Daggers in our Heart

Twenty-Eighth

Twenty-Eighth

"WHAT?!" Everyone exclaimed the moment I told them what just happened to me. This is such a shocking news and I can't just keep it hidden to my friends.

We are all gathered here in Krist's condominium unit. Nanon, Off and Krist fresh from their site inspections and real work while Gun and I, fresh from our own internship.

I actually didn't know how I managed to finish my work for today. I just went back inside his office after an hour and just sat there quietly, waiting for him to give orders.

Once my working time is up, I met with Krist outside who welcomed me with his arms wide open acoompanied by his warm and comforting smile.

That's what I need. Friends and comfort because for the first time, I feel unsafe around Joong.

"That's right, I just found out at that specific time that I'll be working for Joong. He's just here when everyone thought he's working in Canada" I tiredly repeated what I just said.

Krist stressfully removed his tie while the other three remained staring at me. No one knows what to do with that information.

"Shia? So I'm right?" Nanon suddenly whispered like he's talking to hisself that made all of us dart him with our questioning stare. He just stared back in a defensive manner.

"What? I saw him the other day, exiting the same restaurant where I was. I just finished having a discussion with a client. I am very tired and stressed so I thought I'm just hallucinating things again. We all think he's in Canada, right?" Nanon answered our obvious question before he stressfully lean his back in the sofa.

Everyone went quiet again, probably thinking. Well, they're still friends so why would Joong hide at them, right? If he doesn't want to see me then he can just contact them and gather around without me. Maybe, he's just really avoiding to interact with me but things fucked up and now we're here.

"Do you think.. Joong intentionally hired you as his Assistant?" Gun suddenly asked and I immediately shake my head to disagree. All this years and Gun can't still let go of his dramas.

"Why would he do such things when he's very mad at me to the point that he wished me to just disappear? He even made me promise not to show myself to him again" I sarcastically explained, making them remember things they forgot.

If he intentionally do that then what's the use of that promise? What's the use of him avoiding his friends? Pure nonsense. And his reactions earlier? He looks like he really wants to throw me out of the company and just stopping hisself!!

"How is he then?" This time it was Off who asked.

"I don't know. We never talk casually like we're very close. He acted like we're pure strangers so, I just tried to act like that too" I uncomfortably answered.

"Really? Or he is giving you a hard time at work that you're crying earlier when I called? First day and you burst out" Krist asked with pure sarcasm.

"YOU CRIED?!" as if programmed, the three exclaimed in unison. I just heave a sigh, I know I don't have an escape.

"A-as if you didn't know how I still feel. Ofcourse I mixed up everything and it became tears again. You know me, I cried everytime I am overwhelmed and feeling a lot of emotions" I answered trying to sound natural when my heart is literally working double time.
