rhapsody de l'amour: Love in the ice

Chapter 16: Jealousy

Jaejoong's eyes followed Jaein as she mingled around the crowd that night. He observed her from afar, as he knew that she would not talk to him again after what he just did earlier. He realised that he could had been wrong, and misunderstood her for the whole time. But though he was desperate to know what happened to her note, he could not do anything about that until he went back to Korea. So meanwhile, he stole as many glances at Jaein, as humanly possible without her noticing, because he had missed her so much.

She had changed quite a lot. Now that she actually paid MORE attention to her looks, she was looking more and more beautiful than a year ago. In fact, she was becoming TOO charming to him, she was attracting quite a bit of attention from the other young men from the other organisations in the party.

And what totally sucked for Jaejoong, was that he wanted to go up and pull her away into his arms, claiming her as HIS, and shielding her from all those straying eyes of all "the flies" around her. But he could not do that...

So all he could do was to sulk in his heart, whilst stealing glances at Jaein, who was smiling so sweetly at all "the flies". But not even ONCE looking in his direction, or acknowledging his presence...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flashes of Jaejoong's politely conversing with the guests appeared within Jaein's vision when she spoke to the guests throughout the night. It was as if he would not leave her alone. He always seemed to be in her line of sight whenever she was socialising. And it was hard for Jaein not to notice him, despite trying her very best to mentally block his face out.

She still could not help noticing his face shine out from amongst all the other guests. It felt as if though the place was so crowded, there were only the two of them, and he was just standing in front of her face, vying for her attention.

Moreover, there were many female guests gathered around him, trying to get his attention, and flirting with him. After graduation, and some time in university and working in the society, he was looking much more suave and poised than before. And even though he was still pretty much as cold as before, his male charisma was increasing, and she could sense it, even if she was miles away. He is a kingka afterall. In that suit, how could the rest compare to him? He was a natural-born star amongst all the male guests that night, shining brightly, and sticking out like a sore thumb to Jaein.

It annoyed her very much, because she still felt something for him, despite being mad at him. But no matter what she did, his face was still always there in front of her, along with the crowd of buzzing "bees" around him, the "flower". So she busied herself with the numerous guests that her CEO had introduced to her, trying to block his face and all the women around him out, even if it was futile.

As the night slowly came to an end, the guests slowly parted ways and left in their vehicles. Jaein was waiting for her car to be brought over by the valet when she noticed Jaejoong coming out from the door with a bunch of "bees" still hovering around him. She was quite annoyed, so when her car came, she slammed her car door very hard before zooming off at high speed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jaein slammed her car door. She reached her apartment, and walked angrily from the carpark to the lift lobby, when complaining rather loudly...

Jaein (punching the lift button a few times angrily and impatiently): STUPID KIM JAEJOONG!!! HOW CAN HE INSULT ME LIKE THAT, AND THEN GO PARADE AROUND WITH A POSSE OF FLIRTATIOUS SLUTS IN FRONT OF MY FACE!!! I HATE HIM!!! I HATE HIM!!! DON'T EVER LET ME SEE HIM AGAIN, OR ESLE I'LL... I'LL....

Jaein punched the lift button a few times angrily and impatiently. The lift doors opened, and she entered the lift.

Jaein: AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

A pair of arms had slipped around Jaein's waist and grabbed her, pulling her backwards towards his body, while carrying her inwards into the lift. She screamed in shock, and tried to push herself away from her attacker. But she wasn't strong enough.

Jaejoong: You'll do what, huh?

Jaein ceased struggling, and turned around in shock when she heard the voice of her attacker. When she turned around to face Jaejoong, he could not help himself anymore. He could smell the faint sweet scent from her shampoo, feel her body's warmth against his body, and the sight of her pouting strawberry lips lured him so much to plant a kiss on them. He swiftly stole a kiss on her lips. Jaein's eyes opened wide with shock, and she struggled futilely again to break loose from his death hold.

Jaein (hitting his arms angrily): GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!! YOU JERK!!! LET ME GO!!!

Jaejoong loosened his arms, and pressed the "emergency stop" button making the lift jerk to sudden stop, making Jaein lose her balance and fall back towards him. She struggled to get away from him, and to make the lift move again, but he body-blocked the lift controls.

Jaein (staring at Jaejoong with daggers in her eyes): WHAT DO YOU WANT?!!!!

Jaejoong moved closer towards Jaein cornering her, and blocking her from running away from him. His body was so near to hers, that even if she moved just an inch, she would bump into him immediately.

Jaejoong: Don't you understand anything at all?

Jaein (irritatedly): WHAT???!!!!

Jaejoong: Ha ha ha... no need to sound so irritatedly...

Jaein: Who... WHO said so!!!.... I'm NOT irritated AT ALL!!!

Jaejoong: No?... Come on... I know that you're JEALOUS of ALL the beautiful ladies around me tonight...

Jaein (stuttering slightly): I...I....I've got MUCH BETTER things to do than to be jealous of those... those... women....

Jaejoong: Is that right? I thought you craved for MY attention... as much as... them...

Jaein (annoyed at his self-centred arrogance): WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU DO!!! JUST GO BACK TO THOSE WOMEN AND LET ME GO!!! NOW!!!!

Jaejoong (smirking): You can go if you want... I'm not stopping you...

He raised both his hands to free her escape paths, but not moving his body one bit. If she wanted to leave, she would bump into his body before getting past him to the lift controls. Jaein raised her arms to block her body from his, while she tried to move pass Jaejoong, but she couldn't squeeze pass him, no matter how she pushed, as the space he left for her was too small, and he refused to budge at all. And all her tries, just made her bump into him more times, albeit unwillingly, but much to Jaejoong's delight.

Jaein (irritatedly staring up at Jaejoong's face): ARGHHH!!! KIM JAEJOONG!!! I HATE YOU!!!

Jaejoong crashed his lips into Jaein's, his hands going around her face, and pulling her face towards his, as he kissed her passionately.

Jaejoong couldn't stand it anymore. The sight of Jaein trying so hard to get pass him made him want to hold her in his arms even more. He wanted to just kiss all the bad memories away, and to bring back all the good times they had shared together.

Jaein felt her body melting and softening as Jaejoong kissed her. Slowly her struggling ceased. Jaejoong broke the kiss and looked at Jaein lovingly.

Jaejoong: Don't hate me... Cos I still love you... A lot...

Jaein (sulking): Liar.

Jaejoong: I'm not lying... It's true... I didn't get your note at all... I thought you didn't want me anymore... That's why you left without a word...

Jaein: No need to explain anything. I'm no one to you. Moreover... I won't believe you again... EVER...

Jaein's thoughts: No matter WHAT you say... I won't believe you again... I won't let my heart be broken again by you...

Jaejoong (looking away dejectedly): I understand... It was wrong of me to insult you like that just now... I'm sorry... I won't disturb you ever again...

Jaejoong moved away and stood in front of the lift controls, he pressed the "emergency stop" button to let the lift move again. Both stood in silence.

*DING LEVEL 33*

The lift reached Jaein's apartment level, and the doors opened.

Jaein walked out of the lift and towards her apartment.

Jaejoong: Bye... Forever...

*SLAM*

The lift doors closed.

Jaein turned around to look at the lift.

She felt a nagging ache in her heart.

Did she do the wrong thing by shutting Jaejoong out?

But if it's the right thing to do, why does her heart ache so badly that she feels like she's going to die?
