...........IRENE POV............As if ritual, I wake up and turn to my side to see the time. It"s 5:55 am, the sun hasn"t even risen yet. Leaving my apartment still pitch dark.
After I get out of bed, I head to the en suite bathroom, turning on the lights. Illuminating the room around me, I have a quick shower and get dressed putting on a light blue faded jeans, white T-s.h.i.+rt and overlay-ed with a striped black and white s.h.i.+rt and white sneakers.
After blowing my hair and putting on a light foundation, I grab my round framed gla.s.ses and leave my home making my way next door.
Before I enter, I type in the pa.s.s-code to my neighbours door: 290391
I can"t help but feel very warm knowing that his taken such care. Even having my birthday as his pa.s.s-code.
When I open the door, I see clothes laying on the floor and shoes scattered all over the front entrance. Placing them into an orderly fas.h.i.+on, I put them in the rack and make my way over to the kitched.
Seems like Dylan had guests over last night again. For a person who says he doesn"t have friends, he sure as h.e.l.l has a lot of acquintances. I don"t mind though, it"s not every day I get to meet celebrities.
Moving to the kitchen, I ransack the cupboards for flour, salt, b.u.t.ter]eggs and milk. While I"m busy making the pancake mixture, two females come from one of the guests rooms and we stand stunned for a second.
They ogle me up and down, confused as to my ident.i.ty. While I"m temporarily checking if my eyesight hasn"t betrayed me.
Granted they are not all put together, but they are definitely Han Hyo-joo and and Moon Chae-won! Dylan told me they went out drinking but he never said anything about the staying the night.
" Annyeonghaseyo" I greet, slightly bowing.
" Annyeonghaseyo" The respond in unison. Their voices still a little dazed and weak from sleep.
"And....you are?" They interrogate, raising concerns as to my ident.i.ty
"I am Bae Joohyun. Dylan"s uhm... girlfriend" I answer.
"Dylan has a girlfriend!!" Hyo-joo asks
"You live together?" Asks Chae-won
Answering their questions one by one "Yes. I guess he does. And nope we don"t live together. I stay next door."
"What are you doing here so early then?" Hyo-joo asks
I point to the kitchen tools and the bowls filled with the pancake mixture, "Making breakfast"
"Do you do this everyday for dylan?"
Shaking my head, "Not everyday but quite often"
"How lucky"
Seungi-hyung then emerges from the other room and greets loudly, "Morning!"
"Joo-hyun, what you making today?" He asks
"You know her? " Hyo-joo asks
"Yeah, she"s dylan"s little housewife"
"Why didn"t you tell us he had a girlfriend!" She asks
"Should I? I mean isn"t it obvious" He motions with an open hand over his face. I think his trying to itterate that with Dylan"s looks its not surprising. I don"t disagree with that statement though. If he was a little more of a bad boy and not such a nerd, I"m pretty sure girls would flock to him. Not that they don"t already.
"What you making this morning baechu?" He asks
"Baechu?"
"Yeah, that"s what Dylan calls her. Cringy right" Seungi teases
"VERY!" I answer, "But I like it."
They laugh at my unexpected bluntness finding it charming.
"I"m making pancakes" I answer Seungi-Hyung, "You want some?"
"Definitely!" He answers brightly
................
Subsequently, with a greased up pan firing. The batter makes contact and releases sounds of
satisfaction and sizzle. While I manage, the heat ensuring that it cooks thoroughly while not burning it at the same time. Quite a delicate process.
All the while, I"m being questioned by one of the two female celebrities. Trying to find out as much information as they can in one morning.
"So, how did you two meet?" Hyo-joo asks
"At school"
"Oooh high-school sweet-hearts. Did you ask him out or did he?" She continues
Chae-won meanwhile looks like she doesn"t care at all. Her legs are crossed, her back is straight. She is sitting in very feminine yet elegant upright position. Her entire being screams "My body is a gift". I don"t know why but I find it really annoying. I can"t help but be a little jealous about how femine she seems.
"He did. Alot!" I recall Dylan"s shamelessness.
All of a sudden, I feel something grab me from behind and I can"t help but shriek!
Feeling the toned arms wrap around me, I recongise the grasp immediately.
"Hey, I"m busy" I shout in slight annoyance.
He however ignores my pleas and just holds me tighter, before slightly releasing me and gazes deeply into my eyes. Wiping a splatter of batter from my cheeks he licks his fingers and exclaims in delight, "Tasty"
I can"t help but roll my eyes, I"m somewhat used to these public displays of affection. So it doesn"t really bother me anymore. I just wish he could cut down on it though, its like his trying to cram everything he can into the shortest amount of time. Sometimes I really can"t handle his impatience.
Rotating my body round , I notice that his not wearing a s.h.i.+rt, "Show-off, go put on your s.h.i.+rt!"
He winces in annoyance but like a little puppy concedes to my demands immediately.
As he makes his way to the shower, I return back to the pan and can"t help but notice Chae-wons burning gaze. While hyo-joo too ogled Dylan it was much more reactionary, she looked at him the way anyone would seeing someone pretty or hot but Chae-won is looking at him with gaze full of desire.
She hasn"t shown a wink of emotion all morning but once Dylan showed up. Anyone who saw how she looked at him knew she was hooked.
