Her Only Escape: Chapter Three Gillian felt a shiver going down her spine. It was as if someone was watching her. She looked around the room but saw no one. "Are you okay?" Yunho asked. She turned her head back to face him and shook her head, "It's nothing. I just felt something strange." The two walked towards the middle of the dance floor and began to dance. One by one, couples would stop dancing just to watch the enticing dance between Yunho and Gillian - everyone was enchanted by the two. Gillian looked around and noticed that Yunho and her were the only couple on the dance floor left. Everyone else had stopped dancing. Yunho grinned at the attention he was getting. He was proud. He had a beautiful girl in his arms, he was a lucky man. "Who is that young lady?" A man asked the server next to him while pointing at Gillian who was still dancing with Yunho. The server looked at the direction the man was pointed at then whispered, "That's Mister Jung's date sir." "So you have no idea what her name is?" The man continued to watch the couple as they danced beautifully. His eyes never left Gillian. The server shook his head, "No sir." The man took out a few hundred bills from his wallet then handed it to the boy, "Find out her name." The boy nodded and walked off in search to find the beautiful girl's name. ▀▀▀ "Why hello there Gillian, may I cut in?" Yoochun asked as he politely interrupted the couple. "Yes you may." Gillian answered and took Yoochun's extended arm. "Go mingle and have fun Yunho." Yunho grinned, "Stay safe Gill." "So where are you from Gillian?" Yoochun asked as they began dancing to a slow song. Gillian shook her head, "I'm not a big fan of talking about myself. Why don't you tell me something about yourself?" Yoochun smirked, he could tell that she was going to be a tough one. "Well, I own Park Enterprise and right now, I'm just trying to enjoy life to the fullest." "Aren't we all?" Gillian replied. Just by his introduction, Gillian could already tell how laid back Yoochun was. "I wish I could live a carefree life" "Doesn't everyone? But if we all lived carefree lives, it would be too boring and dull in my opinion." Yoochun said. Gillian nodded, "That's true. You make a good point." As soon as the song came to an end, Yoochun dipped Gillian and looked deeply into her eyes. She could feel people gazing upon the two of them. "May I have the next dance miss?" A man walked up to Gillian and extended his hand. "How about you accompany me to go get a drink?" Gillian asked. She was getting tired from all the dancing. "Okay" He replied. ▀▀▀ She gasped for breath but continued to push herself to run. Gasp - She had reached a dead end. She turned to find an exit around her but there was none. There was no use in escaping now. She could hear his footsteps coming closer towards her. He took one look at her a smirked. She looked so defenseless and meek; an easy target, he thought. ▀▀▀ "So where are you from miss?" He asked while handing Gillian her drink. Gillian shook her head and smiled, “Sorry. I’m not big on answering questions about myself.” He grinned; he could tell this one was different. “That’s fine. I’m sure I’ll be getting to know you more in the future.” “Is that right?” Gillian questioned. She observed the man in front of her; he’s very young but she could tell that he’s wise for his age. “Sorry to interrupt, but President Shim, there’s an emergency.” A man bowed his head politely. He stood up from his seat, “Well, it was a pleasure to meet you Gillian Chung.” “How do you know my name?” Gillian asked, she could’ve sworn that there was no way she mentioned her name to him. He smirked, “You’ll find out some other day. Goodbye” He leaned in and gave her a soft peck on her cheeks. She could feel her cheeks going red. He definitely left quite an impression on her. ▀▀▀ “Gillian, wake up.” Yunho softly shook the girl who was suffering from a hangover. “You drank too much didn’t you?” Gillian groaned in pain. Her head was pounding like crazy. “Ugh…my head.” Yunho grinned, “That’s what you get silly girl!” He flicked her forehead. “Drink some of this, it’ll make you feel better.” He handed her a cup. She rubbed her forehead, “That hurt you know!” Yunho let out a laugh, “Okay. I’m off to the company, stay out of trouble okay?” Gillian nodded, “I’ll behave mother.” She said sarcastically causing Yunho pretend to be stern with her. He crossed his arms and looked at her, “Now you behave young lady.” He joked. Gillian began to laugh, “Okay, okay! Now leave!” Yunho grinned, “Okay I’m off.” ▀▀▀ “Miss Gillian, where would you like me to take you?” The driver asked as soon as Gillian stepped outside the house. Gillian smiled, “Hi Edison! It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Edison nodded, “Indeed it has Miss Gillian. So I’m guessing you want to go to the usual places today?” “No, today can you take me to xxx?” Gillian asked. Edison hesitated; he wasn’t sure if he was allowed to take her there. He had to think of an alternative location, “How about visiting Mr. & Mrs. Jung’s house?” “That’s a great idea! I forgot to pay them a visit when I got here.” Gillian replied. Edison let out a sigh of relief, that was a close one. ▀▀▀ “Gillian!” Mrs. Jung opened her arms to greet Gillian. Gillian gave Yunho’s mom a warm hug, “How are you momma Jung?” “I’m aging…but I’m well. How are you sweetheart? When did you come back?” Mrs. Jung asked Gillian. “I came back yesterday.” Gillian answered. Mrs. Jung smiled, “So when are you and Yunho getting married?” Gillian shook her head, “It’s not like that!” Mrs. Jung frowned, “That boy still hasn’t made a move on you?” Gillian laughed, “No. He doesn’t like me like that. He treats me like his little sister.” Mrs. Jung raised an eyebrow, “I don’t think he does sweetheart.” “Where’s papa Jung?” Gillian asked trying to change the topic. “Oh you know him; he’s off at the company as usual. I don’t understand why he won’t just leave everything to Yunho.” Mrs. Jung answered. Gillian grinned, “I guess he just can’t let go of his precious company.” Mrs. Jung nodded in agreement. “He treasures that company more than me!” The girls laughed. Gillian treated the Jung family as her own. If it wasn’t for the Jung family, she would probably be a starving beggar on the streets. If they had never took in as their own, she would probably be dead somewhere. ▀▀▀ “Sir, we have news!” A man rushed in. He signaled the guy to come in, “What is it?” The man handed her a photograph, “She’s back.” He looked at the photo, it was a picture of Gillian dancing with Yunho. “Gillian…” “Would you like me to notify the boys to get her sir?” The guy asked. He shook his head, “No. I’ll go to her myself.” “But…” He held up his hands and waved them off, “Leave.” “Yes sir.” Previous Chapter / Next Chapter Labels: Her Only Escape |
