chapter eleven
I've started to miss you Pieces of you The fleeting touches I've started to miss them again. This time, I'm not sure if I'll ever not miss them. You stay next to me with me in your arms but your eyes search for somebody else, something else. Do you need more? Or do you need less? Do you need me? Or do you need her? What do you see when you look at me? Are you looking at me or are you looking at yourself in the mirror behind us? What do you want when you part your lips but never speak? What do you wish for when your eyes shine beneath me but you forget me the next minute? Do you see me? Or do you see another her? I've started to miss your touch, every second every minute. It's poisonous because what do you see when you look at me? Do you see me or do you see another her? - "Are we doing it right here?", he panicked, for the first time, he was so nervous about sex. Why? He had no idea either.

chapter twelve
Justin! Why are you here if you can't do anything properly?", Minjae's scream echoed through the complete shop but fortunately, it was empty. Justin shivered deeply, he swore even Minjae could've heard his heartbeat but what could he do? He was new to working one-on-one with her anyway. "I-I'm sorry Ma'am. It's just that this is m-my first time working with you," he stuttered and she took in a harsh breath before clenching her jaw. She tried to calm herself down by fisting her hands but it didn't work either. "Stop stuttering Justin, I promise I'm not always this rude. It's just I have a lot of work to be done today and you're not helping it," she mumbled coldly, her upfront forward tone stinging like a bitch but her words weren't as harsh as her tone. As soon as Justin had scurried off in hopes of finding the white chairs she wanted, Minjae sat down on the

chapter thirteen
My December doesn't feel the same without, come take me back. When was it when I saw you last? The last month? The beginning of December? Will I ever see you again? And if I do, will you be the same? Will you be just as forgiving? Just as sweet, honey dripping from your lips like you've spoken an octave higher? What is it that will change about you? Would you let me love it? Would you let me love you, still? Would you let me love you more than I do now? Would you let me love you more than she ever did? Would you let me love you as much as I wish I could? Would you let me in?  - Young-Jae?", she hurried to him, followed by Kim who was previously pestering her to climb up the stairs and change into the dress he just bought for her, knowing damn well she would try to act professional and end up wearing the same clothes she wears every day.    "You sho

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

chapter fifteen
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

chapter sixteen
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

chapter seventeen
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

chapter eighteen
  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

chapter nineteen
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
