Tall Coffee Boi 《Soobin × OC》

Chapter 9

After I read the text, I blocked Jae's number, I forgot to do that yesterday. Now I'm even more scared, what is he going to try to do? What lengths will he go to to come to me?

As the professor goes on and on with the class, I quickly text Soon about what just happened. I'm sure we'll discuss this when we get home later.

~*~*~*~*~

The rest of the day was eerily calm. I tried to stay on guard the whole day, especially when I was in-between classes. But nothing happened, which is odd because I expected Jae to try to find me again.

I met up with Soon in the middle of the day just to check on each other. Yesterday, we considered the fact that Jae might try to talk to Soon also. So we need to make sure we both are ok and haven't seen him throughout the day.

Later on, we both got back to the dorm and discussed the earlier events of the day.

"He grabbed your hand!?"

"Yeah, but luckily the professor saw him bothering me and told him to leave. After about a minute he texted me, then I blocked him right away." I said.

"My god, this kid really doesn't know when he's done enough." She sighed. "Look, he won't bother me, I've made it clear to him that he can't mess with me even when you were still together. But if I hear that he tries to touch you again I swear I-"

"I know, Soon, I know. Let's just see what's gonna happen next, then we'll see if we need to take action."

Soon sighs and leans back in her chair. "Fine."

Satisfied with her answer, I get up from the table and make my way to my room, there's always work to be done.

~*~*~*~*~

After working for a few hours, I prepare for bed and get ready to crash as soon as I hit the mattress.

I slowly drift off to sleep, trying to hold on to the thought of tomorrow for as long as I can. Eventually, I lose it and slip into the dream world.

I open my eyes to be met with a bright light.

When my eyes adjust, I see that I'm in the coffee shop down the street. There was no one really there, besides the usual employees.

I look around to see a guy sitting at a table with his back to me. He looks familiar with his dark hair, grey hoodie and black jeans. I whack my brain to remember who I saw wearing that.

That guy .... Bin..... Soobin.

I walk closer and tap him on the shoulder. He turns around, but it isn't the shy boy from earlier. I take a step back as a taller, more intimidating Jae starts to inch closer to me.

I look around and call out for help, but the employees seem to have disappeared from their positions.

I jump when I feel two cold hands on my shoulders. I look up to see Jae staring intensely at me with the most emotionless face I've ever seen on him.

His grip tightens on my shoulders and his eyebrows furrowed together.

I start getting chills down my spine, Jae's really strong and seems really angered right now.

I cover my face with my hands to protect myself and brace for anything that might come my way.

But nothing came.

Instead I feel the hands on my shoulders loosen and one moves to stroke my hair.

I slowly open my hands to see a worried face that doesn't belong to Jae.

"Jihyun, are you ok? Why are you crying?"

I reach my hand to my face and feel the tears running down my cheek. When did I start crying?

Soobin uses his thumb to wipe the tears from my face, while his other hand is still stroking my hair.

"I- W-what happened?" I say.

Soobin stops whipping my tears and pulls me into a hug. His tall form towers over me, making me feel secured from anything that comes our way.

He places his head on mine and starts to rub circles on my back.

"Don't worry, Jihyun. I'm here for you when you need me."

I try to look up at him, but everything fades to black before I can see his face.

The next thing I knew, it was morning and my alarm was screaming for me to wake up.

A/N

The meaning behind the dream is probably really obvious, if it's not, tell me in the comments what you think it symbolizes.

Anyway, I wanted to ask anyone who may be reading this if there is any way you think I could improve this story. This is my first story I've published and I'm self-conscious of a lot of things about it. Even if you see this days, weeks, months after I asked, I would appreciate input from a random reader.

Luv you guys! 💛💙💛💙
