FIFTY-FIVE

"How have you been, oppa?"

The male frowns, instinctively taking a step back. She takes one forward.

"Chaeyoung, what the fuck are you doing here?" He questions, a scowl forming on his face.

She narrows her eyes. "I came to see you," Chaeyoung says, her tone harsh, upset with how the older is acting.

He should be enthralled to see her.

Jeongguk scoffs and tries to brush past the woman, but she has a tight grip on his forearm.

He looks back at her eyebrows knitted together in annoyance. "Move Chaeyoung."

"Are you seriously going to be like this? You're supposed to be happy to see me!" She yells, and heads turn to look at her. Them.

Pointed stares all at Jeongguk.

The male frowns, conscious of all the eyes on him. He doesn't have the best reputation or a clean record, and it's known. Chaeyoung is shameless and a low sad excuse for a human. One wrong move, and he's she'll turn him into the bad guy.

"Please just move," he pleads, shaking himself out of her grasp, and turning to walk away.

"I talked to your dad."

He stops in his tracks completely.

Time seems to slow as he turns to the girl.

There's this smirk on her face, and her arms are crossed against her chest as she stares him down.

"You did what?" he questions slowly.

There's no way.

No.

She couldn't have stooped that low.

"Your father. Min Hyun-Wook? He likes me a lot. He wants the both of us to see him at his office this week," Chaeyoung says.

A smile comes to her face as she watches the color drain from the man.

Jeongguk narrows his eyes, nostrils flared, and his fist clenched tight. He's so angry he can barely see straight.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" He shouts, ignoring how people turn and stare.

Chaeyoung scoffs as crocodile tears fill her eyes. "Jeongguk, I just wanted to be around you. I mean, you blocked me on everything!" She reasons, quickly playing the victim.

"And for a good fucking reason, you stupid bitch. Why the fuck would you get in contact with him?" He hisses as he steps toward the woman.

"How else would I get you to speak to me!" Chaeyoung retorts.

Jeongguk lets out a laugh in disbelief, and his eyes prick with tears. "You have no fucking idea what you've just done to me," he mutters, his voice shaky, ready to break down but not here. He's not going to give her that satisfaction.

"Grow up. You have no choice," Chaeyoung hisses.

Jeongguk's eyes burn holes into the young woman who grabs onto his arm tight, nails digging into his skin as her red lips pull into a saccharine smile.

"I will not put my hands on you, so if you think you can act like a fool and play victim, it's not going to happen, Chaeyoung," the older states firm as he keeps his eyes locked on her.

The girl scowls, her eyes welling up with anger as her sharp nails dig into his flesh, breaking skin. "You're so fucking an–"

"Is there a problem here?" Someone asks as they step next to Jeongguk.
