Catch Me (Eugene Lee Yang)

Ten

Eugene is unusually quiet today. Everyone can tell that something's been bothering him.

"Hey, Y/N." Ashly nudged you. "What happened to Eugene? He doesn't look like his normal self today."

"I don't know." You replied as you glanced his way.

"Go ask him what's bothering him."

"Okay." You stood up from your working area and walked towards Eugene.

"Eugene, do you wanna get something to eat? Or do you wanna get coffee? My treat." You smiled as you asked him.

He didn't say anything. He didn't even looked at you. He just totally ignored you. And it's something that you're not used to. Usually, he is the one who invites you for a cup of coffee. But now, he's acting really strange. Okay, you know now for sure that something is bothering him. You looked at him one more time. You stood there for like 5 minutes and still no response from him.

You retreated back to your area and told Ashly that something really is bothering him.

"Ash, I think he has a problem."

"Don't worry too much, Y/N. Eugene is one tough guy. I'm sure he'll be fine."

You sighed as you returned to work.

5:30 pm. It means work is done. You looked at Eugene as he stood up from his working area and headed towards the door. Still, nothing from him. Not even a glance  your way. Right now, you really were kinda concerned about him. You've debated with yourself on the thought of following him.

But then your feet had minds of their own. You just found yourself standing up and rushing to him. Eugene has long legs so it took you quite some time catching up.

"Eugene wait." You said as you paused to take in breaths. He stopped at his tracks. He turned around to look at you. His face deprived of any emotion.

"I know something's wrong. What's your problem?" You asked. Still, nothing. He began to walk away but you grabbed his arm. "You know you can tell me anything. Please, I don't want to see you like this."

"What's my problem, YOU. I don't want to see you. I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to have anything to do with you. I want you out of my life." He said as he removed your hand away from his arm. His words delivered a hard blow to your heart.

"What happened Eugene?! What have I done wrong? I don't understand you." You said as you felt tears brimming your eyes. You're trying your best not to cry. You swallowed to fight back the tears. You don't understand what's happening.

He replied nothing. He just walked away. Leaving you standing there. Broken. Then the tears came in. You don't know what you've done wrong. You watched him as he walked away. Then realization hit you. You love him. You just haven't admitted to yourself that in the short time you had spent together, your heart has learned to love him. Cause if you don't love him, you wouldn't be hurting like this. And the weather must have been feeling your pain because it began to rain.

You felt your clothes get soaked in water and your vision blurry. But you did something that must be really stupid. You ran to him. As you rushed towards him you kept on wiping your eyes but it doesn't help because tears just keep on falling out.

Because it's slippery and you really can't make things out of your blurry sight, you tripped over something. You weren't sure what it was but the pain it caused radiated through your knees. You dropped yourself on the floor. It surely hurts so bad. But the feeling cannot compare to the pain that your heart was feeling. Defeated, you just cried more. You can't remember feeling anything that comes close to the pain you were dealing with this time. You shivered as you felt cold envelope your body. You're not far from experiencing hypothermia, now.

Then you felt someone put a jacket around you. You looked up and there's Eugene. You just cried some more. He took a look at your wound. It wasn't a pretty sight. "I'm sorry, Y/N." He began to lift you up in his arms. You buried your face on his chest as you felt more hot tears.

A/N: Hope you liked it.
