NOTHING BUT YOU | Na Jaemin

Part 19 | After The Party

Grace sits on the edge of her bed, looking at her reflection in a mirror thinking about the dress she wear right now. It's 6 pm and she's ready to be pick up by Taeil for a party tonight.

Grace decided to wear her black dress that she used to wear on every formal event. It's been a long time since Grace wear that dress and somehow Grace felt like the dress is getting small and short every year.

"God, is this slit okay?" She murmured, talking to herself in the mirror while looking at the slit in her dress that reveals her thighs.

"Grace you're doing good, be you." She inhaled, smiling in the mirror in order to throw away the negativity thoughts in her head.

Grace grab her phone in the counter, looking at the notifications. She's been waiting for Na Jaemin's respond since this morning. Grace decided to text him again after two weeks since their reeling night. Grace has come to her decision that she won't text or call Na Jaemin for awhile because she knows what she needed. Grace knows she should prioritize herself more than she needs to think about what everyone feels. She needed a space so she came up to Na Jaemin to stop calling and texting her when she was need a time to be alone.

Na Jaemin agreed. It was his mistake and he admit that he's the one who shouldn't behave like that. He came to realize that the reason why his relationship won't last in the past is because he's the problematic one. Na Jaemin knew that everything he did was bad. He shouldn't treat Grace like that and whatnots. He acknowledged his immature behavior when thinking about mocking her in the first place.

It's empty. Grace could feel that Na Jaemin won't respond since she mentioned Taeil's name in her message.

Oh, fuck it. It's for my work and it's not like I cheated on him.

Grace exhaled, lock her phone screen and grab her purse to get ready to leave. Taeil is going to be here in 2 minutes and she should probably go downstairs before he comes.

Holiday season is coming and Grace could feel that her body is slowly getting better since she has nothing to do in her place beside doing the chores, but apparently her mind is still a mess. Yes, Na Jaemin messes up with her mind so well.

She couldn't stop thinking about Na Jaemin. It's not even a month since they dated yet she felt like Na Jaemin is so far away from herself.

Fuck Na Jaemin, fuck all men.

Grace could feel the air is getting more cold since it's December already. She stomps onto the slippery ground for the second time due to the rain fall this morning.

She waited for Taeil, standing beside the pole in front of her building apartment. She wrapped her coat tightly to keep her warm. She checks her phone to see the notification from Na Jaemin again but it still none. She sighs as she put her phone back to her purse before she could feel her phone buzzing from the notifications on the screen. She quickly see it and turns out it was Taeil who sent her a message.

I'm in front of you.

She look up to see a car that stops right across the street. Taeil opens the windows down, nodding to Grace to give her a sign to get inside his car right now.

Grace walks slowly to his car and open the door of the passenger seat and slide in as soon as she arrived. Taeil greets her with a small smile as he begin to start the engine of his car again. Grace quickly lock the seatbelt as Taeil starts to drive.

Grace could feel the awkward situation with Taeil right now because she doesn't know what to do besides being a statue right next to him. Grace couldn't lie, Taeil looks so fine in his black suit and his slick hair up there. She wanted to compliment him but Taeil seems not having it at this moment. Grace couldn't even blame him for putting a straight face to her.
