suspicious

Chorong turns around and takes her phone on the bedlamp table. She turns it on and looks at the time. 3.00 am. She sits on the bed, yawning. Suho is still sleeping like a dead. She let go of his grip around her wrist and wears the bathrobe. She coughs slowly because of the dried throat.

She walks out from the room and heads downstairs. She looks around, making sure everyone is already asleep. As she's about to enter the kitchen, she sees Mrs Ha talking on the phone. What? At this freaking hour? She hides behind the wall, listening to the conversation.

Mrs Ha- Don't you dare touch my daughter

Mrs Ha- Fine, fine. I'll do what you want me to do

Mrs Ha- Please, I'm begging you to not call me again. Mr Kim will kick me out if he knew about this

Mrs Ha- Yes, I'll do it! Don't call me again ugh!

And the call ends. Chorong observes Mrs Ha silently. She looks so suspicious ever since the day she received the scary threat. Chorong hides herself as Mrs Ha walks back into her room. She walks into the kitchen, looking for anything bizarre.

Chorong- Why would she answer a call at this hour?

Chorong brushes away her thoughts and drinks the cold plain water. As she walk to the sink to wash the glass, she feels warm arms snaking around her waist. A lips softly kissing her neck, causing Chorong to smile.

Chorong- What's wrong, hun?
Suho- I thought you left me
Chorong- Huh?
Suho- You weren't in the bed. Let's go to sleep

Chorong smiles and turns around, realizing that Suho is only wearing his shorts. Did he forget this mansion is spacious as hell? How can he walk around with naked torso like that? Chorong's cheeks blush. Suho kisses her forehead and they remain silent in front of the sink for a while. Chorong looks up to her fiance.

Chorong- Sweetie?
Suho- Yes?
Chorong- Don't you feel suspicious about people in this house? I saw Mrs Ha just now
Suho- Suspicious? Why?
Chorong- She was talking on the phone and I think it's like she's keeping something from you
Suho- Hmm, maybe you were half asleep
Chorong- But..
Suho- Let's go to bed, I'm sleepy

Suho walks out from the kitchen. Chorong sighs and tails Suho from the back. She's fully awake and she heard everything. She snuggles closer to Suho and both of them fall into a deep slumber.

Morning,

The sun has rose an hour ago. Suho blinks his eyes few times, gaining his consciousness. He let out an enormous yawn before looking to Chorong's side of the bed. His eyes widen in panic. Where is Chorong? He picks his black shirt and walks out from the room. All of the maids are doing their work as usual.

Suho walks downstairs, ignoring the maids who are bowing at him. He walks into the kitchen and sees Chorong cooking the breakfast. Man, she looks so beautiful with her hair tied into a high ponytail like that. He should add hot too because of the short jeans and sleeveless black tee she's wearing. He approaches Sohee.

Suho- Who let her cook?
Sohee- Err.. we already told her to not cook, but she didn't listen
Suho- Make sure she don't cook for lunch and dinner
Sohee- Yes.. Mr Kim

Suho walks around the spacious kitchen and slowly walking towards Chorong. He asks the other maids to leave. Slowly, he snakes his arms around Chorong, causing her to jerk out a bit. She tilts her head and sees Suho. Suho pecks Chorong's lips softly.

Suho- Good morning, princess
Chorong- Good morning to you too, prince
Suho- Why are you cooking? The maids can do it
Chorong- I'm going to be your wife soon, honey. I need to cook better than before
Suho- But, aren't you tired after the party? And.. isn't it a bit sore after what we did last night?
Chorong- Shut up

Chorong's cheeks turn crimson as she continue to cook. Suho breaks the hug and helps Chorong to prepare the breakfast. They enter the dining room, eating together. Chorong looks around, observing Mrs Ha who is arranging the expensive vases from Dubai. She scoffs a bit, gaining Suho's attention.

Suho- Do you want some water?
Chorong- Nope. But, did you remember what I said?
Suho- Which one? The suspicious part?
Chorong- Yeah. And I was fully awake. Some of your workers are suspicious, you better inspect them one by one
Suho- Why are you asking me to do this? I don't get it
Chorong- It's because someone is suspicious in this house. And I think it's related to that threat
Suho- Even if something happened again, we will let the police inspect then
Chorong- I don't trust police. Firing those who did something bad behind you isn't wrong right?

Chorong raises her voice a bit, making sure the maids hear her. All of them are looking at her except for Mrs Ha who is pretending to not understand anything.

Suho- Who is it? Tell me, maybe I can observe first
Chorong- There are so many weird things happened when you're at work
Suho- Go on, tell me. I feel suspicious right now
Chorong- Mrs Ha *whisper

And they realize Mrs Ha flinches and drops her small notebook as Chorong whisper her name. Chorong smirks, she knows there's something wrong with that woman! Suho looks at Chorong, smiling at her. He caresses her cheeks.

Suho- I know
Chorong- You.. you know?
Suho- She's been acting suspicious since the first day you came here
Chorong- What do you mean?
Suho- We'll see one day

Suho smiles before kissing Chorong's lips. Chorong frowns, Suho knows? What does he know? How far has he know? She glances to Mrs Ha, observing her quietly. There must be something going on and she won't let that slip away from her eyes!
