Tied to a Dino (My Sly Fox Sequel)

Chptr 19: Just Resemblances [PART 1]

A message came to Yerin's phone that morning. She glared at her phone, being irritated to her own message alert tone, and also hesitating to check who was the one who sent her a text message. She ended up reaching for it on the bedside table as she was still lying on her bed because it's weekend and she has no work.

BABO DINO<3

That was what registered on her phone screen as the one who sent the text. She hesitated to open it but she can't ignore him completely so she slowly touched the message icon and read the message.

I already told Sodam noona about Minki.

She bit her lip after reading it. It was just a short message but still heartbreaking. Just then, before she closed her inbox, another text came... from the same sender.

They're meeting him today.

She managed to smile a little, though pain is eating her whole soul that moment. She was glad that Jonghyun is doing the right thing, taking his responsibilities as Minki's father. It was what she wanted in the first place, that's why she let him go. She decided to type a reply.

Good for you. That's right.

She finished typing and sent it. She wasn't really expecting for a reply because she believed that they already settled everything yesterday but then, another message from him came. It's longer than the past messages.

I'm doing what you want but I can't be happy. We don't have to be like this. I know what I said yesterday was a selfish idea but can't we do it for ourselves? I'll do my best to make it work. I promise. I love you so much.

Her vision became misty again but she doesn't think tears will still be coming out. She cried it all out already last night and her still sore and red eyes are the proof. She just hoped that her tears already dried out because she's seriously being tired. She then typed a reply again.

We already talked yesterday and it's final. We can't be selfish at this point. Enough now. please.

She sent it and sighed deep. She wished it was just about 'making it work' because she knows, whatever happens and whatever their situation is, it will work because they both love each other. But that wasn't the concern. It was that they have more to consider now, and more people are involved, meaning, one wrong decision, all those people will be hurt and that's the least she wants.

Another message came.

I'm still not letting you go though...

Yerin wanted to be happy on what she read, her heart actually beat fast but she stopped herself. Jonghyun is being on his stubborn self again. She already thought that there can be a possibility for this to happen so she is the one who has to act.

Enough.

She sent that simple text and placed her phone back on the bedside table again. Her message tone rang a few more times but she just ignored it. They would just keep arguing pointlessly because he won't surely listen to her.
