REVENGE

Chapter 14

                Jiyong now finds himself standing in front of a hotel room. Pondering if he will knock on in it or not.

"1105..."

He gathers all the courage he got that night and place a few knocks on the wooden door. Taking short breaths he waited. But almost a minute passed there's still no response; he can't even hear any movement inside the room. He was about the knock again until a no-makeup Chaerin peeked at the door.

"Hunchae..."

"hey. Sorry. Come in."

Jiyong took the invitation in only to find Chaerin wrapped only in towel with her hair wet.

"I was showering when I heard you knock."

"a-ah. yeah. I-I see." Jiyong answered.

Chaerin noticed Jiyong's nervousness. He can't even look at her directly. She chuckles at his actions.

"You are acting weird Jiyong. As if you've never seen all of this?"

"ahh. Right." Jiyong dared to look at her but he looked away just after a mere second.

"You can sit right there. Let me just finish showering."

Jiyong sat on the edge of the bed then burry his face on his palms.

"augh! Jiyong you can't be like this! Stop acting so weird!"

Chaerin went out of the bathroom only to find Jiyong slapping himself.

"What... are you... doing?"

"Nothing. Just... just waking my senses up. That's all." Jiyong fixes his composure.

"Right."

Jiyong looked at Chaerin while she sits down beside him. She's now smiling at him looking fresh. Chaerin is wearing a black wife beater top and her pajamas with bunny prints. 'She's so adorable' Jiyong thought as he has the urge to pinch her cheeks. Then a hand waves him out of his trance.

"Hey do you want something to eat or tea perhaps?"

"Ah no. I'm good."

He puts his hand on Chaerin's cheek while he caressed it.

"You are still as beautiful when the day I first saw you..."

Looking dearly in her eyes, he sees the girl that he deeply loved. He still can't believe that he let himself leave this precious one to enter his personal hell. Jiyong slowly leans in to claim her lips with eyes tightly shut. Their lips met and Jiyong let his emotions take over him. The kiss was not as intense as earlier instead it was gentler. Nothing is stopping him until he felt a stream of tears leaking out of his eyes. As perplex as he is, Chaerin felt it as well so she took the chance to make some distance between them. Chaerin now looked at him with confused eyes.

"i-I ah... I ..." Jiyong run his fingers to his locks.

"Whats... going on there?" Chaerin asked as she lightly taps Jiyongs head with her index finger.

"Not in there... but in here." He hovers his hand on his chest. "Look. I am deeply sorry about what happened earlier tonight. I know I crossed the line and I should and must not do that. And I didn't come here for...THAT. I just want to be with you tonight that's all." Jiyong continued. "I want to spend time with you as long as I can since you'll be coming back to Korea. I wanted to..."
