Chapter 86: Move a Mountain and Split the Ocean (2)
Shizu swallowed a dry air, what in the world did this devil just come up with? It wouldn't surprise her if he was to drag her to where Andy and the others were, but instead..
"Then why don't you tell me your wish? I'll grant them."
She was not sure if she heard it correctly so Shizu blinked once then twice before opening her mouth "Will you? How?"
"You know they said money can give you anything. And I happen to have a lot of them." His eyes innocently sparkled, leaving her dumbstruck. Is that how the super rich think?
She was not sure whether she should feel offended or grateful. One thing for sure, Lee Changhyuk was more excited about granting her wish than the milk girl herself. Nope, there was no way he intended to offend her.
Why did he remind her of the expensive episode they just had? 'expensive stuff' 'expensive gift' 'expensive ...' Yup. She's going to sleeptalk tonight.
"Lee Changhyuk you..."
"For you i'd move a mountain and split the ocean. Wait, if you have such a grand request. It might have to wait until I'm back to Seoul. I'm pretty broke now, cannot use my credit card or they'll find me here.." He continued to ramble and little did he know her time stopped when she heard him mentioning Seoul.
Seoul?
Why? Why did it sting when he mentioned Seoul? She always knew that's where the little puppy belonged. So why did it hurt her chest when he said he was leaving?
"Ah choo!" Lee Changhyuk sneezed and gently rubbed his perfect nose. What a cold weather, it was really hot this afternoon.
He sniffled before hesitantly saying "Excuse me." then straightened up to remove his white t-shirt, exposing his slim but muscular body and hard abs.
The milk girl gawked, eyes wide in utter disbelief as she was not mentally prepared for this then forced herself to look away. Her heart was pounding and her cheeks blushed as she chanted a lot of mantras in her head.
Lee Changhyuk held the t-shirt firmly in both hands then twisted it to wrench out water. The rain was really bad but it seemed it would stop soon.
Shizu took a deep breath then stretched her arm out. "You've got a nice designer jacket. The inner side is completely dry." She handed the black jacket without looking at Lee Changhyuk.
Lee Changhyuk turned his head to her and let out a silent chuckle. He was one of the highest paid Stars in the Korean commercial film. Corporates were more than willing to pay banks to reveal his abs cause a lot of people were dying to see him naked. But this girl?
Aah.. Why did it matter? He didn't want anyone but this girl.
It wasn't his intention to show off his body but if this girl he was so in love with didn't want to see him bare then he wouldn't show any to her.
"Thank you." He took the jacket from her palm and put it on. The milk girl was right, the inner side was completely dry. He felt much better.
After zipping up the jacket, Lee Changhyuk turned his head towards the milk girl and softly called her "Don't be afraid Miruku chan. I'm fully dressed now."
"I.. I'm not afraid!" She stubbornly said without returning his gaze.
Lee Changhyuk did not say anything as he patiently waited for her but it made her feel even worse. Why didn't he insist or ask her anything? She didn't want to make him misunderstand anything!
"I.. I might get a nosebleed." She continued and immediately wished for a hurricane to come and wipe her from the earth. WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY??
Lee Changhyuk froze for a moment but then he let out a pleasant laugh. Shizu could feel hot air steamed out of her ears from the embarassment, this time she decided to shut her mouth and not correct anything. Who knew what other stupid things would slip out of her mouth? Better let him have his laugh.
"Oh dear, Miruku chan. You are too cute, at this point I might end up giving you everything. Think carefully about your wish and let me know, okay?" He finally stopped laughing.
She could hear him straightened up and walked towards her but she was still not ready to face him until his fingers gently touched her chin and lifted it up to meet him.
His face was so much calmer, so calm it was almost hypnotizing. She wondered if he knew how blinding he looked under the moonlight that started to reveal itself between the dark clouds. If he knew how inhumane his whole presence was in her eyes.
"If you wish to have another 100 wishes, I'll grant them too."
Her heart skipped a beat as a wave of undescribable feeling took over her entire being. Her head was empty, she could not think of anything else but those eyes.. since when did they become so... Wait, why did she stop breathing again?
"The rain stopped, shouldn't we go now before it's too late? Those guys will come in the morning and we'll have to wake up extra early." He nonchalantly asked and Shizu raised a brow as she realized the brat was already on his way, waving the back of his hand at her and casually resting another hand in his pocket.
How long did she doze off for? That brat! She ran towards him "Hey! Wait for me!"
It took 5 minutes for Shizu and Lee Yuki before arriving at the hotel. A sense of achievement filled her chest. After that horrible weather, they managed to come back in one piece!
She looked up to meet those pleasing eyes behind the rounded glasses. The words 'we made it!' flashed in her big eyes and he gave the sweetest apple smile to acknowledge her.
The lobby was still lively, some guests must have returned at the same time from the festival with them but even after a while she could not spot any of Le Sucre's or RHK crew.
Le Sucre's members were all grown ups but seeing the bad rain earlier, she needed to make sure that Andy or her team didn't get stuck somewhere.
She looked at Lee Yuki to ask for his opinion so he suggested to try calling Andy and the others in the lobby's waiting area. That way, they could spot them if they ever showed up.
Shizu agreed then took large strides to sit on the couch in the waiting area, and like a silent guardian, Lee Yuki wordlessly followed her from behind. Even when he felt extremely tired from carrying her around and having bad lungs- he refused to leave her. His protective nature couldn't let the girl he loved to stay in the hotel alone.
Her footstep suddenly stopped, she was frozen for several seconds and her throat went dry at the sight before them. After clearing her throat she finally said
"Kira.. Why are you here?"
