64 Something to Write (1/2)
Han Jie looked at him with suspicion. She had the feeling that whenever he smiles, something would happen.
'But before I always wanted to see him smile… Now, I'm not so sure.' She thought to herself.
”You… You are acting differently.” Han Jie blurted out honestly. ”What is going on?”
With her asking this, Suzuki Kyou looked at her intently. He still has a smile, but it was different from before.
While waiting for him to answer, Han Jie could not help but rub her cheeks carefully.
”Let me see?” He asked softly. ”No pinching, okay?” She said, asking for assurance, as she was already annoyed at him and was contemplating to kick him or bit him if he would not behave.
She could only contemplate, because she knew that she did not have any guts to hurt him.
Suzuki Kyou nodded.
With that, Han Jie thought that he wanted to check her cheek, so tilted her head to the side as if offering it to be looked at. She was still pouting and unhappily avoiding his gaze.
She was so into her own thoughts that Han Jie did not notice his face getting close. When she did notice it, her brain immediately froze up, making her unable to move as well.
Her whole being was in haywire. Han Jie's heart was beating so fast as if it would burst out of her chest. The situation was probably one of the things that she had fantasized with Master Shu before.
However, Han Jie was still a woman who was not used to anyone who gets too close to her personal space especially if that person was the human version of her Master Shu!
As if sensing that she would be pushing him away anytime now, He suddenly spoke seriously in a whisper, ”Don't move. Don't push me away.”
”Kyou…” Han Jie called out meekly, when she could not take the closeness as well as the way he was staring at her. It was the first time he stared at her as if she was in trouble.
”Shhh, Quiet. Don't talk.”
Han Jie pursed her lips as she held Suzuki Kyou's stare. She was still wearing her sunglasses, which also helped her hide a part of her embarrassment.
Since she was not allowed to speak or move, Han Jie only stared when his face moved closer to hers, and then he kissed her!
Well, for Han Jie, it was still considered a kiss even though his lips only touched the side of her lips. It was like it only happened in a blink of an eye, and gone immediately.
”Kyou… You…” Han Jie called out again, and her voice laced with question.
Suzuki Kyou did not move away from his face immediately. He leisurely looked at her expression with amusement before whispering, ”We are giving the reporters around something to writer for tomorrow.”

It was only an act that Han Jie needed to endure as his temporary fiancé.
While in the car, on their way home, Han Jie wiped her nose with another tissue. The handkerchief she had been using had long since been soaked through and useless to her.
'It was nice of JunJun to bring it along.' She thought.
Han Jun had silently given her the handkerchief after Suzuki Kyou touched her face before leaving.
Earlier, Han Jie had been startled by Han Jun's gesture. She then realized he did it because her nose was bleeding, and he doesn't like the mess. At that time, she had started bleeding again without realizing it.
”Tsk. How long will your nose bleed?” Han Jun asked in disdain as he handed her another box of tissue. ”Should we bring you to the hospital for blood loss already? People who nose bleed a lot must be sick.” He continued.
”Don't worry. I feel fine.” She said assuring, as she box of tissue from him then said 'thanks.'
Han Jie looked out of the car through the window, barely noticing how the street in the city looked like at night. Her plan to go at that time was temporarily postponed as well.
They sat in the car quietly—their minds on different things.
She was in deep thought regarding the act. It seems with the reporters doing a happy dance with Suzuki Kyou's scandals, and it would be a while for things to calm down.
Han Jie had barely noticed the drive back to the hotel. Her mind was still processing the event that just occurred.
They were back at the hotel.
Safe and sound though Jonah had driven them there physically but his mind had not been in the driving.
”Wait,” Han Jun called before she could step out of the car. He then looked at Han Jie pointedly, ”Don't talk when you speak to your father. I will handle the storytelling.” Han Jun said before he stepped out of the car.
He then stretched his arms as if he was tired, then casually walked towards their suite, with hands-on his pocket, leaving them behind.
