Fated To Love You

23rd string - Double Date

RIN’s POV

Today’s the day.

I have to attend to our ‘double date’ today even if I don’t want to. If not for that flirty woman, Yuri, I would have probably be enjoying today just by bonding with Henry. Just thinking about her, I suddenly wanted to just hit someone so I could release my anger.

But…

Why am I being angry at her?

It’s not even her fault that I’m feeling this way. In fact she’s the victim to our (me and Marcus) mini problem with the marrying thing. But then, at times, especially when I see her with him I feel like I just wanna rip her throat out. But then of course I’m not gonna do that in real life. I can’t just stain my name or my dignity.

Duh.

Let’s leave the dirty work in dirty hands.

I’m not the villain here…

Anyway.

Today, I wore a blue top with long sleeves and shorts since I’m not really in the mood to dress myself up. I tied my hair in a ponytail for the first time in a very long time now since I can’t find the reason to be pretty. Henry used to see me the way I am now before, so I guess he’d be all jolly to see the old ‘Rin’ in Korea.

I went outside my house to go to the bus stop for a ride going to our meeting place when a car stopped in front of me.

The person in the car opened the door and it happened to be him.

“What a bad luck.” I mumbled.

“Why don’t we go together?” Marcus asked me but I just crossed my arms and looked away.

“Okay. Got it.” He just said.

What?

And then I just suddenly felt myself being lifted. To my surprise, he has carried my in his arms yet again since he knew I wouldn’t even have hesitation in not taking his offer.

“Hey!” I shouted at him as he placed me in the passenger’s seat while he run to the other side to sit at the driver’s seat.

“Suit yourself.” He said and then smiled at me as he fixed his seatbelt.

“What the hell are you even doing… I’m going down your car to walk.” I said and then was about to go out of the car but then he grabbed my wrist with force.

“Hey. Don’t. I’m trying to help you get there fast so don’t think I’m m doing this to make you stay by my side.”

“But you know I’m still mad—“

“Yeah, I know. But can’t I just help you now? After this day, don’t worry, I’m not going to bother you anymore if you really hate me that much. I promise.” He said in a serious tone still holding my wrist.

Right. Better not appear in front of me after this.

And what he said actually made me rather sad than calm but then I just gave in. Anyway, this will be the last time we’ll be together.

“Just move your hand away from me.” I said and he actually took his hand of my wrist.

I heard him sigh deeply.

“Right…” He said and then he looked at me and he suddenly leaned closer.

“Hey.” I mumbled.

What is he trying to do now? How could he even try to kiss me at this place and at this situa—wait!

He leaned a little bit closer that almost made our faces touch but then he just reached something at my side and when he pulled it, it’s actually the seatbelt which he fixed for me.
