MY R.O.D

CHAPTER 37 - SURPRISE

I woke up, feeling kinda cold. I slowly opened my eyes, only to be welcomed by the sun already shining brightly outside, indicating of a brand new day.

I slowly moved myself but I felt a weight on my waist. I tried turning around and found out that I wasn't sleeping alone in this bed. I wander my eyes around and realized that I wasn't in my room but in our guest room instead.

Disregarding all of those, I glued my eyes on the most adorable thing my eyes can stare at for years.

Him sleeping looks so peaceful, like a baby. His mouth slightly open and soft snores can be heard.

I admire each structure on his face, from his forehead up to his chin. Damn, I never thought I can look at him as close as this.

"Done fantasizing with my face?" His voice suddenly echoed in my ear. And due to my shock, he earned a slightly painful hit on the chest by yours truly.

"Don't do that!"

"What? Interrupting your thoughts while looking at me sleeping?"

"Who says I was looking at you? Tsk."

"Still denying? I know you do. I've been awake for quite a while now."

"Oh.. so you're just pretending to be asleep? Rude." I retorted.

He pecked my lips. "Just kidding. I love you staring at me. Do that often." Then he kissed me again. "C'mon... we need to be elsewhere." He unclasped his arm on my waist and started sitting up on the bed.

"Eodi? It's Saturday."

"I know.. but we still need to go somewhere. Get up and go shower. I'll be downstairs and prepare us four breakfast before we leave."

"Alright." I prepared myself to get up. Just then, I suddenly felt pain on my body, specifically on the lower part.

I just shrugged it off then slowly tried getting up again. I removed the blanket that is covering me but I wrapped it again with my eyes as wide as it can ever get.

I don't have any clothes on.

Now I know why I'm feeling cold.

Then it hit me.

Me and Jiyong.... yeah... I knew it. Obeying on his request will do me no good.

He saw me struggling then eyed me. "You okay?"

"No. I'm hurt."

"Why---- oh." then he chuckled, "sorry 'bout that." He offered his hand to me and I gladly took it. "Lemme help you."

Jiyong left me in my room so I can take a shower while he cook breakfast for us all. I rummaged my closet thinking of what to wear especially when I have no idea where we're going. I just chose a denim jacket under a black tank top, black ripped jeans and a white pumps to finish my look. I put on my makeup, eyeliner, eyebrow liner and a nude lipstick will do the trick.

I went down after I've done fixing myself and went straight to the kitchen.

"Good morning!" I greeted my siblings as I saw them sitting with Ji in the dining room.

"Woah~ looking good, noona. Eodi ga?"

"Actually... I have no idea." Then looked at Jiyong.

"Ooh..." he cooed. "Better not go to hard on her hyung." He teased.

"Lee Seunghyun!" I scolded him.

"Noted." Jiyong responded to him which earned him a nice slap on the head by me. "Ouch!" He whined.

"Serves you right." And I sat beside him.

We all eat peacefully together until he spoke. "Harin-ah.. Seunghyun-ah... you want to come with us?"

The two stop eating and looked at him. "Where to, oppa?"

"Uhhmm. Somewhere. It's kinda a secret for now. So.. you in?"

"Yah! Kwon Jiyong! Don't you dare involve my siblings into trouble or you'll get some from me." I said full of authority.

"Relax... we won't be doing anything stupid..."

"..unless you want some." He whispered but is still audible for everyone to hear.

"Oohh.. feisty hyung." Seunghyun cooed.

"Shut up! The both of you."

-----------

We all arrived at exclusive-looking place. Jiyong escorted me out of the car while Harin and Seunghyun got off from the back seat.

The guard just let us in without asking for our identity. Maybe Jiyong is known here.

As soon as we entered, I got shocked by everything I see inside. People wearing formal attire scattered everywhere, chandeliers lighting up the whole area and classical music playing that keeps you calm.

"Ji... what exactly is happening?" I whispered in his ear.

"You'll figure out soon." He pecked my lips. "C'mon.. let's meet everyone." He held my hand and walked towards everyone, Harin and Seunghyun following behind.

"Hey guys!" Ji greeted his parents.

"Jiyong-ah.." his mom greeted him. "Oh! Nice seeing you again, Chaerin." She smiled at me and gave me a warm hug.

"Ne, Mrs. Kwon. Nice seeing you too again."

"Oh! Umma. Appa. These are Chae's siblings, Harin and Seunghyun."

"Annyeonghaseyo." The two bowed and greeted.

"Hello dears. You really look like your sister. You two could be twins." She pinched Harin's cheeks. "And you there, darling, you look like the popular guy in school." She said, pertaining to my brother.

"Ne. Famous for being the most obnoxious student." Harin interjected.

"No I'm not." Seunghyun defended himself then laughter burst out in our mini group.

"Uhh.. where's noona by the way?" Ji butted in.

"Somewhere talking to the guests." His dad answered and he just nodded.

"Well.. since you're already here, why won't we start the party."

-----------

"Attention everyone!" A female voice, standing on the mini stage, holding a mic, gathered everyone's attention. We all turned around and saw that it was Jiyong's sister.

"First of all.. I want to thank all of you for coming. We all know why we're here for, right? This is an annual celebration so we already know why. Anyways... without further ado, let me greet my little brother a very happy happy birthday." She clapped and went down the stage.

I looked at him, shocked. "It's your birthday?"

"Uh-huh." He answered coolly.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I want it to be a surprise."

"I am surprise alright."  I answered a little irritated.

"Hey hey... " he caressed my hand with his thumb. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I never thought you'll take it this way. I just wanted this to be a surprise to you. Please don't be mad."

"Jiyong... I'm not mad. Just... a little upset. You should've told me so I can just at least prepared you something. Now I feel like a bad girlfriend."

"Chae... you're not bad or even close to it. You don't have to give me something, if that's what you're all worried about. I don't need anything else. You is already enough for me." He gave me a kiss. "Now let's get up there." He offered his hand we both went up the stage.
