Her Innocence (jensoo)

Chapter 20: formal wear not required

Hours passed by. It is already 6 o'clock in the evening. 6 hours after Jisoo left me. As promised Mr. Shades reheated all my meals much to my embarrassment.

He tried to teach me how to use the microwave. He repeated all the instructions three times so I will not forget it. Confident that I can use this machine without killing myself I transfer my food in a metal bowl to reheat it. I think that metal conducts heat easily so my food will reheat faster than the plastic container. Right?

While I placed the bowl inside the microwave Joe another guard passed by and asked what I was doing.

"I am reheating my dinner"

He peered inside the microwave then comically his eyes widened. I've never seen someone walk from my living room to the kitchen in two steps.

"Miss! Don't close the door!" He reached my side and pushed me a little bit on the side and he opened the microwave and removed the bowl. He is transferring the food from the previous container while scolding me like a child.

"Are you trying to kill yourself? If you are that suicidal do it in another way! Do you want them to put on your death certificate 'dead due to stupidity'? Boss will kill us too even if we survive!" He reprimanded.

"I am not suicidal for your information. I am just trying to reheat my food as instructed by Mr. Shades!"

"Did he or did he not tell you that metals are not allowed inside this thing."

"He just told me utensils so it is a fork and spoon he did not mention any bowls" I explained.

Hearing my explanation Joe mentioned many bad words that I can't even repeat because it is that bad. While we are arguing we did not notice that Jisoo and Mr. Shades were watching us.

"What is happening?" Jisoo approached us.

"Mam" Joe bowed to Jisoo and stepped away to give her space to stand on.

Jisoo assessed the situation and she landed her gaze on me. She looked at me and raised her eyebrow for explanation.

I did not give her any. She faced Joe and That traitor spilled what happened.

In my amazement Jisoo showed at least 2 emotions of amusement and frustration.

She looked at Mr. Shades for further explanation but Mr. Shades raises both his arms to show that he is not involved in this situation. Another traitor in my book.

Finally Jisoo just sighed and ordered the two traitors to leave.

When we are alone Jisoo guided me into the living room and sat me on the sofa beside her.

She faces towards me and swipes her hair. She is really frustrated if she is doing that.

In a soft but firm voice Jisoo said
"Love. What you did a few minutes ago is dangerous. You can hurt or worse kill yourself. If you just press one button the microwave might explode. Do you understand me?"

I nodded. I realize that I am really inept in the technology department.

I bowed my head in embarrassment. How many times did this woman see me at my worst? This is not a good way to impress your crush. Even if I am not experienced in this field I know.

I heard her sigh and lift my face to face her.

"It's okay love. I know you are having a hard time grasping the concept of gadgets or technology in general but please be careful. If you have questions or doubt I am one call away even Jared is here just ask. Okay?"

I just nodded at her. She stares at my eyes as if assuring herself that I understood her instruction. A little bit longer I'll melt how intense she is staring at me.
