"Don't touch me" I smacked his hands away retreating backwards to the door, I needed to get out before he grabbed me again.

"Like hell I won't"  He growled stalking towards me looking pissed but his eyes held pain and sorrow, he reached for me again.

"Stop" I screamed, "I don't want to hurt you please don't come any closer" my eyes stung, I didn't want to do this, I didn't want to walk away and leave him in anguish but I HAVE TO!!

"Then hurt me, please hurt me cause I swear on my life, my soul and my heart I won't let you leave me again" his steps faltered and I knew why, he's too close and it's killing him...I'M KILLING HIM.

Where's the stupid door handle when you need it.

"Please....Stop I can't"— finally found the handle and all but ripped it open, before I could step out he grabbed me around the waist, hugging me tightly.

"No don't do th—

"I remember telling you I would never let you leave me again"  his voice hoarse, his breath hot against my neck, his heartbeat slowing down, I was draining his life force, "Please..." I whispered as my tears stained his shirt.

"I love you Joon I'd rather die than let you...leave me a-again"  I struggled against him until I finally broke free and ran out putting as much distance between him and I.

It's safer this way.

"Jae Joon" Lisa called tapping him on the shoulder, Joon flinched turning to look at his co-barista.

"Yeah sorry, I was Ermmm....thinking"  scratching the back of his head and tapping the tip of his toe against the floor.

"It's alright, I just wanted to ask if you could cover for me tonight" she looked like she was asking for Joon's kidney rather than a favor.

"Yeah I'll cover for you, besides tomorrow's Saturday and I'm free....errrr too much information". Lisa smiled and shook her head, Joon is the most awkward guy she'd ever met.

"Thank you" she gives Joon a quick hug before attending to a customer.

Joon wondered where Lisa was taking too, not that it was any of his business however he was looking forward to completing his thesis for the final year project this night but Lisa was so nice and he couldn't say NO.

Lately Joon's been feeling weird, like something was about to happen—something big and scary—, not liking the feeling he decide to think about other things—less scary things that he knew off. He had college, project, a job, his parents; who kept asking him to come home—, as wonderful as that sounds he wasn't up for it, although he missed his mum's Kimchi and his dad's traditional Banga soup. Joon felt his pocket buzz, it was the reminder he set on his phone for his thesis.

"Ughh, I'm so screwed" he grunted, as he watched Lisa take off her apron hurriedly all the while cussing under her breath.

"Yo gotta go, Bye and Thank you" Lisa half-yelled heading out the door before Joon could say anything. "Yeah bye" he still called out, she wasn't the type to run out like that. Still mauling over Lisa's unusual character, Joon didn't notice Kyle.

"Hi Joon, what's good?", Kyle;one of the guys on  night shift asked. Ohhhh Kyle, tall-dark-skinned-beautiful-eyed-Kyle. He had the best set of eyes Joon had ever seen, compared to his light brown one's, Kyles eyes where almost green..almost cause they tend to change color under the light, maybe it was just his imagination or the crush he had on him which numbed Joon's brain cells.
