"Anything else?" She asked, smiling wide signing onto the last of the sheets. Her signature was dark and bold...just like how she felt.

He opened his mouth to say something more but was cut by the shrill sound of his phone ringing. Digging it out of his coat pocket he shot her a look and sneaked a peak. "Sorry, my colleague is calling." He said answering it and before she could even excuse him he walked out the door of the apartment that was soon to be hers. Things finally started to make sense and there weren't any more conflicting feelings in her chest anymore. Everything was clear. She ran her fingers on the white marble of the kitchen counter tops, the thin layer of dust clung onto her skin. This was a new beginning she didn't realise she and tae needed. She had Namjoon to thank for this one, actually she needed to thank him for everything.

The house reminded her of her home almost, the same wood floor, the french doors opening into a slightly bigger balcony..if she decorated it right, it could almost be identical. Checking her phone for the time her heart dropped when it was eight..Yeah, she couldn't go out with Tae ho anymore, she didn't want to do that to someone as nice as him. Whether or not he still wanted them to go to the exhibition together, she needed to come clean to him and thinking about it dug a hole through her stomach allowing guilt to flood in. Hurrying out the door she searched for Park min-seok.

"Of course he did it cause's he's sorry for her, Yah! have you met any celebrity who would want to have any connection with a nobody? Stop spouting nonsense."

A-Rin's heart beat faster and her breathing became shallower. Was he talking about her? Her feet came to a stand still as she leaned her back against the wall face turned in the direction of him talking. Was he talking about namjoon? her eyebrows furrowed.

"When Namjoon called me, I was so surprised..you know how we weren't in the best of terms right? After is ex girlfriend...yeah. I thought he was gonna brag but he fucking apologised man."

Her fists clenched at the ballsy tone in his voice, if only she could punch him.

"Of course I didn't tell him we're married, you nuts?!" He snickered kicking the dust.

"Get lost, he's a millionaire of course I helped him out, he sounded so desperate. I don't blame him, having a poor painter leech off of him... obviously he wanted to get rid of her." He laughed out loud oblivious to A-Rin who was hearing it all with fisted hands and a racing mind. Namjoon felt sorry for her? She scoffed, she didn't ask him for any favours....but the thought in the back of her mind, maybe she bothered him too much with her unsteady self, crying and talking to him about her life....God, she was so stupid. So fucking stupid to think he would be there.

"I know dude, like this bitch took the most expensive apartment of the lot, Namjoon's gonna have to put down more from his pocket." He cackled unable to bare the joy of extorting more money from his classmate. She let out a scoff in disbelief. Namjoon was paying a part of her rent? who did he think she was? a charity case? She shifted on her feet and pressed closer to the wall hearing him gossip about namjoon.

"No, she doesn't know. He agreed to pay extra on the house to keep me quiet. He just want's her out of his life man....shit, she's inside" He muffled his laugh with the back of his hand. Every word he said crushed her heart, every supportive word Namjoon said, every smile he gave her....no wonder he suddenly disappeared. Him getting worked up about her living situation even when he barely knew her...his need to fix it...she gripped her hair tugging at the strands near her scalp. Shit, everything made sense. His sudden absence when he finally solved it ...tears pooled her eyes distorting her vision. She was nothing to him but a problem he needed to fix and now that he did...he was leaving. Fucking hell, what was she thinking? that by some twist of fate he felt the same way? How old are you A-Rin, its all so obvious..this isn't a fairytale you idiot.
