When I Grow Up (Seventeen Jeonghan x CLC Seunghee)

Twenty Eight: When Losing You Means Losing Me

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

An uproar circulates around town. An accident just occurred at the business center. A bus and a truck rammed together damaging a couple of cars by the nearby mall's parking area. Police officers contain the situation accordingly. A couple of by-standers are also injured based on hearsays.

It worries Seunghee. Jeonghan has been in that mall for a while now and he's supposed to be coming back any moment. But because she's concerned, she thinks that it's taking him too long. She thinks twice and thinks again, feeling really disturbed and agitated. Then she decides to go out and check on him herself. He better be okay, she tells herself.

She walks down the street calmly at first. She's still a little mad at him but she thinks otherwise. Maybe she's going over the top. She's being unfair. She better trust him even more. He says he will not do it again right? And besides, it's inevitable. Someday, in some way, she'll definitely give in to him. She knows because she loves him. But right now, she's just not ready.

Anger thrown aside, she feels really anxious now. Jun's accident was enough. He better not be involved in that accident. She might breakdown if something serious has happened to him. She's almost running now, not really looking forward. All she cares about is to see him well and safe.

Not thinking straight, she bumps into someone. The impact has made her fall into the ground, scratching her hand. The person she clashes into is holding some groceries but still standing on his feet.

"Seunghee, are you alright? Why were you running?" he says putting down what he's holding and reaching out his hand to her.

It's Jeonghan. Seunghee looks up to him teary-eyed. She's so relieved. She's so thankful, she feels like kissing him but she bolts up fast and hugs him tightly instead. Jeonghan is surprised of her sudden gesture.

"I was so worried about you. Thank goodness you're okay," she exclaims.

"Why? What happened?" he is clueless as to why she's acting this way.

She faces him and tells him, "There was an accident at the center earlier. I was anxious you got caught up in it. You are so late coming back so I felt really worried. I almost died of heart attack. Why are you so late anyway?"

"I was looking for this cucumber and it was out of stock at the mart so I went to other stores. Why don't you come with me next time? It's such a hassle searching for these stuffs," he answers so casually, smiling at her.

She wipes her tears and stares tenderly at him.

"I was at the other mall when the accident happened at the center. It was a mess, a couple of cars were caught in it and a couple of bystanders were injured too. Though it's been contained by the authorities now."

"Why didn't you even call me? I was worried sick." she pouts at him.

"You were mad at me right? I thought you wouldn't take my call. And why didn't you call me, instead of running straight to the scene? It's chaotic there right now," he tells her.

She frowns at him. She never thought of calling him.

"Let's just go home," she walks away trying to hide her embarrassment.

He chuckles at her. She's even harder to contain than the commotion that occurred at the center. But it's nice to know that she's not mad anymore. He's concerned they won't be able to enjoy their stay because of her mood.

He follows her and puts his arm around her shoulders.

"What do you want to do later huh?" he asks.
