Someone Like You

Chapter Nine

"Then you know Taehyung." He said, staring right into my soul. I gulped and nodded. "Stay away from him if you want your memories back." A smirk crept on his face. "You wouldn't want to see him hurt now, do you?"

He said it so simple and it left me speechless. "How do you-"

Suho interrupted me. "Ujin." I quickly look over at him as he called me. He hurried towards me and smiled at the man. "Do you need anything sir?"

The old man smiled back. "No, I just thought her name was interesting." He slowly raised the cup to his lips and carefully drank it.

"Have a nice day." I said as I bowed once again. I followed Suho to the counter, unable to recall anything on what just had happen.

Suho looked back at me, and he tapped on my shoulder. "Are you okay?"

I stood there for a while until Suho tapped my shoulder. "Are you ok?" He asked. I quickly look at him and nodded, assuring him with a smile.

"I have to use the ladies' room." I quickly said. "I'll be back." I took off my apron and took my time walking to the bathroom.

I looked at myself for a long time, as little phrases came in my head. I tried shaking them off my head but then, nothing happened. I closed my eyes as the words go through my mind.

"Stay away from my son!"

The voice was way too familiar to the old man from before. Opening my eyes again, I carefully observed myself. Is he Taehyung's dad?

The longer I looked at my self imagine, the more I felt lost. I was already tearing. "Why are you crying?" I asked myself, wiping the minimum tears that was left on my cheeks.

Once I cleaned myself up, I headed out again and the old man was gone. I went and searched for Suho, but he was busy ordering for a small group that just came in.

It was already 9:00 when Suho started to put up the chairs. "Oh, let me help." I said, hurrying over to him and help.

"It's fine." He said as he put up the chair. "You should head home, it's already nine." I frowned at his reply. He raised his eyebrows at my reaction. "You've worked hard."

"You've been helping me a lot today." I finally said. "I think I should reply you some respect." I gave him a warm smile before lifting up another chair.

"It's alright, you can help tomorrow." He said and patted my head. "Goodbye." He said, making sure I understood him.

I sighed. "Alright." I said and took of my apron. "See you later." I waved at him before opening the door. Once he waved back, I exited the door and smiled to myself.

I walked myself to the nearest bus stop and hopped on. The bus was quieter at night than day since people were busier during the day. The girl by at the back of the bus caught my attention, and I cursed at myself.

Ari had her earbuds in and was sleeping soundly. I quickly went to the seat that was two rows before her and sat down. Pulling out my earbuds, I quickly turned up the music, hoping it would ease me.
