Tear you apart (hyunjin fanfic)

six

I couldn't wrap my head around all those words he could say out loud. It took me almost the whole night thinking if he was attracted to me, if he was just flirty like that to everyone else, or if it was just his charm and part of his personality.

Even though I wanted an answer to my questions, the first thing to get them was waiting for his text, call, or him in front of my door.

But it didn't come.

No call. No message. No visiting.

It was like nothing had happened before.

I was contemplating whether to text him or not, but he said he always works late hours and I didn't want to be a burden even more, but it was already a couple of days since we met for the last time.

I put my clothes on and started a day like any other day before, but when I came to the dining room our maid was already preparing our big oak table in front of me.

"Why all the preparations?" I asked my dad when he came from the kitchen. I haven't seen him in a couple of days either.

"I invited my business partners for dinner. I think you might know them already," he winked at me.

"Who? Hyunjin?" I asked quickly, my heart skipping a beat.

He snapped his head in my direction, his mood was already ruined. "Don't be inappropriate. It's Mr. Hwang. Since when do you call them by their first name? It's very disrespectful, I thought I taught you better."
I forgot he didn't know about my little adventures with him. He wouldn't be happy if he heard his comments about my tight dress or juicy lips.

My dad was always very strict about boys around me, and the way his irritation towards them grew with the years, starting with my ex-boyfriend, I started not even to try to date any just because I didn't want to make him angry and simply because I wasn't interested in childish behavior the boys around me had.

But now, we're not talking about a boy. Hwang Hyunjin is already a man.

"Oh yes, I'm sorry I just like his name," I said nonchalantly. 

"You can like it but don't say it out loud anymore, especially not in front of them today," his look was still very serious.

"So I'm having dinner with you too?" 

"I'm expecting you at the table darling, of course, you don't have to, but it would make me very happy," he said, gently hugging me with one arm. 

My first thought about this wasn't positive, about what I could even talk with 7 men that aren't even able to smile for more than 5 seconds, I'm not including Hyunj- Mr. Hwang in that, I was able to somehow make him smile at least 2 times.

But I wanted to do this because of dad. Mainly.

It was around 5 o'clock when I was deciding what to wear, it had to be formal, I was panicking when was already 6 o'clock when someone buzzed on our front gate. I checked the cameras I have on my phone just to already see 2 sports cars waiting for our gate to open. 

I quickly picked a black mini-skirt that was still appropriate, and a plain white shirt.

The gate opened shortly after I put on my clothes, and the cars slowly approached our front porch.

It was just like a scene from a movie - 8 men in suits and neat shirts. 

When I came downstairs, they were all looking at me simultaneously, but my eyes only went in one direction. They all politely bowed so synchronized and it felt like they already practiced it before.

But Hyunjin didn't look down, even if the bow only took 2 seconds. He looked right into my eyes and then quickly away.

If I wouldn't be looking at him I wouldn't notice, we can say I was just lucky.
