𝐈 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐃 internally, regretting ever opening my mouth the second my eyes met his intimidating ones.
Stupid Yena, why can't you ever mind your own damn business!
"I'm here until late anyway and it would only give you more time to spend at work." I added, trying to seem as less intrusive and as reasonable as possible.
For all I knew, he may have thought of me as a stalker, given our many encounters, which, of course, were completely coincidental, but I wasn't so certain whether he was aware of that.
Evidently my proposal had startled him and knowing the extent of his pride, he contemplated for a brief second.
"And what would you want in return?" He said and I couldn't help but pick up the subtle bitterness in his voice.
"Oh no please, don't get me wrong. I'm only trying to help since it's convenient to the both of us. I love spending time with Jun and I'm sure he does too."
He looked down at his son bouncing up and down in excitement and he couldn't help but sigh helplessly. "Fine but only temporarily." He added before taking his leave.
I guess my plans of getting another job would have to wait...

I unlocked the door to my apartment and walked in only to see a familiar pair of shoes at the entrance. I slammed the door behind me and rushed in to face the unsightly face of my ex-boyfriend.
"What are you doing here, Yun Shin?" I crossed my arms against my chest trying to seem imposing despite being so far from it.
"Oh, Yena-! I, uh, came to get my stuff. Thought you were at university?"
I looked down gritting my teeth, unable to bare his presence any longer. "I quit. Turns out you were a bigger financial burden than I had hoped."
He gulped at my accusation. "I see...Anyway, I'll leave in a moment don't worry."
My heart sank watching him in such a rush to get out of here. Did he hate me that much? I wanted to ask him why he left me so abruptly but I was afraid. Afraid of how much the truth would hurt me.
"I'm sorry..." He said once he was done. I scoffed. Such a simple statement of apology, so vague, so meaningless. What was he sorry for? Breaking up? Wasting 3 years of my life? Making me feel so insecure and useless?
"Shin-!" I called for him as he was about to leave. "The keys."
His face fell disappointed as if he had expected me to say something else. "Oh right." He fished for the keys in his pockets and handed them to me, brushing our hands softly in the process.
"Goodbye, Yena." He said before leaving. I gave him a nod of dismissal, unable to speak or else he'd notice the pain through my voice and I wasn't ready to face that humiliation.
