" Bitter Truth ".

26. Promise .

" I am her boyfriend " Austin announced standing right next to me holding my hand. My eyes widened. Woo-bin's eyes zeroed at the holding of our hands.

" he's kidding ....we are just friends.." I said laughing airily getting my hand out of his hold. Austin looked at me not saying a single word he sat on the couch, his legs crossed, he took out his phone going through it ignoring us.

" so," I said clapping my hands together, " please have a seat " I instructed Woo-bin, signaling towards the armchair.

He sat down taking out a notebook, a voice recorder, and a mini camera.

I sat next to Austin.
The food in front of me made me drool but I couldn't do anything.

" so hazel... let's start the interview " woo bin questioned with a gentle smile.

" hmm you know actually...I have no idea about this thing...i am really sorry..." I said hesitantly, hoping he would understand I cursed Eddie for being so unprofessional and careless while putting me in such an uncomfortable situation.

" oh okay..." he said looking a little questionable." we can do it whenever you are comfortable...I am sorry for not informing you ahead..." he said placing the notebook back into his bag, I felt quite bad for him.

" how about we have this interview with a cup of coffee next Saturday " I suggested, and his face immediately cheered. I looked toward Austin as I heard a low growl.

" hmm ok let me add you on my WhatsApp " woo bin suggested taking out his phone., Austin stood up running his hand through his hair.

"Are you alright ?" I questioned.

He nodded his head " I need some water " he said walking towards the kitchen.

Woo-bin added me on his WhatsApp while my eyes kept watching at the entrance of the kitchen eagerly waiting for Austin.

" I'll get going then, " woo bin said standing up.

" sure bye !" I said offering a smile. He smiled back " by the way hazel you are really cute," he said " ok " I muttered more to myself as he walked away. I quickly walked toward the kitchen in search of Austin. He was leaning against the cupboards holding my medication. I couldn't figure out whether he was mad or not.

" Why do you have so many of these?" he questioned still reading my medication.

" ah...that " I said pulling a chair and sitting on it putting my hair into a low pony " the one your holding is for my panic attacks, the another one..." I pointed out to the bottle with a red label " for hypertension...the next few are because I am anemic so some iron tablets I guess...then the last one is for my allergies...I have bad allergies last time the Starbucks barista misplaced my order instead of a caramel macchiato, he gave me a pumpkin spice latte...I had to be immediately rushed to the hospital...I remember Eddie got so mad at him he almost got him fired, but at least he was better than Hannah she broke his hand..." I said chuckling looking at Austin who wasn't listening he was focused on the medication making me curious, about what was written on it.

Suddenly his posture was straight, striding toward me. " let's go " he ordered leaving no room for discussion.

I stood up " but where? " I questioned. Looking at all the food that I wasn't able to eat. He did not respond he held my hand guiding me out of the apartment after locking up.

After a ten-minute drive, we reached what looked like a hospital " Austin, why are we here ?" I questioned, looking around.

He still did not answer, he got down the car and coming towards my side he opened the door for me.
