Lost and found

Chapter 6

We spoke of random things, though I did enjoy getting to know him. We spoke about school a lot, I suppose it's the one thing we know we have in common with each other. He intrigues me yet I can't help but have that lingering thought in the back of my head that I should just get up and walk away.

I usually like to put up an exterior for people. Growing up without many people does that to you. I know from where he comes and why but he's slowly breaking through my walls by just talking to me while we bask in each other's presence.

It's nice. I haven't felt nice in a while.

People usually address me as 'Scarletts weird sister' or something stupid like that, so it's nice to finally have someone talk to you like your human.

I guess I was staring at him as I was thinking because when I come to my senses he's staring right back at me with a genuine smile on his face. I can't lie it made me feel a little giddy. I looked away hoping he didn't see me blush. God I blushed. I hope he didn't notice.

"You can stare as much as you want, I don't mind" I looked up at him and he was still looking at me. "It just gives me an excuse to stare at you, and I've gained a liking in doing so." God could he get any better.

"That was a smooth one, did you practice that on the way here?" He laughed at me throwing his head back slightly.he then reached out to hold my hand which was lay on the table and they both rested there for a while.

His attention was then dragged to something behind me. And as fast as it happened, he pulled his hand from mine and his face turned to one of utter seriousness.

Shit. I should have known this would happen. He's here for one thing and I let a sliver of my heart guide my actions, and now he's gonna rip it to pieces.

I dread what I'm about to do but I need to know so I turn my head slowly to the window a few feet behind me, and as I expected there was someone there. He looked quite intimidating.  Tattoos all over, more than Jungwon as he had them all up his neck with a few on his face. He was staring right at us.

"Hey," my attention was pulled back to Jungwon , he looked at me with apologies and slight regret, "I have to quickly handle something, I'll be right back" he got up with a tight and quick smile and walked towards the door of the restaurant.

I can't do this. I know what's about to happen. He's gonna try to get me to go back. I know their boss has wanted me back there for a years but they have never succeeded. It would take something incredibly massive for me to ever go back there. I never met there boss but I know he knew of me while I was there.

I don't want to leave because I don't want to leave Jungwon. But as much as my heart fought for me to stay for him, I've learned I have to go off of my head and my gut every so often. So I follow my head. I quickly grab my phone and my purse, and walked swiftly towards the entrance to the restaurant without either of them noticing but fortunately they had moved to the shadows.

I hovered around the door of the restaurant and waited for him to come back in, I knew if I walked out now they're see me and stop me from going.

I only waited a few minutes when Jungwon walked back into the restaurant with a sigh and his head partially in his hands. Before he had the chance to look up and see me I slipped out the door.

Slight relief washed over me as I noticed his friend was also gone. I start to walk away from the restaurant, but I had to. I looked back, and saw him stood at the window staring at me. I instantly hated myself for leaving. The look on his face, the look of understanding yet sadness made me want to cry and run back to hug him but I knew I couldn't, so instead I turned and kept walking.

I was surprised when I felt something warm roll down my cheek, a tear. I had shed a tear over him. I quickly wiped it away not letting myself acknowledge it any further as I reach my hand out for a cab.

What have I gotten myself into?

And how the hell do I get myself out?

Or do I really want to?
