Chapter 8 - Hide & Seek

"You have to hide!" Choi Seung-Hyun rushed grabbing hold of Jang Mi's wrist. "Hide in that closet and I'll come and get you when she leaves." He pointed to a small closet by the door.

"Wait! Why am I hiding from your sister?" Jang Mi asked while being dragged.

"If you want to keep this relationship a secret, my sister can't know." Choi Seung-Hyun opened the closet door and gently helped her climb in. "My sister has the biggest mouth compared to everyone I know. She's older than I am and she takes joy in playing me." He said while the door continued to ring.

"Alright. But she won't be here long right?" Jang Mi asked.

"No. I'll send her away as soon as possible." She nodded in reply as he closed the door. "Who is it?" He asked when he reached the phone connected to the outside buzzer.

"Why is it taking so long for you to open the door?" Choi Hye Yoon's voice paused before she spoke again. "Are you watching porn again?"

"What! No! When did I..." Choi Seung-Hyun's eyes were drawn to the closet Jang Mi hid in, hoping she didn't hear his sister's assumptions. "Just come in!" He buzzed her in.

Choi Hye Yoon basically bounced her way across the courtyard. She carried a box filled with DanPatBbang -Bread with red bean paste in the middle- that Choi Seung-Hyun liked. She knew he would have been busy but her mom kept nagging her to check on him. Their mom felt uneasy with her children living out of her home, so she usually checked up on them every now and then. Their mom was busy and couldn't check on Choi Seung-Hyun herself, so she forced Choi Hye Yoon to visit her younger brother. She hasn't seen her little brother in awhile so she thought it'd be good to do so. She was suspicious about the amount of time he took to open the gate, but she thought he was just sleeping.

Hye Yoon arrived to the front of the house and was ready to slip her shoes off when she noticed a pair of sneakers next to her brother's shoes. The shoes were small so it had to belong to a girl. Choi Hye Yoon's eyebrows raised involuntarily. Was her baby brother finally going to date? She'll have to see when he introduces her to his girlfriend. Upon entering the house, she noticed her ladybug house slippers that usually sat in the front wasn't there. She had to walk in with her socks. There is definitely a girl in here. She thought suspiciously.

"Noona! Why are you here?" Choi Seung-Hyun appeared in front of her.

"Mom." She answers blankly walking past him and into his living area. Her eyes spotted two wine glasses placed on the coffee table. "Did you have a guest over?" She asked eyeing him while pointing to the cups.

"Yeah." His hands scratched the back of his neck. "But he left."

"He?" She questioned knowing well he was lying. "Did 'he' take my ladybug house slippers?" She put a heavy emphasis on the word 'He'.

"I threw them out because your ladybug house slippers made my house stink."

"Do you want to die?" She scoffed. "My ladybug slippers don't smell! You better buy me another one!" She lifted the bag of DanPatBbang and smiled brightly, changing her whole mood. "Eat."

Choi Seung-Hyun kept insisting that his sister needed to leave. But she knew his girlfriend or some type of girl was hiding in this house. She knew all too well. She smirked at how cute of her brother to hide her like he was some type of teenager. Hye Yoon couldn't wait to tell her mom and her best friend about Choi Seung-Hyun finally having a girlfriend after a long while. Choi Hye Yoon was just worried about what type of person she was. She wondered if this girl was an idol or not. If she was kind or not. She hoped that she would not use her brother. Whoever she was, she just hoped she didn't hurt her baby brother. He was -after all- very sensitive.

After four hours of his sister walking around Choi Seung-Hyun's house in search for a girl, she finally left. She went in and out of the rooms in his house but seemed disappointed in the outcome of what she found. Choi Seung-Hyun was worried that Jang Mi was cramped up inside the small closet. He opened it to find her hugging her knees to her chest and her head laying peacefully on her knees. A few strands of hair fell in her face as her mouth was slightly open. He found the soft snores that was heard as she slept peacefully.

"No." She whispered. "I can't sing anymore." She whimpered silently.

Choi Seung-Hyun wanted her to speak more, but after waiting longer with the outcome of nothing else coming out, he gave up trying to listen to her. He was curious about what she said. Why was it she couldn't sing? Was she a singer before? Anything Choi Seung-Hyun came up with was dead end. He came to the conclusion that she was just dreaming about him. He thought she dreamed about him faster than most girls did. Whatever it was, he had to ignore it. He was doing this for the company. He just needed to get to know her so they can be comfortable enough to do this. Nothing about her was easy so he needed to get closer to her somehow.

"Jang Mi-ah." He shook her lightly.

"Hmm?" Her eyes slowly opened from her slumber. "Did she leave?" She asked while stretching out her cramped limbs.

"Yeah. She left. Sorry for putting you in that situation. I think we should be fine since my sister couldn't find you." He noted

"That's good." She mumbled as she got out of the closet only to fall flat on the floor from her sleeping legs. "Seriously?" She snapped at herself while rubbing her knees.

"Are you alright?" Choi Seung-Hyun asked concerned about the loud impact she made with the floor.

"Yeah I'm fine." She stood up on her own and bowed deeply letting her hair brush lightly on his floor. "I'll get going now."

"I can drop you off!" Choi Seung-Hyun smiled a small smile.

"No its fine. I'll start charging my phone so we can talk. I'm going to be super busy tomorrow because of training I have to do for the drama." Jang Mi slipped on her sneakers.

"Then let me drop you off. It'll be faster than walking to the subway." He checked his watch that graced his wrist. "Look it's three in the morning the sun'll be rising in a few hours."

"Three? In the morning?" She sighed. "Are you sure? You're not going to fall asleep while coming back?" Jang Mi asked.

"No I'm fine. I usually have a hard time sleeping so I'm fine." Choi Seung-Hyun

Before the two left, Choi Seung-Hyun handed Jang Mi a black mouth mask with the word 'TOP Big Bang' going across and a pair of dark shades. He warned her just in case his sister was waiting outside his house. Jang Mi was forced to put her hood up to help cover her face. Her hair fell out of the hood and cascaded itself down her chest. Choi Seung-Hyun took her wrist and dragged her out. It wasn't like Jang Mi was being forced to leave, but Choi Seung-Hyun's long strides were no match for her short ones. So she felt like she was being dragged out. It was harder for her to catch up as she made her way behind him across his courtyard.

Choi Seung-Hyun had a nice black car with tinted windows. It was one of those imported cars that are expensive to buy. However, to Jang Mi it looked like any other car but that wasn't the case with Choi Seung-Hyun. The beautiful, expensive, imported car is his baby. The car is as expensive and sexy as it looked. Shall we mention again that the car is expensive. Yet, he barely drove it because he never needed to but he wanted to drive in it today. Jang Mi is the only girl -besides his mom and sister- to ever ride in his car. He wanted her to know that she was the luckiest girl alive to ride in his car. But she smiled and jumped into the passenger seat without even noticing the sleek design of the sexy car or the expensive interior leather that was graced on his seat. Everything in the car is expensive. She just didn't care and it caused Choi Seung-Hyun to sigh out in disbelief.

Jang Mi got a weird feeling as Choi Seung-Hyun drove away from his house. Jang Mi felt like someone was staring at her. Choi Seung-Hyun was looking out into the road so she knew it wasn't him. She figured that she was just being paranoid. That was until she noticed a black car in the review mirror. It was following Choi Seung-Hyun's car. She knew the feeling of being followed and it's been about five months since she last felt like that. She couldn't believe it was happening now of all times when she was with Choi Seung-Hyun. Some things just can't be helped.
