And To Be Convicted

01

It's already midnight, the street is darkened, and less people are seen on the street. It's late yet you just finished your shift after working for 8 hours straight in the nearest convenient store close to your rented apartment.

You turn around once you're already at the other edge of the dark alley. You started taking your steps. When you're suddenly startled after the door opens and a drunk man comes out. It's not new, this alley is the back door of a club so it's normal for you as you're always taking this shortcut on your way home.

You didn't mind them and started talking on your way home. As you're almost at the end of the alley you saw how two couples arguing. loud skin slapping were heard. It's not what your dirty mind thoughts, those skin slapping noises were truly slaps on the face.

You saw how she slapped him once while he returned it to her twice. The woman held both of her cheeks after his palm slapped her. He punched the wall beside her and you saw how she covered her face, even though you're a little far from them you could still feel the fear she's feeling. He pushed her on the wall and walked away after k'ssing her aggressively.

You saw how she tried to stop him but couldn't. He's a strong man, it's visible from his large figure compared to her.  Just then you've noticed how you watch the whole thing happening while stopping on your trunk. You shook your head. You're not trying to mind other people's business were you.

You started walking again and decided to ignore them when you suddenly bump on someone, your eyes meet his, those dark odds stare deeply into your soul. You're out of words you're only focusing in those eyes that you didn't even mind looking at his face only in his eyes.

He rolled his eyes and walked away. Your eyes followed his figure and saw him enter the back door of the club. You sigh and continue walking when someone suddenly pulls your hand. You're about to scream and push the hand of the one who's grabbing you when you noticed it was the girl earlier with the man you just bumped on.

"How much do you want?" She asked you. You're taken aback by her suddenly question. What is she talking about? Does she want to pay for your b'dy? Did she think you work at the club? You thought to yourself.

"Excuse me?" You said staring at her in confusion. She finally let go of you and looked at you in the eyes, dried tears were visible on her cheek because it ruined her make up. It made it earlier for you to identify that she cried.

"How much do you need for you to help me get rid of you?" She asked again. You chuckles and turn around leaving her alone. You're not in the mood to waste your time on her, you're tired after working for long hours standing and won't waste your time hearing bullsh!t from anyone right now.

"A thousand dollars, is that enough for you?" She shouted. Now that attract your interest. You turn around and says "Couple thousand dollars" you said making her think for awhile and gave you a nod.

You entered one of the most higher paid university in the country. Dream come true but damn you're not here to study, you're here for business. She started pulling your hand and walked past room per room till she stopped in front of one door. You saw how she sighed and turned to look at you. Handing you a piece of paper and signaling you to enter the room.

Twisting it open and slowly walk inside when she suddenly closes the door behind you. You tried opening it but it was clearly locked outside.

You look around the room and saw someone sitting Infront of the piano. You thought he's the same guy from last night that you've seen with her, clearing your throat and started walking towards him with full of confidence written in your face when you suddenly stopped after he turn around.

Round glasses. Innocent eyes, two bunny teeth were shown, did you entered the wrong room? You asked yourself. "Oh I thought you're Solen" he said. You saw how disappointed he looks after seeing you. Did you truly entered the wrong room?. Wait you don't even know the girls name.

You gulp and sat beside him. He looked at you in confusion and pushed you a little. "That's Solen's spot." He claims. You sigh and put the pieces of paper Infront of him. The music room pin in silence. You felt the atmosphere changes. You felt his sadness. Looking at the pieces of paper and find out she's breaking up with him through you.

Y/n's POV

What the heck is she choosing to be with the man last night then being with his guy who absolutely looked so clueless about her cheating on him?
I don't know what to do. I immediately stood up after realizing I'm putting myself in the middle of couple squarels.

As I slowly begin to take steps away I suddenly heard sobbing, turning around as my eyes meet his round shallow reddish eyes looking at me. Feeling guilt I ran to him and embrace him. How did i get myself into this situation.

"What did I do wrong?" i heard him asked me that question. I didn't know how to answer him so instead I pulled him more closer and let him borrow my shoulder to cry on. How can she do that to him. He has innocent soul.

"You don't deserve her." This felt so wrong. I'm taking money from the girl who hurts him yet I'm here comforting him after delivering the letter about her wanting to break up with him.

I didn't notice that it has been an hour of him crying in my shoulder. I felt my eyes closing. Feeling tired probably lack of sleep. I rest my head on the piano board while tapping his back till I fell asleep.

I woke up and find no one else in the room but me and a jacket around mu shoulder. I immediately stood up and walked out of the room as I was walking at the corridor I started hearing voices. More like a begging voice and at some point I actually did recognize the voice.

I peek my head through the bathroom door and found the man at the music room on his knees begging the girl from last night to not break up with him. I turn around not wanting to interfere with them again when she suddenly walke out and saw me. She grabbed something out of her bag and hand me a envelope before walking away. I look back at the guy who seems to not notice what happened as his back is facing me. I sigh and walked away leaving him all alone.

The man cries on the bathroom floor after his first heart break. He couldn't figure out what did he do to deserve it  but soon his head hurts screaming in pain while holding his head. His eyes changed his lips turned into smirk.

He stood up and look at himself in the mirror laughing after seeing his pathetic face. Wiping his tears away and chuckles "I told you, just let me take control. Look at them, taking advantage of you." He said to himself while looking at the mirror. "Let me handle this body alright."
