Love Lust & Lies

Chapter 14

The days seemed to drag on. Mrs. Jeon was really wearing out her welcome and I was wearing on my patience. Hana loved getting to hang with me during the days when I didn't have to work. We'd paint and cook meals, and sometimes even go for a ride to the park near JK's place. She loved getting out of the house, since most of her days are spent couped up.

She was a free spirit, so being trapped how she's has been a struggle for her. It's finally the weekend again, and it's been two weeks of living with JK and his family. It's been strange having people at the table for various meals during the day or doing family related things in the evenings.

It almost felt normal, and I hated that. It only made me miss my family as I realized that I hadn't seen them in what felt like ages. I needed to plan a visit to head back home, and since Hana was almost healed, at least enough to not need an aid, it was time.

Pulling out my phone I pulled up JK's number and sent him a text.

Kennie: Hey baby how's your day?

I hated starting off the conversation with such a trivial question. It always seemed like I really didn't give a shit about how his day was.

JK: It'll be better when I get home to you 😘

Kennie: 🤭 Well, I was thinking, there's something we need to talk about.

JK: Ookkaayy, I can call you now.

It was always going to spark concern. But I had to at least prep him for the conversation. I didn't want to throw it on him the second he got through the door.

Kennie: No, it's really best that we have this conversation in person.

JK: Ken, are you breaking up with me?

Why was that the first thing he thought of. I mean I know he's got issues because of JaeSu, but I'd never leave him. I mean not unless he wanted me to.

Kennie:  What! No loser, I just need to talk to you about something that's important. When will you be home?

JK:  You know I'm not going to think about anything else right, until I get home?

Kennie: Yes, I know and I'm sorry, but I promise it's not bad at all. Just important.

JK: Well good thing I'll be home in twenty minutes.

Kennie: Wait! I thought you had to work later today.

Now I was the one that was nervous. I wasn't prepared for him to be home so quickly. I thought I'd have a little bit of time to fully think about what I wanted to say. It's far past due that we have this talk though.

JK: Well, I did until my girlfriend told me she had to talk to me, then my priorities changed.

Kennie: 🥹 Okay, well I'll see you soon. I'll be in your room.

JK: Okay baby, I'll see you soon.

Sitting in his room on the chair in the corner, I stared out the window. I know that I still had about fifteen minutes before he arrived, and my mind was spinning. How was I going to tell him that I was the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in the country. It's not exactly over coffee kind of conversation.

I didn't want to do this blindly. I was so nervous. I didn't want him to know so soon. But I really missed my family. He's protective, and I know that he would want to know where I was headed if I was going to see them.

That fifteen minutes felt like one as I heard the handle of the door jiggle. My head shot over to the doorway as I saw his smiling face peak through. Smiling back, I got up to greet him. Wrapping my arms around his neck he wrapped his around my waist and kissed me gently.
