Casting Grey

Chapter 9

"Hey you, follow me and I will tell you where the coffee machine is and how it works. Urghh, why does sajangnim keep hiring interns and firing them in the end. Don't worry, you wouldn't last that long my dear 'cause he would just find something random to blame you for and poof, you would be fired instantly," Chae said with a flourish of her hand and I grimaced as she clearly does not know who she is talking to. 

"Anyways, don't expect to get close to me, don't try to flirt with me. Many interns tried to flirt with me and you look like the smart yet flirtatious type, so don't you even dream of landing your hands on me because I'm already taken." She rolled her eyes and proceeded to make a cup of latte for herself. Taken, yes she was clearly taken after 2 and a half years, probably getting a replacement after her ex-boyfriend left her for 2 and a half years ago. Chaerin has finally moved on, and I am happy for her, but there was just an unsettling feeling at the bottom of my heart and I was unable to detect that strange but uncomfortable feeling rooted deep inside my heart. 

"Excuse me? Hello mister?" she swiped her hands in front of my face to gain my attention. 

"You haven't told me your name yet, and you look somewhat familiar. Wait shhhh.. don't tell me your name just yet, let me guess." she placed a finger on my lips and our skin touched, that familiar spark faintly glowed, then faded again.

"Were you once a pervert who tried to grope my arse? Were you that dick who tried to steal my Chanel clutch? Were you the paparazzi who told the whole world that my ex-boyfriend of a dick kwon jiyong cheated on me? Oops you weren't s'pose to know I guess, but oh well he was a douche bag and nevertheless, I don't give a fuck to any guys out there who wanna fuck  with me anymore after that dramatic episode, and Arren is just a pawn to keep me from going to that dick of a G-Dragon. He thinks he is so great isn't he? Well, he isn't gonna get me back with his god damn filthy money now that he has disappeared from the surface of the earth with sajangnim being all sappy and dramatic cooing, ooh I wish ji yong was here, if only ji yong was here... ," I am sorry sajangnim,  I am sorry Chaerin, for making all of you suffer without my presence, and Chaerin ah, I know you still love me and I still love you as well... 

"Hang on... you aren't that familiar and appealing after all. you should get your filthy moustache shaved and your face lacks makeup. Have you taken drugs before? How many tattoos do you have? Who are you?" she asked tons of questions and I was having a headache. Should I reveal my identity to her?

"Look here miss, I don't get what you were saying and your past history with your ex isn't my business to be exact but if you need a listening ear I would be here for you, and I am just a normal intern with bad family situations, not an arse who wants to suck you up for your money." I replied curtly and sent her a grim smile, so she would not recognize the smile i gave her 2 and a half years ago. 

"Fine! If you want it that way, then so be it. I tried being all nice and courteous towards you but it seems you are just a pathetic hot-headed jerk who doesn't know how to please your superior." She tuts in annoyance before giving me a tight slap on the cheek.

"Chaerin ah, are you still there?" I whispered to myself, I needed that Chaerin I knew before to come back.
