Chapter 25 - Miss Me?

It's been a few days since Choi Seung-Hyun had returned from touring around the Asian Countries. Rumors about Choi Seung-Hyun and Bae Jang Mi dating had continued to spread like wildfire. President Yang Hyun Suk started to get annoyed with all the reporters calling the office. The light that lit the fire of this gossip was caused by both Choi Seung-Hyun and Jang Mi posting pictures on their instagram and following each other back. He posed with a rose and she posed with a spinning top. Fans speculation didn't go unheard either. Choi Seung-Hyun was getting a lot of messages from Jang Mi's fans, it was driving him insane. He knew that if Jang Mi wasn't so busy, she would have noticed his fans messaging her as well.
Choi Seung-Hyun hadn't been able to see Jang Mi. Even when he arrived back from his tour. She was busy wrapping up the last few episodes of her drama. It was tiring for her. Most of the time he talked to her through text messages. Even than, she barely replied since she wasn't always by her phone. Choi Seung-Hyun had continued to feel sadden by her absence. However, she was off today and was able to meet him. They were both going to meet each other at a karaoke bar where nobody could bother them in their own private room. Choice Seung-Hyun had arrived before her. He felt like he hadn't seen her at all and wanted a refill of her presence.
Before he could enter a room, a lady had stopped him by grabbing onto his elbow. She looked in her mid forties and she's pretty. However she looked familiar and Choi Seung-Hyun couldn't place where on earth he had seen her. For such an elder lady, Choi Seung-Hyun could tell how beautiful she is. Beside her beauty, she dressed very elgently. Almost too elegant to him.

"Are you Choi Seung-Hyun or T.O.P?" The lady asked with a smile.

"Yes." Choi Seung-Hyun replied. "How may I help you?" He asked politely.

"You're just as handsome in real life as you are in your pictures." The lady kindly complimented him. "I'm Bae Jang Mi's mom." She then added on.

Choi Seung-Hyun suddenly went stiff at the awkward situation. "Oh. Nice to meet you." He bowed awkwardly while shaking her hand.

"You are dating her right? You came here to meet her right?" She questions.

"Yes I am. Were you going to be joining us?" He suddenly asks.

"No. My daughter doesn't know I'm in Korea. I'm going to surprise her soon." She smiled wickedly. "I came here to warn you about my daughter. My daughter isn't everything she seems."

"What do you mean ma'am?" Choi Seung-Hyun felt dumbfounded by this new information.

"Bae Jang Mi will do anything for money. Seeing as she hasn't told you anything about her family, proves I'm right. She ran away to Korea with five hundred thousand dollars. She stole that from me. My biggest regret was putting that girl through lessons teaching her self defense." The lady sighed. "Don't get fooled by her beautiful looks. She's money hungry."

"The Bae Jang Mi that you say you know isn't the one that I know." Choi Seung-Hyun said, defended Jang Mi. He needed proof from this stranger that Jang Mi was actually like that. "Totally opposite of what you're describing actually."

"You'll see soon. My daughter is an amazing actress." Before Choi Seung-Hyun could reply, she turned and left.

Choi Seung-Hyun was surprised by what she said. This whole ordeal had put him into deep thinking. He couldn't understand what situation Jang Mi was in to even steal money from her mom. The Jang Mi he knew wasn't that type of girl to run away with so much money. Steal money from her own mom? That didn't sound anything like the Bae Jang Mi he knew. Should I tell her that her mom is back? Choi Seung-Hyun was confused. He didn't know what to do. The more he got to know of Bae Jang Mi's secret, the less he understood. If Jang Mi was truly like this and just acting all along, Choi Seung-Hyun couldn't like someone like that. He couldn't. However, he knew her enough not to judge her off of what other people were saying. Even if it were her own mom.

"Choi Seung-Hyun!" Choi Seung-Hyun turned around to spot Jang Mi in all her beautiful glory.

"Jang Mi-ah." He said before Jang Mi smashed him into a hug.

The hug felt warm to him since he hasn't been hugged like for a long time. Her tiny arms wrapped around his waist and squeezed him lightly. Jang Mi's head lay still on his chest as she took in his sent like there was no tomorrow. Choi Seung-Hyun's chin sat perfectly on her head as he slowly wrapped his arm around her smaller frame. He did have to bend a little to do so. He was surprised by how easily she hugged him. It was no doubt that he enjoyed the hug. Choi Seung-Hyun didn't want to question it any further. He just embraced the moment.
Bae Jang Mi definitely missed Choi Seung-Hyun. She couldn't deny it. Since his tour, Jang Mi couldn't help but feel the need to want to smell his scent. It was the easiest thing to put her to sleep. His smell reassured her that he was there. Right by her side. As she continued to take small intakes of him, she could feel herself getting weak. What Jang Mi was most worried about had happened. She couldn't sleep well without his scent being by her. That scared her the most. Choi Seung-Hyun might exit out of her life and she will never have a good night's sleep.
Jang Mi suddenly felt Choi Seung-Hyun push her shoulders to create a small space between their bodies. Choi Seung-Hyun looked deeply into her eyes as she stared back at him. Within an instant, Choi Seung-Hyun leaned down and took her lips into his with no regrets. He's been wanting to kiss her soft lips since the first time they almost kissed but she fainted. He wanted to kiss her before anyone could disturb them like so many times before. Jang Mi felt herself getting dizzy and she had to bunch up his shirt into her fist just to hold on. The kiss drove her over the top and her hands slowly went to wrap around his neck. She ran her hands through his hair, pulling and tugging at it lightly. Choi Seung-Hyun had walked both their bodies to a wall and held her there to help support her body. Before they could die of suffocation, Choi Seung-Hyun pulled himself off of her and leaned his forehead against hers. Both of them were breathing hard yet they both had a big smile on their face.

"You miss me that much old man?" Jang Mi joked only to receive a chuckle from Choi Seung-Hyun.

The Bae Jang Mi I know, definitely isn't the way her mother described.
