warning: vulgar words and violence ⚠️
"WHAT IS she doing here?" Roselle asked as soon as they arrived in her apartment.
Ian dropped his car keys and sat on the coach, leaning his back "She's on vacation, for a month"
"Here in Seoul? Why not in Jeju?" Roselle grabbed a glass of water from the kitchen.
"Why not? She wants to hang out with you" Ian removed his wrist watch looking over Roselle's frowning brows "Aren't you two close?"
Roselle avoided his glance and drink the water instead, not responding to his question "I'll take a shower"
Roselle kept sighing as water gushed down her body. Why is Jessie here suddenly? She don't get it, it's been years since they met and communicated.
Roselle grabbed her black robe and wrapped it on her body, grabbing another towel for her hair.
She's very drain, from work and from all that happened today. She don't want to stress herself with Jessie so she decided to set aside the thinking of it for now.
Roselle opened the bathroom door to her room when she saw Ian sitting on her bed, wearing a black shirt and a sweat pants.
She stopped her way out, surprised to his presence "Why are you here?"
Ian stood up and walked towards her, she step back consciously "Why not?"
"What do you mean?" Roselle raised her hand to stop Ian from getting more closer.
"I missed you" Ian held her hand off him and pulled her closer to him.
Ian's other hand snaked around her waist with a smirk on his face. His other hand left her hand and touched her face softly.
"Just go back to Jeju, you don't have to work" Ian whispered, his eyes roaming her face.
Roselle tried her best to avoid meeting his eyes by looking side way but Ian just pulled her back to face him.
"We already talk about this, this isn't just work. This is my dream" Roselle removed his hand away from her face.
Ian scoffed "Then work with me, you can handle my business"
Roselle was taken a back because she knows deep inside her she isn't here for her dream work only anymore, but for other reason.
"I don't want to. If you want to tie me forever, as well free me for a while"
Ian didn't respond, he stared at her trying to read her which made her conscious "And what? Let you play with some guys? Is that it Rosie?"
"I already told you I'm sorry" She whisper-shouted.
"You know what I'm capable of Rosie, blood burst when I find out you're cheating on me again" Ian gritted as he stormed out of her room.
Roselle was left glaring at her door.
She picked her phone on the side table, no message. She sighed, what is she expecting?
°°°
IT WAS afternoon the next day when Roselle saw Euna walking inside the office with the usual lunch box. She threw a glance at Justin but he didn't look at her and instead stood up to go to Euna.
They haven't talked about the other day and yesterday, it's making her guiltier.
Her phone chimed from a text message from Ian.
From: Ian
Meet me outside, let's grab lunch together. I'll go back home tonight.
She felt relieved reading the last words, at last she will be free again. She looked back to the other people in the office, but regretted seeing Euna feeding Justin.
"I'll go home tonight" Ian stated glancing at her. She didn't say a word and continue eating "Are you happy?"
"Mwo?" Roselle looked at his deadly eyes.
Ian just smirked and shook his head as he continued eating. Only the clanking of their utensils was heard, Ian didn't speak again.
She went back to the office after, she saw Justin busy on his laptop. He didn't even glance on her when she opened the door.
"Sir you have a scheduled meeting at 2:00 P.M." She softly uttered.
Justin didn't glance at her and just said "Okay"
It was almost 2 when he stood up, grabbing his suit. She immediately grabbed her things to follow him.
All of the staffs are already there, Justin sat down after greeting all of them.
She was about to sat next to his chair when he suddenly cleared his voice "You can stand behind, I have a visitor"
Roselle stopped midway and just stepped back with no other choice. Justin looked over his wrist watch and then his mom came in.
The people stood up to greet her and bows their heads "Let's start"
Mrs. Kim saw her, she gave her a sweet small smile and she responded it with a bow before she sat next to her son.
The meeting ended shortly. Mrs. Kim introduced a new product which was her suggested designs for women her age. It was an interesting meeting for they usually design modern type of furniture or minimal.
"I got to go now son" Mrs. Kim hugged Justin in his office "Thank you"
Justin just nodded and then Mrs. Kim looked her way "Ms. Park, how are you?"
She awkwardly smile seeing Justin looked their way "I'm fine Mrs. Jeon"
"That's great, hope you're not having difficulties with my son" Mrs. Kim looked at Justin with malice. The latter just arched his brows to his mom's comment.
"I'm not madam" Mrs. Kim looked at her and then give her a pat on her shoulders before she walked out of the office.
Just after the sound of the closing door, Justin spoke "Are you free now?"
She looked his way and sigh "Not until tonight, he'll go back to Jeju tonight"
Justin stood up and grabbed his bag "Okay, next time then"
Roselle just looked at him walking his way out "Sir, you're going home now?"
"Yeah. You can go home now too, I have a personal appointment" He said after he stormed out.
Roselle was left heaving a sigh.

"WAEGURAE?" Tyron asked seeing Justin staring blankly on the floor. They're at the bar but it seems like he's not here to have fun.
Justin suddenly looked at him all serious making him startled "Ya! What is it? Why are you so serious?"
Justin's brow furrowed "Ani ... There's this woman"
"Which woman? You got tons dude, I don't know who you're talking about" Taehyung said, eyes searching in the sea of people.
"Dad's secretary"
What he said made Tyron looked his way "Ya! Your dad will kill you, you can't touch his employees dude"
"That's what I'm saying, but I already touched it before I even knew that she's my dad's secretary"
"Then just forget it, it happened before you know"
"That's the problem" Justin looked at the confuse Tyron with a problematic eyes "I had a contract with her"
"What contract?"
"We have this arrangement to use each other for lust"
Taehyung's brow arched "You mean, you two are f**k buddies?" Tyron shook his head as he grabbed for his glass of beer "You just made it sound so classy"
"Kundi (But) ... she's getting married soon"
Tyron's eyes almost bulge out of it's socket "Ya!" he swallowed the lump on his throat "Heul! This is not you JK"
Two familiar girls walked towards them, Tyron gave them a flirty smile. One of the girls sat on Taehyung's lap and the other girl sat next to Justin.
"Stop it already dude! I know you love playing games and that's an interesting game right there but it's too risky" Tyron looked at him all serious "Pull out"
"Should I?" Justin asked back.
"Do you want to? Or don't tell me, it's too late to pull out already?" Tyron looked at him suspiciously.
"Molla" Justin whispered, he looked at the woman's hand crawling on his chest. The woman gave him a lustful smile, but he didn't respond.
°°°
RIGHT AFTER Roselle arrived, she immediately crawled on her bed. She's drained, luckily Ian was nowhere the apartment when she arrived.
Not long enough, she was already sound asleep. She don't care where Ian goes, thinking he's going home tonight is enough for her to be relieved.
The night was deep and Roselle was still sleeping when she felt kisses on her neck, not wanting to wake up but she still did.
She saw Ian above her with alcohol scent all over him "Ian" she whispered, slightly pushing him away.
"I'm going home tonight, just let me" Ian whispered back, stopping her hand from pushing him.
"No, I'm tired" She kept pushing her back he was too strong he didn't move an inch away "Please, I don't want this"
Hearing what she said made Ian stopped, he looked at her with blazing eyes "You slut!" He cursed grabbing her jaws "You can't say no to me!"
Tears beaming on her eyes because of the pain on her jaw but she still meet Ian's angry eyes and gritting teeth "Please, I just don't want it now"
"Then when?! I've been waiting for you for so long!" Ian shouted between gritted teeth.
"After wedding, please I'm willing to give myself after the wedding" She pleaded, even if she don't meant it. She just want to be away from his hold.
Ian glared at her and then freed her jaw "Make sure you're pure and whole that day or I'll kill you"
Ian walked out of her room, she forgot to lock her room earlier. Now she's not only gonna wait for the worst day of her life now, she'll be waiting for her last day too.
She sat on her bed fixing her unbuttoned pajama top, she glared on the door. If only she can just run away from him, she'll surely do. But she don't want her parents to get harm, knowing Ian, he'll use her parents against her.
She stepped out of her room and saw Ian pulling his luggage "Stay safe" motherfucker. She wanna utter so much.
Ian looked at her, he signaled her to come close to him. Even if she don't want to, she don't want to add the stinging pain on her jaw anymore.
"I'll be checking on you" Ian stated reaching for her hand, she just let him.
"How about Jessie?" She asked remembering his sister who just arrived in Seoul.
"She planned on staying in Seoul at the moment, she'll just visit me in Jeju. You have to tag along when she does"
She just nodded to not put an argument on it. Ian gave her a small smile before pulling her face to kiss her but she avoided it sideway.
Ian frowned "Don't be too greedy woman, I just want a kiss"
Ian forcefully pulled her face towards him and kissed her. She didn't responded even if he's almost eating her lips. He even left a bite making it blood a bit.
"See you soon" He muttered pinching her chin slightly.
All the sighs and curses she hid went out as soon as he disappeared " byeong sin saekki! (jerk) "
Her phone chimed, making her looked on it .
From: Mr. Justin
Are you free now? Tell me you are, I'm on my way to your apartment.
She furrowed her brows "Right now?" she whispered.
Well, she don't mind though. The monster's away already.
