not so Fake Love

Chapter 9

Shihyun opens his eyes slowly and smiles when the first thing he saw is Sooji's sleeping face. She looks angelic. He sleeps soundly last night. It feels good especially after a sleepless night the day before. Of course, it has nothing to do with Sooji being here, beside him. Shihyun tried to convince himself.

He was staring at her when she suddenly opens her eyes. He wanted to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, but it was too late. He got starstruck with her eyes. He never noticed that before, but when the morning light hit her eyes, it turns to honey colour. Or is it gold? It's shinning and he can't stop staring at it.

"Shihyun ah....", Sooji calls her for the third times.

"Huh?", Shihyun startled

"Why are you staring?"

"It's just...", Shihyun is stammering. "You're drooling...", he blurts out.

"Huh? Really??", Sooji hurriedly wipes her lips. But she finds nothing. "Yaaa!!! You're lying...", she hits him annoyed.

Shihyun is just grinning. Teasing her feels like a good way to start his morning.

"What do you want to eat for breakfast?", Shihyun asks. It's a Saturday. So Shihyun was pretty sure Sooji has no class schedule.

"Hmm...", she was thinking when her phone suddenly ringing.

"Hello...", she picks it up.

"Morning Sooji ah..."

"Oppa...", Sooji is surprised with Wooshik's call. She doesn't notice the man beside her frowning.

"Did I wake you?"

"No...it's okay Oppa...I am already awake...why? Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing...just curious, do you have a plan for tonight? Because I have a live performance tonight...and you can come to watch if you wanted to..."

"Tonight?", Sooji asks excitedly. She wanted to see him perform again. Like the old days.

"DON'T FORGET WE HAVE DINNER WITH OUR MOM AND DAD TONIGHT!", Shihyun yells with an unnecessarily loud voice.

Sooji glares at him. They are just 10 inches apart for God's sake.

"Who is it?", Wooshik asks curiously.

"It's umm....my driver...he reminds me I have an appointment with my mom tonight..."

"Oh...", Wooshik sounds disappointed.

"I am sorry oppa...next time?"

"Next time...Bye Sooji ah..."

"Bye oppa..."

Sooji hangs up the phone then glares at Shihyun. "Why did you do that?"

"Do what??", Shihyun asks innocently.

"Okay..forget it...", Sooji sighs. It's too early to argue with Shihyun.

"So...I am your driver now?"

"What should I tell him? It's my annoying husband?"

Shihyun froze for a second. It was an insult. But the way Sooji referred him as her husband, doing something weird with his heart. Okay, maybe it was because he hasn't had his coffee yet. "You could say that..."

"Seriously??", she rolls her eyes then leave him to make a coffee. She needs her coffee to deal with this man.
