We're finally sitting down. He's right about the view. I can clearly see how snow and the beautiful lights along gangnam street combines perfectly. Jackson sits in front of me facing his fans table. He also does that so that it would be hard for people to look closely at my face. We don't know what those fangirls gonna do right? Minutes later, a male server comes and gives us the menu. Jackson seems to know him and they exchange greetings. "Whaa you're such a social butterfly," i praise him. "Aniya nuna. This restaurant is owned by 2pm hyungs. JYPE artists often come to this place, especially me and Bambam" explains Jackson. Then he makes the order.
What? I haven't even decided which food i'm going to eat. "Hyung, i'd like one beef carbonara, extra cheese and one lasagna for my nuna. Also one chocolate latte and one earl grey hot tea, less sugar please," says Jackson. Whoa. Im shocked that he made my order. I know he always do this when we're eating out but i'm surprised that he ordered my fav pasta. I only order either lasagna or carbonara in Italian bistro. And the fact that he still remember how i like my tea just amazes me. I'm lucky to have him. The server reviews the order and leave us. "Was that alright nuna? I know you would take years to go over the menu and end up ordering the same thing. So i'd rather cut to the chase," says Jackson. "Yeah i'm good. The fact that you still remember those things make me wanna cry," i say honestly. "Aigooo nuna. You can just say i love you too. You rarely say that to me even tho i said that for thousand times!," he replies. Lol he's right. It's just not in my nature to confess love, i'd rather showing it than saying it. "You know what you mean to me," i reply. "Yes i freaking know you love me, nuna. NOW, let's talk about you. Why the heck did you come to Seoul so sudden? I mean, you could choose anywhere else beside Korea. Is this because of your mom? Is eomma alright?," asks Jackson curiously. "Geez, calm down. First, since i graduated a couple months ago, i wanted to do internship abroad. Second, my mom is healthy and perfectly fine. She misses you so much. She was the one who reminds me to meet you since you call her a lot. Third, i have missions. Well, it's not like what you think, Wangja. It's just that i can live freely in here for two months before my internship done and i have to take care of Noah Enterprise," i explain carefully. "Whoa. Alright. So you're going to be the next owner of Noah Enterprise? WHOA. That's huge, nuna! I'm so proud of you," says Jackson. "Technically, yes. BUT, in order to do that, i have to me married first. My dad won't allow me to run the business alone and i won't be the owner, you dummy. I'm just going to learn how to run that company the way my dad did. Hopefully, i will be able to replace him one day," i sigh as i explain. "Mwo? Married? At 23? Mr. Noah must be crazy, nuna. How is it possible for you to find a perfect partner for life in just two months? That's just insane. What happens if you don't? Will he kick you out or what?," asks Jackson. "I know right. I also don't know what he was thinking to give me an ultimatum like that. That is also why i chose Seoul for my two months. I want to know the place where my mom grew up. And i also want to see how well you and Rosé are doing in here, as superstars," i reply calmly. "Aaah. If i couldn't find a decent man, he will probably arrange a marriage for me or something like that," i add. "Wow. Nuna, i'm really speechless. I really don't know that your life would be this complicated. I know as a daughter of Noah Enterprise's owner, your life is tough and full of shitty problems. But i just can't understand about the pressure to be married. In my opinion, your dad just wanted you to get a grip of your love life cuz you seem so ignorant about dating since that high school break up that made you like this. It's actually logical, nuna. You're going to turn 24 next year. When are you going to be married? 30? Or even 40? That's why your dad wants you to find a man while enjoying your internship," explains Jackson. His explanation is actually made sense. "What are you trying to say? Date you?," i ask jokingly. "Aniya nuna. Your whole fam knows that i'm the most important man in your life, beside your daddy of course. The way you treat me is like a sister to her little dongsaeng. But then, you don't really hang out often with other man in your place. I understand perfectly that the security is tight, i even wonder how your dad let you alone in Seoul, knowing that you have no relatives here as you're not close to your mom's family. My point is that, your dad probably wants you to enjoy your life and open up your heart again. It doesn't hurt to try, right? Like as you always say time will heal. Remember?," says Jackson. "You. Want. Me. To. Fall. In. Love. Again." i say coldly. "Yes, nuna. Come on. You can't be that dense. You're gorgeous. To be honest, you are sexy as hell. It seems like your kick boxing classes working out fine. And then, you are smart. You can speak Korean and English. You can cook. You are the daughter of a billionaire. Who doesn't want you, nuna?," says Jackson. I sigh. "This is why it is hard, Wangja. I don't want a man that sees me the way you do. I want him to only be completely smitten by my personality and attitude. The other factor is just a bonus. I don't even care if he has tattoos all over his body. As long as he loves all my flaws. I'll try to open up again" i explain. "Lee Jung Ah. Hear me out," says Jackson. Oh shit. He only calls me that when i'm in trouble. "The biggest problem is that you don't even want to make a room for other man in your life. You are scared that by loving someone, you can possibly experience being hurt again. You don't want someone to brings out the best and worst in you. But then, that's the whole point. If it doesn't hurt, it's not love, nuna," says Jackson looking right into my eyes. Then he takes my hands. "Look at me. Please open yourself. You deserve to be loved. And that person will be the luckiest bastard to have such a sweetheart like you. Just try to open up. I'm begging you, nuna," begs Jackson with his puppy eyes. Damn. It is such a rare sight to see him awfully hurts like this. And it's just because of me not being able to open my heart for someone else. Damn. I really want to see him happy. I rub my hands over him. "Yeah. I'll do that for you," i smile. "Ya! Do it for yourself. I'm doing fine with my love life. I mean i'm single and i love it," says Jackson proudly. This weirdo seriously will turn me into one soft doll. I see a server heading up to our table as i remove my hands from him. "Ya. Our food is coming," i say rather too loudly to Jackson.xxx
"Daebak! This lasagna makes me gone bananas!," i say excitedly. The lasagna taste soooo good, i want to steal the recipe. "How's yours?," i add while steaking some of Jackson's fettuccine carbonara. "Good. It's tasty but i've tasted better carbonara," answers him. "Yep. Totally agree. By the way i haven't told you everything. There is one thing that quite bothering me these days," i confess. Jackson is about to open his mouth when my phone beeps *tring* I look at my phone and see it's from Chanyeol. My god. Isn't he busy? 'Where are you? Busy?''. I reply to his line chat 'Yup. Just catching up with my bro. Are you alright, Chan?'. "Nuna? What did you wanna say?," ask Jackson curiously. My phone beeps again but then i need to explain this to Jackson first. I'll deal with Chanyeol later. "Wangja, promise me you won't spill the beans? Even to Bambam?," i ask him seriously. "What? Uh if that's what you want, i'll do that," he replies. "I hang out with EXO last night," i say. Jackson stops himself from eating and i clearly got his attention. "The text was from Chanyeol. EXO Park Chanyeol," i add. Jackson mouth literally open wide that his right hand cannot cover his open mouth. "Pardon?," he replies. "Yeah. I accidentally met exo in airport and met them again in their fan sign event and Chanyeol saved me a few times. Long story," i explain calmly. Jackson looks confused or more like shocked. He just sitting in front of me, staring deep to my soul. After a minute pass, he finally responds, "What. The. Actual. Fuck?," He looks terribly shock. "Watch your language young man. Yes. I knew exo. I mean i know exo. I was in their loft yesterday. Ask them if you don't believe in me," i explain further wanting him to say something else. "How come? I mean, they are the real deal, nuna. The real deal. It's just that their world and yours don't fit. What...the...heck? Oh my god i'm so speechless right now," replies Jackson. "I know i know! I'm fully aware of that. It's not like i date one of them, u know. I just hang out with them, Jackson. I just think that i probably feel just slightly too comfortable with Chanyeol. I mean he's funny. Looks a lot like you!" i reply cheerfully. "Im sorry, nuna i'm just shock. It's not like i don't like you hanging out with them. They are nice seniors. It's just...never mind. Be careful, okay? I don't want you and them to become one hot world class gossip, okay?," he tries to reply calmly. "I can't protect you, nuna. So is your family. Their fame is on the other level. You will be completely exposed to the world. And Lee Janet will be over," explains Jackson. "Yes i know! Please stop making me hate myself even more for not thinking about those possibilities," i reply. I know its wrong but i'm just, i just want to be happy. Why is it so hard? "I love you, nuna. I really do. But please, do not fall in love, with Chanyeol hyung or whoever it is. I don't want to see my best fucking friend end up disappearing from this world in order to be protected from those crazy fans, media and anything else" Jackson pleads with his eyes. "I love you too much to let that happen, nuna," adds Jackson. D.A.M.N. If i know talking to Jackson would end up like this, i probably wouldn't even mention about exo, at all. BUT honesty is good right? "Nuna?," calls Jackson. I'm staring right into his eyes now. "The fact that i saw a glimpse of your smile whileyou mentioned Chanyeol, i-it explains a lot of things," Jackson adds. Shit. Oh shit. What is he trying to say? Does it mean that i....? Nope. NOPE. I was just happy recalling my time with exo. And also Chanyeol. Holy fuck. Do i.......? "Nuna i'll take care of the bill and i'll drop you off in your place. Do you want to drop by at some place first?," says Jackson. "Alright. I'll see what i want as we walk," i reply shortly.
Pheeew. That was hard talking about those things to Jackson. However, i feel better now knowing my bestie knows everything. I just hope what he said is wrong. The one about me falling for him.
