Jin realises in his blind fury what he was doing and is shocked at himself. I have been under so much stress and it all took a toll... He can see clearly now she is shaking and crying hard. Afraid of him. Of what he became. He lets her go. Jin gets up and coughs while looking out over the city, trying to compose himself again. She brings out things in Jin that he never had before. He has never felt this wound up before.
Allison slowly sat up, wanting to try to run out of the room though she knew her father's guards wouldn't let her go. Instead she got up and hurried to the bathroom, shutting the door behind her and she tried to steady herself, still shaking in fear.
He wasn't proud of what he just did. Actually he's very ashamed of it, but the anger inside him didn't subside. But he didn't want to scare her any further. He is getting haunted by her face that she had. The one of pure disgust and terror. That's the first time he saw a face like that when someone looked at him.

Maybe she is telling the truth... But he shakes his head "This is all her fault. And even if it isn't her's specifically, it's her family's fault." He clenches his fists and jaw while looking out of the big windows that reveal the city. It is such a romantic apartment but why does it feel like a prison? He can't fully enjoy the view.
Jin grabs a drink from the fully stocked fridge and drinks it in a hope to quench his anger a bit. After he came a bit more to his wits, he walked to the bathroom door and wanted to knock on it, but his vanity and pride refused to give in. After blowing his fuse like that, why would he suddenly turn, she'll think of him as a freak. Jin leans against the bathroom door. He slides down and closes his eyes, praying for a miracle that would take the both of them out of this nightmare.


Allison stared at herself in the mirror, splashing some water on her face as she tried to calm herself down. She could vaguely hear Jin outside the door but she had no desire to interact with him anymore. However, she knew she couldn't stay in the bathroom forever. She mustered up all her courage and opened the door, seeing the other sitting down in front of it, a bit shocked that he was there. "Move please..." she said meekly, "I want to get my phone and call my dad." Allison mumbled, motioning to her phone that had fallen out of her pocket on the couch during the incident.
Startled by the sudden loss of door behind him, he looks up and sees her mumbling something. Jin scoots over and gets up too. Before he knew it, she is already at the couch grabbing her phone. What is she going to do? He waits in anticipation.

Allison picked up her phone and called her dad quickly, walking over to the window as she spoke, not even caring at this point if Jin heard her. "Dad, I want to come home." She said. "No, no I don't want to be here. Please don't make me stay I...I know I understand it's my responsibility to do this for the company but...no dad, please I just-...we can figure out another way..." she was cut off again, sighing as she listened, her father's angry voice being heard through the phone, he was yelling loud enough that even not on speaker his voice boomed through the room. She was silent for a moment after the yelling stopped. "Okay..okay, bye." She said quietly as she hung up the phone and put it in her pocket, staring out the window, trying not to start crying again as her father was refusing to hear anything she had to say about Jin.She really does hate it too.... "Ehm... I just overheard you...and..." Jin is this close to apologising, but he gets scared again. "Guess we are in this together. At least something we have in common." he sighs. "I still don't want a soulmate, so I'll just sleep in the couch. You can sleep in the bed." Jin walks to the couch and fluffs up a pillow. Atleast it's a cozy couch...
Allison sighed and ran her hand through her hair as she finally turned to face him, "Yeah, that's probably a good idea.." she said quietly as she shuffled to the bedroom, picking up her suitcase which she had abandoned at the door to drag it in with her. She wondered why Jin was so adamant about not wanting his soulmate, it didn't make sense to her. Even given her situation, she had originally been happy to meet him finally. She wanted to ask about it but was afraid to approach him again as she began unpacking her things.
