Crashing Into You - Chapter 254

“Tan Ja Nin, is that Lee Jin Ho?” Ho Min Lin asked again because she was sure that it was Lee Jin Ho’s voice.

Tan Ja Nin has no other choice but to admit that it was Lee Jin Ho.

“Yes, I-I have a dinner with him to express my gratitude for the opportunity that he gave to me the ambassadress of their new product.” She said as she closed her eyes. How many times should she needs to lie to her friends because she cannot tell them yet about the real score between her and Lee Jin Ho.

Ho Min Lin nodded. “Yeah! Tan Ji Nan mentioned it to me. Give my regards to him!”

“Sure!” Tan Ja Nin covered the mouthpiece on her cellphone and took a deep sigh. “You said that you have something to tell me, what is it?” She said after awhile.

“You’re having a dinner with Lee Jin Ho now. It is impolite if your talking to me in the phone right! I’ll just call you back some other time.” Ho Min Lin said.

“O-okay! Talk to you soon!”

Ho Min Lin hang up the phone and put down her phone at the bedside table. She looked at the wall clock and it was almost 11 in the evening. She lied down on the bed and shut her eyes to sleep but after some toss and turn, she still could not sleep. She reached for her phone at the bedside table and composed a message to Tan Ji Nan.

HO MIN LIN: Are you asleep now?

Tan Ji Nan who just came from the shower room picked up his phone when the screen lit up.

He smiled when he saw Ho Min Lin message.

TAN JI NAN: Why are you still up?

HO MIN LIN: I can’t sleep.

TAN JI NAN: Why?

Ho Min Lin did not answer his question.

HO MIN LIN: Why are still up too?

TAN JI NAN: I just had a bathe but will hit the sack soon.

HO MIN LIN: Please don’t sleep yet. Talk to me first until I doze off.

Tan Ji Nan looked at her message then sent a reply.

TAN JI NAN: What’s bothering you?

Ho Min Lin was typing a reply when her phone suddenly rang.

“Why can’t you sleep?” Tan Ji Nan asked with a worried tone.

“I was thinking about what happened inside the car earlier.”

Tan Ji Nan fell silent.

“I know it’s been hard for you to always control yourself in a situation like that…I’m sorry because your girlfriend could not give it to you yet.”

“Don’t overthink about it. You don’t have to apologize. I should be the one to say sorry because I lost myself for awhile earlier.”

“I thought about it, if you really want s.e.x I can…”

“Stop it Min Lin!” Tan Ji Nan said and his voice suddenly raised.

“But..” her voice was trembling.

“I said I can wait! So please stop pressuring yourself about it….”

Ho Min Lin bit her lower lip to stop the tears from falling.

“Our relationship is more than just a s.e.x. I didn’t want this relationship just to have s.e.x with you. I enter into this relationship because this has been the relationship I always wanted all my life. I entered this relationship because it’s with you…”

“You do really love me” Ho Min Lin said when she realized it.

“I didn’t know that you still have doubts.” Tan Ji Nan said with a twinge on his voice.

“I’m sorry” Ho Min Lin said and her voice cracked.

“I love you, Min Lin!” Tan Ji Nan realized that he never once told her that he loves her. Maybe it was the reason of her insecurities on their relationship.

Ho Min Lin suddenly burst into tears. This was the first time that Tan Ji Nan said those words to her again.

She didn’t know she has been longing to hear those words from him again.

“If saying I love you will give you assurance of my love for you then I will tell it to you, everyday…” said Tan Ji Nan.

“Oh Ji Nan, I’m sorry for doubting your love for me.”

So there, she just wanted an assurance that Tan Ji Nan’s feelings for her was still the same as it was before when they were in highschool.

How could a word like I love you can brought too much security on her doubting heart?

They said that actions speaks louder than words. But sometimes, words was more than enough.

…..

It was already 1 o’clock in the morning and Lu Jiaosheng was still staring at the ceiling of his room. Lee Jin Ho has already a girlfriend? How did it happen? When did he start dating? So if Lee Jin Ho has a girlfriend now, he was the only single left guy among the four of them?

Yan Mor Tee was a happily married man now.

Tan Ji Nan was planning to propose a marriage to Ho Min Lin soon.

And Lee Jin Ho has already found a girlfriend.

Then what about him?

He was still feel at lost because until now he still couldn’t find someone whom he can settle his feelings with.

Will he ever find his match too?

….

The next day, Tan Ja Nin woke up early because the call time for her first shooting day was as early at 5AM. The location shoot was in the countryside so they need to travel as early as 5AM to avoid the traffic. Lee Jin Ho dropped her to the office of the advertising agency where all the production team and the actors will meet up for them to travel together in a coaster bus provided by Shunshinati.

“Call me as soon as you reach your destination.” Lee Jin Ho told Tan Ja Nin before she alighted from his car. He parked his car at least 20 meters away from the meeting place to ensure that no one will saw them.

Tan Ja Nin nodded. “I’m going now.”

“I will miss you….” Lee Jin Ho said.

Lee Jin Ho pulled her and gave her a kiss on the lips.

“Take care of yourself there since Manager Mo will not going to be with you on this trip.” said Lee Jin Ho.

Tan Ja Nin chuckled “I’m no longer a child and I can definitely take care of myself there.”

“Call me for anything emergency.”

Tan Ja Nin looked at Lee Jin Ho and was touched by his never-ending concern.

“Okay, boss!” She said as she unlocked the car door.

Lee Jin Ho watched her as she alighted from his car until she was already in-front of the advertising agency building.

…..

The travel time going to the location shoot from the city was about 4 hours so Tan Ja Nin slept on the car to regain her energy. She only had 5 hours of sleep because she rolled in between the sheets with Lee Jin Ho last night. When she woke up, they’ve already reached their destination, she was in awe of the beautiful sceneries that she saw from the coach bus window when she opened her eyes. She saw an alphine from her left side and a flower fields on her right. She suddenly thought of Lee Jin Ho. The place could have been more beautiful if he was with her. She started imagining herself walking at the flower fields hand in hand with Lee Jin Ho, then they would walk through the alpine trees then he would kiss her.

She smiled with that thought.

“Daydreaming of your boyfriend?” The advertising agency manager asked her when she approached her and saw that she was daydreaming.

That made Tan Ja Nin senses back. She smiled at the advertising agency manager “I wish I have a boyfriend but unfortunately I don’t have one”

“This place is very romantic.” The advertising agency manager looked at the window and appreciates the beauty of nature. “I should have brought my boyfriend here with for a good walk under the alphine trees but you know…work..!”

“You can always come back here with your boyfriend for leisure next time.” She said as also would love to plan to come back to the place again in the future with Lee Jin Ho.

“Surely!” The advertising agency manager answered. “Let’s go to hotel now and have a rest first. We will start shooting by 3 in the afternoon. We will shoot a day scene first then continue with the night scene later. We might be shooting until dawn so it’s better to get a good rest now.”

Tan Ja Nin nodded and got her luggage at the back of the coach bus and walked to the exit door. As soon as she alighted, she took a photo of the beautiful sceneries around her then sent it to Lee Jin Ho’s WeChat.

TAN JA NIN: Wish you were here!

Lee Jin Ho curled up a smile when he saw it then typed a reply.

LEE JIN HO: I miss you already.
