YOU

CHAPTER 18

Sungjae had no choice but to stay right beside Joy the whole night, his mother had been badgering him endlessly till he decided to turn off his phone... Joy didn't want to be left alone, the whole night she cried in his arms... it was about 4am in the morning when Sungjae realized that he didn't get to sleep, he smiles seeing joy in his arms, he just wants to stay there like that... he sighs kissing her forehead he just can't stay any longer, he slowly takes her arms one by one away from his chest and kisses her forehead again and again...

"I love you baby..." he muttered slowly opens the door grabbing his keys he didn't want to wake her up, he went outside and sees Irene's restaurant just across the street

"great." he uttered enthusiastically as he heads to the restaurant when he went inside there were a few customers around, he heads to the counter and ordered

"can I have ... your best breakfast meal to go? "

"is that all sir..."

"Nae..." after ordering he heads out the store grinning, he loves making little surprises for her, unexpectedly Irene shows up, it looks like she just arrives the place upon seeing him she immediately frowns and heads straight towards Sungjae

"Mr. Yook!"

"Annyeonghase..." he greeted but cut off by her

"I don't know what's happening between you and Sooyoung, but please!!!! Be more responsible! I heard what happened! I swear to god if I find you toying with her, I will literally crash your balls off araso?" she uttered making Sungjae shock in the moment, he chuckled at the same time surprise for a very little woman like Irene she can be very intimidating and scary, this is the first time she spoke in such a manner to him,

"don't worry ma'am I can assure you that my intentions are pure"

"what do you mean?" she raised her eyebrow as if trying to peel off his invisible mantle around him,

"what I mean is, ahmm" Sungjae stuttered feeling shy saying it... he has never thought about saying it outloud beside Joy, but he did "I love her" he declared feeling a little scared of Irene he knows joy and Irene are close friends, the last thing he wants is to ruin his reputation towards Joy's friends and love ones,

"good! just consider this as a warning... and by the way just call me noona" Irene couldn't stop herself finally she laughs seeing Sungjae's beads of sweat rolls down from his forehead, he just stood there frozen

"Mr. Yook you can breathe now! I'm not going to kill you yet... " Irene stated walking away, when she's finally out of sight he shook his head still feeling a little shaken by her sudden ultimatum... 

after placing the food beside the table of her bed he kisses her on the cheek he just can't believe he's with this woman, he feels so lucky...

...

1 hour later,

"sir please, we need you to change your outfit"

"why?! I like my suit better!"

"but sir..."

"what?! Can you just please stop forcing me to wear those" he snapped at his personal assistant, since he arrived home he couldn't even choose something to wear, everything is prepared by his publicist hired by his mother, he sighs feeling a little overwhelm by everything, "this is what you need to wear today sir..."

"what is the connection with what I wear in the company?"

"just wear it Mr. Yook this is for the company's sake" after he stubbornly refused to wear the clothes his mother gives up "let him wear what he wants we don't have time" his mother uttered coming in from the main door.
