Chapter 3 - A little toast'

He nods, we then walk to his car where his driver hmus waiting and ride somewhere. '

I look out the window watching the scenery.

We don't say much so it's kind of akward.

I hate akward situations, guess I'll just play an rpg game on my phone.

I open my phone and go to an app called "Tears of Cho-" it's an really popular Rpg game where you can meet friends and battle monsters, or go on different quest or event access. My favorite one on mobile is the life simulator quest it's like real life problems but solved in an rpg game related way! it's so cool!

"Oh I didn't know you were such a nerd Ms. Lee? " He looked down at me through his sunglasses with a slightly serious look.

"Well you weren't supposed to know, we literally just met earlier today.. " I roll my eyes.

"Speaking of which why the hell am I going with you, your practically a stranger, for all I know you could be plotting to kill me. " I tense up and scoot away from him.

He sighs. "If I were to do that, I would have done it this morning in the taxi. " He said with a smug look on his face. I scoff.

"Okay so uhm..., where are we going exactly? " I close out the app and focus on my surroundings.

"To my suit of course, I'm currently staying in a hotel as of now because paparazzi have swarmed my house for whatever reason. "

I tense. A freaking hotel!? what is this guy thinking we literally just met... wait I might be over thinking.. i-

"It's not what your thinking I would just like to discuss my work plans with you, since we are going to be working together. " He crosses his legs and takes out a file. Geez he's so proper.

"Wow what a birthday gift. " I say sarcastically.

"Don't worry Ms. Lee, we will have a celebration for you after we discuss our professional matters. "

The car stops and he gets out, and so do I. I look up to see this enormous building. This is the new hotel everyone's been talking about! 'I sigh.' I should I should have known it would be this hotel, this guys loaded.

We walk inside the front door of the hotel. The lobby has beautiful Jade floors and counter tops. The chairs a beautiful marble color, and everything looks so luxurious. Even the wilted flowers by the water fountain look beautiful.

'This is just unbelievable.

After checking in we make it to the elevator. The elevator has see-through doors, cool!

He picks the floor number and we ride up to the suite. We walk out of the elevator, walking down the green carpeted halls.

"Pretty nice huh? " He said putting his hand into his pockets.

"Uhm if you mean expensive, then yes. " I sigh taking out my phone again. We finally reach the suite and we walk inside.

Boy, . ..... does this take my breath away, it's like I walked into a spa. There is plants and flowers around the doorway. Then there's a miniture waterfall when you walk further into the suite. A big couch and a flat screen tv. And to top it all off, there's an hot tub, and beautiful jade themed bathroom. I don't even wanna look at the size of the bed.

I can't believe all of this is all on the third floor.

"I'll go get the files and the information, just make yourself at home. "

He walks into a room in the back.

-Sigh-

I sigh. Geez, I sigh a lot don't I? I sit on the long and non surprisingly comfy couch.

"Ahhh... I could get used to this. " I lean back into the couch.

"Get up I have the information. " Jung-hee comes walking towards me and sets the paper down on the table in front of the couch.

"Aisha lee, age 21, '166 centimeters and your half African American, Half Korean... mostly African american" He said whilst circling around the room, file in his hand.

"Major in photography and technology, .. tsk what a nerd. " He said with a small smile.

I roll my eyes.

"Okay enough of saying things we both already know let's talk about the project. " He sets down a couple of pictures of ideas and drawings.

"I wanted to change up the theme a bit. "

I nod my head. "Okay what do you want to change it too, and nothing outrageous please. "

He shakes his head. "Don't worry I don't joke when it comes to things like this. " He had a serious look on this face. That's right, even though he was reported to be a jerk he was very serious when it came to work. Well, at least that's what I've heard.

"I was thinking something like a sort of vintage, black and white movie feel. " He pulled out a book and opened to one of the pages.

It was filled with a sketch of what his idea was initially. "As you can see I added an idol like feel to it, which was the initial idea. " "Though... I do think that we should change it up to blend with a galla and modern look, then add the vintage black and white style. "

"That..... actually doesn't sound bad, I think I can work with that. " I take some of his sketches and we start reviewing more together.

-30 minutes later-

"Okay I think we're both on the same page with the project so we can call it a night, we can have your birthday celebration now. " He said with a sigh as we start to put the sketches and books up.

"It's not much because we are merely acquaintances, but I have some food and Alchoholic beverages, and of course regular beverages if your not much of a drinker. "

I think for a moment. "Okay, I'll have whatever you prepare for me. " I say as I take out my phone once again. He nods his head ands starts to prepare the things for us.

- A couple minutes later-

"Okay I have some white rice and kimchi, with.... Korean style barbecue. " He the sat down some squared shaped glasses on the table, pouring wine into his and into mine. I prefer soju over wine but, then again I did ask for whatever he'd fix. Wine is good too.

We pray, then begin to take a bite of our food. My eyes light up. "This is amazing, thank you. " I smile and continue to eat this deliciously cooked food. He smiles genuinely and continues to eat his food.

"I know this might seem old fashioned but...., let's make a toast. " He grabbed his glass and rose it into the air.

"A toast to what? " I say as I chew the teriyaki chicken off of the kebab.

"To our partnership, and of course your birthday. "

I nod and then too pick up my glass.

"To future success and partnership. " I say lifting my glass to his.

He pauses for a moment. Then smiles.

"To future success and partnership. "

-Clink-

We then continue to eat in silence, our silverware clinking against our plates.

--10 minutes later-- (We finished eating)

"Thank you. " I say in the quietness. I was meaning to say something since it was so awkward, plus he did fix all the food for me.

He turns to look at me as he's putting our dishes away.

"There is no need to thank me since I offered, but I will accept your thanks Ms. Lee. "

I nod and drink some more of the wine from my glass.

As I'm drinking I take a minute to look at Jung-hee as he's cleaning the dishes. I didn't think about it earlier but he really is good looking. I can tell by the shape of his body that he works out a bit, but still a bit slender. I guess that's expected for a model like him. His semi-long black hair, that I'm guessing he likes to keep half tied up, is just so pretty. His eyes are a dark brown and he has long eyelashes.

He arms are long and his hands are big and slender. It's like he is the definition of a "beauty standard". Not to mention his skill in fashion, it's like he was born a God. These are the type of people I like to call " Spoiled gifts". Meaning God has blessed these souls plentiful. Trailing down to his lips, he's so handsome he actually looks. prettier than me! What sense does that make!?

"It is rude to stare Ms. Lee. " Jung-hee said as he drys his hands.

I jump, a bit embarrassed that I was caught. I guess I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I hadn't noticed.

"Sorry, I was just... " I trail off as I actually contemplate on what I was thinking about. I freeze. What the hell was I just talking about? This is my co-worker I'm talking about, practically my boss! A stuck up rich boy who was rude to me.... But then again he did make me food and congratulate me... I sigh.

"Do you have any Soju in there Mr. Hee? " I say.

Jung-hee looks at me for a moment and then sighs. "Are you sure you can handle Soju?, it's a bit stronger than wine. " He looks at me questionably.

I scoff.

"Of course I can, Soju is a no brainer. "

He sighs and then pours me a glass.

"If you get drunk I'm charging you, so stay sober. "

I don't answer and just lift my glass in the air. Then I proceed to drink it.

-CLANK-

"Ahh, that's the stuff. " I was beaming at this point, I haven't had soju since I was 19.

"Another one please? " I say as I lift my glass towards him, still having a little burn in the back of my throat. The sweetness of the soju made it all the better though.

--3 shots later--

Jung-hee sighs. "God, your drunk aren't you? "

I lay my head on the table, a bit dizzy and I feel a bit feverish.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know I was this light of a drinker..... " I guess I should have thought about it, I mean I haven't had it since I was 19.

He sighs and goes to the sink to get a cold wash cloth. He squeezes it out and makes his way over to me.

- --- PAT ----

He places the cloth on my head after lifting it up.

"I think I'm a bit buzzed is all..... " I trail off as I meet his eyes. It feels like the room went quiet and the atmosphere of the room changed.

"So your saying your sober and your letting me do this to you? "

I blush. Is he flirting with me? I grin.

"You haven't even drunken that much and your doing this to me, did you want to touch me that badly? Did my current state give you an excuse? "

I grab his wrist as he's standing over me, holding the towel in his hand onto my for head. He places the towel down on the table, and I then pull him onto the couch.

Next thing I know we are inches away from each other's lips.

"I think.... I might.. be a bit drunk too. "

I chuckle lightly. I must be out of my mind. Though I guess he did seem like he doesn't drink much, seeing how he drank the wine earlier. But he still kept his composure?

"I guess we're both in for it aren't we? " I lean in and kiss him. Moving my hand from his wrist to his collar, pulling him deeper into the kiss. He's tense at first, but then he slowly relaxes into it. The kiss gets more feverish as his tounge makes its way into my mouth. He moves it so skillfully and agressivly that I feel like I'm going crazy.

The kiss deepens as he leans down and I'm pushed further down onto the couch. His hands moving down to my waist and gripping the brim of my skirt. He pulls away slowly and I let out an exhausted gasp for air.

He's looking down at me like he's holding back something. His face and ears red and his shirt a bit messy.

He then leans back down and starts kissing me again, this time more slowly and his tounge is moving more freely now. His hands make their way back up to the sides of my stomach, holding them as he starts to kiss my neck. I gasp, letting out a small moan. He then moves back up to kiss me again, before stopping one last time. I laugh a little and then next thing I know I see nothing but darkness.
