Is all of this a coincidence? I hope I never meet her brother. I do not want him to recognize me when Soohin announces our relationship in public. 

I am at home right now, and I did not even get a chance to speak with Soohin today. Should I message her again? No, she might find me irritating. I have already messaged her six times. What if she is in soms trouble? Fuck Kim Taehyung why are you so negative?

I should probably just go to bed. 

I never realize how quickly the dawn arrives. As I wake up, I realize I have been sleeping in the improper posture, and my damaged arm hurts much more. Should I ask for a day off? Hell no, they will probably fire me. Last month, I took four days off because I was sick. So there is no possibility. 

I get ready for work. However, it took me a few more minutes than usual because of the bandage over my arm. I open my phone, expecting to get a message from her, but there is no answer. She seems to be quite busy. I do not have to bother her; she will message me when she is free.

After entering the office building, I noticed her with a female colleague. She doesn’t appear to notice me. I make my way to my seat as she leaves with her. What's with this behavior? Is she avoiding me on purpose? I will talk to her during lunch. 

"Mr. Kim are you alright? "What happened to your arm?" - Lina, one of my juniors, questions me.

"Yes. "I am ok, it was only a little accident."

"Thank God, you are fine. I thought something serious happend."

"No, Nothing serious. Thanks for asking."  - She smiles and nods before returning to her desk.

It is noon, and as soon as I notice Soohin, I start following her.
She is on her way to the cafeteria.   She pauses for a moment as I grasp her hand.

"Tae? Do you need something?"
She asks gently, as if she has not done anything.

"Why are you ignoring me?" "Did I accidently do anything wrong?" I question her as he pulls her hand away from me and gives me a forceful smile. 

"People are looking at us, Taehyung!"

"Do you really think I care? Soohin, you have not responded to my messages, and I have wanted to speak with you since yesterday morning."

"Let's talk later. I don't feel like talking right now"

She walked away before I could say anything. All right, fine if she does not want to speak with me. I will not bother her either. 

I observe her exiting the workplace with a few of her friends as soon as I leave the building. She gives me the impression that she is done with me.

I let out a long breath. I believe a couple beers will help my foggy thinking.

As I sit down in the bar, I can smell the strong aroma of alcohol. I hate how loud this place is. I thought few drinks will be fine. But I quickly lost track of how many drinks I had just consumed.

Moments later, I have the impression that someone is approaching me from the crowd. I think I know this face. Before I could figure it out, everything went black. The last words I heard were

"You are still clueless."
