My Yellow

Part 35 - Rose

"What the hell?" Keehos voice rings out in Theo's and I's room. I open my eyes slightly, feeling arms around me. I shift a bit, hearing Theo mutter something. I open my eyes fully.

"Rose oh my god," Maddy's voice sounds like she's right next to me. I shift my eyes over and see her standing right next to the bed. I sit up and feel Theo's arms drop into my lap. "No way." I watch a grin form on her face. I rub my eyes and move Theo's arms. I get up out of bed.

"I don't want to talk about it," I say bluntly and stretch my arms.

"Yeah no," Maddy shakes her head. "We're talking about it."

"Definitely we are," Keeho calls. I turn to him and stare at him blankly.

"What is there to talk about?" I ask and grab my phone off of the night stand.

"Um," Maddy scoffs. "You guys full on cuddling."

"Must have happened in the night, like what happened with you and Jiung." I stare at her.

"Huh??" Keeho walks over to us and stares at Maddy. "This is news to me."

"Rose I swear to god," Maddy squints at me. I smile.

"You can't say much of anything Maddy," I slide my phone in my pj pant pocket and turn to Theo. He's staring at the ceiling. "Good morning."

"Hm," Theo rolls over and shuts his eyes again. I shake my head a bit scratch the back of my right arm.

"We will continue this conversation later," Maddy whispers.

"No we won't," I whisper back.

"Yes we will!" Shes now whispering yelling.

"No!" I whisper yell back.

"You guys are so weird," Keeho whisper yells, matching our energy. "But Rose we came here because mr CEO is here to talk to you."

"I'm up," Theo says suddenly getting out of bed. "I'll go with you."

"He only wants to talk to Rose," Keeho says. "He specifically said only Rose."

"Then I'll wait outside," Theo shrugs. I feel my chest tighten. The room shifts a bit. I stare at the floor. I don't want to be alone in a room with that man.

"I'll be okay," I say, but my own voice sounds unsure. "It'll be quick." I look down at my Pjs and shrug. I don't want to change.

"Rose.." Theo starts but Keeho cuts him off.

"We'll walk with you," Keeho says.

"No I'll walk with her," Maddy shifts her purse. "You guys need to get to practice." Maddy walks to me, and moves some strands of hair in place on my head. "Come on goblin."

"Okay Gremlin," I smile a bit, but inside I'm panicking. Panicking bad. Maddy hooks her arm with mine and we walk out of the room.  I look back and make eye contact with Theo. I give him a small smile, he gives me a wave.

"As for you.." I hear Keeho start to Theo but soon their voices grow distant. Maddy and I walk to the big meeting room. I look through the glass doors and see Sungho sitting in a chair.

"I'll be back in like an hour, I'm going to go get coffee for the boys." Maddy says and as she says it, I realize I don't know what time it is. I pull out my phone and check the time. 9am. I blink and put my phone back.

"Okay," I nod to her. I take a deep breath and walk in. I walk to the chair across from Sungho.

"No," he says not looking up from his paper. "Sit by me. There's papers we have to review." I suck in a breath that I guess was a bit too loud for him, he looks up at me and furrows his brows. I walk and sit down next to him, moving my chair away from him a bit. "How did the trial go?"

"Good," I nod watching my hands. "Why exactly did you want to see me?"

"To make sure you're doing well," I feel his eyes on me. "And you need to sign some forms, showing that you know we upped the security here."

"Well did you?" I ask, making my eyes meet his.

"Well not yet, see the cost..."

"Then I won't sign it. You're literally a millionaire and you won't spend some extra money to make sure your female staff are safe?" I raise my eyebrows. "Or is it because the true predator is in the building?" Right when I say that, his face falls. "Up security, then we can talk." I stand and push in my chair. Almost like a fever dream Sunghos arm wraps around my waist and he pulls me into his lap. I freeze. My brain malfunctions. I feel his hands going around my stomach, he's whispering something. I snap out of my haze and start to struggle to get free, I end up elbowing him in the jaw and he lets go of me. I get up and stare at him. My mind immediately goes to camera. I look around the room for any type of camera. There's one in the corner of the room. He's not gonna get away with this.

"You're an ungrateful bitch," I hear him say. I look at him, then feel a sting across my face. Did this man just slap me? "No wonder what happened to you happened, you're nothing but a tease. You give me eyes all the time but the moment I make a move you freak out."

"You did not just hit me." I say ignoring his other statements.

"It's nothing you don't deserve. I have been nothing but nice to you and you won't even repay me?"

"What the actual fuck is wrong with you?" I hear Theo's voice from the door. I hold my finger up, telling him not to move.

"Have you ever been hit by a woman?" I ask sungho.

"No, they wouldn't d-" I raise my hand and land a punch across his face.

"Check it off your bucket list," I say with a small smile. God that felt good. "Also there's a camera in this room," I point behind me. I watch Sunghos eyes grow wide. "So either you can resign or something, or I'll gladly take the video to police." I say, knowing no matter what I'm taking the video to the police. Who knows what this scum bag has done to other women. I turn to Theo and walk past him out of the room. I get out my phone and call Soojin. I smile hearing her answer.

"Hey kiddo what's up?" She asks.

"So Sungho, he just like physically assaulted me and it all was captured on the camera in the meeting room. Theo is currently," I say fast, turning to the door. Theo is literally blocking him from leaving. "Not letting him leave the room, so whenever you can get-"

"I'll be there in five. If I need to talk to you, I'll come get you. Did he hit you?"

"Yes," I say. The adrenaline wearing off in my body, so the burning sensation of his slap is prominent. "Slapped."

"Take a photo of where and send it to me, then ice it. I'm getting in the car now. See you soon kid," Soojin hangs up. I lower my phone and the events of what just took place start to settle in. I feel sick. I walk back to Theo and I's room and go inside. Everything happened so fast. My stomach churns. I walk to the bathroom and sit in front of the toilet in case I throw up. I open my phone and go to the camera app, I take a photo of my bright red cheek, then send it to Soojin. I feel my mouth start to salivate more, alerting my body I'm about to throw up. I shut my eyes. I feel hands on my legs, I open my eyes and see John. John? I move back so fast, my back hits the bathtub. I blink and he's gone. I take in a deep breath.

"What happened with Sungho probably triggered trauma," I whisper to myself, reassuring that John isn't actually here. He's in prison. American prison for that matter. My stomach churns more. I go back to the toilet and hold my hair back as I feel the vomit start to come up.
