The Fake Date x Goo Kim

8

Your father answered and you explained everything, about how it was all too much this morning, about how you needed to get out of the house and about where you were right now.

To say he was mad would be an understatement, yet he also understood where you were coming from. He apologized and you did the same. Then you brought up that you were going to stay at a friend's house for the night. That you were only doing this to get some time away and he didn't question you.

He asked if you needed anything, to which you told him you didn't and you would buy anything if you needed it. He told you that was fine, apologized one last time and with that the phone call ended. Now you knew had no choice but to go to Goo's apartment.

You started walking through the rain that was still pouring down, not caring about an umbrella by this point. You just wanted to get somewhere warm and that was hopefully where you were going right now.

After walking about 5 minutes, you looked up at his apartment building that was standing tall just outside the center of Seoul. While doing this you were glad that at some points you did listen to the idiot while he was talking, otherwise you wouldn't have known about him living so close to where you currently were.

You were also happy that you were almost there. Excited almost. Maybe due to this being one of the most 'rebellious' things you've done especially in recent years - but oh well, you needed to get out even for one night.

After another 7 minutes, and getting slightly lost trying to find the entrance, you eventually made it. You were outside his apartment building, getting ready to walk inside. You took a breath and did just that.

Security was looking at you as if you didn't belong there. I mean you couldn't blame them. Soaking wet hair, clothes that were now stuck to your body and dripping water all over the floor. Yeah - you couldn't blame them for thinking that.

Either way you walked past slightly nervous, while also trying to crack a joke about how wet it was outside. But to no avail, there wasn't even a small chuckle from any of them, not even the receptionist.

You continued on, trying to look like you knew where you were going so nobody would question you. You got into the elevator with no questions asked, but distasteful staring looking your way as you were leaving wet footprints on the marble as you walked through the lobby.

In the elevator you clicked 2 floor buttons that you thought his apartment could be on, the first being the 14th floor and the second being the 16th. In your mind, you thought that if those floors weren't where his apartment was then it had to be the 15th. When the doors opened up on the 14th floor, you knew that this wasn't the right floor when the apartments didn't look "expensive" enough - at least not for Goo.

You then reached the 16th floor where all of the penthouse apartments were and then you knew you were right with at least one of your three guesses.

Penthouse apartment number 113, that was his. You remembered because anything with the number 13 always stuck in your head for some odd reason. You stepped out, not knowing if someone else would see you and judge you even more than the security or receptionist had when you arrived.

There was no one. You breathed a sigh of relief and started to walk to his door, rehearsing what you could say to persuade him to let you into his home.

Then it hit you, what if he wasn't there?. What if he was out? What if your father had called ahead and warned him that you might be coming, that he would then come and get you if you showed up at Goo's?.

No, you had to clear your mind. Plus you also told your father that you would be staying at a friend's house, so why would he question you.

You arrived in front of his door, it was almost obnoxious as Goo himself. Gold outlines of vines spewed across the matt black door. A gold doorbell at the side of his door, along with a gold door knocker with a wolf's face on it?.

You looked disgustingly at the door knocker, but again this was Goo's apartment you thought, so this was normal. He liked money and even though he didn't like spending it all that often, when he did, he really went all out on expensive things. But then again money can't always buy taste...clearly.

By this point you had enough courage to ring the doorbell and so you did. Ring... wait...nothing. Ring...wait...nothing. Ring...wait...nothing.

In that instant your fear was coming to life. He wasn't there. What were you going to do now?. Go back into the rain?. Try to call a friend at 8:13pm and hope that their parents would let you stay with, well, nothing for one night just because you didn't want to go home and was too stubborn to let your father have someone drop things off?.

You thought for another minute and then gave the bell one last ring, hoping that he was in. Ring...wait...nothi - in that moment the door slammed open, revealing Goo with no glasses on, his hair and body just as wet as yours and a towel wrapped around his waist.

He was in the shower. That's why he wasn't answering. Goo clicked his fingers in your face a few times before you snapped back from your thoughts and then he spoke.

"My eyes are up here princess" he said with a slight bit of sarcasm, adding the nickname that you hated for good measure.

"Huh?" You muttered confused.

"What too shy to admit that you've wanted to see my abs all this time, that's ok, here you go" Goo said with all the flirtiness and sarcasm he could muster.

You let out a sigh along with a small chuckle, before you spoke again.

"Listen Goo, I'm not here for you I... I need a place to stay tonight, so can I stay here?" You say with a hint of sadness in your voice.

Goo looks at you for a moment before the smile tugging on his lips, drops to a straight line . Then without another word he moves aside, letting you in. No questions, no snarkiness, nothing, just Goo purely showing kindness.

You walk inside taking in all the expensive furniture. The dark wallpaper and paint, with accents of blue, gold and silver in different parts of the house. It was a bit different from what you had expected, especially for Goo. I mean he always wears bright colors.

The door shuts and then you hear a lock click into place. Much like when the door slammed open, the door locking snapped you out of your train of thought.

You turn to Goo, then just stare because you don't know what to say. You expected him to put up more of a fight. To question you on why you were here. Hell, you even expected him not to be here or even for him not to let you inside. But this scenario, you didn't plan for. You hadn't even thought it was a possibility. Goo saying a few sarcastic and flirtatious comments like he always did, even while being an ass and then letting you in when you said you needed a place to stay for the night. This was not something you were expecting - you didn't expect kindness from him at all.
