Park Jimin understood the expression on her face all too well. The proximity between their faces gave him a clear view of the look in her eyes. He could practically see the gears turning in her head as she started overthinking.

"Look at me." He ordered, not wanting her to jump to conclusions anymore.

She refused to listen and dared to look away from him, making a loud "Hmph!"

His eyes narrowed when he saw how stubborn and childish she was behaving.

"There is a limit to my patience." He warned her, despite the fact that his brain was screaming at him for saying something so foolish. Was there a limit to his patience? Yes. But was there a limit when it came to this daring girl in front of him? There was none.

A simple rejection like this was enough to cause a sharp stabbing pain to spread in his chest. But regardless of his frustration, the overwhelming affection he had for her was enough to suppress his anger.

The moment she had stepped foot in his office, it seemed that the sleepless night he had endured with her running through his mind had vanished. It was then that he realized just how much of a tight grip she had on his heart.

"I don't care about your stupid patience. Let me out!" She demanded, refusing to meet his gaze. She gasped when he suddenly slammed his palm against the door while his other hand harshly grabbed her chin to hold her in place.

"That hurt!" She half-lied, purposely making him feel bad. It worked and he immediately loosened his grip.

"I hurt you? Let me see." He roughly asked her, but the glacier in his eyes had slightly thawed out. He wanted to rub his thumb over the chin he was holding, but she pulled away from him.

"Why do you care?" She stubbornly replied, deliberately pressing all of his buttons. She knew she was being incredibly irrational right now, childish even, but she was still hurt from the familiar scene she had just witnessed. It made her not care about the consequences anymore.

At her bratty tone and words, the glacier in his eyes got even colder. His free hand gripped her arm tightly this time, causing her to wince.

Park Jimin stared down at her, analyzing her guarded face. "Why are you so angry today?"

"I'm not angry." She glared back at him like he was the at the top of her kill-list.

"I didn't think you'd be the type to hurriedly jump to conclusions. It's as if everything I have done is not enough for you to trust me." His voice was filled with disdain towards her, each syllable digging into her heart.

He thought back to the photographs he had gotten this morning of Lee Ha Jun and Song Areum together. He is aware that the paparazzi purposely manipulate the way they take photos, but the smile she had on her face directed towards some other man had driven away his rationality. While he had been agonizing over her words, she had the gall to be wrapped around in another man's clothing!

"Why do I always have to be the one to chase after you?" He voiced his thoughts out in a whisper only she could hear. He was angry at their circumstances which caused him to lose control of his temper.

She rapidly blinked at his words that were like a slap to her face. Her heartbeat started racing and an ache was building up in her chest.

"Then don't chase after me! You should've just left me on the ground of the banquet! You should've just let me faint on the ground and walked away when you had the chance! You should have gone home instead of staying the night with me!"

He looked at her, crestfallen that she would even think something like that.

"Is that what you truly think I should've done? Do you think I would've been foolish enough to let a woman like you slip out of my fingers?" He released her as if he was tired of the chase, as if he was ready to give up on her right then and there.
