Chapter 30

JISOO

In a parallel universe your are Ellen Dejeneres and you are married with Portia De Rossi. In this universe though you are Jisoo Kim, your girlfriend is Jennie Kim and you are in a birthday party where the birthday’s boy mom is sister with your secretary. You think I am kidding? I am not.

When the door opened and I saw Bona with the big cake I was left with my mouth open. Not Bona, not anyone knew about my personal life and I wasn’t planning to keep it a secret but I wanted to keep my private life and my job separate. Bona looked so different outside the office.

I think she was in her late twenties but younger than me. At the office she was always wearing skirts, with heels and her hair was always up. Of course I didn’t expect her to wear jeans in a law firm.. But still she looked so different.

“I am sorry I am sorry. It had so much traffic and you won’t even imagine what happened. Where is the birthday boy..” and then she looked at me.

“Bona?”

“Ms. Kim?”

“Jisoo?” Jennie was right next to me and after that I think I would have some explaining to do.

I turned to look at Jennie that seemed curious about the whole incident. I would be to.

“Ms. Kim what are you doing here?”

“You know each other?” Bomi asked her sister kind of curious herself too.

“She is my boss. I quit my job after she gave her resignation later.”

“Oh.. OOOHH..”

“What’s wrong Bomi?” Jennie asked. Still I haven’t heard her say anything about all this but I am sure she was dying inside.

“Ahh.. Nothing.. Eh.. The cake is going to melt.. Bona, come with me please.”

“Okay.. I’ll be back.”

The two sisters went inside the kitchen and left me and Jennie in the living room. I was waiting for her to ask me. I could see it in her eyes.

“Ask me.”

“Ask you what?”

“Oh come on Jen.. I know you want to ask me. So.. I am waiting.”

“I am sorry but I don’t know what you mean Jisoo.. I am going outside. You can go and chit chat with your secretary.”

Without saying anything else she left there.. I think I knew what she was thinking and it was so not true. I didn’t even know that Bona was gay. She never told me anything about her personal life. And we weren’t friendly like ever.. She was doing her job and she was good with what she was doing. Of course she didn’t know that I was gay either. Well, I didn’t know that for myself too, but still. I wouldn’t let Jennie go away so easily. I knew how she was and I wasn’t ready for drama in our relationship. We already had enough for a life time.

She was talking with a lady when I got outside. As Bomi introduced her to us, she was a walking trouble. She was flirting with anyone. No genders, no nothing. And Jennie just to piss me off she was talking with her. When I saw that woman’s hand on Jennie’s thigh I lost it. I walked faster than I thought I could.

“Can we talk please?”

“Yes, no problem.” She didn’t move. She was still sitting right next to that woman.

“I mean alone baby.” I emphasized the word baby so that walking whore could understand that Jennie was taken.

“Okay. I am sorry Yerin.. Talk to you later.”

“No you won’t.” I said and I took her hand on mine. For God sake. We were in a birthday party.

I took her outside the house and we got inside our car. I wanted no Bona, no walking whore not anyone to hear us talking. And that was between me and her.

“Okay, what the fuck is going on Jisoo? Really?”

“Are you kidding me? You were flirting with that thing over there and you let her touch you? What were you trying to do Jennie? Make me jealous or something?”

“Your words not mine.”

“Okay, you are acting like a little kid and I know why. Bona is my secretary. I didn’t have a clue she was gay and that she had a sister. It’s sad but actually I never tried to learn anything about the girl. Our relationship was nothing but professional. Okay?”

“Okay.”

“You don’t sound convinced.”

“I am.” She said and looked outside the window. She was being jealous and it was her first time. I had my moment at the bakery with the filipina girl. I touched her hand and made her turn her head so she could look at me.

“Jen.. I love you ok? I never felt anything for any girl besides you and that girl back in high school. Okay? I love you and Ella.. We are a family, so please don’t be stupid.”

“I know.. I am sorry too.. I love you.. I just, when I saw her there and she was saying those things. Well my mind stopped. I was thinking things that I shouldn’t.”

“Don’t you think I know you by now? I know you very well.”

“You think?”

“I am sure. Now give me a kiss and I am planning to punish you for letting that woman touch you.”

“I did it to make you jealous.”

“And I was. Now where is my kiss?”

She leaned closer to me and we started to kiss. We both wanted that kiss the whole day. Her hand touching my inner thigh so close to my center. She knew how to touch and she knew how to make me wet. I was kissing her neck when I saw the mark I left her yesterday. I kissed and licked the same place over and over again and the moans she was letting out where doing things to me. If we were anywhere else I would so have her naked again. We were so lost into each other when I heard a knock on our window. Jennie removed her lips from mine and we both looked at the intruder.. Bona..

“I.. I.. am sorry but we.. we are cutting the cake.. I.. am going to go inside.”

Jennie looked at me and gave me another kiss.

“She so has a crush on you.”

“No, she is not.”

“She is gay, you are gay.. And.. She quit her job for you. I think I might have my eyes on her and make her understand that you are taken.”

“Like I did with the Ms Yerin over there?”

“It was just to make you jealous Jisoo. Instead of walking trouble they should call her a walking sexual disease.”

“Let’s go inside. I think Bona realized that I am gay. Last time she saw me with Suho so she maybe confused.”

“I am willing to make her understand that now you are gay and mine. Can I kiss you again when we are going to be inside?”

“No, but you can hold my hand.”

“Okay.. I can do that.”

When we got inside all kids were around Eddy singing the birthday song. Our daughter next to her friend smiling. They were so cute. That age is the most pure. After that you see your child growing up and you wish they were young again.

Jennie was holding my hand as I told her to but every now and then she was letting her head on my shoulder. I could see Bona looking at me some times and when our eyes would meet she wοuld look somewhere else immediately. I really don’t want any drama. If Jennie was right.. Well I hope she wasn’t.

“Happy birthday Eddy.” All the kids said and our little girl was the last giving him a kiss on his cheek. Little Eddy blushed.

“I am going right there.”

“No, you won’t.. Stay right here.”

“She kissed him.”

“Oh, my God.. I promise if you go there forget me kissing you for a week. And forget anything else.”

“But.. But..”

“It’s your choice Jennie.. Either you let the kids have fun since they are young or no kissing.”

“I guess I can hang out here for a little while.”

“Good choice.. I am glad you made the right one.”

“I didn’t have any choice.. You threatened me.”

“It’s the only way for you to listen.”

“Yeah yeah yeah.. Whatever.. One day you are going to thank me for that.”

BONA

Working as a secretary for a very well known firm for years it’s a good resume. Working next to a very good lawyer it’s even better. Jisoo Kim was an amazing woman. Passionate with her work and for the last four years. I’ve been blessed to have her as a boss. Right after I finished Gale I started working here.. I wasn’t a law student but I was searching for a job and I saw that they were looking for secretaries in a law firm. I had a Bachelor in psychology and an MBA in human resource management. I was speaking three languages and I was good with computers. It started like something I would do only for a while but I stayed there for years. The environment was good, Ms. Kim was amazing and jobs were hard to find. No need to change anything..

Jisoo Kim was hard to read. Although my degree in psychology she was so closed to herself. I never heard her once talking about her family or having a personal life. She was devoted to her job. At least for the first two years. Then she met someone that was working on the same building and they started going out. Not that she told me by herself but because he used to come by her office, telling me that he was her boyfriend and that he had the right to see her. I really didn’t like him.

I was working for her but she didn’t know about me either. Being gay in a world that is close minded, well it’s not good. Especially when you work in a law firm. I remember Philadelphia with Tom Hanks.. So I kept for myself the admiration I had for her. I was starting to like her but I couldn’t do anything about it..

Being with her almost 16 hours a day I saw her change. A month ago she started to change for the better.. She was openly to me, more polite, she broke up with her asshole boyfriend. She was another person.. And this Jisoo Kim was amazing.

The day she gave her resignation letter I didn’t expect that. Firstly because I don’t know anyone who is a lawyer and he or she would quit their job. They just don’t. But she did and I wanted to leave with her. I didn’t want to stay there. She was the only person I liked and not only as a boss.. I really really liked her. So I had a chance to try to make her know me. And maybe I could know her some things about her too. So I quit my job.

I left my house for a while and went to live with my sister and my nephew. I didn’t expect though that in my nephew’s birthday party I would see Jisoo Kim.

My first thought was that she was here for the birthday party. I didn’t know she had a child though. So I was confused.. Next to her where a brunette girl, kind of attractive and seemed confused also when I heard her calling Jisoo’s name.

I couldn’t help but ask what she wanted here. Never got an answer back because in the living room there were four confused people. My sister asked first if we knew each other. Bomi already knew that I liked my boss. I was telling her everything so she knew that I quit my job for Jisoo and that I liked her. So when she put one and one together she figured out. She took me inside the kitchen and started to ask questions.

“Jisoo right there is Jisoo your boss Jisoo?”

“Yes.”

“Jisoo.. you like Jisoo?”

“Yes, Bomi. I think we already established that since we knew each other.”

“I can’t believe this is happening.”

“Why? What is wrong?”

“You quit your job for someone you don’t even know if she likes you back Bona. That’s what’s wrong..”

“I am not going to try and kiss her Bomi. I am not crazy.. I want to be friends with her first and hope dies last.”

“My sister is crazy. You never told me the whole truth Bona. You told me you liked your boss. Do you know anything about her? Like if she is gay or not? Like if she has anyone in her life?”

“Well.. She had a boyfriend but I think she might be gay. I saw her how she was when he was touching her. She seemed like she didn’t even want to be with him.”

“I really don’t know what to say. You should have known before you do anything. Anyway this isn’t the right moment and we have to cut the cake.. I am going to find Jisoo and Jennie.”

“No, let me. I will go.”

“I don’t think you..”

“I am already walking.. Get the cake outside.”

They weren’t in the living room where we left them. I got outside and they weren’t there either.

“Are you searching for someone doll?”

“Yes, two girls. A raven and a brunette.”

“I think they got outside.”

“Thank you Ms.”

“My pleasure.. For you it’s Yerin..” That woman was crazy and very touchy..

Indeed I got outside and found them in their car. What I saw though got me off guard. Jisoo and that girl, Jennie was her name I think, were kissing. Like really heavy kissing.. They didn’t realize that I was there but I had to stop them.. I knocked on their window.. They both looked at me but none of them said anything.

“I.. I.. am sorry but we.. we are cutting the cake.. I.. am going to go inside.”

And I did go inside. First Jisoo was indeed gay, secondly she was with someone or maybe not.. And third what the fuck they were doing here? I was more confused than ever.

Ten minutes later and they were inside together, holding hands.. So they were together and I guess they had a child here. I couldn’t help but look at them every now and then and that was killing me. I was waiting for Jisoo for years now. I had to see her with an asshole boyfriend and then to see her with a girl?

One question has been answered.. Jisoo was gay. And we would start to work together again.. So I would have more time with her and not this Jennie girl.. I was planning to take Jisoo from Jennie.
