In His Eyes

ch:2 We meet again

Ayeong yawned and slid from her bed slugging slowly over to her cherry wood vanity table looking at herself in the mirror. She gently patted her cheeks making a fake smile to herself.

"Oop hey gorgeous. Ready for another day of hell"?
She then thought about Mr.Park and shuddered hoping not to run into him.
"He is seriously weird..."
After about an hour or so she was finally dressed and ready for work. She wore a white buttondown shirt with a black blazer accompanied by skinny fit black pants and red strappy heels to finish it off.
"Damn...I look cute. I need glasses"
She went through a drawer and pulled out black framed pair. They had silver stripes on both sides. She put them on checking herself out in the mirror.
"Nobody will make fun of me today"
Grabbing her keys and bag she was off to work.

Mr.Park was in his office working on documents as a male walked in bowing to him.

"What can I do for you"?

"You have a call on line one sir"

"Thank you. You can go now" he smiled as he picked up the phone. Quickly his smile faded.

"What do you want"?

"You know what I want sweetie. Don't play dumb"

"I think you have the wrong number" he casually hung up the phone going back to his work as another male walked in.

"Sir. Theres a comotion going on in the lounge" He groaned and stood up from his chair. He was abit frustrated that he kept getting interupted from his work.

"This better be good" both letf making their way to the lounge as Ayeong was pinned to the wall by two women as another took off her glasses and stopmed on them.

"Did you think you were actually cute? Just because Mr.Park saved you, do you think you can walce in here full of pride"? The woman with free hands said.

"No...I...please leave me alone! I didn't do anything wrong"! She began to struggle as she began to tear up.

"Oh but you did little piggy. You thought you dressing like that would make him look at you" she laughed.

"Not even! He's a total weirdo! He called me a fluffy puppy"! She screamed at her. "And those glasses cost more than those cheap shoes you stomped them with"! The woman's face turned dark as she drew her fist back before striking her in the stomach. Ayeong whined in pain as she tried to hold herself up. She managed to mutter more words.

"You can bully and hurt me all you want...but it won't change how unhappy you are with yourself....atleast I love myself.."

"What did you say bitch"?! All three women the wrestled her to the ground kicking her and tearing her clothes. All of this came to a stop as Mr.Park ran in throwing them all off and bracing Ayeong with his body .

"FIRED! ALL THREE OF YOU! get out right now...you and your belongings better be gone before the authorities show up"

"But Mr.Park...."

"Get the fuck outta here already"!

Everyone covered their mouths in shock. They had never seen him that way before. They were slightly frightened. Taking off his blazer he wrapped it around her pulling her from the floor.

"Lets go" she nodded and followed him out. She couldn't contain her crying as he led her to his office closing the door behind them.
"Ayeong... I'm sending you on a payed leave. I didn't know there were others bullying you too. Look what those broads did to your cute little face and outfit. They won't be hired anywhere after this" he began to grind his teeth crossing his arms. Suddenly a warmth wrapped around him and he became flustered. She had wrapped her arms around him hugging him tight.

"Mr.Park...its ok..." All he could do was sigh in reply and hug her back. About an hour later he was done with her paperwork and ready to send her off but he paused and looked at her.

"Are you hungry at all"? She wiped her face and perked up abit looking at him curiously.

"Hungry? Maybe just a little...why"?
He then shot her a big grin as he stood up handing her papers. Looking him up and down she took them.

"After we get you something to put on we are going to eat. Lets go to your office and get your belongings".
Everything was happening  so fast that she was in a state of shock the whole time. Next thing you know, both were sitting across from eachother at a "hole in the wall" restaurant.

"Get anything you want"

"Mr.Park are you sure..."

"Yes I am . Go ahead and order"

About and hour or two later both spoke like they had been friends since childhood. They cracked jokes and laughed. They even shared stories of their past. Soon they were shooshed by some waiters and that only made them laugh more. Slapping money on the table both stood up and made their exit.

"You really did that Mr.Park? That's not prince like at all" she chuckled at him.

"Please. Call me Jimin"

"Ok...Jimin" she said making air quotes.

After a while they made it back to their cars and Ayeong became a tad flustered.

"Thank you for letting me wear your shirt... I'll return it later"....
With a soft smile he stepped forward petting her head.

"Keep it. It looks cute on you" his eyes were so soft when he looked at her. His hand slowly made its way onto her cheek. She closed her eyes blushing lightly as she gently put her hand ontop of his. His hand felt like it was made of pure silk and warm like a pastry fresh out of the oven.

"I......."

"Shh...."

He leaned his face close to hers. She could feel his breath on her skin. As much as she wanted to jerk back she couldn't. With a swiftness he gave her a light peck on her lips. He was shocked at himself. He never made the first move before. It was like with her he could be.....a man. Her phone began to ring as the both jumped and pulled away from eachother. She took it out and looked at it. She swore under her breath before answering.

"Hello? No no no... I'm on my way. Okayyyyyyyyyyy"
*Click*
"Punk ass"...

"Woah potty mouth. You should go"

"I should before he takes off my head" she smiled nervously.

"Dad"?

"No. Worse. My brother..."

"You should go..." He smiled at her warmly.

"I should. Why don't you come to my house tomorrow for dinner? Also here's my number" she pulled out a sharpie rolling up his sleeve as she wrote the number big and clear.

"Sure why not"? He smiled doing the same to her as she unlocked her car getting in.

"Wait wait...I forgot to give you something.."

"What"? She was curious because she didn't recall him saying he was going to give her something. He grinned as he put his hand into his shirt pulling out a finger heart.

"Here you go puppy"~

"Ah really..dork"..she giggled before closing her door and rolling down the window. "See you tomorrow rice ball"

"Don't call me that"

"Don't call me puppy"

"Touché"

Both smiled as they bidded eachother a gentle kiss and a farewell. As soon as she was out of sight she pulled over   and squealed happily while Mr.Park was in his car cheesing hard. At that point both of them felt happy and free.
