The Mysterious Escort | JENSOO [20+]

Chapter Nine: The Gummy Smile 🔞

JENNIE'S POV

Eating while sitting on Jisoo's lap had proved to be a challenge. Feeding each other had turned into eating from each other's mouth and we were deliciously entangled in each other's arms. Her sweet and sour attitude was starting to confuse me. I couldn't follow the changes in her personality but being alone, she was sweeter than I had expected.

There was something so fragile about our connection that it made me want to hold on to it. Hold on to her. Everything aside I knew deep inside that there was more to the woman I was in the arms of.

"Timeout," she said and I looked into her eyes to understand what she meant.

"Timeout?" I asked.

"Yes, we should do something else than having sex. I am afraid that you might start to feel uncomfortable because of over stimulation." She said with a serious expression. I had never expected Jisoo to consider my wellbeing while this whole thing was about her needs.

"You are the one paying so you get to decide what's going to happen." I said and felt her tense.

"Would you prefer being somewhere else right now?" Jisoo asked while her dark eyes were still locked on mine.

"No." I said not wanting to upset her but I could have spent this weekend catching up on my readings for the international law class, I thought.

Her eyes scanned mine once more and she started smiling.

"I know you are lying, but I will just accept that." she said and brushed her hand slowly down my arm. "Why did you become an escort?" she asked and I felt a lump in my throat.

Taking a deep breath, I met her eyes once more.

“Financial issues,” I said shortly but that answer was not convincing her entirely. "My roommate moved out a couple of months ago and I couldn't make the ends meet while I was trying to graduate." I said and she nodded silently.

"How about your parents? Why aren't they helping?" she asked and I looked away to avoid her gaze.

"We are not on good terms." I said shortly not wanting to tell the truth.

I didn't want her to know I was an orphan, I simply didn't want her to consider me as charity.

"So, you are telling me that you prefer selling your body instead of reconciling with your family and asking them for help?" she asked and I felt cornered.

"Look, I am not here to talk about myself," I said pushing myself up from her lap.

Grabbing my wrist urgently she pulled me back into her embrace.

"Okay, I will stop with the questions,” she said brushing my hands with her fingertips.

Taking my hand in her she walked out of the living room and grabbed a bottle of champagne from the fridge behind the bar. Walking out to the terrace of the penthouse, I felt the cold breeze under the robe. Letting go of my hand she went over to the hot tub to get it started.

I was busy getting mesmerized by the view of the Seoul. Looking down from the top floor, people looked tiny and the park looked too big and magnificent. As a little girl I had always dreamt of having an apartment nearby Namsam but this wasn't the way that little girl would have wanted to achieve her dreams, I thought.

Yes, I enjoyed the sex but the thing that made it all dirty and unbearable was the transaction, the money. Turning around I found Jisoo observing me and I decided to join her by the hot tub.

"A penny for your thoughts," she said and I looked back at the Seoul view.

"I have always dreamt of living close to Namsan, in fact I moved to New York because of it." I said, remembering the one picture I had seen of the park in a book at the library when I was around six years old. That girl had a big dream for her future.
