to loose her footing slightly, but she was expecting to take down the intruder before goimg down herself.

Neither the anticipated pain filled cry, nor her expected fall came. Unexpectedly for her, hyuk effortlessly caught her hand in swift moments, by also restraining her from falling down.

As her instincts and sudden adrenaline was fading away, she could sense herself hanging in air, her left hand firmly held by someone and also, preventing her from falling down. Even though she was sure to not be toppled over the floor, she couldn't bring herself to calm down from the shock she just received, the thought of banging her head is enough to make all the hidden worries surface again.

Even though she could tell that the other person had no intention of losing his grip on her, she couldn't muster up her courage to open her eyes, as past memories long winded her mind.

Noticing her immobile state, and her face contorted in pain, and shuddered breaths leaving her still red lips he realized his intension of surprise has gone terribly wrong. He didn't want to scare her like this, it was not his intention.

Closing his eyes for a second to manage his tone, " Isn't it time for you to open your eyes? " His voice going a bit more low towards the end of it, adding a bit of warmth in the words.

This time she caught him. Hearing the familiar voice closely again, she knew right away whom it belonged to. This voice plagued her mind since past couple of hours.

Her eyes flew open, what greeted her was the worried face of the person she kissed some hours ago. His tender gaze, and that lovely warm tilt in his voice earlier kept ringing in her ears, and for some reason, that wore down the feary blaze of anger in her. Staring at his eyes, she could tell his care for her is real, which is just for her, which belonged only to herself.

Maybe, this is the kind of affection she is missing. She wanted to have more of it, to have someone care about her true self. Care about her, who is under the mask of domineering, calculative and commercial Sooha. She liked this new feeling, though it was beyond her knowledge and experience till now.

Hyuk furrowed his eyebrows, when he saw her go still again after opening her eyes. She looked so out of it, looking deeply involved in her own mind and thoughts. He wondered what was going through her mind, as he could see flitting emotions in her eyes, but he couldn't decipher any of those emotions.

Sooha, still in Hyuk's arms, her eyes began to travel along his prominent features, which she didn't have a chance to see earlier. His eyebrows thick and perfectly shaped and his eyelashes long and shiny. His eyes too captivating that she can't bring herself to shift her gaze away from them, but also felt like drowning in them. Those big deep brown eyes were making her dizzy without any particular reason. It felt like he had magnet in them, drawing her in like a siren and she was hypnotized in those just by staring at them.

By now, Hyuk wasn't sure what was going on. They have been in this position for a while now and his arm was starting to cramp from holding her in umcomfortable angle. He wondered if she wasn't feeling anything as she literally froze in the position she turned towards him. Nonetheless he pulled her hand towards him careful as to not startle her further, pulling her into his embrace, his arm gently holding her waist, other still on her hand which was now between them.

Bending his head near her ears, he whispered enticingly , " Am I that handsome? "

He just wanted to tease her and make her flustered, unexpectedly, she lightly nodded her head in a whim as if she is hypnotized by his alluring voice.

Well, this miss is surely interesting.
