Automatic Love

•chapter 49•

Tai's P.O.V.

I stared at my front door. Anger. Sadness. Guilt. Shame. Disappointment. Suffocation. All of the mixed emotions that I've been feeling lately are extremely draining.

It's an unsettling feeling that I had to feel again. I don't miss it at all. It's a wish that I wished for to not come back. It worked ever since I moved to the States but...why did it have to come back again? Why does it have to happen to me when I finally feel happy?

My fists began to ball up slowly as I felt my blood sizzling inside me. I clenched my jaw and looked at one of my picture frames that was hung up on my wall.

At first, it was tempting to just break something, but screw it at this point. I grabbed one of my frames and slammed it on my floor as hard as I can. Pieces of glass shattered into millions of pieces, leaving some pieces having a similar look to pixie dust.

"Do you thinking breaking your belongings is going to help solve anything?" the last person who I would want to be with said. I didn't even want to take one glance at her. Seeing her face would just upset me even more. She was sitting on my couch relaxing as if everything is good at the moment.

"Why are you doing this to us?!" I asked her with agitation.

"Doing what exactly?" She was acting dumb.

If this lady won't stop acting like this, a few vain vessels will pop out of me. "Why are you causing so much damage between Brea and I? We did nothing to you!" I asked.

She let out a small evil chuckle. "It's simple. All I want is you. Brea was in my way to being able to get with you. And I know her seeing us together makes her quite upset, don't you think?" She smirked.

I was dumbfounded yet so aggravated with the response she gave. It's official, she's a true psychopath.

"What?! You can't just force someone to be with you just because you want them! When the feelings are mutual from one another, it's supposed to be natural! Do you really think you can just have me just like that? That's not how things work here lady." I faced her and argued.

She had a sly smirk on her face and sat up properly with her legs crossed.

"Oh honey, this is just the beginning. This is all new to you and you're in shock, I can understand that. However, love you are staying with me and that's that. If you pull something to get yourself out of this relationship, remember to expect something..dangerous to come your way." She said frankly.

I scoffed and just shook my head.

"Jesus Christ." I said to myself.

I let out the biggest sigh and placed both of my hands on top of my head. Everything was stressing me out deeply. Now, I'm stuck in a situation where I can't think of anything else to get out of it at this moment. "Please, don't show those to him. This project means a lot to Brea and if he finds out, it's going to harm her and get the both of us fired!" I begged.

"If you don't want that, then just take me out to dinner tonight before we lose our reservations." She smiled.

I nodded my head slowly and felt so uncomfortable. If this is what it takes to help Brea out in the meantime, then I'll do it. Just for her. Even if it makes me upset. I'll be fine as long as she will get protected.

Peng's P.O.V.

"그래 엄마, 다 괜찮아," I said.

translation~ Yes mom, everything is fine

I was walking out of my apartment complex to run a few errands. I needed some more groceries and I had to go visit my new manager to finish some paperwork before I start working.
