THE EX { ChaeSoo| Rosé G!P }✔️

CHAPTER 9

Krystal  has started working as Haein's secretary. A week and a half had passed since she resumed. Everything had been going steady and Haein  was happy that his secretary was someone he was familiar with.

Haein worked late one night. After a
while, he decided it was time he went
home to rest, he would continue with
his unfinished work the next day. He
carried his briefcase and switched off
the lights in his office. He came out of
his office and saw Krystal  still working. He looked around and noticed that she was the only one remaining on that floor.

"Krystal, why are you still here?"

She lifted her head from the pile of
papers she was arranging.

"Working," she replied.

"You can do that tomorrow. You don't
have to stay this late," he said worried
that she chose to still work at this hour.

"I'll be honest with you.." She began,
"I was waiting for you. You looked
busy in there and I thought maybe you might need something... So, that's why I decided to wait and at the same time keep myself busy."

Haein was surprised at what Krystal just said.

"Wow! I'm sorry about that. I should've relieved you earlier."

"That's not a problem. You had no idea I wanted to wait."

"So, um. You've got a ride?" He asked
her.

"No, I'll take a cab."

"No no!I can't let you take a cab at this
hour. It's too late... Please let me drop
you off at your place."

Haein  didn't want Krystal  leaving at that time of the night with a cab. It was 8:45 pm and for a lady, being alone at that hour was dangerous.

Krystal thought about it for a minute and decided to accept his offer.

"Okay. Thanks."

"You don't need to thank me. Besides,
you're still here because of me."

She smiled at what he said and began
keeping the files. She packed her bag
while Haein  waited for her. As soon as she was done, they left the office.

Haein arrived at Krystal's house after a 30-minute drive.

"So, this is where you live?"

"Yes," Krystal replied.

"Haein, thanks for the ride."

"Oh please, it's nothing. Don't thank
me."

Krystal  was about to get out of the car
when she suddenly changed her mind.

"I know it's late but would you like to
come inside for a while She asked.

Haein  began contemplating in his mind whether to say yes or no. He then came to the conclusion that going inside for a little while wouldn't hurt.

"Sure. Why not," he replied.

Krystal was excited. They got out of the car and Krystal  opened the door to her house so that they could both enter inside, it was a nice bungalow.

"You have a lovely place," Haein said to Krystal while still taking his time to look around.

"Thanks."

Krystal  offered him a seat while she went to get something for them to drink. He sat in the living room waiting for Krystal  when he saw a call from Jisoo. He kept staring at the phone, pondering whether or not to pick up the call.

He decided to ignore the call and
concluded that he would call her later
or probably the next day. Krystal came out of the kitchen with two
glasses of wine.

"Here," she said to Haein  handing him his drink.

She then sat down on the couch and
took a sip of her wine.

"Haein?" She began,

"Mm?"

"I don't know how to say this but, um..." She gulped her wine and emptied the glass.

Haein, on the other hand, was
wondering why she became nervous
all of a sudden.

"I'm sorry, I left. I didn't mean to do it," she said then started crying.

"I just don't know what happened. I
was so confused at that time, I wasn't
thinking straight... I know I hurt you
and I'm sorry about that... I wasn't
sure of my feelings then, I only
wanted to think things through but
I was so selfish. I didn't think about
how you were going to take it. I know
I should've told you but I was only
thinking about myself... I'm so sorry, Haein." She began sniffling, trying
to stop her tears from continuously
falling.

"I came back to look for you, Haein,  and I'm glad I did." she continued.

She was now holding onto Haein's
hands and staring at his eyes.

"I came back to find you, to ask for
your forgiveness... I now realize how
stupid I was to have left you. I love you, Haein, I do love you."

At that moment, Haein  was speechless. He didn't know what to say because Krystal's confession took him by surprise. Before he could think of a reply, Krystal was already leaning in to kiss him, the kiss was slow and soft, and before Haein
knew it, he was kissing back.

The kiss became heated and he placed
her on the couch while he straddled
on top of her, she began taking off his
clothes and he didn't object. It turned
into a make-out session and right there on the couch, Haein  made love to Krystal.
