Of course not. Why would anyone even date me? I'm so ugly", I nervously chuckle avoiding Hyun-ki's mesmerizing eyes.
"MaeMae, you are not ugly. You're beautiful. Tons of attractive, nice guys would date you", Hyun-ki compliments. I gently punch his arm and hide my blushing.
"What about you Mr. Perfect?", I ask and he doesn't have any facial expression.
"What do you mean?", he responds with another question.
"I mean you're really attractive, thoughtful, kind, nice, selfless, and you are famous", I list everything I know about him so far.
"Being famous isn't everything, and you've only known me for about 3 hours", Hyun-ki laughs, and grabs the remote to turn the TV off.
"Good point, and let's just say I'm a really great judge of character. I can tell the real people from the fake people. It's like a superpower", I grin uncontrollably because of how Hyun-ki is listening to me. He's completely attentive to what I'm saying. I love that about him. He's an awesome listener, and speaker.
"Well....I am only focused on my career, so I don't have time for love", Hyun-ki tells me. However, I can sense a hint of doubt in his words.
Without a reason, my heart quickly drops to my stomach. I was emotionally hurt and didn't know why.
"Well sometimes....Mr.Kim, you may not have time for love, but love has time for you", I sounded poetic and he just made a face apparently taking in my statement.
"I guess love is some kind of fate. You can't control who it wants, and it's unpredictable sometimes. However, you'll always know deep down inside", Hyun-ki claims which seemed absolutely logical. I nod my head in concordance.
Out of nowhere, Hyun-ki and I see 6 guys heading out of the theater. They appeared as if they'd slept in the wilderness for a whole week.
"Goodnight guys!", I say farewell as they head out one by one.
"Goodnight MaeMae!", all 6 guys managed to shout together on time.
"We should probably go to bed too. I'll show you where you're sleeping", Hyun-ki guides me to the room upstairs. It was extravagant, and definitely better than my room.
"Woah!", I tour myself around the room.
"That chandelier itself is way bigger than my room", I show so much excitement and I look as if I have fallen into wonderland. I just flop down on the cozy bed. I sit up and finally realize that I still have Hyun-ki's jacket on. This was when I noticed him leaning on the doorway this entire time.
"Here", I hand him his jacket.
"Keep it", he rejects with a luminous grin. So I hang it on a hook in the closet.
"Thanks. I'll cherish this forever like a souvenir", I inform him while walking backwards towards the bed and falling flat. He just chuckles and rubs his adorable nose.
"Well...goodnight MaeMae", he departs from the room into the long hallway. Though I stop him before he reached his bedroom.
"Wait Hyun-ki", I whisper as loud as possible, trying my hardest not to wake anyone up. Especially Yong-sun, because if the rumors are telling the truth, this man will kill you if you wake him up from his sleep.
"What's up?", Hyun-ki turns around and rubs his eyes.
"I forgot that I don't have any pajamas, and I don't want to sleep in these clothes. It's unpleasant", I peer down at my outfit.
"Okay, come on", he gestures his fingers down the hallway, and eventually makes a turn into his bedroom which is very expansive and bright-colored. Are all of the rooms this enormous? This is an enchanted mansion. It's so unique, I can't exactly put it into words. Oh wait! I just did.
I examine the room in awe. Wow, just wow!
"Here you go", Hyun-ki hands me a large, blue, baseball shirt.
"Thank you, and...goodnight", I hug Hyun-ki to express my gratitude and he hugs me back. I pull away after 10 seconds, and silently run down the hall. That's another superpower I have. I can run anywhere without making noise, which actually came in handy when I was escaping those criminals.
*Hyun-ki's Point Of View
"Crazy girl", I think to myself as I shake my head.
*MaeMae's Point Of View
I close the door behind me as soon as I get to the guest bedroom. I replace my clothes with the shirt that I received from Hyun-ki, and use the scrunchy I had from my purse to style my hair in a messy bun. I hear a knock on my door, and I open it to see Hyun-ki stand before me who seems surprised to find me in his shirt. This guy was overly dumbfounded and astonished. I almost wanted to chuckle at his face.
"What's up?", I tilt my head in wonder.
"I...I...just wanted to know if you were cold or hot....and wanted me to change the temperature in the house", he stutters which is super cute.
"No. I'm fine. Thanks for asking", I appreciate Hyun-ki's thoughtfulness.
"No problem", Hyun-ki bows his head in acceptance of my appreciation.
I salute him as a way of saying, "Goodbye".
He disappears down the hallway, but then 3 minutes later I hear another knock.
Before I could see who it was, I jokingly complained, "Seriously Hyun-ki? What else do you want?"
When I opened my eyes, Hyun-ki had already grabbed me and kissed me. I didn't know what to do with my hands since it was my first kiss, so I wrapped my arms around his neck. Yes, I'm a college student and this is my first kiss! I don't know how to kiss, but it must've been going well because he didn't pull away. It's pretty cringe-worthy talking about kissing, I'll stop.
"Hey guys? Is there someone making noise? I thought I heard something", Ji-hoon comes out of his room with tired eyes along with Jun-seo and Tae-geun. I wonder about the size of their rooms, and why they came out when they heard us kissing, but not when we were talking.
As they each come out of their rooms, Hyun-ki and I still kissing display an expression of being startled in our eyes, so we pull away. We pretend as if nothing happened as the guys come towards the guest room.
"MaeMae? Hyun-ki?", Tae-geun waits for verification.
"What are you guys doing at 1 a.m.", Hyun-ki yawns almost about to fall on the ground where he's standing.
"Nothing just making sure she's all set to go to bed", Hyun-ki replies while Ji-hoon looks at us with suspicion.
"Well keep it down you guys. Be happy that we're not Yong-sun, or else you'd be dead by now", Jun-seo jokes waving us goodnight. Ji-hoon and Tae-geun follow behind to their rooms.
Hyun-ki and I just observe each other for a minute. At one point, Hyun-ki winks at me, backs up into the hallway smoothly and returns back to his room. I roll my eyes, and head to sleep.
I cannot believe that that just happened. I am partially shocked, and partly happy that we kissed but...what now?
