Engaged With The School's Playboy | Kai [COMPLETED]

Chapter 21 - Her Guilt and His Care

I cried day and night.

I fainted from fatigue trying to find Jong In.

I know he's not dead.

He's alive.

I chose to believe that he is alive and doing well without anyone knowing.

I know he wants to run away from me, but I want him to come back.

I want to turn back time to the day I signed the form to break off the engagement.

Why am I suddenly flooded with guilt? I chose to. I agreed to.

But why am I regretting it?

-----

I slowly walked into the convenience store to get some snacks to binge on. I was choosing my favourite snack when I felt someone behind me.

I hastily turned around and almost bumped into someone. "Sorry." I muttered, not caring if the person could even hear me or not.

I walked to the cashier to pay for my snacks and quickly walked off. I still felt like someone was behind me, and when I turned around, the same guy was there, walking casually. I was getting creeped out. I practically jogged back to the apartment.

Just as I closed the gate, the man appeared on the outside. I took a few steps back. I quickly got into the lift and went up to my apartment. I shut the door and made sure it was locked.

I'm being paranoid but it was for the best, for my safety. His figure looked eerily familiar when I saw him outside just now. The way he walked, the way he put his hands in his pockets, it's just all too familiar.

Kim Jong In.

I looked outside the window just to see him leaving. He then got into a car parked nearby and it drove off.

No. It can't be him. He's dead!

"You're hallucinating. Yea just some random thoughts! Get yourself together Park Min Jung!" I smacked myself on the face a few times to make sure I was still sane. I settled down infront of the TV and munched on the snacks I bought earlier on.

One question.

Why do I love him so much despite not knowing him much?

His POV

It seems like she recognised me somewhat somehow. I know I was a creep, following her from the store back to the gate of her apartment.

It was just to ensure that she was safely home.

"If you really want to be with her, then why are you doing this, hiding from society?" Kyungsoo slammed the steering wheel in frustration.

"I want to escape Mother's grasp. She'll set me up on another arranged marriage and I don't want that. All the freaking time she was the one who chose what I do, what I eat, what I learn. No freedom. I'd rather stay hidden than see that lady's face." I was now annoyed at where this was going. It was always the big issue whenever Kyungsoo and I are alone. I would always be stubborn and mark my stand.

"I'm never going back home. I want to go back to Minjung." I said with a firm tone.
