CEO'S HIRE GIRLFRIEND
Chapter 8. Relinquish

HOTEL ROOM '014'. 11.00 P.M

"Basic shit! Why can't you sleep anyway? Why does he always have to be the cause! There's no way that just a kiss doesn't mean it could make me feel like a teenager who just lost the virginity of her lips. I used to do it with Jong Hyun, but what's wrong with Tae Woo is that I just did it. You fucking Tae Woo ! How dare he kiss me !"

Eun Jo closed her eyes tightly using a pillow. Immersed in the shadow of the incident earlier.

"It's my fault I did it too! What's with my feelings, I might be lulled in her kiss."

Eun Jo is inexhaustible as to why she could easily fall into Tae Woo's charm. Is he so longed for Jong Hyun that Tae Woo becomes his impingement. But there really was no shadow of Jong Hyun.

"I'm trying to sleep instead of thinking about that, which is what Tae Woo would have made ordinary."

Eun Jo starts to fix her sleeping position, set his breath to be regular and began to close his eyes slowly after offering prayers to God so that his sleep this time is sound and no shadow of Tae Woo as a ghost appears in his dream.

.......

.......

At the same time, the other occupants were in the room next to Eun Jo.

HOTEL ROOM '015'. 11.00 P.M

"****! I don't think first kisses are like this."

Tae Woo smacked his lips. Lips that are no longer virgins.

Dug. dug. dug heart deguban sound felt hit the palm of the hand that he attached to his chest. Too soon.

"Why did I suddenly want to kiss her? Why didn't he refuse?"

Tae Woo admitted that he felt a strange sensation when he was close to Eun Jo. Either touching, clasping her hands, caressing her cheeks even more severely as she kissed him. The blood swirls faster and the heart beats harder. Is it because he has never been close to a woman before, so the sensation is like this ? is that really all ?

Actually, he just wanted to prank Eun Jo or rather dramatize the play he was playing, but he did not know if the side effects were like this. Not just once but twice he kissed Eun Jo. He admitted once again, if the second kiss was on purpose, because he felt addicted to the kisses of Eun Jo's lips are tempting and really unexpected also dipper together, Eun Jo returned the kiss. It is undeniable that kisses are done because they both want to be an uncontrollable kiss, a hot kiss, a misleading kiss. It was fortunate that he still knew his limits, otherwise he would have made Eun Jo die from being out of breath.

"Argg, those things confuse me."

Tae Woo closed his eyes by pulling the blanket over his head. Cover the wet black unraveled head frame after showering. Want to get rid of Eun Jo's shadow for a moment and suppress the side effects she still feels.

HOTELIS. 08.00 A.M

'clek's'

"Oh!"

Eun Jo immediately threw away her face, as soon as she found out who came out of the room '015'.

He immediately walked away from the maker of his heart could not calm down last night.

"Why him? Is he mad at me ?" Tae Woo shook his head looking at Eun Jo's strange demeanor. Tae Woo immediately follows Eun Jo to the hotel restaurant.

.......

.......

"For Tae Woo Eun Jo" said Yeo Woo, who passed by the hallway to the hotel restaurant.

"You why? Are you guys fighting?" Yeo Woo asked to see Eun Jo not walking parallel to Tae Wo, as if Eun Jo was avoiding him and very clearly visible on their faces when playing angry.

"No!" they said it together and turned each other's faces.

"Haha, you guys are like kids. If you have a problem, you better talk about it. It's not good to keep your problems protracted" Yeo Woo said.

"I didn't fight Tae Woo. We are fine," Eun Jo replied reassuringly that there was no dispute between them - even if there was. She couldn't possibly explain the truth to Yeo Woo.

"No. You seem to be angry with me?"

Eun Jo raises her eyebrows towards Tae Woo.

Eun Jo took a breath, she knew that she was in an unfavorable position. "I told you no, baby."

Eun Jo is flashing a made-up smile towards Tae Woo. The words he had just spoken were very heavy. How long should he keep pretending?

"really ? why didn't you give me a greeting this morning. Prove that you're not mad at me. Give me my regards." Tae Woo Pinta.

"Good Morning, Sa-yang." Eun Jo obeys Tae Woo's will, although she doesn't know there's a scene in the script.

"That's not what I mean, Sa-yang. But this... "

Tae Woo pointed at his right cheek with his index finger. It was as if his looks were eager to be pampered. But for Eun Jo, Tae Woo looks like a furry angel devil. Pingin was stabbed with sandals.

"Good morning kiss you used to do in the office."

'uh? Since when have I been? I can't believe he pranked me - again! It wasn't enough that he bullied me yesterday. Okay, I'll follow what you want, Grand Master. I'll make you regret this charade!' inner Eun Jo is upset.

'The 'Cup.. Cup.. Cup.. Cup.'

I heard the word 'cup' four times. Eun Jo kisses Tae Woo not only on his right cheek, but his left cheek, forehead and lips. Give more than Tae Woo asks.

"I'm not mad at you, baby. Sorry I forgot to give you a good morning kiss."

Eun Jo blinked her eyes a few times towards Tae Woo, like a child asking for forgiveness. Of course make Tae Woo show his frequent again.

"Aish you guys! Can't help but show off your affection in front of me. You make me jealous."

Temari who was in front of them as ignored and only as a romantic telenovela audience.

"What is envy for? Surely Mr. Jong Hyun is very romantic with you, surely Tae Woo is lost romantically," Eun Jo said with a glance at Tae Woo who was beside him, hinting that he was mocking.

"Haha.it seems so," Yeo Woo's crisp laugh.

"You're not with Hyeong, noona ?"

"He's still taking care of something. Oh that's it." Wave Yeo Woo towards Jong Hyung who is seen at one of the resto tables.

Cup. "Good Morning, baby." Yeo Woo's brief kiss on Jong Hyun's lips focused on the tablet.

Eun Jo who saw it felt something stuck in her heart, not the jealousy she felt as usual, indeed she still looks not like if her ex was making out, he said, but this time it faded a little. Why not, because he started letting it go ?

"Hn?"

Jong Hyun furrowed his brows in wonder.

"Hehe, I'm imitating them, baby. You should have seen them, early in the morning had already spread intimacy. Eun Jo kisses Tae Woo good morning." Obviously Yeo Woo as he wrestled spoiled on Jong Hyun's arm.

"Oh, we'd better get a meal right away."

Jong Hyun did not want to respond too far, especially with regard to the newlyweds. Not wanting jealousy to drain the heart.

.......

UNIVERSAL STUDIO SINGAPORE. 1030

"Wahh, the place is so fun. What is this amusement park called?" Eun Jo asked who was amazed by the scenery she saw, an amusement park that was so spacious, crowded with visitors, many rides were presented, parade dances, and , clown and a globe icon in the entrance gate. His whole life he never entered the amusement park. His father used to be busy working to meet his daily needs and school fees. Play with friends is just going to the mall, concerts, beach and cafe instagrammable.

His frustration with Tae Woo had disappeared instantly when he knew he would be invited to the amusement park.

"It's called Universal studio. You'll be able to have fun all day. It's wearing it."

Tae Woo presents a bando mickey mouse patterned black and white polka-dot that complement visitors to enter. It's incomplete if we don't become a part of it.

"Hm? Wear this? It's funny." At that moment Eun Jo is like returning to the world of a child, acting childish.

Like a child who has just invited parents to go on a trip.

Tae Woo, who sees the cute level of Eun Jo, is only able to smile knots, seeing Eun Jo who is the real figure. Gleeful and beautiful too.

"What are we going to ride first ?" Eun Jo's question breaks Tae Woo's daydream of enjoying God's creation etched into Eun Jo's face and one part that is very tempting to keep on looking at.

"You don't want to go around first? Okay, I'll take you there."

Tae Woo links his fingers to the sidelines of Eun Jo's fingers, taking him to follow her. Tae Woo doesn't want Eun Jo to disappear from his sight.

Eun Jo doesn't mind Tae Woo's attitude, the most important thing right now is that he can have fun.

.......

.......

.......

"Hoeekk... hoeek..hah... hah ~How much am I staying?" Eun Jo holds her shirt on her chest.

He needs oxygen and calmness at this time. He had just ridden a roller coaster that he had never known before.

Eun Jo is just the origin according to where Tae Woo took her.

"You why?" Tanya Tae Woo who is without guilt is looking at Eun Jo. Unhelpful.

"Not to overdo it like that. Want to try another ride ?" Tawar Tae Woo who is happy to see Eun Jo suffer.

"No.. I'm going to the bathroom first."

"Yes, don't be long. I'll buy a drink first. I'll wait there."

Nod Eun Jo.

.......

.......

.......

"Dam. The toilet is full. Tae Woo must have waited a long time."

For 15 minutes he went to the toilet. Eun Jo is about to move on from exactly but...

Sret

"Hmpph!"

Eun Jo groaned to find someone pulling her and covered her mouth from behind. Fear that a stranger has kidnapped her. But after a few meters away from the original place and from the crowd of people, the 'kidnapper' released his arms.

"Who are you. uuu !" Eun Jo gets stuck as she turns to face the 'kidnapper's' face.

"Jong Hyun's? You here ?"

"Hn. Sorry to have brought you uncomfortable. Yeo Woo brought me here."

"Why are you pulling me all of a sudden ? then where's Miss Yeo Woo?" Eun Jo asked, looking for Yeo Woo, afraid of being alone with Jong Hyun.

"I'm not with him. He met his old friend. I have something to talk to you about, Eun Jo."

Jong Hyun tried to grab and hold Eun Jo's hand so that she approached him, but Eun Jo instead brushed aside and took a few steps back.

"I told you, there's nothing we need to talk about anymore. We already have our own partners. What if they know we're seen together ?"

"Eun Jo, I know you don't love Tae Woo. He's just your escape and you know I'm forced to do this. Don't you want to end this, Eun Jo ? Are we going to lie to each other's feelings? We're just gonna hurt somebody else."

Jong Hyun immediately spoke to the point, no need for further pleasantries, whether he listened or not, he just wanted to express his feelings that were still stuck.

"You're right. But what's the point of us coming back, anyway we'll hurt each other. We seem to hurt others, but with our sacrifice others will feel happy. You are! You can make Yeo Woo, your family happy, build your company, while if you're with me we still hurt them. What is less than Yeo Woo ? she's so perfect… "

Eun Jo gave an explanation to Jong Hyun, either the words just came out of his lips. This time he did not shy away or still harbored the pain, but he was tired of being the third person, between Jong Hyun's relationship with Yeo Woo, his family and company. Eun Jo does not want to be the destroyer of the relationship.

"If this is the way, why don't we just go, Jong Hyun. We're not in a position where we can choose!"

Eun Jo began to hold back tears that began to force her out, her eyes began to glaze over.

"Hm. I think I gave up on convincing you Eun Jo. I admit to despair this is my own result. But I will never regret loving you. You're not my destiny, but you're a part of my life. I hope we can make each other happy. We live not to seek the meaning of happiness that we can get, but to seek what is the use of us to make others happy. I'm sorry to bother you again, Eun Jo. May you find your happiness."

It is implied on Jong Hyun's face if he is disappointed, frustrated, desperate and doesn't know what else to do. Jong Hyun drew closer to Eun Jo, stroking for the last time, looking into those eyes the last time, his love was over. There will be no tomorrow to return to his love.

Cup

"For the last time. Thank you for being a part of my happiness, Eun Jo," said Jong Hyun as he kissed Eun Jo on the forehead, kissing her with wisdom, knowing that this moment would never be etched into his life again. After kissing and hugging Eun Jo for the last time, Jong Hyun then left Eun Jo, going away without looking back at her again.

"Hiks. hiks. huaaaa. If only you could understand how I feel right now. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Why does our story become like this."

Eun Jo cries out so much, she lets out her unstoppable sobs, cries for the steps she takes, cries for the loss, cries for the pain, cries for the pain, crying for the one he once loved and crying for regret. Eun Jo sat on the ground holding tightly to the end of the skirt that became her impingement. Seeing Jong Hyun's back fade from his sight. Just like that time, seeing Jong Hyun walk away from her.

From far away, there was someone who saw the poignant incident. But he prefers to be quiet and let the girl vent what she feels.

.......

.......

.......

"Darling, where have you been?" Yeo Woo asks who managed to meet Jong Hyun in the park, after he tried to contact him, but was inactive.

"I'm tired. We'd better get back to the hotel."

"You're okay?"

Yeo Woo doesn't know what happened to Jong Hyun, his face is pale and there are tears left.

"Eh."

"alright. Let me drive." Yeo Woo held Jong Hyun's hand towards the car park.

THE HOTEL ROOM '013'. 06.00 P.M

"Do you love me, Yeo Woo?" Jong Hyung asked suddenly as Yeo Woo walked up to him with a glass of tea.

"Huh? Why are you asking like that?"

It was almost as if the tea glass Yeo Woo was holding slipped out of her hand, startled by Jong Hyun's question about his feelings.

"Jawab it."

"Yes of course. I love you so much. Well~ I know you never loved me, Jong Hyun. I know you just had to. I know you still love your lover very much, but you're trying to hide it. You're trying to accept all this. You don't talk much when I'm chatty. You're not mad when I make a mistake, because you never thought I existed."

Yeo Woo looked down at the shadow of his face in the tea water in the glass he was holding, not daring to stare at Jong Hyun.

"Do you want to see me happy?"

"Of course," Yeo Woo replied spontaneously, looking at Jong Hyun's ebony eyeballs.

"If I wanted to be with my girlfriend first, would you allow it?"

"But we're engaged."

"We can end this before we get married."

"Well you're right. We can end this. I'll do it for you because I love you." It's hard to agree with Jong Hyun's wishes.

"Can you bring us together?"

"Hm. If you can help." It was hard to feel the word coming out of Yeo Woo's throat. Feeling unwilling to lose Jong Hyun.

"I want Eun Jo."

Preangggl

That's enough to make Yeo Woo in disbelief. The glass he held from earlier fell and broke apart.

"Huh? Eun Jo's ? why is he ? she's Tae Woo's girlfriend."

"Surely he is the person I love very much. Wanted it. Nah! I don't want it, but I need it! Can you ?"

"I-I can't. Eun Jo belongs to Tae Woo now. And I can see if Tae Woo loves Eun Jo too."

Yeo Woo was worried about his decision to help Jong Hyun, but he wanted to see Jong Hyun happy but on the other hand he did not want his brother's happiness to be snatched away.

"So you can't ?"

"If you can't get the person you love. I'll make you love me." Yeo Woo clenched her hands to her chest, trying to strengthen her heart. Saying his beliefs.

"really ? can you erase my love ? take away my pain ? remove the shadow ? he's irreplaceable." Jong Hyun approached Yeo Woo.

"Now look at me ! I will try, no matter how, if loving her makes you tormented. I'll take that pain away."

Yeo Woo cupped Jong Hyun's face, looking into those dark eyes. Saying a promise that he himself is not sure he can. Eliminate the traces of Eun Jo's love in Jong Hyun's long-stopped heart.

"Emmm... " Yeo Woo kisses inside Jong Hyun's lips, as if transferring the love he has for Jong Hyun, even though he knows only a kiss cannot reciprocate his feelings. Jong Hyun silently shook his head, not responding to the kiss he received. Because it feels bland, not what it wants.

Yeo Woo was still staring fixedly at the ebony's eyes.

"I love you, Jong Hyun. Just look at me! If he comes, I'll throw him out. If you hurt you, I'll heal him. If he expects you back, then you've forgotten him. But if you can't and you don't want it out of your mind, then just imagine me… "

" .…Eun Jo."
