~ Alyssa ~

When I get back to my car and start it to drive away, it makes a lot of noise and shakes a little, but it doesn't start. I sigh annoyed and try it again. Again I hear a lot of noise, but it still doesn't start. Oh no, not this, not now!

I try it again and again and again, but the results don't change. I groan and hit the steering wheel in frustration. "Why won't you work? You worked just fine a few minutes ago!" I groan. I grab my phone and look up the garage that takes care of my car. Open from 8:00 till 17:00. I look at the time, 17:23. Maybe they are still available. I call the number, but no answer. Shit!

I groan, but I try to stay calm. I get out of the car to get some air and to think what I can do. Who can I call for help? Who knows stuff about cars? But no name comes up in my mind. Maybe I can just leave my car here and call someone to bring me home. For a second I think about calling Yeosang again, but then I realise he is busy.

I could call Taehyung? He is spending his day with Yoonah today. Will they be back home yet? Maybe, maybe not. But do I want to call him and ask him to bring me home?

I look up when a car pulls in right next to me. I get hopeful and pray it is someone I know who can drive me home, but when I see the car, I don't recognize it. Who is this?

When the window rolls down and a head pops out of the car, I freeze completely. No way...

"Oh my god! Alyssa! It is really you!" Mick of all people gets out of the car. He looks at me with wide eyes and a bright smile on his face. Wow... I haven't seen him in ages!

His dark hair got a little longer and he has more hair on his face, but other than that it is still the exact same Mick. The same Mick who was my friend years ago, but completely turned on me... I feel chills all over my body. Is he really that exact same Mick? Gosh, I hope not... The last time I saw him, was when he made it his mission to expose Taehyung and my relationship... He failed and got kicked out of the building and I haven't seen him since... Until now, I guess...

Mick walks over to me and opens his arms a little. I hope he doesn't want a hug, but when he stops a few feet away from me, I'd say he is just surprised to see me. "Damn Ali! You look amazing!" He says, "How are you?" When I look at him, I feel like he has forgotten all about our past.

"I-I am okay," I tell him, still not feeling comfortable with him here. Mick smiles and looks at the building next to us. "You still work for the entertainment I see! That's great! Still your place to be?" He asks. "Uh, yeah. I really love it and I don't think I'll ever leave," I say. I smile politely at him, but I keep my distance. Both physically and mentally.

When he looks at me again, it seems like he finally remembers the last time we saw each other. He puts his hands in his pockets and looks down. "We haven't met in ages..." He says, referring to that time. "No, we haven't..." I say.

He looks back up to me, but his smile and enthusiasm is gone. "I guess I really messed up in the past, haven't I?" He says. I look away from him, not knowing what to say. "Look, Ali, I really didn't think I would ever run into you again and it feels surreal that I stand in front of you right now. But I think you deserve an apology. Even though it is way too late, because I should've apologized a long long time ago," he says. I feel confused and look back at him. I never thought he would actually apologize. But when our eyes meet, I can see the sadness and the shame in his eyes.

"I am really sorry for everything I've done, Alyssa," he says, "I was stupid and young and jealous. These things do not go together... But that is no excuse. There is no excuse for what I did to you, really. But even after all these years, I want to say that I am very sorry."
