Once Again

IV

"let me see the outfit lay-outs for each exo members please." Suran asked for the portfolio i was holding and i handed it to her. "so you're telling me that he's pretending that he doesn't know you? or is he just plain ignoring you?"

what Suran said just made me think of it to. why is he being like that? what is he up to?

"i don't know, gosh this is driving me crazy, why does he have to keep being like that? he's starting to be obvious. if he keeps acting like that, i bet the others will know about us and our past in no time." I slumped on the couch in Suran's office. I looked up at her when she giggled.

"i like these, good job. they'll look good in these." she said raising my portfolio. "you know what, you have to be careful Ji eun, he must be playing games with you. you have to keep yourself guarded, always." she said with a playful smirk plastered on her pretty face.

"what do you mean playing games? keep myself guarded? from him? but why?" i'm still so lost and confused and i just keep on blurting nonsense to Suran like she's some sort of fortune teller.

"gosh how would i know? i don't know him much. besides, i am not his ex, you are. you know him better than most people do. and when i said he's playing games with you, how he acted yesterday seems like he's up to something. That's why you have to keep yourself, or your heart rather, guarded and safe." with what Suran said, i completely lost it. like my mind just blasted and the world just suddenly stopped moving.

"i can't take this anymore, Suran. it has only been a day since i signed the contract and i feel like i'm losing it."

"Come on Ji eun, it's moments like this that best calls for some chicken and beer and some ktv. Let's go, your treat, let's go." Suran whined as she pulled me up from slumping on the couch. I guess she's right, i have to reward myself with something good like chicken and beer. i deserve dozens of chicken and a bucket of beer and a lot of singing.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Suran and i finished 6 orders of chicken and a lot of beer, it's embarrassing, and it's only 8 in the evening but it looks like we're done for this day. Suran can't drive anymore so i dropped her off at her apartment and as much as i want to go home and take a cozy bath i still had to come by my office and run some errands for tomorrow's schedule with exo.

"oh gosh miss Ji eun, are you drunk?" Chae Yong quicly held my arms as i stepped out of the elevator. i put my pointy finger on my lips and hushed her.

"i'm not drunk, just a bit buzzed." I heard her mumble something under her breath but i didn't understand what she said.

"Oh no, what happened to her?!" Beauty exclaimed and quickly approached us and help me get to my office.

"I'm not drunk." i muttered as they make me sit on the couch.

"oh sure you're not drunk, look you're even wearing mismatched shoes." Beauty pointed at my shoes, which really are mismatched, the other pair must be Suran's.

"Her have some water miss Ji eun, to help you sober up." I gladly took the water bottle from Chae Yong and emptied it up in one gulp.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

"Miss Ji eun, wake up. it's almost 10." i woke up to Chae Yong holding a bouquet of flowers this time its some stargazers.

"are these flowers for me again?" I stood up in excitement, i must have sobered because of my long nap.

"yes miss, this must be a daily thing now. the sender still doesn't want to reveal himself and yes the delivery guy said the sender is a male." i looked at the stargazers and still had no idea who sent it to me. but i decided to brush it off and just appreciate them.
