Blood and Roses (DaraGon)

Chapter Seventeen

--Sandara's POV--

DAY FOUR

So, do I really love Jiyong after all?

The day after we slept together, I couldn't stop thinking about him during work.

I have to concentrate on my chores here. I shouldn't think about anything else!

...So I say to myself, but I'm helpless.

Jiyong...

I spotted him as I was passing by the lobby. He saw me too, and walked towards my direction.

A little distance away, I see Seung Hyun.

"When did you get back to your room?" Jiyong said as soon as he reached me.

"Hm?"

"You were gone when I woke up. Don't leave my room without my permission." He said grimly.

*chuckles*

"What's so funny?" he asked, his eyebrows raising up.

"Nothing," I said.

He hasn't changed the way he talks since yesterday, but now I don't feel unpleasant when he orders me things.

What a miracle...

"Strange girl."

He whispered something but I wasn't able to hear it.

Jiyong then runs his fingers through my hair. His hands move from my hair to my cheek.

"Jiyong..."

I put my hand on top of his, which was caressing my face.

"I'm sorry I left without saying anything. You were sleeping so peacefully... I just thought I shouldn't wake you," I said while holding his hands and looking into his blue eyes.

"Next time, just wake me up," he said before kissing my forehead.

"Alright, I will," I replied, giving him a genuine smile.

Next time, huh? It feels a little ticklish...

Just when I remember the kiss with Jiyong and am about to be lost in a sweet memory--

I hear a grumpy voice behind me.

"Oh, so is that it?"

"Seung Hyun?"

I turned to see the source of that grumpy voice.

"You two make it too obvious." Seung Hyun, coming nearer at us with Youngbae, looks at us both in turns.

Then he says--

"So, Jiyong. Have you told Sandara about her role yet?"

My... role?

"She seemed keen to know yesterday," Seung Hyun added.

"I haven't told her yet," Jiyong said, who is now trying to avoid his gaze from me.

"Jiyong? What is that about?" I asked.

"Youngbae, you tell her," Seung Hyun nudged Youngbae.

"Looks like I have no choice." Youngbae mutters as if it is bothersome and turns to me.

"How much do you know about Tablo?" he asked.
