Loving You the Second Time Around

CHAPTER 3

EUNJI'S POV

"ARE you alright, Junmyeon?" Sandy asked Suho when she noticed that Suho got frozen.

"Hi guys! It's great that you are already here." Mrs.Jeon said as she came to the door.

That's when Suho went back to his senses.

"I-im sorry. Come in ladies." he said still looking at me, making me more nervous.

"Okay... is everything alright here?" Mrs.Jeon asked confusingly.

"Yes." the only word I managed to say.

I felt my breath stopped for a moment every time I take more steps.

We are now inside his house but I feel really suffocated now, and ai just want to ran outside to have some fresh air.

"Wow. You're house is well organized, handsome. Who is your interior designer? I want to renovate my own house. It's kinda plain and boring. On the other hand, your house has fine design. Who wouldn't know that a guy lives here." Sandy said amazingly while roaming her eyes.

"I designed it myself. Thanks Sandy."
I really appreciate it." Suho said, and smiled a little.

"Wow, can I hire you to design my house? For free? I mean, you and Xiumin are friends anyway."

Suho doesn't know how to react. He only smiled and nodded his head making Sandy clap her hands because of too much joy.

"Okay, so now that we are all complete, we can now start discussing to Mr.Kim all the rules and regulation of our neighborhood. Eunji, you can now start. Please do it briefly." Mrs.Jeon said and signaled me to start.

I gulped and started to speak, "o-okay. First of all, w-welcome to our village Mr.Kim. I hope you will live here happily. We have some rules that you should know." I stated, without looking at him.

"All the people who lives in this village are all required to join wholeheartedly all the activities and events here. Next, having a quarrel or fight with the neighbor is prohibited. When 7 pm strikes, no more children are allowed to play on the streets. Holding a party isn't prohibited, just know your limit. Also we have monthly 'general cleaning' in our village, which means all of us must clean our environment together... blaah... blaah... blaah..."

I was still in the midst of discussing the rules when unconsciously my eyes went to look at his face.

It automatically made me stopped for awhile as I saw how he intently looked at me.

No, not only me, but my whole world stop when our eyes met.

I don't know for how long we've been looking at each other. All I know is that I feel something I shouldn't be feeling.

Snap it out Eunji! Concentrate on the rules.. stop staring at him. I scolded myself..

"Ehem... sorry. As a continuation, do not hesitate to ask for a help to your neighbor. Hospitality is a must.. and uh.." I can't concentrate anymore..

Suho kept on looking at me with those eyes, making me feel uncomfortable and conscious..

"And.. uh.." I was lost for words..

"Are you okay Eunji?" Sandy asked me. I shifted my gaze to her.

"Y-yes.. I'm sorry.. I just can't help to remember Myeonji.. she is alone at home.. and—"

"Okay, so I'll continue to discuss the rules. It's okay Eunji, you can now go. I'll take it form here.We wouldn't mind at all." Mrs.Jeon said while smiling at me. I felt guilty because I lied.
