Rumors|| Yang Jeongin

19

a few seconds go by, eunseo sitting in her car with her eyes wide, stepping on the gas pedal a bit more after she passed the green light, and jeongin trying his best not to shout at his manager to move faster. those few seconds, to them both, felt like an eternity. and suddenly, the line was cut. eunseo glances down, her screen pitch black, probably in indication that her phone had died, and she had no option to stop and place it on charge.

jeongin, however, is in a full panic. what if something happens to her? what did he do? it wasn't like he couldn't see them, but the more his manager tried to follow the speed limit, the farther they both seem to get. he knows that if they pass the wrong place, or the wrong person, it would result in the hands of the authorities, and he hopes that's not the case.

he wants to call again, but he knows that she won't be able to answer, so he fidgets in his seat, anxiously wanting to go behind the wheel and drive after his beloved girlfriend, but he didn't want to seem rude in the slightest. he could tell, that the person she's dealing with, isn't a new person, or a new thing, but not knowing who they are or what they want with her is just as terrifying. he just wants to make sure she's safe. the car chase, though, isn't going to persuade his mind into it.

after passing the light, his manager finally picks up some speed, jeongin finally seeing the gold car that he came to know over the past year that she has had it for. he noticed that she swerved just a corner away from the building, the SUV making the same turn, and suddenly, like some kind of creature possessed him, he told his manager to drive to the company.

sure, his manager was confused, is he just gonna leave his girlfriend in the hands on the enemy? nonetheless, he drove towards the company, going to the back, near the entrance to the underground parking lot. once they drove around to their spot, he opened the door, stretching a bit, anxious thoughts still running around in his mind a mile a minute.

he took his laptop bag out of the car with him, his phone in his hand, jacket over his arm, and he closed the door. his manager went to start walking towards the elevator, and like some psychic being, jeongin pulls him back, and the infamous gold car speeds through, before slowing down, and hurriedly parking in the spot reserved for her near the elevator.

🤣🤣 there's more don't worry.

the minute she steps out the car, she sweeps her to the side, frantically looking around, before sighing, and bowing, numerous apologies escaping her lips in broken whispers and shaky breaths, her overly aggressive hands, erupting violently like a volcano, goes to shake his hand in greeting as she apologizes profusely.

the manager could've only heard jeongin's side of the story, sure, but to feel how much she shook by just her hands makes it known that this was indeed a very serious matter, and it needed to be addressed. oh, yes, mr manager just pile a bunch of shit on my plate to finish closing now will yuh.

he pointed to the elevator, gesturing for her to get on the elevator, so that they can go back inside the company, now really trusting the security in front to keep the intruder outside the premises. as they got on, jeongin took the shaking body of his girlfriend in his arms, inhaling her scent, chin immediately on the crown of her head.

he begins to whisper comforting words to her, rubbing her arms and trying to calm her down. for the most part, all he needed to do was just hug her, but the calming methods contradicted from his rapid heart rate.

"eungie, he's gone okay. he's gone. just breathe for me. breathe, nice and slow. there you go. in and out. just breathe. relax my darling, he's not here, i can assure you, it's only three of us on this elevator. you and i are here, and ren hyung is here too."

he, himself started to believe his little whispers, his heart starting to beat regularly, and that's, that is when she began to listen to his words, the mellow tone in his voice, the way it waltzed with her to the tune of soothing melodies, the song of calmness accompanied with it. her shakes died down, and slowly, yet surely, she hugged him back.

"this is a long ass elevator ride man."

she announces, causing the three to laugh at her statement, and jeongin to see which level his manager pressed in a hurry.

"seventeenth floor. we were all kind of afraid."

"ooooo, we're going to the marketing department. i always wanted to talk to them about their merchandise options."

eunseo says, her mouth forming a pout as she remembers how they really tried to push selling a whitewashed version of reina's face pillow. let's just say the person who came up with that is blacklisted.

"they're marketing and finance. which means they do the selling and budget maintenance. if you want merchandise sales and creation, go to the fourteenth floor."

"oh! thank you ren!"

"hyung. why don't we just stop on the tenth floor?"

"the extra practice rooms? why wouldㅡ oh, okay, cool."

(a/n: SCREAMINGGGGGGGGGG SISJSJSJSJDJSISJWJEIDO THIS MANAGER KNOWS WHAT'S UP)

the manager pressed the button to the tenth floor, and within record time, the doors opened. jeongin guided eunseo out of elevator, and she looked at the manager in confusion, why wasn't he coming out.

"i'm going to check on my wife in finance, you two have fun!"

and with that, the door closed, and he left the two alone. eunseo quickly looked up at her boyfriend, and was taken aback a bit to see that he was already staring at her. his eyes softened a bit, before smiling and cupping her cheeks.

"i was worried about you. i hope whoever that is, will get what's coming to him. ooh, i wanna punch him in the face."

"jeongin, we talked about this already, you can't just go around punching people."

"i know, but the dude probably deserves it. whoever he is."

jeongin watched as eunseo's eyes moved away from looking at his, and he moved his head to follow her eyes, which resulted in the both of them moving their eyes and faces to either avoid or see the other, causing them to laugh once their eyes met.

jeongin placed a big fat kiss on eunseo's forehead, smiling, and moved his hand to pull her in the nearest practice room.

"i told you all about my day, now tell me, what happened in the last two days with you."

my dear jeongie boy too fucking much happened.
