The second time happened the moment I made eye contact with her. I have never thought she was this violent and relentless. She was torturing me using her authority and anger she had for me.
What was I suppose to do?
"Argh!" I shielded myself away and tried to keep my distance from her, but she just kept coming to me. I couldn't retaliate, I couldn't do anything else.
I dropped to the floor when my legs gave way. I just wanted to run away, but I had little strength in me, probably due to the shock she left me with.
The door banged open and startled both Hana and I.
"YA!! Kang Hana!" A hard voice bellowed across the room. I looked up to see who arrived just in time to stop this nonsensical scene, to save the pathetic me.
It was Johnny, EXO's manager, and he hurriedly pulled Hana away from me, keeping a safe distance between us.
"Min-ah!" another voice roared through the room simultaneously.
"Let go of me! Oppa! Let go!" Hana screamed as she tried struggling out of Johnny.
Not long after, strong arms wrapped around me and Jongdae's comforting scent swarm towards me. Then I realized that it really was him.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Min-ah...I'm sorry, I really am..." He whispered softly as he enveloped me tighter in his arms.
"I'm okay." I choked.
I wasn't thinking of anything at the moment. I didn't have the energy to. I just know that I wanted to get myself out of there.
"Let's get out first, okay?" He suggested. Then gently with much of his support, he brought me back up to my feet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With care, he supported me by my elbows until we settled at a quiet lobby in the same building, both of us sitting together on the same sofa bench.
I hadn't spoken since then. I wouldn't look at him and I'm trying so hard to distract myself away from his presence. His presence was extremely attractive and comforting, but I didn't want to fall into that trap again.
"Thank you." I blurt out.
"Min-ah..."
"I think you should comfort Hana. She's quite...affected."
Don't look at him, Minzi.
"Johnny's there. She'll be alright. I wanna know about you."
"I'm okay. Really."
"Look at me and tell me that." He insisted.
I forced out a chuckle.
"I'm really...just tired, Jongdae-ssi."
"Minzi."
"Mm."
He leaned forward and cupped my cheeks with his warm two hands and directed me to look at him, eye to eye. I couldn't avoid that any longer, so he succeeded, of course.
"Now, tell me you're okay."
I couldn't lie saying that everything is okay when it's not. Not especially when he's in front of me, looking at me with those warm eyes. My insides are screaming to let him in, my safe haven.
That's precisely why I couldn't look at him. I couldn't pretend to act strong in this state.
I kept silent for a good ten seconds, wrestling with my inner self that was struggling to stay calm and cool.
