We were the only ones on the lift, and to make matters worse, we were on the seventeenth floor, which meant that we had a long way to go before we reached the ground level.
Jimin's eyes seemed to be glazed over as he continued to stare at me with a...
The lack of sleep has oficially taken its toll on me. I wondered if i will be able to survive the 4 days and 3 night stay in the world surrounded by nature-- camping, basically. I lugged my luggage towards the bus garage, where the meeting point is.
"Mr. Park let's take a selfie together" The voices from the overly excited girls-- I recognised as the bunch of lobby receptionist-- thrilled and shrilled, surrounding him.

"Sorry, excuse me" I said, trying to make my way to the luggage bins to deposit my bags. "Alright ladies last shot" Jimin called, even after he had spotted me. I tried to scoff and rolled my eyes silently inside my mind, but it all translated into a rapid eye blinking with slightly raised brows to stop my thoughts from entertaining it. I am so annoyed at his behaviour with other girls.
I deposited my bags while the girls finally decided to clamber on to the bus, leaving me and jimin alone. "Good Morn-" Jimin started speaking, but i quickly greeted him and made my way up to the bus, and he followed.
I looked around for seats but they were divided, dispersed, separated and they are everywhere. My eyes don't even know where to start looking...

"Mr. Park! Over here" a girl shouted from the back. It was 2X2 seater seat facing each other, the girl had one space beside her obviously reserved for him. Opposite facing them, a guy i recognised as the man from finance department took up the another seat- with an empty seat beside him. To make it simple, I will be facing Jimin throughout the entire ride.
"Well, looks like we are still stuck with together for five hours" Jimin shrugged. I certainly don't know how to feel about this sitting arrangement though. While i am contented to have my own space-- at least not beside him, but opposite of this; my heart also acknowledge the fact that i want to be near to him, my heart started racing fast again, wondering if there will be anything that's going to happen.
No, Nothing is going to happen within these hours, Veronica. Stop hoping, Stop expecting and just sit down right now.
Being on the window side is advantageous. I plugged my earphones and started looking outside-- Allowing my mind to drift elsewhere.

Park Jimin's POV
By the end of 2 hours through the ride, almost everyone was already asleep-- including veronica and i kept my eyes fixed on her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful; almost like a little kid, she too beautiful, i couldn't keep my eyes away.

Her head bounced on, when the road got unsteady, landing her head on to my one of an employee's shoulder who was startled and he immediately looked over me and gave me the hand sign of i-didn't-touch-her-she-fell-onto-me-herself Surrender sign. "I-I didn't touch her. I saw the way you looked at her the whole time but i swear i didn't do anything-" He started stuttering but i gave him a nod that assured him i perfectly understood the situation.
Looking over to his shoulder, this girl is still, very much sleeping soundly and peacefully. This girl, really. She's good at being defenceless. I sighed a little annoyed.
"Mr. Park, would you like to exchange seats with me?" my employee asked.
"Yeah! sure"- I replied.
He gently pushed Vera's head back to the other side and got up from his seat as quick as lightening, very eager to be away from vera, hmm...This man is leaving me a good impression.
"Thank you! as i was getting annoyed by looking at previous scenes"- I admitted and he gave a small smile. "It's all i can do for you sir" He answered, while i adjusted the sleeping beauty's head on to my shoulder.
Now that she's here with me, I can feel my mood meter going up slightly, happier. Unconsciously, smiling to myself. "Do I look silly?" I asked my employee, after realising how silly i might have possibly looked for this one very defenceless girl. "No sir, not at all. It's a happy sight, I understand the jealousy " He answered and looked out of the window, before closing his eyes.
hmm...I was jealous eh?
*******
After about four hours, she jolted up, waking me up in the process. I chuckled, knowing what's exactly on her mind after looking at the expression she's wearing on her face.
"W-why am i-" She started, looking at me, "A-aren't you there just-"She pointed to the seat my employee is now seating on, "W-why are you suddenly here?"She stuttered. How adorable. I smiled.
"Why do you think am I here, Veronica?" I teased her.
"What?" She muttered confusingly.
"Are you going to go around sleeping on people's shoulder whenever you're in a transport?" I questioned. Her eyes widened upon hearing what she'd done unawarely. She stayed silent.
"Ah," I faked, gripping my shoulder, "my shoulder is sore now, thanks to you" I accused, thinking of next ridiculous words. She blinked, "You have to pay me back now, with your body" I chuckled.

"WHAT?" She whispered-shouted, looking around to make sure no one is woken up by her voice. "Are you a pervert?" She questioned.
"That's not what i meant, Veronica. It's not what you think it is" I answered. "Silly girl" I chuckled. "Massage my shoulders for me, would you?" I requested.
She looked over to me momentarily probably deciding, before her hands reached out to me and massaged my shoulder. A little weak from the energy, but it's all i could ask for right now.
