Chapter 8
Porter was trying to get back to his old self – his despicable-to-Janine self – after being able to be that close to her. He was trying to shake the feeling off because he shouldn’t feel it. He shouldn’t be moved by mere closeness. Heck, he shouldn’t be wavered.
He told her that he would wait for her outside because he just couldn’t bring himself to get back to proper breathing, proper heart beating and proper complexion.
How could Janine Kwon, the girl that he pisses off every day, be the reason for this feeling?
“No, Porter.” He muttered to himself. “It’s just because you haven’t been that close to a girl for long that your heart skipped a beat like that.” He shut his eyes and tried to convince himself.
Porter is not the type to party unlike his friends. Well, one, he is not interested and two, he doesn’t like loud places.
Porter’s a downright dork and he knows th

“What are you doing today, baby love?”Johann was all smiles at Janine as they skyped this early Saturday. They had not talked the night before because Janine got home late due to the shortage of cabs last night.Her shopping with Porter ended at 8PM and she waited until 10PM for a cab because, apparently, there were a lot of people waiting for a cab. For a second, she regretted not asking Porter to drive her home. But on second thought, why would she? More time with L would mean more time to get pissed. Hence, more time to get herself into bad mood.So she waited until 10PM and missed Skype with Johann.Janine chewed on the brownie that her roommate, Henney, baked before leaving for her own Team Building with her department.“Nothing much,” she replied while munching the brownies down. “Maybe I’ll just sleep it off all day to catch up on my sleep-deprived nights.” She grinned.Johann frowned at her.

“Is everyone here yet?” Porter asked Jonas as the other employees under his department boarded on the bus.Porter’s department would be undergoing their very own Team Building for the weekend. Everyone is so psyched about this – even those girls who were grunting in disapproval when Porter announced the theme of the team building.“Not yet, Sir.” Jonas replied.Porter sighed and clucked his tongue. It was already almost 7AM and they all agreed to meet before 7. “Who else is not here yet?” He asked as he tried to calm himself.Of all the things and traits that Porter disliked, he dislikes tardiness the most.“Manager Kwon isn’t here yet.” Jonas replied as he looked at the employees slowly getting into the bus. He was checking each employee’s presence. “She’s the only one.” He concluded as every employee had boarded the bus.Porter felt his blood rising w

The group was divided into two teams for the games and the tasks. One team is in charge for the cooking and the other group is for looking of food and the logs to be used for fire.Apparently, Janine was feeling really irked off that she had to be in the same team as this arrogant supervisor. She isn’t that choosy to what group she had to be in but this one. She didn’t want to be anywhere near Porter Kim and she knows that everyone in the group knows that too!Yasmin walked to her to ask if she’s alright – probably because Yasmin is not in the same group as her – to be in the same group with her ‘Most Hated Person’.“I’m just going to endure for this weekend.” Janine beamed and Yasmin nodded. To be honest, no matter how much Janine repels, she couldn’t do anything. The grouping was random. It was a fishbowl technique and everyone was a witness of how the draw-lots was done.Yasmin patted Ja

Porter was busy staring at Janine’s face while waiting for someone to find them and get them back to the camp. To be honest, Porter could just carry Janine back to the camp and lay her to a more comfortable place but he just couldn’t risk it. This is a forest and who knows what creatures are roaming around them now.Janine’s already sick. He didn’t want to put her to a more risk.Porter sighed to himself as he unconsciously strokes the back of his hand on Janine’s face. “Porter Kim,” he chuckled weakly to himself. “You are one funny guy. You can’t just like a person as fast as that.” He spoke weakly and softly.He was taken aback when Janine stirred in her sleep. She was mumbling some words, or rather calling some names, but Porter couldn’t decipher. Was it the name of her lover? He didn’t know. And to be honest, he didn’t want to care.But there is this growing feeling insi

“Should we wake them up?”Yasmin asked Jonas as they watched Janine and L sleeping. Janine’s head is leaning on Porter’s shoulder and Porter’s head is leaning on Janine’s.Yasmin brought her phone out and took a picture of the innocent sleeping people. She smiled widely when she finished capturing this heavenly moment.Porter flitted his eyes open and saw Yasmin and Jonas in front of him, smiling really widely. His eyes widened when he realized the growing weight on his shoulder. He looked at it and he shut his eyes and frowned.Why did his employees have to see this?“Hey, Janine Kwon, wake up.” He shook her a bit. He looked at Yasmin. “She’s sick last night.” He told her. “Do we have some food in the camp?” He asked trying to cover up the awkwardness at their position.Porter is still worried that Janine would still have the hangover of her fever today.

“Mr. Han, kindly bring me my agenda for the meeting now.”Everyone in the office looked at Porter weirdly after phoning his secretary for the first time since he took over the supervisor slot.Janine, on the other hand, didn’t know if she would be happy or what that, finally, Porter made use of his secretary.Yasmin nudged her from the side. “Is it just me or is Mr. Kim acting really differently today?” She whispered to her.Janine looked at Porter who was so immersed into what he is reading. Maybe it’s an important matter. She didn’t know. And obviously, she didn’t care.She shouldn’t care.But since Porter was really good to her and he actually took care of her when she fell from the cliff. She was injured and was burning up and Porter took care of her all night. He even played that darned 21 questions game with her.So, she should at least consider having the benefit of the doub

One week and five days.Porter has been ignoring – more like avoiding – Janine for almost two weeks now. She knows that it sounded ridiculous but she’s bothered by the fact that the person who annoyed her to death is acting like she’s one invisible lady in the office.This morning, Porter asked Jonas to tell her that he’s going to meet another client and Janine has to fill in to his spot on the meeting of the different supervisors of the company. Porter asked him when Janine is just there, listening to their conversation.Today, Porter transferred to his new office. It isn’t really new. It was prepared before but he didn’t really use the office.Maybe Janine was just being concerned. But the thing is she didn’t know why is she is being concerned. She shouldn’t be concerned. She shouldn’t think of Porter who’s obviously avoiding her.But well, the more you think about not thinking abo

Janine was staring blankly at the food.It’s been 4 days since Porter confessed to her but until now, she still couldn’t make herself believe that Porter was ignoring her because he was falling for her.After Porter’s confession, she immediately ran out of his office and never came back. Whenever she sees him, she pretends like he’s not around. Whenever, he calls her to his office, she would ask Jonas to just go in her place and makes a variety of stupid excuses.Ironically, she’s doing the exact same thing that L did to her. Avoiding.“Don’t you think it’s time for you to eat?” Henney asked her. She has been watching her for minutes now and she’s wondering why Janine isn’t even touching her food.Janine nodded and nonchalantly ate her food without a word.Henney narrowed her eyes at her friend who’s acting all strange and all. “Is there something wrong?” She
