I stayed in his arms for a while and the way he stroke my back, calms me. It was like informing me that he'll be always on my side. I doubt if it will happen.


I realized that we're outside, people might recognize him. I decided to pull away and he let me.


"Sorry, I ruined your clothes," I said and wipe my tears with my hands.


"Here," he said as he give me his handkerchief. I gladly accept it since I'm also having runny nose. Crying sucks. "Are you already, okay?," he asked and I nod.


"Yeah, thank you," I said and I don't know why I can't look in his eyes. I'm being timid. "I'll go ahead first," I said as I bid goodbye.


Really, Rosé? After he stayed for you, you'll just leave him there? My inner self told me.


But I can't stay, I want to be alone.


I started walking in the bus stop since I don't have car and Jackson will not pick me up.


"Where are you going?," he asked and I point him on bus stop. We're just near on it so I continued walking. Little did I know that Chanyeol followed me.


"What are you doing?," I asked as I looked around. I am panicking because people might recognized him.


"Are you serious? You'll ride a bus? You're a CEO," he told me and he can't believe that I am now in bus stop.


"I don't have car, I can't drive and Jackson will not pick me up. And who says that CEO cannot ride a bus?," I asked him and he's smiling. Is there something funny on what I said?


"You're really different," he commented and I was like what? "It's too late already, I'll bring you home," he said and I looked at him with my questioning look.


"No, it's fine. I can manage," I told him because it's really not necessary. I also wanted to be alone.


"I insist, don't worry I will be quiet. I will not ask questions," he told me and it seems he knows that I wanted to be alone. "I just need to make sure that you'll be safe in going home," he added. I was about to disagree but people are coming in bus stop and I'm afraid Chanyeol will be caught by his fans. So I grab his wrist and we head on his car. When we're now far in bus stop, I let go of his hand and let him lead the way.


While we are walking, I don't know why he is smiling. Is he okay? I just ignore that and observe the night life of Seoul. The city lights are amazing.


We arrived on the parking lot and he opened the shotgun seat as he assist me in going inside. It's been awhile since I ride his car.


"Can we stop for a while?," I said when we reached a bridge. I don't know its name, but I want to stay for a while. I can see his questioning look but still he obliged.


I head outside and stretched my arms to feel the night breeze. There are only few people so I think they will not notice Chanyeol. Aigoo, this guy shouldn't come out.


"You keep on looking around, are you thinking if someone follows you?," he asked as he went on my side while his hands are on the pocket of his coat.


"I'm looking around because I'm afraid people might recognize you and your name will be on the news tomorrow or Dispatch will take our photo. I don't want scandal, okay?," I said to him and he laughed. He's laughing so hard and I can see all his teeth. Is he okay. "Yah!!!," I shouted at him and he waved at me. Like he is something wait, I'll just finish laughing.


"Sorry," he said as he composed himself. "It's just that you're cute while saying that because your eyes are puffy," he added and I looked away. I'm embarrassed on what he said. "You have nothing to worry about that, Dispatch are not interested on me so that thing will never happen," he said and I'm not convinced.


"Oh, come on, who wouldn't be interested in your personal life? Your fans want to know it and they want to know who the lucky girl is. You're Park Chanyeol, main rapper of EXO, a very talented man," I said to him as I looked on the night view. I stopped when I realized I get overboard on what I said. I looked at him and he is looking at me with amused face.


"Uh-huh, are you one of my fans, Ms. Rosé Park?," he asked more like teasing me. "Are you interested on my personal life?," he added and he is liking it.


"Of course not. And for the record, Mr. Park Chanyeol, you're such a brat for being like that in the meeting earlier," I told him, to change the topic and to stop my heart from beating differently just because he's around.


"I'm really sorry for that, you know me. I handle my business in a different way," he said as he lean on the railings of bridge.


"I know, I still remembered when we have our project together. And when my Marketing Director discussed our project, I already know that you will not agreed on that," I told him and he nods.


"But I'm glad it happened and I'm able to meet you again," he said and I'm shocked on what he said.


What do you mean by that, Mr. Park Chanyeol?
