Chereads / Darken World Brighten Love / Chapter 9 - Was he here?

Chapter 9 - Was he here?

Arriving at Eric's residence, I pressed the doorbell and lingered for him to keep ajar the front door.

"Coming," but I heard him yelling from inside and it made me soothed.

"Hey, how are you?" he asked while hugging me.

"I'm good."

Walking inside the house, I sat on the couch and waited for others to arrive because Bae had an issue with something so she called us to come.

I was chit-chatting with Eric when we attended the presence of Min, Bae and Mi-Sun, they resided beside each other so they anyhow made sure to move toward together.

"Sorry, we're late," Min apologised because she was at fault.

"It's okay if you are but I guess we would have missed that if arrived here on time," I chuckled in her direction while giving her a knowing look.

"You guessed it right," she confided and stooped beside me.

"What are talking about? Something happened in between you two?" Mi-Sun asked while pouring water in a glass for herself in the kitchen of his.

Her whispering made us amazed and we looked at each other, asking what to say.

"Ah, it's nothing but-" Min paused, not knowing what to come up with.

"She meant that she saw my old friend and asked me if I remembered her. That's all," we faked our laughs at her so that she wouldn't suspect.

"Enough, now hearken to me?" Bae said. She came across pointed up over something so we all enlightened our thinking to her.

And we spend our time trying to find any solution for her but I accepted my defeat but Mi-Sun found her away and we split up our way to the house.

"Hello, Jin-Ae?"

"Yes, brother?" I answered back to his call while entering the house.

"Can you bring a file with black covering in my office I forgot in hurry," he expected me to fetch his file, I would never deny his request but going to the company was not a good indication for me.

"You can ask your Secretary, you know I don't want to appear in front of her. She would think otherwise," I meant him.

"Please, it's urgent if I would have asked my secretary then why would I be calling you to do the same."

"Alright, I'm coming," I nodded while mirroring myself.

Annoyingly I threw my purse on my shoulders and went to his office room, yeah he had an office in the house, being the future CEO, he had to work hard so that's why it was like that.

Unhooking the door, I turned on to search for his file but flunked, clearing the drawer I peeped very carefully but instead of that file, I got a letter that appeared much like a love letter.

"What is it?" I mumbled to myself while making an effort to open that letter but I realised that I have to hand over him that file so keeping that letter inside my purse, I again looked for that.

"He told me that it would be on the table but I found it in a drawer," I sighed and made my steps towards the exit of his room.

At company:)

"Here's your file brother," I said while entering his room but it looked like I unnerve them, Ari was in his arms, they were so lost in each other that my utterances were not enough for them to get them back to reality.

It appeared that Ari was about to fall and like a hero, my brother saved her from falling.

"I can't ignore this moment," pulling out my phone from my pocket and captured their romance forever in my memories.

I slowly grabbed a seat on the couch and noticed them for the whole time, I wasn't visible in their sight but I was sure to notice their eyes filled with love.

"Sir, here's your meeting plan for today," his secretary said, peeking inside his cabin but I instructed him to stay low by signalling him with a finger on my lips.

"Sure," he curved his lips and moved outside.

"S-H-I-T, I told him not to make any noise," I said while getting up from my place.

His Secretary disturbed them by locking the door with a loud noise and they realised the reality and avoided each other's eye contact.

"So much of lovey-dovey couple, ah very good," I said while grabbing their attention towards me.

Ari flinched after heeding my voice and showed an discomfiting smile.

"Were you here for the whole time?" my brother and faked a cough to avoid the embarrassment and both of them had effect to get occupied with their work.

"I wish I would have captured the whole romance action but couldn't. So sad," I faked my drama and put my head on his table with sadness and regret.

"Stop it, where is the file?" he asked.

"Oh, I forgot. Have," I took out the file and gave him in his hands.

"You can leave," I know I interrupted them but it didn't mean he would sound so rude to me.

"Sure," I threw my hands on his table with a loud sound and took long steps to leave his room.

"I have clicked your picture," I said before leaving the room and ran fast after noticing my brother's action of annoyance.

"JIN-AE STOP THERE," I laughed at his shout trying to stop me.

I was running while facing my behind that I didn't realise my mom standing in front and I accidentally collided with her back.

"I'm sorry," I apologized without realising the personality in front.

"What the heck" she shrieked while spinning around.

"Ahh, I was scared of this only," I thought to myself and wriggled to the side to look at my brother.

"Oh my God! Am I seeing the right person? Shik?" she rebutted her taunt easily adding an evil laugh on her face.

Not letting him let out but I spoke out before him.

"Yeah, you are seeing the right person."

•••••••••••••••

"Sung-Ho, Can you drop me at SEO Organisation, I didn't realise the time and now it's getting late. I don't want to pass over a bad impression on there. Please! please!" Sun-Hee requested him while conserving on the phone.

"Why can't you manage your time properly?" he said to her in a strict tone as did the professor when any student appeared late in his class.

"I promise I would do but please just for today," she again begged for his help but he was also busy in his lecture at the University although it only took 15 minutes to reach the company from the University.

"But I'm in University presently. Take a cab?"

"I was trying to catch the cab but failed. Please hurry up I know it's your vacant time for the next one hour," Sun-Hee made him aware of his free class.

"Okay, wait for me. I am coming up," not being able to find any excuse to deny her, he agreed.

"Let's go," he drove his car to the entrance of the college and wanted her to climb inside the car.

"Thank you so much," she whispered and hurriedly tied the seat belt.

"I don't want to face that rude lady, please save me," she was mumbling to herself.

"Why are so scared of that lady?"

"She gonna guide me for my work and I already face her before so I don't know what gonna happen. Please drive fast."

He nodded and turn on the high speed.

"Thank you so much," she whispered and pecked his lips while cupping his cheeks.

She hurried that she forgot her phone inside the car.

"Why she is like that?" grabbing the phone, he climbed out of the car and moved further to the entrance of the company.

"Sun-Hee, your phone. Try to be more responsible towards your life and holdings," making her stop in her way, he whispered.

"Shit, I am sorry," there were standing in the common space of the company and his face was quite visible from the distance, where Jin-Ae was speaking to her mother.

"I am going. Listening to your talks is waste of time," I threw my harsh words straight on her face, I tried to get out of her sight as soon as possible.

I passed a smile in my brother's direction and moved towards the exit.

"Bye," Sung-Ho whispered and soon left from there.

"What? Is he here?" I got attentive towards the sound of someone known so I rushed towards the sound but as soon as I reached there I was encountered with same faces not him.

"Was he here?" I revolved to get him in my sight because it wasn't possible that I misheard his voice.

"What happened Jin-Ae?" a sound of Ari dropped in my ears after noticing my frozen body in there.

"Oh, nothing I was just wondering about the infrastructure of this company. Bye, see you later at home."

"Bye"

"Let's go and take a good nap," I asserted, after climbing inside the car, not being able to believe my eyes, I rubbed them and noticed that Sung-Ho was there in the company.

"He was here but what he was doing here?" it was obvious for me to raise that question because I never heard that he showed his presence in the company by any of my known.

"It has been so long that I saw you, I miss you. Don't know when we gonna meet. I love you Sung-Ho," I said while looking at his car that was passing by the crossing.

I didn't know that whether he feels the same way as me but I am sure of one thing that he liked me when we were in the University. I hoped that he didn't have someone else in his life. I only want myself to be that only one for him.

She didn't know that his girlfriend was working under her parent's guidance as well as in Hyun Corporation. And neither of her family members knew that the person she loves, had any girlfriend. But that didn't make sense when two people are in love with each other.

"I hope I meet you soon."
