BOOK 1: The Heir Series; Choi Seungcheol

22: NIGHT

Taerin blinked a few times as she looked at Seungcheol who was already peeling off his shoes and socks on him.

". . . share this room with me. ."

Share. As in SHARE?!

The two of them in one room?! Does that mean she can't keep the huge bed on her own?!

"I'll take the shower first if you don't mind."

Her eyes widened more when she saw Seungcheol walking his way to the bathroom.

"Wait―" But she tripped down, flat on the face because of her gown. She tripped on her feet before she even got to him. She just heard the bathroom door shut when she gain her stance again.

No! This is so not right!

They already have an agreement, right? Besides, this house is too huge for them to fight over one single room.

That man is really something! He's crossing too many rules in their agreement. What is he thinking? That she'll just sit there and let him play King on her?

She gathered her whole strength to regain her full stance. Her gown is irritating the hell out of her!

She hardly knocked on the bathroom door. "Choi Seungcheol! Get the hell out of there!" She shouted at the closed door. Yet it's just the flowing waters she can hear. "Do you hear me?! Get out of there if you don't want this damn door to break!" She shouted as she pounded hard on the door.

Then after a while, she heard an answer. "I'm busy here, Taerin!"

"I don't care! What I want is you, out of there!" She stood right in front of the door with arms crossed on her chest. She tried counting until ten but she just reached six and knocked impatiently again. "Seungcheol! I said step outside!"

"Just go after me." He shouted back from inside.

Damn irritating! "Use the other bathroom! Get out! Let's talk!" She's not agreeing on sharing the same bed with him. God! Upon thinking of it. . . . She continued knocking until an irritated Seungcheol burst of the door.

"Can't that wait? We can't really talk while I'm having a shower." She heard him shout followed by the sound of flowing water.

Urgh!! "Why can't you understand?! I said, get the hell out now!" She shouted loudly. No one will hear them except the two of them only.

Later on, she heard the shower being turned off. After so much shouting, finally, Seungcheol's going out.

She stepped back and waited for the door to open. Yet no one came. She just heard his voice right next to the door.

"I can't step outside when I'm naked and soaking wet." His voice came out low but very clear and she can clearly hear how his voice goes down bit by bit. Taerin could even imagine Seungcheol's face while he was talking.

"Now, if you're really dying to see me in flesh, then be my guest and break this damn door. I'd gladly have you in here."

Her heart thumped. She knows that Seungcheol is just scaring her but she immediately stopped knocking. And he was doing it so efficiently. She can't do anything but just wait for him to finish his own business and get out of the bathroom.

"Backing off now, Dominique?" Now he's teasing her using her second name.

Damn it!!

She kicked off her shoes out of frustration and anger. She sat on the bed. She sighed. This was so not right.

Since when did things go right on her? She learned a long time ago that life is imperfect.

Today was the longest day of her life and it seems like it was not going to end just like that. She sighed again.
