Chapter 8 : Acquaintances
It's Sunday again and I have the entire day to bore myself once more. Well, that's what I thought when I saw Yoongi's messages on my phone.
He's coming to visit!
Immediately, I took a bath so that I can buy some snacks outside. In the end, I decided to buy two boxes of donuts and one large size of pepperoni pizza. I went back home with a handful of foods and all I had to do next was to wait for my friend to arrive.
Two hours after lunchtime, someone rang the doorbell and I automatically squealed before opening the door. Quickly, I cling onto Yoongi and he was caught by surprise.
My attention was suddenly diverted from him when I heard a dog barking outside. "Holly! Oh my god, I missed you too, puffball!" I screeched and carried him in my arms.
"I'm suddenly jealous," Yoongi mumbled and I glared at him.
"Shoo, where's Little Meow?" I curiously asked him.
"Oh yeah, I forgot she's still inside the car." Yoongi ran away back to his car.
"How dare you!" I yelled. As I continue to rock Holly in my embrace, Yoongi finally appeared with a pregnant Little Meow. "What the hell? Who's the father?" I exclaimed and I gaped in disbelief when Yoongi just shrugged.
We both entered inside and we placed the animals on the floor so that they can freely roam around my house. Once the visitors stayed put, I entered the kitchen to grab the snacks and I placed them all onto the center table in the living room.
I gestured for Yoongi that he can now eat and that's what he did. "So, what brings you back here in Los Angeles?" I asked before having a bite on my chocolate sprinkled donut.
Yoongi has been working for his family's company in Colorado. Later on, he'll face the same fate at his friend, Jimin. I recalled him saying to me that his father is training him to be the next CEO of Min Real Estate.
"Oh, I've been assigned to manage a project here in Glendale." I continued to munch on my food with wide eyes.
"Really? So you're staying here?" I crossed my legs on the couch as I stare at him while waiting for his answer.
"Can we? Can we stay here for a while?" I almost choked down on my food as my forehead narrowed at his statement. Grabbing another donut, I asked back.
"When you said we, you're referring to Holly and Little Meow, right?" He laughed shortly before nodding. "Okay, cool. There's enough room for them in the guest room. As for you, you can have the couch."
He sneered at me for a second. "I'm kidding. You can have the guest room, Holly and Little Meow cam sleep with me." I chuckled. Upon hearing her name, Little Meow jumps on the couch and sits on my side.
"Can't I sleep with you instead?" An evil smile stretched onto his face and it vanished when I tossed a throw pillow on his face. "Hey!" He complained and I just stuck my tongue out.
We catch up about the things we've missed in our lives, although I haven't told him about Jimin being my client. It looks like he has no idea and if ever I informed him about it, he'll worry about me and his friend. I don't want that for Yoongi.
At first, I never thought of Yoongi being entertaining at all. Two years have passed but he is still the guy that would sleep at the highest room of a place while a party is occurring underneath him.
There is just something that made me fond of him. Perhaps it is his brutal honesty and laid back personality that I admire about him since I don't have any of the two.
While he is outside gathering his luggage to place inside the guest room as his temporary abode, I made my way into the bathroom to empty my bladder. Once I finished doing my business, I went back to the living room only to see a different guy eating the pizza.
We both stared at each other for a moment, words aren't coming out from our mouths not until it was Yoongi who came out from the guest room with a smile who broke the silence.
"I found Jimin waiting outside," Yoongi smiled, showing his cute gums. "How have you been? It's been like two years and you weren't even contacting our group." He sat down on the solo couch adjacent to Jimin's.
"Yeah, never thought I'll be seeing two of my old acquaintances today." He said as he placed his unfinished pizza back on the box. "Dad has been an asshole, he kept me really busy. How about you? What are you doing here?"
The two talked as if I wasn't there. I sit down and just listen to their conversation but my eyes were on Jimin. Sometimes, I would laugh silently along with the two whenever they're talking about funny things. If not, I'm busy petting Little Meow in my arms.
Fifteen minutes passed by like that until Holly started barking at his owner. Jimin, on the other hand, was getting pissed at the noise and it's very evident at his face. "He's hungry. I'm gonna go out and buy him his food, do you want to come?" Yoongi looked at me.
"Sur—"
"No, we'll stay here. We have a matter to discuss." Jimin was the one who answered for me. Yoongi looked at me with anxiousness but I smiled bitterly at him to say that it's okay.
Once Yoongi stepped foot out of my house, aside from me and Jimin, only a noisy Holly and a sleeping Little Meow were left inside.
I saw Jimin trying to stand up and before he could even come closer to me I warned him. "Stay in your place," I said through gritted teeth and he smirked before ignoring my order. "I said stay!"
I huffed when he is already sitting next to me. "Didn't I tell you to stay?"
"Me? I thought you're talking to Holly." He sarcastically remarked.
"What are you doing here?" Instead of answering me, he leaned his head forward towards mine and I quickly jumped out of the couch. "Jimin, stop with your absurd habit of flirtation!" I exclaimed.
Just one move from him and I'm already blushing red. My face feels hot and I have to get away from him as soon as I can.
What happened in Montana is something that I regretted. He treated me like trash and nevertheless, I still feel the same about him. What is wrong with me?
I placed my hands on each side of my waist as I stare at his smug face. "Please, if you'll just taunt me, I'd advise you to just go away. I've only wanted your forgiveness and after that, I'll forget everything between us."
His face started to look serious like mine.
"Don't make it your life's mission to ruin me, because the moment you said you're over me, I already lost, so please if you're going to be like this, leave my poor heart alone."
He sneered at me before standing up and moving a bit closer in my presence. "First, I'm saying sorry because I can't do what you asked me to. Second, it's not a mission, consider it as a payback."
Hearing those words from him makes my heart hurt even more as I stayed frozen in my place. His loathe towards me will never fade, isn't it?
He took another step, "Lastly, I'll make you fall for me so deep that you'll never find your way out."
His hand caressed my cheek. "And when you did, I'll break your heart the way you did with mine."
A tear jerked from my eye and he wiped it with his thumb. An unreadable expression plastered on his face before he walked out of my house.
