Chapter 1 

I wake up to the smell of bacon and the tell tale sounds of someone cooking in the kitchen. It couldn’t be my roommate though, she never cooks… I crack open an eye before closing it again, the light too harsh. I rub at my eyes a bit and squint my eyes open, trying to adjust to the light. Sitting up, I can finally take in my surroundings. This is definitely not my apartment. Directly across from the couch I’m sitting on is a window with a phenomenal view of the city. Right. So, it wasn’t a dream. I definitely did come to a rich guys house.

I rub a hand down my face and sigh. I look around again and notice my clothes from the previous night folded neatly on the coffee table. I look down and notice that I was only wearing my underwear and a small blanket. I gasp and pull the blanket up to my chest. Next to my clothes on the coffee table is a robe, and directly under is a pair of slippers. Hm. So this guy is thoughtful too. Can’t he be a dick, or something? He must have some sort of flaw, he really can’t be this perfect.

I sigh and pull the robe on and slip the slippers on my feet. They were soft and fit perfectly. I smile to myself. I turn around where the sounds were coming from and see Minseok’s back turned towards his stove. I shuffle over to the kitchen and clear my throat to grab his attention. He looks back briefly and smiles.

“Good morning sleeping beauty, you’ve finally woken up.” He turns the stove off and brings the pan behind him to put some eggs on the plates that were sitting on the island. The plates were both filled with bacon, orange, and strawberries already. My stomach growls. Minseok chuckles. “I didn’t know what you liked but I assume everyone likes bacon and eggs.” He says as he sets the pan aside and brings both plates towards the kitchen table.

“Sit down, I’ll get you something to drink. Water, coffee, orange juice...?” He asks, walking back towards the kitchen. I slowly sit down at one of the seats and clear my throat. “Coffee, please... And water.” I add, as I notice my voice is rough from sleep. He smiles and starts pouring me a cup of coffee from a fancy looking machine.

“Anything in your coffee? Cream, sugar?” He asks as he pulls out a glass to fill with water. I bite my lip. This seems so oddly domestic. I came here to have sex and instead I fall asleep and wake up to breakfast? “No, thank you. I’ll take it black.” He nods and brings the drinks over once the coffee is done and sits across from me. I take the coffee from him and take a small sip and raise my eyebrows from surprise. This is good coffee. “Thank you, it’s really good.” I smile and I sigh happily and take another sip, looking up to observe the man in front of me. Minseok. The man’s name is Minseok. 

He’s not wearing a suit anymore, I notice. Well of course he isn’t, it’s the morning. He’s wearing some sweats and a tight black shirt, but somehow, he still looks sophisticated and handsome. I clear my throat and stab a strawberry with my fork and take a bite. “I don’t like eggs.” I say matter of factly. He looks up with a confused quirk. “You said earlier that everyone likes bacon and eggs… I don’t like eggs.” He smiles and takes his fork and scoops up my egg and puts it on his own plate. “Duly noted, I’ll keep that in mind for next time.” Next time?

“You assume we’re going to see each other again?” I ask as I continue to eat the fruit on my plate. “I know we will.” He says, confidently. I scoff and nod. Okay, well then. I don’t think I’d mind that.

“So, (y/n), besides being beautiful, what do you do?” He asks, leaning back with his cup of coffee in hand. I blush and look up at him. I set down my fork to take a sip of my own coffee

“Um, I just started grad school, actually, for history. I want to be a history professor.” He raises his eyebrows, as if impressed. I shake my head. “But, I don’t know I think I’m going to quit for now…” He shakes his head and leans forward.

“Why? Don’t quit. You’ve just started.” He said with a thoughtful look. I sigh and bring my hands down to my knees and look down at them. I bite my lip. “I can’t afford it anymore. I don’t have time either, trying to work to pay for school and rent and trying to get all my work done is hard.” I look up and brush the hair out of my face, slightly frustrated. “I’m just going to take a gap year or two and work until I can afford it again.” Minseok stares hard at me and crosses his arms over his chest, his muscles rippling from the movement. I bite my lip and sigh.

“I’ll pay for it.” I snap my head up in surprise and choke on my own spit. What the heck? We just met. I grab for the glass of water and take a gulp. I shake my head and laugh in disbelief. “We just met, why would you pay for my classes?” He shrugs. “I like you. And not just your classes, your rent too.” I laugh.

“Oh my god, you’re crazy!” He just shrugs again. I sigh in disbelief once again and run my fingers through my hair. Why would he do that? What would I have to do in return?!

“I’m not crazy. I like you, and I know how to judge people. You’re a good girl,” I snort. “And you’re smart, I can tell. You have a lot of potential.” I roll my eyes. “I’m not asking for anything in return either.” I look up at him surprised. “Well, you’ll have to date me, of course.” I raise my eyebrows and look down at the table. I ring my hands together. Should I do it? I shake my head.

“Who are you? What do you do? How do you have this much money for someone so young?” He nods.

“I understand that it can be a little unbelievable. I’m a… businessman. I took over my father’s business after he died 5 years ago. And I’m a good businessman.” He gets up and takes both of our plates back to the kitchen to wash them. “I’ll let you think about it. For now, I’d like you to wash up and get dressed. I want to take you on a date. A proper one.” I stand up and look over towards the living room where my clothes are. “I don’t have any proper clothes.” Minseok smiles and walks over to the entry way where a bag was sitting on a table. “I know, I had someone get some for you this morning.” He brings the bag over to me and I take it hesitantly.

In the end, I agree. He takes me to a bathroom where I could shower. I look around the bathroom. This bathroom is bigger than my own room. I sigh and pull out the clothes he brought me. There was everything I needed in there. A blouse, skirt, heels, a necklace, even a purse and some makeup. And at the bottom of the bag was another smaller bag filled with wrapping paper. I pull it out and take the wrapping paper out and gasp. Underwear. No, it shouldn’t even be called something so plain. It was lingerie. I pinch the straps and pull it out to get a better look at it. Oh. My. God. This man was a pervert.

“What the hell?? What is this?!” I yell out, trying to make sure Minseok could hear me. I hear some shuffling and a small knock on the door. “Something wrong?” I scoff. Is something wrong?” I swing the door open and pull out the lingerie set and bring it up for him to see. “What is this?? Are you some kind of pervert?” He stares at it for a few beats and he laughs. I look at him incredulously. Are you kidding me, he’s laughing at me?

“I’m sorry, Sehun is a bit of a pervert.” I blink at him. “Sehun is my, ah… assistant. I guess he got a little excited when I asked him to get me some clothes and new underwear. And that..” he points at the lingerie in my hand, leaning on the door frame,”is not what I meant. I can get you something else… or,” he smirks “You can just wear nothing underneath.” I scoff and roll my eyes. As if. 

“In your dreams. I’ll wear them. Don’t get too excited.” I push him out of the way and shut the door, locking it for good measure. I can hear him laugh through the door. “You weren’t this shy last night!” He explains. I blush. “Last night I had alcohol!” He laughs again, and I roll my eyes, turning the water on for my shower. This is going to be an interesting day. Who knew? I shrug and step into the shower.

Thanks again for reading (: I will be working on chapter 3 later today. I have no clue where this will be going but we will see together! I of course know how it ends up, since it’s based off of this post, but it’s getting there that will be a journey!
