"Wear this," I said handing him a pair of clothes.
He look at the piece of clothe before returning my gaze. I can see his hesitation but accepted it eventually.
"Don't worry it'll fit you these are from Pavel. I can't let you use mine, because you'll die from suffocation if you'll borrow mine."
"Thank You"
He took it from me headed directly to the bathroom.
A smile plastered in my face as I look at the closed door of the bathroom. Today's happenings are just as epic and we're just half through the day.
I walked out from my bedroom and made my way to the living room. Papers were left scattered in the canter table. The pitcher of lemonade produced water as the coldness left the container.
Piece by piece I picked up the papers and placed it on the folder where it was originally from. I picked up the lemonade and the glasses and made my way to the kitchen, after I placed the pitcher in the refrigerator and the glasses in the sink. I made my way back to the living room with a rug in my hands and carefully cleaned the table.
I picked up my phone that's on the corner of the sofa. I didn't know it was here.
After I was satisfied I exited the living room to go back to my room where Joong is changing. He must be finished now.
My forehead creased when I noticed he isn't done changing. I sat at the edge of my bed and stared at my phone. After I called pavel earlier I turned off again my phone. Contemplating if would turn it on or not. I chose the first one. I also need to message my members. They must be worried sick now. Except for Pavel, that guy don't need assurance. He'll come barge in if his worried. He didn't come so that means he knows I'm okay.
My phone vibrated, Messages rush on as I turn on my phone. I choose not to care about them and just search for my members message. The last message was from Earth asking me where I am. Of course I'll be here where will I go?
Running away from your problems aren't my thing, maybe I'll just need a little time think through and back to face the problem. Because what's the use of running away when it will just hunt you down?
Isn't better to face it head on so you can be free when it's over?
But, don't just take on a battle without weapons. You must be equipped.
My head turns when I heard opening and closing of door. He must be done.
He silently walked out of the bathroom wearing tattered faded jeans and white shirt. Since he has wide shoulders wider than Pavel even though its an oversize t-shirt it hung's perfectly on his shoulders.
On the other hand the jeans fits him. They must have the same physique, they just differ on their shoulders since his was wider compared to Pavel.
"I'm sorry." I said when he approached the edge of the bed.
He stopped from what his doing and said. "It's okay,"
Now that I've thought about it, it's kinda awkward that we're alone in this room. I don't know if I'm the only one who's feeling this but I'll pretend not to.
The unexpected circumstances are just epic. I let a soft laugh.
He looked at me with confused face. I immediately covered my mouth with my hands. He must be thinking I'm mocking him.
No way, I just can't help but to put a smile on my face looking at him. His eyebrows are furrowed, eyes were squinted but his lips are protruded. He look so cute! I didn't know that a manly man like him knows how to pout.
I wanna squished his cheeks.
Again, I let out a soft chuckle, however this time not minding if he's listening or not. I just need to let this out.
He stared at me in dazed. I liked my lower lips to stop myself from chuckling. He must be thinking I'm crazy, laughing with my own.
I waved my hands at him, "I'm really sorry, but I can't suppress it anymore." I said and calm myself down. I let out a sigh, "I already told the plumber the other day, and they said they'll come tomorrow. I wasn't expecting anyone so I didn't rushed it. I should've told you sooner." I continued.
He stood there looking at me with confused and amused face? I don't know if I read his face right but I can see the amusement in his face. What's there to be amused of?
"It's okay, Nine-" I was caught off guard at his remarks. Did I just heard him call my name? I mean everyone calls me Nine, but why does when he utter my name it feels different?
"Is it okay if I call you just Nine?" Joong asked me. My brows furrowed at sudden realization. All this time I've never uttered his name. Is it okay if I call him Joong?
Are we that close that I'll call him by his first name? We're considered acquaintance right? I mean his friend with my friend, then we're-
What the hell am I thinking?
I shrug my thoughts of and lift my eyes to met his. My heart went rampaged as soon as our eyes meet hurting my rib cage. He's eyes were on mine asking for answer.
I broke the eye contact and just stared at my hands. "I'm fine with it." I mumbled silently.
Why does my hand looks appealing to me now? I closed my eyes tight as my heart becomes more wild. Damn. I run down my tongue to my lower lips because it feels like its dry.
When I feel like his not looking at me anymore, I return my gaze towards him but to my surprise he also did the same. I bit my lower lips.
He squinted his eyes looking at my lips. Unconsciously, I let go of my lips and run my tongue to my lips as it was dry. His eyes traveled up to my eyes.
Seconds later, he broke our eye contact and closed his eyes tight. I can see how the muscle clenched when he form his fingers into fist. Is he angry? What did I do?
I cleared my throat and stand up. "Why don't we go down and grab some lunch." I asked grabbing my wallet at the night table.
To gain some courage to face him, I tighten my grip at my wallet and phone. I faced him with a smile on my face. "Don't worry my treat! Just a compensation of what happened earlier." I said cheerfully, even though my voice clearly betrayed me.
Joong just stood there and looked at me. I don't know what going on inside his mind because poker face was plastered on his face. Besides I'm too occupied with my own thoughts to accommodate his.
"It's okay Nine. You don't have to. Besides, some might recognize you-"
"What's the problem with that?" I cut him of.
What's so wrong about that? As long as they won't disturb me. I don't see anything wrong with that. I'm a celebrity, a celebrity work hard to be known and be famous.
"You know other celebrities rarely go out because they might recognize."
"Well I don't, what's the point of making yourself famous when your afraid to be recognize?" I answered with my eyebrows raise.
I can the hesitation in his eyes. Are you that bothered by the fact that celebrities can't go out?
"Alright, I'll wear a cap and a mask. Satisfied?" I surrender,
Grabbing a mask and a cap in the closet then were good to go. I step out of the room only to see him in his phone. I waited for awhile until his done with the call. I fixed my mask for the second time when he turn to me.
"I'm sorry Nine, should we reschedule the lunch? I was badly needed in the company. Just call my secretary or just call me directly." He looked apologetic while saying that.
"It can't be help." Ofcourse, his also a busy man. Of all people I greatly understand that.
I get rid of the mask and the cap from my head and smiled at him. Though its a shame that its our fist lunch together only to be cancelled. But its okay. There's always a next time.
I guess.
