After spending half a day in his new office, Eliz pulled the suitcase he had left in the lobby to go home. As soon as he set foot out of YJ, Eliz immediately walked to the taxi he had booked through the app.
"Sir, please come to this address!" Eliz said, pointing out the address he recorded on the paper.
The taxi driver read it and confirmed that there was no wrong address. "Oh, this is S Tower's address, right?" tanyakanya. Eliz agreed and relaxed his body for a moment during the trip. He was too tired because he had not rested at all since setting foot in the country now in residence by his mother.
"Miss, we're at our destination" the driver said, as Eliz sat quietly shutting his eyes. The girl then sat up straight and peered outside. Then he checked the taxi price and paid.
"Thank you, driver!" Eliz said to the driver who handed him the suitcase. The driver replied with a warm smile and left the place. Rarely did he get such a polite passenger.
Eliz, who looked a little tired, walked into the S Tower and climbed to the floor of a restaurant. Once there, a waiter asked him a few questions before dropping him off at the table that the person he was going to meet had ordered. Afterwards, Eliz ordered the food without waiting for the man to arrive. He even immediately enjoyed his order while waiting.
On the sidelines of the chew, Eliz looked around to relieve a bit of his sense of boredom. The gaze continued to explore until it stopped at the table not far from his seat. A handsome man had just sat in that place and looked apologetic. But Eliz's observant eyes saw that the man did not feel guilty at all. Men express themselves as when he is dragged to a place that he does not like.
'The man must have been forced into a blind date, ' thought Eliz who could see the little expression of the girl who was with the man due to their table positions crossing each other. It's a shame that the girl's hope won't happen. After Eliz finished swallowing the last mouthful of his food, the chair in front of him sounded creaking. Eliz began to focus on the person in front of him despite feeling confused.
"Sorry, can I sit here for a minute?" Asked the handsome man he had noticed since.
"You've sat down. Why ask again?" Said Eliz who immediately put on a sweet smile because he was aware of the glare that was presented by the male partner earlier. The man felt bad hearing it.
"And.. can you tell me what to do to the woman who is staring unhappily at it?" Then Eliz asked without changing his inappropriate expression. The man felt even more uneasy about having disturbed the person he impulsively took advantage of.
Since the man was still silent, Eliz gave a suggestion.
"Friends? A boyfriend? A co-worker? Friend's sister? Who do you choose?" Ask Eliz.
"What?" the man's reaction was shocked. Then he says, "Ah.. Then, my friends?" Choose it after a little understanding of the situation that Eliz intends to help.
"The woman's headed this way!" eliz said commemorating in a somewhat humbled tone.
"Why is Oppa sitting here? Didn't Oppa say there was some sudden business?" Ask the girl who is not happy. Eliz could see the displeased expression of the man in front of him every girl called him a familiar snobs.
"Your date?" Tanya Eliz started her role.
"No. Just an acquaintance," the man replied without first answering the question the girl asked. Feeling neglected made the girl yell in annoyance, "Ben Oppa!!"
"Can you keep your tone of voice? This is a public place!" Eliz said with a haughty face displeased. He then sipped the wine before him gracefully. His behavior seemed to be increasingly insinuating the attitude of the girl. The girl then left them with a restraint of embarrassment and annoyance.
After the girl's departure. Suddenly Eliz realized that they were the center of attention. And in an unpleasant way Eliz knew that the man in front of him was quite well known by the community. Some people were whispering while taking photos towards them.
"He's gone" Eliz said.
"Ah. yeah. Thank you for your help" the man said without any additional movement like leaving his seat.
"Are you famous?" Ask Eliz without saying anything. He was not happy to know that someone had taken his picture without his permission.
"You don't know me?" Asked the man, somewhat surprised. He must be really famous.
"I just came to Korea today" Eliz replied, coding his suitcase on the side that the man didn't notice.
"Ah, so it seems. You are very fluent in Korean. I just realized you were a crossbreed" the man said after watching Eliz's face closely.
"My name is Kim Ian ( ⁇ ). I am famous for the name Benjamin. I work as an actor." Ben introduced himself.
"Actor? Actor at what level? Lee Min - ho? Gong Yoo?" Eliz asked trying to figure out how famous the man was.
"Maybe Ji Chang Wook's level?" Ben tries to find a comparison. Eliz was shocked to hear that.
"Really's? THE OMG? You're that famous?" Shocked Eliz. He quickly reached into his phone in the bag and checked the truth. He then cursed in his heart because it turned out that the man was really very famous. Eliz also discovered that it was 27 years old according to Korean age. This means Ben is 26 years old internationally which means 5 years older than Eliz.
"Are you okay?" Ben asked who was worried about Eliz's face of shock.
"Yes, I'm fine." Answer Eliz. "Btw, I'm Eliz Lee, singer-songwriter."
"It's nice to meet you" Ben said with a faint smile. The man was basically not a person who smiled often. He is more like the cold type of man who likes to be alone but will be very chatty to the people closest to him.
"Yup, nice to meet you" Eliz replied. Before long, his eyes caught the man who made an appointment with him at that place. Ben is following Eliz's view.
"Is he the owner of this seat?" Ask Ben.
"Yes, he is." Eliz replied badly. Ben nodded in understanding. He got up from his chair and left.
Sreekk...
"Who?" Asked the man who had just sat in front of Eliz. The man does not recognize Ben because he can only see his back.
"New friend," Eliz answered briefly. "So, do you want to sit down or go?" Eliz asked the man who was also not less handsome than Ben. The man was the son and assistant of his confidant.
"Just go. I still have a lot to do," the man replied leisurely to Eliz. They seemed close and comfortable with each other.
"OKs. Let's go now" Eliz got up and walked to the exit. The man took Eliz's suitcase and brought it. He even paid for all the orders of the girl.
After exiting the S Tower, a driver was waiting and opened the door and bowed respectfully to Eliz and the man. After the driver stuffed the suitcase into the trunk, they left the S Tower.
.....
"AKH.." Eliz immediately threw his body into the bed as soon as he entered the room. He was very tired and wanted to go to sleep. The man she was with just came to deliver her some documents and keys to the apartment she always left once she left Korea. After that he was immediately delivered to the apartment he always lived in while in Korea.
After 5 minutes of unwind, Eliz began to move and forced himself to clean his body before going to bed. When he finished, he immediately went into the blanket and put out the lights so he could sleep on his voice. And.. Zz.. Zz.. Zz.. Eliz fell asleep because he was tired.
.....
"Eungh..." An indistinct groan sounded out from Eliz's mouth. With her eyes still closed, the girl seemed to start waking up from her sleep. It was just that he felt uncomfortable something was pinning down him.
Eliz tried to shake off whatever felt wrapped around his body. But somehow something just kept coming back and overstretching his body. Feeling upset, the drowsiness goes away. Eliz lowered the blanket that covered almost his entire body to see what was so disturbing his sleep. But his expression turned shocked. He found someone sleeping so close while hugging him like a bolster pillow. And that man was one..
... HANDSOME GUY!!
