Beauty and The Beast - A Bboing Fanfic

The Real Beast

~Beauty~ 

I was confused why Mr. Seo was still calling me continuously. I had to put my phone on silent because of that. I was furious at him for not considering my opinion. I wanted to show him that I could do things on my own. I was having fun anyway.

Everyone has a weakness and my weakness is art and music. I get immersed in it and don't even realize when time flies. It happened again, I almost forgot what time it was while thinking about design inspirations. When I looked around the gallery, I realized I was the only one there. Even Ji Hun had not returned with the drinks. 

I took my cellphone out to call him, but the battery had died. There was no other option but to look for him around the gallery. To be honest, I started getting a bit scared. There was no one there and it was already very late at night. I felt I had probably made a mistake by staying back for so long. 

"Boyoung-ssi..." Ji Hun called out and I almost jumped. 

"Y-yes..." I said. "where were you?" 

"Ah, sorry it took me some time, here is your wine," he said offering me the glass. 

"Oh, thank you..." I took it but I was hesitant to have it. I don't know why did I agree earlier. 

"You look stressed?" Ji Hun asked. 

"Umm, no... I was just thinking that it's too late so we should probably go now." 

He suddenly stepped closer and kept his hand on my shoulder. 

"Don't worry, you're going to be fine," he said with a strange smile. 

I'm not the kind of woman who would judge a man just because he was being friendly. But a woman can never be wrong about a man's touch. And his touch wasn't a good one. 

I instantly stepped back. It was horrifying to imagine that I had walked right into a trap. How could I be such a fool? Probably Mr. Seo was calling me for the same reason. I was too angry at him for what? Not listening to me? Gosh, I must have gone crazy! There was no need for me to overreact to something that he said and go to that place alone just to prove him wrong.

"What are you thinking, Boyoung-sshi?" Ji Hun asked trying to come closer. 

I knew if I tried to fight, he would use force and I would stand no chance against him. I was at his place and he had nothing to worry about. I had to think cleverly. 

"Umm, Ji Hun-sshi, can you show me where the washroom is?" I asked trying to sound genuine.

"Ohh! Sure, just go straight from here and take a left." he guided and I was sure he did not doubt me. 

"Thank you, can you hold the wine for me? I will be back soon." I said handing over the glass to him. 

I walked straight to the washroom and locked it from inside. First, I needed to calm down. I took a few deep breaths and forgave myself for being so stupid. I had to accept what had happened and use my mind to get out of the situation.

I had told Jae Sung to try and get to the art gallery as soon as possible. Boyoung's cellphone was probably dead. I hoped that was the case and nothing else. I had never been so impatient before. Having a luxurious car was of no use. I felt I should have bought the fastest car instead. 

"Jae sung-ah, be quick," I said panicking.

"I'm trying my best, don't worry she will be okay," he said.
