Now they were in front of the KB hall. Both clad in elegance. Lee Ji hyun took a heavy breath. He looked nervous.
"Let's have fun Ji hyun" tae ra said and wrapped her arm around his, giving him a comforting smile.
That smile. That winsome smile put him at ease. He felt light.
"We are an hour late. We can still steal the thunder" tae ra said passionately as they walked in.
Lee Ji hyun couldn't help giving her a stare.
"I-I mean, you know how the late hunks get attention" she tried to clear her point.
They entered the wedding hall and as tae ra said they did get all the attention. The main function was almost done, just the dinner and speech was left.
"Wrap your arm around my waist" tae ra whispered as she saw the bride and the groom was walking towards them.
Lee Ji hyun hesitated but tae ra took his hand and placed it on her waist.
"Hi Ji hyun, long time" Dalmi greeted Lee Ji hyun first.
Lee Ji hyun smiled and congratulated both for the wedding. "Sorry we are late" Lee Ji hyun was being humbled.
"We are glad you made it to " Do San gave him an assuring smile.
Lee Ji hyun took a glance at tae ra and spoke," This is tae ra…...my girlfriend"
Tae ra gave Lee Ji hyun a shy smile looking away, tucking her hair behind her ear.
(Damn she is so good at this)
Dalmi extended her hand to greet," Nice to meet you, tae ra. I'm Dalmi Ji hyun's-"
"Ex" tae ra completed the sentence.
Tae ra, throwing a bright smile.
Dalmi nodded but smiled.
" sorry,we are late. Actually it's Ji hyun's fault, he always ruins my makeup and dresses when I doll up for any party." tae ra whined hitting his chest.
Lee Ji hyun started coughing
(GOD THIS GIRL IS WILD)
How can Dalmi lack behind? " Yeah I know how these boys give us trouble to cover the marks" Dalmi threw at tae ra, acting innocent but proud at the same time . Do San was so red.
Their conversation turned into a rap battle. Tae ra was furious. She couldn't let dalmi win easily. She threw her final shot. "The real pain when your million dollar dress gets all ruined after the party" tae ra acting annoyed by it but deep inside she was really proud.
(Woah girls can't be real) lee Ji hyun thought.
Their conversation was interrupted as someone called Dalmi and Do San to the stage.
They all sat for dinner. Do San stood up to deliver his speech. "Seo Dalmi, I'm so proud to call myself your husband today.5 years ago when I was lost, you held my hand. I'm so-" Do San continued.
Hearing 5 years,tae ra couldn't help but smirked. "Told'ya" tae ra whispered leaning a little towards Ji hyun.
He was heartbroken.
The function ended well. Everyone was bidding goodbyes to the newly wed.
"That was a beautiful evening. Thank you for inviting us' Ji hyun said while shaking hands with Do San.
"Pleasure to have you. If you didn't help me at that time, I would be lost" Do San thanked Ji hyun with a shine smile.
Tae ra chuckled and said to herself," and also wouldn't get your girl." Tae ra only made it audible to Ji hyun and herself.
Tae ra became all giddy as a schoolgirl and gave Dalmi a tight hug.
"Didn't know you will be this fun?" Tae ra started giving Dalmi an all friendly look but ended with," You never talked about her" and she slightly hit Ji hyun's chest, complaining, acting all whiny. (Yes, that's our tae ra)
************************************************
In his car both giggling.
"That was fun"
tae ra, still laughing.
"See, she cheated on you" tae ra ascertained.
Lee Ji hyun nodded but still that "I still don't think so" look in his face
(Ugh this boy is something) tae ra gave him a "you can't be real" look.
They both laughed afterwards.
"Thank you so much for today. I had a really good time" Lee Ji hyun said, turning towards tae ra.His eyes were glittering.
Tae ra just smiled shyly
(God she is alluring)
"Tell me where should I drop you?" Lee Ji hyun asked as it's a fact that they needed to part their destination.
It hit tae ra. She realized she didn't have any home to go. She tried to figure out. Thinking.
While Ji hyun parked his car beside a lake.
"Can you hand me your phone?" Tae ra asked.
Ji hyun was confused but complied.
She searched in her bag and pulled out a piece of paper. The paper, chief accountant Suho gave her earlier. She dialled the number. Two calls, no response. She was hoping for the call to answer but it kept ringing. No one answered.
"Is everything alright?" Ji hyun asked.
Tae ra nodded with tension in her face, still holding his phone as she kept calling Mr. Park.
No one answered.
Tae ra sighed.
"Take me to your house" tae ra said out of nowhere.
Ji hyun was motionless.
(What the heck is she saying?!!)
"Wha-what?!" Lee Ji hyun spoke.
"Well I don't have any place to go!!" Tae ra exclaimed.
"But I'm a total stranger. We just met a few hours ago. You shouldn't trust me" Ji hyun cleared his point. He was shocked and was panicking as well.
(How can he be this adorable?!!)
Tae ra seemed calm. Moved to the side and adjusted herself so she could fully face him.
She spoke." I don't have any option!! I don't have any money to go to the hotel. Even if I had, I couldn't go as all my dad's shareholders are looking for me and they search in the hotels first." Tae ra said, trying hard to convince Ji hyun.
"There must be other options. Your relatives or maybe any close friends." Ji hyun said. Still a tension in his face.
Tae ra took a heavy breath.
"DO YOU THINK I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT?!! HOW MANY TIMES I NEED TO REMIND PEOPLE ABOUT MY CINDERELLA LIFE?!! I DON'T HAVE ANY!!" tae ra exclaimed,more like yelling.
Ji hyun, still not convinced. But he also felt bad for her. He was thinking rationally.
(She shouldn't trust anyone easily)
" It's not like there will be any problem if I take you home and I'm a decent guy. BUT YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST ANYONE EASILY" Ji hyun respond to tae ra.
Tae ra sighed. Then turned her usual dramatic mode.
(Gosh typical tae ra)
Tae ra started saying, taking her hand closer to her temple and also throwing her 'my life is miserable' face," I would rather wish to get raped by a handsome man than dying in the cold tonight" finished wiping off her fake tears.
Ji hyun's eyes grew wide. "YAH I'M A DECENT GUY"
Tae ra laughed. " I know"
Lee Ji hyun didn't have any choice other than taking her to home. He couldn't let her sleep on the road and she wouldn't be safe as well.
************************************************
"Go inside" Ji hyun said tae ra, opening his entrance.
Tae ra walked in, looking all over the place. "Not bad" tae ra said looking back at Ji hyun, giving a smiley eye.
Lee Ji hyun's house was huge for a bachelor. It was situated on mack hills where mostly joint families lived. It had a huge living room with an open kitchen. Passing the living room, there was his bedroom along with a walk-in closet and a huge bathroom. There was another room which could be entered through his bedroom. His  studies with a huge library. All perfect for a bachelor.
"Do you wanna fresh up? I will make your bed on the couch" he said as he didn't have any room to give.
"I guess I will take a shower." Tae ra said, sitting on the sofa, still observing the place.
Ji hyun went inside his room, grabbed a sweatpant and shirt that would fit her and placed it on his bed. He  also turned on the heater and prepared a towel for her.
When Ji hyun came back to the living room, he found tae ra half asleep.
She looked so innocent and small. Her head slightly facing down. Her eyes closed, lips little apart, essence of redness on her cheek.
He didn't want to wake her up but if she slept like that, It would only hurt her neck. So he softly called tae ra.
"The water is ready and I have placed some clothes for you on the bed."
Tae ra nodded and went inside.
Lee Ji hyun prepared her bed on the sofa. As she was taking a long time, he thought of making some ramen for her. "She might be hungry" he thought.
It had been almost 1 hour since she entered the room. He was curious if she was alright. So he knocked the door.
"Tae ra, are you done?" Lee Ji hyun asked, standing on the door.
No response.
"Tae ra,are you alright?" His voice was a little bit louder.
Still no response.
"I'm coming in" he said as he didn't get any answer. He was worried.
He didn't find anyone in the room. His bathroom's door was opened, steam coming out of it.
"Tae ra, are you there?" Lee Ji hyun asked before taking a peek at the bathroom. There was no one.
He heard some noises coming out from his closet. He walked closer to it, placed his ear on the door to have a clear sound. Some rumbling of clothes.
"Tae ra, is that you?" He asked.
"Yes, come in" she answered from inside the room.
He opened the door. His eyes all wide. He took his hand to his mouth because he was so shocked by the scenario in front of him.

"What the heck are you doing?!!" Ji hyun asked

"What the heck are you doing?!!" Ji hyun asked. He was both shocked and confused.
His clothes all lying on the floor and there was tae ra standing only in his silk shirt.
"You have a great collection of clothes specially the silk ones" she said as she took another shirt to herself and saw in the mirror how it looked on her.
(She is unbelievable)
"Why are you wearing this?!! I gave you clothes on the bed" Ji hyun exclaimed.
" You call that a cloth?" Tae ra scoffed.
"Jeong Tae ra can't sleep wearing that. She only wears silk at night." She said ,nodding ,with a proud smile, passing through him to get out of the room.
" Yah, you can't roam around the house wearing only that!!" Ji hyun yelled, following her to the kitchen.
She squealed happily as she saw ramen, ignoring Ji hyun.
"Yah, are you even listening to me?!!" He kept calling her.
She paid no attention to him. She was running in the kitchen searching spoons and all stuff. She was then trying to get a bowl out of an upper cabinet.
By then she felt Ji hyun grabbed her hand and pushed her to the wall.
Their eyes met.
"Why are you so carefree? I'm a man too."
