How could GreenEast hold a press conference in a week if Lee Changhyuk was staying in her place for a whole month? Did he change his mind? Ok, asking him about that was one thing, but she actually just wanted to see that playful brat. Did he still lock himself in the big room?
"Miruku - chan!" A familiar voice called her. Shizu turned her head and blushed. That figure put off his sunglasses and happily waved his hand at her.
Yeah, she only 'knew' him for a half day and didn't see him for one day. She forgot how dazzling that figure was under the light. Those black-stud earrings definitely made those sexy jaw lines stand out. The top of his unbuttoned white shirt did him justice, it took an entire self control not to drool over that broad chest. Sex took a human form in Lee Changhyuk.
Lee Changhyuk was all smiley as he was running towards her. In fact, he always had that smile whenever he saw her. A smile that would make bystanders turned their head to him. A smile that was so bright, it was contagious and would make whoever saw it smile with him. A pure happiness was radiating from that innocent face.
Without realizing it, that honest happiness effortlessly put a smile on her beautiful face. You could see her face softened as her pearl-white teeth appeared between those soft lips. He had always shined the brightest from the first day she saw him. That figure who always looked evil yet so pure. That figure who always ran to her and smiled the brightest whenever he saw her.
Lee Changhyuk almost jumped around from happiness as he witnessed a lovely smile appeared on her beautiful face. That beautiful face that kept occupying his mind, did she really just smile at him? He felt like he was the luckiest guy in the world. What did he do to deserve such warmth?
'Milk girl, you are too far..'
Refusing to waste a second longer- he stretched his arms out and pulled the milk girl to his side. Giving her the warmest big hug like a kid missing his favorite treasure. It was too long.
Locking himself in the big room- he was sleeping all day and refused to meet the milk girl. His face was all pale, he didn't want to make the milk girl worried. He somehow knew that the good-hearted milk girl would ask about his health if he ever showed that pale face in front of her. Unable to tell her the truth- he would end up playing with his words as usual. The good-natured milk girl wouldn't buy his words but would be too polite to probe for the truth, so she would have definitely just stayed quiet and looked sad.
Only God knows the extreme length he would go to wipe away the sadness from her face. He liked his new friend a little too much, he would literally do anything for her. He came all the way to Japan to see her, abused his power to meddle in Cheerful Youth's filming, neglected his bruised ribs to spend some time with her. His health, only when he was healthy, his hyungs would leave him alone. So before he did anything stupid, he locked himself in the big room to recover. He was mostly sleeping but that day was definitely the longest day in his life!
Shizu was freezing, she dropped all of Le sucre's bags. Her hands were hanging in the air and her mind was filled with a messy riddle as she tried to digest the situation. The world around them somehow started to slow down.
The warm temperature of his body slowly calmed her breath. She could hear his every heartbeat. It was peaceful and soothing. Those protective arms were firm yet gentle, embracing her with full of endearment. He softly snuggled his cheek on her head, his thumb tenderly moved up and down on her shoulder as if he was trying to massage all of her worriness away. And his smell... he surprisingly smelled very familiar. She liked that particular smell, it somehow always calmed her mind.
Funny, she felt that he was cherishing her. The fattest star in Japan and Korean peninsula was now holding her dearly? Who was she kidding? But that feeling, she didn't dislike that.
Slowly, Shizu wrapped her hands around his back then returned that warm hug. Lee Changhyuk could feel that delicate hands wrapped around his body. He was so happy that he hugged her even tighter. Closing his eyes, he treasured that small figure with every breath he took. He slowly put his lips on the top of her head, giving her the gentlest kiss with all of his heart. It came so naturally to him, he didn't realize that he just gave the milk girl THE shock of her life!
Shizu's eyes widened, she was screaming from the shock but thank God her face was closely buried in his chest, so you could only hear the sound of her throat.
"Mmmpphhhh!!!!"
Lee Changhyuk let go of the milk girl, he put his hands on her shoulders then closely studied her face like a child studying his favorite toy. From the look on his face, he clearly didn't realize a single thing that he just did. Her heart was beating fast, Shizu covered her mouth with both hands as she was desperately trying to hide her blushing face from that ignorant brat. Lee Changhyuk looked down to his left chest. He saw a red lip mark from her lipstick. That carefree face was grinning from ear to ear.
"Whoa, don't you think my shirt would look nice if you gave another one on the right side?" He said as if it was nothing.
Shizu took a deep breath and closed her eyes. He just gave her another mini heart attack! Lee Changhyuk! That was too much!! But he was just so carefree that she knew he didn't mean anything bad. Or did he? She bite her tongue to stop herself from freaking out. She started to rechanting the mantras in her head to keep herself calm in front of this impulsive brat. She finally met that curious gaze.
"Why are you here?"
'I missed you.' But that didn't come out of his mouth. Lee Changhyuk carefreely shrugged his shoulders then looked at the fallen bags.
"For this. I came to help you. I don't want to be a freeloader." He playfully answered the milk girl. He bent his body then started to collect the bags.
Shizu lowered herself then immediately joined Lee Changhyuk to pick up the bags.
"You are definitely not a freeloader, trust me." She nodded her head firmly to assure him but Lee Changhyuk was laughing it off.
"Don't say that Miruku - chan. How could I let a girl work all alone while I sleep and eat comfortably in her place? Geez, I'm not that shameless." He picked himself up.
Shizu creased her temple and forced a smile. She raised her head and was slowly getting up.
"Of course you could sleep and eat in my place. You paid for it!" And at a very overpriced rate. She was giving him a hopeless yet confused look as she was trying to shove some logic to him.
Lee Changhyuk gave her another carefree shrug then took all of the bags from her.
"I can carry them."
"You can carry my hand." Lee Changhyuk tilted his head then offered his hand to her. That suspicious playful face that always made him look up-to-no-good. A devil in disguise! But her guts always told her that he would never hurt her.
That hand was precise, elegant yet very sturdy. It was a hand of a grown up man. Ah, she really wanted to take that hand. Shizu said nothing but stared at his carefree face. 'Is it really okay?'
As if he was able to read her mind- a cheerful smile formed on his handsome face. He nodded his head confidently to assure her. Refusing to wait any longer, he grabbed that delicate hand and held it dearly.
Carrying everything with one hand then carrying her palm with another hand- He smiled as his eyes were drowning in her beautiful brown ones.
"I'll take you wherever you want. Tell me, Miruku - chan, where do you want to go?"
