50 I Will Never Forgive You

In the middle of the night, we depart back to Oregon and get back to work by evening. Also, this will be hectic for me since we traveled for fifteen hours.

After a long journey, I open my bedroom door, toss my suitcase on the ground, hurl myself on the bed and exclaim, Yes! It's been a while since I grope my bed,"

Then, I switch position and stare at the mirror as the curtains dance with the cold breeze. Despite being weary, I stand up and stroll beside the window.

"It's been a while since I've been sightseeing." I murmur as my chin leans on the window ledge whilst looking at the busy road since the apartment building is located near the road.

Suddenly, an unknown persona stands beneath the light pole, staring at my window. Gradually, I stand closer to the window, striving to glimpse near the light pole.

"Who could that be?" I ask myself whilst staring at the unknown persona. I close the window and stride outside the room. But before I could leave the apartment, a hand clasps my shoulder which makes me stop. Carefully, I look around and startle when seeing Jungmin with his both arms akimbo while glaring at me. I smile at him, scratching my nape.

"Where do you think you're going?" Says Jungmin as he wanders closer to the door and blocks my way.

"I'm just going—" I then cut off and run fast towards my room while ignoring Jungmin's shout.

Hurriedly, I close the door and lock the doorknob. My body slides on the door with an exhausted pant. Then, I take a deep sigh, calming myself.

"Why does Jungmin watch over me?" I murmur, glimpsing at the ceiling.

Within a second, I stroll towards the window, strive to stare again to see if I could see the unknown persona. Then, I slowly slide the curtain on the side before opening the window. My eyes wander the place to search yet it's nowhere to be found.

"That's odd," I whisper and walk back to my bed and have a nice sleep.

The evening passes yet it needs to work since Danielle asks me to work late.

"Good evening, what can I get for you?" I ask with a smile on my face whilst looking at the man, who's a good-looking man and in the early '20s.

"Can I have a medium Chai tea latte," he says

"What would be your name?"

"Mark," he informs whilst smiling.

"Coming right up!" I exclaim and prepare his order.

Afterward, I hand the prepared order to Chrysler and say, "Please give this to the man sitting beside the glass wall." He nods and walks to the man with his order.

Then, I stroll inside the kitchen, connects to Danielle's office. Slowly, I knock on the door and patiently wait for her response.

"Come in," she informs, I clasp the doorknob and open it.

Danielle glances at me with a smile forming on her lips. Then, I bow at her before crouching in front of her.

"Yes?" asks Danielle, before I speak, my mouth releases a deep sigh to release the tension inside me. She's just looking at me with patience.

"Hey Danielle, can I have an early leave today. I have a deadline in school if it's fine?" Hesitantly asks her without looking at her. She rubs her chin as if she's thinking before looking at the screen and glances back at me.

"I can call Araqiel to replace your position at 8 in the evening." My brows intersect with each other when hearing an unfamiliar name.

"Araqiel?" Ask her and so she cocks her head on the side. Hence, her eyes become wide as if she realizes that she says something's wrong.

"Nevermind what I said. I'll ask Taehyung to replace you by 8 pm since it's 7 in the evening." My hands connect as a sound coming from my hands.

"Thank you, Danielle, " I mumble. Then, I stand up and bow at her before strolling outside her office. Within a second, I reach the counter to help Precious.

———

After an hour, Taehyung arrives to replace my word so I could get back in the apartment before it gets too late. Shortly, I step inside the kitchen to greet Taehyung. As I reach the locker room, smile at Taehyung, and wrap my arms around his waist, back hugging. He chuckles as he switches his position and faces me. Then, he ruffles my hair with an enthusiastic smile wearing on his face.

"Do you want me to walk with you so I'm content that you are safe," I shake my head as an answer and give him a reassuring smile to convince him that I can go back safe and sound.

"I can walk on my own so no need to worry about. I'll be fine." He sighs as he leans his chin onto my shoulder as if he's sniffing my scent.

"Do you need to walk alone on the road? I mean, I can excuse myself so I could walk with you." I smile as my heart skips a beat knowing that he's being overprotective yet a caring one.

"It's fine Taehyung and besides it's only 8 in the evening so I'm not worried since there are so many neighbors outside." He then sighs in defeat and nods.

"Fine but if something bad happened to you. Just call me okay?" I nod, lean towards him, and wrap my arms around his waist, nuzzling closer to him.

"Thank you, Tae. I appreciate it." His fingers brush the strands of my hair and it soothes me.

"You're most welcome, Min. Take care okay?" I nod and loosen the embrace.

He leans his head towards mine as if he's going to touch his lips to my lips. Then, I close my eyes, feeling the hot breath across to mine but before our lips connect, a loud slam comes from the door, and hurriedly, we set apart when seeing Precious smirking at us.

"Okay, love birds stop being sappy and Taehyung, help me to our work." She instructs and her smirks never leave on her face. Her stares lock in our direction before walks outside, leaving us behind.

Suddenly, my heart throbs as my face feels the blood coming up to my cheeks that form into a blush whilst scratching my nape.

"I-I gotta go," I say while grabbing my bag without looking at him and walking outside the locker room. Hurriedly, stroll outside the shop.

Abruptly, I release a sigh to heave the tension inside me.

"I-it's e-embarrassing!" I stutter as my hands cover my face, striving to hide my embarrassment. Then, I tap my cheeks to remove my despised thoughts before sauntering to my apartment.

Suddenly, I hear footsteps from behind so carefully, my body swirls to check the persona. My eyes roll when seeing Youngjae, standing in front of me.

"What do you need, Youngjae?" I ask whilst my arms cross. He then sighs as he walks towards me yet I'm backing away from him.

"I just want a closure for both of us."

"I'm sorry Youngjae but my decision stays in the line. I can't trust you anymore. You put me into a black hole since I trust you but now…" I shake my head.

"I'm not giving you a chance." I sternly say before walking out but a strong fist grasps my wrist to stop me. I strive to yank his hand away but the more I fight, the more he tightens the grip.

"I-it hurts Youngjae." I murmur yet he doesn't listen.

"Please Minsoo. I'll do anything for your forgiveness."

"You don't need to do anything. Just leave me alone and don't touch me!" I yell, glaring at him but to my surprise, he pushes away my wrist. Then, my body flinches when he smirks at me.

"Y-your crazy. I wish that I never meet you." I mumble as I walk away. But before I could cross on the road, I hear a car rushing through my direction.

"AHHHHH!" I scream, run away and stumble on the floor when the car runs at a fast pace towards me that could hit me.

Luckily, the car doesn't hit me instead, it smashes through the light pole. My eyes wide, my body trembles when I'm almost hit by the car.

Slowly, I stand as my knees quiver and walk towards the car to check the driver. Yet, a shiver rushes down my spine when realizing that no one inside the driver's seat.

One thing I notice, Youngjae is with me before I almost get hit by the car. Thus, I turn around to search for Youngjae. And when I see him, my feet lead me in his direction and stand in front of him.

Then, I lift my hand, slightly swivel at the air and a loud slap touches his cheek that causes him to caress his cheeks whilst looking at me, shocked.

"I ALMOST HIT BY THE CAR AND YET YOU DIDN'T EVEN HELPED ME! HOW WOULD I FORGIVE YOU IF YOU ALREADY PUSHED ME INTO A HOLE TWICE!"

I take a deep breath to release my rage and add, "I will never forgive you, Youngjae. Never in my life wishes that I met you."

Promptly after, he walks closer to me as his hand slightly grabs my hair and brushes up to the last strand and says, "Then, you will regret not choosing me." And walks away.
