My saviour

Part 26 - Argument

(Y/n POV)

When I arrived at work I walked back up to my office like nothing happened, but I could still hear the gossiping whispers of my employees trailing after me.

Each one was filled with pity for me, each one acting like an old auntie at a family meeting talking about how naive you are.

I tried to block it out and continue with my work like normal but every time someone tried to talk to me their eyes would contain pity.

It wasn't even lunch time but I was already done with work and in fact everyone.

The next person to step in here an talk to me like my whole family just died I am actually going to snap. My boyfriend just cheated on me okay? Stop making a big deal out of it.

I looked up when I heard the infamous clicks of Jina's high heels coming closer to the door.

She reached my door and looked in before saying, "so where's Jihoon today?" knowing fully well where he was and what he had doing, being one of the first ones to like the post.

I looked at her smirking face and ignored her before going back to my work. I looked up and she was still there.

I stood up and walked over to her before slamming the door right in her face without saying anything. I smile imagining her angry face while stomping away.

Just then Yeji came into my office and we went down to lunch together.

Walking back into my office on a full stomach I stopped in my tracks when I saw Jihoon sitting on one of my sofas.

I got really nervous trying to figure out how I was going to confront all of this to him without making it awkward or without making making me burst into tears. Jihoon's usual, calm, relaxed face was now full of worry and guilt.

He looked up hearing me walk in and immediately got up walking over to me and taking my hand in his. I shook my hands away like it was burnt and for a second I saw a flash of sadness in his eyes.

"Y/n, I swear I didn't do anything, it isn't what it seems."

I scoffed, "and that's what everyone in dramas say, especially when they're cheating." 

"No please, I woke up late because after coming home late yesterday night I forgot to charge my phone and it died so my alarm didn't ring and I didn't know anything about this until I charged my phone to see that it was exploding with messages."

"Jihoon please just leave, we can talk about this after I get off work. I can't deal with this now, physically, mentally and emotionally."

He turned away without arguing having that lost puppy look. I realised how serious he must be taking this if he was sad enough to not argue back and prove that he did nothing.      

I sighed and sat down in my desk holding my head in my hands I was now not in the mood to do work after that mentally draining talk. 

I got out my phone to see a text from Jeongwoo asking if I was okay and telling me that it was all on the news.

I let out a frustrated aish before feeling hot tears steaming down my face, hitting my lips letting the salty taste spread across my tongue.

Only 24hours ago I felt that my life had been perfect, I had a boyfriend, money and family & friends.

I wished that I could turn the clock back to when everything seemed right, even if Jihoon was still cheating on me at that time and fix this mistake but it was no use what's done is done.

The world will forever look at me as the girl who has everything but a good love life. I didn't want anyone to walk in on me crying so I wiped my tears away and stopped having a pity party for myself.

I took 3 deep breathes and regained my composure before starting to feel very silly. What would the past me think if they found out that in the future they would be crying over boy.

I turned on my CEO work mode and went back to work, I know that it wasn't very smart to bottle up all of the feeling but I had work needed to be done.

When it was time to go home Yeji calmed me down in the car about seeing and talking to Jihoon, giving me advice on what I should say adding that if the conversation got heated she was always available next door.

I felt all warm inside knowing that Yeji will always have my back no matter what.

When we got to our doors she wished me good luck and I took a deep breathe and stepped in.

When I opened the door there was a teary Jihoon sitting on the ground of the living room.

I was shocked, it was my first time seeing him cry since well ever since I lost my memory. I don't know about myself before the accident.

It was strange seeing him cry, he was always cheery, cracking jokes but always making sure to not cross the line.

But seeing him sitting on the living room floor with red eyes made me see a different side of him, one that I've never seen before.

"Jihoon?"
