Crashing Into You

"Where are you going?" Lee Jin Ho frowned.

"I"ll cook dinner. Aren"t you hungry?" Tan Ja Nin answered. 

"I"ll already had my fill!" Said Lee Jin Ho, teasingly. 

Tan Ja Nin hissed "Gangster!" She picked up a pillow then thrown it to Lee Jin Ho!

Lee Jin Ho chuckled and raised his hands to block off the pillow. 

Tan Ja Nin curled up her lips when she strode off. 

.....

The next day, Tan Ja Nin woke up at 5AM to prepare Lee Jin Ho"s breakfast. She tried to taste the congee that she was cooking and she couldn"t help but smile when it tastes good.

"Let me taste it too." Tan Ja Nin was shocked when she heard Lee Jin Ho"s voice from behind. He tucked in his chin into her shoulder and put his arms around her waist. 

Lee Jin Ho"s warm breath made all the hair on her nape stands up. She picked up a small amount of congee and moved her body in 180 degree to feed it to Lee Jin Ho.

"It"s good. You are now ready to be a housewife!" Lee Jin Ho said and made an okay sign. 

Tan Ja Nin face suddenly blushed. A housewife? She knew that Lee Jin Ho was just teasing her but why does it gave her a sudden excitement and started imagining things. A sudden chills made her back into  reality. 

"I"ll prepare the table now." She said. 

"Uhm. Let me help you." Lee Jin Ho offered. 

....

"Do you have a workshop schedule today?" Lee Jin Ho asked Tan Ja Nin while they were having a breakfast. 

"Uhm."

"Whole day?"

"Nope. Up until 12NN only?" 

"So you won"t be able to prepare lunch again for me today?" 

"I still can, if it"s okay for you to have your lunch by 2PM."

"Should be fine." 

"Can you arrange someone to pick up your lunch here?" 

"Why?" Lee Jin Ho asked.

"I"m a bit shy to go to your office to bring your lunch! Your employees might think that I am just doing it to curry some favors from you?" 

"Isn"t that the case?" Lee Jin Ho said. 

"Yes! But I am not comfortable" Tan Ja Nin answered and lowered her head.

"Okay, I"ll ask PA Jin to pick up the food from here"

"It might be troublesome for him." Tan Ja Nin blurted out when she realized how she will trouble PA Jin.

Lee Jin Ho frowned and looked at Tan Ja Nin. What does she really want? 

"Okay, I just go there but you need to come down to pick it up. I will send you a message if I"m already there and I"ll give you my exact location"

Lee Jin Ho sneered "You don"t want to trouble PA Jin but look how shameless you are to ask me to come down to pick it up?"

Tan Ja Nin bit the lower part of her lips. 

Lee Jin Ho hissed "Okay, there"s a park near the building. Send me a message so I can meet you there."

Tan Ja Nin smiled. "Thank you!"

"Just thank you?" 

Tan Ja Nin knitted her brows. 

"I"m a very busy person and it would be inconvenient for me to come down everyday just to pick up my lunch! It is quite troublesome. You need..."

Tan Ja Nin stood up and gave Lee Jin Ho a kissed.

"Okay now?" She asked.  

Lee Jin Ho curled up his lips and nodded like a shy kid who finally got the candy that he wanted.

Tan Ja Nin smiled too and found him so adorable. 

.....

Lee Jin Ho has offered to drop her off into her apartment. She was sitting at the pa.s.senger seat when Lee Jin Ho asked her "Where"s your car? Why are you not bringing it anymore?" 

Tan Ja Nin pouted. How can she bring her Audi R8 around to the studio? How can she explain to her co-workshoppers about it? She tried to bring it once but Ju Ning was stunned when she saw it and asked her about it. She just said that it belongs to her friend and she just borrowed it for that day. She didn"t know if Ju Ning believes her but she didn"t ask any further questions. 

"My Audi R8 can speaks a thousand words for me." She said. 

"How long are you going to pretend? Do you really need to do that?" 

"I just wanted to play fair." Tan Ja Nin explained. 

"By being pretentious?" 

"I"m not being pretentious! I was just trying to hide it as much as I can. But I never lied. I just didn"t tell them who I really am!"

Lee Jin Ho frowned. So being pretentious was different from being hideous? Sometimes, he couldn"t really understand this woman. "It"s not comfortable to commute everyday." 

"I"m getting used to it!" She said.

"It"s not safe too!" Lee Jin Ho reminded her.

Tan Ja Nin did not reply. He was right. It wasn"t that safe to commute everyday. "Thank you for your concern. But I"m a grown up woman now. I know how to take good care of myself." 

Lee Jin Ho took a deep sigh. "Okay!" He said and made a full stop in front of her apartment. He saw her Audi R8 being parked near her apartment. 

"Thank you for dropping me off!" Tan Ja Nin said and she started to unbuckle. 

"Wait!" Lee Jin Ho said. He took something from the compartment and gave it to Tan Ja Nin. 

Tan Ja Nin made a second look. Is that a key card?

"It"s the key card to my pad. Please use it so you don"t need to wait for me. You can go there anytime you want.

Tan Ja Nin nodded. It would be more convenient if she also had a key. She accepted it. "Thank you! I"ll return it to you after our 1 month agreement"

Lee Jin Ho looked at her and was amused. So she really think that she can get away from him after one month? What does this woman took him for?

"I"ll get off now!" She said. 

"Wait!" 

"What?" 

"I thought you forgot something"

Tan Ja Nin knitted her brows. 

Lee Jin Ho pointed his finger into his lips.

A kiss? 

This shameless guy wanted a goodbye kiss?

Her face blushed when she saw that Lee Jin Ho was patiently waiting. 

She came closer and gave him a peck and immediately get off from his car. She was a bit afraid that Lee Jin Ho would ask for more than that.

Lee Jin Ho chuckled as he watched her walked hurriedly into her apartment. "See you later!" 

Tan Ja Nin did not reply. 

.....

Tan Ja Nin"s heart was beating so fast as she entered her apartment. She sat helplessly into the couch. So what was her relations.h.i.+p with Lee Jin Ho now? He never asked her to be his girlfriend. So what was she? His lover? She cupped her face with her both hands and chided herself. 

.....

Tan Ja Nin sent a message to Lee Jin Ho that she was already at the park near his office building. 

Lee Jin Ho: Going down. Be there in 10 mins.

Tan Ja Nin: Okay

Tan Ja Nin sat at the bench in the park and put down the lunch box beside her. She looked at the pa.s.serby as she waits for Lee Jin Ho. 

Her heart skipped a beat when she spotted Lee Jin Ho. She shouted his name

"Jin Ho!" She stood up and waived her hand.

Lee Jin Ho"s smiled when he saw her and made a big strides towards her location. She immediately handed off the lunch box to him. 

"I"m leaving now" She said

"Woah! So you live up with your role as a delivery girl?" Lee Jin Ho said with a dismay on his voice. 

"Have you taken your lunch?" He asked her. 

She shook her head. 

Lee Jin Ho twisted his mouth. "You! Eat this." He said and gave her the lunch box

Tan Ja Nin was stunned. 

"What time is it and you haven"t had your lunch yet?" Lee Jin Ho chided her.

"I"ll have lunch when I get back!"

"What time is it then before you reach your apartment?" 

She calculated the travel time and she could reach her apartment around 3 in the afternoon. It was too late for lunch then.

"But it"s yours!" She said.

"Let"s share!" 

"Oh!" 

Lee Jin Ho pulled her so she could sit to the bench with him. 

"Are we going to eat here at the park?" She asked.

Lee Jin Ho nodded. She looked around and there were a lot of pa.s.serby. She felt uncomfortable.

Lee Jin Ho has started to open the lunch box and picked some meat and asked her to open her mouth. 

"Ahh..." said Lee Jin Ho as he raised the spoon with a meat on it.

She was stunned and it gave Lee Jin Ho a room to stuff some foods into her mouth. He took another meat and stuffed it into his own mouth too. 

She was speechless.
