*Yeah. He’s giving my salary.* you must be happy that he’s going to give your salary but it’s different. After the kiss on the vacation, you became uneasy with him. You now created a feelings towards him. *Why is this so hard?* you sighed but texted him back.

You then prepared yourself and went to his office.

“Um, I’m looking for Jaejoong.” you said to the lady who passed by as you reach his Work Place.
Suddenly, Mr. Lee appeared and saw you. “Uh, Ms. Hyerin right?” he asked. You look at him, “Ne.” you bowed.
“What brings you here Miss?” he asked. “I’m looking for Jaejoong.” you replied. Mr. Lee at the lady, “You can go now.” he said as the lady left.
“This way Miss.” he led the way. You nodded and followed him.
As you two reach the main door of Jaejoong’s office, you bowed again to Mr. Lee, “Thank you.” you said. “No problem Miss.” “No need to be formal.” you said. “Just call me Hyerin.” you added. “Okay, Hyerin.” he said as you smiled.
He then opened the door and led you inside. “Sir, Hyerin is here looking for you.” Mr. Lee bowed. Jaejoong look up, “Okay. Um, Mr. Lee.. can you get my documents on my office at my house?” he asked. “Yes sir.” he bowed again and left.
You sat on the couch. “Where’s my salary now?” you asked. “Don’t be so hurry. Don’t worry I’m going to give it. Just wait me to finished this.” he make an excused but he really want you to stayed with some more time.
You pouted. “Aish!” He just smiled went back on what he was doing.
---
Yunho went to Jaejoong’s Work Place to have a talk. Since Mr. Lee not around and he also know where Jaejoong’s office is, he walks straight there.
When he was about to opened the door, he heard a familiar voice of yours. *Hyerin?* he wondered.
He then lean his ears on the door to hear what you two are talking about. Until he heard you say, “Where’s my salary now?”
*Salary?* he was confused so he continued hearing what you two were talking about. This time Jaejoong the one who spoke, “I’m your Boss and you’re just my hired girlfriend so you better wait for your salary.”
Yunho’s eyes widen in shocked. *Did Jaejoong said, Hyerin is just his HIRED girlfriend?* he thought and slowly stand straight.
You on the other hand still forcing Jaejoong to give your salary. “Yah! If you didn’t gave my salary right now, I don’t have choice but to tickled you.” you warned. Jaejoong look at you in horror, “No.” he said.
“Then give my salary now.” you said. “Aish! Araseo.” he pulled out his wallet and get the money and handed it to you, “Here..”
You walks to him and took it, “Only 100,000 won? It’s not fair! I worked so hard on that vacation so you need to give me a bonus.” you said.
He rolled his eyes but get some more money on his wallet. “Here.. Happy?” he handed you 50,000 won. You amiled and took it, “Of course I do!” you said. “I’m going now.” you added an left.
Yunho can hear your foot step so he quickly hide beside the wall. You were happily went out from Jaejoong’s office but when the time you turn on the right for the elevator’s direction, you froze to see Yunho standing there.
“Uh-oh.. Yunho-ah..” you gasped. “W-What are you doing here?” you askes, nervous. “You, what are you doing here?” he asked. “Me? T-To v-visit my boyfriend of course!” you nervously laugh. “Really?” he remained serious.
“Of course! What will be the other reason for me to come here?” you asked. “Maybe because of your salary?” he give you a hint.
You stunned by his words. You couldn’t say any word to gave him a response. “I already heard all. You don’t need to act in front of me. You’re just his hired girlfriend right?” he asked. You then quickly put your hand on his mouth, “Don’t say it again. Jaejoong gonna fire me if he knows that you already knew.” you said. “Let’s talk about it to the other place not here.” you added as you removed your hand from his mouth.
He nodded, “Okay let’s go!” With that, you two ride the elevator and went to the near Coffee Shop.
---
“What was all you heard?” you suddenly asked as you two reach the Coffee Shop. “All. Even about your salary.” he replied.
Your shoulder fell as you heard what he said. “So.. you really heard.” you bowed your head.
He nodded, “Why did you agreed to be his hired girlfriend?” he suddenly asked. “I didn’t have any job and Jaejoong is the only one who help me to earn money.” you replied.
“But this secret will revealed soon.” he warned. “Yes, I know. But all I need to do is to make Boa jealous and make her back to Jaejoong. That’s my goal.” you said. “He still loves Boa?” he asked.
You nodded, “So please don’t say about this to anyone. I really need this job. I know I already ask you a favor on the vacation but now I’m asking you again a favor. Can you keep this for me?” you asked.
He sighed, “Okay but you to go out with me tomorrow.” he said. “Go out with you tomorrow?” you repeated.
He nodded, “Yes. Just go out with me and I’ll keep your secret.” he said. You paused for a while then suddenly nodded. “Okay I’ll go with you tomorrow.” you don’t have any choice.
He smiled, “So.. I’ll see you tomorrow.” he said. “Okay. So I need to go now.” you said and left.
*At least I now know that she’s still free.* a smile formed on his face.
CHAPTER 32
At night, you received a phone call from Jaejoong. *Eh? Why is he calling me now?* you thought.
You then pulled out your hand phone and pressed the ‘answer’ button. “Yeoboseyo?” you answered. “What did you called?” you suddenly asked. “Are you free tomorrow?” he asked.
*Why is he asking me that kind of question?* you thought. “Yes. Wae?” you asked. “Let’s go out tomorrow.” he said.
You was about to accept his offer when you remembered about yoir conversation with Yunho earlier. “Uh, I forgot! I have a plan for tomorrow.” you replied.
“What? Where?” he asked. “I’m going out with a friend.” you said. “You have a friend?” he asked.
“Of course I do have!” you said. “Then cancel it.” he said. “What? No! I can’t” you replied.
“Wae? Who was your friend that you’re going to meet up tomorrow?” he asked. “You didn’t know him so stop asking me.” you replied.
“Him? Your friend is a guy?” he asked, curious. “Yes. Uh-oh.. My battery gonna die now. Bye!” you then quickly hand up and off your phone.
“Yah—” Jaejoong want to say something to you but you already hang up. “Aish! That girl!” he then laid on the bed.
*I wonder who’s her guy friend that her gonna meet up tomorrow.* he thought as he closed his eyes.
---
Morning came, you received a message from Yunho.
to: Hyerin
Are you ready? I’m going to fetch you in an hour.
from: Yunho
*Eh? He’s going to fetch me?* you then texted him back.
to: Yunho
No need to fetch me. Let’s just meet at the mall.
from: Hyerin
Yunho texted you back also,
to: Hyerin
Okay. Let’s see each other at the mall then.
from: Yunho
You then prepared yourself and went out after that. For your surprised, you saw Jaejoong at the front door.
“What are you doing here?” you suddenly asked. “I’ll go with you.” he replied.
You quickly shook your head, “No. You can’t!” you said. “Wae?” he asked. “Because..” “Because?” he’s waiting for your answer.
“Because I don’t want to.” you said. “Are you hiding something from me huh?!” he asked. You nervously laugh, “Of course not! Just go home now so I can go also.” you said as you started to walk. He followed you.
“Yah! Stop following me!” you shouted. “I already told you that I’ll go with you.” he said. “I already told you also that you can’t.” you said.
“Whatever! I still go with you.” he said. You rolled your eyes, “Aish!”
“Uh, Is that Boa?” you pointed as his back. He turns to his back, “Where?” Then you take this a chance and started to run. He then look back in front only to see you running away. *What? She just trick me? Aish!* he want to run after you but you suddenly disappeared on his sight.
CHAPTER 33
You were still running until you reach the mall. You saw Yunho at main door at the mall and you quickly dragged him to go inside.
“Wae? What’s happening?” Yunho asked in confusion. “Jaejoong wasso curious about who’s I’m gonna meet today so we better go t the theater now.” you said.
He nodded, “Uh yeah. Come on!” he replied as you two started to walks to the theater place.
Yunho quickly buy two tickets as you reach the theater place. This time, he choose a comedy movie since you got scared last time at the horror movie.
You just laugh the whole time at the theater brcause of the movie that you watched. Yunho laugh along and was very happy that you’re now enjoyed the movie.
As the movie ended, you two went out. “That was very funny.” you beamed. “Yeah unlike the last time right?” he teased. You pouted.
“Okay! Let’s eat.” he suggested. You nodded, “Yeah!”
You two started to eat as you two reach the restaurant and as your order already served. You finished your food so fast as always. Yunho didn’t shocked anymore since he already knew your hubby when it comes to food. He just smiled at you.
After you two eat, you two started to walk around the mall like you do last time. When the time getting late, you two decided to went back home.
Yunho offered you to take you home as you accept it.
As Yunho’s car stopped at your place, you two went out from the car and Yunho walks you to your front door.
To your surprised, Jaejoong was there, waiting for you. Jaejoong looks at you and frowned when he saw Yunho next to you. “You meet up with Yunho?” he coldly asked.
You then walks to him, “I’ll talk to you inside.” you said. “No. Tell it to me right now.” he ordered. “But—” “I said tell it to me right now!” he said in a bit a high voice that made you jump a little.
“I’m going to explain.” Yunho suddenly said. You shook your head at him to gave hima signal not to tell him taht he already knew.
“Yeah right! You’re the one who need to explain this. So.. Why are you with my girlfriend?” Jaejoong coldly asked.
“No need to act in front of me.” Yunho said. You shook your head to stopped him.
“What?!” Jaejoong gasped. “I already know the truth. Hyerin is just you HIRED girlfriend right?” he emphasized the word ‘hired’. You just closed your eyes when you heard what was Yunho said.
Jaejoong gave you a look, “You told him?” he asked. You shook your head, “No!” you snapped.
“She didn’t tell me anything. I just heard it at your Work Place yesterday.” Yunho said. “Yesterday?” Jaejoong asked.
Yunho nodded, “Yes. When Hyerin was asking about her salary.” he said. Jaejoong look at you. You nodded to gave him a signal that Yunho’s said was right.
Jaejoong then look back at Yunho, “Okay. I’m now satisfied at your explanation. So can you please leave us alone to have talk?” he asked. Yunho look at you in concerned. You nodded, ‘I’m okay.’ you mouthed.
“Okay. I’ll go ahead now.” Yunho said and left. Jaejoong look at you, “Let's talk inside.” he ordered as you two went in. You two sat on the couch.
“So Yunho now knew about our secret.” Jaejoong whispered. “What if he tell this to everyone?” he asked, worried.
“Don’t worry, he won’t.” you replied. “How can you sure?” he asked again.
You then told him about your conversation with him yesterday, about his condition for him to keep the secret.
“So.. That’s why you’re with him today and you didn’t told me who is you’re going to meet up?” he asked as you nodded.
He sighed, “Now that Yunho knew about our secret, we just need to trust him that he will not tell this to anyone.” he said. “Yeah, I guess.” you nodded.
“I’m going now.” Jaejoong whispered. “Okay. I’ll walk you out.” you offered as he nodded.
You then walk him to the door. “Be careful on your way.” you said. “Okay.” with that, he left as you went in and closed the door.
CHAPTER 34
Next day, you were busy watching TV when you heard a sudden knock coming from the front door.
You look up, *Aish! I don’t want to accept visitors today. I just want to take some rest since my past days was very tiring.* you sighed and walks to the door and open it.
Yunho was the one who are standing at your front door. “Uh, Yunho-ah..” you said.
“Annyeong!” he said as he waved his right hand with a wide smile on his face. “What are you doing here?” you suddenly asked.
“Wae? Can’t I visit my friend?” he asked. You then shook your head, “No. I’m just surprised with your sudden visit. You didn’t even call me or text me before you could have a visit.” you explained.
“Let’s just called this a surprised then.” he said as he smiled. You just smiled back, “Come on in.” you led the way as he followed. “Have a sit. I’m going to get a tea.” yoi said as Yunho sat on the couch and you went to kitchen.
As you come back, you was holding a cup of tea and handed it to Yunho. He warmly took it from you.
You were about to sit also when you heard a sudden knock again. *Eh? Who is it now?* you tirely thought. You then look down to Yunho, “Just wait here. I’m going to check the door.” you said as he nodded.
You walks to the door and open it only to see Jaejoong standing there. Your eyes widen in horror. You then look t your back and lightly closed the door. “What are you doing here?” you whispred. “Wae? Is your Boss can’t visit you huh?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.
*Yes, you can but not on this kind of situation. Yunho is also here, I can’t handle you two.* you thought. “Hey! Let’s just go inside okay.” he started to walks forward to your apartment but you quickly stopped him, “No. You can’t!”
He frowned at you. “Because my house is still messy.” you lied. “It’s okay.” he replied and started to walks forward again but you stopped him on the 2nd time. “No.” you snapped.
He frowned in confusion again, “What’s with you huh?”
You were about to gave him an explanation again when you heard Yunho said, “Hyerin-ah, who is it?” he asked were he was inside your apartment. You just closed your eyes, *I’m so dead!* you thought.
Jaejoong raised an eyebrow to you, “Who’s that?” he asked. “Nothing!” you quickly replied. “No. That voice is sounds familiar. I want to check.” he then quickly went inside your apartment that you didn’t stopped him anymore because of the sudden quick.
You runs to him, trying to stopped but he already saw Yunho. “Yunho?” he look at you. You just lowered your head.
“Uh, Jaejoong! What are you doing here?” Yunho asked. Jaejoong look at him, “You, what are you doing here?” he asked. “I’m visiting my friend.” Yunho replied. “You?” Yunho asked back again. “I’m also visiting my worker.” Jaejoong replied.
Jaejoong and Yunho looking to each other with a cold eyes. The atmosphere become different. You could feel it.
You then suddenly spoke to break the eye contact contest between him, “Okay. You two please sit while I’m prearing the lunch.” you said.
“I’ll go help you.” Yunho offered. “No. I’m going to help you.” Jaejoong said. Yunho look at him, “You can’t! You didn’t know that kind of thing right?” he said. “Yes, he was right! You just sit here while me and Yunho preparing the food.” you said as you and Yunho went to the kitchen to prepared the food.
Jaejoong rolled his eyes and just sat on the couch. *Aish! He was really annoyed me!* Jaejoong thought.
---
“The lunch is ready!” you called for Jaejoong to heard and come there. Jaejoong then went to the dining area.
The 3 of you started to eat as you and Yunho talking about the taste of the food. Jaejoong was now out of place so that he just eat silently.
As the 3 of you finished the lunch, you 3 went back to the living room.
“Let’s a watch a movie!” you suggested. “Okay!” Yunho agreed. Jaejoong rolles his eyes, “Let’s watch a horror movie.” he said.
You and Yunho look at each other. “No. Let’s just watch a comedy.” Yunho protested. You smiled at him for helping you, “Okay. Let’s watch a comedy!” you beamed as you get a comedy movie. Jaejoong rolled his eyes again, *I’m now pissed off!*
As the movie started, you and Yunho were laughing because of the movie as Jaejoong just watch you two being close to each other. *If he’s not my friend, I already punch him for sure!* Jaejoong thought.
---
“That was so funny!” you beamed as the moviee ended. “Yeah, right!” Yunho agreed. “That was bored!” Jaejoong suddenly whispered. You gave him a look.
You then take a look at the watch, it’s already 7:00 pm. “Uh, it’s already dark outside. I think it’s the time for you two to leave. I hope you’ll understand.” you said.
“Of course we will, right Jaejoong?” Yunho asked. Jaejoong just rolled his eyes. You gave him a look. “Aish! Araseo. We’ll going to leave now.”
You lead them to the front door. “Thanks for the visit.” you bowed. “No problem.” Yunho replied. You smiled at him then turns to Jaejoong. “Uh, yeah. No problem.” he said. “Let’s leave now Yunho.” Jaejoong said as Yunho nodded.
You then close your door as they started to leave. You suddenly started to prepared your dinner but then you heard a knock from your door.
CHAPTER 35
You suddenly stopped on what you were doing because od the sudden knock. *Who is it this time?* you thought as you walks to the door and open it.
To your surprised, it was Jaejoong again. “Yah—” you want to yelled at him but he quickly dragged you inside and closed the door.
“Yah! Why are you still here?” you then asked. “Wae? Can’t I?” he just replied as he walks to the kitchen. You followed him, “Yes. You can’t! It’s already dark, you need to go home now.” you said.
“Later.” he replied. “No. Just go now!” you protested. He ignored you then, “Uh, you’re cooking dinner! I should wait for it.” he beamed.
“What?! No way!” you shouted. “You don’t have choice.” he smirked. You rolled your eyes as you continued preparing the food.
---
“Woah! They all looks delicious!” Jaejoong beamed as you finished. You rolled your eyes again on him. “Let’s start to eat now.” Jaejoong suggested.
“Psh!” you whispered but started to eat as Jaejoong also.
---
“Since you already eat dinner here, so I think you can go now?” you asked. He shook his head, “Later.” he said. You rolled your eyes on him once more.
You then look at the window, “Eh? It’s raining.” you whispered. Jaejoong look at you, “Raining?” he asked.
You nodded, “Yes and it seems like it will become a heavy rain or typhoon?” you replied. “I think you really need to leave now before the rain became heavy.” you suggested.
But Jaejoong shook his head again, “Sirrheo!” he said. You then walks to him and tried to stand him up, “Go now!” you ordered as he finally stand up. “Why you always want me to leave but you let Yunho to stayed here huh?” he said.
“What?!” you gasped. “Nothing! I’ll go ahead now.” he was about to leave when suddenly the atmosphere become dark.
“What happen?” you suddenly asked. “I think there’s a black-out because of the rain.” Jaejoong replied. *Oh no! Not now.* you thought since you’re afraid in the dark especially when it’s raining.
“I’m going now.” Jaejoong said. “No!” you snapped. “What?!” he asked in confusion.
“Where are you? I’m scared.” you said, trembling as you froze on you spot. He laugh, “What? You? Scared? You can’t fool me!” he didn’t believed you at first but you were remained silent.
“Hyerin? Are you still there?” he suddenly asked. “Y-Yes. W-Where are y-you?” you nervously asked.
He could now feel that you’re really scared. “I’m just here.” he said as he walks to you. You then quickly hold his arm.
“Do you have a lamp here?” he asked. “Yes, there at the kitchen.” you nervously replied. “Okay. Just wait here. I’ll go get it.” he was about to leave when you quickly hug him because of a sudden lightning came. “Don’t leave me.” you whispered.
He look at you surprised, “Okay. Hold my hand so I can lead the way.” he pulled out his hand and you took it. “Don’t worry. I won’t leave you.” he whispered as you nodded.
“Come on!” he said as you two started to walk.
---
“There! I found it!” Jaejoong said as he found the lamp. He quickly lighten it up. That time, he can now see your face. Your eyes were teary.
“Are you okay?” he asked. You shook your head. “Okay. I’ll stay until the light came back.” he said. You just nodded.
“Come on! You need to sleep now.” he said as you nodded. You two walk to your room as you were holding his arm.
---
“Go sleep now. I’ll just say here.” he said as you laid down on your bed and he sat on the chair, a bit far from your bed.
Suddenly, a loud sound of lightning came again. You screamed, scared. Jaejoong quickly runs to you, “Gwenchana?” he asked.
You shook your head as you hug his arm. “I’ll stay here by your side. No need to be scared now.” he tried to alm you. You nodded.
Then another lightning came again. You couldn’t help but to screamed again and hug his body.
Jaejoong then laid next to you for you to calm. You’re still hugging him. “Don’t worry, I’m still on your side.” he whispered on your ears.
A lightning came one more time. You hugged him more tight this time. For you to get more calm, he hugs you back and gently stroke your hair. “Go sleep now. Don’t mind the lightning.” he whispered.
You nodded then suddenly, you fell asleep with his warm embrace. You feel better with his arms. Jaejoong stared at your sleeping face.
A smiled went up to his face. *You’re so cute when you’re scared.*
Soon, Jaejoong also fall asleep.
CHAPTER 36
As the sun finally rise, your eyes slowly open. The first thing you saw is the sight of Jaejoong’s face. *What is he doing here?* you thought.
But then you remembered what happened last night. A smile went up to your face, *He really did stayed.* you happily thought.
You suddenly realized that you were hugging each other but you didn’t mind it and continued hugging him. You stared at his handsome face. You were enjoying the view.
Until, Jaejoong’s eyes slowly open. He caught you staring at him. You froze on your spot and didn’t take off your eyes on him. You want to look away but your eyes are glued on him. He also didn’t move instead he just stared back.
Both of you staring to each other for a while until Jaejoong’s eyes turns down to your lips and started to lean in towards you. You just watch him, waiting for his lips to met yours.
When the diatance between you two was only inch, your alarm clock suddenly rang. Both of you quickly look away because of the sudden sound.
You then quickly sat up and off your alarm clock. “I’ll go wash my face.” you said and quickly run to the bathroom. Jaejoong just rubbed the back of his neck.
---
“That was so close!” you whispered as you went inside the bathroom. You then wash your red face.
You look at the mirror and lightly slapped your cheeks, “Hyerin, you need to stop liking him now. He can love you back. Boa is only the one at his heart.” you whispered.
You then put your hand to your chest. *Why are you beating so fast for him? Can you please stop? I don’t want to get hurt.* you said on your mind.
---
Jaejoong look around at your room. *So.. I fall asleep here.* he thought. He walk around to your room and his attention turns to your calendar. There’s a red mark on the 30th of December and there’s something written on it. He lean in to read the small font that written on it. ‘My bithday’, that’s the one that were written. *Eh? If I didn’t mistake today is 29 so that means... tomorrow is her birthday?* his eyes widen on his thought.
Suddenly, you went out from your bathroom. “You go wash your face and I’ll go preparing breakfast.” you said as he nodded.
Jaejoong went to your bathroom to wash his face as you went to the kitchen to prepare the breakfast.
---
“Breakfast is ready.” you said as you finished preparing. Jaejoong went to the dining room. Then both of you started to eat.
“What are you planning to do tomorrow?” he suddenly asked. “Tomorrow? Nothing!” you replied.
“You didn’t have any plan for your birthday?” he asked. “Eh? Uh yeah! I forgot that my birthday is tomorrow.” you whispered. “But how did you know?” you asked him in confusion.
“I saw on your calendar at your room.” he replied. You nodded in understanding. “So.. what’s your plan?” he asked again. You shook your hand, “Nothing! I didn’t celebrate my birthday for years.” you replied.
“What?! That’s your day so you need to celebrate it.” he said. “No need for that but if you want just give me a gift.” you said.
He rolled his eyes, “You wish!” he said. You pouted.
---
“I’m going now.” Jaejoong said as you two finished the breakfast. “Okay. By the way, thanks for staying here last night. I’m sorry for my sudden action last night, I was just scared at that time.” you said. He shook his head, “No. It’s okay. I’m leaving now.” he said.
“Okay. Annyeong!” you waved. He just nodded and left.

A smiled went up to your face. *We’re going to celebrate my birthday. I’m so excited!*
CHAPTER 37
After you received a message from Jaejoong, you then received a phone call coming from Yunho.
“Yeoboseyo?” you answered. “Good morning Hyerin!” he greeted.
“Uh.. Good morning. What did you called?” you asked. “Uh.. about that, I just want to ask if you’re free tonight?” he asked.
“Tonight?” you repeated. “Yes. I just want to have a dinner with you.” he replied.
“Yunho-ah, I’m sorry but I already have plan tonight.” you said. “Are you alone?” he asked.
“No. I’m with Jaejoong.” you replied. “Eh? Is there something special today?” he asked, curious. “Um.. Actually, today is my birthday and Jaejoong prepared a celebration for it.” you replied.
“Today is your birthday?” he repeated. “Yes.” you replied. “Uh-oh, I’m sorry and happy birthday.” “No. It’s okay and thank you.”
“So.. Maybe next time?” he asked. “Okay.” you forcely replied.
With that, the phone call ended.

When the time stopped at 6:30, Mr. Lee came at your apartment to fetch you.
Both of you arrived at the restaurant at 6:45. “Where’s Jaejoong?” you suddenly asked Mr. Lee. “He’s on the way now.” Mr. Lee replied.
You nodded in understanding. “Have a sit first Hyerin.” he said as you nodded again and sat on the chair.
You saw a table with 3 candle lights at the center and a boquet of flowers. There are also 3 man holding a violin. The set up was very perfect. *Woah! This was so perfect! I’m very excited to thank him.* you thought.
---
Jaejoong was on the way when he received a phone call from Boa. *Why is she calling me now?* he asked himself. He just ingnored the call but it rings so many times.
He was really annoyed now so he answered it instead. “Why are you calling?” Jaejoong quickly asked. No response. “Yah! Did you hear me?!” he was really annoyed.
Jaejoong was about to end the call when Boa finally spoke, “Jaejoong-ah, what have you done to me?” she said with a husky voice. “Yah! What happen to you?” he asked.
“Wae? Are you cared to me now?” she asked and laugh like crazy. “Wait! Are you drunk?” he asked. “What if I am? You don’t care right? I want to die now!” she said as she started to cry.
“Where are you?” he asked. “Wae? Are you going to join me here?” she said. “Just answer me, where are you?” “At the club.” she replied. “Okay. Don’t go anywhere. I’m going there.” with that, the phone call ended.
---
Yunho was driving when he saw Jaejoong running to the club in a hurry. It made him stopped. *Eh? I thought he will having a dinner with Hyerin?* he asked himself.
Suddenly, he saw Jaejoong went out and to his shocked, Boa is on his back. *He’s with Boa? What about Hyerin?* he asked again himself.
---
“It’s already 7:00 pm. Where is he?” you asked Mr. Lee. “He said earlier that he’s on the way, maybe there’s a traffic.” he replied. You nodded in understanding.
1 hour later, Jaejoong still not come. “Um, Mr. Lee can you call him. It’s already 8:00 pm but he’s still not here.” you said. He nodded and started to call Jaejoong.
“I’m sorry but his phone was off.” Mr. Lee replied. “What?! Aish! Okay. I’m going to wait. Maybe he was something urgent need to do.” you still be patient.
An hour had passed again, Jaejoong still not come. Then suddenly, Mr. Lee received a phone call from Jaejoong. “Uh, sir Jaejoong is calling.” he said.
You brightened, “Go answer it.” you ordered as he did.
“Yeoboseyo?” he answered. “Is Hyerin still there?” Jaejoong asked. “Yes sir. Where are you now sir?” “I’m sorry but I don’t think I can come right now. I’m here at Boa’s house and she drunk. I can’t leave her alone. But I’ll be there later. Told her to wait for me.”
You saw Mr. Lee nodded and ended the phone call. “Is he near now?” you asked. Mr. Lee shook his head, “He said, he can’t come.”
“What?! Why?” you asked. “He’s with Miss Boa right now. He said that she’s drunk and can’t leave her alone. But don’t worry, he’s still come here later. Just wait for him.” “What? I’ve already waited for him in 2 hours. Then he just only called now and saying that he was with Boa? I don’t want to wait anymore. I’m going now.” you said and left.
Mr. Lee was trying to call Jaejoong but his phone was off again.
---
As you went out from the restaurant, your tears started to fall from your eyes. *I’ve waited for him in two hours and he.. He just only with Boa? That’s why I didn’t celebrate my birthday because no one want to celebrate it with me. I hate this feeling, my heart hurts.* you said on your mind as your tears continued flowing.
You put your hand on your chest, *I already told you to stopped beating for him. Why did you choose him? He already have Boa. I’m so stupid to love him! Babo Hyerin!* you mentally slapped your head.
CHAPTER 38
When your tears finally stopped, you decided to went back home.
As you reach your apartment, you saw a familiar figure standing at in front of your main door. You walks to him to see his face, it’s Yunho.
“Yunho-ah? What are you doing here?” you asked in confusion. “I’m just worried about you.” he replied. “Wae?” you asked.
“I saw Jaejoong with Boa earlier so I’m just wondering if he still celebrated with you but I this he did right? Since you went home just now.” he said. You didn’t gave him a response and just lowered your head.
“Wait! He didn’t celebrated with you?” he asked. You nodded. “But why you only went home just now?” he asked. “I’ve waited for him but he called his secretary just now that he was with Boa that’s why..” you replied.
He look sad at you. He then check the time on his watch, “We still have time.” he whispered. You look up at him, “Eh?”
“It’s still your birthday. Let’s go and celebrate.” he suggested. “But—” “No buts! Come on!” he snapped and grabbed your hand as he dragged you to the park.
“Why did you dragged me here?” you asked as both of you reach the park. “As I told earlier, we’re going to celebrate your birthday.” he replied.
“Come on! Let’s start exploring the park.” he said. You nodded.
As both of you exploring the park, “You really like exploring huh?” you suddenly asked. He look at you, “How did you know?” he asked. “Last time, we explore the mall right? We did that in 2 times and now here, exploring the park.” you explained.
Yunho smiled at you, “Yeah. I really like. I really enjoyed it. Wae? Are you not enjoying it? Let’s stopped then.” he asked. You quickly shook your head, “No. I love it!” you beamed. “Really?” he asked as you nodded.
“Let’s continue exploring then.” he said. “Okay!” you beamed.
---
“Boa, are you feeling better now?” Jaejoong asked as Boa lightly calm. She nodded.
“What did you do this huh?” he asked. “It’s because of you! I know you still love me, I can feel it but you continue hurting me! Please say to me that you still love me and that you’re just using Hyerin to hurt me.” Boa said.
“What if I say it’s true? Are you going to broke up with Yoochun huh?” he asked. “No. I still need him.” Boa replied.
“I should go now.” Jaejoong whispered. “Wait! Tell me first that you still love me.” she ordered.
Jaejoong look back at her, “No. Hyerin is now my girlfriend and I loved her.” he replied and left.
*I know you still love me. I will everything just you to admit it. Wait for me Jaejoong, I will make you back to me.* Boa evily thought.
---
“Uh, what’s going on there?” you asked as you saw a man doing something like magic. “He’s doing some magic. Come on, let’s watch.” Yunho said and dragged you in front.
The man was great in magic. You were amazed at him and make you smile. Yunho look at you, *Yeah! Keep on smiling. That’s better.* he thought and look back in front.
As the magic show ended, you two started to walk again and stopped on the spot that there’s no one there.
“Let’s sit at the grass.” you suggested. He look surprised at you. You then remembered that he’s coming from a rich family. “Uh.. Let’s just look for a bench to sit.” you suggested.
He shook his head, “No. Let’s just sit on the grass.” he said. You were surprised, “But—” you were cut off when he was already sat on the grass.
You then sat next to him, “It’s dirty but why?” you asked, clueless. “It’s your birthday so let’s do what you want.” he said.
*He’s so kind!* you thought and smiled. “Um, wait me here. I’ll go first.” he said as you nodded. He then left.
30 minutes had passed, Yunho didn’t come back yet. *Is he still coming back or not?* you sighed, *Aish! I really hate my birthday now.* you were about to leave when you heard someone singing happy birthday song.
You look up to see Yunho holding a cake with a candle light on it. “Yunho-ah..” you whispered.
As the song ended, he walks to you. “Happy birthday Hyerin!” he whispered. Your eyes were teary because of the sudden action. You were speechless.
“Make a wish and blow your candle now.” he said. You nodded, *I wish, my feelings for Jaejoong will quickly fade away.* with that, you blowed your candle.
“Happy birthday again.” he said. You bowed, “Gomawo.” you replied. “Let’s have a sit.” he said as both of you sat back on the grass.
“What is your birthday wish?” he suddenly asked. You look at him, do not know what to response. “That a secret.” you said.
He pouted, “Let’s start to eat this then.” he suggested and you nodded.
As both of you eating, fireworks suddenly appeared on the sky. “Woah!” you whispered. “Beautiful right?” you asked. He look at you and nodded, “Yeah. Just like you.” he said.
You look at him surprised, “Eh? What did you said?” you asked. “Do you want to know what my wish for you on your birthday?” he asked. You nodded since you really want to know.
“I wish you found a new job so that you don’t need to pretend to be Jaejoong’s girlfriend.” he replied. You were confused by his wish, “Wae?”
“Because I didn’t want to see you with him.” he replied. “What do you mean?” you asked. “Hyerin-ah, I like you not just a friend but as a woman.” he replied.
*What did he said? He like me as a woman? He’s confessing to me now?* you asked yourself. He waved his hand in front of your face, “Did you hear me?” he asked.
You snapped out all your thoughts. “Um, Yunho-ah.. You’re such a kind-hearted person. Tall and handsome that every girls want to have but why me?” you asked. “Because you’re different.” he replied. “You made my heart going crazy.” he added.
“But my job.. I don’t—” “I’m not asking for your answer now. You can still think of it. I’m willing to wait.” he said. You want to protest but he smiled at you so you just nodded.
“Um, I’m already tired. Can we go now?” you suddenly asked. He nodded, “Okay. I’ll take you home.” he offered as you nodded.
With that, both of you leaved the park.
CHAPTER 39
As you and Yunho reach your apartment, both of you went out from the car and Yunho walk you up to your front door.
To your surprised, Jaejoong was there. “Hyerin-ah!” he runs to you. You look away, don’t want to talk to him.
“Yah! What are you doing here? After you ditch her at her own birthday huh?” Yunho scolded him. “Yah! I didn’t ditch her. I was just—” “With Boa?” Yunho snapped.
“How did you know?” Jaejoong asked. “It’s not important. Hyerin is the one who important now. Today is her birthday. She waited for you but you’re not come. What kind of person are you?” Yunho coldly shouted.
“Yah! Who are you to say that to me huh?” Jaejoong shouted back. You went in between the two, “Yah! Can you please stop it?!” you yelled.
Both of them look down at you and pulled back each other. You then look to Yunho, “Thank you for today. You can go now. I’ll take care of him.” you said.
“But—” “Please..” you pleaded. “Okay. I’ll go ahead now and happy birthday again.” he said. You smiled, “Thanks.”
As Yunho already disappeared, you started to walk to the door. Jaejoong followed you, “Hyerin-ah, are you still mad?” he asked. You look at him, “What do you think?” you gave him a look.
“Yes. I can feel it but I hope you didn’t.” he replied. “Don’t ask me if you already know the answer.” you said as you twist the door knob.
“Wait! Let’s have a talk first.” he said. “I’m already tired.” you replied as you open your door. He then gragged your wrist, “Please don’t be mad at me. Okay. I’m sorry for ditching you but it’s not my purpose.” he explained.
You didn’t give a response. “Okay. Since it’s still your birthday, let’s celebrate!” he suggested. “I already celebrated my birthday with Yunho.” you snapped.
You was about to went in when he suddenly grabbed yoir wrist again.“Yes but not with me. Let’s eat dukbokki then. My treat!” he said. “I’m already full and I’m also tired.” you replied as you remove his hand from your wrist.
With that, you completely in and closed the door.
Jaejoong sighed, *Seems like she really mad at me. Aish! Jaejoong, what have you done to her and on the day of her birthday too.* he then left.
---
Morning came, you woke up early for you to buy a food since you didn’t have any on your refrigerator.
You were shocked when you saw Jaejoong standing in front of your door as you open it. “Good Morning!” he greeted.
You ignored him and passed by. He followed you, “Where are you going?” he asked. “None of your business!” you replied in annoyance as you continue walking. As you reach the Grocery Store, Jaejoong was still following you and continue asking a question but you didn’t give him a good answer.
Until you payed your bills, Jaejoong continue to follow you. You gave him a look, “Yah! Can you please stop following me?!” you shouted as both of you went out from the store.
“Not until you go with me.” he said. “What?! No way!” you said.
You then shocked to his next action. Jaejoong kneeled down in front of you. The attention of people around turns to the two of you.
You look down at him, “Yah! What are you doing? They’re all staring at us. Stand up now!” you ordered. He shook his head.
Jaejoong look around, “Everyone, can you please help me to make my girlfriend go with me?! I just want to celebrate her birthday even it’s already late.” he said. Your eyes widen, “Yah! Stop it. It’s embarassing..” you whispered.
“Woah! His boyfriend is so sweet!” “How I wish I have a boyfriend like that. Who want to celebrate my birthday even if it’s already late.” “Agreed and go with him!” “Go with him!” “Go with him!” “Go with him!” people continue chanting.
Jaejoong look up to you, “What’s your answer?” he asked. You sighed, “Okay I’ll go with you.” you replied.
He smiled and finally stand up, “My girlfriend is now going with me. Thanks to all of you.” he then grabbed your hand and dragged you to the Food Stand.
“Eh? What’s happening here?” you asked when you saw many balloons at the Stand and also did’t have any customer.
Suddenly, the ahjumma went out. “Happy birthday Hyerin!” she greeted. “But my birthday is yesterday.” you said.
“I know but your boyfriend rented my Stand to have a late celebration for your birthday. You’re so lucky to have him.” she explained. You turn to look at Jaejoong as he smiling at you.
“Have a sit.” he said as he dragged you to sit. “Ahjumma, bring out the dukbokki now.” he ordered. “Okay.” she replied and went in.
As the ahjumma came back, she was holding a big plate of dukbokki. “Go eat this.” he said. “Dukbokki for my birthday?” you asked in confusion.
“Yeah! I want your birthday will be different. I want this to be memorable to you. Since dukbokki is your favorite, it’s okay right?” he asked. You nodded.
“Okay then. I’m going to sing while you were eating.” he said. “You’re going to sing?” you asked. He nodded, “I’m going to dance also. Ahjumma, microphone please.” he said. The ahjumma nodded and handed him the microphone.
He took it, “Go start to eat.” he said as you did. He then started to sing a sweet song. *Woah! His voice was amazing!* you thought as you were watching him.
Suddenly, he started to dance while singing. *Woah! Even his moves was so perfect!* you thought.
You then saw him winked at you. A smile went up to your face. Your heart starting to beat so fast again. *Now, I know why my heart is like this. Beause he was so perfect for not to be love. Boa was very lucky.* you sadly thought.
Jaejoong saw your reaction so he changed the song into happy one and do anfunny dance. You then burst into laughter. *Yeah! Just continue laughing. I love the way you laugh.* he thought as he continue what he was doing.
He sat in front of you as he finished his performance. You also finished your dukbokki. “How’s my performance?” he asked. “Great!” you replied.
“Are we going now?” you asked. He shook his head, “Not yet. Wait here.” he stoop up went to ahjumma.
As he came back, he was holding a cake with a candle light on the center. Jaejoong started to sing a happy birthday song as he slowly walking to you. “Belated happy birthday Hyerin! I’m sorry for ditching you yesterday.” he said.
“Go make a wish and blow your candle.” he said. “But i already make a wish.” you said. “Just blow your candle then.” he said as you nodded and did what he said.
As you finally blowed your candle, Jaejoong quickly put some cream on your face. “Yah!” you shouted. He just smiled at you. You then put a cream on his face also. “Yah!” he shouted also. Both of you burst into laughter.
Suddenly, the ahjumme went out. You and Jaejoong look at each other and nodded as a signal. Both of you then runs to ahjumma and put soke cream on her face. “Yah! Both of you!” she protested. Both you and Jaejoong just laugh.
*I admit! This celebration is better than yesterday with Yunho.* you thought.
CHAPTER 40
Jaejoong walks you to your apartment. You bowed, “Thank you for thae celebration even though it’s late.” you said.
“No problem.” he replied. “I’m going in now.” you said. “I want to go inside.” he said.
“Eh? Wae?” you asked. “I just want to take some rest.” he replied.
You nodded in understanding.
Both of you went inside your apartment. As both of you sat on the couch, you received a text message from Yunho.
to: Hyerin
Annyeong Hyerin! How’s your day? Me? Bad, because I didn’t see you. It’s better right since you’re still thinking about my confession? By the way, Good night and sweet dreams~
from: Yunho
*Uh yeah! I forgot that he confessed to me yesterday.* you sighed. “What’s that sigh for? And who is the one who texted you?” Jaejoong suddenly asked as he study your face.
You look at him, “Uh, it’s Yunho.” you replied. Jaejoong’s mood changed when he heard that name. “What did he said?” he asked, curious.
“It’s nothing.” you replied. “Nothing for you to sigh huh?” he said.
You then seriously look at him, “Um.. Actually, yesterday when I and Yunho celebrated my birthday... Um..” “What?” Jaejoong was very curious now.
“..Yunho confessed his love to me.” you finally said. *Yunho already confessed to her. Yunho is kind but why am I not happy? No matter what, I need to be happy for her.* he thought. You study his face, waiting for his reaction.
Suddenly, he cleared his throat, “It’s good then. Yunho is kind and also my friend. And I think both of you looks good together.” he said and forced a smile.
You look away, disappointed, “Uh-oh.” you whispered. “I should go now. It’s already late.” he said as he stood up. You look up at him and just nodded. You didn’t walk him out and just watch him leave.
As Jaejoong finally leave, he put his hand on his chest, *Why do I feel hurt? Aish! I don’t like this feeling.* he thought and went home.
As he already arrived at his house, he went straight to his room and take a sleep already. But he couldn’t. He still thinking about what you said earlier.
“Ahhhhh!!! I can’t sleep!!! Why you keep crossing on my mind?!” he screamed.
He then sat up, *What if she accept him?* he thought.
Suddenly, he shook his head to snapped out his thought. He then laid down again, “Ahhhh!!!! Why do I feel like I’m heart broken or something!!!! This feeling is so weird!! I hate it!!” he screamed as he buried his face on his pillow.
---
You laid on your bed and sighed. *What I’m expecting? Of course he didn’t protest. I’m just his HIRED girlfriend. Aside of that, nothing more!* your heart crushed for your sudden thought.
You tried to sleep but couldn’t. “Ahhhh!!! Please stop thinking of him! He didn’t love you!! Don’t be stupid!!” you screamed as your tears starting to fall from your eyes.
Next day, you received a text message from Jaejoong.
to: Hyerin
Go to my office now. I’m giving your salary today.
from: Boss Jaejoong
*Yeah. He’s giving my salary.* you must be happy that he’s going to give your salary but it’s different. After the kiss on the vacation, you became uneasy with him. You now created a feelings towards him. *Why is this so hard?* you sighed but texted him back.
to: Boss Jaejoong
Okay. I’ll be there in an hour.
from: Hyerin
You then prepared yourself and went to his office.
---
“Um, I’m looking for Jaejoong.” you said to the lady who passed by as you reach his Work Place.
Suddenly, Mr. Lee appeared and saw you. “Uh, Ms. Hyerin right?” he asked. You look at him, “Ne.” you bowed.
“What brings you here Miss?” he asked. “I’m looking for Jaejoong.” you replied. Mr. Lee at the lady, “You can go now.” he said as the lady left.
“This way Miss.” he led the way. You nodded and followed him.
As you two reach the main door of Jaejoong’s office, you bowed again to Mr. Lee, “Thank you.” you said. “No problem Miss.” “No need to be formal.” you said. “Just call me Hyerin.” you added. “Okay, Hyerin.” he said as you smiled.
He then opened the door and led you inside. “Sir, Hyerin is here looking for you.” Mr. Lee bowed. Jaejoong look up, “Okay. Um, Mr. Lee.. can you get my documents on my office at my house?” he asked. “Yes sir.” he bowed again and left.
You sat on the couch. “Where’s my salary now?” you asked. “Don’t be so hurry. Don’t worry I’m going to give it. Just wait me to finished this.” he make an excused but he really want you to stayed with some more time.
You pouted. “Aish!” He just smiled went back on what he was doing.
---
Yunho went to Jaejoong’s Work Place to have a talk. Since Mr. Lee not around and he also know where Jaejoong’s office is, he walks straight there.
When he was about to opened the door, he heard a familiar voice of yours. *Hyerin?* he wondered.
He then lean his ears on the door to hear what you two are talking about. Until he heard you say, “Where’s my salary now?”
*Salary?* he was confused so he continued hearing what you two were talking about. This time Jaejoong the one who spoke, “I’m your Boss and you’re just my hired girlfriend so you better wait for your salary.”
Yunho’s eyes widen in shocked. *Did Jaejoong said, Hyerin is just his HIRED girlfriend?* he thought and slowly stand straight.
You on the other hand still forcing Jaejoong to give your salary. “Yah! If you didn’t gave my salary right now, I don’t have choice but to tickled you.” you warned. Jaejoong look at you in horror, “No.” he said.
“Then give my salary now.” you said. “Aish! Araseo.” he pulled out his wallet and get the money and handed it to you, “Here..”
You walks to him and took it, “Only 100,000 won? It’s not fair! I worked so hard on that vacation so you need to give me a bonus.” you said.
He rolled his eyes but get some more money on his wallet. “Here.. Happy?” he handed you 50,000 won. You amiled and took it, “Of course I do!” you said. “I’m going now.” you added an left.
Yunho can hear your foot step so he quickly hide beside the wall. You were happily went out from Jaejoong’s office but when the time you turn on the right for the elevator’s direction, you froze to see Yunho standing there.
“Uh-oh.. Yunho-ah..” you gasped. “W-What are you doing here?” you askes, nervous. “You, what are you doing here?” he asked. “Me? T-To v-visit my boyfriend of course!” you nervously laugh. “Really?” he remained serious.
“Of course! What will be the other reason for me to come here?” you asked. “Maybe because of your salary?” he give you a hint.
You stunned by his words. You couldn’t say any word to gave him a response. “I already heard all. You don’t need to act in front of me. You’re just his hired girlfriend right?” he asked. You then quickly put your hand on his mouth, “Don’t say it again. Jaejoong gonna fire me if he knows that you already knew.” you said. “Let’s talk about it to the other place not here.” you added as you removed your hand from his mouth.
He nodded, “Okay let’s go!” With that, you two ride the elevator and went to the near Coffee Shop.
---
“What was all you heard?” you suddenly asked as you two reach the Coffee Shop. “All. Even about your salary.” he replied.
Your shoulder fell as you heard what he said. “So.. you really heard.” you bowed your head.
He nodded, “Why did you agreed to be his hired girlfriend?” he suddenly asked. “I didn’t have any job and Jaejoong is the only one who help me to earn money.” you replied.
“But this secret will revealed soon.” he warned. “Yes, I know. But all I need to do is to make Boa jealous and make her back to Jaejoong. That’s my goal.” you said. “He still loves Boa?” he asked.
You nodded, “So please don’t say about this to anyone. I really need this job. I know I already ask you a favor on the vacation but now I’m asking you again a favor. Can you keep this for me?” you asked.
He sighed, “Okay but you to go out with me tomorrow.” he said. “Go out with you tomorrow?” you repeated.
He nodded, “Yes. Just go out with me and I’ll keep your secret.” he said. You paused for a while then suddenly nodded. “Okay I’ll go with you tomorrow.” you don’t have any choice.
He smiled, “So.. I’ll see you tomorrow.” he said. “Okay. So I need to go now.” you said and left.
*At least I now know that she’s still free.* a smile formed on his face.
CHAPTER 32
At night, you received a phone call from Jaejoong. *Eh? Why is he calling me now?* you thought.
You then pulled out your hand phone and pressed the ‘answer’ button. “Yeoboseyo?” you answered. “What did you called?” you suddenly asked. “Are you free tomorrow?” he asked.
*Why is he asking me that kind of question?* you thought. “Yes. Wae?” you asked. “Let’s go out tomorrow.” he said.
You was about to accept his offer when you remembered about yoir conversation with Yunho earlier. “Uh, I forgot! I have a plan for tomorrow.” you replied.
“What? Where?” he asked. “I’m going out with a friend.” you said. “You have a friend?” he asked.
“Of course I do have!” you said. “Then cancel it.” he said. “What? No! I can’t” you replied.
“Wae? Who was your friend that you’re going to meet up tomorrow?” he asked. “You didn’t know him so stop asking me.” you replied.
“Him? Your friend is a guy?” he asked, curious. “Yes. Uh-oh.. My battery gonna die now. Bye!” you then quickly hand up and off your phone.
“Yah—” Jaejoong want to say something to you but you already hang up. “Aish! That girl!” he then laid on the bed.
*I wonder who’s her guy friend that her gonna meet up tomorrow.* he thought as he closed his eyes.
---
Morning came, you received a message from Yunho.
to: Hyerin
Are you ready? I’m going to fetch you in an hour.
from: Yunho
*Eh? He’s going to fetch me?* you then texted him back.
to: Yunho
No need to fetch me. Let’s just meet at the mall.
from: Hyerin
Yunho texted you back also,
to: Hyerin
Okay. Let’s see each other at the mall then.
from: Yunho
You then prepared yourself and went out after that. For your surprised, you saw Jaejoong at the front door.
“What are you doing here?” you suddenly asked. “I’ll go with you.” he replied.
You quickly shook your head, “No. You can’t!” you said. “Wae?” he asked. “Because..” “Because?” he’s waiting for your answer.
“Because I don’t want to.” you said. “Are you hiding something from me huh?!” he asked. You nervously laugh, “Of course not! Just go home now so I can go also.” you said as you started to walk. He followed you.
“Yah! Stop following me!” you shouted. “I already told you that I’ll go with you.” he said. “I already told you also that you can’t.” you said.
“Whatever! I still go with you.” he said. You rolled your eyes, “Aish!”
“Uh, Is that Boa?” you pointed as his back. He turns to his back, “Where?” Then you take this a chance and started to run. He then look back in front only to see you running away. *What? She just trick me? Aish!* he want to run after you but you suddenly disappeared on his sight.
CHAPTER 33
You were still running until you reach the mall. You saw Yunho at main door at the mall and you quickly dragged him to go inside.
“Wae? What’s happening?” Yunho asked in confusion. “Jaejoong wasso curious about who’s I’m gonna meet today so we better go t the theater now.” you said.
He nodded, “Uh yeah. Come on!” he replied as you two started to walks to the theater place.
Yunho quickly buy two tickets as you reach the theater place. This time, he choose a comedy movie since you got scared last time at the horror movie.
You just laugh the whole time at the theater brcause of the movie that you watched. Yunho laugh along and was very happy that you’re now enjoyed the movie.
As the movie ended, you two went out. “That was very funny.” you beamed. “Yeah unlike the last time right?” he teased. You pouted.
“Okay! Let’s eat.” he suggested. You nodded, “Yeah!”
You two started to eat as you two reach the restaurant and as your order already served. You finished your food so fast as always. Yunho didn’t shocked anymore since he already knew your hubby when it comes to food. He just smiled at you.
After you two eat, you two started to walk around the mall like you do last time. When the time getting late, you two decided to went back home.
Yunho offered you to take you home as you accept it.
As Yunho’s car stopped at your place, you two went out from the car and Yunho walks you to your front door.
To your surprised, Jaejoong was there, waiting for you. Jaejoong looks at you and frowned when he saw Yunho next to you. “You meet up with Yunho?” he coldly asked.
You then walks to him, “I’ll talk to you inside.” you said. “No. Tell it to me right now.” he ordered. “But—” “I said tell it to me right now!” he said in a bit a high voice that made you jump a little.
“I’m going to explain.” Yunho suddenly said. You shook your head at him to gave hima signal not to tell him taht he already knew.
“Yeah right! You’re the one who need to explain this. So.. Why are you with my girlfriend?” Jaejoong coldly asked.
“No need to act in front of me.” Yunho said. You shook your head to stopped him.
“What?!” Jaejoong gasped. “I already know the truth. Hyerin is just you HIRED girlfriend right?” he emphasized the word ‘hired’. You just closed your eyes when you heard what was Yunho said.
Jaejoong gave you a look, “You told him?” he asked. You shook your head, “No!” you snapped.
“She didn’t tell me anything. I just heard it at your Work Place yesterday.” Yunho said. “Yesterday?” Jaejoong asked.
Yunho nodded, “Yes. When Hyerin was asking about her salary.” he said. Jaejoong look at you. You nodded to gave him a signal that Yunho’s said was right.
Jaejoong then look back at Yunho, “Okay. I’m now satisfied at your explanation. So can you please leave us alone to have talk?” he asked. Yunho look at you in concerned. You nodded, ‘I’m okay.’ you mouthed.
“Okay. I’ll go ahead now.” Yunho said and left. Jaejoong look at you, “Let's talk inside.” he ordered as you two went in. You two sat on the couch.
“So Yunho now knew about our secret.” Jaejoong whispered. “What if he tell this to everyone?” he asked, worried.
“Don’t worry, he won’t.” you replied. “How can you sure?” he asked again.
You then told him about your conversation with him yesterday, about his condition for him to keep the secret.
“So.. That’s why you’re with him today and you didn’t told me who is you’re going to meet up?” he asked as you nodded.
He sighed, “Now that Yunho knew about our secret, we just need to trust him that he will not tell this to anyone.” he said. “Yeah, I guess.” you nodded.
“I’m going now.” Jaejoong whispered. “Okay. I’ll walk you out.” you offered as he nodded.
You then walk him to the door. “Be careful on your way.” you said. “Okay.” with that, he left as you went in and closed the door.
CHAPTER 34
Next day, you were busy watching TV when you heard a sudden knock coming from the front door.
You look up, *Aish! I don’t want to accept visitors today. I just want to take some rest since my past days was very tiring.* you sighed and walks to the door and open it.
Yunho was the one who are standing at your front door. “Uh, Yunho-ah..” you said.
“Annyeong!” he said as he waved his right hand with a wide smile on his face. “What are you doing here?” you suddenly asked.
“Wae? Can’t I visit my friend?” he asked. You then shook your head, “No. I’m just surprised with your sudden visit. You didn’t even call me or text me before you could have a visit.” you explained.
“Let’s just called this a surprised then.” he said as he smiled. You just smiled back, “Come on in.” you led the way as he followed. “Have a sit. I’m going to get a tea.” yoi said as Yunho sat on the couch and you went to kitchen.
As you come back, you was holding a cup of tea and handed it to Yunho. He warmly took it from you.
You were about to sit also when you heard a sudden knock again. *Eh? Who is it now?* you tirely thought. You then look down to Yunho, “Just wait here. I’m going to check the door.” you said as he nodded.
You walks to the door and open it only to see Jaejoong standing there. Your eyes widen in horror. You then look t your back and lightly closed the door. “What are you doing here?” you whispred. “Wae? Is your Boss can’t visit you huh?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.
*Yes, you can but not on this kind of situation. Yunho is also here, I can’t handle you two.* you thought. “Hey! Let’s just go inside okay.” he started to walks forward to your apartment but you quickly stopped him, “No. You can’t!”
He frowned at you. “Because my house is still messy.” you lied. “It’s okay.” he replied and started to walks forward again but you stopped him on the 2nd time. “No.” you snapped.
He frowned in confusion again, “What’s with you huh?”
You were about to gave him an explanation again when you heard Yunho said, “Hyerin-ah, who is it?” he asked were he was inside your apartment. You just closed your eyes, *I’m so dead!* you thought.
Jaejoong raised an eyebrow to you, “Who’s that?” he asked. “Nothing!” you quickly replied. “No. That voice is sounds familiar. I want to check.” he then quickly went inside your apartment that you didn’t stopped him anymore because of the sudden quick.
You runs to him, trying to stopped but he already saw Yunho. “Yunho?” he look at you. You just lowered your head.
“Uh, Jaejoong! What are you doing here?” Yunho asked. Jaejoong look at him, “You, what are you doing here?” he asked. “I’m visiting my friend.” Yunho replied. “You?” Yunho asked back again. “I’m also visiting my worker.” Jaejoong replied.
Jaejoong and Yunho looking to each other with a cold eyes. The atmosphere become different. You could feel it.
You then suddenly spoke to break the eye contact contest between him, “Okay. You two please sit while I’m prearing the lunch.” you said.
“I’ll go help you.” Yunho offered. “No. I’m going to help you.” Jaejoong said. Yunho look at him, “You can’t! You didn’t know that kind of thing right?” he said. “Yes, he was right! You just sit here while me and Yunho preparing the food.” you said as you and Yunho went to the kitchen to prepared the food.
Jaejoong rolled his eyes and just sat on the couch. *Aish! He was really annoyed me!* Jaejoong thought.
---
“The lunch is ready!” you called for Jaejoong to heard and come there. Jaejoong then went to the dining area.
The 3 of you started to eat as you and Yunho talking about the taste of the food. Jaejoong was now out of place so that he just eat silently.
As the 3 of you finished the lunch, you 3 went back to the living room.
“Let’s a watch a movie!” you suggested. “Okay!” Yunho agreed. Jaejoong rolles his eyes, “Let’s watch a horror movie.” he said.
You and Yunho look at each other. “No. Let’s just watch a comedy.” Yunho protested. You smiled at him for helping you, “Okay. Let’s watch a comedy!” you beamed as you get a comedy movie. Jaejoong rolled his eyes again, *I’m now pissed off!*
As the movie started, you and Yunho were laughing because of the movie as Jaejoong just watch you two being close to each other. *If he’s not my friend, I already punch him for sure!* Jaejoong thought.
---
“That was so funny!” you beamed as the moviee ended. “Yeah, right!” Yunho agreed. “That was bored!” Jaejoong suddenly whispered. You gave him a look.
You then take a look at the watch, it’s already 7:00 pm. “Uh, it’s already dark outside. I think it’s the time for you two to leave. I hope you’ll understand.” you said.
“Of course we will, right Jaejoong?” Yunho asked. Jaejoong just rolled his eyes. You gave him a look. “Aish! Araseo. We’ll going to leave now.”
You lead them to the front door. “Thanks for the visit.” you bowed. “No problem.” Yunho replied. You smiled at him then turns to Jaejoong. “Uh, yeah. No problem.” he said. “Let’s leave now Yunho.” Jaejoong said as Yunho nodded.
You then close your door as they started to leave. You suddenly started to prepared your dinner but then you heard a knock from your door.
CHAPTER 35
You suddenly stopped on what you were doing because od the sudden knock. *Who is it this time?* you thought as you walks to the door and open it.
To your surprised, it was Jaejoong again. “Yah—” you want to yelled at him but he quickly dragged you inside and closed the door.
“Yah! Why are you still here?” you then asked. “Wae? Can’t I?” he just replied as he walks to the kitchen. You followed him, “Yes. You can’t! It’s already dark, you need to go home now.” you said.
“Later.” he replied. “No. Just go now!” you protested. He ignored you then, “Uh, you’re cooking dinner! I should wait for it.” he beamed.
“What?! No way!” you shouted. “You don’t have choice.” he smirked. You rolled your eyes as you continued preparing the food.
---
“Woah! They all looks delicious!” Jaejoong beamed as you finished. You rolled your eyes again on him. “Let’s start to eat now.” Jaejoong suggested.
“Psh!” you whispered but started to eat as Jaejoong also.
---
“Since you already eat dinner here, so I think you can go now?” you asked. He shook his head, “Later.” he said. You rolled your eyes on him once more.
You then look at the window, “Eh? It’s raining.” you whispered. Jaejoong look at you, “Raining?” he asked.
You nodded, “Yes and it seems like it will become a heavy rain or typhoon?” you replied. “I think you really need to leave now before the rain became heavy.” you suggested.
But Jaejoong shook his head again, “Sirrheo!” he said. You then walks to him and tried to stand him up, “Go now!” you ordered as he finally stand up. “Why you always want me to leave but you let Yunho to stayed here huh?” he said.
“What?!” you gasped. “Nothing! I’ll go ahead now.” he was about to leave when suddenly the atmosphere become dark.
“What happen?” you suddenly asked. “I think there’s a black-out because of the rain.” Jaejoong replied. *Oh no! Not now.* you thought since you’re afraid in the dark especially when it’s raining.
“I’m going now.” Jaejoong said. “No!” you snapped. “What?!” he asked in confusion.
“Where are you? I’m scared.” you said, trembling as you froze on you spot. He laugh, “What? You? Scared? You can’t fool me!” he didn’t believed you at first but you were remained silent.
“Hyerin? Are you still there?” he suddenly asked. “Y-Yes. W-Where are y-you?” you nervously asked.
He could now feel that you’re really scared. “I’m just here.” he said as he walks to you. You then quickly hold his arm.
“Do you have a lamp here?” he asked. “Yes, there at the kitchen.” you nervously replied. “Okay. Just wait here. I’ll go get it.” he was about to leave when you quickly hug him because of a sudden lightning came. “Don’t leave me.” you whispered.
He look at you surprised, “Okay. Hold my hand so I can lead the way.” he pulled out his hand and you took it. “Don’t worry. I won’t leave you.” he whispered as you nodded.
“Come on!” he said as you two started to walk.
---
“There! I found it!” Jaejoong said as he found the lamp. He quickly lighten it up. That time, he can now see your face. Your eyes were teary.
“Are you okay?” he asked. You shook your head. “Okay. I’ll stay until the light came back.” he said. You just nodded.
“Come on! You need to sleep now.” he said as you nodded. You two walk to your room as you were holding his arm.
---
“Go sleep now. I’ll just say here.” he said as you laid down on your bed and he sat on the chair, a bit far from your bed.
Suddenly, a loud sound of lightning came again. You screamed, scared. Jaejoong quickly runs to you, “Gwenchana?” he asked.
You shook your head as you hug his arm. “I’ll stay here by your side. No need to be scared now.” he tried to alm you. You nodded.
Then another lightning came again. You couldn’t help but to screamed again and hug his body.
Jaejoong then laid next to you for you to calm. You’re still hugging him. “Don’t worry, I’m still on your side.” he whispered on your ears.
A lightning came one more time. You hugged him more tight this time. For you to get more calm, he hugs you back and gently stroke your hair. “Go sleep now. Don’t mind the lightning.” he whispered.
You nodded then suddenly, you fell asleep with his warm embrace. You feel better with his arms. Jaejoong stared at your sleeping face.
A smiled went up to his face. *You’re so cute when you’re scared.*
Soon, Jaejoong also fall asleep.
CHAPTER 36
As the sun finally rise, your eyes slowly open. The first thing you saw is the sight of Jaejoong’s face. *What is he doing here?* you thought.
But then you remembered what happened last night. A smile went up to your face, *He really did stayed.* you happily thought.
You suddenly realized that you were hugging each other but you didn’t mind it and continued hugging him. You stared at his handsome face. You were enjoying the view.
Until, Jaejoong’s eyes slowly open. He caught you staring at him. You froze on your spot and didn’t take off your eyes on him. You want to look away but your eyes are glued on him. He also didn’t move instead he just stared back.
Both of you staring to each other for a while until Jaejoong’s eyes turns down to your lips and started to lean in towards you. You just watch him, waiting for his lips to met yours.
When the diatance between you two was only inch, your alarm clock suddenly rang. Both of you quickly look away because of the sudden sound.
You then quickly sat up and off your alarm clock. “I’ll go wash my face.” you said and quickly run to the bathroom. Jaejoong just rubbed the back of his neck.
---
“That was so close!” you whispered as you went inside the bathroom. You then wash your red face.
You look at the mirror and lightly slapped your cheeks, “Hyerin, you need to stop liking him now. He can love you back. Boa is only the one at his heart.” you whispered.
You then put your hand to your chest. *Why are you beating so fast for him? Can you please stop? I don’t want to get hurt.* you said on your mind.
---
Jaejoong look around at your room. *So.. I fall asleep here.* he thought. He walk around to your room and his attention turns to your calendar. There’s a red mark on the 30th of December and there’s something written on it. He lean in to read the small font that written on it. ‘My bithday’, that’s the one that were written. *Eh? If I didn’t mistake today is 29 so that means... tomorrow is her birthday?* his eyes widen on his thought.
Suddenly, you went out from your bathroom. “You go wash your face and I’ll go preparing breakfast.” you said as he nodded.
Jaejoong went to your bathroom to wash his face as you went to the kitchen to prepare the breakfast.
---
“Breakfast is ready.” you said as you finished preparing. Jaejoong went to the dining room. Then both of you started to eat.
“What are you planning to do tomorrow?” he suddenly asked. “Tomorrow? Nothing!” you replied.
“You didn’t have any plan for your birthday?” he asked. “Eh? Uh yeah! I forgot that my birthday is tomorrow.” you whispered. “But how did you know?” you asked him in confusion.
“I saw on your calendar at your room.” he replied. You nodded in understanding. “So.. what’s your plan?” he asked again. You shook your hand, “Nothing! I didn’t celebrate my birthday for years.” you replied.
“What?! That’s your day so you need to celebrate it.” he said. “No need for that but if you want just give me a gift.” you said.
He rolled his eyes, “You wish!” he said. You pouted.
---
“I’m going now.” Jaejoong said as you two finished the breakfast. “Okay. By the way, thanks for staying here last night. I’m sorry for my sudden action last night, I was just scared at that time.” you said. He shook his head, “No. It’s okay. I’m leaving now.” he said.
“Okay. Annyeong!” you waved. He just nodded and left.
---
Next morning, you received a message from Jaejoong.
to : Hyerin
Happy Birthday Hyerin! Prepared yourself, we’re going to cekebrate your birthday later at 7:00 pm. Mr. Lee will going to fetch you and bring you to the place. See you :)
from: Boss Jaejoong
A smiled went up to your face. *We’re going to celebrate my birthday. I’m so excited!*
CHAPTER 37
After you received a message from Jaejoong, you then received a phone call coming from Yunho.
“Yeoboseyo?” you answered. “Good morning Hyerin!” he greeted.
“Uh.. Good morning. What did you called?” you asked. “Uh.. about that, I just want to ask if you’re free tonight?” he asked.
“Tonight?” you repeated. “Yes. I just want to have a dinner with you.” he replied.
“Yunho-ah, I’m sorry but I already have plan tonight.” you said. “Are you alone?” he asked.
“No. I’m with Jaejoong.” you replied. “Eh? Is there something special today?” he asked, curious. “Um.. Actually, today is my birthday and Jaejoong prepared a celebration for it.” you replied.
“Today is your birthday?” he repeated. “Yes.” you replied. “Uh-oh, I’m sorry and happy birthday.” “No. It’s okay and thank you.”
“So.. Maybe next time?” he asked. “Okay.” you forcely replied.
With that, the phone call ended.
---
When the time stopped at 6:30, Mr. Lee came at your apartment to fetch you.
Both of you arrived at the restaurant at 6:45. “Where’s Jaejoong?” you suddenly asked Mr. Lee. “He’s on the way now.” Mr. Lee replied.
You nodded in understanding. “Have a sit first Hyerin.” he said as you nodded again and sat on the chair.
You saw a table with 3 candle lights at the center and a boquet of flowers. There are also 3 man holding a violin. The set up was very perfect. *Woah! This was so perfect! I’m very excited to thank him.* you thought.
---
Jaejoong was on the way when he received a phone call from Boa. *Why is she calling me now?* he asked himself. He just ingnored the call but it rings so many times.
He was really annoyed now so he answered it instead. “Why are you calling?” Jaejoong quickly asked. No response. “Yah! Did you hear me?!” he was really annoyed.
Jaejoong was about to end the call when Boa finally spoke, “Jaejoong-ah, what have you done to me?” she said with a husky voice. “Yah! What happen to you?” he asked.
“Wae? Are you cared to me now?” she asked and laugh like crazy. “Wait! Are you drunk?” he asked. “What if I am? You don’t care right? I want to die now!” she said as she started to cry.
“Where are you?” he asked. “Wae? Are you going to join me here?” she said. “Just answer me, where are you?” “At the club.” she replied. “Okay. Don’t go anywhere. I’m going there.” with that, the phone call ended.
---
Yunho was driving when he saw Jaejoong running to the club in a hurry. It made him stopped. *Eh? I thought he will having a dinner with Hyerin?* he asked himself.
Suddenly, he saw Jaejoong went out and to his shocked, Boa is on his back. *He’s with Boa? What about Hyerin?* he asked again himself.
---
“It’s already 7:00 pm. Where is he?” you asked Mr. Lee. “He said earlier that he’s on the way, maybe there’s a traffic.” he replied. You nodded in understanding.
1 hour later, Jaejoong still not come. “Um, Mr. Lee can you call him. It’s already 8:00 pm but he’s still not here.” you said. He nodded and started to call Jaejoong.
“I’m sorry but his phone was off.” Mr. Lee replied. “What?! Aish! Okay. I’m going to wait. Maybe he was something urgent need to do.” you still be patient.
An hour had passed again, Jaejoong still not come. Then suddenly, Mr. Lee received a phone call from Jaejoong. “Uh, sir Jaejoong is calling.” he said.
You brightened, “Go answer it.” you ordered as he did.
“Yeoboseyo?” he answered. “Is Hyerin still there?” Jaejoong asked. “Yes sir. Where are you now sir?” “I’m sorry but I don’t think I can come right now. I’m here at Boa’s house and she drunk. I can’t leave her alone. But I’ll be there later. Told her to wait for me.”
You saw Mr. Lee nodded and ended the phone call. “Is he near now?” you asked. Mr. Lee shook his head, “He said, he can’t come.”
“What?! Why?” you asked. “He’s with Miss Boa right now. He said that she’s drunk and can’t leave her alone. But don’t worry, he’s still come here later. Just wait for him.” “What? I’ve already waited for him in 2 hours. Then he just only called now and saying that he was with Boa? I don’t want to wait anymore. I’m going now.” you said and left.
Mr. Lee was trying to call Jaejoong but his phone was off again.
---
As you went out from the restaurant, your tears started to fall from your eyes. *I’ve waited for him in two hours and he.. He just only with Boa? That’s why I didn’t celebrate my birthday because no one want to celebrate it with me. I hate this feeling, my heart hurts.* you said on your mind as your tears continued flowing.
You put your hand on your chest, *I already told you to stopped beating for him. Why did you choose him? He already have Boa. I’m so stupid to love him! Babo Hyerin!* you mentally slapped your head.
CHAPTER 38
When your tears finally stopped, you decided to went back home.
As you reach your apartment, you saw a familiar figure standing at in front of your main door. You walks to him to see his face, it’s Yunho.
“Yunho-ah? What are you doing here?” you asked in confusion. “I’m just worried about you.” he replied. “Wae?” you asked.
“I saw Jaejoong with Boa earlier so I’m just wondering if he still celebrated with you but I this he did right? Since you went home just now.” he said. You didn’t gave him a response and just lowered your head.
“Wait! He didn’t celebrated with you?” he asked. You nodded. “But why you only went home just now?” he asked. “I’ve waited for him but he called his secretary just now that he was with Boa that’s why..” you replied.
He look sad at you. He then check the time on his watch, “We still have time.” he whispered. You look up at him, “Eh?”
“It’s still your birthday. Let’s go and celebrate.” he suggested. “But—” “No buts! Come on!” he snapped and grabbed your hand as he dragged you to the park.
“Why did you dragged me here?” you asked as both of you reach the park. “As I told earlier, we’re going to celebrate your birthday.” he replied.
“Come on! Let’s start exploring the park.” he said. You nodded.
As both of you exploring the park, “You really like exploring huh?” you suddenly asked. He look at you, “How did you know?” he asked. “Last time, we explore the mall right? We did that in 2 times and now here, exploring the park.” you explained.
Yunho smiled at you, “Yeah. I really like. I really enjoyed it. Wae? Are you not enjoying it? Let’s stopped then.” he asked. You quickly shook your head, “No. I love it!” you beamed. “Really?” he asked as you nodded.
“Let’s continue exploring then.” he said. “Okay!” you beamed.
---
“Boa, are you feeling better now?” Jaejoong asked as Boa lightly calm. She nodded.
“What did you do this huh?” he asked. “It’s because of you! I know you still love me, I can feel it but you continue hurting me! Please say to me that you still love me and that you’re just using Hyerin to hurt me.” Boa said.
“What if I say it’s true? Are you going to broke up with Yoochun huh?” he asked. “No. I still need him.” Boa replied.
“I should go now.” Jaejoong whispered. “Wait! Tell me first that you still love me.” she ordered.
Jaejoong look back at her, “No. Hyerin is now my girlfriend and I loved her.” he replied and left.
*I know you still love me. I will everything just you to admit it. Wait for me Jaejoong, I will make you back to me.* Boa evily thought.
---
“Uh, what’s going on there?” you asked as you saw a man doing something like magic. “He’s doing some magic. Come on, let’s watch.” Yunho said and dragged you in front.
The man was great in magic. You were amazed at him and make you smile. Yunho look at you, *Yeah! Keep on smiling. That’s better.* he thought and look back in front.
As the magic show ended, you two started to walk again and stopped on the spot that there’s no one there.
“Let’s sit at the grass.” you suggested. He look surprised at you. You then remembered that he’s coming from a rich family. “Uh.. Let’s just look for a bench to sit.” you suggested.
He shook his head, “No. Let’s just sit on the grass.” he said. You were surprised, “But—” you were cut off when he was already sat on the grass.
You then sat next to him, “It’s dirty but why?” you asked, clueless. “It’s your birthday so let’s do what you want.” he said.
*He’s so kind!* you thought and smiled. “Um, wait me here. I’ll go first.” he said as you nodded. He then left.
30 minutes had passed, Yunho didn’t come back yet. *Is he still coming back or not?* you sighed, *Aish! I really hate my birthday now.* you were about to leave when you heard someone singing happy birthday song.
You look up to see Yunho holding a cake with a candle light on it. “Yunho-ah..” you whispered.
As the song ended, he walks to you. “Happy birthday Hyerin!” he whispered. Your eyes were teary because of the sudden action. You were speechless.
“Make a wish and blow your candle now.” he said. You nodded, *I wish, my feelings for Jaejoong will quickly fade away.* with that, you blowed your candle.
“Happy birthday again.” he said. You bowed, “Gomawo.” you replied. “Let’s have a sit.” he said as both of you sat back on the grass.
“What is your birthday wish?” he suddenly asked. You look at him, do not know what to response. “That a secret.” you said.
He pouted, “Let’s start to eat this then.” he suggested and you nodded.
As both of you eating, fireworks suddenly appeared on the sky. “Woah!” you whispered. “Beautiful right?” you asked. He look at you and nodded, “Yeah. Just like you.” he said.
You look at him surprised, “Eh? What did you said?” you asked. “Do you want to know what my wish for you on your birthday?” he asked. You nodded since you really want to know.
“I wish you found a new job so that you don’t need to pretend to be Jaejoong’s girlfriend.” he replied. You were confused by his wish, “Wae?”
“Because I didn’t want to see you with him.” he replied. “What do you mean?” you asked. “Hyerin-ah, I like you not just a friend but as a woman.” he replied.
*What did he said? He like me as a woman? He’s confessing to me now?* you asked yourself. He waved his hand in front of your face, “Did you hear me?” he asked.
You snapped out all your thoughts. “Um, Yunho-ah.. You’re such a kind-hearted person. Tall and handsome that every girls want to have but why me?” you asked. “Because you’re different.” he replied. “You made my heart going crazy.” he added.
“But my job.. I don’t—” “I’m not asking for your answer now. You can still think of it. I’m willing to wait.” he said. You want to protest but he smiled at you so you just nodded.
“Um, I’m already tired. Can we go now?” you suddenly asked. He nodded, “Okay. I’ll take you home.” he offered as you nodded.
With that, both of you leaved the park.
CHAPTER 39
As you and Yunho reach your apartment, both of you went out from the car and Yunho walk you up to your front door.
To your surprised, Jaejoong was there. “Hyerin-ah!” he runs to you. You look away, don’t want to talk to him.
“Yah! What are you doing here? After you ditch her at her own birthday huh?” Yunho scolded him. “Yah! I didn’t ditch her. I was just—” “With Boa?” Yunho snapped.
“How did you know?” Jaejoong asked. “It’s not important. Hyerin is the one who important now. Today is her birthday. She waited for you but you’re not come. What kind of person are you?” Yunho coldly shouted.
“Yah! Who are you to say that to me huh?” Jaejoong shouted back. You went in between the two, “Yah! Can you please stop it?!” you yelled.
Both of them look down at you and pulled back each other. You then look to Yunho, “Thank you for today. You can go now. I’ll take care of him.” you said.
“But—” “Please..” you pleaded. “Okay. I’ll go ahead now and happy birthday again.” he said. You smiled, “Thanks.”
As Yunho already disappeared, you started to walk to the door. Jaejoong followed you, “Hyerin-ah, are you still mad?” he asked. You look at him, “What do you think?” you gave him a look.
“Yes. I can feel it but I hope you didn’t.” he replied. “Don’t ask me if you already know the answer.” you said as you twist the door knob.
“Wait! Let’s have a talk first.” he said. “I’m already tired.” you replied as you open your door. He then gragged your wrist, “Please don’t be mad at me. Okay. I’m sorry for ditching you but it’s not my purpose.” he explained.
You didn’t give a response. “Okay. Since it’s still your birthday, let’s celebrate!” he suggested. “I already celebrated my birthday with Yunho.” you snapped.
You was about to went in when he suddenly grabbed yoir wrist again.“Yes but not with me. Let’s eat dukbokki then. My treat!” he said. “I’m already full and I’m also tired.” you replied as you remove his hand from your wrist.
With that, you completely in and closed the door.
Jaejoong sighed, *Seems like she really mad at me. Aish! Jaejoong, what have you done to her and on the day of her birthday too.* he then left.
---
Morning came, you woke up early for you to buy a food since you didn’t have any on your refrigerator.
You were shocked when you saw Jaejoong standing in front of your door as you open it. “Good Morning!” he greeted.
You ignored him and passed by. He followed you, “Where are you going?” he asked. “None of your business!” you replied in annoyance as you continue walking. As you reach the Grocery Store, Jaejoong was still following you and continue asking a question but you didn’t give him a good answer.
Until you payed your bills, Jaejoong continue to follow you. You gave him a look, “Yah! Can you please stop following me?!” you shouted as both of you went out from the store.
“Not until you go with me.” he said. “What?! No way!” you said.
You then shocked to his next action. Jaejoong kneeled down in front of you. The attention of people around turns to the two of you.
You look down at him, “Yah! What are you doing? They’re all staring at us. Stand up now!” you ordered. He shook his head.
Jaejoong look around, “Everyone, can you please help me to make my girlfriend go with me?! I just want to celebrate her birthday even it’s already late.” he said. Your eyes widen, “Yah! Stop it. It’s embarassing..” you whispered.
“Woah! His boyfriend is so sweet!” “How I wish I have a boyfriend like that. Who want to celebrate my birthday even if it’s already late.” “Agreed and go with him!” “Go with him!” “Go with him!” “Go with him!” people continue chanting.
Jaejoong look up to you, “What’s your answer?” he asked. You sighed, “Okay I’ll go with you.” you replied.
He smiled and finally stand up, “My girlfriend is now going with me. Thanks to all of you.” he then grabbed your hand and dragged you to the Food Stand.
“Eh? What’s happening here?” you asked when you saw many balloons at the Stand and also did’t have any customer.
Suddenly, the ahjumma went out. “Happy birthday Hyerin!” she greeted. “But my birthday is yesterday.” you said.
“I know but your boyfriend rented my Stand to have a late celebration for your birthday. You’re so lucky to have him.” she explained. You turn to look at Jaejoong as he smiling at you.
“Have a sit.” he said as he dragged you to sit. “Ahjumma, bring out the dukbokki now.” he ordered. “Okay.” she replied and went in.
As the ahjumma came back, she was holding a big plate of dukbokki. “Go eat this.” he said. “Dukbokki for my birthday?” you asked in confusion.
“Yeah! I want your birthday will be different. I want this to be memorable to you. Since dukbokki is your favorite, it’s okay right?” he asked. You nodded.
“Okay then. I’m going to sing while you were eating.” he said. “You’re going to sing?” you asked. He nodded, “I’m going to dance also. Ahjumma, microphone please.” he said. The ahjumma nodded and handed him the microphone.
He took it, “Go start to eat.” he said as you did. He then started to sing a sweet song. *Woah! His voice was amazing!* you thought as you were watching him.

“No problem.” he replied. “I’m going in now.” you said. “I want to go inside.” he said.
“Eh? Wae?” you asked. “I just want to take some rest.” he replied.
You nodded in understanding.

to: Hyerin
Annyeong Hyerin! How’s your day? Me? Bad, because I didn’t see you. It’s better right since you’re still thinking about my confession? By the way, Good night and sweet dreams~

*Uh yeah! I forgot that he confessed to me yesterday.* you sighed. “What’s that sigh for? And who is the one who texted you?” Jaejoong suddenly asked as he study your face.
You look at him, “Uh, it’s Yunho.” you replied. Jaejoong’s mood changed when he heard that name. “What did he said?” he asked, curious.
“It’s nothing.” you replied. “Nothing for you to sigh huh?” he said.
You then seriously look at him, “Um.. Actually, yesterday when I and Yunho celebrated my birthday... Um..” “What?” Jaejoong was very curious now.
“..Yunho confessed his love to me.” you finally said. *Yunho already confessed to her. Yunho is kind but why am I not happy? No matter what, I need to be happy for her.* he thought. You study his face, waiting for his reaction.
Suddenly, he cleared his throat, “It’s good then. Yunho is kind and also my friend. And I think both of you looks good together.” he said and forced a smile.
You look away, disappointed, “Uh-oh.” you whispered. “I should go now. It’s already late.” he said as he stood up. You look up at him and just nodded. You didn’t walk him out and just watch him leave.
As Jaejoong finally leave, he put his hand on his chest, *Why do I feel hurt? Aish! I don’t like this feeling.* he thought and went home.
As he already arrived at his house, he went straight to his room and take a sleep already. But he couldn’t. He still thinking about what you said earlier.
“Ahhhhh!!! I can’t sleep!!! Why you keep crossing on my mind?!” he screamed.
He then sat up, *What if she accept him?* he thought.
Suddenly, he shook his head to snapped out his thought. He then laid down again, “Ahhhh!!!! Why do I feel like I’m heart broken or something!!!! This feeling is so weird!! I hate it!!” he screamed as he buried his face on his pillow.

You laid on your bed and sighed. *What I’m expecting? Of course he didn’t protest. I’m just his HIRED girlfriend. Aside of that, nothing more!* your heart crushed for your sudden thought.
You tried to sleep but couldn’t. “Ahhhh!!! Please stop thinking of him! He didn’t love you!! Don’t be stupid!!” you screamed as your tears starting to fall from your eyes.
