Yoochun shook Ye Seul awake lightly by her shoulders, careful not to startle her. “When did I fall asleep?” Ye Seul asked immediately when she woke up. It was different from what Yoochun had thought. He had expected a blurry Ye Seul who would rub her eyes cutely. Not a Ye Seul who looks awake and aware of what is going on. “You fell asleep last night after-”
“Thanks for driving me back.” Ye Seul cut off his sentence and started to unbuckle the safety belt. Yoochun simply smirked as Ye Seul made her way through the gates. Taking out his mobile phone, he highlighted the name ‘Seul’ in his contact list and pressed the call button.
Ye Seul fumbled in her coat pocket and fished out her phone. “Your Prince?!” Ye Seul read from the screen. “When did I save any number by Prince? Who is this?” Ye Seul held the phone far from her, as if it was poisonous. The ringing soon stopped and Ye Seul heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to replace it in her pocket, the phone vibrated and beeped as a text message arrived.
[Last night spent with you was wonderful. Let’s arrange to go out on a date someday. Your Prince, Micky.]
Li Yin stomped out of the apartment before Junsu, her face still blushing red. Junsu lowered his head in embarrassment and kept brushing his hand nervously through his spiky hair. “I… It…” Li Yin tried to strike up a normal conversation.
“Your now officially my girl!” Junsu blurted out. Li Yin felt her body heating up as her already red face darken to a deeper shade of red. Junsu scratched his head and looked at Li Yin, not knowing what exactly he should do. “I… I’m not a love expert, but I’ll try to be the best guy you can depend on at all times.” Junsu said and pulled her into an embrace.
“You still refuse to move out?” Junsu felt something holding him back. Holding him back from letting Li Yin return to her house. “It’s dangerous.”
“It’s my home.” Li Yin sighed. “I have no other choice.” Junsu knew it would be difficult to change her mindset, and left it as that. Pushing the gate open, he invited himself in. Despite it being probably his third visit to the place, he still finds it incredible that Li Yin actually lived in such a place. Li Yin ran to the back of the house and returned with a teapot set. “Let’s have tea.” Li Yin grinned and signaled for Junsu to follow her into the house.
“Missy, Madam has been looking for you since last night…” Ye Seul’s personal attendant whispered to her. Ye Seul nodded faintly and plastered a smile on her face as she made her way to her mother’s room. A servant opened it after a few knocks and bowed to Ye Seul. “I heard you were looking for me.”
“Where have you been all night? I hope you’re not wasting your life away with that Li Yin girl. And did she take away your manners as well? You haven’t greet me.” Mrs Han said as she sipped her glass of red wine.
“Mum. It isn’t good to be drinking so early. I’ll be going if there’s nothing else.” Ye Seul wanted to escape from her mother. As soon as possible. Without waiting for her mother’s reply, Ye Seul took big steps out of her room. It happens every time. They can never hold a proper conversation for more than 5 minutes ever since she grew up. The caring and loving mother is gone, forever.
I’m starting to understand why Li Yin likes staying in this place even though it’s old and rundown. There’s a homely feel to it. However, the calm and peaceful atmosphere broke when no one other than Zhang Xiong returned home. He laughed devilishly at us before settling down in a corner for his sleep. The homely feel vanished instantly. “Li Yin…” I tried to convince her once again that this place is not for her, but she shook her head. I can only sigh and look at her. She’ll probably never leave this place… one hell of a place.
Yoochun jumped up excitedly when he received a reply from Ye Seul.
[Who gave you permission to touch my phone while I’m sleeping? Anyway, it’s either we meet now, or never meet again. The moody, Ye Seul.]
Rushing about his room, he opened cupboards to pick out outfits and drawers for his cologne. He always said man needed no cologne, but right now there seem to be a need for a teeny weenie spray. His laptop rung out a message, but he didn’t bother to answer. He knew it’ll either be his parents who are too busy overseas, or one of the girls from clubbing. And, none is as important as Ye Seul currently.
“Brian, you said you’ll bring me to your place, but you never did!” a girl threw herself at Yoochun. Seriously, he had no recollection whatsoever of agreeing to bring her anywhere. Her looks aren’t even average. “I’m sorry, honey. Was too busy with work. You know, a man’s work is very important.” Yoochun thought it better to please the lady than to make an enemy. He had his hand trailing along her back as he spoke, making the girl giggle. All these actions of flirting were taken in by Ye Seul which have been standing behind Yoochun since 5 minutes ago. She felt jealousy. And worse still, anger. ’What’s wrong with me?’
“Seul, you can’t drink on empty stomach. Have a side dish!” Yoochun pushed a plate towards Ye Seul. She took a glance at the dish and rolled her eyes. “We’re not that close yet. Don’t call me Seul, Mr Micky.” Ye Seul emphasized on the greeting. Yoochun frowned slightly and reached a hand towards Ye Seul’s. She skillfully withdrew her hand and made it seem like she was reaching for the chips beside Yoochun’s hand. Not understanding the abrupt change in Ye Seul, Yoochun dismissed it as the girl’s ‘that time’ of the month. While nibbling at the tidbit, Ye Seul stole a glance at Yoochun. It is getting obvious that he is a flirt, and is just after herself because she’s not as easy as the other girls. And yet, somehow, she secretly wanted his care and concern to be genuine. Perhaps it’s just family love she lacks…
