Crimson Gold // ATEEZ

Chapter -8-

Yeosang's POV

She laughs and says,

"This place is already becoming so much better than my apartment, I get to go to sleep then wake up to food."

"Well, that's going to happen a lot now."

I smile at her, then leave her room.

Yeri's POV

I look around the room and sigh. I lay down and pull my phone out. I go to my contacts and dial 'Chan'" It rings for a bit and just when I think the call is about to end, he picks up.

"Hey, how've you been?"

He asks me softly,

"Eh, decent I guess... I met Yeosang."

The line goes silent for a minute until he says,

"Did you get to talk to him?"

"I guess I did."

"What do you mean you guess?"

"Well, first I got fired, then I went to a coffee shop and saw him working there. I- I saw Hongjoong come down the stairs and ran away. They caught me just to let me go, and then I-"

My voice drops to a whisper,

"I tried to jump into the Han River."

"Oh my god, are you okay? Why didn't you come to me?"

"I- It- it just hurt too much knowing that he was so close, yet so far. I also found out that Yiren is with him."

"Did you get to meet her? Is she okay? Most importantly, are you okay?"

"Well, after I jumped into the Han River, Hongjoong saw and called the police. He decided to take me in afterward, so now I live with his group, meaning I now live in a mansion with Yeosang and Yiren. So, I guess I'm okay."

He lets out a small laugh and says,

"Well, I guess the 'two Ys plus C' trio is back. Well, now it's the triple Y trio."

I laugh and reply with,

"Yeah, I guess. Ey, at least I was able to tell Yiren who I really am."

"That's amazing! Was she happy?"

I smile, recalling how happy Yiren was when I told her who I actually am.

"Yeah."

"That's great. Hey, Yeri?"

"Yeah?"

"Just remember that I'm always here for you, okay? Whenever you need to talk, I'm always one call away."

"Hmm. Actually, I was wondering if we could meet up soon?"

"Sure! That would be fun! Do you want me to pick you up or do you want to meet up somewhere?"

"You pick me up, I'm too lazy to find you in public."

He chuckles,

"Okay. Do I have to pick you up from a side door or something?"

"Oh, jeez, I didn't think of that. Umm, I'll send you the directions to this convenience store nearby."

"Okay, I'll come by tomorrow. What time do you want me to come?"

"2:30?"

"Okay, that's good with me."

"Nice. Well, I'm tired, so I'm gonna go to sleep."
