HOPELESS LOVE [CHOI SEUNGCHEOL]

CH: 27

Shasha

After a week.

I looked at the mirror, checking myself out. I don't know why I had to attend this party although this was Jeonghan's and Seungcheol's business party and why they had to bring out their partners. There were no reasons at all, perhaps there was one and it was to bring their respective partners, I sighed. I know one thing I'm gonna feel left out at this party because I don't know anyone and Byeol would be with Jeonghannie and I would be left out with Seungcheol but what if he leaves me out alone? He won't, right?

I was telling myself again and again that he'll be by my side.

I went to my closet staring at the dress which I was supposed to wear tonight for the business party, I was about to take it out and I heard a knock.

Who's it?

Byeol? Jeonghan? But I told them I'll be ready and go to them.

I went to open the door, I was surprised to see him

Seungcheol was standing infront of me, looking even more devastating than usual in a black tuxedo. He was looking perfect with his hair perfectly pulled back. He looked extraordinary today.

A tingle of awareness spread across my skin, mixed with curiosity at the white box in his hands. Medium-sized and flat, tied with a silky pink bow that obscured the logo.

I pulled my eyes away from the box and looked at him "You're early." I told him.

"You're not dressed." Seungcheol's gaze coasted from my half-done face to my bare, black-painted toes. Something inscrutable passed through his eyes for a split second before it disappeared.

"Because you're early ."

He ignored the pointed reminder. "Can I come in?" I nodded, I closed the door behind me, I wanted to know why was he early, I was not even dressed, thankfully I was out of the shower and was in the bathrobe. I wanted to take my time to get ready and here he is.

He was facing me, the moment he entered my room, I felt like I almost forgot my breathing. He was taking my breaths away, I wanted to stay calm and composed but how am I supposed to stay calm when he is with me looking this good.

He held out the white box. "This is for you."

I ignored everything and eyed the box with equal parts anticipation and wariness. "What is it?"

"Your dress for tonight."

My heart skipped a beat when I unraveled the bow and saw the name scrawled in gold across the top. It was one of the top couture houses in the world.

I wanted to tell myself not to check and tell him that I already decided a dress to wear for tonight, but I couldn't resist opening the box. A little peek never hurt any...
