Starting With You. /S.Coups x Reader/

53. Ashamed Of Me And You.

Taerin's Pov.

"Even your friends were shocked hearing the Dispatch." More and more people had been able to walk by.

"Can't you just leave.?" I folded my arms, getting weirdly uncomfortable.

"If not?" She took a step back. I once again said nothing. "We want to keep you company, you know! Your date probably stood you up." She laughed with her friends.

"Keep your mouth shut. He's on his way." I believed for a moment..But time came and it just became 4pm.

"Sure..Where is he now?" She then asked. I started to doubt myself..I was being mocked and it only raised my temper increasingly.

"I get it..!" I pushed them away as they acted they were my friends, leaning on my shoulder. "I get it! Just leave!" I clenched my fists, feeling the need to cry.

"Pfft. Why should we?!" She nodded at her friend and her friend threw the drink at me. People were still wandering by, but still shocked at their actions. Bullying was a common thing in Korea. "Now we'll leave." She laughed along with her group as they walked off with pride.

I glanced at my outfit that was now stained with a spot from the drink they threw at me. Why did this happen..?

S.Coups' Pov.

I fixed my outfit whilst walking and rushed out. It was 3:45pm..I should've bought the gift beforehand..I didn't know I could be this unorganized.

I hoped she was just waiting. I headed to the main street of stores and immediately went looking for a jewellery store. It took me a good 15 minutes after exploring.

I wore my mask and hat whilst wandering around so no fans would notice me..hopefully. Luckily I already planned which bracelet to buy her.

She already had one from my brother..but I want my bracelet to be the only one around her right wrist. I slapped myself, not wanting to have such weird ideas.

I bought it, holding the bag in my hand. I reached in for my phone and noticed it was gone. "Where did I put my phone?.." But..I left it at home.

I groaned, annoyed at myself, taking another 10 minutes to reach back home. "Damn it..!" I also left my keys inside. I spammed the doorbell and Seungmin didn't answer at all. I could hear Kkuma barking though. "HYUNG!" I yelled.

The door creaked open but my impatience slammed the door open. "Where's my phone?!" I searched around, not seeing the sight of a phone in the living room.

"I was taking a good sleep..What the hell.." He yawned but that was the least of my problems right now.

"WHERE'S. MY. PHONE?!" I was getting stressed out from everything going wrong.

"Jeez. Here. Get out!" He shoved me out with my phone and I began running afain. I was practically sweating at this point..Running back and forth. It had already almost hit 4pm..I was panicking more and more. I switched on my phone with chaos, the bag rumbling in my hands.

"10 percent?!" I gritted my teeth. I saw the multiple missed calls from Taerin and I felt so guilty for my chaos. "Come on..Pick up!" I took the bus over to our desired place. I wondered why she wasn't picking up at all.

All my messages were sent but she wasn't on her phone. Did she go home?

I glanced out of the window, just hoping this ride would be quicker.

4:04pm.

I sprinted, crossing the street and saw the restaurant. "Taerin.." I couldn't see her due to the crowds in front of me but then something caught my eye.

Taerin's Pov.

"Taerin..!?" My head lifted at the voice of that man. My tears swelled up my eyes. I was disappointed, upset..angered at this guy who ran towards me. "Why is your outfit wet?!" He checked up on me but I slapped his hand away.

"Why now..?!" I sobbed out, and he stared at me with confusion. "Why did you have to come now?! I waited here for a whole hour..! WAITING FOR YOU!"
I kept on ranting. "If you didn't want to go out- Why didn't you say so?!" I covered my mouth.

"What- What happened?!" He was out of breath entirely.

"You made me look like a fool. You fucking stood me up Seungcheol. And you come straight after I've just been humilated. What a coincidence.?!" I scoffed, not handling my waterfalls of tears.

"No-! I really was late..Look!" He reached for something in his bag but I shook my head.

"I'm too ashamed of myself and you to talk." I gazed away, taking a walk away. "I don't think we should contact eachother for a while." I hesitated for a bit, saying it but I didn't want to just act like nothing happened. "I'm sorry." I muttered under my breath.

I slowly placed the back of my hand over my mouth, starting to break out. I wandered off, crying with pain along my shoulders. I looked like a mess, felt like a mess and most importantly.. disappointed Seungcheol.

Why did I have to give him a cold shoulder for something he didn't do..? Why did I take it out on him? He takes care of me well..

"I'm so stupid.." I groaned, wiping my nose. Why did I cry so ugly? It almost made me want to laugh. I just went off to go back to the home and just sleep through it.

Nari and Jimun weren't at home. I remembered that they said they were going out to visit their aunt for the night. They trusted me with the keys and everything.

But..Aside from that..How would I text him again? I'm sure I must've hurt him. "I'm such an idiot!" I grabbed my hair, pulling on it desperately. "I'm sorry.." I felt the need to cry as I sobbed back into my knees, sitting in my room.
