❝Last Long❞
____________

JUST TWO DAYS LEFT, somehow, I didn't want to leave just yet. I wanted to stay and help him throughout, until he's better and smiling, until he can live without me. He's just like a child, finding warmth in the world, he blames himself like a child, even though he knows it isn't. I want to help him remember nothing's his fault, everything is alright and he's fine.

"Jungkook?" I called him out, peeking inside his office. He looked up from the laptop, smiling. "What are you doing here?" He asked, I shrugged and entered the office. "Lunch?" He nodded, "Give me five minutes." I nodded, "I'll wait outside for you." He nodded again.

I walked out of the office, walking towards the exit, it was still uncomfortable if by chance anyone bowed for me or smiled at me, but I tried to best to act normal and smiled back.

"Haerin?" I paused as I walked out of the building, turning to meet Jungkook's step mother. I bowed a little at her. She smiled at me, "What are you doing here?" She asked, "Ah, nothing, just lunch. What about you?" I smiled, feeling awkward.

"Just here and there." She laughed. "I heard that your divorce is near the end of the week, is that right?" She raised her eyebrows. I tilted my head, "That..that's a difficult question, nothing's decided yet." She knitted her brows. "Why? You still want to live with him after finding out how he's sick? That's really weird of you." She said, smile dropping.

"You know...there are plenty of other, rich girls who are eagerly waiting for this divorce, I'll appreciate if you'll get quick in getting out of his life. It's all about the money anyway." I felt the back of my muscles twitch, my palms itching and jaw hurting from smiling too widely.

I rubbed my lips together, probably smudging the lipstick all around my lips, "Why are you so desperate when you think he's sick. I'll take care of it, me and him divorcing or staying together should not be your concern, and no, he's not sick, just a bit shocked. It'll pass soon, he'll get over it and be the best boss this damned company of yours will ever get, now, about those rich girls, there must be plenty if rich boys waiting for them eagerly, I'll take care of him, and you take care of those rich girls, now, that's settled."

I smiled, turning on my heels before I turned back to face her, "And one more thing, rather than worrying about me getting money, worry about your own self. When his father could leave his mother without any pain, he wouldn't mind leaving you for some rich, young chick too. Don't you think you should worry about your own money?" I smiled at her.

"Hae-" Jungkook paused when seeing her, "You're out, let's go." I smiled at him, grabbing his hand, glaring at his mother one last time, I pulled him along with me. For some sick reason, her calling him sick made my head spin, it's a big thing that I didn't break her neck or something.

"What were you doing with her?" He asked while chewing on the burger, I shrugged, "I just met her out of a sudden. But she's really.. " I paused, sighing. "A b*tch?" He smiled, I nodded, "Yeah, kind of." I smiled.

"Are you fine?" I asked him, he nodded, "Yes, I'm not sick, I told you." He said, "Yeah, you're not." I muttered, nodding and agreeing with him.

Even if he was, I'll be with him, in the bad, I'm the good or in the worst, we'll both make out of it. I know that.
