Can't Do Eye Contact

-

[Flashback continue]

What the -! I was going to push him away when he slid his hand to my waist under my oversized long top. And his touch sent a chill down my spine. His cold hands came in contact with my warm body and I didn't realise that I was kissing him back. He sat up and I was in his lap again but this was different.

My legs were bent on the sides of his legs. And I settled between his legs. Shit!

I pulled back but he again collided his lips over my swollen ones. This is not right. I... We shouldn't be doing this. I again tried to push him and succeeded, without wasting any more time I got up and ran towards the kitchen to get my package and there I saw a can of beer. Within a second, the can was empty. I walked past the couch and he was laying there asleep.

* End of Flashback*

My eyes went wide with realization and no wonder that my head is paining a little. And then automatically I again remembered the way he turned me, touched me... ARHH! NO. Di-Hee no, he is your friend. Yeah, a friend. Only a friend.

I went to shower, maybe this would help me erase the memory. Which is hell embarrassing. What if he remembers? What if he took me wrong?

I was preparing ramen to eat when suddenly the bell rang. I opened the door and immediately shut it in the person's face. It's Bong-Soon. How am I supposed to face her? And what if she breaks my arm or something? She is hella strong. She knocked again.

I took some deep breaths and turned to open the door, only to find there was no need of turning at first. I again turned and grabbing the knob I pushed open the door. She was still standing there but with a worried face now. I came out only to find a tall man, according to her height standing there by the tree in the yard.

I again looked at her and she just pushed me in and the man followed. Is he her bodyguard? Does she even need someone to guard her?

" Is he your bodyguard? Or boyfriend?" I asked casually. Well, the second one was more like impossible.

" He is my boss."

"What? So, are you his bodyguard or something?"

"A-aani. Why do you think like that?" She was nervous and it reflected in her voice.

"Now that I know, you don't need to worry I am a good secret keeper. Take a seat. What would you like?" I asked as they seated and I noticed the man was the same person who freaked out that day.

"Mr. err, aren't you the one from the hospital that day?" I am still a little confused.

"Ohh, yes." His eyes grew wide and shock was visible on his face, and he continued "So you are that woman who was bleeding unbothered in the hospital garden." He said and I only nodded.

Changing the topic I asked them the actual question and found silence for a few minutes. I turned and checked on my dish as they were looking at each other.

I came back and saw their admiration-filled eyes. "Uhmm-Humm" I cleared my throat.

"So, why are you here? And isn't it Sunday today? Is he forcing you to work on weekends? " I asked as my voice started to get louder with every word as realization hit me hard. This jerk. I never saw him only heard about him from Bong-Soon.

" Bong-soon. What is your friend speaking about? See lady,-" I cut him off.

"Lady! How dare you."

"Sorry, that wasn't what I meant. I was just- " I again cut him off.

"You just what? You jerk! I am sparing you just because you are Bong-Soon's boss or otherwise you were done for." I was angry. How dare he raise his voice at Bong-Soon.

"And don't you dare to raise your voice again on my friend. " I showed him my index finger while Bong-soon was trying to stop us.

Suddenly the main gate burst open. I picked up the vase on the side table, while that jerk picked the other one. And Bong-Soon was in a defensive position. We slowly started moving towards the door.

As I was going to hit in that direction Guk-Du came out of nowhere. And the vase went backwards and hit that jerk's head. He screamed and pressed his head. I was still looking at Guk-Du and visions of last night came in front of my eyes and I lowered my gaze.

I looked at the so-called boss and ran to get the medical kit. When I came out he was making a puppy face and Bong-Soon was blowing on his head. Meanwhile, Guk-Du was looking at them but was lost in his world.

I came closer to them. And while treating him, I stole glances at Guk-Du but he was in his thoughts, which seemed so deep. I apologized to Mr.... whatever his name is.

"Let's eat ramen. I will serve. Washroom is on the left by the end of the hall." I said and everyone nodded.

I looked at Guk-Du and he was still in the living area and slightly red. Maybe... No, no, no. he can't remember. Not for god's sake. I turned around and served. We all ate while talking and I got to know that jerk's name. An Min-Hyung.

I wasn't able to do eye contact with Guk-Du maybe the same goes for him. After lunch, Bong-Soon left with her boss. Only me and Guk-Du were left and the only way to start the conversation was the question.

"Why did you come here?" My heart was beating fast as I feared only one thing.

"I heard some noises so I came to check. Your mom asked to do so."

"Eomma. Why" I whisper.

"And about last night I don't regret anything." He said a light blush on his face.

"Y-you re-remember?" It felt like my heart will explode at any time from the high speed of the pulse.

"Yes." He inched closer and was standing tall in front of me, by a few inches though, "You didn't want me to?" He arched his eyebrow high and he inched closer.
