CHAPTER 13 —————
“No, huh?”
I rolled my eyes and turned around. The hallway on the fiftieth floor was empty as always. I was headed to take Nara from Dayeon and Taeyong’s room and unfortunately I had someone on the tail again while the rest were still trying to get informations from the stubborn Japanese woman. Jaemin walked behind me with a smirk on his face, hands buried in his pockets as he approached with slow steps.
“No...” I confirmed with a nod, never changing my tone or glare to less cold while I spoke and looked at him. “Let me repeat: don’t put your hopes up, sweetie!” I faked a smile making it look as obvious as possible while the last word came out of my mouth too sarcastically even for my liking, but I didn’t care to sound any less annoyed, rude or cold. “I would never date you...” I mumbled lowly.
My eyes stayed focused on his in a stern glare, while he was just staring at me like everything I said was a joke, with a mocking sparkle in his eyes as he stepped closer to me, so suddenly that I backed off immediately, eventually finding myself trapped between him and a cold wall with no escape.
My heart thundered in my chest and I gulped in nervousness. I was a fighter, I had the skills and at least enough strength to push him away. But everytime I found myself trapped my strength left me, my whole body weakened and I felt like my legs were shaking as fear and panic overtook my brain. I felt powerless and once again memories I thought I buried in the past came to the surface intoxicating my mind.
“Hmm... strange...” Jaemin hummed in thoughts, his low and smoky voice caused me to shiver under his gaze and I tried my all to look as strong and fearless as ever in front of him. A smirk made its way to his lips. Both of his hands resting next to my head as he lowered his face to my eye level. “You seemed to enjoy it so much last night.”
I gulped remembering the happenings from last night, every single look and every single touch, every feeling that came along with it and every sparkle of lust and desire that I felt so strongly for the first time in my life. I enjoyed it all, but this wasn’t about it.
Yesterday was yesterday, he didn’t threaten me to expose the whole gang. And now was a new day and I couldn’t look at him the same way anymore. I regretted ever laying my eyes on him and even more bringing him here. I was aware that I caused my efforts to go in vain with bringing him here and now it was time to stop.
Jaemin leaned close to my ear, his breath steady as it hit my earlobe and another rush of shivers went down my spine. I closed my eyes trying to stabilise my abnormal breathing without showing it, but he wasn’t helping at all. “Should I remind you love?” Jaemin whispered seductively and I could imagine the half grin on his lips before I felt something soft on my neck just below my left ear.
