Missing You
First Day.

"Is it still sick?" Mr. Chang touched my neck. I reflexively move my body forward. I opened the bag and took the mirror. There's a red mark on my left neck. I looked at Mr. Chang with an annoyed look.

Not to mention my annoyance, it turns out that Mr. Chang did not take me home. We stopped at a restaurant. "I'm sorry for my behavior, I'll buy you lunch as my apology"

"No need sir, I don't want any news related to Me." I look around. "Just calm down, it's safe here". He opened the door for me.

Won't want me to get out of the car and follow where he's going. The waiter greeted us politely. They took us to a place that was booked.

It turns out this is a private restaurant that is often visited by celebrities. I looked around and found some faces that often appeared on the glass screen. I don't feel worthy to be here.

Mr. Chang watched me. "Is there someone you know?" I woke up and stopped looking around. Mr. Chang gave me a menu book. "What do you want to eat?"

Some of the menu names here are very difficult to spell. But I recognized the food in front of him with the word spagetti. I pointed to one of the foods with the preposition spagetti. "Drinking is up to Mr. Chang."

"Why do you always call me that, when I'm no longer your boss". I thought for a second. "Do I have to call you Uncle?"

Mr. Chang laughed lightly. "You once called me Oppa at home. Why don't you ever call me that again?" my face was red with embarrassment.

"Was filming in Busan smooth, sir?" I can't change my calls yet. And that's the right thing I'm doing right now. "Have you seen the news lately?" he turned around asking me.

"Are you in touch with your partner in the drama?" Mr. Chang tried to look me in the eye. "You jealous?" Why does this person answer questions with other questions. I'll never answer that.

"Do you believe all the news you hear?" I looked into his eyes. "Don't every story have a solid basis for publication?" I turned around to ask him. "Sometimes news comes up without any confirmation by its source and that's what happens to me often."

I thought a little about his words. Indeed, many news that finally after being examined is not true. They are just looking for a sensation that can raise fame. "You can't be my partner if you're too trusting in all that news." Who wants to be your partner. I sneered.

He held my hand. I was surprised he did it in public. "I just did all the disrespectful things to you, only to you Jin Ae." How can this please me.

He said he did all that to me. It makes me like a woman who wants to be treated badly. "I'm glad you said it. I'm not happy with all of you treating me that way."

"I can't help myself against you" I was slightly stunned. Is this a love statement or something else? I felt confused for a while. That's when the food we ordered came. It looks so pretty, it makes me unable to eat it.

"I was astonished by the decision of Father to terminate my employment contract" Mr. Chang looked at me as he occasionally stuffed meat into his mouth. "After that incident were you not afraid to work for me?"

I'm shaking. "Why aren't you afraid? You're hurt just because you're in and out of my house". I feel something strange. Why don't I get scared to go in her house again. His words have a point.

"Mother doesn't want to see me again?" Mr. Chang was also looking at me. "I want you to be around me but not as a maid" I thought hard. "Then what do you want me to be?"

Our conversation became too serious. I felt a little flutter when he said he wanted me around. "You're still not ready and you deserve it" I'm surprised.

Whaties??? What answer is that. Did he put me down. Or he doesn't think I'm on the same level as him. I feel low now. As if all the walls were pressing on me.

Mr. Chang my hands are trembling a little. "You believe all the news about me but never get angry, but you don't fight no matter how I treat you. Like today"

I fight, what does it mean not to fight. "What I did to you can be said to be harassment but you never get angry or report to the police." My hands were shaking and I hid under the table.

"Why do you accept how I treat you?"

That's because I feel comfortable with you. "Is it because I'm an artist or is it because my face is handsome or something?"

I stood up "I want to go to the restroom" I walked into the restroom with a slight tremble. What am I supposed to say. I really don't know one answer to Mr. Chang's question. I doubt I like it. But I don't hate him either.

I exited the restroom and sat back in front of Mr. Chang. "Take your meal and I'll take you home" I stared at the rest of the spaghetti I had to eat. "I don't know the answer to every question. All I know is I feel comfortable when I'm near you. I was wrong to let you treat me. But I don't mind" I've already answered him.

"That means you still have doubts about your own feelings. And I can't be around you anymore." That word hit my heart. My heart suddenly felt pain. "Why didn't you give me a chance to clear my doubts?" Mr. Chang smiled.

"What do you want to do with me?" he smiled with his face. "Dating" the word just came out of my lips. I must be a fool by now. Mr. Chang said "I can't date like anyone else. I can't take you to watch, walk in an amusement park or walk alone in a park." I understand all that.

"I will determine the place" I hope there is a desire from Mr. Chang to accept my invitation. "Tomorrow I have all day, you seek his place and I will pay for it all" He shows his strength again.

"No. Because tomorrow's my plan then I'll pay for it all." We looked in the eye. "Let's take you home." I stood up and prepared to leave. Mr. Chang took my hand and held it. I let him and walked out of the restaurant together.

In the car we didn't talk much. I looked around and we arrived at gwangjin-gu. I took off my seat belt. Mr. Chang pulled my hand and caught my face in his hand. He kissed my lips.

When he took off his hand, I pulled up his shirt and kissed him right on the lips. We kissed for a long time until I was out of breath. My face is red like a crab. Mr. Chang hugged me and put my head on his shoulders.

"We can go now for a date if you want. Or just go to a hotel." I pushed him and got upset. "Tomorrow, tomorrow" I replied slowly.

Mr. Chang grabbed me and kissed me again before he opened the car door. I ran into the house with my heart beating hard.
