I couldn't believe I was standing in his penthouse, in his bedroom, helping him arrange his wardrobe. He was wearing a plain white shirt and blue jeans, which was refreshing to see because till now, I had always seen him wearing suits. The informal dress was making him less intimidating, and I was able to breathe more. It was almost like five years before.
Almost.
"You sure have loads of clothes for someone who was literally homeless up till now," I said, trying to reach u
I opened the door to my apartment, and he followed me inside."It's sma
I Called in sick the next day since I didn't have the energy to drag myself even to bed after what had happened last night.Why was my life such a tragic comedy? Why did everything always go wrong? Most of all, why was I so freaking dumb? Maybe the answer was in the question, everything anyway went wrong because I was so freaking stupid.Somehow, I pulled myself up and crawled onto my bed. I felt too much pain to move a little, the coffee was too hot when it made contact with my skin, it left a mark behind. I stayed there all day, trying to figure out how to deal with the mess I had gotten myself into. A smart human would resign at this point and start their life from a scratch, no matter how difficult. But wasn't an intelligent human, I was still hoping to find a way. I didn't want to run away this time, I wanted to face it. As long as I was in Seoul, there was going to be a way to make things work out. There had to be. I just h
I told you to arrange them Alphabetically. How dumb do you have to be, not to understand that?" He threw away the files I had just put on his table after looking briefly through them.Three days didn't do anything to calm him down. He had become even more meaningful if anything. But I had to put up with it because I was the one who had brought us to this point."I thought... " I picked up the files one by one and held them close to my chest, looking down."You thought? Oh, so you do have that kind of ability? Thinking?" he asked in a sarcastic voice, looking up at me.I preferred to look at my knuckles instead of answering him."Answer me!" He roared, standing up and hitting the table with both his hands."I'm sorry...""Get out!" he said, rubbing his temple. At this point, he was angrier th
Somehow, I made it through the week.Mario called Saturday evening and asked me what I was doing that Sunday."I thought maybe I should go out and check the city... maybe the palaces..." Because my "foolproof" plan of avoiding him was now lying in the depths of a trashcan anyway, and I had decided to go a little loose on myself since nobody else would."Oh, great! I love palaces; I'll come with you... if you don't mind?""Uh... okay."Hanging out with him was always fun, but still... somewhere in my heart it made me uneasy. It wasn't because I was still hoping I could get back with Landon. It was probably because that boy had predicted it too accurately five years ago, that I would never be able to fall in love with someone else and I didn't want Daniel to get hurt because of me.---I
I invited Mario in for a coffee after taking me back to my apartment, and he accepted.I went up to the kitchen and began preparing my coffee while he sat on the couch in the living room.I took the spot with as much distance as possible away from him and placed the tray on the table, after letting him pick a mug."Landon didn't seem too happy when he saw you there..." he said, swirling the contents of the mug for a bit before sipping. It seemed as if he was avoiding any eye contact with me."Yeah well, you could say he doesn't like me a lot. What about you, he wasn't exactly nice with you either?" I asked, holding up a plate of cream puffs to him, which he examined for a few seconds and then politely declined."I'm afraid he doesn't like me too much either. I was worried maybe it's because of me he was mad at you.""Oh. Wh
LANDON'S POVI stood outside her apartment, both hands in my hair, wanting to shout at the top of my voice. Oh God, what did I do, she's hurt because of me. I never meant what I said. I did want her, so bad, but not in the way I told her. Even that day when I walked in on her
I am so bored here!" I whined, taking a handful of crisps from the bag and slapping them onto my face."You are one lucky bitch, but you don't even know how to appreciate it." rose laughed on the other side of the screen. She was holding seven months old girl, trying to feed her from a bottle while two four-year-old boys were running around her, making a lot of noise."I wish I had gotten married to a nice guy and settled somewhere. Maybe then...""Yeah, maybe you'd also be yelling at your kids right now through a video chat! WOULD YOU TWO STOP IT!" She yelled at the boys."You don't understand..." I sighed."Honestly I don't, like why would someone with a deadly handsome boss, a good job, living in a beautiful cosmopolitan city complain about their life. I mean I looked your boss up on google and my my, that's one charming guy there. I would so be o
Hey, I was looking for you" He said to her, I could feel him standing just behind me. His voice... it felt so calm and so sad..."Yeah me too. I don't even know why you left just like that. Where did you go?""Never mind.""Whatever" "she rolled her eyes "So here's your P.A.""I know."How could his voice be so calm?After everything that happened..."Alrighty Crystal, why don't you come to hang out with us?""No... I-I was leaving for dinner...""Just exactly what we were planning next! Come on, let's go!" She threw a hand over my shoulder, and as we turned around, my eyes met his.It felt as if my heartbeat stopped, as I let myself fall deep and still more profound in those dark eyes. And they almost mirrored mine.
