Aria
It was a disaster. Why did I do that? Why, why?
I have a problem where I never think twice before doing anything, so yeah, I am not good at making decisions. But the fact is, I am never going to accept that.
I don't know what was going through my mind when I heard Yuki saying those disrespectful things. And what about the smell he was talking about?
Was he referring to the way I smell?
Do I smell that bad?
He could have told me to leave if he didn't want me there. I would have left that place right away, but no, he had to show me how pitiful and disgusting he thinks I am. And that's hurtful. I don't know why, but somehow it's hurting somewhere in my heart. Even if he is a jerk, he was still there for me every time I needed someone. If he doesn't like me being there, I am never going back again. Never, not in this life."Ma'am, can I help you?" A girl with blond hair and a nice hourglass figure, so pale that her cheeks and nose have turned almost red. She must have dyed her hair blond since it does not match her natural color.
"Mam?" she called out to me again.
"Ah, umm," I cleared my throat.
She appeared out of nowhere.
"No, thank you," I said.
"You've been sitting here too long without ordering anything. Would you mind if I bring you a cup of coffee?" she asked sweetly.
She is such a nice person. But every now and then, I see nice people around me and suddenly start to feel bad. I don't even deserve to be treated this well by people here. I am just a stupid girl from India who lost her passport, and now the kind guy also kicked me out. I literally have no idea where I am going to stay tonight without a roof over my head. And this is making me really, really sad. I am crying in front of a very pretty waitress.
"Mam, oh, I'm so sorry. Did I say something wrong?" she said in worry.
"No," I said quietly.
Someone called her, and she handed me a tissue and went inside. I am still crying; these tears won't stop. It's been so long since I cried like this. I don't know how long I was holding them back.She returned with a pink crop top and a cream-colored tight skirt.
She sat in front of me and placed two cups of coffee in front of me.
"My shift is over and I'm not going to treat you like a customer anymore. Now tell me what's wrong, you definitely don't look Korean at all," she said. She sounded more confident this time.
I looked at her through my teary eyes.
"Why did you come here?" she asked, folding her hands.
"He kicked me out," I sobbed loudly.
Her posture straightened.
"Oh my! I knew it, I knew it from the start," she shouted.
"namjaneun gaeda !" she shouted again. I gave her a confused look.
Her nostrils expanded in anger, making her even redder.
"I mean men are dogs, dogs," she corrected herself to me.
"It's not his fault," I said.
"I know you're going to say that. Listen to me, girl, you're not the first girl I've encountered in the same situation. A lot of girls come here in search of love and end up heartbroken or cheated on. All men are the same, whether they're from Mars or from Korea.
They blind innocent foreign girls in their love and then..."
"It's not..." I try to tell her the truth.
"I know, that's what they do, show like it is a misunderstanding or a mistake. But they are just clear froad people's. Oh my god look at you, how innocent you are, poor girl."
I looked at myself and yes, I cannot Denny that I am looking pitiful right now.My nose is runny and eyes are swelling from crying and I literally got no time to even change so yeah, I am pitiful right now. No offence.
"You speak very fluent English." I said wiping my tears.
"Yess,well I am major in English."
"That's great." I finally smiled a little bit.
"You look so smart to get scammed by these people's." She again started it.
"No, you get me wrong."But at the same time the door swing open and both of us looked that way.
"Aria." Yuki called my name. And walked toward me as fast as he can.He is panting real bad. As if he ran a marathon. But soon I realise he ran this far just for me. Don't know where and which hotels, alleya,places he'd go just to find me.
"Just listen to me ok..." He said when that girl stopped him midway, coming in between him and me.
"Just stay away from her you froad." She shouted.
Both of them looked at eachother for a while.
"Wait wait, Yuki Miyazaki?" She shouted. Her tone was normally so high that even she speak it sounds as if she's shouting.
Yuki's eyes widened.
"Na-eun chan?" He said quietly but in surprising way.
"Don't call me that." She shouted for real this time.
She scoff a slight laugh and fold her hands over her chest, putting her guard off.
"Even bullying was fine but this, now you started to froad foreign innocent girls." She said.
"Bullying? Did she just said bullying?" I must've heard wrong.
"Yes, bully. Yuki Miyazaki is the biggest bully I've ever encountered in my life."
I glanced at Yuki to say something,that she's wrong. She must've misunderstood him. The Yuki I know would never bully a single person on this earth.
Yuki looked at me and then at the ground.
"I never thought I would ever see your horrifying face.and I wished for it too.but here you are. Standing in front of me and froading a foreigner."
Yuki still hasn't responded yet.
"Where'd you even learn that? blinding innocent girls in your froad love." She shouted.
It's almost 11 but still it's seoul there are people here who are watching us but this girl definitely doesn't care about it.
"Froad love?" Yuki finally spoke.
"In high school,you treated girls around you like an allergy. And now look you are froading them by the name of love, gosh, you've really grown up." Her brows furrow in anger.
Yuki closed his eyes and sigh and he went towards me.
"Let's go." He said quietly. I looked at him. He was genuinely asking me to come with him.
"And what made you think she would?" Na eun said.
Yuki is still looking at me.
"Because I want her so bad, to be at home more than anything right now." He still staring at me.I can see on his face that how sorry he is.
"I don't want to be burden at anyone, anymore. Sorry For bothering you." I said and went out from the cafe walking as fast as I can so he won't follow me but he still ran after me.
And grabbed my arm from behind pulling me towards him.
"Don't act like a fool, where are you going to stay?" He asked, worry all over his face.
"It's not your problem anymore, and well you should be thankful that I am not your problem anymore." I said.
"I called a cab, wanna come?" Na eun asked me to put her phone in her purse.
I glanced at him for the last time. And he was still grabbing in my arms.
"Bye." I said and he finally released me.
I went to Na eun.
"It'll be fine." She pat my shoulder.
The cab arrived and she opened the door for me.
"Aria." Yuki called for me quietly. He still has hopes that I would stay. But I can't be there after what he said.I still have some Shane left. . I sat in the cab. But he was still there not even moving an inch.
Our cab moved and as I looked back from the mirror,he was still there looking at the cab.
