I ignore Yugyeom for a whole week.
Easier said than done,really.He sits five feet from me at work and lives across the hall.It's been a miracle that I haven't had to talk to him.
It's Friday afternoon, and I'm in a good mood.I finished editing four manuscripts this week, having turned in my fourth one this morning and Jb is picking me up from work.
I'm excited to see him.We've both been busy all week, so we finally get our night out tonight.
The afternoon that I followed Yugyeom still fresh in my mind.Every time I look at him, more and more questions fill my brain.Who are those guys?What numbers?
I shouldn't care.But the way Yugyeom has been more reserved lately makes my mind run.
Four o'clock rolls around and everyone gathers their things to leave.I chat with Perrie as we walk out.
"What are your plans for the weekend?I ask her.She shrugs. "Not a ton. Sleep,eat,repeat" She laughs. "You?"
"I'm seeing Jb tonight"I say.
"Ooh"She says, nudging me."I must know all the details over coffee"
I flush."No we don't...uh..we haven't"
"Oh"Perrie smiles."Still,we should have coffee.Does Sunday work?"
"Sunday's great"
"Perfect,see you then"Perrie unlocks her car and waves me goodbye.
I stake out the lot, but don't see Jb's car anywhere.I take a seat at a bench outside and pull my coat tightly around me.
I check my phone for messages from Jb, but there are none.I text him asking where he is, but no reply.Maybe he's driving.Maybe he forgot the address?
He'll be here,my mind insists.He promised.
Car after car pull in and out of the lot, but not Jb's. Mr.Crystal nods to me as he walks out,phone against his ear.Even Marion makes her way out, shooting me a smile.
The autumn sky begins to dim, the air getting chilled exhale, my breath swirling in front of me.Where is he?
I check my phone.No massages.
I wait another fifteen minutes before calling him, only to get his voicemail.
I hang up and put my head in my hands.Why isn't he answering?He told me he'd pick me up.He took me this morning, so I really don't have a way to get home.I guess I could walk.It's only about fifteen blocks.
I can't help the warm tears that start to fall.Doesn't Jb care about me enough to pick me up from work?
"Y/N?"
I look up to see none other than Yugyeom standing in front of me, confusion written into his features.I quickly whipe my tears away and straighten my posture.I shouldn't have been crying over stupid Jaebum.
"What do you want?"I snap.
Yugyeom stares at me. "Are you alright?"His tone is soft and baffles me.He's never spoken to me any way that wasn't teasing ot hurtful.
I frown.
"Why are you out here yourself?"He asks when I don't answer.
"Jb is coming to pick me up"I say."And then we're going out to dinner and a movie"
Yugyeom checks his phone for the time. "Y/N, it's nearly five o'clock" It's odd to hear him call me by the name I prefer instead of my nickname.
I look away, the wind picking up slightly.I hadn't noticed the grey clouds covering the sky. They look dark and angry.
