Before We Fall In Love

Chapter 2: Skyline

"Where are we going?" Suzy lolled her head as she was pulled from the car, standing below the tall building before her.

Half wishing she hadn't drank so much or drank so little and been a light weight, she was thankful he was there to offer her a tug in the right direction.

"Up," Joohyuk replied bluntly as Suzy latched onto his arm, following him.

"Lead the way!"

She'd agreed to go anywhere, even if she had no clue. But now seeing the familiar street she felt relieved that she was on the south of Han River, the heart of Gangnam, Cheongdam. The taste of the building she was currently venturing through, smiling appreciatively at the décor as she made her path with him.

He pulled her in an elevator in the lobby of the hotel and within moments she was slumped against the wall. Glancing over at him occasionally, she noted he was resting against the opposing wall, not ever looking at her but staring at the door.

He was dressed with perfection. She wondered only now why she hadn't noticed it before. He was wearing a two-piece grey suit, crisp white shirt, a discretely patterned pink tie, a complimenting pocket square and dropping her sights to his feet, his outfit was finished off with a pair of brown Bottegas. It really was delectable and she couldn't help herself from imagining what lay under all of those layers of expensive cloth.

When she felt him look up to see her staring at him, she snapped her eyes away from his chest and replaced her vacant stare of interest with blushed cheeks. He smiled at her knowingly.

Within moments she had coughed them out of their reverie and she spoke. "Can I ask you something?"

"Ne." He nodded, looking towards the beautiful woman across from him.

The blush of her cheeks only made her more delicious and he couldn't help, nor would he stop himself from admiring her outfit of choice.

Although her coat covered most of the blue material, she was dressed in a tasteful, thigh length dress which was pulled in at the waist with a deep red belt. From the memory of her without her coat in the bar, the neck line was high before swooping low at the back, advertising the perfect shape of her shoulder blades and neck as her chocolate brown locks held to the side as if placed there purposely to make him melt.

Joohyuk couldn't deny anything from Suzy. To be quite honest physical attraction was something he lived, strived for, but with her, it was most certainly not just that. She had a presence that sent chills down his spine. An alluring aura that made him want to stalk her, obey her, consume her every wish.

She was buzzing from the alcohol and Joohyuk could tell she wasn't her usual self. As if something else had triggered the start of their game, something in the back of her mind that she had pushed away and replaced with a sense of mystery. He bet in normal circumstances, any man would have try to bed such a gorgeous figure, but he was unlike other men. Although the temptation was too strong, but he felt compelled to stay at arms reach.

"Why would you agree to such a random event when you don't even know me?" She hadn't asked herself this in the bar because she wanted someone by her side, she needed it.

"Molla. Maybe I got time to play." He smiled staring at her, then looked away shortly after.

Suzy chuckled. There was something about Nam Joohyuk that made her trust him. She had never had that with a stranger before. But she needed to hear something from him. "Seolma. Come on. Malhae."

"Well I have taken risks all my life. I've never had a constant in my life but in the past years I've been cautious with everything I do. Then meeting you in that weird situation earlier had reminded me that I wouldn't have come this far if I wasn't a dynamo. The way you were, the way you spoke. You made me want to take a leap with you, however long this lasts, I don't think I can bring myself to resist your company."
