I cross my arms over my chest at Jb.It's been an entire week since he left in the middle of out date, and he's barely called me.To say I'm upset is an understatement. He smiles at me apologetically.
"Want to explain yourself?"I ask,leaning against my doorframe.
"I know you're probably pissed to the max,sweetie, but I've been swamped.Flu season is starting, you know"
I sigh."I guess i just felt like you don't make time for me."I hate the whiny tone in my voice.
Jb's eyes soften and he takes my hand."I'll try harder, I promise. Soon I'll be on break and we can spend every day together."
A smile creeps onto my face."Okay," I say meekly and Jb pulls me into a hug, kissing my cheek.
I hear rustling and I open my eyes over Jb's shoulder to meet that yellow hair.I pull away from Jb quickly.
Yugyeom grins, dropping his keys into his pocket."Afternoon, sweetie"he says.
Jb looks between me and Yugyeom, and back again.
Yugyeom looks at Jaebum and his smile grows."You must be Jb"He says."I'm Yugyeom".He reaches out to shake Jb's hand."I've heard so much about you."
I internally cringe.Jb shakes Yugyeom's hand.
"And I've heard nothing about you.."Jb shifts his gaze to me.
"Y/N and I work together and we also happen to be neighbors.Isn't that right, Park Y/N?"
I look at my feet.After a successful week of ignoring Yugyeom, I'd thought he had gotten the message that I really don't want to associate with him.
"Oh"Jb says."Very nice."
"So I hear you're a medical intern?"
Oh God.
"Yes."
"That's very interesting"
I'm afraid to look up my feet.
"What sort of work do you do?"
"Anywhere they need help,really."
"Ever do any work on the heart?"
"No, actually. I'm not interested in cardiology."
"I thought you said you worked anywhere they need help"
"I do, but I haven't worked on the heart.Not yet, anyway."
"I see"
"What do you do?"
"I work accounting"
"Wow"
"You don't work"I interject."You just bother me."
Jb looks at Yugyeom."He bothers you?"He asks me,his tone cold.
"No, not like that, Jb.He throws paper at me, though"
Yugyeom smiles crookedly.
Jb looks at me."Well, we have a place to be, so I'll see you around, Yugyeom."
"All right.Have a good night"I'm surprised at Yugyeom's friendliness.
Jb takes my hand and we begin to walk down the hall.
"Oh,Y/N?"
I turn and look at Yugyeom,Jb stopping as well.
"If anything should come up,I'd be glad to give you a ride again"Yugyeom smirks, his eyes mean.
I blush.
"What does he mean?"Jb asks.
"Nothing"I snap.I tug Jb's arm and we get into the elevator, the doors dinging shut behind us.
I'm admittedly furious at Yugyeom.How dare he say that in front of Jb?I can only imagine what Jb is thinking.
Dinner goes smoothly and Jb drops me home,kissing me at the door.He hasn't asked me about what Yugyeom said to him before we left,and for that I'm glad.
We say our goodbyes at the door.He smiles at me and kisses my cheek before turning and starting to walk down the hall.He stops and looks back at me.
"Y/N, do me a favor?"
"Sure."
"Stay away from Yugyeom."
His request takes me by surprise."What?"
"I don't trust him.Just...keep your distance, alright?"
I nod "I don't like him anyway."
Jb smiles"Good, See you later, sweetie."
I watch him get onto the elevator and the doors shut.As soon as he's out of sight, I storm across the hall and pound on Yugyeom's door.
Yugyeom opens the door,astonished at my intensity."Y/N?"
"How dare you say you have me a ride in front of Jb?He thinks I'm cheating on him or something!"
Yugyeom half smiles."It was just an offer,sweetie.No need to get pissy."
"God,stop calling me sweetie!"Yugyeom folds his arms over his chest"And if I don't?"He challenges.
I take a breath. "Then...then.."
He smiles coolly.
"You're such an asshole, Yugyeom.You go out of your way to make me crazy, and I'm sick of it.Why don't you just leave me alone?"
He steps back, eyes flashing at my words.Anger quickly engulfs his features."All right, I'll leave you alone,Y/N.But I'll tell you something."
"What"
"Jb's hiding something"
"What the hell do you know?And why do you even care?"I ball my hands into fists."Jb would never hurt me!"
"Oh please.I could give a shit if Jb hurts you!"
Something inside me deflates.He's so disdainful,it shocks me.I turn and walk back into my apartment,slamming the door.
I could give a shit If Jb hurts you.
Good.I wouldn't need Yugyeom if Jb hurt me anyway.
