Just Friends

Twenty Six

We were both exhausted from our weekend activities so I asked my assistant to drive us back to the city on Sunday. I still had the energy to drive but seeing Jin barely keep her eyes open, I decided to sit with her at the back seat and cuddle her like I knew she wanted.

On the ride home, Jin just slept sprawled on my lap. Poor baby, I thought. We made love again this morning, so I truly wasn't surprised that all she wanted to do now was rest. I didn't think she could take any more but she was the one who initiated it by waking me up very pleasurably and before we packed to check out, we were going at it again.

Impressive stamina on this one.

Playing with her hair, I couldn't help but admire her rested face. If they made a movie about Sleeping Beauty, she would surely fit the bill in terms of physical appearance. But my Ye jin was stronger than that fictional character.

"Hyun Bin-ssi, have you heard anything I said?" my assistant, Mr. Jang, asked.

"Hmmm? Sorry? What was that?"

He chuckled. "The next week is full of meetings, some days from morning until night. Did you have a good rest this weekend?"

Rest, I thought. "It was a good weekend, yes." But not restful, my naughty mind added. Looking at Ye Jin, I suddenly worried if I was too much. I did not want her to think that I was a creep but she was just too enticing. I seriously hoped I didn't miss any signal from her to stop.

Then, what Mr. Jang said entered my mind. I won't be seeing Ye Jin this week? After everything we did this weekend? That did not sit well with me.

"Has the schedule been sent to me? I'd like to move around some things, if possible, or at least make sure I have breakfast with Ye Jin all week," I said.

Mr. Jang nodded. "Mr. Hong has been in touch. You have two dinners this week with Ms. Son. It was tough to schedule but Mr. Hong pleaded, fearing Ms. Son would fire him."

We laughed, knowing Ye Jin would never be so mean. "We need to make sure his employment papers with Vast are ready any time, then."

Staring at Ye Jin, who was still peacefully sleeping, I said to my assistant, "Please still arrange breakfast with her. It is important to me."

When we arrived at her place, I walked her to her door and bid her goodbye. "Mr. Jang will drive me home, he's downstairs waiting."

Ye Jin looked sad. "Can't you stay tonight?"

"Jin-ssi, you're exhausted. If I stay, you won't be able to rest."

She frowned and pouted, "I don't want you to leave yet. I promise we won't do anything but sleep."

I gave her an indulgent look. Pulling her close, I stroked her hair. "Do you really want me to stay?"

She nodded. "Please?"

I pulled back. "Alright. I just have to get some clothes for tomorrow and then I'll be right back."

I called Mr. Jang to tell him the change in plans. "Oh, don't worry, Hyun Bin-ssi. I have an extra bag here for you. Mr. Hong suspected as much."

"What else do you and Mr. Hong discuss?" I teased.

"Many things! He has become a dear friend. So I sincerely hope you do not break up with Ms. Son. I will miss the company of Mr. Hong very much."

That night, I fell asleep first but woke to Ye Jin caressing my face. "Are you asleep, Bin-ssi?"

I nodded but she must not have seen it.
