To The Crushes ▬ Na Jaemin

41- Fresh start

Chaewon used the napkins that were in the bathroom to clean herself up, "I knew I shouldn't have come to this stupid party" she mumbled to herself trying her best to get rid of the alcohol on her dress. 

Her trace of thought was suddenly ruined when someone knocked on the door, "Someone's here," she yelled from the bathroom, but the person kept knocking on the door. 

Chaewon aggressively through her napkin in the trash bin and opened the door, "Are you deaf?" She said without even looking at the person in front of her as she walked past them.

The person turned around instantly when she passed him, reaching out to grab her wrist.

Chaewon grunted when she felt someone pulling her back into the bathroom, and she stumbled on the wall. Her head hit the wall and she took a glance at the person's hands who were holding her wrist, slowly looking up to see him. 

She yanked her wrist away. 

Jaemin got a hold of her forearm. 

Chaewon turned towards him, a very annoyed brazen face plastered on her face, "What the hell Jaemin, what do you want?" 

"We need to talk."

"I don't feel like talking."

"No, you just don't want to listen."

"I have to go look for Sana," Chaewon replied simply. 

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, revealing a girl who had approached the situation.

The girl nervously laughed, "Whoops," She closed the door faster than the flash could run.

Chaewon widened her eyes alarmed, she released her arms from Jaemin and shoved him away hard on his chest.

She swiftly turned around and left the bathroom. Her heart was pounding, her head was light, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest. 

Pushing through people, Jaemin tried to reach her. And once she got stuck in the crowd of people dancing, he grabbed her wrist once again and pulled her to him. 

Chaewon let out another grunt and tried to push herself away from Jaemin, "What?"

He pulled her into a closet and locked the door, the only light that was working was an old light bulb that was buzzing and almost fading away completely.

The closet was small, it seemed more like a storage room with old boxes in the corner. The shelves were filled with old objects that were from the owner of the house, the closet smelled old. There was dust on the shelves and the wooden floors. 

"Jaemin, stop it," she said with a stern voice, "Didn't I make it clear that I wanted nothing to do with you?" 

"Chae, listen to me. You need to hear me out," Jaemin said, "And in order for me to do that you need to shut up and stay still." 

"I don't want to listen to you, I don't want to listen to none of your nonsense!" She said trying to get out of his grip. 

"Chae, listen-"

"No, let me go"

"Just listen to me."

"Someone is waiting for me, let me go." 

"Who the hell is so important that you need to go to them right now?" Jaemin sighed. 

"Haechan." Chaewon pressed on. 

Jaemin's eyebrows knitted in confusion, "My friend? Donghyuck? Why would he be waiting for you?" 

"He just is okay? Now let me go."
