Fights and Reconciliation

RYUJIN

I couldn't believe what I had just done. I had rejected a good and pleasurable night of pure sex with Yeji. God, I walked from one side to the other in that corridor, thinking about the idea of going back and taking that woman in my arms. But what about Lucy? As much anger as I was feeling that night, I wouldn't do such betrayal.

And would it be betrayal? I didn't have anything with Lucy. Or I did, I don't know.

I shook my head walking out of "Imperium". The maddening noise of the sensual music stayed behind, leaving only the silence of that night. I needed to put my thoughts in order, I needed to understand what was going on inside me.

I entered my car, taking a deep breath. I leaned my head over the steering wheel trying to quiet my thoughts. I would go back home and I would sleep. That was the best choice. As much as I still wanted Yeji with all the strength of my being, I liked Lucy, and it was with her that I wanted to be.

I started the ignition, bringing the car to life, and leaving that place to perhaps never come back. I drove a few times around downtown Seoul, thinking about the idea of picking up Lucy. Surely the problem with Chaeryeong had already been resolved. It took me about half an hour until I passed in front of her building.

With the car moving slowly I could see two women that were more than familiar. One of them I knew was Lucy. The blonde was with the same dress she was wearing at dinner a couple of hours ago. And beside her?

I approached more, with the windows closed. And it wasn't possible. I didn't want to believe it.

Lia hugged Lucy for a long time and she reciprocated in the same way. So that was the problem with Chaeryeong?

A sudden urge to get out of the car and go face both of them took over me, but I wouldn't do such a thing. I was superior to all of that. As much anger as I had, I wouldn't say anything now. I stayed a few more minutes watching the scene until Lucy let go of Lia and looked towards my car. Fuck. She knew.

I sped the vehicle, getting out of that place without looking back. I was angry, feeling like a fool. It was because of this type of thing that I hated falling in love.

Was I in love?

No.

No.

No.

I felt anger, of me, for being stupid enough to refuse a night with Yeji. My will was to return to that club and fuck her until I couldn't anymore. But I wouldn't do it. I would just treat Lucy in a cold way just like she deserved.

***

Bad mood, anger, and impatience.

Those three words defined that day. I took a sip of the strongest Whiskey as breakfast, and then I left for Shin Industry. The traffic was hellish, just like my state of mind. I closed my eyes and the images of Lia and Lucy made themselves present, just like during all the hours that I hadn't been able to sleep that night.

I remembered the wasted moment with Yeji.

Shit.

Minutes later I parked in my presidential spot, and went towards the elevators. The employees rushed to their proper places as usual. I walked among them with a deadly gaze. I entered the elevator and on the tenth floor I saw Chaeryeong enter in it as well.

"Good Morning, ma'am." The woman greeted me, but I didn't even answer.

And after a few floors, the beep of the elevator signaled that I had arrived where I wanted.
