The love between 'us'

Nice to meet you

"That's not what I said!" I argue back.

"You know what, I can't do this" he backs away from me and puts on his jacket and grabs his keys.

"Yeah! Leave like you always do!" Tears forming in my eyes.

I watch him grab his suitcase and walk out the door.

I fell to the floor and cried until I couldn't anymore. The house was empty and quiet. Nobody to cry to or talk to. Again.

I wipe my tears away and stand up after my breakdown. I walk up the stairs and head to my empty bed.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have walked away like that, you're right. But you know how my job is, it requires me to leave and-"

"And you didn't even say no. You immediately said ok the moment they asked you to fly out there. Don't tell me you're sorry if you don't mean it. I'm not having this conversation with you over the phone" I quickly hang up and groan in frustration. I didn't want to be home alone so I decided to drive over to my friends house. She's always the best at making me feel better when i'm down.

I ring the doorbell and the door opens within a few seconds. My best friend smiles at me and her two dimples show on her cheeks instantly. "You okay?" She asks. That was enough for me to break down right in front of her. She pulls me into a tight hug and doesn't say a word. She lets me cry until I'm done and we walk inside the house, sitting down on her maroon velvet couch.

"He left again didn't he?" She asks.

I slowly nod.

She sighs, "I told you to marry me instead"

I chuckle and wipe my tears. She smiles once she seems me smile.

"You're not going to leave him?"

I stay silent for a few seconds, "but...I love him"

"Do you love him, or are you in love with him?"

"I-" I've never thought of that before. She's right, am I in love with him or do I just love him.

"You love him because he's all you've known. You were in love with him, you're not anymore. I can see it in your eyes Hyun mi. You don't look at him the same way you used to anymore and that's okay. It happens and it isn't your fault. You're the only one putting the effort into this relationship, if you're the only one putting in the effort, why are you staying? You're putting all your time and energy into someone who doesn't care about you. Why are you trying so hard for a relationship that isn't working anymore. He clearly doesn't want it to work if he keeps leaving you like this. He doesn't even know that you cry yourself sleep, that you come here and cry to me because of him."

"I don't know jaeha.."

"You don't know or you don't want to?"

I get back home and slouch down onto my couch. It was around 10 pm at night and I realized that I forgot to get groceries. I got back up again and went to the grocery store around the corner. After getting what I needed, I drove back home. By now, it was already almost 11 pm. I was unpacking the bags out from the car and I felt this strange feeling that somebody was watching me. It was like my sixth sense kicked in.

I quickly grabbed my bags and closed the door shut, locking my car and speeding into my house. I lock the door and walk into my kitchen to set down the groceries on the island table. I still felt like I was being watched even though I was inside my house, I was safe, right?

Suddenly I hear a loud thud outside my house coming from the backyard. I grab my phone and quickly walk towards the window to peak out a bit. There was someone trying to break into my house and that freaked me out. I turn and try to find somewhere safe to hide but keeping my eye on the door at the same time. Suddenly, I'm pulled into the pantry with my mouth covered. I have my back against a masculine chest that's slowly breathing.

"Shh" he whispers.

I have my eyes tightly closed and stay as quiet as possible. I feel him move a bit and I hear the pantry door slightly open. I slowly open my eyes and see a man in all black roughly searching through drawers through the crack in the door. Suddenly he's out of my sight and I hear footsteps running upstairs.

"Stay here" the man behind me says in a deep and husky whisper. He removes his soft hands away from my mouth and quietly walks out the pantry. I didn't get a good look at him, I was only able to see his broad shoulders and back. He had black hair and was tall. Once he left, I let out a deep breath that I didn't even know I was holding in. My heart was racing and my mind was everywhere. What was going on.

All of a sudden, the door opens revealing a tall handsome young man with broad shoulders. "It's safe to come out now" his voice was so deep. I've never met anyone with a voice as deep as his. I was so mesmerized with his looks that I didn't even notice I had been starring. He lightly chuckles, "are you going to stare at me all night?"

It snaps me out of my thoughts, "who are you?"
"Me?" He points at himself and smirks, "I'm your knight in shining armor. Nice to meet you"
