Hue:Blues Pt.2 ( Ryeji )

18. Stay Away.

3rd POV

The next day may come but a chance for two souls was yet to be rest assured.

They are obviously getting tired of their situation but either gives concrete decision of giving up. It may not be said but they wanted to be with the other.

Past the start of working hours, one was standing inside the elevator while the other was yet to enter, thinking if she would have that small space be spent with the other... Comfortably.

No one dared to move. Just staring at each other's eyes that speaks a thousands of words, tired it may appear but it glistens with longing.

"You can go first" Ryujin step out of the elevator but standing far from the brunette as she spoke.

A moment before Yeji moved and pressed the third floor. She stared at the button and didn't even payed a glance at someone who's watching her the whole time with teary eyes, not until the door slowly shuts.

Ryujin was left on where she stand, not knowing what she should do. She tilted her head upward as she released a deep sigh, eyes were unknowingly verge of crying.

And she knew, she should take her time using the stairs instead. In there, no one was looking, no one will know how she struggled to take those steps while she let the drops of her tears marks her way.

Just a simple sight of the brunette caused her to be like this.

If only she knew why, she would do anything to do everything right. If only Yeji would let her and won't do a thing that will make her think that her effort will be useless anymore.

She won't stay away.

Even how hard it gets... How painful it may be to her.. Just don't give her another reason to stop.

Her day was spent without bothering her Yeji. She decided that destructing herself with painting is better than ruining the brunette's day with her presence.

Although she wanted to see her, she restrained herself. To give the other space.. time.. whatever she needs just for them to talk again the next time she'll try.

Which is later the night.

She kept her distance that may be torturing but she hopes to be worth of the answers she wanted to hear.

And with the tiredness from the continuous work was slowly being felt, she looked outside the window and just noticed how the sun was about to hide and darkness will soon envade her surroundings.

That's when she decided to pack her things and wait outside where's a certain someone's way to go home.

She can't talk to her when Yeji's about to enter her car so why not just make her step out of it. Without giving any choice.

Ryujin waited for a couple of hours, starting from the end time of working hours until late at night which she knew that the brunette haven't left.

She doesn't know when Yeji plans to go home but she's willing to wait any time.

And finally, at exactly midnight where no one was passing by and just the light post were the source of light, a car was heard coming closer from where the whiskered waits.

There she saw who drives the car and from then she knew how to make it stop.

She chose to stand still in the way of the car, blocking it just on time so Yeji won't be able to turn to the other side.

Eyes were tightly shut as she waited and her heart almost dropped by how close the car was to her body when she finally looked at it.

The headlight wasn't turned off that didn't allow her to see the brunette's reaction to her sudden appearance but as soon as it was turned off, her frantic heart immediately calms.
