Attracted To You

Chapter 7

I looked at the clock. It's 2am in the morning and it feels like afternoon. I'm still in Gwangsoo's apartment. Time flew so fast. "It's 2am already. Hul, have we been talking for the past 4 hours?!", I asked them both.

Gwangsoo  looked at his watch, "Daebak. Joong ki,are you ok to drive?"

We finished a bottle of wine. But I didn't really feel drunk.

Joong ki nodded at Gwangsoo's question, "Should I bring you home, Chlo?", he asked.

I stood up from the sofa and helped Gwangsoo with the glasses and dishes,"If it's not too bothersome."

"Of course it's not. Even if it is, Joong ki wouldn't let a woman wonder off in the middle of the night", Gwangsoo said and smiled.

Eventually, Joong ki and I grabbed our coats after cleaning the mess we made. "I had fuuuun! Thanks for inviting me, Gwangsoo.", I said as we went to open the door.

"It was actually Joong ki's idea to invite you.", he said. I saw Joong ki growl in silence and looked at Gwangsoo as if he was about to punch him.

"Really? Why is that Joong ki?", I teased him.

"It's getting late, we should be going. 'Till next time Gwangsoo!", he then said and went to the elevator.

I chuckled and hugged Gwangsoo, "Annyeong, Gwangsoo! Thanks for today, it means a lot."

"No probs! Drive home safely!",he said before he closed the door.

"Ahh! Daebak!! I seriously had the best time,Joong ki!", I nearly screamed.

He chuckled, "Yah, Chlo. Are you drunk?" We just sat there and talked."

I put my head on the side window of the car,"I know, but that's what I really like. I like spending time talking or just sitting around talking about life. Rather that going out or go to clubs where you can't even hear each other."

I then caught him glance at me for a moment and smiled.

And with that we drove and he brought me home.

I woke up in the morning. My eyes weren't even open yet as I heard my phone ring.

"Hello?", I said with a lazy voice.

"Yah, Chloe!! Where are you? The photographer is waiting already! Did you forget about your photoshoot?!", my manager nearly screamed.

I opened my eyes and looked at the clock.

Omo. "I'm on my way!!", I said and put the phone down.

I quickly put on my outfit for the day which I didn't even bother to look at. I headed to my car and drove away.

As I arrived on set, the photographer was boiling red from anger.
"TIME IS MONEY!"
Fortunately, my manager called him and talked it over the phone.

Great. This day keeps getting better and better.

At lunch, I was once again bored and hungry. But today's much weirder than usual. I could feel the anger of the photographer and also from the staff because I kept them waiting in the morning. I kept saying sorry all over again. I took my  phone out and looked at the messages.

Where's Joong ki...

I thought of dialing him, but maybe he's busy. So instead I just texted him.

To: Joong ki

The photographer yelled at me this morning. I was late again...

Sent.

I sighed. Break was over and I had to go back to work.

*

After the photoshoot, I said my goodbyes to the staff and went to my car.

I grabbed my phone from my bag and saw 2 missed calls. Joong ki?
I sighed in disappointment as I saw that it was only my manger.

I drove away and  didn't even bother to call my manager back, knowing that he'll only scream at me.

*
2 weeks have passed and I currently  found myself in the studio with my song co-writer, just jamming to newly made music.

"Ok, Chlo. I just listened to that one song you sent me yesterday. It's pretty good. But isn't it kind of slow and sad? Your image doesn't really connect with it.", he said.

"I know. I just wanted to try something new.", I answered as I was looking through my phone.

There was still no sign of Joong ki. Did I do something wrong?

Suddenly my phone rang, "Chlo! How are you!"

"Oh, Gwangsoo!", I tell the person in the other line. A part of me was expecting Joong ki, but the other part of me is happy that Gwangsoo called.

"Long time no talk. Sorry, these past few weeks were a little hectic because of Running man. We just came back from Thailand after filming.", he explained.

"It's ok. I'm glad you called. I miss you guys. Tell the others I miss them too and hope I can film Running man again."

"Sure, I'll tell them. So how's Joong ki?", he then asked.

"I wanted to ask you the same thing. I haven't heard from him since we went to your apartment.", I answered.

"Really? He must be busy. Don't worry, he'll contact you sooner or later."

"But can't he text one sentence to let me know that he's still alive.", I whispered and didn't expect for Gwangsoo to hear.

"Is someone worrying? Ooooh, Chlo. So you admit that you like him, huh.", Gwangsoo teased.

"Yah, do you want to die? Where are you, so that I can kill you.", I said as i stood up.

I hear Gwangsoo laugh at the other end of the line, "I have to go Chlo. You can kill me later. And don't worry about Joong ki. Maybe he's filming for his new drama or something. He can't see other girls when he's got you."

"YAH! That's too much, where are you?! You're dead, Gwangsoo-ah!"

And with that I hear Gwangsoo laugh again and he hang up.

Did that kid just hang up on me...

I sat once again. Thinking about what he said. Maybe he's really busy. Why am I making a fuss about this. And maybe he's just ignoring me, what do I care.

I sighed. Stop it Chlo. Joong ki wouldn't do that.

******

(Ps.: I know this chapter is kind of sad because Joong ki's not answering Chlo. But don't worry!! He'll come back)
