As she closed her eyes, she felt his fingers running over her cheeks, making her feel the tingle. He sneers asking, "You don't wear makeup?" He noticed her eyes closed, smiling he said, "Did you think I'm going to kiss you..."
She shot opened her eyes, he read her mind, making her blush even more. Her heart thumps breaking the silence when he asked all of a sudden, "Are you hungry? Your stomach's growling."
Seohyun's hand automatically raised to land on his cheek, making a five fingered marks, she slapped him hard.
Her cheeks were already red from the shame, but now it's echoing anger, 'How could he compare my heart thumping with stomach growling… Ridiculous!' she turned her back on him.
Sungjin was on the ground, the force she applied he was still feeling it to his guts. Rubbing his cheeks, he said, making his eyes tearing, "You hit me so hard, it's swollen. Look at me." She turned her back way before, now whatever happens she decided not to talk to him again.
He continued, "Turn to me this instant or…. Or…" He stood up, walking out her room, came back moments later with a bunch of snacks on his hands, including chips, pastries, jellies, juices, even fruits. He brought almost everything from her fridge.
Dumping them in front of her on the bed, he sat down beside her requesting, "I know you are hungry. Let's settle everything up and eat these snacks," He took out a bag of chips. The flavor was her favorite, he chose it, intending to make up with her.
But she didn't agree at all. Still not responding to him, but the moment he torn the packet, she snatched it. She couldn't resist the temptation of her favorite chips. Chomping on it she still didn't look at him.
Trying to console her, he apologizes, "OK, OK, sorry I won't tease you now, but tell me, did you really thought I'd be kissing you?"
Hearing this, her blood started boiling, her death stare made him uncomfortable. He apologizes again, "Sorry, sorry. I'm really sorry for teasing you, but I need your help."
The way he requested, she felt it's something serious. She turned to him asking, "What happened?"
"I want to learn makeup. You can teach me, right?"
His request made her eyebrow raise. She asked in confusion, "I don't understand… you want to learn makeup? For what?
He remained silent, how can you say that…
Leaving a sigh, he said, "I have to be a girl."
The more he talks, the more confusing it gets. Her mind just blew. She don't know whether to laugh or cry. She chose to laugh. Her laughter could be heard from the neighbor apartment, she was this loud.
Watching her, he lets her laugh however she wants.
The moment she stopped, he asked her, "Now hear me out please." His expression didn't say he was joking. Realizing it, she became serious.
Sungjin continued, "My sister's missing for some days and I don't know for how long."
"How could you not know how long she's missing? I mean, you live with her, how?"
Interrupting her, he said, "You know our relation. We haven't even talked for a long while, and I was mostly out of home. I didn't see her much in recent month and I think this guy has something to do with this," he showed the chat of his sister and Mr. Park, the CEO of UNIC entertainment on his sister's phone.
Checking the text, Hyun asked, "What about your uncle and police? We have to inform police."
"No… We can't inform police, not at least now. Check the messages on December, my sister threatened him that she will go to the police, but he said he can manage all those lowly people. He can shut everyone with money and I don't want to stress out uncle. He had done a lot for us."
"OK. Everything aside. Why do you want to learn makeup? I mean, you have to find out about your sister, but why make up?"
"I'll take my sisters place. Joining the job, I'll look for her whereabouts."
" I see," her face darkened, "Actually you came to the wrong person. I know nothing about makeup." That's true, she never did make up. Her skin was already good thanks to her mother. She never needed any make up.
His whole life felt like shaking. He could only trust her in this case. She said, "Wait, we can look it up on Internet and mom have makeup kit. I'm bringing it."
She came back with a large make a box she could hardly carry. In the meantime he had set up her laptop to watch some videos.
Hours later, Mrs. Chae, Seohyun's mother came back from her kitty party. She was the member of the Welfare Committee of the whole Apartment complex. And the party was from the committee member.
Taking out her keys, she unlocked the front door of her apartment. Her daughter should be home, but she didn't see her there, 'Maybe in her room.'
When she took off her heels, she noticed something odd, a boy's shoe was there. But they weren't anywhere to be seen, except they were in her daughter's room.
To check what's going on, she tiptoed to place her ear on the door of her room. She heard a guy's voice. He was someone she's familiar with. They were talking about something she couldn't hear it clearly, so she glued her ear to the door when she heard the guy talking, "Let me do it, or you'll regret…"
"Not me, but you are gonna regret doing it with me, heh."
"Hey hey, get off me… What are you doing?" The guy yelled at her.
Now Mrs. Chae remembered this voice. She tried to barge in but the door was locked. She banged on its so loud that both Sungjin and Seohyun's heart skipped a bit.
Looking at each other they thought something bad might have happened.
Mrs. Chae stared at both of them with fire coming out of her eyes. They both froze seeing her death glare. Her daughter was hiding under the blanket, even hiding her face. She understands something suspicious here, asking with a loud voice, "What were you both doing?"
