Make you mine

Chapter 10

The next morning, I thought about last night and I wanted to talk to Karina but I figured it'll be better if she'll tell me herself how she truly feels. For the following days, I was just spending my time alone, it felt lonely without Karina's presence. There was just a day left before my flight. I couldn't help but think about Karina, this is so messed up. I can't keep them both, I don't even know if I could even keep Yeji. Should I just stay? after all, Karina somehow pushed me to be better. I was on my way to the airport when I told the driver to drop me at Karina's house. I knocked on her door for 3 times then she finally opened it.

"Top?"-Karina

"hi" I replied with a small smile

"I thought you were leaving for London?"-Karina

"I'm actually on my way to the airport"

I could feel sadness through her eyes. She tried hiding it and just smiled but her eyes can't lie.

"take care top"-Karina replied with a forced smile

When she was about to close the door, I placed my hand so she would look back.

"wait"

"do you need anything, Top?"-Karina

{Author's note: Karina's playing the song 'enchanted' in her head}

"can you walk with me?" I asked Karina

She looked down and replied

"I'm- busy, be safe ok?"-Karina said as tears fell from her eyes

"Karina-"

She shut the door and I tried talking to her through the door but she wouldn't answer me. She never confessed about how she truly felt but we both know that there's always been something. I was just too blinded by the thought of Yeji. Before walking away, I faced her door once again and told her

"Karina, take care of yourself. I'm sorry."

I was hoping for a response but she didn't say anything. I finally left and went straight to the airport. Hours after, I finally arrived in London. The first thing that welcomed me was a limo. I asked the driver to take my stuffs to the hotel and I'll tour London by myself. As each steps I go, I could feel my heart pounding. I distracted myself by enjoying the tour myself. While I was touring London, I suddenly stopped for a moment when I saw Yeji's university. Come on Lucius, I bet she's not in that university anymore. I shook my head and continued walking. I happen to stop in front of a flower shop and admired the roses and tulips. While I was staring at the flowers, a man walked in to claim the flowers he reserved for. While he was waiting he noticed me and said,

"roses are overrated aren't they?"-stranger

"for some"

" here's your bouquet of tulips"-Cashier

"thanks Tom, my girl would love this."-stranger

I never looked at the stranger, when I turned to look at him, he looked familiar but I couldn't remember. He left and I asked the cashier if he's a regular customer.

"Tom right? was that guy a regular customer?"

"I've known him for some time but it was only last month when he became a regular customer and started buying tulips over and over for his girl"-Tom

Tom then added

"His girlfriend is so beautiful, any man would fall for her."-Tom

I smiled a little then left. I was tired from all that walking. I took a rest at my hotel and woke up six in the morning. I took a quick shower then continued walking around London. I bought a coffee and sat at an empty park, there were only few people and mostly students walking around. While I was drinking my coffee, I felt a zap in my chest when I saw Yeji sitting in front of the statue. She was reading a book and she looked amazing. I caught myself walking closer, step by step towards her. I stopped when I saw someone approached her and hugged her back. She was smiling? she seemed happy. I looked down and tried to convince myself to just walk away. Before leaving, I looked at her once more and the guy she was with was the guy at the flower shop. Then I remembered he was her senior, at that point it didn't matter anymore. I walked away with a heavy heart. The following days, during my seminars and trainings I couldn't help but think about how she's happy with someone else. This was the chance I chose? this is nonsense Lucius. I went to a bar and drank to death, hoping to escape the thought of her. I got kicked out of the bar and I didn't know where I was going. I fell asleep at a bench at the park. I woke up at midnight and I was having a headache, I bought coffee at the coffee shop and stayed for a while. London will never be meant for me, I can't let myself fall apart again. I got up and went back to my hotel. After working out, I took a shower and went to our headquarters. They told me I could have a day off. There was someone in the office I was getting along with. His name is Sehun. He works for my Dad.
