Chapter 3 - Sorry

☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

I was running late for work! I can't be late again or I'll lose my job. I quickly change into the required uniform for the convenience store that I worked at and bolted out my apartment door. Accidentally slamming the door and waking up my cat and dog in the process. Sorry.

In the elevator I couldn't stop bouncing up and down, worried of how late I would be. When the doors opened I ran out quickly and pushed the door leading to the outside world and made a break for the right and did not stop.

I did not bother paying attention to the beautiful lights of the city or the people as I ran as if I was on fire. I'm usually not late but my alarm didn't go off. TT

I only have a few blocks to run until I make it to my job. Come on (y/n)! You can make it on time!

I start panting as I tire out easily due to lack of exercise.

Hmph. This surely is enough exercise!

I slow down a little as I near my part time job and look at my watch. I nearly have a mental break down. I'm almost five minutes late!! Well you see I hate odd numbers so I was freaking out. Lol.

NO!!!

A sudden burst of energy had me almost Naruto running through the last stretch of sidewalk and of course into a person that was leaving the convenience store. My luck.

A weird noise leaves my mouth as I crash into their hard stomach. Ouch. What does this person do for a living?! Sit ups??

We nearly fall over but the person grabs me by the waist and steadies us both.

Awkward.

The person wouldn't let go for a moment. Gosh was I dizzy. Maybe they were too since I basically body slammed them. I'm surprised we didn't fall over.

I froze. The person's warmth was seeping through my coat and I could distinctly feel their large hand gripping me tightly. So it's a man! Along with my own hands holding his coat tightly and my head against his chest.

I blushed.

Oh no, I can't believe I crashed into someone. A man no less! I wanted to cry, but none of that girly!

He's so warm...

Stop it!

I looked up and saw him for the first time. Well, at least a part of him. He had his eyes closed probably due to the initial shock of something hitting you. Oops. The man had dark brown hair and pale yet lightly tanned skin. His face was partially covered with a black face mask but he still looked handsome-

NO! (y/n) don't you dare fall in love with a stranger!! This isn't a KDrama you know.

Snapping out of my rêverie I push his might I say -muscly- body away from mine. I bow low to him and basically squeal out,"I'm so sorry!! I didn't mean to run into you like that! Please forgive me."

His only response was a small,"Hmm." Must not be a talker, or maybe he was still surprised.

With that I stand straight and maneuver my way around him and went into the convenience store. My manager saw me and gave me a look. That look. Oh great.

My manager didn't say anything other than give me his look. All I could do was smile sheepishly and get to work checking our stock. This was going to be a long shift. I sigh.

I looked outside to see if just maybe that guy I ran into was still there. He wasn't.
