Working with my Ex HS sweetheart

4-"Elevators"

Sandara's POV

My eyes wide, I quickly pull Jiyong away as he threw the cellphone to the ground near the guy. I look into Jiyong's eyes and all I can see is rage. "What the hell Jiyong?" I say loudly. I flinch and look down when his intense eyes peels to me. I feel his deep breathing and his chest heaving up and down.

"What the hell? That guy fucking took pictures of you Dara! I kept noticing him eyeing you. What do you expect me to fucking do? Just let go of that fucking pervert? and let him fucking think of you whenever his mind is filled with dirty thoughts? Huh?!" He shouts while looking down at me. I step back and I didn't noticed it immediately, my hands were shaking from his sharp words. I curled my hands into fist until my nails are digging onto my palms, trying to hide the fact that I'm terrified. Then I hold back my tears from falling.

I don't know the main reason why I'm like this, is it Jiyong's words that hurts like knife? His sudden outburst? Or the fact that he's right and I'm just the stupid one.

I hear him breathing deeply again. I steal glances of him as he combs away the hair covering his face, slightly ruffling it. He walks away and then back to where he was standing, with his rage that fades away little by little. Silence fills us. I feel the stare of people around us too.

"I didn't mean to- I'm sorry" he whispers. He hesitated stepping closer to me. Maybe he wanted to hug me or that's just my crazy imagination, but a part of me wished he did.

Another part of me wanted him gone. That I could've been partnered with someone else, or that I would've never seen those daring eyes ever again. The eyes that makes me lose my mind whenever it stares right back at me, and I hate myself for it.

Jiyong, I hate you so much.

"Don't worry unnie I already talked to their team leader. They'll fire the guy for sure and they apologized for the inconvenience" Jisoo then puts her hand on my shoulder and smiles genuinely. I smile back to her and nod continuously "Of course" I stated, my smile slowly fading away. "Just let me know if you want to kill the guy. I'll do the dirty work" she winks and with determination she pats her chest pointing herself "I'll do everything I can" I force myself to smile "You're the best".

"Just don't forget to visit me when I'm in jail okay?" She pretends shedding a tear and I laugh quietly at the short but cute act she did.

"Dara" I turn my head to Jiyong calling me almost like a whisper. There's something in his tone, the way he said my name, it felt nostalgic. Its like hearing a favorite song you used to love and it just plays with your feelings.

He tried to start his sentence but nothing came out."-actually uhh" he clears his throat then he continues "I'm sorry". He stands facing me, waiting for something to happen. I mean what does he expect me to do? Just forgive him right away?

"I'm sorry??" I said loudly surprising Jiyong even myself because it wasn't my intention to say that out loud. "That's it? I'm sorry?! No explanation or anything? Just that?"

"What am I suppose to say then? Thank you? Shouldn't that be the other way around?" Silence fills the air again. His words somewhat suddenly felt cold and it irritated me so much.

"What did I ever do to you? Or to anyone actually to deserve this, you being in my life again? I mean ever since you came back everything somehow feels like its going down the drain. I was doing just fine and then here you go again walking all over me with your pride. I have to keep going but if you're just going to screw it all up again then I don't know..... Augh why do you have to be so irritating??" I ramble not really knowing what I just said. I don't know if I should be happy that I was able to say it to him face to face or not.
