She glanced at the man stuffing his toast in his mouth without even glancing at her. It was weird, despite had been dining with him once, his beautiful eyes were always on her, but now he was staring attentively at his food, as if the food can even communicate with him.
But think about it,even the decorations of his simple bread toast is more prettier than me.
"I'm done," he said suddenly and she widen her eyes. She had just touched her food a little bit, but he had proceed to leave the dining room. She stood up,held his hand to stop him, ignoring the other servant eyeing them in amused.
"Are you sick? You only had a simple toast"
"I'm full, now Chaerin let me-"
"Oh my god! Your ears are red!,"she pointed out and expected his servant to rushed at her,but then all she could heard was small chuckled from them making her raising her eyebrow before turning back her gaze to him. Now he's face was as red as tomato and she touch his cheeks slowly, not realising how her simple action was making the man dizzy.
"You are not sick"
"You are embarassed right?,"she said and let out a small smile. The man looked to the floor,not wanting to lock eyes with her. She was right, he was damn too embarassed because the words he said to her before was unintentionally blurted out and before Chaerin could replied,one of his maid had called them for breakfast,and he abruptly leaved her there.
"You don't have too-"
"I think we need to set boundaries , Miss Chaerin . You being like this will only make things awkward"
She let down her hand,his cold voice hit he like a rock being thrown straight to her face. It was as if he emitted a dark aura and his gaze turned to icy stares. After glaring at his servant who had been giggling that instantly shut their mouth, he left the dining room. Now she was embarrassed,who was she thinking?
Of course a man like him won't even consider her as a friend. Seokjin words before was just to make herself comfortable at his house, no deep meaning in it. She's a pregnant woman who is now under his care until she gave birth and strong enough to work by herself. Seokjin probably sees her as a client only,and it was his job to take care of his client. She sighed and wanted to leave the dining room when Minjoo held her shoulder ,shooking at her.
"Mr Kim want you to have some milk after breakfast. It's good for the baby"
"Yeah,of course he care for the baby,"she mumbled and before Minjoo could ask what did she say, Chaerin took the glass full of milk and gulped it one take before slamming it down to the table back.
"Tell him that I had finished his damned milk and my baby is very happy with it,"she snickered and walked away straight to the stairs. She wanted to stay in her room ,refusing to see Seokjin bipolar attitude and wanted to continue her sleep. Her eyes was already heavy when she had breakfast , probably one of the symptoms.
Before she could step up,her face hit someone board chest,making her look up just to see Seokjin preventing her to climb the stairs.
"You should use the lift"
"No thanks, I'm okay with the stairs"
"It's not good-"
"Its good, its makes my labour more easy. Now step aside. "
She pushed him when suddenly he had circled his hand on her waist,making her shriek in suprised before looking up to him. His face was dangerously closed to her, and she had to hold her breath seeing him this up closed. So much for having boundaries she thought.
"As much as how I want to set my boundaries with you,I can't. So tell me Chaerin,what should I do?"
His voice whispered, tauntingly as it send shiver to her spine. His icy stare before had changed to such a warm gaze that is she didn't had a grip of herself,she would have melt in his eyes looking at her so lovingly. The way his muscular arms held her body comfortably making her realised that they were indeed in some position which someone would think they were lovers.
Wait what?
"Mind your own business, that's it. Now excuse me please"
She slowly detached herself from him and climb up the stairs, ignoring his longing stares at her back. That man was nothing but dangerous. And she need to be reminded at how her luxurious life her was short liven and eventually she will leave him, probably never see him again.
He was just her ticket to ran away, and she is his client.
Seokjin, on the other hand was smiling at how she looked annoyed at him. He had convinced himself since before that a love at a first sight was stupid, so why his eyes always looked at her like she was something for him? He is ridiculous for being like this, he thought. Probably because it had been a long time since he had someone in the house to care for was making him like this.
"Damn it Seokjin, you need to get back your ass to work, or you might end up falling head over heels to her"
That was what he said to himself, not realising how different things will be later.
