Chapter 29 - Entrapped

She turned head and pointed the device with her eyes. "Do you understand it now?"

"Yes, your explanation is very thorough, Ms. Wan." Thorough? Han Seoyeon asked herself. She only showed him how it was done.

"I just wonder if you could even ride your own bus without knowing how card pass works." She sighed.

"Ride a Bus?" Even though Han Seoyeon planned to speak in a whisper and thought she did well in it, the vampire had a questionable good hearing.

"Yes a bus, it also had this device, you know."

Jung Hwa sang a quiet hum over her lips. "I didn't know."

"Can't blame you." She waved her hand.

"No, I mean I didn't know that you ride bus." At his words, Han Seoyeon almost slapped her own mouth again. She said more unnecessary things! Why would Wan Seulgi need to ride a bus when she had her own car? She also remembered how her friend hated bus the most as it was always cramped with people. Speaking of it, she remembered how surprised Wan Seulgi was in Highschool when they first rode a bus together. It made her wondered if it is a tradition for the rich to not know of such a simple thing?

"It's convenient." Han Seoyeon lied through her teeth. "Learning something new isn't bad, don't you think? I can learn what other normal people do by mimicking them."

"That's true, mimicking is the best way to learn new things." Jung Hwa noted. After their small conversation, Han Seoyeon became more careful in any words that was about to slip out from her mouth. Part of her still mulled over why she was easily swayed by the vampire and decided to just enjoy the aquarium before formally rejecting him. If she give him a good reason, he would back off. Perhaps.

As they entered the Aquarium, they were first greeted by a dimmed tunnel with glasses making up as a window for Han Seoyeon to see the blue water sparkling over her head. Lifting her chin to see the sea staying atop her head, her smile widened. "Wow." She whispered. It had been her dream since her childhood days to be underwater, the calming blue color of the sea and their serene vivid color filled her black eyes.

"Do you like it?" Jung Hwa asked her who had been entrapped by the aquarium.

"No!" She replied with her smile still painting her rosy lips. "I love this!"

Jung Hwa blinked, covering his mouth again with his palm. He surely didn't expect her to give him such a bright smile. Like a rose, no perhaps she's even more brighter than any flowers the world had. Vampires are night creatures who can't feel love almost like a binding magic or perhaps a curse and it was especially worse for pureblood vampires. For him to feel this way toward her was something rare but he couldn't care less.

Han Seoyeon had completely forgot who was standing beside her and continued to thread her path to see more of the place. To her who had fallen completely in love with the Sea, whoever she came with, be it her boss or a vampire, their existence was now less than a pebble stone to her eyes.

Jung Hwa could read this from the rare expression that she gave and saw him leaving himself alone to see other places but didn't felt offended at all. Instead, he enjoyed his time wondering what kind of smile she would keep showing.

"Ms. Wan." He called his name from behind to be ignored by her. Seeing her eyes fixed in the blue water and the small fishes that made a small storm inside the aquarium tank. This was to be expected though, he thought and patiently called her name over and over until she finally noticed someone calling for her. Turning she saw the man who she had forgotten in the back of her mind and gathered her face again. "What can I help you with, Mr. Jung?"

"No, well you told me earlier that you want to see the dolphins so I just want to remind you that we only have less than five minutes to meet the dolphins show." Hearing his announcement, Han Seoyeon had her eyes widened. "You," she paused taking a small glance at her watch and added. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"

"I have been calling for you-" many times, yet before he completely ended his words, he felt his wrist being wrapped by the soft palms of her hands. "Where is it?! Let's go! When can't miss them!" She warned, having his entire hand completely under her palm unknowingly.

"On the South part after the corner of this hallway." He replied technically and had himself being pulled by her by the wrist for them to reach toward the dolphin show. Perhaps because of the dimmed lighting and the blue light or perhaps because his excellent choice of booking the entire aquarium for only the two of them, the place was inevitably quiet. But he didn't dislike it, it was the complete opposite. The feeling as though the whole world had only the two of them was something that made his smile to turn up unendingly.

The two walked together, running to race with the time they both arrived at the dolphin show at the last minute. Han Seoyeon didn't let go of her hand, still wasn't aware that she had been holding to his wrist and have the vampire running around with her excitement. Having Jung Hwa booked her the entire aquarium wasn't a bad thing, as a fan of the underwater, she was even more of the dolphins fan. Seeing that the entire stadium was hers, she could choose which seat she would take to watch the dolphin show.

When she spotted the best place, she took Jung Hwa again to the seat and pulled him away. Jung Hwa had noticed that she perhaps thought him of something akin to a bag that she had to bring. But at the moment, he was having his best enjoyment and wouldn't want it to end. He didn't raise his voice and gave his consent for Seoyeon to bring his whole person to everywhere as she likes.

Seeing the seats, Han Seoyeon sat down first to finally saw her hand was linked perfectly with Jung Hwa's long and slender fingers. Surprised, she retracted her hand to her laps, seeing him with an accusing look.

"I had tried telling from a long time before, but you didn't seem to be hearing me.." Jung Hwa took his explanation, looking at her with a smile.
