CHAPTER 5
*At some café in downtown
“You insisted to come to this café is their dessert that good?” I asked as I looked around the café.
“Yes! They serve the most delicious desserts” he answered happily.
When I suggested desserts, my idea was a five star hotel kinda desserts not at a downtown dessert shop.
Plus I honestly don’t like sweet things but I like this delicious looking person infront of my eyes.
I picked up the menu and everything there was traditional Korean desserts. I looked at him and his eyes were lighting up.
I should have known that he only likes traditional Korean sweets and that is why he insisted on coming here.
“Is there anything in particular you’d like?” he asked me excitedly anticipating my response.
“Anything that suits your taste, let me call the waitress for you” I said as I called.
“What would you like to order?” the waitress asked.
“Songpyeon, sujeonggwa, yakgwa, bukkumi and dasik, and what about hyung?”
“uhh what about me?” I thought he was ordering for both of us.
Is he going to eat all that? “Just give me some plain coffee please”.
He stood up and leaned towards me “Hyung this café is very cheap, you can order anything you want no need to restrain yourself” he whispered
Is he really telling me that? Haha Let me tease him a bit.
“Am short on cash today Jee-min can you afford to pay for me too?”
“Yes hyung! I just got paid” he said eagerly while showing me an envelope.
“Okay my dear dongsaeng” I chuckled.
(T: N: Dongsaeng is what older males address their young male friends as)
“Can I have dasik please and two cups of coffees” I ordered.
“Don’t you like sweet things hyung?”
“Yes and sweet people regardless of gender, I love them all” after I said this Jee-min gazed at me and his face turned red.
Just then the waitress “If that’s all I will take my leave now” and left.
I forgot that she was still around.
“Hyung”
“Yes”
“Why was the waitress smiling at you only I don’t even know if she took down correctly what I ordered” he mumbled
“She did if she didn’t we can complain and maybe get a discount”
“Can we do that?” he asked with a big smile.
I nodded, “Really? Let’s do that then” he chuckled.
The waitress is taking too long, I checked the time and looked at her.
She and another person were whispering while looking at the phone. They noticed me staring and turned their back at me and continued with what they were doing.
Guess it’s time to go grab the desserts and leave.
“Wait here Jee-min” I stood up and walked to the two of them.
“Can I have our order to go?” I asked the two.
They seemed startled, “Oi… uhh we almost done sir you can just wait for your order”.
“Do I look like I want to wait?” I glared at them “if you don’t give me my order to go in 20s I will bury this café in a minute”.
“Am going back to my table, that order better follow me” I said this with a stiff expression.
I turned around and headed back to the table, I could hear them saying.
“Wow that was scarily, it was like seeing the real thing from the magazine and now I know why he’s called the Sexy Demon king”.
“You know he was smiling earlier when he was sitting with that boy”.
“Really?”
“Yes, I guess the boy’s special”
Don’t guess of course Jee-min’s special.
I got to my table and sat down.
Jee-min looked at me and asked “Hyung, what did they say about our order?”
“It’s coming”. And shortly after saying this, the order came.
“We didn’t order takeout”, confusedly said Jee-min.
“I did” I said and carried the dessert bags and was about to exit the café when one of the waitress approached me.
“Uhh… Sir Can we get a photo with you?”
This always happens when you go to cheap cafés they always want pictures to post on their blogs.
“A picture hyung?! I also want to be on that picture” said Jee-min excitedly.
“Okay” I agreed to take a picture because Jee-min looked happy and wanted to take one.
“Sir… I just want with… you Mr Chang” she hesitantly said.
“Oh… It’s okay hyung, let me get the bags you’ll find me outside” he said with a disappointed look.
I grabbed his hand firmly and turned to the waitress, “If he won’t be on the picture neither will I”.
She looked displeased but gave in. She called the other friend and they took multiple photos.
One of them came forward, “Can you please take a picture of us and Mr Chang?” she asked Jee-min who accepted almost immediately.
They each grabbed one of my hands and posed.
“Let go!” I yelled with my usual expressionless face.
They immediately let go and were trembling. Jee-min was also shocked and stared at me oddly.
“Jee-min did you take the photo already?” I asked him.
He looked at the screen and said, “Uhh… Yes hyung”.
“Okay let’s leave”. I grabbed the phone from him and handed it to the waitress. I grabbed him by the hand and dragged him out of there.
It was around 9pm, when we got in the car.
He looked at the time and yelled, “Oi! It’s so late hyung, I need to go now, It’s way past the curfew”.
I forgot that he was a student, “Don’t you work till late?”
“I do”.
“How do you go back to your dorm after late night work?”
“Noona’s boyfriend sneaks me in”.
Oh that noona again, why she always in everything he says?
“Jee-min… Since I was the one who uhh…. invited you out and made you miss your curfew…”.
Should I say my thoughts out loud? If I say this he might think am weird and run away.
First meeting inviting someone over, is it okay on the first meeting to do that?
“If it’s okay with you…. Uhh… you can come and stay at my place” I said it while crossing my fingers and closed eyes.
I opened my eyes and Jee-min’s face was bright red. Let me say something before he does.
“Uhh… Jee-min if you don’t want too I can take you to your dorm or we can stay at a hotel”.
Did I just say hotel? Am I ever going to shut up? I tend to talk too much whenever am with him.
“Ahuhhh…. Hyung if it’s not too much trouble, I would like to take you up on your offer” he said.
“Really?!” I exclaimed.
“Uh yes… Plus we should hurry so we can eat all this”, He said as he shook the bags containing the desserts.
“Do you have classes tomorrow?”
“No, hyung why’d you ask?”
“Nothing”, I started the car and we drove off to my place.
As we drove in the premises of my property Jee-min’s face froze.
He turned to me, “Wow… uhh hyung you live in the out skirts of town?”
“No, this is just a family home. It’s not my place, I stay near the bar you met me at”.
“Oh! then we are neighbors since it’s near the university”
So, he was this close the entire time and we didn’t meet, what stupid games was fate playing on us?
“Yes, you should visit sometimes” I suggested
“Uhh hyung then why didn’t we go there?”
“You said you had no class tomorrow, so I thought of bringing you to the place I grew up”
“This place must be special to you then”.
“Yes it is, let’s go in” I said as I stepped out of the car and so did he.
We got out of the car and headed inside.
“Hyung is anyone here aside from us Jee-min asked.
“No” I straightaway responded.
“What of your family? You said it’s a family home”.
“It is… ”.
“Then where’s your family?” he asked while looking around.
That’s a good question where is my family? My dad died when I was still in university in the states and granddad went on a wrong trip around the world.
Mother, Ms. Kim is always busy with her things since the time I took over the position of CEO, we fought over almost everything.
She just monitors me from afar, controls me and the company indirectly.
“Uhh… lets freshen up first I will tell you later, let me show you where you’ll be staying”.
I took him upstairs and showed him his room. The room was my old room and I told him to use anything he wanted.
*Minutes later
“Hyung” Jee min called.
“Yes”, I was setting the table and I turned towards where his voice was coming from.
He was coming down the stairs wearing my shirt and only his boxers.
“Uhh hyung… your… your clothes are too big for me”, he stammered.
I looked at him and yes they were big. I am 180cm tall and I had a larger build than his
Jee-min looked like he was about 173cm tall but his build was smaller than mine.
***SNEAK PEEK AT NEXT CHAPTER***
I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards me.
Our lips were an inch apart, I stared in his eyes and his pale white skin and rosy lips.
