"What are you doing?" Jung Chaerin questioned, spotting the man in her kitchen.
Ryu Seyoon was shirtless, and his pants were loosely hanging around his waist. A white towel was around his shoulder while water dripped down his hair.
His well-defined visible chest was an attractive sight to stare at, and finding it to be quite distracting, a small frown formed on Jung Chaerin's face.
When Jung Chaerin woke up in the night— because of how she was unable to sleep— she did not expect to have been displayed with such a sight. The fact that Chaerin found herself drawn to it was quite irritating to her.
"Water," Ryu Seyoon said, raising his glass of water.
Jung Chaerin nodded, and turning her back on him, she was about to walk away when something came in his mind, causing her to halt in her steps.
Without facing him, she voiced out, "Next time, don't go around the house shirtless."
Not providing a reason behind it, Chaerin began to walk towards the couch. Staring at her back, Seyoon let out a chuckle and placed the glass of water down.
°°°
Leaning her back against the couch, Chaerin closed her eyes. Despite trying her hardest, she was not able to able to fall asleep. Everytime she closed her eyes, images would flash around in her mind— making her unable to calm down.
Feeling someone's presence before her, Jung Chaerin opened her eyes gradually. Her eyes met with Ryu Seyoon's who stared down at her, and a mischievous glint was present on his eyes.
As she lowered her line of sight slightly, she realized that he still did not have his shirt on. A droplet of water dripped down his hair, and as it touched his chest, it slowly slid down. Taking in how he was gazing at her, Chaerin found that to appear quite sensual.
"Why?" he questioned.
At his question, Jung Chaerin raised one of her eyebrows and stared straight at his face. Regardless of how tempting it was, she did not attempt to look at his chest, knowing how humiliating it was for her to do such a thing.
He brought his face closer to her, and his warm breath hit at the surface of her face. His dark eyes managed to captivate her, and both of her lips parted slightly.
"Why do you not want me to be shirtless?" he asked.
Putting in her best efforts, Chaerin tried to make her gaze as cold as possible before she answered, "It is quite a disturbing sight."
"Could it be that you are afraid of being unable to control yourself?" he questioned— lowering his octaves.
"Refrain yourself from uttering all those nonsense," Chaerin harshly spoke out, "It appears that you are forgetting your place."
Ryu Seyoon chuckled and stated, "It seems that you are quite displeased by me currently. But, Jung Chaerin-ssi, I will be making it so that you are unable to live without me."
"This is ridiculous," Chaerin said, raising her hand.
Placing her palm against his chest, she tried to push him away from her. Regardless of the strength she used, he did not budge from his position.
"On one condition. I will move away and would not roam around shirtless on one condition," Ryu Seyoon spoke out.
'Truly annoying!'
Other than that, no other words came inside her mind. Maybe choosing someone from the other three would have been better option than selecting him.
"You are in no position to make such demands towards me. I have brought you, and you do as I order," Chaerin sternly spoke out— her eyes showing how serious she was about this.
"What do I do? I don't feel like obeying your orders; I am a naughty pet, Master," Ryu Seyoon stated.
"This will be considered a breach of contract, and I can sue you with this. If you don't want that happening, move away from me right now," Chaerin commanded.
"Would not your grandfather know in that way? I wonder how would he feel knowing that you bought a lover," he spoke out, "I might even reveal it to the press. They always like juicy news such as this."
"Are you threatening me?" Chaerin questioned, gripping on to the material of her couch.
Anger began to rise within her, and most of that was directed towards Kang Minseok for putting Ryu Seyoon as one of the options.
Shaking his head, Seyoon answered, "No, I was merely teasing you. How can I do that when you put such a cute expression on your face? If you don't want to do it, then fine. In exchange just go a little date with me."
With that, he moved from top of Jung Chaerin and plopped down on the couch beside her. Sitting up straight, she turned her head to face him and raised one of her eyebrows.
"A date? You can take someone else with you if you want to enjoy such events. I have no time to accompany you, and as long as you don't get discovered, your other lovers doesn't matter. But if you create a mistake, I would not hesitate to sue you," Chaerin stated.
"So, you are fine with it as long as you have time in your hand?" Seyoon arched both of his eyebrows, and a glint appeared in his eyes.
Jung Chaerin must not be the best person when it came to reading other's expression, but one on Seyoon's face right now clearly indicated how he was brewing up some plans inside his mind. It meant bad news to Chaerin.
"I suppose so," Chaerin replied.
"Don't go back on your words then. It's a promise!" he energetically voiced out.
