𝐌𝐘𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 | Hwang Hyunjin

3.9

! Tw: sa !

So after that day I met him and Jieun again, it wasn't like I expected. I couldn't just move on with my life just because I knew they weren't mad anyone.

I couldn't just leave Jieun now after meeting her once where we both cried about how much we missed each other.

And it's the same thing with Hyunjin, just unspoken.

I missed him too, and I know thing never can be like they were before again, but he comes to the club sometimes and we just talk.

I'm still a little bit nervous sometimes around him, I don't want to say or do a wrong thing, but I got a lot more comfortable and it's not as awkward anymore.

"It's called pretty privilege, Soomin", he laughs.
"What? No."
"You think it's that easy for an average looking person to make friends?", he asks.
"I mean..."
"Pretty privilege, Soomin, just admit it."

"Yeah, you're right. It's probably because nobody can resist this beauty", I say and dramatically flip my hair. Hyunjin laughs at me.

"Oh, yeah. I especially like your eye bags", he says sarcastically.
"Hey, did you look into the mirror? You also already had better days. At least on me they look good."

"They look good on me too. Everything looks good on me", he also makes the same dramatic hair flip.
"Hey, Soomin", someone greets me from behind. I turn around.

"Oh, hi Ilseung", my coworker just arrived.
"How are you? Aren't you too tired yet?", he asks me.
"No, I'm fine. But I'm happy if I will be home. I will get going then, right? Hope you have a good night, thank you for taking over", I say.

Recently, I am only doing half of the shifts because I was really exhausted all the time and I got sick really easily, so my doctor suggested me to just sleep more.
I go take my bag and leave together with Hyunjin.

"Are you going home now?", Hyunjin asks as we are walking away.
I was actually planning to go home. But then, a car pulls up. At first, we weren't really paying attention, but the person who got out of the car shouts my name.

"Soomin? Are you coming?", Sungho asks.
Oh shit.
He comes closer.
"What is this guy doing here again?", he asks and points at Hyunjin.
"He's a friend of mine", I explain.

Sungho just lays his arm around my waist and holds me close to him, so tut I couldn't get out of his grip.
"Let's go", he says.

"No. Can I please go home, I'm really tired", I say.
He just bows down and gives me a kiss on the neck.
"I know you want to come with me", he whispers.

He wants to take me with him, but Hyunjin stops him. I knew that this won't gonna end good.
"Hey, hey, hey, you heard her. She doesn't want to go with you."

"It's none of you deal, whatever your name is, I don't really care. She just doesn't know what she wants, am I right?", he smirks at me.

He lowers hand that just was on my stomach slowly down, so that it slips into my pants. I don't know what to do, I can't do anything about it, it's like I'm frozen. I just had to let him do it, even tho there are people around seeing this. And it felt so downgrading.

Hyunjin is really angry now. He pushes me away from Sungho and grabs him by the collar.
"Never touch her again, you pervert", he mumbles angrily.

But it doesn't seem to bother Sungho.
He just laughs.
"What you gonna do about it, hurt me? With you skinny arms?", he asks.
Hyunjin got even angrier.

He's about to punch him, I can see it coming.
But Sungho punches him first. He gives him a strong punch into the face, what makes Hyunjin turn away. I can see that his lip is bleeding. I really have to stop them now.

There are so many people watching, they are even some who are filming this. This really isn't good.
"Hey, stop it you guys", I take Hyunjin by the arm always from Sungho.

"Please, go, Sungho", I turn around to him.
He lifts his eyebrows.
"You're telling me to go? You?", he asks.
"Yes, please."

He laughs.
"I don't know who you think you are to tell me what to do, but okay, good bye."
He goes back to his car.

I grab Hyunjin's chin to check his lip.
"Are you Okay? Please never do that again."
"I'm fine", he says.
So we start going.

"There were some people filming. You can just hope that no one recognized you or is going to publish that or else you are fucked", I sigh.

"Why did you do that?", I am still really worried.
"That was sexual harassment what he did! I couldn't just let him do that to you!"
I look down.

"But that's how it works. I have to do everything he says, I have to let him do everything he wants. And this- I don't know, was just a way to show his power. And if I do what he wants, I can get what I want."

"Oh my god, are you serious. I never really imagined that it's like that. You could report him to the police for that. He could go to jail."
"I could go to jail too, it's not like that really counts. I think it's over now anyways."

Hyunjin stops walking, so I also stop. He looks at me for a moment.
And then he just pulls me closer and hugs me.
"I'm so sorry", he says.

I am just confused as hell. Why is he just hugging me like that and now apologizing?
Did he do something?
"Why are you sorry?"

"I shouldn't have gotten so mad back then. It was wrong, I knew you weren't in the right condition but I let my feelings take over. It's all my fault you had to do stuff like that."

I pull away from his hug and look at him.
"What? No, no. It's not. It's totally understandable that you were mad. I mean you had to find out anyways. And it was my decision let guys like him do their stuff. It's not your fault."

"I wish you had never left", he whispers.
I don't know what to say. I just stare into his eyes.
And it just feels like before.

Fuck.

I think I'm falling for him again.
