That Smuggler

Chapter 3

"What the fuck?! "

Seong-ji yelled in disappointment cause the office breaking hour is 9 pm but it was literally 11:35 pm. She fastly got up and prepared her bag to go home.

"How didn't anyone bother to wake me up?!"

The whole building was full of darkness. Only some tables could be sensed in the dark. Seong-ji was heading to the stairs when she noticed a dark shadow moving few meters away from her. It was a male figure. Seong-ji got in her fight position ready to chop whoever the figure was...A little bit of fear was mixed with her bold position.

As she was about to hit the figure, it calmly spoke,

"Granny? What are you doing at this hour? "

"Sung-hoon??"

"Yes, it's me.. "-the figure spoke while approaching her.

Seong-ji: Oh boy... You scared me. I was going to get the stairs to leave the office... I had extra hours so.. I'm late

Sung-hoon :Do you live near?..

Seong-ji :Um.. Yeah kind of.. Hehe

Sung-hoon : Oh.. Well I also had too many works undone... So I'm also late..

He said in a childish tone while stretching his arms... Cute

Seong-ji was about to go down by stairs but Sung-hoon stopped her and spoke,
"Granny,there's an elevator present here..why are you using the stairs?"

"N-no my son.. I'm okay with the stairs.. Elevators are for the new generation hehe... You go-"

"Come in the elevator with me,granny."

He said while entering the elevator and pressing the G floor button. Seong-ji thought to herself,

'Okay don't deny it now, Seong-ji..He offered you, so you should go with him!'

She slowly entered the elevator after Sung-hoon. As the doors got closed, Sung-hoon rested his exhausted body on the cold metal of the elevator. Seong-ji took a glance of him with her side eyes.

Seong-ji's POV:
I took a quick sight of his face carefully for the first time. Well, he's so cool. Not gonna deny the fact that he's obviously good-looking. I peeked again at his face.Those little drops of sweat on his forehead and neck are looking damn! I can't move my eyes from him... His sharp jawlines are just... Ugh.. I have to stop thinking these! I'm in a mission why do I forget?

"Is anything wrong, granny? "-he said with a concerned face.

" Huh?... Well.. N-nothing! "

Then suddenly, the elevator lights started blinking non stop and the elevator started to shake.

"What's happening? "

Sung-hoon said while his eyes were traveling everywhere of the elevator. Seong-ji fell on the ground because of the shakings. Then, with a loud bang, the lights went out and the elevator stopped shaking.

"Are we...stuck?"

Seong-ji didn't get any reply from Sung-hoon. He tried to stay calm while worries gathered in his mind. He gazed down at his leg and found Seong-ji hugging his leg. Because of the darkness, he couldn't see that Seong-ji closed her eyes tightly.

Sung-hoon let out a sigh and tried to remove her from his leg but failed.

"Leave my leg, granny! "

"Um.. I'm afraid of the dark! "
