DESIGNER | LUCAS

sixteen | here again

"lately people told me i've changed a bit.
they say i don't easily smile and i always look tired.
even without me telling you,
i hoped you would acknowledge it first."
- lately i, saero

the boy that jane ended up bumping into looked a few inches down, and immediately looked away, stepped back, and sighed.

"what are the odds.." lucas said quietly, but loud enough for her to hear.

"what are you doing here?" jane said coldly.

"you don't know me, right? so don't ask me why i'm here. we're complete strangers, right?"

"oh, you're really going to hold that against me?"

"i'm not holding against you, i'm simply applying what you said into my everyday life."

"i only said that because i applied what YOU said to me into my everyday life. when you told me you didn't love me? that you never did? i'm trying to FORGET you, lucas."

"then forget me. no one asked you to remember me."

"do you hear yourself, lucas? what kind of- are you serious?! how can i forget you when you broke my heart? after all those years of being together, you threw it in the trash. every single bit, and you just cut me off like i didn't have any feelings. i was torn, lucas. you had no remorse. you didn't even TRY to care."

"loo-"

"no, i don't care! just g-"

"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HALF THE STORY! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I TOLD YOU THAT! YOU ACTUALLY THINK I DIDN'T LOVE YOU? WELL TRUTH IS, DID AND I STILL DO. BUT YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME."

little did they know, someone had followed and was listening.

lucas walked passed her full of anger and pain. as his steps increased, he slowly became calmer, knowing that he had to talk with the people at the top of ader error.

"wong lucas! welcome to the clothing company where we are proud to call it ader error! i'm miss park, and it's a pleasure to have you model for us."

"thank you for this opportunity, miss park.."

"it's nothing, you're someone that has all the qualifications to be a model. so, we have new clothes that have been designed by an employee here called jane ong, and we want you to model for it. in four weeks we'll be attending fashion week in japan, and we want you to walk the runway with the designs."

"jane ong? her designs?"

"yes, jane ong. is there a, uh, problem, mr wong?"

"o-oh, not at all.."

"good. she will be coming because she's the designer, of course. so you should, i don't know, get to know her!"
