Folie a Deux

Here's another chapter for all of you...

Chapter 5

Hwangbo was back in her office. After finishing Hyunjoong’s house, she’ll be doing the rooms for Crowne Hotel. Busy checking the lay out and proposal from suppliers, she was startled when she heard her phone ring. It was Kaye- her secretary.

“Ms Hwangbo, you’ve got a delivery here. Can I come in and gave it to you?” She asked.


“I see. Okay. Thank you.” She simply replied and hangs up.


She heard the door open and gave Kaye a smile. She was curious at the impish grin of her secretary as she hand over a big bouquet of yellow tulips to her.


“Kaye, would you know who send these flowers?” She asked

“There was no name on the delivery receipt. You’re so lucky Hwangbossi. I never received such lovely flowers from my boyfriend even when he was still courting me.” Kaye replied with envy. She bowed and left Hwangbo to check the package. Hwangbo then checked the small card attached on the bouquet. Her heart skipped a beat when she read the message.


Thank you for accepting my friendship – Hyunjungie xoxo


“Aissh, this guy.” She uttered with smile and kept the note on her table drawer.


She became so busy the whole day. Kaye just bought her sandwich on the deli store near their office for her lunch. She was busy talking to a lot of supplier and contacting them to ensure that all we be ready for the next project. It was four in the afternoon when she heard her phone ring and she picked it up immediately not bothering to check whose calling thinking that it was from her supplier.


“Yah, Hyejungssi. Don’t you know how to say thank you!" The man on the other line exclaimed.


“ Hyunjoong?" Hwangbo confirmed.


“Yes. Is my number not saved on your phone?" He enquired.


“I saved it. It’s just that I didn’t check before I answer the call." She explained.


“Didn’t you receive the flowers? I was waiting for you to say thank you.” He blabbered.


“I did. And thank you. I’m sorry I ‘am really so busy so I haven’t got the time to call you." Hwangbo replied.


“Oh, I see. You’re forgiven then. I’ll hang up now so I won’t disturb you. See you soon!” and Hyunjoong hang up before she can even reply.

Hyunjoong also became so busy with events and preparing for his album. But even so, he never forgets to text Hwangbo everyday. Sometimes he’ll just say good morning and or goodnight. Hwangbo will just reply because Hyunjoong always call her if he didn’t receive any reply from her. It’s been two weeks now since they last saw each other. It’s eleven in the evening and Hwangbo had just finished her shower and now getting ready to sleep when she heard the door bell ring. She just grabbed her robe and head to the door. She was surprised to see his smiling face when she checked the intercom. She hurriedly opened the door fearing that somebody might see him.


“Hyunjoong-ah! What are you doing here?” and she grabbed his arm to let him in. She checked the hallway before closing the door. She took a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was around her area.


“Come on and dress up. Let’s go have dinner somewhere.” He ordered with a smile.


“Do you know what time is it now? Hyunjoong, it’s already eleven in the evening and I’m sleepy and exhausted.” She whined.


“But we haven’t been out for long. What kind of friendship is that? We need to spend time together. “He reasoned out.


“We’ll do it some other time. For now, go home and let me sleep.” She replied.


“No, there’s no other time. I’ll be leaving tomorrow and will be back next week. Please, Hyejung-ah.” He again pleaded.


Hwangbo take a really good look at him. She can see dark circles under his eyes and it seems like he had just remove his makeup. And having him here, cutely begging her to go out with him, melt her heart.


“Okay, okay, let me get dress first. But next time, don’t just come in here disrupting my beauty sleep, ok?” she uttered in resignation.


“Thank you Jungie-ah! I’ll treat you nicely.” He replied with that silly grin.


Hwangbo dressed up quickly, she just put on skinny jeans, a racer back top and her brown hooded jacket. When she went out, he saw Hyunjoong, now playing with Charley.


“Are you ready?” he asked with Charley on his arms. She nodded and Hyunjoong put Charley back on her bed. He also said goodbye to Chelsea and Cherrie and then they left. When they reached his car and both were comfortably seated, Hwangbo asked.


“Where are we going in this ungodly hour?”


“Somewhere." He replied with a smile. When Hwangbo raised her brows, he just added. “You can take a napand just enjoy the ride. I’ll wake you up when we get there.” She just scoffed at him, and then closed her eyes.

It was a light caress on her face that woke her up. She gently open her eyes and she straightened up quickly when she met his eyes, his face only inches from hers.


“You snore!” he teased.


“I do not. “She countered. “And why were you hovering over me?” she added.


“Just because.” He simply replied. “Come on now, were here!” and he get out of the car.


“Aissh, this guy!" and Hwangbo followed him out.


She was surprised to see that they were near Namsan Tower.


“What are we doing here?” Hwangbo asked in confusion.


“We’ll just look around. Honestly, this is my first time here. I want to ride the cable car just like Jun Pyo.” He explained.


“But I guess it’s already closed. No one’s here anymore.” She replied.


“I’ve asked someone to arrange this. Let’s go!” and he grabbed her hand as he ran.


When they reach the cable car station, Mr Jeong was already waiting for them. Hyunjoong was very excited. He was just standing the whole ride and all she can do was to watched him. He’s like a kid in his first Ferris wheel ride. When they reached the other side, Hyunjoong ran towards the love lock tree.


“Jungie-ah, do you believe in this?” he asked as he carefully inspects the locks.


“No. But when you’re young and in love doing this is cute.” She explained.


“Would you like to put our lock here, even just us friend?” he shyly asked.


Hwangbo laughed out loudly, making him blushed deeper.


“No! It’s just for lovers. Aigoo! Come on, let’s go down!” and she even playfully hit his shoulders. She ran down the stairs and Hyunjoong has no choice but to run after her. When they reached the grounds, they took a sit at the bench under the cherry blossom tree and enjoy the scenery in companionable silence. After sometime, Hyunjoong suddenly stood up, again, grabbed Hwangbo’s hand and pull her up.


“Let’s go karaoke in Hongdae!” Hyunjoong shouted and together they ran towards his car laughing their hearts out.


Only a few karaoke house was open then. Hyunjoong tried to look for something he can use as a disguise but Hwangbo asked him not to. She called her friend who owns a karaoke house in Hongdae and this is where they went. They enjoyed singing and goofing around while sharing beer. It’s almost four in the morning when they decided to go home. They just took a cab since both of them had a few drinks. Hyunjoong asked the driver to drop her first. When they arrived at her apartment, Hwangbo dropped a kiss on Hyunjoong’s cheeks then waved goodbye. Hyunjoong then head home, a big smile plastered on his beautiful face.

Folie A deux


Here's chapter 4 for all of you..thank you for reading and all the comments!


Chapter 4

Hwangbo was awaken by light breathing on her ears. She instinctively reached for Charley and tried sitting up but was restrained by a weight on her waist. Confused, she pried her eyes open, only to find Hyunjoong’s face, mere inches away from her. Her eyes rounded, and she almost screamed when she remembered what happened last night. She gently removed his arm on her waist and the legs draped over her right leg. Then she carefully stood up, picked up her discarded clothes and head to the room she previously occupied.

When she reached her room, she went to the bathroom and turn on the shower. Only then was she able to let go of her scream...

“Yah!!!! Hwangbo Hyejung, what happened last night? Why were you so reckless?!!!" And she even banged her fist on the bathroom wall. “ What will he think of me now? Arggg!!!  Stupid Hyejung, that’s purely stupid.” She exclaimed. She hurriedly finished her shower, packed her pets’ things and leave Hyunjoong’s house. 

She waited for a cab, was praying hard that Hyunjoong will not wake up yet. Luckily, a cab a pulled over and she asked the driver to leave immediately. She reached for her phone as soon as she took a seat. 

“ Junjin,  meet me in my house in thirty minutes!” she ordered.

“What the crap is wrong Jungie? Are you hurt? “The man on the other line exclaimed although his voice is still hoarse from sleeping.

“It’s better to tell it to you in person Jin.Please. I’m still on my way home but I’m almost there. I’ll see you in a while, okay.” She confirmed in a worried tone.

“Whatever it is Jungie, I’ll understand and I’ll be here to support you. I’ll see you. “Junjin replied.

“Thanks Jin. I’ll see you.” And Hwangbo hang up.

Hwangbo arrived in her place fifteen minutes after and she was surprised to see Junjin’s car already parked in front of her house. He went down as soon as he saw her and helped carry her things in. She just let Charley, Chelsea and Cherie of f their carrier and she slumped down on the sofa. Meanwhile, Junjin prepared coffee and hand it to her as he sat beside her.

“I slept with him Junjin-ah.” She stated, head bowed down.

“Slept? With who? Do you have a boyfriend? And why didn’t you introduce him to me? Her friend asked in confusion.

“I slept with Kim Hyunjoong.” She simply replied.

“Kim Hyunjoong? You mean the Hallyu star? He’s supposed to get married right?" Junjin was so surprised with was she said.

“Yes the one and only Kim Hyunjoong. The wedding was called off." She explained.

“So you jumped into bed with him? You better explain it to me, Jungie and don’t leave out any other details.” Junjin ordered.

“Well, I told you about my new project right?” she asked to which Junjin just nodded.

"Well, the project was to design their supposed to be new house. I’ve been working on it for the past months and just completed it yesterday. Hyunjoong and her ex fiancee’ broke up three days ago and he’s been staying there since then. I was also occupying a room there so I can finish the house in time. When I met him there, he asked me to stay with him to which I just agreed. Yesterday, he went home drunk and then we did it.” She told her friend.

“Did he forced or drugged you? “ Junjin asked with a scowl on his face. 

“No. I was just trying to comfort him since he was so dishearten. The ex fianceĆ© held a press conference yesterday. I’ve had a shot or two of vodka but I think I was still sober then." Hwangbo confessed- head down while playing with her fingers.

“Then why did you do it?” Junjin asked in frustration.

“I really don’t know. Jin, you’ve known me for more than two decades now. You now I’m not like that. I honestly don’t know why I allowed it to happen.“ She tried to let him see her side.

“I’m sorry to snap at you.“ Junjin apologized. “It’s just that I’m just surprised that you’d get yourself into something like that. But as you said, I’ve known you for too long and I know that you are a decent woman." And he opens his arms and she came to him. Junjin enveloped her in a big bear hug.

“Jin-ah, what am I going to do? How can I face him again?” Hwangbo asked.

“Well, you can do nothing more about it. The deed has been done.  Are you still planning to see him after this?  He inquired.

“I’ am not sure. What if our paths cross again? How should I treat him? She added.

“Treat him as is.  It’s not as if you’re going to ask him to marry you, right? Just don’t fret too much. I’m sure he’s also going to be okay with it.” Junjin assured her.

“Thank you Junjin-ah. You’re such a darling.” And she kissed his cheeks.

“I know that Jungie. So just go to sleep now and I need to fetch my Yeobo. By the way, wear turtle neck when you go out. I can see that you had a great night.” He quipped 

Hwangbo ran towards the bathroom and was shocked to see red marks on her neck. She went out immediately and threw the throw pillow at Junjin who was just laughing at her.

“You should have told me about it earlier. My God! I didn’t notice it when I had shower.” she blurted in dismay.

“Its okay, Jungie-ah.  Be proud of those marks. You’re so lucky to spend a night with that idol." He teased her as he made his way out of her house. Hwangbo threw another pillow at him. 

As soon as Junjin left, Hwangbo head to her room and took a nap. She was in deep slumber when she was awaken by the non stop pounding on her door. She grumpily stood up and yanked the door open without even checking who’s on the other side.

“Hyunjoong!!” she shrieked as she saw him impatiently waiting.

Hyunjoong went inside even if she didn’t tell him to come in. He went straight to the living room and sat on the sofa. Hwangbo carefully walked towards him.

“What are you doing here?" She asked as she took a seat in front of him.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” he asked.

“I see no point in doing so. I ‘am done with your house if you haven’t notice.” Hwangbo retort.

“Can’t you leave a note?  You could have at least informed me that you’re going home so I won’t have to worry about you.”  Hyunjoong snapped.

“Why do you have to worry?” she asked back.

“Do you really need to ask?  Are you having regrets about last night?” he enquired.

“I’d rather not talk about it. Let’s not make it a big deal and try to forget about it." She simply answered.

“I don’t think it‘s gonna be that easy. Can you really forget about it?” Hyunjoong challenged.

“Hyunjoong, it’s not easy but we have to move on. It already happened and we can do nothing about it. I go my way and you go yours." Hwangbo replied.

“But I don’t want to move on!” Hyunjoong stubbornly blurted.

“What? Hyunjoong, it’s just one night. It’s not as if we need to get married. A lot of people do that." She countered.
 
“But we can at least be friends. Just don’t stay away from me.”  Hyunjoong appealed.

“It’s not gonna be easy." She admitted.

“We could at least try." Hyunjoong offered. “I will try my best to be a good friend to you. Honestly, I never had a girl buddy before. You can be the first.” He added with a little aegyo.

“I’m not promising anything but I won’t avoid you.”  She concedes.

“Okay, that’s enough for me.  I’ll leave now. I’ll see you soon Hyejungssi!” and Hyungjoong left with a big smile on his face. Hwangbo was left in her house, still wondering if she made the right decision.

Folie a deux

This is unedited- trying to post while doing office work.. hehehe.. Give me some love, will yah?! Ciao..

@ellehcar,ate sue, LVK, bebe, shu @jeramon.. thank u for reading and the comments.
@wulan.. thank u for reading and the suggestion, i really appreciate it..

Chapter 3



As soon as Hwangbo and Hyunjoong arrived, Hyunjoong went straight to his room with Charley on his arms. The dog stayed with him even when he was driving on their way home. Hwangbo wondered why Hyunjoong suddenly won’t talk to her but she decided to let him be. She went to bed after putting Cherrie and Chelsea on their own beds.


The next day, she woke up at around 6am. Expecting Hyunjoong to still be asleep, she was surprised to see him standing by the window with a cup of coffee on his hands.


“Good morning, Hyunjoongssi. You’re up so early.” She greeted him.


Hyunjoong just smiled at her and then head to his room. Hwangbo was confused why he’s acting like that and she’s wondering if she did something wrong. After so much contemplating, she just decided to let it pass and head to the gym at the 3rd floor and do her morning yoga.


After about an hour, she head down to take a shower and dress up quickly. She’s expecting the suppliers to arrive anytime soon. She also fed her cats and dog so she can finish all her work without worrying about them. She checked if Hyunjoong was still at home and when she saw his room empty, she started making the beds while waiting for the suppliers.


The suppliers arrived half past ten in the morning. She became so busy that she didn’t notice that time passed by. It was already three in the afternoon when she stopped and realized that she didn’t have her lunch yet. She rummaged her bag for food and found a pack of biscuit. She head to the kitchen and took a glass of juice to complete her lunch and went back to work quickly.


Hwangbo was done with the house at around 5pm and was just double checking everything when Hyunjoong arrived. It was just like a dƩjƠ vu from two days ago. He is drunk again, his driver assisting him and when he saw Hwangbo, Hyunjoong immediately quipped.


“ Hyejungssi!! You’re still here.” He said with a smile. “Ahjussi, this is Hyejungssi, the interior designer for my house.” He introduced her to the driver who just gave her a knowing look.


“Ahjussi, I’ll take him from here. Don’t worry.” Hwangbo assured the driver. He then bid goodbye as soon as Hwangbo placed Hyunjoong’s arms on her shoulders.


Hyunjoong removed his arms on her and tried walking towards the mini bar. After falling several times, he reached the bar and grabbed another bottle of vodka.


“Yah, Hyejung, join me here!” he shouted on top of his lungs which startled Hwangbo.


“You don’t need to shout, Hyunjoongssi.” Hwangbo calmly said as soon as she reached him.


“Sorry about that, Hyejungssi. “He sheepishly replied. “Come on, let’s drink first. This is your last day here, right?” Hyunjoong continued.


“Yes.” Hwangbo simply replied as she took the stool next to him. Hyunjoong poured a shot for her which she took and drank straight.


“Why are you drinking again Hyunjoongssi?” She asked after finishing her shot.


“Why? Just this morning, my girlfriend...I mean my ex fiancĆ©’ announced that agreeing to marry me was a hasty decision. “Then he took another gulp of his drink. “I now wonder if she really loved me or she was just using me just to further her career.” Hyunjoong confessed.


“Maybe she did, Hyunjoongssi, it’s just that sometimes we need to prioritize things. Maybe she thinks that her career should come first. Maybe she’s not yet ready to settle down. “She tried reasoning out.


“Then what about me? What about our plans? Am I that unworthy for her that she can drop me like a worn out rug?” He ranted.


“Don’t start to be little yourself. You are special and whoever you decide to marry will be a lucky girl.” and Hwangbo reached out and hugged him.


Hyunjoong took comfort from it and then rest his head on her shoulder. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes when suddenly Hyunjoong stood up which startled Hwangbo. The glass on her hand dropped and crashed on the counter with the vodka splattering over them. Hwangbo automatically picked the glasses on the counter, cutting her fingers in the process. Hyunjoong took her finger and unconsciously put it on his lips. He gently sucked on it to stop the bleeding. Hwangbo’s jaw dropped – astounded with Hyunjoong’s action. She tried pulling her hand, but he’s holding on to it tight.


“Hyunjoong-ah” Hwangbo said in a raspy voice.


“Good thing it’s just a small cut. It stopped bleeding now.” Hyunjoong replied affectionately. When he looked at her, he saw the flushed on her cheeks. He looked straight in her eyes and he didn’t know if it’s the alcohol, the heartache or just plain desire but he just found himself closing the distance between them. Hwangbo gasped when his lips touched hers and that opens an opportunity for him to deepen the kiss. Hyunjoong ran his hands on her back as they stayed in a fiery lip lock. When they let go to catch their breath, Hyunjoong uttered, his eyes never leaving hers.


“Tell me, you want this too.”


“I know we will both regret this in the morning” she replied but not answering his question.


“I won’t, that I am very sure of.” He countered as he gently caressed her face.


“This is definitely madness.” She whispered.


“I don’t care, as long as we’re going to share it.” Hyunjoong uttered as he placed his hand on her nape to give her another soul shattering kiss.


“Folie a deux” Hwangbo whispered in between the kiss. Hyunjoong paused and let go of her lips.


“Madness shared by two” she said in a raspy breath. Hyunjoong kissed her again and she just laced her arms around his neck as he carried her towards his room.

Folie a deux

Annyeong! Still cant think of a title. Maybe you can help me come up with one?.hehehe.. anyways, here's chapter 2. maybe boring but still hope you can give me some love. Appreciate comments good or bad- I really wont mind. Ciao!

Chapter2


“ Hyejungssi!” then he paused, took a big sigh and said. “Can you just stay while I’m here?”


Hwangbo was taken aback with what he just asked. She looked at Hyunjoong with a confused look and asked.


“I thought you want to be alone?


“ Uhmmm.. Not really alone. I just want to have some time off and stay away from the issues. At least here, there will be no reporters waiting by the gate. Just stay and do your work. I can help you if you want.” Hyunjoong replied.


“Okay. I’ll just finish the last room and double check everything. It’ll only take three days the most. “She answered with a shrug.


“No need to hurry. Take your time. I’ll try not to disturb you while you work.” Hyunjoong assured her.


“It’s ok Hyunjoongsssi. I’ll go ahead and sleep. Maybe you should too.” And she smiled at him.


“I will. I think I’ve had enough for the night.” He smiled back at her.


“Would you like me to assist you?” Hyejung asked again.


“If you don’t mind.” He replied shyly.


Hwangbo walked towards him as he stood up. She holds on to his arms to help him out walk towards the master’s bedroom.


“Thank you, Hyejungssi. I can carry on from here.” Hyunjoong said as they stood in front of the room.


“No worries, Hyunjoongssi. I’ll see you in the morning.” She smiled and then bid him goodnight.



The grumble of his stomach woke him up the next day. Hyunjoong rise up from the bed with a bad case of hangover. He head to the bathroom and took a quick shower so he can eat. When he finished, he walked towards the kitchen and found food neatly covered in the counter top.


“ Hyunjoongssi, just heat up the food and take honey water for your hangover.”


He heat up the food, then hungrily finished them in a jiffy. As soon as he’s done, he washed the plates and then head out to the living room. He turn on the TV and watched a soccer match. After about an hour and after the game finished, he decided to just look around the house. He bought this a year ago, commissioned Hwangbo Interiors to prepare the house but he never really got a good look of it. He went to the 1st floor, checking the three bedrooms which serve as guest rooms. All were done with chic and class. The living room on the 1st floor is bigger than on the second floor which also serves as the receiving area for guest. He then went to fully inspect the 2nd floor. Besides the master’s bedroom, which is really done tastefully, two rooms are also in the 2nd floor which he plans to renovate as children’s room if the time comes. As of now, they just have it set as guest rooms too. He checked the 1st door and saw that it’s been made but he saw a big bag by the closet so he deduced that this is where Hwangbo was staying. He then left the room and head to the other one. He gently opened the door and just watched Hwangbo as she tried to put on the drapes on the window. She was so engrossed on what she’s doing and happily singing while he just stood by the door. She was tiptoeing but still can’t reach the top to fasten the curtain rod so she tried to look for something she can step on. When she turned around, she shrieked in surprise which also startled Hyunjoong.


“Yah! Hyejungssi. I almost got a heart attack.” Hyunjong uttered.


“Shouldn’t I be the one saying that? What are you doing here?” Hwangbo replied as she took a deep breath.


“I was just checking the rooms. Is this the only room left unfinished?” Hyunjoong asked as he stepped inside the room.


“Yes, sir. The 3rd floor, will serve as the attic and gym. The equipments were already installed.” Hyejung replied, still looking around to look for a stool.


“Can you just stay still? I’m getting dizzy with you. What are you looking for?” Hyunjoong ordered and hold on to Hyejung’s arm to steady her.


“I’m looking for a stool so I can fix this up.” And shoved the curtain rod on his hand.


Hyunjoong took it and tiptoed to place the curtain. When he’s done, he smiled mischievously to Hyejung. Hyejung just snorted and begin fixing the beddings. She was trying to cover the bed with purple fitted sheets. Hyunjoong moved to the other side of the bed and helped her. She then arranged the pillows and comforter, Hyunjoong helped her out too.


“Mr.Kim, would you like to check the 3rd floor?” She asked while placing aroma candles on top of the bedside table.


“Are we done here?” he asked back to which she just nodded.


Hyunjoong waited for her by the door and they climbed the stairs to the 3rd floor in silence. The 3rd floor was divided into attic and the gym. Hyunjoong inspect all the equipments inside and even tried it out himself. Hyejung received a call from a supplier regarding the carpets and mats that she’s expecting. She’s also waiting for the call of her starter sets and the set up for the mini bar. She became so busy that she didn’t notice as Hyunjoong stood behind her. When she’s done with her calls, she was surprised when he suddenly speaks.


“By the way, Hyejungssi let me treat you to dinner since you prepared my breakfast.”


“You don’t need to worry Mr. Kim. I usually prepare breakfast so saving some for you is no bother. And about the dinner, I prepare to just cook. I’m not fond of takeout food.” She replied.


“Where are you going to cook?” he asked.


“Im going home to check my cats and dogs. I just left them with food yesterday. I’ll cook for us then bring it over.” She offered.


“Can I just come with you? “ Hyunjoong replied.


“But my house is not big, okay. Just don’t expect something fancy.” Hyejung responded.


“I ‘m not picky. Give me five minutes so I can change.” Hyunjoong answered.


“Okay. I’ll just try to confirm some materials too. I’ll just see you downstairs.


When Hyunjoong finished changing, Hwangbo was already waiting by the door. She already set the lock and then they leave immediately. They arrived at her place in less than an hour. They used the stairs to avoid being seen by her neighbors. She was welcomed by the two cats waiting by the door. She affectionately picked them up as she let Hyunjoong in. Her dog, Charley jumped from the sofa so she picked her up too. She was laughing as she carried her pets that really seemed to miss her a lot.


“Hyunjoongssi, come and meet my babies. These are Cherrie, Chelsea and this cute one is Charley.” Hwangbo introduced the pets to Hyunjoong.


“Hello there girls.” And Hyunjoong stroked the cats’ fur. Charley walked towards him so he carried the cute puppy.


“They seem to like you, Hyunjoogssi. “She smiled as she watched her pets being cuddled by the idol. “Would you be okay if I leave you here so I can prepare dinner?”


Hyunjoong just nodded so she head to the kitchen and prepare their food. After about thirty minutes, she called him so they can eat. Hyejung prepared, Japchae, vegetable pancake and sangyumpsal. Hyunjoong was surprised that she was able to prepare everything in that short of time.


“Hyejungssi, do you have a boyfriend?” Hyunjoong blurted out while eating. Hyejung was surprised that she almost spit out what she’s eating. She just laughed as she saw his confused look.


“Hyunjoongssi, if I do have one, do you think, he’ll allow me to let you come with me, much more sleep in your house?”


“Definitely not. “ He answered in full conviction.


“Well then, that’s the answer. “She simply replied.


“Come, one, Hyejungah, tell me something about yourself.” Hyunjoong urged her as he eats.


“What is this? An interview?” she replied in a playful voice. Hyunjoong pouted so she just did as asked.


“Well, I’m a middle child. I have an older brother and a younger one. My parents are now staying in Jeolla while my brother’s are with their own family here in Seoul. They run our company business, you know HJ holdings right?” to which Hyunjoong just nodded so she continued. “They’ve been running it since Dad retired. They want me to join them but that’s not really my forte. I started Hwangbo Interiors even if they were all against it. So far, I have been enjoying running my company. It’s not as big as Hj but I love it. This is something I can call mine.” She ended.


“That’s good for you. After my house, do you have anything line up?” Hyunjoong asked.


“I signed a contract with Mrs. Lee of Crown Hotel for their newly renovated rooms.” She replied.


“I will also recommend you to my friends.” He stated. “Are you done? “When he noticed her just picking her food.


“Yup. I’ll just clean this up and I’ll send you home.” And she began piling up the dishes.


“You’re coming with me, right? Can we bring your pets?” he asked.


“Im expecting the carpets to arrive tomorrow morning so I’d better stay in your place. But the pets, Im not so sure that it’s practical.” She politely declined.


“Please, Hyejung. They can stay in my room if you want” he pleaded.


“You know you’re too irresistible when you’re like that.” Hyejung blurted out. Both of them were surprised and awkward silence filled the room.


“So, are we leaving now?” Hyunjoong cleared his throat and asked to break the moment.


“I’ll just pack their bags, give me atleast ten minutes.” She replied. Still blushing and trying to avoid his eyes.


“Okay, I’ll wait for you in the living room. I’ll play with them first.” Hyunjoong replied with a smile.


Hwangbo went to her room and packed her pet’s bag. She brought their litter box and carrier along with their food packs. She then gets her back for her change of clothes. After ten minutes, she head to the living room so they can go back to his house. She found him making poor Charley dance while the two cats are on his lap, peacefully sleeping. He sheepishly smiled at her when he saw her approached.


“Are you ready?” He asked while Charley is wiggling on his hands.


Hwangbo pick up the poor dog and put him on her carrier. Hyunjoong saw the cats’ carrier so he picked them up one by one and place them on their carrier.


“ By the way Hyunjoong, this the last night I’m staying in your place. As soon as the supplier arrived tomorrow, I’ll set it up then the whole house will be yours alone.” She stated.


Hyunjoong just nodded and when they’re all set, Hwangbo locked the doors and they went back to his place.

“Tan tan tana...Tan tan tana” Hyunjoong hummed the wedding march loudly as he opened the door of his house. He was so drunk that he cannot even key in the right code on the lock. After several attempts and still the door won’t open, he just banged his fist and shouted...



“Yah, you door! Open! I command you!! I own you and you shouldn’t do this to me!” He continue hitting it and he almost stumbled when the door suddenly open.


“Mr Kim?!” Hwangbo asked in surprise.


“Yah! Hyejungssi. What are you doing here?” He asked with a smile. He then tried to step forward but again he almost stumbled. Hyejung assisted him but he just removed her hand on his arms. She just followed him as he made his way inside the house. He then slumped on the couch as soon as he reached it. Hyejung went to the kitchen to get a glass of warm water.


“What are you doing here, Hyejungssi?” he asked with eyes closed when Hyejung handed him the water.


“Sir, I’m trying to finish the final touches of your house. I know it’s late but I want everything ready when you move in. I’ll be heading home soon.” Hyejung explained.


“It’s ok, Hyejungssi. It’s better if you crash in one of the rooms here. It’s dangerous to go home at this hour.” Hyunjoong replied. When he finished drinking the water, he stood up and walk towards one of the rooms.


Hyejung just watched him on his way. She tried to help him out when he stood up but he just pushed her. He was swaying and stumbled several times but she just let him be.


“I wonder what’s wrong with him. First time for me to see him drunk. Aissh!” and she head on to the room she was decorating before Hyunjoong arrived.


Hwangbo Hyejung is a rising interior designer. She started her business just a year ago but she has been commissioned by a lot of artist. Her latest project is Hyunjoong’s 3 storey-loft style house. She was given only four months to finish this in time for Hyunjoong and his soon to be wife’s wedding scheduled this June. Hyunjoong just gave her the overall theme for the house but she’ll be in charge of all the other details. Money was never an issue, whenever Hyejung showed him the design and estimation; he’ll just issue cheque so she can proceed. Now it’s almost on its last phase, just some few minor details and decors to place and the house will be ready. She personally takes charge in the final touches, ensuring that this will be a success and that the couple will love the new house.


It was around 3am when Hyejung was awaken by the noise from the kitchen. She grabbed her jacket and put it on hurriedly. Thinking that it might be burglars, she grabbed one of the bronze table top statues and tip toed her way out of the room. She reached the kitchen area, when he saw a man’s back. She again tiptoed towards him, armed with the statue and just one wrong move, she’ll hit him hard. When she was just a foot away from him, only then was she able to realize that it was no other than Hyunjoong. He was sitting still, a glass of vodka on his hand while staring into the walls. Hyejung put down the statue on a nearby desk and gently approached him.


“ Mr.Kim, is there something wrong?” she asked gently so as not to startle him.


“Hyejungssi! I’m sorry. Did I wake you up? He asked. His eyes are now half close, his words slurred. He’s just way too drunk. “Care for a drink?” he asked again.


Hyejung hesitantly walked towards him and took the seat facing him. He gives her a shot and she just drinks it straight.


“Mr. Kim, I don’t mean to be nosy but, what happened?” She asked after taking the drink.


“Hyejungssi, how long have you known me personally?” He just answered with another question.


“Around four months. “She simply replied.


“Just call me by my first name. You know I’m getting married next week, right? “Hyunjoong enquired.


“Yes, Hyunjoongssi. That’s why I’m doing all my best to finish your house within the deadline. Don’t worry; everything will be ready when you move in.” Hyejung assured him and smiled.


“Well, Hyejungssi, you don’t need to hurry. The wedding ‘s cancelled.” He stated while gripping the glass so hard.


Hyejung, fearing that the glass might break and hurt him in the process, tried to take it from him. Hyunjoong didn’t let go but instead calmly place it in the counter. Hyejung remained speechless. After sometime, Hyunjoong spoke again.


“She was called to perform abroad and this time it’s gonna be a two year contract. It was so easy for her to call of f the wedding. She just told me that it’s been her dream to be in Broadway. How can I keep her from it.” He explained calmly but you can see the hurt in his eyes.


“But, can you just wait for her.?Two years will pass quickly. Before you knew it, she’ll be back.” Hyejung tried to appease him.


“She told me not to wait for her. She’s looking at great opportunities for her and she’ll definitely regret it if she’ll let it pass by getting married.” Hyunjoong replied.


“What about all the preparation? Everything’s ready now.” Hyejung uttered with a sigh.


“She said she’ll handle everything before she leave. She said it’s the only thing she can do for me. Her company’s going to have a press conference the day after tomorrow. “Hyunjoong replied and gave her another shot of vodka.


She took and it and said “So what’s your plan? How are you feeling? Well, that’s too dumb to ask right?”


“I really don’t have any plan but all I want is to get away from everything. Maybe I’ll just stay here for a couple of days or so. No one knows that I own this place. I just want to be alone.” He replied.

“Okay. Then I’ll go home first thing tomorrow. Anyways, only one room is left for me to finish and the rest is okay. I’ll just come back when you say so.” Hyejung stood up to leave. “I’ll go ahead and sleep so I can leave early, Hyunjongssi. Don’t worry I won’t tell a soul that you’re here.” She added with a smile and placed her hand on his shoulder.


She was only a couple of steps away when she heard him call her…


“ Hyejungssi!” then he paused, took a big sigh and said. “Can you just stay while I’m here?”
