All Jokes Aside (Imperfect Series #3)

Chapter 30

Nang makapasok ulit ako sa trabaho ko kay Hyunjin ay inutusan niya akong linisin ang kusina at yung library. Inuna ko munang linisin ang kitchen niya dahil dadating ang chef niya hinired niya para maghanda para sa kakainin niya. Nagmomop nalang ako ng sahig nang pumasok siya sa kusina para kumuha ng isang bottled water.

Malapit na akong matapos at seryoso akong naglilinis nang ilagay niya sa lamesa ang isang bottled water. "Have a drink first. You have to stay hydrated." sabi niya.

I stopped mopping the floor. As I was going to get the water, he grabbed it first but he opened the bottle for me. I murmured my gratitude before holding the bottled water. Tumalikod ako sa pag-inom dahil hindi matanggal-tanggal ang tingin niya sakin. Pagtungga ko sa bote ay humarap siya sakin, muntik na akong masamid dahil sa kanya.

Amused, I asked him. "What are you doing?" I laughed a little.

"Watching you." he responded abruptly, shrugging his shoulders.

"You're so weird." I responded too and made a turn off from him.

But as soon as I turned around again. He snuck his face to look at me. He's still standing behind me and I felt his warm body almost touching my back. Napakamot ako ulo sa ginawa niya. Just when he became like that? He acted as a brat since we came back from our vacation. Haharapin ko sana siya ulit nang umabante siya at napaatras ako sa ginawa niya, nakulong ako sa bisig niya at sa lamesa na nasa likod ko. Spreading his arms and darted it both on the table, and I was trapped.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa ginawa niya at parang nang-aakit ang kanyang mga mata na nakatingin sakin. Nakataas-noo lang ako pero nakaramdam ako ng nerbyos dahil sa kanya. "Mr. Nam." I nervously spewed because he'd suddenly over-acting, and weird.

He inserted his arms between my hands supporting on the table and my waist. Parang kakargahin niya ako. Inilapit niya ang kanyang mukha sakin pero hindi para halikan. Inamoy niya ang pabango ko. Iniwas ko ang aking mukha sa kanya kaya tumama ang hininga niya sa leeg ko. Para akong nakuryente sa ginawa niya.

Nanigas lang ako sa kinatatayuan ko. Malapit na akong matumba dahil sa kanya. Hindi ko alam kung paano ako makakaalis mula sa kanya. I was worried about Heesu, what if he just came in and witnessed our position?

"Mr. Nam, this is improper." Matapang kong sabi sa kanya at nakaya kong itulak siya pero hindi siya napaigtad sa ginawa ko.

"What's not improper? I like seeing your reaction."

"This is an assault." sagot ko agad.

"No, it's not. But I just want to see your face. You're so pretty without makeup on." he blunted.

Muntik na akong manlaki ng mata dahil sa gulat at sa pagpuri niya. "Is that a compliment?"

"Probably." sagot niya na parang robot.

I blinked. I wanted to get out from his cage. Gusto kong magwala pero yung puso ko lang ang nagwawala. I tried to push him but I failed. I tried to straggle but I failed again. I tried to warn him that I'd knee his balls but I wouldn't do that. I didn't want to be the reason of his infertility.

"Lowie."

Nagtama ang tingin namin nang humarap ako sa kanya. Kunti nalang ang pagitan naming dalawa at malapit na kaming magkadikit. Hindi na seryoso ang tingin niya pero naging blanko ito, yung palagi niyang suot na kapag kaharap ang maraming tao.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

I stared at him stoically. I saw how his Adam's apple trailed down. There's a hope flickered in his eyes. Hindi niya alam na yung puso ko ay hinahabol na sa loob ng dibdib ko. My breath was hitching but I tried to remain calm and I didn't scream in so much flattered.
