The Great Seducer : Another Road

Chapter 17

Shihyun arrived at his apartment past midnight. He opens the door slowly and found Sooji curled up in the sofa in the living room. With take out boxes at the table. He sighs. Feeling guilty. She must be waiting for him. He hangs his coat and picks Sooji up carefully. Move him to their bedroom. He lays at her side and staring at her peaceful face. He strokes her hair gently, afraid to wake her up but really can't hold the urges to just touch her and feel her presences.

Sooji opened her eyes. His cold hands on her cheek wake her up. "Hmm...you're home...", she said still sleepy.

"Yeah....I am home..."

"I fell asleep....", her voice hoarse.

"I am sorry...", Shihyun suddenly felt guilty.

"Sorry? Why?"

"For coming home late..."

"You must be really tired...", Sooji cupped his face with her hands. His cheeks feel cold in her touch. So she's stroking it slowly to warm him. "Have you eat?"

Shihyun shakes his head. "But I don't want to eat....I want to sleep...."

"Okay..."

"Wait....", Shihyun gets up and changes into shorts and t-shirts. Then join Sooji in their bed. "Come here....", Shihyun pulled Sooji in his hugs. Cuddling her.

"Good night Shihyun ah....", Sooji rest her head on Shihyun's chest. His heartbeats are her favorite lullaby.

"Good night Sooji....", he kissed the top of her head. "I am sorry....", he mumbles quietly.

=============

"I can take a cab...", Sooji grabs her purse.

"You can...but you don't need to...I'll drop you at your studio....", Shihyun put on his jacket suit.

"But you're going to be late....", her studio and his office were in the opposite direction.

"I wont....", he smirked.

"Yaa!! Kwon Shihyun! Don't you dare speeding up just so you won't be late!", Sooji glares at him. She really hates it when he did that.

"Relax....I won't....I don't have any early meeting...besides I deserved to be late after all night spent in the office...", he smiles. "Come on my lady...."

Sooji rolls her eyes but circles her hand on his arms.

=========

Shihyun opens the car door for her and then run to the other side. Sooji just sits down when she felt like she sits on something. She takes that thing from the car seat. It's a necklace. Not an ordinary necklace. It's the necklace that Shihyun gave to Taehee. She won't forget that night, she can still remember it clearly, how broken she was when he said that, he didn't like her anymore. That night she knew, he chooses Taehee over her. Why would that necklace be in his car? Did Taehee give it back to him? When? Did Taehee was here? In his car?

"Hi...are you okay?"

"Huh?", Shihyun's voice startled her. She clutched the necklace. "Yeah...I am good..."

"You look worried...", and it makes Shihyun worried.

"I am just spaced out....", Sooji said coldly. She knows that she should ask him about that necklace. But she was too shocked, she can't think clearly now. She doesn't want them to get into another fight.

Shihyun looks at her curiously, wondering what is the cause of her sudden mood change. But he doesn't ask her, because he knew her enough that she doesn't want to talk about it now.
