The Fairytale Of a Sinner

Chapter-8; The date of Dr. Alyssa

The 'blackberry night' was named after night for a reason. It was decorated in darkness with mild lightnings. Sphere shaped lamps were like a full moon on dark night. The mild music was sensual at its best.

Calming and soothing atmosphere of my surrounding went bright pink when my eyes landed on the familiar figure, just behind my table.

I could hear nothing but silence, for the moment. Jimin tilted his head at me, giving me a slow, panicking smile. Panicking that I caught him. Kat and Tara turned to give me a thumbs up. These rats-

I facepalmed turning my attention back to shawn, with a forced smile.

"Are you okay? Is everything okay?" He raised his eyebrows looking here and there. I realised the sudden unsettling state of mine, could be seen.

"It is. It's Just, I'm- I feel a bit suffocated in here."

"It's rooftop, Alyssa." He says, with a question mark on his face. Patiently waiting to hear the reason of my panicking state.

I put on a smile, with all I had. "I think we should get a drink. What do you say?" He nodded, not intending to pressurise me further.

"What can I get for this lovely couple?" A sweet voice interfered our conversation, I turned my head to look at this guy with a dairy in his hands. Did he said that?

"Two fresh margaritas. And, um?-

"I guess it's a first date." The waiter chimed in, with a smile and a suggestion. "You should order the blackberry night' special. It's made for the first date, when you both don't know what you're partner likes or not."

Shawn immediately went for it, and I interrupted, "Shawn, um, atleast take a look at the menu. I mean, its quite expensive for the dinner of two."

His eyes travelled between me and the server and he told me it's okay, no problem it being expensive. The server left with the order, and a certain targeting smile at me.

"It's an unreasonable amount. You know, they always try to get the pockets empty of new couples here."

He laughed softly. "I really don't mind, I mean it's worth it. Leave it."

"You don't really spend a lot, right?"
"Not really. I don't have any habits that might need me to spend frantically."

"Habits? How do you enjoy your vacations?"
"Trips with friends either my mom, I don't really fancy solo trips. How about you?"

"I spend my time on hills, or maybe anything fun&adventurous, like trekking."

He sounds like a out going person.

"Why do you wanna marry?"
"Is that even a question."

The sudden attitude in his voice had me raise my eyebrows. For a moment i look past him, watching jimin, who immediately started looking everywhere but me.

"Just kidding. You're beautiful, I'm young and willing to marry. You're an asian, I heard they are good housewives-

"Don't come at me with that bullshit."

"You really can't take a joke huh!?" He laughed, "My parents want me to get married soon. That's it."

"What's the longest you've been in a relationship?" "I've been in a relationship twice. Once was a highschool love, and second my secretary, Leia. I was in a relationship of eight years, with her."

"Why didn't you marry her?"

"It didn't cross my mind sooner. And we fell apart."

"Eight years of relationship and the thought to put a ring on her finger didn't cross your mind? Understandable." I huffed in annoyance. Eight years of Fucking relationship-

"What about your past?"

"Never Been in a relationship." I told him what truth was.

Girls kindergarten. Girls elementary school. A co-educational group i joined for highschool, that too I had to leave after getting bullied. Girls medical. Girls hostel, and only girls. How do I stay in a relationship?

Why am I not lesbian? Would have blown the roof of my house if I ever told anything like this to my parents.

"Now you're the one bullshitting!" Yeah. Yeah, I'm..

"I wasn't in a relationship. It was complicated. Like one sided love kinda thing, for three years."

"He missed his Chances," that's where you're wrong. If I'm beautiful, he is Etheral. Holy Heavens. Have you seen him? He would have anyone he wants. Anyone.

I laughed it off, pretending to take the compliment well. Instead of blabbering about how handsome is the man I love, with all my heart.

"Do you still love him?" "no" "Better, I don't want a divided heart."

Who would want a divided heart? But it's not my fault that i loved him..I can forget him. I hope I do.

"thankyou!" he said, gratefully to the waitresses who were decorating our table with dishes and their attractive serving styles.

My phone buzzed. I take a look to see 'JJK- Downtown' flashing on my screen. It was rare, or maybe a second or third time in three years. That he called me.

And my Anxiety messed me up, I hurriedly answered the call, "Jeon. Is everything alright?" I didn't let him speak, my mind had went numb, with my body trembling inside. Is Taehyung alright?

"Everything? Duh! Not really babe. But Taehyung got into an accident," he again spoke up, when I went dead silent in the other side. "hey- hey don't you dare pass out. We need a doctor immediately."

"Admit him to the nearest hospital, clinic .. any help available. Wait- Where are you?" My collected composure betrayed the inner me, that wanted to scream, out loud. Taehyung.

"Admit him? Nah. We don't want to answer any questions related to the injury, can you be here?" Yeah. I wanna. "Where are you?

"KV Residency, Villa no. 4114. If you get stuck anywhere, I'm always available for you." I hung up with a hmm, looking straight at shawn. He was sitting, resting his back, staring at me already.

"Is everything alright? I mean, it didn't sound like it."

"my friend got into an accident, I need to leave immediately."

"what?" he didn't expected that. "How- I mean, um, is it important for you to leave?" and i didn't expected this.

"what do you mean?" i ask with my face scrunched in disgust, at him. How much can a person be selfish enough to think about his date? When I just told him that my friend got into an accident.

"There are other doctors at the casualty, they must have a family, are you needed there? The dinner just got served."

I took my bag without giving him any response, walking out of the rooftop. Avoiding the other three pairs of eyes lingering to my walking figure.

"is it the house of that Lawyer‽" my uncle asked immediately, when I told him to drive me to the VK residency of West City. And maps told me it was a residential area reserved for Lawyers and government officers only.

"He got into an accident and needs a doctor. Please, take me there."

"i can't. Your know what kind of a person he is, he is a murderer-"

"and i will hurt myself if I don't see him." I bursted out, I knew he will do anything for me, "why don't you understand? he's hurt. And i need to see him! Please. Please uncle, just this one time. I anyway won't see him after my marriage."
