Pride & Prejudice (ChanBaek)

12: Consequences

I couldn't sleep these days.... *sigh*

Since that night.... When I unluckily heard Inseo's conversation, it's hard to face him at home.
I .... My instinct automatically avoid him... these days.
I go back home when it's about time for him to sleep... or spent most of my times in my study room.

"Director nim"

"Yes?"

"Tonight... you have annual family dinner"

"I don't think I'm going"

"Sir, your parents will be there too. May be you should go this year sir"

"I'm definitely not going. No more words about that"

Annual family dinner...
This family tend to be busy throughout the year so it's rare for all of the members to gather.
So, chairwoman made a day when we all should leave for a time every year.
The chairwoman and her 3 daughters' families will be there.
I will see two aunts and their husbands... and two cousins.

Plus, chairwoman started calling my mother again for this meet up since last 3 years ago.
That's when I completely stopped attending that.

I don't want to see them.
No, I don't need to see my parents.
It's not because I hold grudges for abandoning me.
It's just, I don't have no emotional attachments to them anymore.

"Sir"

"Mr. Wu!"

"I'm sorry for overstepping again"

"No... you can leave now"

"You have one appointment sir, you said you will have to take Park Chanyeol ssi's team to our mall for their survey"

"Ah... right..."

"Yes. It's in 15 minutes"

"Okay. Tell them to wait at parking lot. I will come down"

"I will drive sir"

"No. The car won't fit. I will just drive"

*Message*

'Hyung, are you busy? Will you be back for dinner? Can you come back for dinner time? Since I moved in, I couldn't even see and spend time properly. I miss you.' Inseo

I can't help but.... wanting to avoid
I'm scared to face the reality.
That..... that he will be leaving me either way... after getting what he needs.
I don't want to ..... give up....
Even if he needs me for money..... may be I can..... I can endure everything.....
so at least... he will be with me somehow..

It's hard...
It's ...... very.... Suffocating.
I hated being rich.
And I'm still hating everything.
What if I have nothing ?

Who will still be with me?
It's scary even with the thought.... Because I know no one will be.

I sigh out loud "Well... I should get going now" I say to myself and go down to car parking.

Right, the kid.. Park chanyeol.
It will be a bit awkward to meet him..
He completely shut me out that day when I went to his house.
May be because he already got a girlfriend.

Kids these days..

————————Chanyeol's POV—————

"Sorry, did I take long?"

Director nim finally arrives at the car parking. We were waiting for him to go visit the mall.
Actually we could just go by ourselves but, he said he had to meet with mall's person in charge.
