Us Again | Yoon Jeonghan

Chapter 12

On that night, their mini reunion ended with the three of us parting ways. Jeonghan said he has to go back to his company, Joshua has to fix his things and I...

I'm just going home.

When I'm already lying on my bed, my phone suddenly rang and when I grabbed it from my table, it was Joshua.

"Joshua?"

"Liseu! Are you busy?"

"No. I was just about to go to sleep. What about you? Have you finished unpacking?", I heard him chuckle through the line, and I just did the same.

"Yep, and besides I really didn't bring a lot of stuffs."

"Oh, but why did you call? Aren't you tired?"

"Not really. I just wanted to talk to you.", A smile crept on my face. He's still the same, a gentleman but also a flutter.

"Oh and by the way, are you and Jeonghan really just friends?", I suddenly became nervous again. I told him earlier that Jeonghan and I are just friends, and we just happen to meet because of some school stuffs. I don't want to lie to him but I can't tell him what relationship Jeonghan and I had.

"Y-Yes."

"Okay, that's nice then.", He chuckled."Why?", I raised my brows.

"Why what?"

"Why is it nice- nevermind you don't have to answer it."

"You're still funny.", This time he laughed, while I just did a fake one.

Our phone call lasted for thirty minutes. I was about to turn off my phone, but I suddenly saw his name beside Joshua's name on my contacts. I just stared at it blankly. I did change my phone, but I still saved his phone number -unintentionally-, even his grandma's phone number.

I kept thinking. What would happen if I call him? Is he busy until now?
But, I can't call him. I can't because he already has a girlfriend.

I sighed before turning off my phone, and finally drifting off to dreamland.

Another day came, another working day. The whole day was the usual one, though there's still some problems, we managed to get through.

It's night already and I'm now looking the restaurant. When I turned around Jeonghan's face was the first thing that welcomed me, causing me to flinch and was about to fall but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him.

There goes my heart again. I immediately pulled my hand and took a step back.

"Glad I caught you.", He mischievously smirked, and I just looked at him in disbelief.

"We're already close. You should just come back tomorrow.", I bowed and smiled before walking past him.

"I actually came here for you but it's alright if you're going now.", I looked back at him, and he changed his smirk into a smile.

"But as you said, I'll be sure to come back tomorrow.", He continued. I pursed my lips and just stared at him, weirdly.

As he said, he did come back the next day.

"I think you should come here abit earlier so you can eat."

"I already said, that I'm here for you.", He innocently smiled.

"And I know you didn't mean that.", I smiled at him, sarcastically.

"I did mean it."

'Come on Yoon Jeonghan. Don't be like this, it's making me believe that I should really fight for you, but I can't. I don't want to meddle in your relationship just because of my unwanted feelings.'

The next day. It wasn't that great, actually, no - it was the worst. Nothing has been working out since morning until now that is already night. I'm so stressed that I don't want to do anything anymore and just go home and sleep.

"Hey, Liseu.", My high temper did go away when I saw him, but there's this part of me that is still frustrated.

"Why?", I soulessly asked while waiting for him to say anything and just end this conversation.

"Nothing, I just kept my promise that I'll be coming here for you.", He innocently smiled then again.

"Look Jeonghan, this is wrong, okay? Everything we're doing is not okay. For the past days, I just let you come here, that maybe you'll get tired and would stop, but you didn't. I'm really tired, please, just stop.", I sighed before walking past him, my head lowered. My tears are starting to build in my eyes, that any moment now I doubt that it wouldn't come out.

"Wait!", I halted, I stood still for a moment before looking back at him, and letting him see my crying mess.

"You already have a girlfriend Jeonghan. For her and for you, you have to stop this now, or else she'll misunderstood. Just forget everything that happened between us these days, because I'm trying too.", I turned around and ran to my car, wiping my tears that has been constantly falling.

Jeonghan's POV

For days I have been constantly going to Liseu's restaurant just to talk to her, but everytime I would come she would just ignore me, after a small chat, she would just go, but it's okay. I know she's tired too.

I have loads of things to do, but I just want to make some time for her, and it also helps, seeing her and joking with her was one great stress reliever.

Then this night came. I know she had a bad day just by looking at her stressed face, I wanted to doe something for her but nothing seems to work.

She walked past me after saying that I should stop, but I don't want to. I wanted to prove to her that I still love her and that I would do everything, evene ditching my own work.

"You already have a girlfriend Jeonghan. For her and for you, you have to stop this now, or else she'll misunderstood. Just forget everything that happened between us these days, because I'm trying too.", She turned around and before I could even hold her back, she already went inside her car and drove away.

Before I could even say that I don't have a girlfriend when I'm waiting for her to be mine. Before I could even say that I won't ever forget all the memories I had with her, and that I won't even try to forget those.

I just stood still there, not knowing what to do, but the least thing that I could is to give her time.
My phone suddenly rung. I looked at the caller's ID, and it was my secretary.

"Hello sir?, I think you need to come here at the company now.", My brows furrowed just by hearing the tone of his voice.

"Why? Is there something wrong?"

"Yes sir, you need to come here, asap."

I went to the company with my mind still occupied by her. The moment I went inside my office, my secretary was already there and told me a sudden news that I don't want to do. But I have no choice, it's for the company, which is the result of my parents hard work.

After a week, I'll go to Italy to invest a company there to help build strategic assets. But for that one week left I will still be busy, for days I left lots of paperwork's that I have to do them before going overseas.
