Coffee Shop Boy || Choi Seungcheol

20

Seungcheol knocked on Kijung's apartment door, no answer. he tried two more times, with no reply again. Seungcheol got the spare key out of his pocket, luckily he brought it with him. he unlocked the door and waltzed inside. it was dark. all the lights were off and it was silent. but, he spotted her phone on the kitchen bench, it's blue light illuminating the room.

well, she's home at least. he thought to himself. he made his way to her bedroom door, he thought she might've been sleeping then.

Kijung sat up a little bit, she woke herself up. she was having a bad dream, she gasped and just sat looking around her dark bedroom, the light from the open window shining in. she flinched, hearing her bedroom door click, meaning it was being opened. a tall dark figure stood in the door way, she gasped again and covered her face a little with her blanket. the shadow started walking closer, and closer.

"NOOOO!!!" she screeched, "NO MORE !! please, please no more !!! please," she screamed, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed, holding onto her blankets for dear life.

Seungcheol came closer to her, quicker this time. he wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly, "Kijung? what's wrong?! shhhhh, it's okay," he stroked her hair as he tried to calm her down.

"no, please stop. I don't want anymore, please stop," she sobbed even more, frightened that the man broke into her apartment and was going to attack her again. that's what her bad dream was about, she thought it was actually real.

"Kijung, it's okay! it's Seungcheol, okay? shhhhh," he rocked the two of them back and forth like his girlfriend was a baby going to sleep, he continued to stroke her hair and held her close to his chest, protecting her.

Kijung couldn't stop crying, she now knew that it was Seungcheol holding her, but she had the fright of her life. because Seungcheol is also tall, it reminded her of the man. her room was dark, too, so it reminded her of the alleyway and her horrible nightmare.

"hey, what's wrong? what happened baby? why are you crying? did you have a bad dream?" Seungcheol tried to get to the bottom of why Kijung was so upset, but she just kept on crying.

after 5 more minutes of Kijung wetting Seungcheol's tshirt and him being patient, she wiped her tears and put one arm around Seungcheol's waist. they both sat in the dark, Seungcheol stopped rocking and just stroked her head, he listened carefully to everything she said.

"t-tonight... c-coming home from work.... the alleyw-way... a man g-got me," as she said that, Seungcheol shuddered, his grip slightly tightening around Kijung.

Kijung sniffed, "he was on the b-bus and he was just looking at me... and when I was walking home from work... he f-found me and grabbed me.... he took me into an alleyway and he..." she sniffed again, she stiffened up just thinking about what happened to her.

"he, ah... he touched me... he kissed me.... he touched me in places I haven't been t-touched before..." she started to tear up again, taking hold of Seungcheol's tshirt.
"and then he th-threw me to the ground and left... I q-quickly walked home and sh-showered and got into bed. I had a bad dream about it, I dreamt that he found me... I thought he was you in the door way, and that's why I was yelling at you... I'm sorry," she cried again, quietly this time.

Seungcheol was shocked. he too, felt like crying. he couldn't believe something like that happened to HIS girlfriend, she was violated! and he couldn't do anything about it. that's what killed him the most: he couldn't do anything to prevent it.

"Kijung," Seungcheol gulped, "I'm so sorry that something like that happened to you. I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I'm sorry that I scared you, you just didn't open the door so I used the spare key. I'll bring the food in and I'll turn the light on, okay?" he kissed Kijung's forehead and got up from her bed, running out into the kitchen and grabbing the plastic bag of snacks and drinks, hurrying back into the bedroom and switching the light on.

Kijung was sitting on top of the blankets this time, sniffing as she stared down at the ground.
"I'm sorry, I look terrible," she giggled slightly. Seungcheol reassured her, "you look fine, babe," he came over and sat back on the bed, sitting across from Kijung with his legs crossed, facing her.

he looked at her legs and arms, she had scratches all over her. he traced her arm with his finger, "did he do this to you?" his voice monotone, he was angry. all on her inner thighs and forearms, her shoulders too.

"oh, ah, no... I did that, actually," Kijung replied, she didn't realise she would have scratched herself that badly. Seungcheol looked up, looking her in the eyes.
"why did you do that, babe? don't hurt yourself," he said softly, feeling worried.

"I had a shower and I felt really g-gross so... I washed. I didn't want him on my skin..." a single year fell onto her leg where Seungcheol was looking. he reached up with both hands and wiped her cheeks, removing the new and old tears. he stopped and held her face, he looked at her for a while before speaking up, "I'll look after you, okay?" Kijung nodded, smiling a little. Seungcheol gave her a light kiss and started getting some snacks out of the bag.

"okay now, what do you want first? ice-cream or chocolate?" he smiled and winked at Kijung.
she thought about it for a while, "hmmm, ice-cream!" she replied.

"I'll be back in 2 minutes!" Seungcheol said happily as he ran out to the kitchen to prepare two big bowls of ice-cream.

...

the couple spent hours watching movies and videos on Kijung's laptop, they ate all the food and drank the drink that Seungcheol bought: chocolate milk.

Seungcheol checked the time on his phone, "woah! Kijung, it's 1:45am," he chuckled and sat up onto his knees. the pair were laying on their stomachs on top of the bed covers.

"really?!... whoops," she giggled. she had a big smile on her face and sat back up onto her knees as well.
"I guess we just lost track of time," she smiled again, going to turn off her laptop.

it happened again. they lost track of time. they forgot about everything around them except for each other.

Seungcheol smiled lovingly at her, admiring her pretty face when she wasn't looking.
"hey babe,"
"hmm?"
"do you feel better now?" he asked as he rubbed her bent back, rubbing circles with his large hand.

she looked up after she shut down her laptop. she smiled at him, "I do. I feel much much better," she leant over and embraced her boyfriend, "thank you Seungcheol, I'm glad that you came here," she looked up and kissed his cheek.

luckily Seungcheol dressed comfortably: he wore his black sweatpants and a black tshirt. he jumped up from the bed, removing his tshirt and turning off the bedroom light. he ran back and jumped back onto the bed, making the mattress springs make a distressed noise. the couple giggled and got under the covers, holding each other tight as they drifted off to sleep.
