Players [HIATUS]

Chapter 5 : Rose

You took a glance toward Yixing after reading the message. You decided to just walk to the cafe as you don't want to burden the man anymore. When Yixing drops you infront of the apartment building, you thank him wholeheartedly while smiling softly. He helps to unbuckle your seatbelt before softly murmuring an apologise repeatedly due to his cousins' behaviour.

"It is okay, oppa. It is not your fault.", you assured him. Well, it is true. It is not his fault that the males had to immaturely fighting infront of you.

"As the oldest, I should teach them well. I'm sorry again that you have to see that. Take care and don't catch a cold, okay?", Yixing advised. His sweet deep dimple somehow makes you feel comfortable around him. He is warm and kind, totally the opposite with Jongin.

You bid a farewell when his car leaves the area. With a long sigh, you start to move your ass to the cafe. A message from him, no doubt, it makes your heart fluttered but he is different. He hides himself from you after confessing, do you think it is normal? So many questions you want ask him as soon as you meet him.

'Why you left?' , 'Why you act as a jerk before?', 'Why you distanced yourself from me?' and the most important is, 'Do you still love me?' . That. That question is what you want to ask him the most. Cause, you're still in love with him, yeah, no matter how much you want to deny that feeling, it won't vanish. It won't.. until you know what's he had been hiding. But you're sure, eventhough he is an assasin or a thief, you'd still love him equally.

"Welcome ! Seat for one person?", the waitress with a cute smile asked you when you entered the café that looks more like a restaurant. She is smiling sweetly toward you and waits for an answer. You smile back, acting as polite as she is while your heart is thumping faster inside as the thought of meeting Jongin is nearer.

"I'm here with a friend. Can you please check if he is already here or not?", you reply back with a question.

"May I know his name?", she checks the screen as you murmur Jongin's name slowly. Split a second, she looks at you again.

"He is at the table number 2. Your boyfriend?", the girl joked, wanting to have a good conversation but her sincere words just breaking your heart more.

"I guess so.", with a swift movement, you left the counter to head to the mentioned table. There's a lot of people inside but you managed to find it and you're shocked to see the male's face. There are red bruises all over his perfect face and you can see he is hardly trying to curve a smile when he caught your stare.

"I'm okay. Atleast my face is still handsome and it looks pretty cool though with bruises.", with a lopsided grin, he jokes.

"Cool my ass. Who did this?". You concernly touch his chin as you settle down infront of the latter. He stares your hand before giving it a hold. You let out a nervous gasp when he strokes your finger.

"I miss this.", he closes his eyes as he mutters the words. You lean back, pulling your hand along. He glares at you, feeling dumbfounded and you know, this is your chance to ask him.

"Why you act as 'Kai' before?". Boom, question number 1.

"You don't need to know.", he replies, leaning back as well with crossed arms. His stare shows pain as he tries to hold himself together inside.

"Then, what am I to you!?", you groan madly and throws your arms on the air due to the frustation.

"You're my everything. Trust me.", he pleads, trying to hold your arms again. "No, don't touch me.". Tears stream down your cheeks as you weakly tried to avoid his contact .
