Seungcheol's POV
[Can we meet tonight?]
With just a single text from her, I felt refreshed. After spending my morning at the shooting range to practice, I went straight to work. I thought it's better to fill my mind if I don't want my anxiousness beats me; or else I might cause trouble by going in the resort just to check her. But on my way to work, I received Celine's message, asking for a meet up tonight. My world brightened all of a sudden. Like a child who forgot why he was pulling a tantrum a moment ago just because he was given a candy, I also forgot my worries.
The pile of paper works in my office lessened as time passes by. I was doing my best to finish everything so we can see each other as soon as possible.
'Where should we go this time?
Her apartment again?
Or should I book a room in hotel?
But she'll think I have lewd intention if I invited her to spend o
[Can we meet tonight?] The message Celine has sent to Seungcheol was received and seen. Three minutes have passed. She checked her phone from time to time but there's still no sign of any reply. Knowing his personality, Celine guessed that it could be because he's busy in work. Yet she can't help but to feel distress over a simple matter. She loosened her grip on her phone and rested the back of her hands on her lap. A sigh slipped from her lips before she looked outside the window and adored the sunset. It came as a settled heart to the horizon, as if the sky itself could speak of love. The orange fold stretches far and wide, like fire and tangerines. She rested her forehead on the windowsill, allowing the little bump of the glass and her head as the car moves, and let the warm caresses her skin. Celine felt feverish as the dawn's light dazzled on her face, but she was energized. It's even funny when she thought that the sunlight would give her the vitamin D when it
"Then before you take your shower, come here. Let's have a quick practice." Wonwoo pulled her wrist and let her stood in front of him. "Hey!" She protested. Her pitiful eyes pored to Minghao, as if their asking for his help. However, she shouldn't forget the command she uttered to Minghao a few days ago. [ If I ever begged you to help me escape from my training, then don't you ever help me. Even if I cried, ignore me.] Minghao treasures loyalty the most. So just like her request, he didn't entertain her puppy-like stare. He looked away, both hands behind his back that made him looks polite. 'Thisfreak!'Celine secretly spits curse at her supple servant. "Now stop blaming an innocent freak," Wonwoo both defended and mocked Minghao while he handled her the balance knife that is generally best for beginners like her. "Look at the target and focus." Celine exhaled sharply before she set her eyes on the wood tar
I had a plan of meeting Joshua so I could share the information about Junhui's attendant, Hoshi. But because the Wen's heir came to me and asked to hide his subordinate's identity, that plan was put down. So instead of meeting Joshua, I decided to see Seungcheol with the only purpose of talking about Almond. Sure, I can also talk about this to Joshua. But among them, I wanted to discuss the situation to Seungcheol first, since he is the reason why Almond went so mad after knowing the truth. I took a deep breath while standing in front of my old apartment's door. Minghao reassured that he'll stay at the parking lot and told me that I can take my time. Even so, it's not polite to keep him waiting, therefore I'll make it quick. I prepared myself enough so that if I see Seungcheol's face, I can suppress the feeling of longing to hold him again. To be honest, it is hard to move on from the memories of the night we passionately shared together. I am, actually, looking forward for
Warning: This episode contains mature contents. Read at your own risk. ---- Time check, 00:00:10. Ten seconds have passed since Seungcheol started the timer. Without wasting any second, his lips kissed the top of head, inhaling her alluring scent. "I will start with kisses," he whispered before he grabbed the back of her neck to kiss her cheeks. Celine blushed as his kisses travelled on its own to her jaw and settled on her neck. It is not because she's shy, rather, it was because of how skillful his tongue when he's swirling the hardened tip on her skin and on the edge of her collarbone. She is still sitting on the table when Seungcheol bend down and lifted his head to look at her. The passion in his eyes felt so raw, primal and parable that just like every single time he stared at her that way, her skin would tingle. Before coming here, she had hard time choosing which clothes t
Thankfully, Celine can change her undergarments because they are at her old apartment. Seungcheol has his pants and he can go even if he feels a little sticky underneath. After fixing themselves, they were ready to come out. They exceeded the 30 minutes promise they made with Minghao but it's okay. A little minute won't hurt. As they were walking towards the door, Seungcheol's phone rings. He wondered if it is Minghao who fell bored while waiting but when he saw the name on the phone screen, he found out that it isn't who he expected. Celine saw his agitated expression, the furrowing of his brows and the pursing of his lips. Though she's dying to know who's the reason behind his flurry, Celine quietly waited on the side. "Joshua is calling," Seungcheol finally shared. For Celine, who still has an unfinished business with Joshua since the night he kissed her, there's a reason to feel unsettle. But she can't guess why Seungcheol made that reaction, unless he fo
Celine’s POV Hands behind his back like an old man, Joshua roamed around my apartment. His curious eyes observed each corner as if he's taking a tea time in the museum. He holds no anxiousness, unlike what he had during our last meeting. Then I bet, it was only me who was so agitated to meet him again. However, while I looked at him right now, all of my anxiety went gone. I suddenly remembered those past few days when I worried too much about bumping into him by chance. A lot of excuse was made or about to make just to avoid our next encounter. Funny enough, they were all futile. Otherwise, I won't be this comfortable while he's present. 'Or maybe I was fooling myself because I'm too nervous?' They said human body and emotions are mysterious that sometimes, you think opposite of your true feelings? For example, when your adrenaline rushes, it will create a defensive mechanism which will help you win against the hurdle.
After the nosy landlady of the apartment building left, Joshua, Celine, Jeonghan and Seungcheol sat altogether around the sofa set. Minghao stood behind Celine while Eugene positioned himself near Joshua's solo couch. Somehow, they can't start the emergency meeting because of this certain person —the one who pretended to be a gay and even brought the other men with his antics. Three pairs of eyes glared at Eugene. Joshua is sitting against him so he cannot see his expression; however, Eugene is sure that Joshua shares the same sentiment with the others. So even if no one is asking, he began to explain himself, "I am sorry, everyone." Silence was dead dropped. Though he harshly received their cold reactions, he still continued: "I just thought that it would be bad if miss Celine's neighbors started to spread rumors about her. So playing gay is the only excuse that went in my mind at that moment. Ha ha ha ha ha~" Seeing that no one responded at his expl
Wintry wind blew Joshua's hair into artistic swirls. The brilliant rays of sunlight conspired with the white clouds to barely let it through. In the long horizon, the clouds take on silver hues, those deeper graphite tones. At the elevated deck, there presents the three leaders of HongYoonChoi's organization who are on their seats while watching the participants of this year paintball event. Joshua took the center seat, Kloper at his right side and Groid at his left. Just last year, it was Joshua's father who played the role of being the judge along with the second and third leader. Now, it's his turn. There will be a day when Jeonghan and Seungcheol will join him side by side, and Joshua already imagined it as he watched his two friends on the wide field. The two are in the middle of wearing their gears: bandanas, elbow and knee pads, gloves and athletic supporter. 'It's finally the day,'Joshua reminded himself inwardly. He looked at the huge
