Morning came and Jae Won was brushing his teeth when a soft tender arms wrapped around his waist. He didn't have to turned to see who it was since the smell that assaulted his nose came from only one person, Hana.
"Did you have a good night sleep?" Jae Won asked as he lowered his head closer to rinse his mouth.
Hana smiled so widely as she burry her face in Jae Won's back. Jae Won chuckled and turned around with a bright smile, cupped Hana's cheeks and looked into her eyes.
With just a look from Jae Won and Hana's heart slammed into her ribs. She lowered her head unable to look straight into Jae Won's eyes but he held her chin up to meet his gaze.
With a soft smile, he placed a gentle kiss on Hana's lips. That's when she saw Jae Won's eyes that were bloodshot and sunken with dark circles underneath.
Hana closed the little gap that was between them and with a worried face she asked, "you didn't sleep well last night?"
Jae Won sighed a little and with a smile that didn't reach his eyes he replied, "no I didn't. I had countless nightmares and had to force myself to wake up."
Hana chuckled and with a teasingly voice she said, "it's because you didn't sleep beside me last night." As she said this she walked a little further away from Jae Won then turned around to face Jae Won again. Jae Won watched her with much attention to her every actions while he guessed what was about to happen next.
"What did you dream about?" Hana asked with a bright smile as though they were having a romantic night but rather she was asking about someone's nightmares which meant she shouldn't smile but here she was smiling teasingly at Jae Won.
"It's just a blurry per…." Jae Won paused as he realized he almost blurted out his unusual dream. "Never mind" Jae Won replied "you are still weak and needed a good size bed to help you relax" he continued.
Hana rolled her eyes "but the bed could take five people" as she said this she walked slowly to her lover, her dream lover who was really standing in front of her. Hana smiled and a smirk lurking around the corner of her lips, she placed a soft kiss on Jae Won's wet lips from the brushing.
"I know. But if you don't want to have another nightmare, just come sleep by my side" Hana continued as she looked at Jae Won right in his eyes and blinked her left eyes deliberately showing signs of flirtatious.
Jae Won who didn't expect that just raised an eyebrow and in a second kept a straight face like he was a chameleon. This look sent Hana laughing hysterically while she went back to the room.
Jae Won went ahead to take his shower and prepared for work. They said their goodbyes with a kiss and Jae Won came out of his apartment.
Secretary Kim was already waiting by the car and the moment his gaze met Jae Won, he rushed to him.
"Vice Chairman,why don't you stay at home which is rather convenient than here? You have no servants to help you" complained Secretary Kim who was being overprotective like a father.
He loves Jae Won like his own son and wish the best for him. He hope he could take over the company after his father. Even though he is the Vice Chairman at a young age that always guaranteed the next successor but anything can happen which can make him lose this position which he fears most.
Jae Won sighed and paused which Secretary Kim almost bumped into him since he was following him while he was complaining.
Jae Won turned around slowly, "I can do a lot by myself so servants isn't necessary when I'm here" he replied as he continued to walk towards the car.
"Yes yes yes, you could barely wash a plate, it's only because you came back from th…." Secretary Kim paused his sentence before he let out some secret which was not but to Jae Won it is since he has no memory about his time in Africa.
This sentence made Jae Won paused as he was about to enter into the back seat of his car. He turned to Secretary Kim, "for your information, I believed I learnt how to do things by myself" Jae Won said and entered the car.
The driver immediately entered his seat ready to drive away leaving behind the nagging father. Secretary Kim rushed to his seat before they drove off.
Jae Won who just realized something looked away from his tablet and sent his gaze towards Secretary Kim "weren't you supposed to be with the chairman for his meeting today?" Jae Won asked.
Secretary Kim turned to Jae Won for about a few seconds before he replied, "the chairman asked I come with you today."
Jae Won nodded as he looked back to his tablet to check out his meetings for today. Because he has been away for two days this has made his day packed with meetings.
But the one he is anticipated about is the meeting scheduled for 2pm. That will boost his success rate to more than one hundred percent.
The ride was almost like a cemetery until Secretary Kim started making up conversations which made the ride to work more lively but in all Jae Won was quiet.
A few minutes later, a car parked in front of the company where the shadow of the car itself send shivers down the workers spine. They sometimes wonder how it feels to work closely to the vice Chairman.
He doesn't smile often and the only time they had seen him smile is when his girlfriend is around. This made it difficult for them to feel comfortable around their Vice Chairman.
"The Vice Chairman is so hot, too bad we can't get close to him" said one female worker dressed in a tailored black suit with a crisp white blouse. Her heels always announced her presence wherever she is.
The other female worker who was supposed to be listening to her other colleague was in fact staring at one their colleague who she's had a crush on for sometimes now. Her response was distant obviously her mind was elsewhere.
"Obviously, he is out of your league" replied a soft voice clearly sounding irritating. This kind of reply was not what she expected from her friend.
She quickly turned her head to the direction the sound came from. This was not so surprising when she found out who it was. "Ah, Secretary Hye Ji, what are you doing here?" said the flustered worker who smiled nervously.
Hye Ji looked at her intensely with 'I work here too' look written on her face. The lady was about to speak when she saw Hye Ji bowing down towards someone. She need not to be informed who the person was since she just talked about him a few minutes ago.
She quickly turned her head to face this person whom Hye Ji was bowing to. "Good morning Vice Chairman" Hye Ji greeted which Jae Won smiled at him.
He didn't even notice the person standing beside her Secretary. Meanwhile the lady was bowing to greet her Vice Chairman. She feels so lucky to see him up close. She don't really get the chance since her position doesn't guarantee her to be in Jae Won's presence.
Jae Won took the lead with Secretary Kim following him like a chick following it's mother. Hye Ji knew at once that today was one of the days their boss didn't have a good night sleep just by looking at his eyes.
Taking the elevator to the last floor , he entered his office preparing for the start of the day at work. A few minutes in and Hye Ji was knocking announcing Jae Hyun's presence.
Jae Won smiled brightly at the mention of his cousin and also his best friend. With no hesitation, he nodded and a few seconds later, Jae Hyun was seen entering the office and his smiles could brighten the whole world for two decades.
Jae Hyun's smile was cut short when he eyes fell on his cousins face. With no hesitation and filter he said, "you look like shit." Jae Won laughed which Jae Hyun laughed after him.
This called for Jae Hyun's teasing non stop for a whole five minutes. "Is Hana responsible for this" asked Jae Hyun with his right hand thumb on Jae Won's face.
Jae Won shook his head in disapproval but Jae Hyun wasn't done with him yet. "My cousin here is shy to admit his girlfriend didn't allow him to sleep" as he said he sat on the couch and rest his right leg over the other.
Jae Won rose from his seat and walked towards Jae Hyun while he said "I just had a nightmare which isn't a nightmare."
Jae Hyun, "...…."
