"It's pretty late...are you sure you want to stay longer? It's almost midnight? Your guardian must be really worried now."

Yeonjun asked in a concerned tone. I glanced at my watch...11:27... anxiety filled me again. I really don't know how to act in front of him. I don't think he'll let me get away and convince me to be 'honest' again. It's not that I don't like him touching me...it's just that...

"Okay, we can go now. Thanks for accompanying me, Yeonjun."

I told him to go ahead earlier but he insisted to stay with me.

"Hey...whatever is between you and your mysterious sponsor, I hope you'll both resolve it. I don't know if he's aware that...you obviously have feelings for him but Tinee-babe, that situation is pretty complicated. Whatever happens, I'm here."

I smiled and patted his hand;

"Thanks for being a friend, Yeonjun."

"A-and if things didn't go well between you...I..."

I stopped fixing my stuff and waited for him to continue. He wryly smiled and didn't finish his sentence.

"You were saying?..."

He quickly shook his head;

"Nothing. Like what I said, I'll be here."

I gave him a smile and a thumbs up;

"You can always count on me too. Remember that."

Leaning on my car's side, still waiting for Martina to come back, my butlers were patiently standing on the doorway of the manor. I refused dinner and told them I will only have it once she's back. I shifted my weight and thought to myself...

I've never waited for someone this damn patiently. I never wait for anyone. If you're 3 minutes late, fuck it. I don't and won't give a damn.

Well...

Been here for hours.

I checked my phone...I didn't want to send her another message as it may annoy her.

Until the gates opened and a view of a tiny framed lady in such a preppy dress loomed from the towering gates of my territory. I stood straight and watched her walked her way to my direction. A long walk that I was even tempted to drive and just pick her up.

Patience...

I breathed out.

It took her a while before our distance was just a few steps away... a guard was standing beside me. When she approached...eyes cast down, hands calmly linked together. For the first time in my life it felt hard to say something in front of a woman.

It was kinda awkward. 😑
