Alora couldn't take the waiting any longer. She might've almost stopped talking to Jun completely but another plain-talk was definitely needed. Once about his cheater existence and why he bothered annoying her, another thing being why he donated this ridiculous amount of money for her hospital.
She exhaled deeply as she stood in front of his building, hesitating to press the bell button with his name on it. It took her all to push it, inhaling once the deed was done and folding her hands in front of her chest.
The little speaker next to her head right above the bells let out a small noise before Jun's voice was heard. "Hello?"
"Hi...sorry, it's me, Alo-" Alora couldn't finish speaking, the door already buzzed and she pushed it open, going straight for the elevator. She entered impatiently, another person stood on the side already and she gave the middle-aged man a polite, sweet smile before she pressed the little "8" on the wall.
He looked her up in down in distaste. "Not his individual dating rules, is he trying something new?"
"Shut it, the fuck?" Alora spat back and the slender man widened his eyes meekly before leaving the elevator at the fifth floor. She quickly pressed the door-closing button and shook her head. This house seems to be full of rich, rude people...
She arrived at the eighth floor in no time and too slowly for her own good the doors opened, revealing Jun who already stood in the door frame of his apartment. Alora blushed at his stressed face, making her way towards him.
He stepped aside just in time and let her enter, promptly closing the door once she was inside. She looked up at him and Jun licked his lips, worry in his voice. "How are you? And how have you been? You weren't replying too much the past month..."
Alora blinked at him, perplexed by his soft voice. "I'm...I'm doing fine, just working, the usual."
"Can...can I hug you?" Jun's eyes shifted just slightly and the young nurse breathed out. The puppy look in his eyes was too intense; she couldn't say no. Alora walked towards him and laid her arms around his lower back. He quickly hugged her back, pressing her close against his body and then he just held her. He didn't move his hands nor said anything – Jun simply laid his head down on her shoulder, gently breathing in her perfume without her noticing.
Alora calmly closed her eyes as she placed the left side of her face against his chest. He felt so incredibly warm and comforting just standing there, like a life-sized heater, he must've been sleeping right before she came. Alora started to relax against his body, her shoulders sagging but then she remembered what she came for and swiftly but gently pushed Jun away.
The young man blinked with confusion and Alora pulled the shoes off her feet. "That's not what I came here for. And I will have to run around your penthouse." She turned on her heels and walked a few steps into his home, spinning around to face him again. "You- you're a millionaire? A multimillionaire at that?! You didn't care to tell me?!"
