She's The Boss

14.

The next day… . .

The DBSK boys were already finished with their scheduled activities for the day. It was already passed 7 o' clock in the evening, and they were already starving. They were walking to their apartment unit when Max suddenly remembered something.

"Hyung… . isn't Lena supposed to move in today?" Max asked Jaejoong.

Jaejoong stared at Max. He had totally forgotten about Lena. They were all very busy that he forgot that she was moving in that day.

"Yes… . I think so… . But why are you asking?" Jaejoong asked.

"Aren't we going to help her… . or just simply drop by to say hi?" Max asked again with a smile. The real reason why he wanted to go to Lena's apartment was because he was hoping that she already had cooked dinner. And that once they came to her place, she would eventually asked them to eat dinner with her.

"Yeah… . Let's drop by her place and help her out," Micky said.

Jaejoong just nodded. His heart started to beat very fast as soon as his friends started to walk to Lena's apartment.

Max rang the door bell. He was very excited to see Lena again.

Within minutes… . the door suddenly opened and the DBSK boys' mouths suddenly dropped open with shock.

Lena was the one who opened the door. She was wearing a very skimpy shorts and a sleeveless body hugging shirt. Her long black hair was also loose, which added more attraction to her already voluptuous figure. She was totally very sexy… . and the boys couldn't deny it.

At that moment… . Jaejoong wanted to cover all of his friends' eyes. He didn't want them to look at Lena with such desire in their eyes.

"Hello… ." Lena greeted them warmly.

Somehow all the DBSK boys snapped out of their trance. Then they all smiled at Lena.

"Hi… . so you have already moved in? We dropped by to ask if you needed any help," Max said.

"Oh!… . That's so sweet… . But we've already finished unpacking my things… . Have you guys had dinner yet? We're about to eat… . Would you like to join us?" Lena said with a sweet smile.

"Yes… .sure," Max immediately replied. He was very happy that his plan had actually worked.

The DBSK boys entered Lena's apartment. And just like she said, all the boxes in the living room were already empty.

"So who's helping you?" Jaejoong asked Lena.

Then a voice suddenly called out from one of the rooms.

"Lena… . . where do I put the new cookbooks you bought?"

Lena looked at the direction where the voice came from.

"Just put it near the computer… . Oh… . we have guests," she shouted as well.

"Guests?"

Daichi suddenly came out of the room.

"Oh! It's you guys… . We're about to have dinner. Would you guys like to join us?" he asked with a smile.

"They've already said yes… ." Lena answered.

"Oh… . I'll just go and clean myself up first," Daichi said as he immediately walked into a room.

Jaejoong's eyes followed Daichi as he entered another room. He had a feeling it was Lena's room. And somehow his heart started aching again.

"Come on… . Let's eat," Lena said to the DBSK boys as she led them to the dining room.

Max's face suddenly lit up with delight as soon as he saw the different kinds of foods on the table.

"Are you guys having a feast?" Micky asked jokingly.

"How many people are helping you out exactly?" Xiah suddenly asked Lena.

"Huh? How many people? Daichi and I are the only ones here," Lena answered with a confused reaction on her face.

"Really?" Max asked.

"Why do you ask?" Lena asked.

"Because the amount of food you prepared is good enough to feed more than twelve people," Jaejoong answered.

"Oh… . you see… . Daichi isn't used to eating only one kind of food. He's accustomed to eating several different kinds of dishes every time he eats. So I prepared ten different dishes to satisfy his taste," she explained.

"And do you think you can actually eat all of this?" Micky asked while staring at the table filled with dishes.

Lena laughed. "No… . of course not. I can always store the leftovers and eat it tomorrow."

"Oh… ." Micky uttered.

"Come on… . Let's all eat… . Sit down," Lena said with a smile.

The DBSK boys all sat down at the table, big enough for ten people.

After several minutes, Daichi finally appeared. He had already taken a quick shower and had already changed his clothes.

"Let's eat… ." he happily announced. He had immediately picked different kinds of foods and had started to eat.

The DBSK boys were feeling awkward at first. They felt a little bit uneasy being with Daichi.

"Why aren't you guys eating? Don't you like Lena's cooking?" Daichi asked as he noticed that the DBSK boys haven't started eating.

"Why? Don't you guys like the foods I prepared? What do you want? Just tell me… . I can always cook it for you," Lena said with a smile.

"No… no… . the food is just fine… . It's just… . we feel a little bit uneasy… . Aren't we disturbing you guys?" U-Know asked.

"Disturbing?… . . Who?… . .Us?" Lena asked as she looked at Daichi. Then she suddenly smiled again.

Daichi stared at Lena and then at the DBSK boys. "You're not disturbing… . don't worry. There's nothing to disturb… . anyway," he said with a laugh. "You guys should start eating… . or else… . Lena will start crying about how you don't like her cooking… ." he said again while he laughed.

"Hey… . I'm not going to cry… ." Lena said to Daichi.

The DBSK boys somehow finally felt at ease after hearing Daichi teased Lena. Max immediately picked out several different dishes. Micky and U-Know just watched with total amazement as Max happily gulped down the food he was eating. Xiah and Jaejoong just smiled and shook their heads after watching how fast Max ate his food and was serving another set.

Lena happily looked at the DBSK boys. She was very happy after seeing that they liked the different dishes she prepared.

"Lena… ." Daichi suddenly uttered.

"What?" she asked as she suddenly stopped eating and looked at Daichi.

"Do you think you can handle the arranging on your own now?" Daichi asked.

"Why?" she asked again.

"Well… . I have to go and meet up with some of my friends at a club," Daichi answered honestly.

"Oh… . I see… . Well, don't worry. I can take care of the remaining work. Just go… . Don't worry about me… . So who are you going to meet? Anyone I know?" she asked with a smile.

"An old friend from the United States arrived this morning. He wants me and some other friends to have a drink with him at a club," Daichi answered.

"Oh… . you're not bringing me along?' she suddenly asked.

Daichi suddenly smiled. "No… . I'm not bringing you along. I know you're quite tired already. And I know you'll just become uncomfortable once you see my friends."

"Huh? Uncomfortable? Why? What do you mean?" Lena asked as if somewhat confused.

Daichi laughed. "The friends I am meeting are my friends during my wild days… . Frankly… . I don't want you to meet them today because they've already set up specific girls to be our dates." Daichi answered honestly again.

Lena suddenly stopped eating and looked at Daichi. "Oh… . I see… . So you're going on a date… . . Well, good luck with your date."

The DBSK boys were all shocked with what they heard. They couldn't believe that Daichi had told Lena that he was going on a date with another girl, as if it was nothing. But what shocked the boys the most was Lena's reaction. Somehow she didn't even care that her fiancee was going out with another woman.

Jaejoong looked at Daichi. He was already very angry with him. He didn't like the way Daichi was treating Lena.

"Why are you still going out with the other girls when you already have a fiancee? And how could you possibly just tell her that you're going out with another woman? Don't you think that's too unacceptable?" he asked irritatedly.

Daichi suddenly stared at Jaejoong. He could see the anger in his eyes. He suddenly smiled.

Lena suddenly became alarmed. She also saw the angry look on Jaejoong's face. Somehow she felt happy that he cared for her. But she saw knew it was only because she was his friend… . and nothing more.

"Jaejoong… ." Lena uttered.

Jaejoong stared at Lena. He saw the worried look in her eyes. Somehow this helped to calm his emotions down.

"Jaejoong… . There is still a lot of things you need to know about me and Daichi… ." Lena softly said.

"Like what?" Jaejoong asked.

"Like… . the fact that we are only together because our parents set us up… ." Lena weakly answered.

The DBSK boys were all shocked with what they heard. They couldn't believe that they would actually encounter someone who was in an arranged marriage set-up. It was already very uncommon for young people like them to actually accept such an arrangement.

Daichi saw the different reactions that the DBSK boys had. He suddenly felt that it was time for him to leave. He knew that Lena needed to talk with the DBSK boys alone. He immediately stood up and walked to where Lena was sitting.

"Well… . I need to go now… .Lena… . Remember to make sure that the doors are locked when you go to sleep okay? I won't be able to come by later tonight… . I think I will be out till morning… . So I won't be able to call you also… . " Daichi said as he took Lena's hand and gently squeezed it.

Jeajoong's heart was feeling pain as he silently watched the scene before him.

"It's okay… . Enjoy your date… " she said with a smile.

"Thanks… . If you suddenly have any problem… . Don't hesitate to call me okay?" Daichi said sweetly.

"Okay… . don't worry. Jaejoong is just next door so I can easily go to him if I need help with something… . " she answered.

"I know… . Oh! Before I forget…" Daichi suddenly left the dining room and after a few minutes returned holding an envelope. He immediately gave it to Lena.

Lena, on the other hand, looked at the envelope with curiosity. "What's this?" she asked.

"Open it," Daichi replied with a smile.

Lena curiously looked into the envelope. Inside it, she found a credit card and a large amount of money. She suddenly looked at Daichi with a confused expression on her face.

"What is the meaning of this? You know I have my own money," she asked again with irritation as she placed the money and the credit on the table.

The DBSK boys' eyes suddenly widened as soon as they saw the large amount of money that was set on the table. They all estimated that it would amount to at least more than a million yen.

"First of all… . I know how you hate it when I give you money to buy things… . So I wouldn't even dare to give you those… ." Daichi answered with a worried look on his face.

"Really? Then who sent these?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Mother… . sent those. She said to tell you that if you get bored and don't have anything to do… . You can go shopping… and buy whatever you want. The card has no limit, so you can basically buy anything if you want… . even a sports car if you want," Daichi said with a light laugh.

"A sports car? As if I would want one… . ." Lena said with a pout.

Daichi laughed again. "You're really very different with all the girls I have been with. If the other girls I had before received that kind of amount and that card, they would all be dancing with joy by now."

"Well… . I am not one of your girls before… . so I can certainly be different if I want to," Lena replied.

Daichi laughed again. "Sometimes I wonder how I will be able to handle you once you become my wife. You're too opinionated about everything. I think I am going to have a headache almost everyday… . "

"That's easy… . Then don't marry me… ." Lena said with a smile.

"What? My mother would totally disown me if I didn't marry you," Daichi replied with a laugh.

'Well… . as if my parents wouldn't disown me too if I didn't marry you. We're stuck in the same boat remember?" she said sadly.

The DBSK boys suddenly sympathized with Lena. They all could see that she wasn't happy with her situation and was just being forced.

"I have to go Lena… ." Daichi said again after looking at his watch.

Lena stared at Daichi and just nodded. "Okay… . Take care… . Be careful while you're driving."

"Yes… . don't worry… . You be careful here as well okay… ." Daichi said sweetly again.

"Yes… ." she answered.

"Bye… ." Daichi then lovingly kissed Lena on her forehead.

Jaejoong's heart suddenly pounded wildly as soon as he saw Daichi kiss Lena. Even if it was only on her forehead… . he was still aching badly… .
