I'm Breaking

Chapter 50

Chaeyoung PoV

Junhoe cancelled on me for our meet up today. He said he had some work to do, so I pay for my small snack in this cafe and walk out. 

There wasn't a lot of things to do in the hospital. It only felt small because Jihyo and Chanyeol have been busy with their new nurse station rotations. 

I walked back to the direction of the hospital, wondering where Namjoon-sunbae is. He and I agreed to talk about the John Hopkin's case but he never went to my office. 

Is it just me or the everyone is starting to distance themselves? I've been trying to reach Jungkook through the phone but it always says he's out of contact. His Kakao account has been deleted, and I don't know if he has a new one. 

While walking, I feel like someone is following me. So I turn around, but there was no one I could recognize. In times like this, I get scared. 

When Jungkook was still reachable, and would take me out to lunch, his arm would always be wrapped around my shoulders. He says, it's like a protective act so there won't be anybody who would dare to touch me. 

Now that I'm out alone, I feel insecure. 

Before, I just stay in the hospital's cafeteria and eat or bring some snacks. The food in the cafeteria tastes awful now and the only times I'm not picky with the taste of my food is after a long surgery. 

Again, I feel like I'm being followed. Like someone was approaching me. 

When I was about to turn around, a hand wearing a black glove was on my shoulder. I turned to look who it was then back to the street. There were only little people. 

"Ms. Park Chaeyoung?" he asked. 

"Y-Yes, that's me," I answered. 

"I am Agent Choi, under the Jeon Foundation's body guard system," he showed me his ID. "I'm sorry if I have scared you."

I smiled in relief, "No, it's fine. But what do you need from me?"

"Mr. Jeon, Sir Jungkook's father, has requested a face-to-face meeting with you. I'm here under my boss, Cole Sparman, request."

"Like right now?"

He nodded, "Mr. Jeon wants to have lunch with you. Are you coming, Ms. Park?"

I nodded, because Mr. Jeon is a nice man. He's a nice man to me, so I should return the kindness.  Besides, the small snack I had in the cafe did not even fill my stomach. Even though I haven't been inside the OR in 1 week, my stomach's growl is louder than a dragon's. 

"Please enter the car, Ms. Park," he opened a black van's door. 

I just followed, not sure if this guy would really take me to Mr. Jeon. 

After 30-45 minutes of driving, he dropped me off a fancy restaurant in the rich part of town. When the waiter asked me if I had a reservation, I just said Mr. Jeon's name and he led me to a private room. 

Mr. Jeon and Il-Do were seated next to each other, talking to each other seriously. Me entering made the serious atmosphere end and everyone turned to me with smiles. 

"Your meal will be served in 5 minutes, we're sorry for the long wait," the waiter says and bows then leaves. 

I stood there quietly. 

Both of them were looking at me. 

"Please take your seat, young lady," Mr. Jeon motioned to the seat in front of him. 

I bowed down and sat down on the chair. 

The food started to get served, and there was still a silent and awkward air between the 3 of us. I personally wasn't comfortable with them, but they made me feel free to talk when they're not serious.
