38. Ethereal
"Since how long have you been waiting?"
It was the first thing that left my mouth. My eyes checked him up and down, hoping he would think that 'she is looking at me because she was not expecting me here' when the truth is I was checking him out because he looked too hot.
"Well, apparently waiting for one hundred and thirty minutes." He replied after looking at his rolex.
I knew he would be waiting here— he did wait for 2 and a fucking half hour.
"Why?" I asked, again.
"Why? Well as CEO of JinHit, I should be the first person to see you after your first gig." His words made me chuckle, and I genuinely smiled for the first time today.
"Do you do this with every artist under JinHit?" I asked, knowing the answer very well. He didn't reply, instead he opened the car door for me.
"Get in, or otherwise you will have your next scandal and believe when I say it won't be good for you if you get into one."
"What will you do if I get into one? Punish me?" I asked, leaning my face close to him— so close I could smell his cologne. Even though it was dark at the back of the studio, just a small street light at the end, yet I could see his face turning a light shade of red, his eyes dilating a little. I smirked when I heard no comments or snarky remarks from him. I backed away and sat inside, getting comfortable inside his ferrari. I saw him closing the door and getting inside— buckling his seatbelt.
Oh, I forgot to buckle mine.
Before my hands could reach the seatbelt, I froze when I felt his presence invaded my personal space. His hands extended to grip the seatbelt and with a click he buckled it. I looked up— my eyes widened when I saw how close his face was to mine. I felt my cheeks heating up, and I'm pretty sure he noticed that even if the glasses of the windows were tinted— because a taunting smirk formed on his lips, telling he knew the effect he had on me. He backed away and turned the ignition on. One hand on the clutch while the other was in the steering wheel.
I took a harsh gulp, diverting my eyes to the tinted window, watching the static scenery slowly moving and soon it became motion blurred. The ride was silent, except the noise of his fingers tapping on the steering wheel.
Why is he ain't talking?
I sneakily looked at him, definitely the reason to come here wasn't 'you're JinHit employee so I came to see you' shit. I was very well aware it was something else— and also aware of what something else was. Just, I was not sure about it if that something else was the something else I had in mind.
Maybe I'm just overthinking a lot?
"So…" Finally! "How was your day?" Fuck.
What was I supposed to say to him?
"It was good?" I tried to sound affirmative but my sentence came out as a question filled with uncertainty. He looked at me with a skepical look on his face and at that moment I knew I fucked up.
"After your response I'm convinced it was anything but good, tell me everything." He ordered, eyes going back to the road. I sighed, looking at my hands while with it.
"Well…" I trailed on, still unsure if I should tell him everything or not? Skip some parts or make some minor events to justify why my day went not well. But again, it's all done. I'm not working for 3seconds so I don't have to work with creep Steve anymore— besides I need someone to vent out, the heavy feeling in my heart needs to fade away and it can only vanish if I talk about either my three dorks or Jin. "I had a normal day, like how other models have." I tried not to exaggerate it.
"Define a normal day in a model's day." He hissed, getting irritated.
"I had to deal with Steve Kang because he was the photographer for today's shoot. He invited me to his house for a personal photoshoot and when I politely declined, even though all I wanted to do was kick his dried ball, he told me I was a lousy model." I looked at Jin, his jaw tightened and I saw a couple of veins popping on his neck.
Damn daddy hot— wait what the fuck.
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" He asked, his tone changed completely. He had this anger and seriousness in his voice which I heard only once— the time when he was talking to Hayoon in the park.
"It wasn't necessary at all?" I shrugged my shoulders, trying to show him I wasn't eager to let him know that. "I mean, all the models went through and don't you think I should too? I'm already a part of nepotism. I think I should apologize to the models who work hard to get to the position I'm in right now." What I said was true, fight me
"Sunhee." He looked at me, warning me to stop. "How many times I have to tell you, you're not here because of favouritism, you're here because you deserve it. Even if I didn't know you, I would have cast the girl you ran into my car because her mascara fell down." A soft chuckle left from my mouth. "Rest, no model should go through what you call a normal day for harassment. That's such a fucking shame models have to go through shit Steven Kang every day." He huffed, speaking the entire thing in one breath.
"So…" I asked him when he went awfully quiet.
"Why didn't you kick his balls?" He suddenly spoke, and believe me it was hard for me to stop myself from snorting.
"Well, I couldn't just kick him because, one I'm a model. Second, I'm not just a model, I'm a model who represent JinHit— I carried JinHit's name with me. Third, I didn't want any more viral news. Fourth…"
I didn't want to disappoint you.
I wanted to say that but I didn't. "Fourth, it was my first day so yeah." Lame fill up but yeah.
"That's so unlike you." Jin shook his head, taking a sharp turn. I know right, that was so unlike me. "But remember Sunhee, don't let people like Steven Kang affect you. You're such a good model." He looked at me, making me gulp.
"A-And how can you say that?" Did I just shutter? Fuck.
"I have seen your portfolio photos and that was enough to justify my previous statement. You're one of the best models I have ever seen, you're talented, you are beautiful and you have everything it takes to be a good model." My heart pumped in my chest loudly, probably Jin could hear it sprinting. My cheeks blushed so hard and I felt all the negative emotions leaving my body— making me feel so light.
Like I was floating.
Maybe because he called me beautiful? Or talented? Or maybe he said the words I wanted to hear since morning? I mean, Heesu told me those too— but I don't know why his words just felt so good.
"What are you looking at?" He snapped his fingers in front of my eyes, raising his eyebrow— his attention fell on me for a moment and then once again went back to the road.
"Nothing?" I looked away from him, drifting my attention back to the window. It was then when I realized we weren't going to my home, or anywhere else I know. "Where are we going Jin?" I asked him.
"Guess?"
"Somewhere you can murder me and take your revenge?"
"No, if I ever wanted to take a revenge on you I won't murder you. That's very quick and no fun at all."
"Seokjin, you're so funny." He was funny, but not funny haha, but funny weird. He was fucking sacring me.
"Chill Sunhee, you look like you just saw a ghost." Jin's laugh filled the atmosphere, his laugh sounded like a windshield wipe. I couldn't help but immediately burst into laughter, I couldn't contain myself after hearing his laugh.
It was so…funny, but in a cute way.
"Why are you laughing?" He asked, wiping the tear off his corner of his eyes.
"I don't know." I said between the laughs. Soon we stopped laughing and silence once again filled the car. To escape that, I extended my hand to turn on the radio, and searched for something good.
"Gorgeous." I gasped when I heard one of my favourite songs.
"This is my jam!" I squealed, unintentionally hitting poor Jin's hand.
"Ouch. Women chill." He groaned but I shushed him.
"You should take it as a compliment." I sang along to the song.
"That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk." It was a surprise to me when Jin sang the next line.
"You should think about the consequence
of your magnetic field being a little too strong."
"And I got a boyfriend, he's older than us."
"He's in the club doing, I don't know what."
"You're so cool, it makes me hate you so much."
"Whisky on ice, Sunset and Vine."
"You've ruined my life, by not being mine."
"You're so gorgeous." I was supposed to sing that line, but Jin did instead. But you know what was the problem with my poor heart. He just didn't sing the line, but also looked at me in my eyes, giving me a smile.
What's with Seokjin today, he's smiling, he's laughing and he's making my heart run wild.
Because for a second I felt he was saying that to me.
"I can't say anything to your face." He continued to sing along, whereas I sat in my seat. After what he had done to me, the woman was too stunned to speak— all I was doing to process events in my mind.
What did he mean? Was it just lyrics or—
Again I'm overthinking.
I shook my head, once again my hand extended and changed the station. Jin groaned, he was really into the song when I decided to change it— I mean I was too but right now I don't want anything romantic here otherwise I will end up thinking again, will interpret mixed signals on my own and by the end of the chapter my heart will be out of my chest.
"Hate'll paralyze your mind." I heard the love of my life singing, another gasp left from my mouth and without thinking anything I started to sing along.
"Gotta see the other side
It costs ya nothin' to be kind
Not so different you and I
Lookin' for love in a different light
Until we find that equal sign." I sang, feeling the vibes and forgetting all the shit whereas Jin bopped his head, sometimes looking at me.
"Since when are you hope?" He asked me, and now we are talking. That was my kinda talk.
"It's been years since I've been his fan. I listened to debut song 5 year and instantly fell in love with his songs and passion for music."
"You've been his fan since debut?" He asked, quite shocked. I chuckled and nodded my head.
"And when I decided to know more about him, like everything I watched his pre-debut and debut videos and got to know about little cat rapper and namu." I explained to him more. "And after that, I decided to listen to their music, and oh my god! Yoongi's swag made me become a suga— I mean his rapping and tongue technology is there but dude, have you seen Min Yoonji? Skirt waitress Yoongi? That guy has loads of swag! And omg, Namjoon, Jin you have no idea how much I have laughed while watching compilation videos of him breaking things and doing 147 IQ questionable things. Sometimes I wonder if he really has 147 IQ. Then I remember how well he's with word play and everything— which is enough to prove he really has 147 IQ. But again, how will you react when you see him shoving french fries in his nostrils. He does questionable things, like— making me question my sanity. Recently he mentioned in his ulive he started doing workout. He really wants us to be dead, I don't know where to look now, should I watch his cute sexy face or look at his namtiddies or look at his thighs. This reminds me, Min Yoongi— the first thing I'm gonna do when I get rich is to sue Min Yoongi like how dare that man make my life harder than it already is. Like, ever since he has started growing his hair my life is not the same as it used to be— and let me tell you Seokjin, if JinHit decides to chop off his hair I won't be responsible for the person I will be." I looked at Jin, my eyebrows creased when I saw him smiling while looking at me— then I realized what I had done. Embarrassment resided on my face, my hands slowly covering my hot face.
"Why did you stop?" He asked, and I could sense his teasing smile.
"I-Im sorry, I have a habit of overtalking when it comes to topics like this." I shuttered again.
"I know and it's okay, I liked it." Once again, if he makes my heart dance again I will kick his no-no area. "I like the way you talk about your interest, with so much enthusiasm." I will remember this, I will avenge this by kicking his nuts someday, for now I will just blush. "And, just to let you know, we are here." Jin announced and got out of the car
My face blushed more. I didn't realize when the car stopped. I nodded, still figuring out when we reached here. I unbuckled the seatbelt and before I could open the door, Jin opened the door for me. I mumbled a small thank you and stepped out of his car— but stopped when I realized where we were.
"You brought me to Jasal cliff?!" I was confused, out of all the places he decided to bring me to a hot spot where people end their life.
"Don't be a boomer, just because it's Jasal cliff it doesn't make it bad." Jin leaned at the hood of his car, and god I swear I feel myself decreasing. He looked so sexy, black clothes matched with his black ferrari— will definitely smash.
My eyes widened, immediately turning my head away from him and crusing at myself. What the fuck is wrong with me today, just because he look good I can't thirst on him. Remember he's Jin and Seokjin. You're friend and boss—
But wait, didn't I like Jin? Well, like? I don't know— well I did like Jin when I didn't know who he was, perhaps I just like Jin and the way of talking but after knowing he was actually Kim Seokjin I'm really confused. Fuck me.
"Why did you bring me here?" I asked, not looking into his eyes.
"Well, I didn't plan to bring you here to be very honest. Initially I was just going to drop you off at home but when you told me how your day went I decided it would be better to lift up your mood. Didn't have any place in mind and looking at the current trends, you can't go anywhere with me so I brought you here." He looked around, walking closer to me. "I come here when I feel a need to forget everything, every bad thing and negative emotions. And on top, this place is secluded. People rarely come here and if they do, they don't return so there is no chance of having scandals and getting caught." Well that turned out dark.
"So, forget it's Jasal cliff and enjoy." He grabbed my shoulder and turned me around, making me face the open sky and forest.
The full moon hung beautifully in the vast sky, like a pearl shining beautifully. The stars dance and twinkling, accompanying the moon to make the sky look more pretty. It's rare to see a sky full of stars in the city, and to look at this beautiful sight you need to be out of all the rush and negativity. On the top, the nature scented breeze made everything more beautiful. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, relaxing myself. With a wide smile, I opened my eyes feeling refreshed and happy already. I looked at Jin, who was standing beside me. Before I could open my mouth to talk about how beautiful it was here I stopped.
If the moon was looking beautiful, he was looking ethereal. I was dumb to stare moon when I could stare him, because he lookwd more beautiful than all moon of Saturn combined.
The beauty of Moon, Areil, Callisto, Charon, Dione and Enceladus was nothing infront of him.
He was looking at the moon, capturing its beauty— I was doing the same. The moonlight cascading on him, making him glow, soft breeze made his hair dance and his eyes sparkled just like stars in the sky.
"The moon…" his attention parted from the moon and he looked at me. "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"
"It is." He replied, looking back at the moon.
"And the stars, they shine so bright— so pretty." I was talking about his eyes. He looked at me, a soft smile playing in his lips.
"No, I don't think so."
"Why do you think so?"
"Because," my heart skipped a beat when he leaned in. "No star can shine as bright as your eyes." His fingers softly and gently caressed my cheeks, sending jolts of electricity to my entire body. I forze, my heart was hammering and my brain was not functioning at all.
Sunhee.exe stopped.
I did what any sane person would do.
I closed my eyes, feeling his fingers tracing my jawline. I puckered my lips, anticipating a kiss. At this point my heart was pounding inside my rib cage— almost getting out of it. Goosebumps spread to my body when I felt his hot breath on my face, and soon I felt his fingers tucking my hair behind my ear.
"What are you doing now?" I immediately opened my eyes, just to find him looking at me with a confused face. Once again, embarrassment filled my entire body and the only thing I wanted so bad was to disappear right now.
"Ah!" I laughed loudly and stepped back from him creating some distance. "Nothing, I was doing nothing." I laughed awkwardly. Looking here and there but him, I can't look at him right now I'm so embarrassed. "Wanna go back?" I asked, not looking at him. "It's late, and I have to sleep otherwise I will be tardy tomorrow and as you said you don't like tardy employees." I rambled, clearly flustered.
"Yeah, alright." I looked at him when I saw some sort of disappointment in his voice. He was looking everywhere but me, a frown residing in his beautiful face, his hand formed into fist and lips were mumbling something I couldn't understand.
Did I make him uncomfortable?
"Let's get going." I nodded and sat inside his car. He sat inside and started the car. The entire ride back to my home was silent, he didn't talk neither I started the conversation. He dropped me off with a small goodbye and before I could say goodbye to him he drove away from the porch.
Guilt formed in my stomach, I ruined such a beautiful moment.
But I think whatever happened, happened for the good.
At least I got time, time to ask myself and figure it out.
What are my feelings towards Jin?
