A sudden feel of soft feminine hands on my bare skin was all it took to pull me out of my deep slumber and even before I could understand what the hell was going on, the hands in question had curled up around my waist in a tight hold and pulled me closer to a naked body that lay underneath the sheets.
It only took that much time for me to come to my senses because, I was too tired from overworking myself trying to help my brother out on some work he had been keeping untouched in his room for weeks. And yes, I know am a snob when it comes to anything work related, but it was obvious that he was in dire need of help considering he had his normal job to do and also had to deal with the new construction of a department store on the beautiful island of Jeju.
I usually don't bother with Jeon when it comes to his job because he is on
I don't know how long I stood there staring at him from across the street. I was really looking forward to seeing this man again and I didn't even know how much until he was right there in front of me, looking just as gorgeous as he did the last time I saw him.He was dressed in blue jeans, a grey head sock and an orange coloured sweater that was way too big for him. The mixture of colors was actually horrible and anyone else would have looked like a fashionless bimbo in that outfit, but he somehow managed to pull it off and actually looked quite handsome in it. He was sitting all by himself at one of the tables out on the Terrance with a steaming mug of some hot beverage that I couldn't make out from where I was standing and his attention totally fixed on his laptop screen like his life depended on it.
In the few weeks following the Jeju project's commencement, work pilled up at the office so much that, even I had no choice but to spend all my time moving up and down with a thousand things to do. so the one Sunday I managed to get off work was such a blessing to me that I gladly decided to just sleep in and lazy around for the whole day.Unfortunately for me however, that Sunday just happened to be the same day Kristal decided to start up with her wedding things. She had received a message from her wedding planner the night before, informing her of the arrival of her dress and jeon's tux. Apparently they were supposed to go there for a fitting as a couple. But since Jeon is a certified workaholic, he was no where in sight that day, leaving me to suffer his fate because I was the walking, breathing replica of him.
The persistent knock on my front door woke me up from my troubled slumber and I groaned at the rude disturbance because whoever this person was, just about ruined the little sleep I managed to get after my almost sleepless night that was as the result of my not so romantic encounter with my crush the night before.My head was pounding so bad and I was sure my eyes were bloody red and puffy from the few tears I shed here and there during most of that night.I knew I was being a little unrealistic failing for a guy I barely knew, but like everybody else in the world, I too didn't have control over my feelings however stupid they may be and jeon's dismissive attitude had shuttered my delicate little heart and so yeah I cried a little bit. Sue me.I tried to ignore th
I woke up to a stinging headache on the eve of my brother's wedding. This was as a result of the lack of sleep I experienced while having to help the spoiled bride on her numerous wedding preparations the night before.I really didn't understand why she had to hire a wedding planner if she was going to fuss about everything herself and then have me run around like her little errand boy for every little thing anyway. But then again, my lack of sleep could also have been as a result of my realization that, I only had one more night before I get to finally lose Kristal to my brother forever.One last day and I was going to have to make a vow to forever hold my peace and not say anything or give a hint of my raw and intense feelings for her. They were moments when th
In a short period of 20 minutes, I had managed to change into three different outfits and check myself in the mirror countless times but still found that, I didn't like any of those outfits. It was ridiculous to say the least, and I was too old to be acting like a school girl on her very first date just because Jeon suggested on an outing with me around the island. But if I was being honest with myself, I would totally admit to the fact that, ever since he decided to be friends with me all those weeks ago, I couldnt help but fall hard for his gentle character and amazing good looks. Infact, I liked him so much that I had to stop myself from telling him just how much on several different occasions. It got even worse when, he would innocently smile in my face and cause total commotion from the butterflies in my stomach. So his
"Kristal baby, would you mind if I talked to my brother in private for a minute?"Jeon's voice was as steady as any man's voice would be if he didn't just witness the worst kind of betrayal anyone could ever go through right before his eyes.He was standing by the door with his hands in his pockets looking so calm with no trace in his demeanor to suggest that there was anything wrong at all. It's when he looked me straight in the face, that the anger in his eyes betrayed his calm facade.This was just like my brother. He always had this way of controlling his rage even in the worst of situations. I never understood that kind of behavior and it sure as hell frustrated me like crazy when we were children. It was until we grew up, that I realized just how dangerous h
When Jeon and I started that walk. I was feeling pretty nervous like I usually was whenever I was around him, but I eventually started to feel at ease as the day progressed and before long, we were laughing and joking around like we had known each other for a very long time. It was surprising to see Jeon lighten up and make easy jokes when he was always the reserved and quiet one in all the times that we had met up in the past. But it's not like I was complaining about it. Infact, I was really happy with the way the day turned out that I couldn't stop smiling and laughing at every little thing he said to me. As we walked through various stalls with different antiques on display for tourists, I found myself quietly wondering how it would feel like if I were to hold his hand while we walked. Or maybe run my hands through his me
After my brother left, I remained seated on my bed thinking about what I had done until my head couldn't handle it anymore and started aching all over again.My eyes were sore from crying too much and I was overwhelmed by my sense of guilt for hurting the one person who not only gave me love and affection my whole life, but was also patient enough to take in all the bullshit I threw at him in the course of that time. I always knew my brother deserved better than me betraying him like that, but my inability to hold up my own promises still ended up doing just that. But instead of him punching me in the face or at the very least cussing me out like expected of someone betrayed like that, Jeon seemed more worried about how my love for his woman must have caused me pain from all the time that he had been with her like his feelings
