The Internship

Chapter Nineteen

"Hobi, are you sure it's okay to use the car? It does belong to the company."

Jisu questioned with concern in her voice, stepping up to the passenger door of the vehicle parked in the dimly lit wide parking garage. Jhope gave a laugh, opening the drivers side of the car.

"Of course. For the tenth time Jisu, they were okay with it. Now sit down in here, so we can go!"

He closed his door as he spoke loudly with enthusiasm. She sighed, crouching into the seat as she closed her door as well.

"Where are we going anyway? You haven't told me yet."

"We are going for a long drive, just enjoying the night fresh air. So please relax, and stop thinking I'm stealing the car."

Jhope answered her question while inserting the key into the ignition, twisting it to make the engine jump, and roar lightly. Jisu gave yet another sigh, sinking into the seat, and resting her elbow on the armrest, doing as told.

Driving through the city and back roads for about an hour, they went back through the busy lanes to go home. They both sat at a red light, talking while waiting.

"It seems like waiting at a red light takes forever."

Jhope whined and groaned, setting his head back. Jisu smiled, speaking up.

"Sometimes I like waiting. You get to look around, or enjoy just sitting here."

"Sitting is boring. Looking around is boring."

He replied quickly, looking over at the girl sitting next to him. She looked over as well, shaking her head.

"No it's not! Look how pretty it is out here, and bright. I find it very entertaining."

The light flashed green, and their car started moving with the line of others. Picking up speed, the wind from the open windows blew around the car, sending cold chills up Jisu.

"Are we almost home? This wind is getting to me."

She spoke with a small laugh. Jhope rolled up the windows, without a word.

"Thanks."

She spoke, and sat back against her seat, thinking to herself.

'I feel like I can only tell him, and I should.'

Jisu looked over at Jhope, who had a smile on his face while focusing on the road. Noticing made her smile lightly, just staring. She didn't realize that's all she was doing.

"Stare much?"

He spoke up with a snide laugh, interrupting her vision. Jisu looked away, eyes wide.

"Oh, um sorry, Jhope."

She gave a hesitant tone, staring through her window. She then heard him laugh, making her confused.

"Don't apologize. Why say sorry for being distracted by my ever so handsome charm? It's uncontrollable to look away you know."

Jisu turned and looked at him with a sarcastic expression. He met her eyes as well, giving yet a big grin.

"If that was the case Hobi, I wouldn't be able to look away all the time."

"I look away so you don't have to. Because I'm afraid my looks will kill!"

Jhope gave a laugh at his own reply, still looking away from the road.

"I'm so done with your idiotic replies."
