teukie..?! chapter 7 part 2
Once again she stunned at the blinding sight of the interior of leeteuk office. Picture of famous models filled the walls, hundreds if not thousand design of clothes and magazines of fashion were all over the place. It wasn’t messy, instead, it seems like a piece of art she afraid to touch. Leeteuk hold on to her angel’s arms as she feel scared by the feary aura in the room. It scream professional for her.
What if when she handle this issue from now on, in the next month the real leeteuk will go bankrupt?!
“please come in, leeteuk sshi,” the assistant stand on the right side of the wooden table, waiting for the rightful person to sit on the chair.
The pretty man nudge her to go forward. Leeteuk shakes her head like a child. Heechul’s glared, leeteuk keep shaking her head. Neena eyed them with interest. In the end heechul win as he grope the girl’s butt to make her jump and runaway from him into the office, face red, both because of embarrassment and anger.
Just see, I’ll starve your cat.
heechul smirks in victory.
........................................
“I-I know this sound presumptuous, but I have to make a confession.” Neena begin with stuttered.
Leeteuk calmly wait, even though her heart felt like beating hard and the urge to jump out of the place almost win her brain.
“I stole your design from your safety box,” she confessed while bowing her head low.
Leeteuk tilted her head, “huh?”
“I-I have to! Because you’re in the hospital, coma and if there’s nothing new to sell, this boutique will be down! I tried so hard to keep this place running b-but I need new design and we can’t hire another designer since you’re the one who always design and I know how you hate if other people get in hand into your business so I-“ leeteuk raised her hands to stop the stammering girl to keep talking. She even wonders how she could manage to speak that long sentence in one breath.
And if that the problem, she was soooooo relieved. Fiuh, so no life and death condition she’s facing, right? She dance in her head,
“if that’s the only problem neena ah, it’s okay, I understand,” she show her her million dollar smile plus dimple, reaching to her assistant (aka savior) to pat her shoulder.
“t-that’s not the only problem,”
The movement on neena’s shoulder stopped, so do the movement of the occupant of the room. 2 pairs of eyes staring intensely at the poor young girl.
“we need to do something about promotion. We...we’re lack of promotion and the amount of consumer are decreasing...well not much, but it’s in the level of warning and needed attention.”
So there goes her life and death condition....
.................................
“what?” kangin asks.
“what? Is that too hard for you to do it?” he gulped at the puppy dog eyes served in front of his eyes.
“I want to expand my business. It already does, but with the help of your magazine, my boutique will be known better.”
“please..??” she added when the man doesn’t respond.
“it-it’s not that I don’t want to help,”
“I’ll pay, don’t worry..” she put another pout as her effort to get kangin’s help. Later, it’s her time to feel confuse when she saw kangin smiling.
“no, it’s not about the pay. I just-“ he paused, “I just surprised to know that you’re actually a fashion designer,” he put his chin on top his folding hand, eyes found it amusing when he studying the girl’s features.
“that’s mean,” leeteuk crossed her arms and lean back, pouting.
“well,” the editor eyeing her in interest, “judging from how you dressed...”
The edge of leeteuk lips twitched, she scoffed and looked away.
I’m a man for god sake, how do I know how a girl dressed..
she peeked at what she wear today, baby blue sneakers, oversized shirt and baggy jeans. Right, she looks like a hip hop lover, but it’s loose! And she likes it loose.
“haha, I’m sorry.. I don’t mean to quip you,” leeteuk shifted her gaze a little, happy to hear the familiar chuckle. She fully turned her head around right when kangin speak again, “I’ll ask one of the journalist in the office to help you,”
“I want you!” leeteuk quickly added.
Kangin froze, “c-can’t you be the one who write it?” she lean forward. Putting puppy dog eyes to attacks the big built man. Again. Double attack always worked.
“why?” he ask, feeling wonder at the request.
It feels weird, how he felt objected when he first time met her, but now, it’s feels easy. Since their day out a few days ago, it’s change his sight. It feels like with jungsoo all over again.
“why it must be me?” he ask again, this time with a mischievous gaze.
Silence.
Leeteuk blink her eyes unbelievable. Is he flirting with her? Already? Wow that’s fast.
Playboy, she scoffed in her mind, mentally kicking kangin on the balls. An idea coming into her brain, a sly grin appeared on her face bring kangin to raise his eyebrows high. She lean forward too, bringing her face close to kangin.
The man felt a hot gaze coming from the counter where a chinese eyeing them in interest, kangin can see cell phone ready in hand. He cursed in his head, mentally make a note to threat hangeng later to not say anything to yesung. His best friend would gladly investigate him and that’s the last thing he wants to face.
“so I can close to you?” leeteuk putting her left arm on the table, right hand lightly poking kangin’s finger. “so I can know you better?” she move closer, seeing the man opposite her widening his eyes.
That’s what kangin said to jungsoo on their first date. Again, once again she brings out the memory. It makes him confused and slightly pale, his eyes can’t left the other’s orbs, digging deeper and deeper in the dark brown orbs, searching for what, kangin doesn’t know.
Feeling that she moved too fast and too much, leeteuk quickly retreat her hand and lean back. Plant a small smile, showing her dimple to kangin and trying to act casually. She lick her bottom lips before finally asks,
“so, what do you say?” she give out a chuckle.
Kangin, who was now wake from his trance also leaning back, he bring his hand on his lap, rubbing the suddenly felt burning spot as he cleared his throat awkwardly.
“uh, yeah, sure..”
Both were looking away, avoiding each other eyes for completely different reason. When they accidentally glancing at the other, they both chuckling in unison.
Really, this girl is weird. The more kangin stay with her, the more she reminds him of his late fiancee. It was not hurting, instead... it feels familiar, how his heart beating again. How he feels like alive again.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
It’s like his heart realizing the owner, like a sign.
