Surprise

Chapter 7 Surprise

Even though the exposure of Jaejoong’s true identity came as a shock to Rina, she decided that it was best that she didn’t question him about it until he decided to tell her personally. Jaejoong called her often while he was in Japan. During break time between photo-shoots, between program filming, if it wasn’t too late when he finished his activities for the day, he always called her. He just referred to those times as his “free time” to spend with her. After discovering the fact that he is no other than Kim Jaejoong from DBSK, Rina always felt really touched when Jaejoong took the time to call her. Knowing that he was extremely busy and probably stressed due to the lawsuit and just from work in general, Rina always tried her best to lighten up the mood and told Jaejoong interesting stories and jokes whenever they conversed. And today, it was no different. They were sharing childhood stories with each other.

After the stories came to an end, Jaejoong, with a mischievous tone in his voice, proposed a request, “Rina, can you do me a favor later tonight?”

“Yeah, I’m free tonight, what’s up?”

“Can you go up to the top floor of our apartment complex and go on the rooftop where the garden is? The gardener said he would give my grandma some flowers she wanted or something like that, and I won’t be able to pick it up and he’s only available this week. Can you pick up the flowers for me?”

“Yeah, sure. No problem. What time should I meet him?”

“Seven? Is that okay?”

“Seven tonight?”

“Yeah!”

“Sure no problem,”
“Thank you Rina!” Jaejoong laughed whole-heartily on the other side of the telephone line.

“No problem Jae,” Rina smiled on the other end of the receiver, and the two ended the phone call.

“Hyung, seriously? Meeting a gardener?!?” Changmin exclaimed. “That’s the worst cover-up I have ever heard…”

“Well, good thing is she believed it. That’s all it matters,” Yunho commented.

“That’s right!” Jaejoong nodded in agreement with Yunho, smiling cheekily to himself.

“WAAAAAAAAAAAH! Jaejoong hyung, since when did you become so romantic! I’ve never seen you like this all these years we’ve known each other,” Junsu flapped his arms around excitedly.

“Aish,” Jaejoong blushed and pushed Junsu.

The five were actually already sitting on an airplane and was on their way back to Korea already. Jaejoong’s heart skipped a beat when he thought about what he planned later on tonight for Rina. He missed her much more than he expected and thought about her so much more than he actually wanted when he was in Japan the past three weeks. But he didn’t mind it. Whenever he recalls her sweet smile and her resonating voice, a smile would slowly form on his face, just as it did now. Could this be love? He didn’t know yet, but all he knew was he missed her so much and he couldn’t wait until he could see her again tonight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I glanced at the time displayed on the microwave in the kitchen when I went to grab a bottle of water—6:55PM. I should probably head up to the rooftop garden to get the plants for Jaejoong’s grandma. I changed from my sweatpants to a pair of dark se7en jeans, kept on my red v-neck tee and threw my hair into a messy bun.

I took the elevator all the way up to the top floor, walked out and looked around for a sign that would point to the garden. I finally located one and followed it. I was lead to a small curved staircase that led to the rooftop. I climbed it carefully and eventually reached the wooden door; I turned the doorknob and stepped onto the rooftop. The scene in front of me took my breath away. There were rows and rows of various types of flowers: daisies, roses, chrysanthemums, carnations, etc. All the colors imaginable were all blended in, their fragrances caressed my nose gently. Not too far from where I was standing, there was a candle lit table with two chairs. I looked around confusedly, trying to find the gardener that Jaejoong was talking about, but a familiar voice called out from my left.

“Hey Rina, did you miss me?” the familiar voice had a slight hint of mischief to it.

I turned around and saw Jaejoong standing right in front of me. He looked so handsome with a simple navy blue v-neck tee that accented his physique, and dark denim jeans. The surprise took me by shock and I was so happy to see him again that I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. He was chuckling and happily hugged me back, his fingers running through my hair. When I felt his fingers touching my hair, and his body being so close to mine, I had a strange bubbly feeling inside me and felt my face grew red. I quickly pulled away and looked at him accusingly.

“What are you doing here?!? Weren’t you supposed to be in Japan? And where’s the gardener?” I looked at him suspiciously.

Jaejoong made a sad face after hearing my questions, “Aww…you are not happy to see me?”

“I—“

“But I’m so happy to see you Rina! I missed you so much,” He put his hands on my shoulders.

I shyly looked up and saw that he was gazing gently and intently down upon me. I smiled and lowered my head, blushing. Jaejoong chuckled and grabbed my hand. “Common, I made dinner for both of us, if you didn’t miss me, at least I know for a fact you missed my cooking!”

He then dragged me to the candle-lit table, pulled the chair out for me and sat down after I sat down. In front of us were 4 different Korean dishes, and I know from our dinner gatherings before that they were what Jaejoong considered his “best” dishes.

“You did all this for me? When did you get back?” I was truly touched. I really was. No one has ever done something so nice for me before.

“I got back early afternoon, I had to hold my urge to see you sooner because I was planning this out,” Jaejoong said apologetically.

“Jaejoong! Why are you apologizing! I am so touched…No one has ever done something so nice for me before…or made me feel so…special…” my voice became softer at the last few words, I could feel myself turning into a red tomato.

Jaejoong laughed happily. “I’m glad you like it! I really wanted to do something nice for you,”

Do these exchanges count as our confessions of affection toward each other?

“Aish, I’m not good with words, but let’s eat up before the food gets cold!” Jaejoong scratched his head cutely and put a piece of scooped up a huge spoonful of bugogi onto my plate.

“I missed cooking for you you know that?” Jaejoong chuckled.

“Well! I certainly missed eating your food!” I laughed.

There was a moment of silence when both of us were just smiling to ourselves. So like this, we spent a wonderful evening together.
