My bladder had been acting up in Jeju, I blamed the hot weather for it. So I excused myself during the picnic on the beach and went to the ladies bathroom around the corner. It had seven stalls and a large sink at the left wall.
Bongcha was washing her hands at the sink on the farthest right and I halted in my tracks as I entered. The two of us didn't get along at all. Her eyes flashed to mine in the mirror and I couldn't ignore her. We had been kind of professional up until my fight with Jisoo. Even though I hadn't missed all the feisty looks she had continued to shoot my way when no one was watching.
She wouldn't fool me. I knew who she really was. This act was just an act.
"Hey, Bongcha," I tried to be polite. 'I saw you playing volleyball earlier. Are you and the guys winning against Nina's team?"
She didn't reply and walked to the towel disposal station.
I sighed and gave up. Walking to one of the stalls.
"Just leave him alone," she said.
"What?" I must not have heard that correctly.
"I know you and Gunwook text all the time. I know about your little inside jokes and stuff!" She put her hands on her waist and glared at me. "Leave us alone. Mind your own business and your seven hundred other groupies. Just stay away from me and my man and fuck off from meddling in our relationship!"
Something about her tone and her calling Gunwook her man, made the hairs on my arms stand up.
"Or?" I said because it sure as hell sounded like a threat.
"You will regret it!" She answered—definitely a threat.
"Don't threaten me, Bongcha. I'm not scared of you!" Anger was rising and rising. I was enraged a lot lately, and she was fucking with the wrong girl right now.
"And if you really knew him, you would know he doesn't listen to anyone. I don't control his actions."
"I don't want you to text him anymore. If I see another text, I'm going to make you regret it, Giovanna."
I stepped up to her and crossed my arms. "I don't like to be told what to do, and Gunwook is my friend. I have no interest in Gunwook anymore. Whatever happened between us is in the past."
"I saw him in those waves earlier, you know." She glowered. Eyes watering. "How he was only making sure you were safe. Making sure you were watching him do all those tricks. It's always you, always Gio this and Gio that. I don't think he even knew where I was or that I was even in the water at all!"
"That's a you problem, not a me problem," I sighed.
"There is something about you, Gio," She growled. "Something I'm sure is evil. Or you would just leave us be and let him be happy. As long as you're around him, he cannot love me fully. Leave us alone. Final warning!" She forcefully shouldered past me, and I fell back against the sink.
The words rummaged around in my brain for a while after. Because I felt evil enough these days about Lux and everything I was doing. Hannah had asked me for a report about the Jeju days later, and I would have to give her something. It was all a mess, and I felt sick.
