Eyes Don't Lie

chapter 16

Next day mingyu told Yuna that she doesn't need to pick wafiyah as he'll be accompanying her so when she came out of dorm she didn't expect to find him instead of Yuna. He lied that Yuna might get late so she asked him to pick her up "she didn't tell me though " she utters in confusion  "do you not trust me why would I make up a lie and come all the way here in this morning and you know I'm not a morning person" he whines pouting as they wait for taxi "mingyu for heaven sake stop making silly faces people will think I'm a babysitter of a grown up man". A cab stops in front of them "you will sit in passenger seat in the front " she points finger at him assertively, he opened the door and bows 90 degree "as the queen wish" and close it after she gets in. The drive to office was mostly silent just him calling her name from time to time "I'm just making sure you're alive and doing well in the back" she shakes her head at his antics. Mingyu was about to pay but she took the lead and got out of car followed by an angry mingyu throwing tantrums "wafiyah stop right there" he says but she continued to walk away so he run and stand in front of her spreading his arms "what do you want mingyu it's too early to pester me so get away" she dunks her head and walk toward their office building "I'm the man I should pay not you you need to learn your religion properly miss" she glares at him "Excuse me mister Alhamdulliah I know and it states that father brother husband or son are responsible not a class mate" she greets the security and staff on the entrance "so it means I have only one option" she squints her eyes not understanding he elaborates "to become your husband and pay for things" "Astagfirullah mingyu watch before you speak " she scolds him and walk in the elevator before its closed Mr park and Jia were also there "Mr park am I wrong?" He smiles kindly "what am I missing?" Mr park inquires "man should pay and in Wafiyah's religion only her father, brother husband and son can pay so I've no other choice but one so she doesn't have to spend on petty things" wafiyah rolls her eyes making them laugh "don't listen to him he's a stupid human" Jia and Mr park agrees. They walk to their respective departments "Miss wafiyah please return the files I gave you before I leave for Japan okay" she nods and went to her office "when are you guys leaving?" She asks Jia " around 11 I think" she gives a final touch to the reports and made her way to Mr park's office. She was coming back after handing over the documents when Mr. Jeesung met her "oh wafiyah" she turns greeting him "good morning Sir" he was in his late 60s and spend all his youth serving this company with hard work and dedication. She got near him as he was gradually losing his sense of hearing but always refused to retire saying he was still fit and could out do the young generation "could you help me with these" he points at the cardboard box "of course Sir " she crouched down and picked it up "it's confidential be very careful" she nods "now take it to jungkook's office and tell him that It has the samples he must check them soon and return the finalized product" she halts staring at him wide eyed "come on be quick I'm trusting you don't let me down" she reluctantly leave from there holding the box tightly 'Ya Allah why did I urged on studying abroad' she regrets. She breathes and peeks in the office but he wasn't there thanking Allah she went in with quick steps and put the box on table and ran before jungkook could appear she was about to open the door but a hand forced it back "next time check the whole room before sneaking in" He rasps out making her freez at the spot. She was afraid of looking back but trusted him enough that he'd keep the distance, her heart thumped in her throat. She was praying he will let go of the door so she can run away from him "Wafiyah" it came out like a plea "yes" she heard him inhale sharply and then there was some shuffle. She turned around keeping her gaze down "good morning Sir" she greets but doesn't get any response "Sir jeesung said these are samples and" "I don't wanna hear that" she stops mid sentence "I'm going to Japan I don't know for how many days all I know is that I won't be able to see you and I don't think I can live like that" she gulps nervously "the thought of being far from you is killing me" she looks at him and she can see it in his eyes, the sincerity and truthfulness "Sir I beg you please don't say things like that I don't want you to suffer because of me" He shakes his head "You've no idea how beautiful my life has become now that you're a part of it, I want to wake up everyday so I can see you, I want to come to work so I can hear your voice, i even like my name now that you've started calling me by. you're everything but a pain or distress never think of yourself like that again" she stare at him long and hard not uttering a word as he looks back at her and it's the first time she held the contact for so long " I should leave now" she says finally but he steps close "don't.... stay with me until I leave" she hides her face in her palms "I'm begging you jungkook don't make it difficult for both of us I can't do it you know i can't " her words were muffled but he heard them clear "why not it's not like I will touch or get close to you " she sighs "it's not about that how do I make you understand " "Jungkook I can't displease Allah to make you happy I can't reciprocate your feelings"  "what should I do to be able to love you without displeasing your God?" He says it so innocently that make her want to protect him. They were interrupted by a knock she step aside creating a decent amount of distance between them "come in" mingyu enters with some files in his hand, "Sir  sign these documents I've to return it back to finance department" jungkook nods and marched toward his seat. He asks what she was doing there so she points toward the box, he squints his eyes at her "with all due respect sir, I don't understand why do you make her do such insignificant and irrelevant things. We are here to learn how things work and where all resources are utilized not to carry boxes and cats around" her eyes widened as mingyu said that to jungkook who was taken aback at the sudden outbreak "mingyu" she whispers through her teeth but he kept looking ahead at jungkook asking for explanation "and above that you've put her with miss Choi knowing well that she only arrange your schedule and has no knowledge of things we are here to learn may I know why?" He kept going without any fear or regret "you're in no position to question my decisions get that in your head" jungkook says calmly "then I'll take the matter to one who can question your decision because I'll not tolerate this biasedness toward wafiyah" jungkook walked upto him both stared at eachother trying to dominate and to jungkook dismay mingyu had an inch over him "go ahead I'd like to see who have enough guts to challenge me" she had to interfere before the situation get worst "Sir I'm so sorry he didn't mean to come off as rude or impudent he was just being a concerned associate. I sincerely apologize on his behalf " she pulls mingyu from hem of his coat making him stumble backwards and pulled him out of room but the instigator he was, smirked at jungkook while be was being pulled out of room by her. The action agitated him and if it wasn't a work place he would've shown mingyu his place so all he could do right now was punch the box damaging the samples. "mingyu are you out of your mind this isn't how you talk to your boss" she snarls "you're not a puppet I can't see you doing such petty things he needs to know that" he says rather angrily "if the staff ask for help I can't let them down, we help eachother as a team it's also part of our learning " "you are exceptionally intelligent wafiyah this is just a waste of your skills and creativity, I'm telling Miss Shin about it " "mingyu it's fine don't make a big deal out of it, you keep provoking him and it might get you in trouble " he grins "I love troubles  and he's the easiest to deal with" "mingyu I'm warning you don't get into hassle I can't risk my prayers each time by pulling you out of it" he step closer to her "I'm ready to risk it all for you my Queen" "I can't even curse but you're very stupid and stubborn human I've ever seen" she walks away angrily leaving a rather amused smiling devilishly mingyu behind because she was mad and might say things she'd regret later.
