Searching

I feel embarrassed by overreacting about his leaving. I found out that he will only take 3 days there for some air. But then... it's a good thing because he's already my man!

On the phone...

"Hi, Jesoo!! Good morning"

"Hmm, what's with the mood? You seem so happy..", she said then suddenly yawn

"Well, I have so much to tell you... but first I would like to invite you to join us on a trip?", I said excitingly

"To where?"

"Philippines!"

"Ohh that would be interesting but I'm sorry Jaehwa...my family will have a gathering this week... We haven't decided on the exact date yet so I can't decide about coming with you. Maybe next time... I will", she said

I felt bad coz I can't come with JZ without someone with me. My dad might not allow me so I just asked Jesoo to pretend that she came with us and she agreed.

"Good morning JZ!!", I said with a big smile

He was shocked and maybe not used to that behavior so he was just staring at me...

"Good morning", he said then smiled and stared at me again with a playful look

"Why?", I asked

"Do you miss me that much again?", he asked teasingly

I know that I can't just walk out whenever he teased me so I decided to hit him back with words

"yeah...I miss you again... I miss you every second and every minute so don't stay away from me~....", I responded

He doesn't have any reaction for a minute then suddenly went blushing then trying to look away

"Ohh... you blushed ", I said and I began teasing him back

I went closer to him and hold his face. I look at his eyes and it went awkward. His face was too close to mine and I was still holding it. He then stared into my eyes. Then I just give him a smacking kiss and let go. He blushed again

"ha ha ha ha"

I was laughing so hard at his reaction and he went silent till I stop...

He's too quiet so I changed the mood

"Uhm what are your plans for today?", I asked

"mmm, I have things to prepare first for the trip...I need to make reports first before leaving", said JZ

"Why do you suddenly decided to go to the Philippines?"

"I...I got a lead for finding my family. I chatted with the relative that I found online", said JZ

"I'm going to meet them there", he added

"wow.. that's great news!", I said with a big smile

"You're really like a lucky charm to me", he said

"Of course! You're also lucky coz I'm a pretty lady and a knowledgeable one", I proudly said

"yeah yeah whatever", he said like he isn't agreeing at all so I hit him in the head again

"ouch!!", he said while touching his head

"I didn't even hit you that hard yet you're already hurt..."

"You probably doesn't know that you were strong", he said

I just smiled and pat his head then hug him like a kid

It was early in the morning when we took the flight. I was a bit nervous and excited for it was my first time stepping into the Philippines. I searched a lot about the tourist spots and everything is so amazing!

"Are you alright?", JZ asked

"yes...", I said with a smile

The flight only took 4 hours from Korea. And finally, we've arrived!

It felt so different...

"Don't feel scared~ Filipinos are nice", he said

He smiled and hold my hand. Everyone was looking at me from outside as we go near JZ's place. I'm not used to it but he said it's a normal reaction from Filipinos. We entered the house~ it's a 2 storey. I was expecting other people or a relative inside the house to welcome us...

"Don't be bothered... there's no one in the house"

I was freeze for a moment for the thought that it's just JZ and I for 3 days in the house!

"What are you doing? Come inside now", he said

I step inside and stop

He went straight to the sofa and sit then looked at me. He stand up again then suddenly came to me~ his face came closer to mine. I can't think well and I felt so nervous and I close my eyes

"Hey... what were you thinking?... I'm not that type of a guy so don't feel bothered... I'm not gonna do anything", he said giggling

I slowly open my eyes for the embarrassment. Then I just look at him badly. But he just smiled and pinch my nose. He took my things in the room

"I have 2 rooms here... you'll be using the other one", he said with a wink

I felt relieved for he knows what he is doing. I felt secure with him. I haven't thought of other things because I was expecting relatives in the house but it's unexpected. He showed me things I need to know in the house and even told me a secret basement

"You have a secret basement?...where is it?", I asked

"Underground basement", said JZ

"Woah! really?... isn't that too expensive~...", I suddenly asked and realized that he is a mysterious guy

My conclusion was too slow to think that he's not broke...I mean he belongs to wealthy people

"uhmm yeah...but I like it to have an underground basement~treasures are there. I felt more secure in it than banks", he said giggling

"Hah! seriously?"

Then...I already took a shower after some rest.

When I went out of the room he was already preparing the table

"waaahh... you can cook?", I asked with amazement

"Of course, all around boyfriend", he proudly said

Then I went blushing at the thought that he told me he's my boyfriend

"You love to praise yourself", I said with a smirk

He offered the chair so I sit and try the food

"mmmm it's delicious.."

"I told you", he said proudly

"So, what do you plan for tomorrow?", I asked

"Uhm I'm going to meet my relative~ till I trace the location of my parents", he said

So then, we talked about getting near to his identity.

He took me with him in the morning. We found out that his mom is a Filipino-Korean. That's how I got the answer when I said he doesn't look like a Filipino. He got the height.. he's tall and his eyes belong to a Korean look

He was also shocked upon knowing the truth about him. He was just quiet when we were in the car

"Are you alright?", I asked

"Yes"
