Stuck

Chapter 10

We were on our way to lunch, Taeyong couldn't join us today, but I texted Jisung where we would be and told him a few friends would join us, I also told Doyoung, Jaehyun, Taeil, Haechan, and Jungwoo, my brother will be coming, "I didn't know you had a brother, what's his name?" Haechan asked in his usual cheerful voice.

"I do, we both live togetheratill, we split the rent, we almost couldn't get it, but somehow he talked his way into it, so here we are, but his name is Jisung." I said, Haechan stopped for a second, then kept moving so he didn't fall behind.

It was quiet for a bit while we were still walking, I turned towards the others and saw them all on their phones, "I hope you all trip over nothing." I said catching them all off guard. It looked like I scared specifically Jungwoo, Taeil, and Haechan.

I chuckled seeing their reactions, I turned to face front again as we were approaching the entrance to the restaurant we usually eat at, I saw Jisung already there, leaning against the wall.

"Jisung!!" I yelled waving my hand at him, he looked up from his phone once he heard me, he smiled and waved back, "Hey Jieun!" He said still smiling.

I jogged over to him, and hugged him, (this is a very touchy set of siblings, nothing more, this is not Alabama) he hugged me back, after we hugged for a few seconds, he spoke, "So who are your friends?" He asked.

"Oh, well, that's Doyoung, I've known him the longest, I'm a little surprised you two have never met, that's Jaehyun, Taeil, Jungwoo, and Haechan." I said pointing to whoever I was introducing.

"And this is Jisung." I said looking back towards the others, they all waved at each other, "Wow, I didn't know you were capable of having friends other than Hanse and Jennie." Jisung said teasing me.

I glared at him, "Who else would I have made friends with, no one else but my Fucking boss talked to me and I was never the social type in school." I said defending myself.

"Ok fine, fair enough." He said surrendering as we walked into the restaurant.

Once we found a table, we were talking about random things, Taeil and Haechan arguing about something, Jaehyun and Doyoung talking about fish or something I don't know, Jungwoo was listening to both conversations and finding it hilarious, Jisung and I were talking about completely random things about anything, then I felt it again, that feeling.

Someone was watching, but who, what do they want from me, why am I significant to them. I asked myself not noticing the tense atmosphere around me, I glanced at Doyoung, to see him already looking at me, "Jieun, you ok?" Jisung asked placing his hand on my upper back.

I nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine, I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." I said standing up and walking to the bathroom.

I got to the bathroom and went into a stall, I stayed in there for a bit trying to think straight, not having to worry about that person watching me, I sat there with my face in my hands trying to relax myself.

I wasn't sure how long had passed until my phone went off.

Bunny Rabbit

Bunny rabbit: You ok? It's almost time to go, Jisung is getting worried too.

I'm fine, just thinking, I'll be out soon. :Me

After I sent that message, I decided to head out after collecting my thoughts. I walked out of the bathroom and instantly felt it again, I walked kinda fast towards the table everyone was at, I sat back down next to Jisung once I got there.

"You ready to go?" Jisung asked, I looked over at him and smiled, "Yeah." I said before we all stood up and started walking away, Jisung went his separate way and the rest of us walked together.

We talked about random things on our way back, separating when we needed to and getting back to work, I worked so much, mostly to distract myself, but I ended up finishing all the work Taeyong sent me to do, which should have taken me at least two days.

I knocked on his door and waited for a signal to come in, after hearing a "hello." I walked in and placed the finished work on Taeyongs desk.

He looked at the work then at me, "You work fast, good, do you normally work this fast though?" He asked which threw me off, "What?" I asked confused almost.

"Do you normally work this fast, or are you just working like this to distract yourself. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you getting things done early, but Doyoung would kill me if he found out you were ignoring yourself for work." He said which I almost laughed at but I was too taken aback by Taeyong being worried about someone like Doyoung being mad at him.

"Well, I mean yeah, I've always worked more to distract myself from my personal conflicts, it works." I said still finding it a bit strange that my boss was literally telling me to concentrate on myself. "You know that can make it worse right? You're bottling up your feelings, one day it will be too much and you'll lose it, now go take a break, walk around, talk to someone, I know for a fact they are probably just messing around not doing what they're supposed to be doing." He said before waving his hand as a signal to leave, "Thank you." I said before walking out.

I thought about what he said, I want to listen, but I'm scared of people seeing me differently, they might see me as fragile or breakable. I walked out of my office to go find Haechan, almost as soon as I turned the corner I saw who I was looking for.

He spotted me before I got all the way to him, "Jieun!" He said and walked up to me.
