Trap in the sea

(8)

Seol was busy with her office work when her phone rang.... It was her mom informing her that the tenant had arrived and settled in his room. Her mom was continuously praising him. He had helped her to clean the house, made lunch and had also brought groceries required. She was also gushing about how handsome and well mannered he was even when he had stayed in foreign land for most of his life. 

Seol after listening all the praises was curious as to who is this man that her mom was head over heals impressed with. Well to know that she needed to complete her work and rush home so she burried herself into work again. 

*******************************************

Joon Jae after helping her landlady Ms Songyi returned to his room. 

Joon Jae had spent the entire afternoon sleeping due to Jet lag. He was awfully tired. His sleep was interrupted by knocks on his door. He taught the person shall eventually give up and leave when he didn't open but no the person banging was persistent. Frustrated. He got up and opened the door. 

Seol who was continuously banging the door was about to bang hard on the door and the door opened abruptly causing her lose her balance.... She fell forward.... Because of which they both fell on the floor with seol on top of him. 

She got up and sat beside him. She was continuously apologizing but when she peeked to see whether he was hurt or not she was shocked. 

He was rather amused as to how she always ends up falling.

You seem to always fall when we meet Seol sshi and today you just pounced on me. Miss what's your intention? He teased. 

She had so many questions in her mind. What is he doing here ? Why is he here? Does he not understand what she told him last time? Is he here to rob her again? Should she report him to police ? 

She was so lost that he snapped his finger and asked her to stop thinking. Well I know you have a losts of questions but right now I ll only answer one and that is "Yes, I am your tenant Mr Hoon Joon Jae and I'm not here to rob you " 

Then what are you doing here?

He was about to answer but her mom had called both of them to come down for dinner. 

*********************************************

At dinner seol had pretended not to know him. He played along. While her mom kept making small conversation. 

He wanted to laugh so badly but he controlled and ate as he was hungry. 

After dinner he helped her mom and seol clean the dishes and table. He greeted both of them goodnight and left for his room. 

*************************************************

Seol was having hard time in her room digesting the situation. She was going through the paper's of the lease the brokers had sent. She saw his name but she was curious why his occupation was mentioned as "Lawyer" Instead of con artist. She wondered out of all the people in the world why did it have to be that idiot. Like out of 7 billion people in the world why him. She let out a frustrated sigh. She knew she needed answers today without which she will not be able to sleep. 

So she went to his room and knocked again. 

He opened the door this time as he knew she will definitely come. 

What are you doing so late Miss Seol? She didn't answer and just barged into his room. 

Well your mom had clearly instructed that I shouldn't be alone with you in the room but since it's your house I can't complaint so what brings you here? Are you here to see my handsome face? He teased. 

Shut up! The lease says the tenant is a lawyer which you definitely aren't. So tell me what's your motive? 

Whatever is written in the lease is true. I am a lawyer. See the certified degree there on my wall. 

How can I trust you? Did you forge the documents? 

He sighed. 

Well it's a long story but I ll tell you in brief. I quit conning people and studied law from Spain and I'm here because my company transfered me. I didn't even know it was your home until I arrived here. 

I'm really tired from seol so if you could let me sleep in peace I have office tomorrow. 

Seol sighed and left the room. 

***********************************************

The next day seol woke up to find him making breakfast with her mom

They were having breakfast when her mom asked where was his office located. He said his office was in Gangnam square. Her mom informed that Seoul's office was also in the same area. They should go together plus he being new to the city it shall help him. 

Seol who tried to stay away from him, more she got stuck with him. 

The whole ride he had a grin on his face which she wanted to punch but she restrained as she didn't want to spoil her mood talking to him. So she just read her book. 

She mentally told herself it's going to be a long way seol-ah
