Lee Jin Ho had straigthen his back from the driver seat when he saw a car exiting the Tan Mansion. A woman on a white sunday dress alighted from it when the car stopped beside his car. She looks so delicate on her off-shoulder dress and the lights coming from the ray of sunlight made her more like an angel sent from above. No doubt, the woman approaching his car is really beautiful and he was mesmerised. It took him awhile before he collected himself from the daze and alighted from his car to open the pa.s.senger seat door for her. When Tan Ja Nin saw him, she was also quite impressed on the way he look. He was wearing a white polos.h.i.+rt and a khaki pants and it made him look less intimidating too.
She smiled as she thanked him for opening the door for her. She buckled herself up and settled at the pa.s.senger seat.
"How do you feel now?" Lee Jin Ho started the conversation after he settled in at the driver seat.
"Not quite good. Still have hangover tho."
"You seems quite had a goodtime last night." Said Lee Jin Ho as he ignited the car and started driving.
"We have not seen each other for awhile so why not had a goodtime."
"Yes, that"s okay to have a goodtime with your friends every once in awhile, but please have somone pick you up at the location if you cannot handle your self to go back home to your apartment. You"re beautiful and some men might take advantage of your situation and will take you into someone"s bachelor"s pad instead." Lee Jin Ho made a pregnant pause and continued "Just like I did"
Tan Ja Nin bowed her head and felt sorry for herself.
What impression does Lee Jin Ho had for her? Did he take her as a woman with no moral. A woman who can easily engaged on a one night stand?
But he took her first time. He of all people should know that she was pure when he bed her.
"Let"s not talk about it anymore, please"
"Sorry for bringing that up. I just wanted you to be more cautious next time. And..."
"...."
"And call me if Tan Ji Nan won"t be available to pick you up!"
Tan Ja Nin did not reply.
Lee Jin Ho did not say anything else too.
Tension filled the car.
.....
"Hey! Are we heading outside the city?" Tan Ja Nin said when she noticed that Lee Jin Ho took exit to the freeway.
"You said to take you to my favorite restaurant"
"So is it located outside the city?"
"Uhm, but it"s not that far. We can reach our destination in an hour"
Tan Ja Nin nodded. Good thing she had a good breakfast with Ho Min Lin earlier so she wasn"t hungry yet.
"Make sure to fill your self up later. I think you lose some weight since the last time I saw you. Are you on a diet?"
"No, I was hospitalized for almost a week."
Lee Jin Ho was surprised. "What happened!" he asked in a concern voice.
"It was such a bad event and I don"t feel like talking about it."
Lee Jin Ho nodded and did not ask for more details.
He doesn"t want to force Tan Ja Nin if she doesn"t want to share it with him because it was something personal.
They never reached to that level, yet!
.....
Tan Ja Nin was impressed when they reached their destination. The place that Lee Jin Ho brought her was spectacular it was located uphill and from where she stood, she could see the whole city in 360 degrees.
"Wow! This place is really nice!" She said with full admiration on her voice.
"Do you like it?"
"Uhm. Do you always go this place?"
"If I have time, yes!"
"How come I didn"t know this place"
"This place isn"t open for public."
"Oh, so you are friends with the owner?"
"Our family own the place."
"Oh, wow!"
"This isn"t a restaurant too. It is more of a hangout place for our family whenever we have get together and we"re tired with all the city bustle."
"Did you also bring Tan Ji Nan here and the rest of the boys?"
"Nope, aside from our family, you"re the only person I brought here."
"Ooh" Tan Ja Nin was too surprised to know and her face suddenly turned crimson.
"Let"s go inside. It past 12 already and you must be hungry now."
Tan Ja Nin nodded.
.....
"Jin Ho!" A man on his early "50s welcomed Jin Ho with a smile. "It"s been a while since the last time you went here." He said and his gaze went directly to Tan Ja Nin. "Oh, so you brought your girlfriend here!"
Tan Ja Nin"s face blushed again.
"No, uncle I am just a friend!"
The man smiled at her but his expression was that of a man who did not believe her.
"Uncle, This is Ja Nin" Lee Jin Ho introduced her plainly.
"Hi, Ja Nin, I am the care taker of this place. You can call me Uncle Jing!"
"Nice to meet you Uncle Jing!"
"How do you find this place? I"ve been taking good care of this place since I was on my mid 20s"
"I love it here uncle. You were good in maintaining this"
"I"ve been maintaining this place even before Lee Jin Ho was born!"
"Wow so how old is this place now, uncle? "
"Almost 30 years old!"
"Woah!"
Lee Jin Ho was staring at the woman in front of him and found out that she was so easy to impress with.
"Suit yourself here!" Uncle Jing told her. "This is Jin Ho"s favorite spot here"
The table was at the far left corner of the place and from there, she can still got a glance of the city view.
Uncle Jing excused himself and went back to the kitchen to inform the helpers to prepare their meal.
She look around and everything about the place was beautiful. The exterior was a magnifient view and the interior design was superb too. The place was a picturesque in every turn.
And when her gaze landed to the man sitting in front of her, his handsome face gave her a homey feeling too.
