Shameless (Hwang HyunJin)

09| Your Eyes

A sigh interrupted Aaron from finishing his sentence; Mr. Hwang glanced over at Hyunjin with a look of disappointment. Hyunjin seemed uninterested with today's meeting of the launch plan; I looked over at Aaron. He looked annoyed; he placed his hands behind his back. "Is there a problem, Mr. Hwang? Something that needs adjustment to our launch plans?" Aaron asked with a tight smile; he looked almost like he was trying to rile up Hyunjin. I bite my lip and changed the slide; Hyunjin's expression was dark, and it sent chills down my spine.

"Why don't we go over the models we had chosen for the launch photos and hold the adjustments after the meeting?" I asked with a small smile. Mr. Hwang nods and looks over at Hyunjin. "May we proceed?" He asked. Hyunjin crossed his arms and looked the other way. Aaron smiles and continues with the presentation. "Now we plan to have Mr. Leon help us cast two models for the launch photos." Aaron looks at his notes, and Mr. Hwang smiles giddily. "Who did you have in mind for the photos, Mr. Morberg?" Mr. Hwang asked. Aaron smiles politely as he changes the slide.

"Ms. Serena Leon, as the face of our "Fiery Cherry" fragrance, and Ms. Romańo had already decided on the male model for "Black Wood" before I had chosen Ms. Leon," Aaron said with a smile, a smile that looked sort of like a smirk. Hyunjin's eyes darkened as he looked at the projector with such hate the smile on Mr. Hwang had faded. Hyunjin stood up from his seat and stormed out of the conference room; Mr. Hwang seemed worried. "Who did you decide on, Ms. Romańo?" He asked. I changed the slide, revealing a portrait of Hyunjin's last year photoshoot. I was browsing through Mr. Leon's male models he had worked with before, and I stumbled across Hyunjin on the list of his top models. "Mr. Hwang Hyunjin, sir...if that's alright with you?" I asked, Mr. Hwang sighed.

"And may I ask what made you choose Hyunjin? Ms. Romańo?" Mr. Hwang asked. I felt my cheeks become crimson as Aaron and everyone else turned to me. I clear my throat, "I-I notice that Hyunjin's features aren't like most male models Mr. Leon had recommended; I found Hyunjin's features more delicate and extraordinary, Mr. Hwang." I said. He nods his head in acknowledgment. "I'll accept Hyunjin as the face of 'Black Wood' on the other hand Mr. Morberg. Please look for another model for 'Fiery Cherry.' I do not want Ms. Leon to come into my building causing trouble." Mr. Hwang said as he gave Aaron a stern look. Aaron look perplexed, "But Ms. Leon agreed to do the shoot." Aaron protests.

Mr. Hwang stood up from his seat, "On whose authority were you granted permission to contract Ms. Leon without my approval?" He asked clearly showing he wasn't happy with Aaron's actions. I looked at Taehyung who looked like he wanted to laugh, I sent him a small head shake. Taehyung covers his mouth with his right hand, I look over at Mr. Hwang and Aaron. "I wasn't able to find another model aside from Ms. Leon," Aaron said, Mr. Hwang pinched the bridge of his nose and turned to me. "Ms. Romańo find a replacement for Ms. Leon," He said, I opened my mouth to say something but Mr. Hwang seemed furious enough. "Can you or can you not?" He asked. I gave him a smile, "Yes Mr. Hwang I can find a replacement for Ms. Leon." I said. He smiles and nods, "Good, from now on Mr. Morberg you are not allowed to do anything without my or Ms. Romańo's approval, understood?" Mr. Hwang asked looking at Aaron.

Aaron had a sour look on his face but gave Mr. Hwang a nod, "Understood sir." Aaron said. Mr. Hwang leaves the conference room. Taehyung lets out a sigh of relief, "Wow Aaron you really fucked up this time." He said with a smirk. Aaron gave him a stern gaze, I flinched as Aaron threw the projector remote at the wall where I stood and walked out of the room. Taehyung shook his head, "You okay?" He asked. I sighed and smiled, "Yep just surprised." I said picking up the remote and turning off the projector.

"Well that's Aaron to you, he always has a bad temper." Taehyung said picking up the paperwork from the table and stacking them up, "Bad temper? Aaron?" I whispered. Taehyung nods, "Yep, last year he was almost fired because of it." Taehyung whispered as he looked at the door. "Apparently Aaron had assaulted one of the male employees from the Tech field, and put the poor guy in the hospital," Taehyung whispered as he handed me the paperwork. I furrowed my brows in confusion, "What happened to the guy? Is he okay?" I asked.

"Turns out the guy is on life support till this day, look just be careful around him Alexie. Wouldn't want you to end up in a ditch." Taehyung said with a sad smile before leaving. Shivers ran through me as I turned off the computer and lights before leaving the room.

A gasp escaped my lips as I got pulled into a dark room, I dropped the paperwork. "It's just me," Hyunjin whispers below my ear, I let out a sigh of relief and pressed my forehead against the closed door. "Did you have to scare me like that?" I whispered, I turned around to face him. The only light in the room was coming through the closed blinds, "Did you agree with Aaron?" Hyunjin asked. I furrowed my brows in confusion, "Having Serena Leon as the face of Fiery Cherry? No, your father has  put me in charge of finding a replacement." I whispered. Hyunjin let out a sharp breath, he buried his face into my neck. "What happened back there?" I whispered, I tried to remain calm. "Aaron just likes to get under my skin," Hyunjin whispers, his breath tickling my neck. "Right..." I murmured, I grabbed hold of his shoulder. "Hyunjin...why are you against having Serena Leon as the face for Fiery Cherry?" I whisper, Hyunjin pulls away from my neck and gazes into my eyes.

"Let's just say we don't get along with each other," He whispers, I nodded. I bite my bottom lip in curiosity, "I should get back before Taehyung starts to look for me," I whispered. Hyunjin's hand cuffed my chin softly, "Do I make you nervous?" He whispers. I look at him and swallow hard, "Not really," I whisper. Hhyunjin chuckles and smirks, "Is that so? Then why is your heart beating abnormally?" He whispers. My heart was beating like crazy like a mouse being chased by a cat. I bite my lip, and Hyunjin's thumb tugs my bottom lip away from my teeth. "Don't bite your lip..." He whispers, I look into his brown orbs feeling myself become puddy. His full lips had me wondering if they taste like heaven, "Let me bite it for you." Hyunjin whispers, and my heart bursts as his lips meet mine.

I felt completely puddy as his free hand squeezes my waist lightly, and he bites on my bottom lip softly. I let out a small gasp his tongue sneaking its way into my mouth, distorted breaths leaving from the both of us as the kiss turned into something unexplainable.

I've kissed and made out before but this was different, god no Hyunjin was an expert. Like a God who knew how to make a woman get aroused just by a simple touch and kiss, I graze my tongue against his bottom lip tugging at it with my teeth gently. Hyunjin presses me against the door, his lips places a chaste kiss on my lips before traveling down to my neck. I pant quietly trying to catch my breath, I felt a burning ache in the pit of my stomach.

"Hyu...Hyunjin, wait" I whisper letting a moan fall past my lips, my eyes widen in fear of getting caught. I pull him away from my neck, our chests falling heavily. "Stop...this--we shouldn't be doing this," I whispered, feeling afraid if he continued there would be no turning back. Hyunjin lets out a sigh and runs a hand through his raven long hair, "I'm sorry..." He whispered. I shook my head, "It's just...I recently got out of a relationship and I rather not seem hasty or eager." I whisper. Hyunjin lets out a small laugh, "Lexie...I don't do relationships." He implies.

My heart clenched at the pain, "You don't? So then what? Sex is all you want? Because you must've been mistaken thinking I would give you that," I whispered feeling angry at myself for kissing him back. "Is that not what you wanted?" He asked raising a brow, a scoff escaped my lips as I picked up the paperwork and fixed my skirt. "Goodbye, Hyunjin," I said walking out of the room and leaving him in the dark, I mentally facepalmed myself as Taehyung stopped in his tracks. Brows furrowed in confusion, "Lexie wait," of course, things got worse.

Hyunjin walks out of the room, "Fuck," He murmurs. Taehyung looked at Hyunjin and me with a smirk, "It's not what it looks like Tae," I said grabbing his forearm and leaving Hyunjin in the hallway. "You and Hyunjin huh? Wow" He teased, I rolled my eyes. "No Tae it's not like that," I said entering the elevator, Hyunjin stood in the hallway with a brooding expression and hands tucked in the pockets of his pants.

Taehyung smirked as the elevator doors closed, "Not what it looks like? Lexie, there's a hickey forming on your neck," He said crossing his arms. "Just hush Taehyung," I said closing my eyes, "It was merely a mistake nothing else," I said. It was a mistake, how could Hyunjin assume that I wanted nothing but sex? How can he change all of a sudden? He was sweet and caring, but now he's acting arrogant.
