chapter fourteen
N-Noona, I'm worried. Please don't cry, just tell me what happened," Minjae shook her head but Young-Jae couldn't see it so she pulled away and wiped the few tears that had rolled onto her cheek. The boy smiled a smile so reassuring that Minjae couldn't help but smile back.
"You're gorgeous dolled up or not, in a dress or in a pantsuit. You're always gorgeous," she threw her head back in a happy fashion and Young-Jae immediately realized just how easy she was to figure out even with her cold and rude frontier. He couldn't believe that a woman so strong and beautiful had tears in her eyes because her best friend didn't compliment her.
"By the way, Joon's been staring at us for quite some while. I think he wants a dance with the lady of the night," Young-Jae teased but Minjae's smile dropped and she hmphed, looking away in the most stubborn way ever.
"Ah I see

My hand slips through the cracks of the vases and windows we painted together with stolen glances and carefree smiles like quicksand. The fleeting moment of wanting you back is over before it started and the deep rumbling in my chest is back. I can't tell if I've swallowed you whole or if you've left yourself behind to merge with what's left of me. Whatever way it happened, I am now you and you are now nobody but a empty vessel, a Mirage of my desires in another billion. - "Did you like the party? I mean, were you satisfied with the work I did?", the boy was nervous in anticipation of the answer and there was no fucking way he had left something undone or unsatisfactory. Min Young-Jae wanted to be a perfectionist for a perfectionist like Minjae. "Honestly? You did an amazing job and I hope to see the same level of work done in the coming events," her professional tone slipped ou

Minjae's 'until next time' wasn't until the two weeks that followed it. Those fourteen days were the most boring ones out of his life with him not being able to even see her face for once. She wouldn't visit the shop anymore, not even Joon would show up. It was just Young-Jae and Jin working side by side eight hours a day.He would go straight home and then back to work, sometimes streaming on the webcam, sometimes just straight up passing out on his bed. The worst part of it all was that he didn't even have her number neither did he know the address of her office. On the seventh day, Young-Jae was bored out of his brain at the coffee shop when he received the text from 'Jaeminmin'.He had replied instantly which had further led to them having small conversations which turned into more friendly conversations and here he was, chatting away with her with his elbows rested on the counter in front o

Being in love as an artist is so defeating, so deafening and so beautiful at the same time. My muse is in my head, in my bed, everywhere. In my clothes their scent stays and the walls of my house cave in with the echo of his voice. It's like a noose around the neck that's pulled tighter I write about him. Without even trying, everything I write is about him. Everything I imagine becomes with him, for him or he himself. He'd call me crazy if he read all of it but in my madness, only he resides. So, who really is crazy here? The one that writes or the one that makes? - "I c-can't Jae, I can't. I tore him apart, I wouldn't even be able to look him in the eye. I'm already enough ashamed right now," Jess' eyes were trained on their feet as her hand stayed intertwined with Minjae's. "I'm so sorry I ran away. I just couldn't do it anymore." "All that matter

Young-Jae's head was on Minjae's arm, his arms were tightened around her waist with his nose tickling her neck softly. He was fast asleep, relaxed, and exhausted both while she stared at the ceiling wide awake silently sniffling to herself to avoid waking him up. She turned her gaze to him with a small sigh and laid on her side. "Young-Jae," she whispered to herself liking the way his name sounded on her tongue. It suited him just perfectly, a pretty name for a pretty boy like himself. Her fingers rubbed along his pouty bottom lip that was chapped up and his eyebrows clashed together in his sleep. She suppressed a giggle and reached behind, on his nightstand to pull her chapstick out of her blazer's pocket. She held the back of his neck and tilted his head up to coat his lips in the mildly coloured balm. He sleepily smacked his lips together before a

The last time someone held me close and tight, it was him. It was him in his checkered shirt and blue jeans. It was him in his growing hair and shiny eyes. He held me so tight, bones crushing mine and i was afraid to tell him it hurt as much as I loved it. The intimacy of our silence, only faintly accompanied by the puffs of air we let out against each other's skin, would've been like water rippled by a skipping stone. Was it not him stepping away, I would've wept, shaken and screamed in agony that would've drenched his shirt and made his brows crease in the most familiar way ever. - "W-What do you mean by that?", he knew exactly what she meant but he just couldn't accept it, not when he was completely whipped for her. Minjae licked her lips nervously and tried explaining it to him again. "It means I want you to be my sugar baby," he stayed silent after that and clenched his jaw

"We're actually fuck buddies as of now, he stumbled into my apartment by mistake one day, and then bam, the two of us were drunk and naked," Jess giggled softly and rubbed her flushed cheeks with the back of her fingers. "Oh! you've met him too! Remember the guy who was with me that day we met?" she asked, excitedly grabbing Minjae's hands. "O-Oh? That's good to know, he's cute," she smiled painfully stretching her lips up in a curve. "Fuck cute, he's amazing in bed," she whispered and hid her face behind her palm. "Mhm, I know about that alright," she mumbled under her breath, bitterly giggling along with her through her gritted teeth. "He's not very well off though," she commented, scrunching her nose up in disapproval and Minjae almost scoffed right in her face. "I mean he's amazing for

I would've let him touch me, gentle and cherished like i want to be. I would've closed my eyes and let his hands find way into my hair. I would've, I would've, i would've told him I loved him right there and then. I would've, could've done so much I couldn't for this heart is a bearer, it will bear you stepping in and it will bear you leaving. It is you, afterall. So instead, when you moved to let me breathe, I blinked and hid it with a smile. - Enigma. The word rolled around in her head like a bullet through the glass and it shattered completely when her eyes open. She fixates his pupils onto the fan in the center of the hotel ceiling and sighed in exhaustion. Minjae wondered how he ended up where she was despite all the want not to be. A weird dull ache is present in her chest and it only gr

"Young-Jae!"She had started yelling way before entering the cafeteria and now that she was inside but couldn't spot him, Minjae's heart was clenched in worry. She felt nauseated by the thought of him being so overworked that he fainted. Kim and Joon followed her quick on their feet but not as quick as her. She felt her eyes prickle with tears when she found him lying on the floor with a very worried Yeon who was rubbing his hands softly."Young-Jae!", she exclaimed and dropped all worries about her image as she engulfed him in her arms. Yeon softly took a few steps back and let Minjae take over. He watched her and Joon pick Young-Jae with his arms around their shoulders and smiled in relief."Damn, how much has he been working?", Kim asked pulling Yeon along with them into the car. The three of them took their previous positions with Young-Jae's head resting in Minjae's lap and his feet in Ye
