42 Chleo's Explanation

After the incident last night, we haven't discussed it with anyone about it and even with our manager, we don't confide the incident since we don't want her to freak out. As we freak out last night, we prefer to do our job before going out of the shop. And so, the incident is prudent for the three of us. 

Luckily, my shift today is the morning shift and it's not a peak time from the shop. 

"I could rest," I whisper as I wobble my head on the counter whilst looking around the place and wait for other customers. 

The smile on my face never flees when glimpsing at the customers, who are very peaceful at their table and some of them are studying. 

"What are you doing?" I flip over to look at Taehyung, who's standing beside me. 

"Just staring at the customers," I mumble as I stride out of the counter and wander to Chrysler's direction, who's tidying up the table.

"Chrysler, can you replace me at the counter?" He responds with a nod and follows from behind me. 

He stands up in front of the cash register whilst I stroll inside the kitchen to have some lunch. I clasp my bag out of the locker and sit on the chair. Taehyung smiles at me as he places my lunch in front of me. 

"Thank you, Tae."

"Let's eat!" Taehyung exclaims as we start eating. 

Then, I pull my tumbler out of my bag as an envelope flows away. My hand reaches the envelope underneath the table and carefully looks at it. Taehyung, on the other hand, peeks at the envelope. Carefully, I open the envelope but before I could read the letter, he yanks the paper out of my hand and unfolds the letter. Then he clenches his fist that resulting in the paper crumples.

"Woah, don't do that! It was coming from Amia!" I stop him as I snatch the paper out of his hands and stretch it. 

My heart throbs when the letter is about the meet up between me and Chleo. What does she want? I keep avoiding her since I don't want her to be involved between me and Youngjae. I read the letter carefully even if it's only a sentence. 

"Let's meet up at the Graveyard Park near your apartment at 5 in the afternoon, 26th of March" I read the letter out before looking at Taehyung, who's sternly looking at the paper. 

"It's today," I mumble as I place the paper inside my bag before glancing at Taehyung. 

"Are you going?" He asks.

"Yes, and I want you to come with me." He smiled. 

"Of course."

After work, we go to Graveyard Park before 5 in the afternoon since Taehyung wants to know that she's alone or she's not with Youngjae.

"Tae, why did Chleo give a letter to Amia?" He sighs as he sits on the swing and also sits beside him. 

"I don't know. I can't think of any reason why Amia helped that sister of that man." I giggle as I stand up just to hit his head.

"She has a name and it's Chleo." He glares at me whilst massaging his head. 

"You don't need to do that!" I gasp when he wraps his arms around my waist as he leans his forehead to mine. 

Suddenly, I feel my heartbeat really fast when his hot breath crosses my face. Then, I cover his mouth when his lips slowly lean to mine. I smirk when I tickle his waist and yank me away. He glares at me as I run away from him. He just chuckles as he crouches again on the swing and I just pout.

But before I walk back at the swing, I hear a bell coming from the sidewalk. My heart lifts when seeing an ice cream truck. 

"Tae!" I call him as he strolls towards me. Shortly, he gets a different flavor of ice cream for both of us and walks back to swing. 

After half an hour, Chloe hasn't arrived yet and we're so weary waiting for her. Then, I pull out my phone to call her but no one is responding. 

"Where is she?" I murmur whilst looking around. 

"Was that her?" Taehyung points the girl walking towards my direction. Thus, my hand lifts as I wave at her and give a smile. 

I run towards her direction and exclaim, "Chleo!" And pulls her into an embrace as she hugs back. 

"I miss you Min!" She asserts as she loosens the embrace.

I smile at her and say, "Why do you want to meet me?"

Abruptly, she sighs as she heaves me close to her and sits on the bench, underneath the tree. I glance back at Taehyung, who's glaring at Chleo whilst crossing his arms. I shake my head in disbelief and glimpse back at Chleo. 

"Min, I know you're mad at Youngjae but please hear me out." I sigh and nod.

"I don't know the exact incident but he didn't do anything. He kept waiting for you at the meeting place and he suddenly realized that he gave you the wrong address." I raise my brows in confusion. 

'Why did she tell me this?' I ask myself. 

"The incident that happened to me has nothing to do with you, Chleo. It's between me and Youngjae." She sighs as her hand reaches my palm and clasps around it.

"I don't want to see my brother like this. He wanted to be close with you again so now I'm telling you to trust Youngjae again."

"It's not that easy Chleo. I can't just trust him just because you told me. But thank you Chleo for helping us to be close again but it was my decision if I accept him again or not." I say and stand up but before I could stroll out of the bench, she holds my wrist and comments, 

"Think about what you decide or you'll lament in the end. I'm here to convince you and also warned you. Be careful of what you wish for." I yank my wrist out of her palm and saunter back to Taehyung. 

"What happened?" 

"She wanted me to accept Youngjae's apology but I don't know if I want to accept it or not. It's complicated." He sighs as he pulls my body and nuzzles around me whilst caressing my hair.

I grin as I hug him back.

"It's going to be okay." He mumbles while caressing my hair as his head leans against my hair and bestows a peck. 

"Thank you, Tae," I whisper.
