YOU

CHAPTER 51

The taxi slows down right in front of Irene's apartment.

"Ma'am" the taxi driver clears his throat because Joy while was lost in her thoughts

"oh I'm sorry" she apologized and heads out from the taxi right away.

"ma'am! Your change?"

"No..." She waves her hands in a hurl "keep the change" she croaks as she leaves the taxi with heavy breathe as her heart wails hurt deep bruised and confused, not wasting any time she headed into Irene's apartment, for a moment she thought she's imagining things, then she heard laughs coming from the corridor she didn't know where to go, all she could think was Irene... as she ascends to the stairs she wondered who is keeping Irene company? It is shocking to see irene has visitors in her apartment she doesn't invite people except if it's her or family.. as she slowly approaching upstairs hearing familiar voices she stops,

"look at your hair" eunkwang laugh loudly causing Irene to attack and smack him, Joy couldn't believe what she's hearing.

"This can't be.." she whispered slowly to herself and she sees eunkwang laughing on the ground while Irene wrestling him.. she chokes not knowing what to say, it looked like they were completely happy not caring if about her existence.. she covered her mouth and run back downstairs as soon as she opens the gate she bumps and stumble into someone who gladly catches her but failed she dropped on the ground and she didn't even bother to look, she bowed several times with her tears dripping down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry" she muttered and headed her way out of there then the rain started to fall, she wanted to shrink as she feels the cold and the water touches her skins could her day get any worst than this? she thought and stops as she heaves for air everything started to fade blurry lines and spots fading her away... A silhouette started to appear from a distance calling her name.

"Sooyounga..." the voice bringing her back from oblivion

"Please baby doesn't do this" he utters as he reaches out for her body pulling her to fit right where she belongs right in his arms.

"I'd rather die than seeing you like this, everything's going to be alright.." he whispered as she fades away back into darkness.

"my daughter" the old man faintly shouted but his voice came out weak than expected, he wanted to reach out for her but with his walking stick it seemed too impossible as he watches Joy run towards Sungjae's arms.

"Sir stop, it's not the right time." one of his men told him guiding him back to Irene's apartment.

...

Time is the only essence that keeps him at the edge, Sungjae huffs as he watches Joy's sleeping form from his bed, anxiety is building the minute the clock ticks, slowly getting nearer to her awaken state, uneasiness and stinging pain of the fear of what might she do when she wakes up, she might not want to be there, worst comes to worst he sighs completely defeated and doesn't want to let her go this time he just wants to make sure that she'll stay right there, hoping not running away from him again...

"Is she okay?" Wendy muttered looking warry she has huge news about his company.

"She's not" he muttered "she's not okay with everything that happened in her life, this is my fault" He continued devastated as he holds her hand.

"Can we talk outside?"

"I'm not going anywhere."

Wendy huffs looking at her friend he looks so devastated "she's not going anywhere this time," Wendy pause and frowns "never" she corrects her statement while staring at her friend
