"When Opposites Collide"

CHAP 51

Another day had passed and it was our time to leave the island.

I haven't seen Tae, tzyu said he was avoiding me which is understandable. If it was me, I would've done the same.

"So, I'm going with Tae, are you..." It was tzyu trying to see my mood.

"I'll go with jennie." I told her.

It will be awkward if I go with them going back to the city and Jennie suggested I go with her instead of me riding with the others on the company shuttle.

"Figures."

We both packed our bags silently.
I know tzyu is not picking sides and it may seem that she was caught in the middle but she is not.

I've been meaning to speak to Tae but like I said, he was avoiding me. Maybe when we are back in the office, I can corner him in his office.

And tzyu knows that, that I was trying to reach out, I called, texted him, but no response, so I decided to give him space and time.

"So, I'll see you when we get back?" Tzyu already had her bag on her and was ready to go.

"Yeah..." I sat on my bed. "Tzyu, keep him company, don't sleep. It's a long drive and... Just, just don't sleep, ok?"

"Yes, Mom!" Tzu chuckled.

I am genuinely worried as Tae tends to feel sleepy driving alone.

"I'm not kidding, tzyu. You know Tae and text me when you arrive in the city."

"I know, I know. What time are you leaving?"

"Jennie is just finishing something up, she'll pick me up here once she is done."

Tzyu nodded and bid her final goodbye.
Almost an hour later when I heard a knock on my door, and even before I could go and open it, Jennie's smiling face greeted me.

"I'm so sorry, it took longer than I expected." She said apologetically, she sat beside me and gave me a side hug.
I smiled at the gesture.

"It's fine. You okay?" Her face was on my shoulder so I had to lean down a bit to see her beautiful face.

"Just tired, but fine." She forced to smile.

"Let's go?"

As we waited in the lobby for the car, I scanned the area, nobody from our company was left here in the hotel, the shuttle left an hour ago so it was just the two of us.

Jennie was sitting beside me, her fingers intertwined with mine. How I wish we could be like this all the time.

"Jennie?"

"Yeah?"

"Are we official?"

"What do you mean?" Jennie looked at me with her brows furrowed.

"I mean, can we be like this all the time?" I lift up a little bit our hands pointing it out to her.

"You mean in the office"

"I'm thinking everywhere." I let out a soft laugh.

"Yeah, I mean, I'm fine with that,
are you?" Jennie said casually.
