Hidden: Strings of Fate

CHAPTER 39

Kim. Jun. Gi. Why of all the times did he have go come to South Korea now?

I can't believe it! Where's he going to live? What's he going to do while he's here? Where's he going to sleep? Why is he here?!! Jun Gi, you big pabo! Aish!

I'll tell you something though. He was unique. Too unique. There was no-one else like him in the world. And he... he was my best friend. After my last relationship broke down, I leant on him... a lot. And seeing him here, brings back a lot of memories. Bad memories. Some I thought I had forgotten. Obviously I didn't do a good job of it...

I broke up with my partner 2 years ago. I do still think about him sometimes but he did to me that is unforgivable.

"Wake up, Honey," I heard someone say, "wake up. Now's not the time to day dream. Your washings done. Do you want me to help you tidying it away?" He asked, with an evil grin.

"It's fine. I need to put it in the dryer first." I started to unload the clothes from the washing and loaded them into the dryer.

"Ooooo what's this?" Jun Gi inquired as he beat down near the washing machine to pick something up. He lifted the object with his forefinger and thumb. "I guess my Honey has been having a lot of sleepless nights. Such a naughty girl. She has even suggestive underwear now..."

Upon hearing the word 'my', I flipped my head towards him. I could see the smirk on his face.

"Yah! Don't refer to me as yours! I'm not yours! Now, give me back my underwear, you pervert." I held my hand out, waiting.

"What do you take me for? Some kind of creep that likes stealing girls' underwear?" He said while handing the lacey, purple underwear back to me.

"It wouldn't be the first time..." referring to an incident that happened when we were teenagers. It was the start of the summer holidays and Jun Gi had come to visit his girlfriend. Yes, believe it or not his girlfriend live right next door to me. Anyway, he happened to stay over (don't worry, her mum was there. She made sure he didn't get up to any funny business) and a bunch of her underwear had gone missing. She started accusing Jun Gi of stealing them. And soon the rumour that he was and underwear thief spread like wildfire at school. She went home one day and found them on her bed. It turns our her sister had been borrowing them because she liked the feel of them. He broke with her a day later. In short, to this day Jun Gi is still known as the underwear thief in our friends circle and has still not lived the rumour down.

"You're really going to go there? You're really going to bring that up now? Again. Right here? In this type of situation?" He asked, while getting a firm grip on the underwear. He yanked the underwear so I ended closer to him.

"Go where? I have no idea what you're talking about?" I replied back using a sarcastic tone of voice. I looked around while feeling smug.

"OK but you asked for it." He whipped the underwear out of my hand and started to run into the main living area.

"YAH!! Mi chyeo sseo? Jugeullae?!" I screamed, infuriated. I banged the dryer closed and switched it on.

"What?! What did you say? I couldn't quite understand that..." he smirked.

"Kim Jun Gi, get back here if you don't want to die!" I shouted as I edged closer, preparing to launch myself at him. I could feel my anger rising quite rapidly.

"I don't really want to though. I'd prefer to be over here with these," he said, while twirling my underwear on his forefinger.

My anger had hit its limit now. "You're dead!" I shouted through gritted teeth. I launched myself at him. I was going to make him pay for everything. I ran towards him fists at the ready, nails out ready to maim. I tripped. I closed my eyes and braced for impact but I stopped moving. I felt someone's gaze on me. My eyes opened to find Jun Gi's intense stare looking down at me. Our eyes met and we connected for a moment. Just a moment... not any longer. His eyes then travelled down my face to my lips, then back up to my eyes.

I straightened my self and grabbed my underwear out of his hand and threw it into the drying basket. Jun Gi stood still in thought. Grabbing my now fully charged phone from my room I headed out the apartment, slamming the door as hard as I could. I needed to get out of there. These feelings can't be coming back. Not again.
