A Love Of Eternity

27

I walk out of the gates to be greeted by a sight for the eyes.
"woah"
I say, thinking out loud.
"a beauty isn't she?"
Pretty boy's voice comes from behind me.
"she sure is"
I say, staring at the black Mercedes Benz G-class before me.
He walks forward and opens the back seat door for me.
"Nope, I call shotgun"
I say, folding my hands on my chest and looking at him, a smirk on my lips.
"you wanna be childish about this"
He says, smirking.
I turn my head to the side nonchalantly, raising my chin up.
"do i have to carry you?"
He says and I look at him from the corner of my eye.
Without a second thought I rush to the front seat, hop in and lock the door.
I roll the window halfway down, stick my tongue out at him then roll it back up.
He closes the back seat door and walks around the car, opening the driver's side. He hops in and shuts the door.
"you are one hell of a problem ma'am"
He says smirking as he starts the car, the engine roaring to life.
"you're making me sound like some old woman, you're way older than me, my name is Lia and yes, I do know I'm a problem"
I say, a smug smile on my face.
"Lia"
He repeats, seemingly testing my name.
"well put on your seat belt, Lia"
He says, smirking at me.
"flirty much, pretty boy"
I say, wiggling my eyebrows at him.
He chuckles deeply.
"I'm not flirting....if I was"
He says, leaning closer.
"you wouldn't be able to resist"
He says, glancing down at my lips before leaning back and putting on his seat belt.
I do the same, trying to catch my breath.
"if you were flirting I'd kick you in the balls"
I say, gulping down a lump of saliva and glancing out the window.
He laughs heartily before starting the drive.

"you haven't told me your name"
I say, looking out the window at the passing cars.
"Jimin"
He says, his eyes never leaving the windshield.
"like the musician"
I say, turning to face him.
"yeah but my full name is Cheong Jimin"
He says, glancing at me.
"so not like the musician then"
I say, looking out the window when my eyes caught something, caught someone.
The middle aged woman from the other day. There she was, in her classy dress with her designer bag in hand as a man in a black suit helped her into a Rolls-Royce boat tail.
A wave of uneasiness hit me as I watched her form go by.

We drive into the parking lot of Hyun's house and Jimin helps me out of the car. We walk into the house, my mind still clouded with thoughts.
"princess"
Hyun's voice calls out and I look up to see him staring down at me, his expression laced with confusion and concern.
"are you okay?"
He asks, taking a hold of my hand.
I nod in response, a small smile on my face.
He looks over my head.
"you may go"
He says coldly and I turn to see Jimin give a small nod then turn to leave.
"bye pretty boy"
I say and he turns and waves goodbye, a smile on his face.
"you know him?"
Hyun asks and I turn to face him, his expression holding back something I couldn't quite figure out.
"nah, just met, we bonded"
I say blandly while making a gesture with my hand.
"is that so.."
He says looking over my head again with a look of distaste.
"I'll have to be picking you up myself then"
He mumbles incoherently.
"huh?"
I say, unabe to make out his words.
"nothing"
He says, looking into my eyes, a smile on his face.
"come on, you must be hungry"
He says, leading me in.

We ease ourselves into the couch and a maid comes in with a couple of paper bags, placing them on the table in front of us. She bows and leaves.
"where's Mrs Chang?"
I ask, watching as he started opening up the bags.
"she went out to get some groceries, she doesn't like it when the maids do it, she feels they buy shit"
He says, handing me a paper plate with a KFC burger on it.
"that's a harsh way to put it"
I say, looking at him with scrunched eyebrows.
"well that's what she says"
He says, looking me in the eyes, a hidden will behind his gaze.
I look away and to my plate, picking up the burger and taking a bite as he put on the TV.

To my surprise, he searches up SpongeBob SquarePants and taps on an episode.
"I thought you said this series were for kids"
I say, smiling as the theme song began.
"I'm not old now am I?"
He says, placing the remote tab down and picking up his burger.
