‘Coz every day, every night, I keep looking at the skies

And I’ll pray that someday you will wake up in my arms

And love will never end

We belong together, always and forever

Call my name and I’ll be there. . . . .’

(The song above is entitled I'll be there by Julie Anne San Jose. You can check the MV on this page or in Youtube ^^)

From his not so deep sleep, TOP slowly opened his eyes as the music registers to his sense. With only a very short distance, he again saw very closely the innocent face of Chin but this time without a glass blocking between them. Just like in romantic scenes, their eyes met. From his bold and fierce looking eyes, they turned into a tranquil, soft and a very rare eye expression for a rapper like him. His heartbeat increases and nervously he gulped. This moment seemed to last forever until the book on his chest fell down.

“Aheeem” he quietly cleared his throat and grabbed the book.

I thought that we’ll be staring each other the whole day and thank God, his book ended ‘our awkward moment’. Wow, I commend myself for not ‘spazzing’ right in front of him and for deciding to listen in OPM. It could have been more awkward if one of the Bigbang’s songs played a while ago.

As he grabbed his book, I immediately reached my snickers and turned off my phone.

“S—sir, your food is ready.” I nervously informed him.

Without an answer, he went straight to the dining table and started to eat. While he was eating, I decided to tidy up the sofa...

“You’re name is Chin, right?” he asked as he picks using the metal chopsticks the side dishes and placed them in his bowl.

“Yes, sir.” I  answered.

“Now, I know.” He told himself and smiled.

What? I can understand what he just said. Is he making fun of my name because I’m ‘Chin’?

“Did you take your lunch?” He asked me as he continues to eat.

“Yes, I already did...” I replied.

“Nasa pang-himagas na nga ko eh. (I’m already taking my dessert actually)” I told myself as I stare at him while fixing the cushions on the sofa.

“What? Are you saying something?” He curiously asked.

“Nothing...” I replied with a smile.

Instead of replying, he just continues eating while I continue to tidy up the living room. I just hope that he won’t bring up anything regarding Bigbang or himself as TOP, the rapper, after seeing my socks with his face printed on.

TOP cleared his bowl and began to finish the side dishes until he remembered something...

**FLASHBACK**

A message coming from Seung  Joon:

‘Hey, Chin. Are you free on Saturday? I have something...’

**END OF FLASHBACK**

“Ahh... Chin.” For the first time he called my name.

“Are you going somewhere on Saturday?” he asked.

Out of nowhere, he asked me this random question. Actually, without considering that ‘thief incident’, you know me as a woman who doesn’t jump into conclusion... after checking my calendar in my phone, Of Course. I started placing all my schedules on my phone after almost forgetting my meet-up with Seung Joon the last time. Completely, I answered his question...

“I’ll be meeting my friend on Saturday at the Zoo Cafe but it will be at 6pm, anyway. Don’t worry, I’ll still come here to do the laundry.” I honestly replied.**

For another time, I’m commending again myself for conversing with TOP, my bias, without stuttering. I guess now, I’m getting used to him.

“But I think I won’t be able to come tomorrow because, I need to start researching for my dissertation.” I added.

“So, what time will you finish your dissertation? Because, you still need to do the groceries... the fridge is almost empty...” he told me.

“I think the supplies are still enough up to tomorrow night, if you’ll be around the whole day tomorrow.” I answered.

I guess that he won’t be home tomorrow because; I know that he’s having a shoot for his upcoming drama. It would be very obvious that I follow every updates of him, if I asked why he’s looks not so busy these days.

“Actually, don’t be surprised if you see me around during ‘your working hours’ for this week.” He told me.

I wanted to ask why but I think it’s would be too much if I asked him that. I’m just his housekeeper not a reporter.

“Aren’t you going out with your friends?” I asked. I think that this question is more suitable than asking why.

TOP finished all the food served on the dining table but he remained seated to answer my question.

“I thought that you’re a fan... I mean a VIP (Bigbang’s fandom)...” he answered.

Oh no, what shall I say? I’m now regretting why I asked him that question...

“Ah--- I’m not... I mean, I just love listening to Kpop music... regarding my socks last time, actually, I have lots of them of different artists. It just happened that I wore your design during that day...” I lied. Honestly, I only have three pairs of that kind of socks of different designs but with only one artist, himself, TOP, the rapper.

“Okay... Although, I didn’t ask for your explanation...”

What a relief!! I made him believe my alibi. For the nth time, I again commend myself for not just being a good actress but also for thinking the very best alibi that I can give. I just hope that he won’t caught me that I’m truly and pure-blooded VIP because, this might just complicate things.
