Sold? Oh Please. Chapter 54

Krystal stared at her screen for what felt like forever, she tried to convince herself of what happened earlier today but she couldn't.
"Krystal?" Her sister called out to her but she remained passive and in moving.
Peeping out through her sister tried to find out what she was doing, if she hadn't heard her call.
"Krystal.... Krystal.... Hey! Krystal!" She yelled. No answer, she dropped the noodles she held into the water, not caring if they became too soggy for her. She stripped off the nylon gloves and walked over to her sister. Tapping her violently she called out again. "Krystal!"
"Hmm? What?" She responded looking up at her sister's annoyed expression.
"What exactly are you thinking of? Dinner is ready." She stated.
"What are we eating?"
"What else, noodles. We can't afford anything else" Karen said bitterly reminding her sister of her unemployment.
Krystal sighed getting up she walked over to the meal and sat on the floor across her sister. As time passed, Karen noticed her sister staring into space again, tapping her plate she garnered her attention.
"What's on your mind?"
"Have you ever felt hypnotized?" Krystal asked.
"Hypnotized? Wow... what have you gone and gotten yourself into?" Karen asked her sister.
"I don't know, I feel this strange way." Krystal said.
"Okay then fine, explain to me everything that happened today" Karen said, deciding that hearing the events off her day would lead her into a suitable conclusion.
"I didn't feel that way at the beginning of today, I was at the hospital-"
"Hospital?! Oh my goodness Krystal are you sick?" Karen asked worry etched all over her soft features.
"Yeah, yeah I went there to...." She paused. 'Should I tell her about Jessie Marin?' She thought, 'No it's far too risky.' "It's no big deal, I was just there." She said.
"You were just there? Come on Krystal don't lie to me, please, tell me is something wrong with you? Are you dying?" Karen asked.

Krystal sighed and rolled her eyes, her sister could definitely be loving when she wanted to, or maybe she just didn't want to be an orphan. "I'm not dying, stop saying rubbish" Krystal scolded.
"Then why did you go to a hospital Krystal? I can handle it, I swear. So tell me are you really dying?" Karen insisted on her question.
Krystal sighed, she was unrelenting.
"Fine I went there to look for a job." She lied, hoping it would be enough to get her detective little sister off her back.
"A job? What qualifications do you have to be working in a hospital? Don't even say cleaning because it common knowledge that you're dreadfully lazy, plus you can't be a nurse or doctor or anything of the sort." Karen huffed.
Krystals jaw dropped and she stared daggers at her little sister, "shall I remind you I'm the elder sister? Hmmm?"
Karen pouted "fine, I'll back off. Why then did you feel hypnotized?"
"I met someone, after I saw him I couldn't speak coherently and I was completely stupified. Next thing I know I'm standing outside the hospital walking away to the bus." Krystal said, recalling the events of the afternoon.
"Ahhh...." Karen frowned. "This is because of a guy."
"Not just any guy Karen, I mean I've seen handsome guys in my life but he was...."
"If you say beautiful I'm going to puke" her sister cringed.
"No, no not beautiful definitely not beautiful. He looked like an angel, so... I don't know how to put it!" Krystal squealed.
Karen stared at her sister with a bored expression, typical of Krystal to act this way over guys. Although this was the first time she was losing sleep over a guy that didn't sing or dance or sign autographs. "Is he really that good looking?"
"No... it's not about his looks actually, when you look at him for the first time he's just another good looking guy. But when he has a way of making you feel.... seen? I swear I had an agenda I was not leaving that hospital without it, but he came and smiled at me.. next thing I was following after him." She said more seriously "wait a minute, I did have an agenda."

Karen rolled her eyes "your story seems farfetched. Did you at least get his name?"
"No... I told you, speaking was a challenge for me." Krystal sighed.
"Now I'm curious, I want to see this guy. How about we search the hospital if he is as good looking he should be in the hospital media right? These days it's all about visuals." Karen said, rushing to pick up her sister's laptop.
She sat beside Krystal on the floor and typed in Song group of hospitals, specifying the branch in their city.
A couple of pictures popped up, with some articles. "Oh? that guy looks familiar" Krystal pointed to the article that read 'Bishop Song has appointed his son, the third son of Song Group, Paul Song, head of the board'.
They clicked on the picture and saw Bishop Song and his third son cutting the ribbon into the newest branch of the Song hospitals.
Krystals eyes widened and Karen gasped at her reaction. "No way, don't tell me that is the guy that has you feeling hypnotized." She said.
Krystal nodded. Immediately Karen went on the one place that would have more pictures, social media. While Krystal searched for more information on the web.
"I can't believe I was talking to a cooperate heir! Oh my gosh." She gasped.
"Technically he isn't a cooperate heir, he's the third son" Karen corrected.
She harrumphed "like that means anything these days."
"Wow...."
"What? What?!" Krystal asked her sister. Grabbing the phone from her hand.
She smiled when she saw the picture, "That is the most good looking man I've ever seen. Awesome!" Karen said beside her sister.
Krystal frowned, Paul was certainly good looking alright, but she wouldn't say he's the most good loo- oh wait she looked at the person standing beside Paul and immediately frowned.
"Look at the visuals in this picture, wow!" Karen gasped, leaning over her sister's shoulders to peek into the phone. "Do you know who this other guy is? You probably don't right? And Paul Song didn't tag him. I'm in love." She rambled.
"Hey! Don't you dare, this is the jerk that fired your dear sister." Krystal barked out of annoyance.
"Really?" Karen asked with raised brows.
"Hmmm.. so don't dare compliment him in front of m-"
"I'm sure he had his reasons." She blurted out interrupting her sister, she grabbed her phone and ran into her room.
"Hey! This ungrateful brat! How can you say that about that about him, his a jerk! Hey! Karen!" She banged on the door. Huffing she turned around and walked back to the living room, when the door bell rang.
She got up and walked over to it, "Who's there?"
She grabbed the handle and pulled it open gasping when she saw who stood by the other side of the door.
"W-what are you doing here?" She asked.
"What does it look like? I came to visit." The visitor smiled.
She bowed and moved aside to let him in.
"Krystal, Krystal what's his name? I've gone through Paul Song entire posts but I can't seem to find the name or another picture. Please tell me what the name of you ex-boss. Please, I don't think I can go to bed without more pictures of his handsome fa- Omo!" She screamed when she saw the visitor.
Jonathan tilted his head in question, he had a small smirk playing along his lips, looking to Krystal he grinned. "She's not talking about me is she?"
