Thin Line Between You & Me

Chapter ten: Regret is letting you leave

Hanni

My eyes widened once I realized what I had done, but I couldn't let her see that. Minji stood frozen on her spot as she looked at me with surprise. "Don't ever touch me again! I don't want you to be anywhere near me." I pushed her once more, my heart racing once Minji's eyes filled with tears. I didn't know what to feel or what to even do. Minji was just there, staring at me as if I had just crushed her. "Hanni...I'm..." I didn't even let her finish speaking when my body reacted, slapping her again. I was mad, furious if anything. How could she have done that?

"Minji, get out!" I yelled which caused Minji to flinch. She shook her head at me and came closer to me again. In her eyes it was clear that she meant no harm, but what were these actions and words she was saying? She just confessed to me, my boss, my one true friend in this world. I just couldn't believe it. What went so wrong for Minji to manage to feel something for me, and not one of those models that she had history with. I didn't want her to love me, because it'll only hurt her. I'm happy now with Yuta. I'll never see her as anything more than just my friend that I truly appreciate.

"Hanni, please don't leave." The way her voice pleaded made my heart squeeze. Tears swelled in my own eyes as Minji's eyes became sad as they looked at me. I bit my lip as I shook my head at her, I walked past her bumping in to her shoulder harshly. "I'm out of here." I said and I could hear Minji behind me calling out for me. "Hanni, not with him. Please." She said and I snapped my head to look at her. I pointed a finger at her chest as I spoke. "He might've done what he did, but he never kissed me against my will." I watched her face drop.

"I'm sorry! Please, just don't go. You're going to kill me." The way Minji spoke made something in me stir and I just wanted to get myself together. I was loosing my own composure just by looking at Minji like this. "I made a mistake, I know. But please, don't punish me like this." What was she saying? "Punish? Minji, are you listening to yourself? Were nothing more than just friends, you're acting as if I were to be breaking up with you." I said and Minji shut her eyes as she looked away from. "Hanni, this is all new to me, please understand me." I shook my head at her as I turned back around and tried to head to the elevator. I needed some air, and needed to get out of here before things escalated.

"Hanni!" She called out for me and I seemed to have had enough by now. I turned around and spoke without thinking. "Leave me the fuck alone, Minji. You crossed the fucking line, and don't expect me to be happy with you about that. How could you do such thing?! Are you stupid, Minji? I don't even want to see or hear you right now. I just want to be far away as possible from you. I don't even want to come back here ever again. You just ruined everything between us for some stupid feelings. Why couldn't you keep them to yourself?!" At this point there was no stopping my mouth.

"And you dare to tell me not to leave. You don't have any power over me, Minji. And because of that, I'm quitting at the company, I don't want to ever associate myself with you ever again. You just ruined everything between us, bravo!" I pointed out my sarcasm with a couple of claps. Minji stood there, feet away from me. Eyes filled with tears. And I didn't want to admit that they tugged at my heart but it only made me angrier. "Now what? Are you just going to stand there? Can I be honest? I fucking hate you right now, you overstepped every boundary that I had set. You disrespected the sole fact that I'm already in a relationship, and you kissed me without my consent. I hope you realize the mistake you just made, because you lost me." When I said the last four words, Minji's eyes widened as she made an expression of hurt.

"I just don't want you to get hurt..." I threw her a glare as I spoke again. "Yeah sure, you just want me to get hurt so you can take advantage of it and have me all for yourself. You're so disgustingly selfish. Maybe the Minji I met has never left." Minji looked like she was about to breakdown. But she deserves worse for kissing me. "I fucking hate you." Maybe I was being too harsh, or maybe not. But my heart kept squeezing seeing Minji just standing there. Not saying anything back. Her mouth seemed to be glued shut.
