Chapter 27 - 27: Feelings
"Calling the attention of flight..."
"That's my flight." EL or Kim Eunji looked at the group of people who was sending her off in the airport. She was wearing a denim loose jumpsuit, oversized t-shirt and her signature baseball cap.
She didn't die her hair back to black as she knew this ash blond color won't last long on her hair.
"So I think... see you all again in two months?" Kim Eunji uttered and the Alice together with other three people who were members of the team smiled.
"Of course. Bees would never leave their Queen." Alice remarks made Kim Eunji to laugh.
"Okay. Two months..."
The group said their goodbyes with Kim Eunji and waved their hands as they watched Kim Eunji's departing backs.
Kim Eunji heaved a sigh of relief when she got inside the airplane.
She was now seated in the business class. Usually she would book her flights in the economy class in the past. But now, she realized there's no harm having this kind of privilege once in a while.
After a very tiring 18 hours of flight from New York to Osaka, Kim Eunji walked out of the airport feeling sick. She had put on her mask and changed into a bucket hat this time to hide her pale face.
She hated long flights. If only she could have teleportation powers, she would surely be happy using it.
She liked visiting countries all around the world. What she didn't like was the means in going there.
"I just hoped noting bad would happen this time just like the last time." She prayed.
However, seems like luck was not on her side as the rain suddenly poured hard when she was on her way out of the airport.

"Aish!" Kim Eunji walked towards the bench and decided to wait there. She then looked at her phone to see if there's any cab available during this hour.
She hated the rain. For some reason, her heart ached when it rains. She didn't know why. She had walked through memory lanes a couple of times but to her dismay, she could not see anything in there.
Also, every time she did, she would have unbearable headaches.
The heavy rain dampen her mood. To make things worse, there was no available cab driver at the hour.
Well, aside from the fact that it's raining, it was also rush hour.
She then decided to look for an accommodation like a hotel for her to stay for the night and she would go to her house in Osaka to pack her clothes.
She heaved a huge sigh when for there were no walking distance hotel nearby. She had no other choice but to wait 'till the rain stopped.
Given with the sad atmosphere because of the rain and her jetlag, she did not realize that she had fallen asleep.
Kim Eunji did not realize that a man clad with his tailor made business suit and shinny shoes was already walking towards her with a few of his security personnel following behind. The man had immediately spotted her the moment he walked out of the VIP exit.
Though he had only seen her back, he had the feeling that he somehow knew her. As he walked towards her, he decided to remove her hat and pulled down her mask which made him have a clear view of her face. He inwardly cursed the moment he realized that his gut was right. He immediately went mad because she let herself to fall asleep in the airport which is a public place.
Though situations of assault and harassments were slim, still, a woman as beautiful as Kim Eunji should not let her guard down and sleep in public places such as the airport.
"Master Johnson." Marco reminded. Yes. The man was none other than Nathan himself.
He was having a two day conference in Osaka that's why he's in Osaka.
Since their last interaction three days ago, no even before their last interaction, the images of her beautiful face had been flashing in his head that it sometimes made him be irritated and moody.
He hated her effect on him. And now here she was peacefully sleeping like a child who had no care about her surroundings.
However, Nathan did not listen to him and to everyone's shock, he scooted and placed Kim Eunji's head on his chest and scooped her up in his arms and carried her princess style.
"Bring her bag with us." He shortly instructed.
There's no way that he would let her continue her sleep in an open space.
"Is the world about to end for real?" Someone whispered. However instead of answering his question, the man beside him hit the back of his neck making him caressed that area to lessen the pain.
"Ah!"
"Stop gossiping if you still want to keep your job.
"Yes sir!" The man answered.

Due to the heavy rain, the traffic started to build up that made their car be stuck in the middle.
"Be careful." Nathan said to the driver.
He said this out of consideration of the sleeping beauty whose head was still in his chest.
For sure, if Kim Eunji would wake up, she would surely go berserk. No, berserk was such a huge term to describe her reaction had she woke up and found out their position.
To simply put it, she would be like a fuming lion and tiger combined and not a kitten when angry.
"Apologies Master." The driver said in a nervous tone.
They drive stopped as they arrived at Nathan's residence in Osaka. As Nathan alighted from the car with Kim Eunji in his arms, the head butler and the servants who were standing in two rows to welcome him were all stunned. They were speechless. But as soon as they saw Nathan looking at them, they immediately bowed down their heads and greeted him with respect.
However, Nathan ignored and walked past through them and headed upstairs to his room.
***
Kim Eunji woke up the following morning in an unfamiliar place. She immediately sat up and checked her surroundings for danger.
She heaved a sigh when she felt that there isn't any danger signs in the room. Also, her hands and legs were not bound together which dismissed the thought of her being abducted by the bad guys. Also, though her clothes were changed to a more comfortable sleepwear, she didn't feel any discomfort on her nether regions which was a good sign that she was not touched last night She felt relieved the moment she realized that there were no tricks installed in the room, too.
The next thing she thought about was how the hell did she end up in the room.
While she was busy on thinking those things, the door suddenly opened which answered her question as she saw a familiar man coming out from the crack. He was wearing a simple whiteT-shirt and short pants and his hair was still dripping. Which means that he just had his shower.
Kim Eunji's eyes widened when she saw the man.
"You're awake." He simply remarked and opened the curtains and the windows to give the room the natural lighting and ventilation.
Kim Eunji groaned the moment the sunrays touches her skin.
"Where am I?" Kim Eunji asked the moment she calmed down herself.
"Japan...in my house." Nathan truthfully answered her.
"Why am I here?" She asked again.
"I brought you here that's why you're here." He answered full of sarcasm.
"Why?" Nathan then intently looked at her when he heard her question.
He himself could not answer that question. Why?
"Does it matter?" He asked her back as he tried to dodge the question.
"Of course it does!" Kim Eunji emphasized. She wanted to know his motives towards her. She slapped his face at Kelly's wedding and they were on each other's thoughts most of the time.
The last time that everything was light between them was during the photoshoot. But she had to make sure that everything would go smoothly and him to be comfortable to achieve results. Therefore, she had to tone down her temper towards him. Excuses...excuses.
"Nothing happened to you right? Then, I don't have to answer that question now." He said that made Kim Eunji scoffed.
"If you won't answer me, I would say you're stalking me." She blurted out which made the man chuckle and eventually laugh.
"My...my... me as stalker? Ridiculous!"
Kim Eunji pouted as soon as she heard his response.
Nathan then slowly approached the bed and then leaned towards Kim Eunji.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kim Eunji's grip on the duvet tightened. But Nathan did not mind her reaction as in almost a whisper, he said "Then, you should be thankful that it's me that who's stalking you because I'm the most handsome stalker in the world if that's the case." He then smirked as he retracted.
Kim Eunji was dumbfounded because of Nathan's shamelessness.
