Chapter 13 - Familiar with his touches? (2/2)
He has a strong dislike for people like her.
”You can't touch me.” After a long pause, she eyes him with a strange calmness. ”In this fake relationship.”
”Pfft.” He looks at her from her head to the toes. Brown eyes. Messy brown hair. Skin with freckles on her nose. A few small pimples on her forehead. No sense of fashion. She doesn't take care of her appearance. People like her are just lazy. ”You have some confidence.”
She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. ”I don't care about what you think about my appearance. But, I don't want to have any sort of physical touch with you. Unless it is an absolute necessity, I don't want to hang out with you.”
”I should be the one saying this.” Kang Si An looks at her with anger. ”You are the one at fault.”
”Shut up.” Manager Jeong narrows her eyes. ”Both of you are at fault.”
”What did I do?” He frowns deeply. ”My only fault is that I crave chocolates when I am nervous. I was nervous before meeting Director Lee. Now, I am frustrated because of her.”
”I doubt that there is anyone in this room who is more frustrated than me,” Kwon Kyuri replies without opening her eyes. She leans back, resting her elbows on his bed.
”I don't let you eat chocolates because of your addiction,” Manager Jeong tells him sternly. ”And you, Miss Kwon. Touching is the absolute necessity to make people believe that you are dating. Si An can act that you are his girlfriend. I have a firm belief in his acting abilities. But, I don't trust you or your abilities. First, you must make an effort to look presentable. Second, you must be familiar with his touches and control your expressions. You should not look like you are forcing yourself. Third, you and Si An have to meet Director Lee.”
”You are kidding me, right?” Kang Si An grabs his hair. ”Why does he wants to meet her?”
”Why do I have to be familiar with his touches?” Kwon Kyuri sits up quickly. ”Look, it sounds perverted. I can't be touched by this guy. That's unacceptable.”
”It's written in the contract that you will hug, kiss, and do other necessary gestures to make it believable.” Manager Jeong shakes her head. She feels like she is dealing with two kids here. Her BP is getting high whenever she looks at their faces.
”That's too much.” Kwon Kyuri grimaces at her. ”I am a traditional woman. I don't like kissing or hugging before marriage.”
”Weren't you suggesting one night stand that day in the store?” Kang Si An chuckles.
”You aren't fluent in sarcasm, are you?” She rolls her eyes. ”Why are you okay with touching?”
”If we have to be in a fake relationship, we have to touch and pretend.” He states the truth. ”Else, nobody would believe us. Besides, I am not keen on touching you. However, the situation calls for it.”
”These two!” Manager Jeong rubs her forehead. If things go like this, nobody would ever believe that they are actually lovers. Director Lee is an experienced man. It will not be easy to fool him. What love? They look at each other like they want to shred each other to pieces.
