Babe, I Love You

Exception

Yejin is standing near the countertop of their office's pantry while brewing her Americano coffee. She is slightly having an awkward day since her ex-boyfriend is now inside her office for his first day of training. Though she is trying her best to be professional with her job, Go Soo's disclosure about his rekindle feelings towards her is still ramping in her mind.

While she's staring blankly at the white wall thinking about how to manage everything with Go Soo, she came back to her senses when she heard her phone ringing.

A call from her best friend...

"Yeoboseyo?" Yejin answered in a lower tone.

"Yej, are you ready for tomorrow?" Hyojin asked.

She took a deep breath and turns off the switch button of the coffee brewer machine before responding to her...

"I don't want to attend, Hyoj... Maybe I'll just stay in my room tomorrow."

"No! We will go together! Are you afraid to see Bin? Prove to him that you're okay now and show him that he's not the only guy in this world. Duh!" Hyojin sharply stated enough to make Yejin slightly move her phone away from her ear.

When she was about to respond to her and attempts to decline for another time around, Hyojin started blabbering again that made her day more fiddly...

"Oh, Go Soo texted me earlier and said he got the approval to join the team building tomorrow. We will fetch you at your flat at eight in the morning, okay? Annyeong!"

The call ended so she wasn't able to fire back at her best friend anymore. Out of frustration, she just tapped her head and bites her lower lip before going out from the pantry area along with her clouded mind.

Tomorrow morning...

Yejin growls irritably as she is waking up from multiple bangs at her door. Wiping her sleepy eyes using her right index finger, she scratched her head before getting up from the bed. Seconds after, she opened the door and as expected, it was her best friend with two arms crossed and hurriedly steps inside her room. Hyojin then walks directly to her closet and pick dresses to pack inside her mini black traveling bag.

"Ya! Why you're not yet ready? Go to the bathroom now and wash up! Go Soo is outside waiting for us."

Yejin sits beside her bed and tried laying down again, but Hyojin holds her arm and shoots a fire gaze at her...

"Hyoj, I really don't want to-" Yejin could no longer dodge as Hyojin is harshly pushing her back going towards her bathroom.

"Stop blabbering! Take a quick shower now. I'll prepare your things. Palli!" Hyojin shouted in an urgent tone.

Yejin stomped her right foot on the floor while both of her hands are on each side of her hips since she doesn't really want to attend the event. Aside from it's going to be two days and one night trip, she's afraid to see Bin again after what happened in the hospital. Yes, she's now slowly moving on and getting used to that Bin is no longer around closer to her, but it will not really help her heart by seeing him again. She's afraid.

While feeling the warm water drops from the shower to her whole body, she began thinking again with the thought of staying in one hall or room with Bin. Eating food at one table with him... What if he'll take short glances or stares at her? She knows how good is Bin playing his gages because she experienced it when he courted her before. Can her heart be able to avoid it this time? She's not really sure. It terrifies her.
