Millionaire's Sons

Love Is A Strong Word

Casey's POV:

I quickly ran into my room, slammed the door & locked the door. Tears started flowing down my cheeks as I slide to the floor with my back leaning on the door. I pulled my legs together & bury my face in my legs.

The next day, I woke up & realised that I slept in front of the door last night. I slowly got up & went into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror & saw that I was in a mess. My eyes were puffy & my nose was red like Ruldoph.

I have finally made up my mind. I'm leaving. I have the money from my first pay. It's more than enough to make a living.

I quickly packed my bag & ran downstairs without making any noise. But as soon as my hand reached the doorknob to the main door, someone grabbed my arm, preventing me from leaving.

"Where are you going with that bag?" Jimin asked while looking at me deeply in the eyes. His eyes were a little watery.

"Somewhere. Somewhere far away from you." I said with anger but my voice was wavering. I forcefully pulled my arm from his grasp.

"If it's about last night, I'm sorry. Couples fight. Don't they?"

"They do. But I'm sick of it! Ever since we got back together, I was walking on eggshells around you. I didn't want to lose you. But last night was when I had enough of this!" I turned & swung the door wide open. I quickly walked out of the house & waited for the taxi I called a while ago.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. Sounded like someone was running towards me. But I didn't look back.

"Don't go! Please! I love you!" Jimin shouted in desperation while giving me a back hug. That was when the taxi arrived in front of me. The taxi driver got out of the car & helped me put my bag in the trunk.

"Love is strong word. Don't use it so easily like that." I said blankly & forced my way out of his grasp once again & quickly got into the taxi. Before Jimin could open the door, I locked it & told the driver to drive off.

I turned around & saw Jimin chasing the taxi but soon gave up.

"Was that your boyfriend?" The driver asked while looking at me through the rear mirror.

"No. I don't know him." I said bitterly with a straight face & looked out the window.

I planned to stay in a motel near school. I didn't want to spend so much on renting an apartment as it's quite expensive & far from the school. The neighbourhood is not the safest but I can live with it as long as I stay alert. It has dark alleys where bad guys hang out & the streetlights are very dim.

Today's Saturday. So I have time to unpack my stuff & go grocery shopping. Maybe I'll even clean the room a little & find a part time job that has flexible working hours since I'm still a student & I don't have enough money to support myself.

As I was strolling along the dairy products section, my trolley bumped into someone else's. I looked up and saw Namjoon.

"Hey, Case! What are you doing here?" He asked with a smile on his face, showing the dimples again.

"Grocery shopping. Then what would you do in a supermarket?" I asked sarcastically. I was totally not in the mood to talk to anyone I know.

"Ouh, sassy. Why so sarcastic? Any problems at the house? I'll always be there for you to lean on & talk about your problems."

"No thank you." I then pushed my trolley around him & get back to my grocery shopping.

I ended up buying a lot of stuff. As I was struggling to carry all the heavy plastic bags. Someone appeared beside me.
