My saviour

Part 25- Lied to?

(Y/n POV)

I swiped to the next photo and it was of Soomin; I recognised her face it was hard not to. Being that she was the last person who I seen before everything went dark.

Then I remembered, the day of the car crash and how I was meant to go to lunch with Yeji. For a moment I actually got excited, maybe I'd get the rest my memory back.

In the photo Soomin was smiling with a plate of salad sitting on a table. The table was covered by an expensive, white laced table cloth. The ones that would get ruined with a single drip of wine, which coincidently was just what she was drinking. 

There was a total of 5 photos, each one made me more sick than the previous. I looked through the likes and spotted Jina's account being on the list of many others who had liked the photo.

I sent the post to Yeji hoping she would somehow help. I felt more embarrassed than anything. A successful CEO couldn't even get a decent love life or a loyal boyfriend.

I started to worry about how I was going to confront Jihoon about this, I was hoping that he won't deny it as that would be the worst thing for him to do.

As I was drowning myself in thoughts of pity I heard the front door open, I thought it was Jihoon and that he had came back. I was panicking trying to figure out what I was going to say.

I heard footsteps approaching the room and the door being opened with a creak but when I looked up it was just Yeji.

"Y/n?" she said, walking into my room.

I calmed down when I saw that it was just Yeji and I then burst into tears seeing her calm but angry face. When she saw me with teary eyes she said, "oh my poor child."

She got into bed beside me and wrapped her arms around me. I had my knees tucked in with my arms wrapped around them and my head down.

I was shaking up and down from the crying.

"Y/n, it's okay just let it out, it'll all be fine." 

We stayed like that for a while, me crying with Yeji rubbing my back and comforting me with her words. It must've been a long time though because my eyes were starting to hurt. 

"I'll deal with him for you, I'll make sure he owns up to his mistakes and I'll make him fell sorry for ever hurting you."

I smiled at her kindness and mumbled a small thanks between my hiccups.

"I'll just grab you a cup of water okay?" she got up and walked toward the door.

I lifted my face off my knees, the room was fuzzy from behind all the tears. 

When Yeji came back she said, "that's right, don't cry anymore, it's not worth it."  seeing me wiping my tears. 

I took the cup of water from her and mumbled another thanks. I drunk all of the water, thirsty from all of the crying, the water was lukewarm and made my hiccups go away

Once I finished drinking I set the cup down on the bedside and said, "I just don't get it, you know? He was always so nice and for once it felt like it was different."

I ranted to Yeji for a while but we both must've fell asleep.

I woke up when hearing the alarm ring to find Yeji beside me I shook her awake and said, "Yeji, get up we still have work."

After making sure Yeji was up and ignoring her protests of me not being fit to go to work, I went to the bathroom to wash up while Yeji was still lying in bed.

"Shouldn't you take the day off work, especially after what happened yesterday night?" she asked, shouting from the bedroom for the millionth time.

"If I take a day off work for every time something bad happens to me, you guys would never see me again" I said.  I looked into the mirror and see that my face is swollen and my eyes are red from all of the crying. I nearly gave myself a heart attack from how monstrous I looked. 

I went to get dressed and Yeji left after telling me that she would cook breakfast for us 2 at her apartment. 

I opened the door and went out into the hall after I was done. Looking over at Jihoon's room. His door was closed. He must've been back late yesterday. I tried to ignore the ping in me as I thought that and many other unwanted thoughts.

I quietly closed the door to the apartment and went over to Yeji's, when I opened the door she was there in the kitchen fully dressed for work making waffles.

"Trust me, this is just what you need, quick sit down and eat before it get's cold."

Yeji was right the waffles were delicious, topped with fruit, chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

After breakfast I washed the dishes and wiped down the table while she went to do her makeup then we headed off to work pretending like it was any other day.
