STAR - JAYHOON

14

I panicked because of Sunghoon, he acted that way for a while , and it never affected me more than making me a bit uncomfortable and made me want to punch him , probably strangle him . But it never felt threatening, it was just like a highschool kid trying to apply what they've learned from a trashy show on how to show your affection and still be charismatic, that type of things

But this time, looking at him crying so pathetically after seeing my firm answer to him , the way his eyes looked lost all the time, sparkling with tears and red from the agressive wiping, but immediately lit so brighty whenever they landed on me . His shaky hands reaching to me and placing so gently on my face , his look to me and everything was overwhelmingly sweet . But even then my heart wasn't at ease , and soon enough he flipped, his once soft touch turned harsher than a rock . I was back to the real world and started actually listening and understanding what he's been saying . My heart started racing in fear , I realized I have trusted him a little too much over the past months , naturally because i saw him so often .

But in front of me wasn't a highschool kid with no experience , nor a boy who's so in love he decided to do anything and everything. In front of me was a man who did whatever it took him to make me sit next to him, even if that meant breaking my legs

"you're the one for me , and there can't be anyone other than me for you "

His words sent a cold shiver down my spine , I felt everything even my bones tensing , he was scary .

But what was scarier is the fact I had a blooming feeling inside of me, being proud to pull such a gorgeous man so deeply in my love he no longer knew what's right and what's wrong . I was never that type of people, and I won't become one because of one breathtakingly beautiful man

I called the company I applied for earlier , agreed to their conditions without even reading them, I repacked a bag and went to tell Sunoo I'll be leaving in few days to sign the contract , and then I'll be back for him .

The few days passed , and I was in absolute fear that sunghoon might show up and mess up anything. He didn't, I went to the cafe again and took care of everything, and sunghoon's absence was more reliving than the thought of me finally leaving this trashy city and him

.......

I arrived to the company, had a very warm welcoming and I felt so comfortable with everyone there so quickly, I even got an early payment once I signed all the papers , and now I'm an official 8-16 employee.

I worked there for a month and so , sunoo was held back from following because of the lawsuit against the stalker . And no sunghoon was on sight, I convinced myself he just gave up after what happened last time we met , and as time passed , I found myself slowly forgetting about him, having only some paranoid thoughts and imaginations , but I can't be blamed .

I enjoyed my job for few months after that ,  I was given a promotion so fast, they said I was a fast learner and they needed someone to take care of the finances , but even that was easy, i quicky made good relations with others , my coworkers were all nice and very helpful , I quickly got a nice apartment and even had few flings here and there. I always thought of how pathetic I must've looked , fighting my whole life to avoid the thing i am enjoying the most now , yes work hours are quite tiring , but for the first time in my life i knew when I'm getting payed , when I'm getting off work and didn't have to worry about every single little thing .It was the boring routine I needed the most after all the stress i went through lately .

So in cnclusion, i enjoyed it, maybe a little too much , the company suddenly was under fire for money laundry, and every single employee was accused  of participating . Me being a part of finances team , definitely was going to get deeply involved

I sat facing the TV as I watched the news , the company was reported earlier and the proofs were found in the ceo's house . I was so close to getting in jail for literally nothing . Even if I was proven innocent, I'll have the whole investigation in my CV , and wether as an actor or a normal employee, that was a career ender

I started walking around the apartment nervously , trying to calm myself down , I closed my eyes and leaned on the wall with my head , my brain stopped working and I couldn't help but wanting to cry , I felt my eyes stinging and the voices in my head were getting louder , I had every possible scenario play in my mind all at once , I worried about my parents, my baby brother who'll be shamed by me , I thought of how I'm supposed to meet up with sunoo, heeseung and jake who trusted me and supported me until the end . I didn't know much about what was I doing and trusted older employees to guide me , and now I'm just a source of shame to everyone I knew . I felt so small and terrible, if sunoo was still my neighbor i would've gone and asked him to hug and council me , but here I am alone and on the edge of becoming a criminal

I felt arms wrap around my waist , a head place gently on my shoulder and a very relaxing yet memorable smell , Out of all the times and out of all the people i knew,  why did I have to imagine sunghoon here , in my most desprate moment . But I was feeling too unwell , even the ghost of a man I couldn't remember anything good about him , was a great source of comfort

The hug was tightening on me , and soon I realized it wasn't a ghost , THE park sunghoon was here , and he was insid my apartment

-"I missed you so much" i could hear his voice right in my ear , he was really here

-"What ! Sunghoon!!!" I jolted when the realization hit me

I watched him smile so widely, brighter than ever , eyes disappearing and cheeks going pink . Walk around my house and gather my things in a bag , he then grabbed my hand and tried to take me out of the house .. I felt so ashamed in front of him . I pulled my hand away and stood there

-"Hurry up we need to leave" he said holding back my hand

-"I can't go anywhere" I lowered my head "The police will be looking for me and I don't want to get in any troubles when they arrive and don't find me " i spoke in a very low voice , hoping he won't hear that , I was so ashamed of myself even in front of him

-"They won't" he said simply , trying to drag me out "You're not what they're looking for "

-"They will, I don't want any type of problems so I'll just wait for them "

Sunghoon dropped the bags , and I thought he actually started listening, but the next moment i was in his arms carried by him and smuggled out of the house , i felt my face burning from embarrassment so i kicked my feet trying to make him let go of me , but he didn't, he just laughed louder and louder "oh you're still so fun " he said

In a minute , I was in the passenger seat of Sunghoon's car, my bags in the back of the car , and I had no idea where was he driving us
