Sweet Like Sugar // Jung Hoseok ✔

Chapter $ 2

The text message came three days later.

And for those three days, you had almost forgotten about him while you continued your low pay jobs such as babysitting the neighbor's children and whatnot. Keyword being almost. The truth was, you had thought he had forgotten about you, which made you even more bitter towards the man identified as Jung Hoseok.

Baby Minho was sleeping peacefully in your arms, with drool falling down the side of his baby blue pacifier. His light snores were barely audible, but you could tell they were there from the rise and fall of his chest which displayed his dimples little at a time. 

Taemin and Key were in front of the television play fighting, yet again. You eventually lost the energy to tell them to stop, so instead, you told them to keep it down as to not wake their baby brother. A couple vibrates at once caught your attention and with little movement, you reached over and picked up your phone. 

Tomorrow Night, 8:00 pm

Meet me at Sonyeondan's. 

Wear something fancy.

You blinked a couple of times and re-read the three sentences. Sonyeondan's was a place you were unfamilial with. You were about to respond when your phone vibrated in your hand once again. 

Don't forget your clothes.

With an unamused scoffed, you rolled your eyes. Of course, you wouldn't forget, it's the only reason you were conversing with this fool. 

You waited until Jonghyun, your neighbor, came back for his kids before you started to search said Sonyeondan's. The first picture that popped up revealed a picture of a two-story building. Glass windows publicized the mellow interior illuminated with candles. If you squinted, you could see paintings decorating the walls. 

A gasp left your mouth. Did he want to take you there?

Moments later you had your phone in your hand dialing the man with the name Rich Bitch under your contact list. 

"Hello," Hoseok answered the phone. The rasp in his voice, surprised you because it was as if he had just woke up. 

"You can't take me there." You cut straight to the chase. 

"Why not?" 

"B-because..." Your voice trailed off not having a legitimate reason.

Hoseok must've noticed your hesitation and didn't bother waiting for you to come up with an answer. "I just want to have a meal with a beautiful lady. If the problem is that you don't have any clothes within that specific area I am more than happy to take you shopping before hand. Or perhaps you don't think you'd fit into such an environment just tell me." 

A frown spread upon your lips. How dare he target your insecurities all in one go like that!? You wanted to slap the man. It was as if he was reading you and the thought sent literal chills down your spine. "No. I just don't want to go on a date with you. I'd prefer it if I gave you the clothes elsewhere." 

He released a rich laugh. "With all due respect. I'm not letting you cancel this meeting. I'll take you shopping, don't worry about clothes coffee girl." 

He said the nickname effortlessly before ending the call yet again. Another unsuccessful call with the demanding Jung Hoseok.
