Chapter 74: Playing ’Hard To Get’

While watching the television, Arya moved closer to Ryu making sure that they will have the skin to skin contact often.

’Let’s see how long it will take to break that ice.’ Arya thought while she continued her flirtatious moves.

After Arya got up from the couch to cook lunch, Ryu let out a long deep sigh of relief.

He knew what Arya was doing and he was almost going insane though he tried so much to act impassive at all. Because he actually enjoyed the playing ’hard to get’ thing he was doing at the same time.

He smiled when he heard Arya was humming a song while cooking. He just loved everything about her.

He mute the television, leaned his head and back at the couch and closed his eyes to relax and listen at her voice. She had a soft and lovely voice.

After Arya prepared everything on the table she quickly went to Ryu.

"You fell asleep?" she muttered as she stared on Ryu’s handsome face with his eyes closed. She leaned forward and kissed him.

When she was about to pull back, Ryu opened his eyes and said, "That’s not how you kiss."

He cupped one hand under her face and the other behind her head and pulled her to him. Her lips opened, quivering as his planted firmly upon them.

She could feel his passion through the kiss while his tongue lapped gently wetting both their lips. An unconscious moan escaped as she fell into him deeply and she was a little embarrassed, but he didn’t seem to notice. He was lost in his passion.

Arya wanted this kiss to last forever. She subconsciously sat on Ryus lap as her arms encircled his neck.

On the other hand, Ryu’s was becoming aggressive and started to caress Arya’s body.

However, the intense smooching was interrupted by the ringing of the intercom.

Ryu cursed then he looked at Arya with his hazy eyes and murmured, "Go fixed yourself, I will kill this intruder."

Then he gently released Arya and walked slothfully towards the door.

Seeing Dean’s irritating face from the screen, Ryu cursed harder.

"Damn Dean, what do you want at this hour?" Ryu hissed after opening the door. Dean ignored his annoyed voice and quickly went inside.

"Have you watched the news? That copycat company is now pirating even my airlines!" Dean protested.

Then he stopped when he noticed Arya who stood up from the couch.

"What is this big bro? I thought you are brokenhearted? What happen? Who is she? Wait, did I disturb you from something important that’s why you’re irritated now?" He asked in a row.

He heard Ryu sighed instead of answering him so he continued, "Oh where are my manners. Since my cousin is not introducing me. I will introduce myself then. I am Dean, Ryu’s cousin."

He smiled and walked towards Arya and extended his hand.

Arya smiled at him, accepted the hand shake and said, "Hi, my name is Arya."

Dean’s forehead crumpled upon hearing her name. Then his eyes widened as he gasped, "Arya? As in Arya Tan?"

Although confused, Arya nodded to Dean.

Then he looked back to Ryu and said, "She was the one who broke your heart to pieces?"

Then he added as he shifted his head back to Arya, "You’re the one responsible that’s why my cousin became crazy. Did you know how devastated he was that he even preferred to talk to a dog than us and the people around him?"

Arya bit her lip and did not know how to react with Dean’s accusing words.

Ryu’s face darkened and pulled Dean towards the door.

"Stop your nonsense and go back to your floor!" Ryu exclaimed.

"Wait, I smell something?" Dean said as he snooped like a dog.

"Dean!" Ryu shouted.

"What? Wait, let me eat first. I am so hungry and besides I need to talk to you also. Promise, I will behave and will no longer say anything to your precious love." Dean said with his pleading eyes.

Then he looked at Arya and said, "I’m sorry sister-in-law. I got carried away. Please disregard what I’ve said earlier."

Arya looked more confuse and asked, "Sister in law?"

Dean looked at Ryu and whispered, "You did not tell her?"

Ryu’s gaze at Dean was sharp as his eyes narrowed. Dean quickly pursed his lips and gestured a zip mouth sign to Ryu.

Then he looked at Arya and said, "Oh I am sorry. I got carried away once more since you are the first woman big bro brought in here so I called you Sis-In-Law already."

Arya gave him a big smile and said, "Ah okay. Come and join us for lunch. I cooked enough so it would be great to add another plate."

She felt comfortable with Dean since he seemed to be a bubbly person.

Dean looked at Ryu grinning and quickly sat on a chair at the dining area.

"Wow, it looks delicious." Dean commented before he put foods on his plate and started to eat.

"Wow! Big Sis, this is really good. I’m staying at the next floor. Can I come over for a meal from time to ti..?

"NO!" Ryu answered as he cut-off Dean’s sentence.

"Why not? We are neighbors and I live alone you know. No one is cooking for me. It’s good to eat together." Dean complained.

"You had a helper, ask him to cook for you. Or go on a date and don’t pester us here." Ryu replied with an irritated tone.

"Girlfriend? Go date? How can I date when you are giving me a lot of work! I can’t even go clubbing ever since you became the CEO. My social life was ruined!" Dean said complaining.

Arya laughed seeing the two quarreled like kids. She knew Ryu was an only child so it’s a good thing to see that he had good relationship with a cousin like Dean. They were like real brothers.
