Don't Go

----Chapter 17----

"Here's your food" Mido placed the tray on the table and sat beside Chanyeol.

"Do you work here? I thought you moved to Japan to continue your career being an idol or something?" Baekhyun got his coffee of the tray and took a sip out of it.

"I did, I'm about to have my comeback in Japan, exciting right?!" Mido stole the piece of bread that Chanyeol was about to eat and took a bite out of it before returning it to Chanyeol. 

"Then why are you here and why did you serve our food?" asked Baekhyun.

"Well, I told you guys that my manager said that I'm going to meet my 'partner' here. Then I saw you guys and I asked the waiter of I can give the food to you...you know, to say hello. By the way...what about the two of you?" Mido said as she got Chanyeol's mug and took a sip.

"Will you just order your own coffee!" Chanyeol grabbed the mug from Mido as to which Mido just replied with a shrug and raised her hand to call the waiter. "So? What brings you here?" she asked again. 

"My manager also told me that I'll be meeting my partner here...I don't know what it is with our managers, pairing us with strangers." Chanyeol looked out the window and observed the tree outside.

"I know right!...oh, one coffee please....I mean, look what happened to Baek! Which reminds me, how's it going?" 

"Fine, I guess. I feel empty..." Baekhyun looked at his mug while swirling it around. "I tried giving Angeli a chance but....I can't"

"I feel you...No one can stand her! When Jo and I were still working for her, all of our co workers hated her, most of them were scared of her too, she might have her moments but...still, people find her scary...I actually praise myself for being the only person who can talk back to her...wow, it's so gloomy here" Mido leaned back and faced the ceiling. "I wish I had a time machine..."

"Me too" both Chanyeol and Baekhyun muttered. After a few minutes of silence, Mido's coffee came. She sat up straight and took her mug, blowing on it before drinking it.

Chanyeol was silently texting Baekhyun.

"Hey...what if Mido's the one I'm paired with?"

"Really?"

"Yeah, Look! Both our managers let us go here to meet our partners"

"So? It could just be a coincidence"

"Oh come on! Do you see any other girl? Were the only costumers here!"

"Maybe...just wait a little longer"

"Hey! What are you doing?" Mido asked Chanyeol who's head was bowed down while texting Baekhyun. "Are you texting your girlfriend?"

"W...What? No! Didn't I tell you I'll meet my partner here? for the first time?(and fingers crossed that it will be you)" 

"Oh yeah I forgot...mine too."

Mido's phone rang and she answered it. "Hello?"

After a few seconds Mido put down her phone and finished her coffee. "My manager said that my partner won't be able to come here, he said that he had a schedule...I'm off then, thanks for paying!" with that Mido stood up and went out of the coffee shop.

"Ouch" Baekhyun teased. "Told you..."

"Yeah whatever..."

 "Do you still have feelings for me?"

The air coming in from the wide windows was cool, the smell of cooking Bacon comes in as Jo's mom cooks. Zelo and Jo decided to play Question and Answer while waiting for their food. Jo was the first one to ask.

The question left a tense feeling for the both of them.

"It depends actually, there are a lot of feelings you know?" Zelo shyly answered."Anyway, just guess what feelings they are but my answer is yes."

"Are you mad at me?" 

"No"

"Do you...miss me?"

"Ask better ones, you know the answer to that already"

"Do you Like me?"

"Okay...before I answer that, let me ask my question first..."

"Okay, go"

"Do you still have feelings for Baekhyun?"

Jo wasn't able to answer him, and the answer was quite obvious too...Of course Jo hasn't gotten over him yet, Yes she still has feelings for him, 3 months is like 3 minutes for Jo. It would maybe take her years to get over him...but she's trying to move on, day by day.

Silence filled the room for several minutes, the scent of cooking bacon slowly fading away...

Zelo realized that what he said was quite rude of him, he held Jo's shoulder and apologized.

"I'm sorry for asking you that question...I guess...I'm impatient haha...I'm so sorry"

"No, no, it's fine Junhong..." Jo held his hand on her shoulder. "I hope our relationship wouldn't be awkward anymore..."

Zelo took his hand off her shoulder and stood up. "Me too..."

Suddenly, a flash came out from outside the window, followed by some noises.

Zelo ran to the window and saw 2 guys with cameras running away from the house. Good thing there was a fence around and they weren't able to get in. 

"No..." Zelo immediately closed the windows and pulled Jo to the kitchen where Jo's mom was cooking.

"He...Hey!!! Why? What's wrong?" 

"I'm so sorry Jo, I guess we can never have a normal relationship after all..." When they reached the kitchen, Jo took a seat in one of the chairs at the breakfast bar while Zelo called his group manager.

"Is there something wrong Junhong?" Jo's mom asked.

"Some photographers followed us because of me...I'm so sorry"

It was a quiet day when Alicia, the girl who drugged Jo, visited Angeli in her and Baekhyun's "room".

Angeli was relaxing. Watching tv while relaxing on the couch, checking her phone every now and then when she heard the doorbell of her room sound. She signaled the maid to answer the door.

"Miss Kim..."  someone greeted her. She sat up and gestured Alicia to go infront of her without looking back.

"It's Mrs. Byun now, darling." Alicia just nodded and stood straight in front of her. Her face was straight and serious, while Angeli looked bored. Before Alicia could speak, Angeli called her maid and asked her to leave the room. The maid went out immediately.

"Speak" Angeli took a sip from her glass that was located at the table in front of Alicia and her.

"Someone asked me about you...He also knows that I was the one who drugged  Mrs. Byun"

"What?! and FYI, I'M MRS. BYUN NOW GOT IT?! What did I tell you to do with the syringe?! Huh?!" She let go of the glass as if it was nothing.

"You told me to dispose of it and I did"

"Then tell me why THEY FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS YOU?! AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT EXACTLY?"

"I...I threw it at the garbage can..." Alicia's voice was stuttering, her brave face starting to fade as Angeli's voice gets louder.

"YOU WHAT?!" Angeli stood up.

"I th..threw it..." Alicia started backing up but immediately stopped when she saw who was behind Angeli.

"Angeli?.....Hey! You were the nurse that we saw when Jo got...." 

Angeli turned around and saw his husband standing behind her.

"What is she doing here? You KNOW her?!"
