Tall Coffee Boi 《Soobin × OC》

Chapter 5

After Soon left to go to the corner store, I stay on the couch and stare at the blank TV screen. I can't do much other than sit here and think about what my next move is gonna be.

I'm not worried about being single, I never was even in a relationship before I met Youngjae. I was raised to be independent and not to rely on anyone.

I'm just worried about what's gonna happen now. Jae goes to my school, I'm just gonna have to try to avoid him as much as I can now. I don't really have any other friends to help me get around, just Soonyoung. But that's what I get for not putting myself out there very much.

I don't know exactly how I'm gonna go about this whole situation next week, but I have today and tomorrow to figure it out.

Eventually I grab the remote and turn on the TV so I'm not sitting here with no purpose. I watch a random movie until Soon comes back.

When she gets back, I help her with the bags of food and sort them to their respective places. She grabs two mug cakes, prepares them, and shoves them in the microwave.

When the mug cakes are done, we sit back on the couch and watch the movie until Soon speaks up.

"So, what are you gonna do now?"

I shrug my shoulders.

"Jihyun, we need to think about how is next week gonna work? I imagine Jae will try to confront you. I'll help you all I can, I'm basically your bodyguard already. The only thing is that I can't be around all the time."

I nod my head. She's right, but what do I do in those times that Soon's not with me?

"I don't know. As long as other people are around I'll be fine. But Jae is smart, he might eventually figure out when I'm alone or not." I think out loud.

Soon clicks her tongue and looks around to think. We can't seem to find a solution to fix the problem with me being alone when Jae might come up to me. Now that I think about it, Jae will most definitely try to talk to me again. He was always the one to apologize first in arguments, I never did because I enjoy being alone from time to time (and also because he was wrong most of the time). The whole clingy and possessive trait he has is looking less and less appealing right now.

"Well, we'll come up with something eventually. We'll just have to be very careful for a bit, I don't think either of us want to be stressed by this at the moment. By the way, why did you have coffee or something on your jacket earlier?" Soon asks.

"Oh, that. I made the impulsive decision to get drinks for me and Jae before going to his apartment, and when I left someone ran into me and spilled my drink on me. I feel bad now because he bought me another but now it's at that cheater's place." I say. I put more emotion in the last part because the sadness cleared up and now I'm feeling the anger roll in.

"Oh." Soon says and glances at the clock on the wall. "So it's only 5:30, do you want to just chill here for the rest of the day? I can stay here if you need me to." Soon offered.

"That would be nice. I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to lay in bed and watch YouTube for the rest of the day."

"That's fine, I'll be in my room. I'll order take-out later ok?"

I nodded my agreement. Getting up to go to my room, I flop on my bed and stare at the ceiling. I'm not thinking of anything, just an empty mind. I can't tell if I'm handling this well, or if I'm still in shock. Either way, I hope I stay in this state, I don't want to be a crying mess like I see other girls after a break-up.

I pull out my computer and wander around YouTube for the rest of the day. Soon did eventually order food from my favorite place, which was an unexpected surprise. After we ate, we went back to our rooms and almost immediately fell asleep.

Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

A/N

Do you think Jihyun is taking this well or not?

I wanted her to not be broken because of this, but she is supposed to be at least a little hurt because she just broke up with her boyfriend. Again, I've never experienced this before, so I don't know how to react to something like this. My goal was to have Jihyun fall, quickly get up, and continue moving without a second thought. She's supposed to be a strong independent lady, this is a minor set back.

Ok I'm done rambling.

Anyway, stay safe my dudes! Let's follow in Jihyun's imaginary footsteps and indulge in some mug cakes this week. I don't know about you guys. But I found that cake is a lot better when it's been put in the fridge for a while. It's like eating an ice cream cake without ice cream.

Luv you guys! 💛💙💛💙
