Third Person's POV

❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌

"I'm hungry" She stated, looking at him that was driving. She just got a text that her father won't be home again. I guess it's a little hard when you're a single parent.

"Well, where do you want to eat?" He asked.

"Uh... anywhere is fine. I just don't feel like going home" She said.

"Don't feel like going home? What? You father is not home?" He asked, instantly reading her mind.

"You scaredy-cat" He stated.

"I... am not a scaredy-cat" She was lying. She was lying straight to her teeth. She was scared as hell to stay alone. It's not safe! Never safe! And she doesn't care if she's being a big baby about it.

"Hmm. Lying now, Ms. De'Casper?" He asked, as he focused on his driving. She mentally sighed, looking at him with an annoyed look. How does this man gets her so well? As she fell silent, he knew he had got her in a box. He was right. She was scared. He glanced at her for a moment, their eyes met for a brief moment, before she looked away and he looked back to the front.

"You're afraid of being alone in your own house, instead of being afraid of being alone with a man"

"I'm not afraid of that man" She stated, shrugging, as she look at all the buildings passing them. He chuckled at that, looking at her.

"I guess not" He said.

"Come to my apartment?" He asked.

"I'll cook something for you" He said. She felt surprised. A man inviting her to his place, that was a first. She can't help but softly smile.

"I'd like that" She said.

~~~~~~~~~~

"The whole floor is yours?" She asked, as she placed her purse aside and took a seat on the couch. Wow. She glanced around the place. Everything looks fancy.

"Yes"

"I bet you I'm not the first lady you ever brought here" Valarie turned to look at him that was bringing out the drinks.

"Maybe. Maybe not. Wine?" He asked, coming over to her. She nodded and got up to take the glasses from him.

"How does pasta sounds?" He asked.

"Wonderful" She agreed with him, as he poured the wine in the glass.

"Get comfortable. It may take a while" He said.

"Do you mind if I watch?" She asked.

"Not at all" He said, sounding confident. She went to take a seat at the high chair, watching as he rolled up his sleeves and washed his hand as a start.

"How old exactly are you, Mr. Chae?" She asked, taking a sip of the wine, before she rest her chin on her palm.

"Me? I lost count. But if I'm not mistaken, about two centuries plus" He replied, as he brought out the ingredients. She fell silent at that, two hundred years. That sounds a little lonely. Doesn't he ever have a family? He looked at her that was staring off into space.

"I think you want to ask me questions. What is it?" He asked.

"Don't you ever have a family? A lady that you love? Someone you want to spend the rest of your life with?" She asked, as she look up at him with raised eyebrows. He fell silent at that for a moment. A lady that I love? Someone I want to spend the rest of my life with?

"If only I have the rest of my life. I don't exactly age, remember?"

"I think only humans think that way" Hyungwon said. Why does he sound so sad? She wondered to herself.

"Your perspective on love and life is kinda boring. Don't you think it's exciting to have someone to love? To cherish that person every day, to argue with them, to spend time with them?" She had this faraway look on her face, as a smile crept up her face. Hyungwon looks at her, his eyebrows scrunched.

"I am boring. I never said I was a fun person" He stated, making her snap out of her thoughts. For some reason, she felt like she had offended him.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to offend you"

"You didn't. You just simply stated your opinion of me" He said. She then slowly went to slip off the chair.

"Do you mind if I look around?"

"What if I say I do?" He asked.

"Says the person who looked through my personal diary, even though I told him not to" She heard his chuckle and went ahead to explore his house.

It's so goddamn big. There was a few rooms. There was one room filled with expensive suits. There was one room which was empty, but there was a bed and a couch, with a dressing table. As she walked ahead, she noticed the translucent walls and she reached a door. As she opened the door, instantly she knew the room belonged to Hyungwon. The room was filled with the scent of his cologne and his things were laying around.

"I guess he won't mind if I... explore further" She then went ahead, before she slowly sat on his bed. The bed felt so comfortable. If it was her, she wouldn't want to ever get up.

Hyungwon who was in the kitchen thought back to the moment in Rae's apartment. He was taking out the ingridients he wanted to use. When he turned to grab the knife, his eyes landed on the vase of Roses and memories that he tries so hard to forget, came back in full force when he smelled Valarie's scent. The knife in his hand was gripped so hard, and he trembled slightly. The smell of Roses, instantly makes the feeling of hate and anger rise in him, as well as a deep longing. Just when he thought he had forgotten, it appears it is still fresh in his mind. He dump the Roses in the trashcan, hoping to mend what has been broken.

"Who is that?" She wondered, seeing a portrait, a painting of him and a woman. She stepped further towards the painting, inspecting it. The lady was wearing a Kimono dress. She was beautiful, she has to admit. Her hair was long and silky, her almond shaped eyes looks like doe eyes, her nose was small, and her lips a pretty nude. The picture didn't have so much colour in it, but she could tell

"Are you done looking around?" He asked, as she came back.

"Yeah. Your house is big" She stated.

"I would think that your slave would be living here with you"

"I only bring my slave here to clean. I kinda like my own privacy at times" He stated.

"If my slave is here, she would wake me up every morning. I don't like that" He said.

"I know. I would prefer sleeping in" She stated, agreeing with him, as she remembered her servants waking her up early in the morning. She took a sip of her wine, before she went over to him.

"Smells good" She stated, leaning over to look at his cooking. He look over to see her looking at the food in hunger.

"Why is that every time your father is not around, you always ended up with me?" He asked, as he went to place the pasta in separate plates.

"Well,... you were somehow there"

"Besides, today, you offered to drive to Rae's apartment" Hyungwon nodded, she was kinda right.

"Let's eat" He said, as he grabbed both plates.

"Can you grab the utensils?" He asked, gesturing towards the metal container with the silverwares. She grabbed the whole thing and brought it to him. He sat down at one of the high chairs and she went to sit next to him. After passing out the fork, they dig in.

"Hmm" She moaned slightly at the taste. He look at her, watching as she had a smile on her face as she ate.

"It's good" She stated.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Who is that woman in the picture?" She asked, slightly slurring from drinking too much wine. The both of them were just relaxing on the couch, clearly drunk.

"Nae... sarang" He replied, lower than a whisper. His eyes were droopy and the glass in his hand was about to slip.

"What? What is that? Nae... what?" Her face was flushed and she felt hot. Really hot.

"Can I have more?" She asked, noticing her glass is empty. He looked at the amount of bottles they drank. Two wine bottles were finished, another one was almost gone, and one champagne bottle was halfway gone.

"We should stop" He said. She then place her glass on the table.

"Bathroom" She said, before getting up and going towards the bathroom. She slowly swayed on her feet as she walked. After doing her business, she went to wash her hands, when she noticed the lights outside that was switched off. Hyungwon must've shut them off. She look at her reflection, her face was flushed and it felt hot. She glanced around the bathroom and look at the shower.

"Hyungwon" She called, as she went to look for him. He was on his bed, his limbs sprawled.

"Do you mind if I take a short shower?" She asked.

"Towels in the drawer, under the sink" He mumbled. She give a short thanks, before heading to shower. She slowly stripped out of her clothes. Hyungwon's eyes rounded, as he could make out her figure from the translucent glass, as she stripped. He could clearly see her taking off her dress, her undergarments.

"Are you tempting me, Ms. De'Casper?" He mumbled to himself.

"Cause it's working" He said. He undeniably felt hot too. Of course, who wouldn't? The air conditioner wasn't even on, leaving the place hot.

"Huh?" She turned around, tripping on her feet slightly as the door open. She covered her chest, quite a slow reaction as she was still drunk. The both of them stared at each other, blinking slowly.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm gonna shower. What else? Your place is really hot" She said, as she fanned her face, completely showing off her chest. Hyungwon's jaw dropped, seeing her breasts.

"What the...?" He was slurring on his words. He then smirked, before taking off his clothes as well.

"Ah!" She felt something hard fell on her, but really, it was just him crashing into her. Their lips instantly entangled, as he slowly walked, pushing her back into the shower. All the while, their lips never apart. He reached behind her and pull the lever. She gasped in the kiss as the cold water hit their hot skin.

"Hmm" She moaned, as he started kissing down her jaw and her neck. The water turned warmer and warmer, as their situation. Her head was thrown back and she felt the water hitting her face. He sucked on her wet skin, sucking the water flowing down the length of her neck. She then cupped his face, before their lips met once again. She sucked on his bottom lip, as he sucked on her top one.  He slowly pulled away, looking into her eyes. His hand slowly reached down and slipped his hand in between her thighs. She instantly scrunched her eyebrows and groaned, leaning against him as he inserted his fingers.

"H-Hyungwon" She stuttered through breaths, as he quickened the pace of his fingers. Their lips met once again and they kissed passionately. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled out his fingers from her core. He pumped his shaft a few times, making it harder than it already was. He lift one of her legs up and he pressed her against the wall.

"Ah!" She hissed, as he slipped in his manhood, her head threw back, feeling his thing stretching her out for the second time.

"God!" She winced, as she tangled her fingers in his hair. She looked down to where their bodies are connected and she could see her clenching on his thing. He quickened his pace, his forehead leaning on hers, looking down to where her breasts were bouncing. She look up and their lips connected once again. Their breaths mixed and she started panting as his thing kept hitting her core. 

"F**k!" He cursed, as he felt his thing twitch and wanting to burst already. He thrusted a few more times, before he pulled out his thing and it ejaculated. She watch as his seeds shoot out and he groans at the feeling. Her jaw fell, seeing his seeds shooting across the surface of her stomach.
