Chapter fifteen
Stephanie went back to her small room. It was one of the room in the apartment that she shared. There were other tenants in this apartment but she chose to have a small room for herself.
Privacy was important to her.
She knew she was weird and others might not have the mentality to get use to her. She knew she didn’t have them. As a result, she had taken literary the smallest room ever existed there. It was just adequate to place a single bed and a small closet and then, a small pathway which was just two or three steps the most to the door.
Yes, it was that small.
As small as her world was.
Her world consisted of dancing, café, eating and sleeping. She was a dance major. She had came all the way from the outskirts to realize her dream of being a dancer. It had been eventful and she won’t deny it. However, she had never regretted it.
She lied down on her bed with spread arms above her head. She then stretched and puffed out a deep breath.
It was another day.
Then, with all her worries puffed out along with evaporated water out of her mouth, she felt asleep, oblivious to her phone ringing thrice.
Jae Joong was free for the day. He had finished his assignment from college and now, he was heading for living room. It was a Wednesday. He liked his Wednesday because he had the less activities out of any other weekdays. In the morning, he had class starting from nine and then, it ended at ten thirty.
At eleven, it was the café until one in the afternoon, or at least until one something, depending on Li Yin.
Usually, Li Yin and he always take lunch together. They will seat together and talked about movies which was on theaters. Jae Joong liked the idea that they talked only about them, not planning to watch them. That was the difference between Li Yin and the other girls. They wanted to go out, to see the movies, to go pick up something for a couple of hours.
Basically, they took up his time and they weren’t not interesting.
Which clothes looked best on me?
They were asking that when they held up a bright pink tshirt and then a bright blue miniskirt. It was a totally different material. For god sake, how was Jae Joong supposed to answer that? One was for the top and the other was for the bottom.
So, Jae Joong picked up something else from the shelf and showed that person. She was very amazed and more offers to go to the shopping mall came in.
It had to stop somewhere, Jae Joong thought.
Luckily for him, he had an excused then. He had to work, less time to go shopping. He said that regrettably to those girls.
Those girls were understanding though. Then, they asked where he worked. He lied that it was some café belonged to his fathers. Then, he excused himself, saying that he need to see some lecturer.
It was the end of their encounter for that day.
Jae Joong had never had the patience for girls like that, the one that was practically stalking him. However, he had a reputation to uphold. He needed to be courteous to them. They were daughters to important corporate CEO.
He walked down to the living room and saw his mother with his father enjoying the television. It was a talk show. Both of them were laughing. It was quite surprising for Jae Joong as he saw his dad there. His dad were always busy.
“Don’t you have work at the office?” Jae Joong asked.
“Yes. I came back for an hour and then, I will returned to the office for more paperwork,” his father answered.
That was his dad. If he doesn’t need to entertain his clients, he will return home and talked with either Jae Joong or his mum. Someday, Jae Joong will found someone he really love and then, he will take over his dad’s position.
As a great father and a great husband.
Kim Jun Su felt indifferent. Today’s event kept rewinding and then playing in his mind. Sometimes, he caught himself smiling.
He went home immediately after sending Li Yin off and met his maid at home.
“Wow, you seemed happy today,” his maid commented.
Usually, he won’t have a chance to meet his maid. It was because she was hired to work half day and it was thrice a week. She was supposed to wash up the whole apartment and then, leave after she was done. The last time, he saw her was last week.
It seemed to him that his maid was the constant point in his life.
Well, at least constant enough to notice that he was happy that day.
