Pleasant Imagines (Jinjoo)

The only person I'll listen to

A girl in a bathrobe walked down the stairs, ruffling the towel on her head as she looked around the luxurious penthouse she has been staying in for the past year.

"Why does my head hurt?" she mumbled to herself and saw her boyfriend looking up from the couch that could probably fit three families. "What is it?" he asked, standing up as he made his way towards her, getting greeted by an uneasy expression.

Yujin slipped his hand around her neck, using the other to touch her forehead. "Do you want to go to the hospital? You've been feeling drowsy for the past few days." he gently asked, seeing how the girl furrow her eyebrows.

"You, you. You're the one that's keeping me up all night. Passing me your headaches..." Minju lightly smacked his chest, earning soft chuckles from him.

Why is he keeping her up all night? Their story and how they got here in the first place? Well, they met under a circumstance where feelings bloomed within a night.

The man, a Mafia leader, unknowingly fell for her mystic charms that he himself couldn't believe was possible since he goes to his suite almost every day, girl after girl.

That's until Minju arrived. Someone who wanted to know more about him even after knowing what he does for a living. Yujin didn't know he needed someone like that. A girl who cares.

He did seem intimidating to her the first time they met. Being in a foreign, not so foreign place, alone with a tall, unknown man. But Minju being Minju, that enthralled her. That was her job anyway.

"But it's okay as long as you're good." the girl said and brushed her hair back with Yujin pulling her closer. "Mm..." he hummed, examining her face to see subtle eyebags.

"I still think it's better for you to go get checked up," he said, affectionately drawing his thumb across her cheek, knowing how she has been cranky recently. "Go get dressed, I'll send you there."

Yujin nudged her to go up and heard a small sigh from Minju who nodded. "Don't you have work today?" she asked, slowly going up the steps while he headed into the kitchen.

He paused on the spot. "Oh yeah..." Yujin remembered, wondering why his memory has been lagging lately. Maybe it's because there's someone to always remind him of his work schedule.

"I'll go to the hospital myself," Minju said, earning a nod from Yujin. "I'll get Do to send you."

The man took out his phone, calling his secretary. "Yes, Mr Ahn?"

"Get the car ready, I need you to send her to the hospital," he commanded and hung up the phone with his secretary getting to work right away.

Minju got into the back of the car with Secretary Do heading towards the driver's seat. She blew out a breath and looked at the guy who was starting the engine, driving out of the basement.

"Where is he going today?" she asked while the guy timidly glanced through the rear-view mirror. "He's going down to the field, ma'am." he looked forward, avoiding how Minju was giving him a death stare.

If he could admit, his boss's girlfriend intimidates him more than the actual Mafia himself. They say if a man falls in love, no matter how strong or how egoistic he is, the woman behind is always in charge. Yujin turns into a total puppy in front of Minju despite having an appearance of a canine dog that could rip you into pieces.

Minju started smacking his shoulder. "I. Told. You. Not. To. Let. Him. Go. Anymore." he flinched towards the car door, eyes focusing on the road, not wanting to get into an accident because that'll be equivalent to digging his own grave.
