A week has passed since our reunion. He came by more and more often. I was so happy that I got to see him every day and earn money at the same time. I wouldn't change this job for anything in this world.
In the beginning, I would just bring him his drink and we would exchange a few words. But as time passed by, he started being my company during lunch breaks. The time I used to spend studying and preparing for college was now replaced with Suga. Not that I mind. He would sit next to me and we would talk about different topics. That was my favorite part of the day. I loved his voice and presence.
Not just those two, I liked everything about him.No, I love everything about him. I was in love with him. It's not the same if you like someone and if you love them. I. LOVED. HIM. Too much. With each day, that love for him grew more and more. He's cold and somehow introvert, but with me, he wasn't like that. With me, he was open, sweet, and playful. We spoke about many things and became friends. Well, I still don't know his real name though.
"Jiminnie!"
I look at him and smile, but once my eyes landed on a guy next to him, my smile faded. No... What is this feeling? Why are my eyes started to feel watery? This hurts. My heart hurts, a lot. I started breathing heavily, but I wiped away my tears once I saw him calling me to come over. I put down the things I was holding and walked over to them.
"Hey..." I somehow managed to say, although my heart my breaking. Who is this person you brought with yourself? Is he the one you chose?
"Hey. Why were you crying? Is something wrong?"
"Yeah, it is," everything is wrong. Why is he the one standing beside you and not me? If only I could tell you that. "Just the smoke here made me cough and made my eyes watery a bit. Nothing serious."
"If you say so. Bring us two vodkas, but first, let me introduce you to someone. Jimin, this is Hoseok. Hoseok this is Park Jimin."
"Hi Jimin. It's nice to meet you" Hoseok said, extending his hand with a bright smile.
"It's nice to meet you too." Not really. It's not nice. I hate you. I want the earth to swallow you. I want you to disappear and never come back again. I want you to leave Suga alone and never show your face in front of me again.
I smile then turn around to go and get their drinks. Why? Just why? The tears started falling again but I wiped them away. Stop it Jimin! He doesn't even love you! I took a deep breath before taking their drinks over to them.
"Sit down with us."
"Later," I refused coldheartedly in a way someone may think they killed my whole family and I just wanted them to die. But it wasn't like that. This was the first time I refused him. It is all because of that Hoseok guy who showed up out of no where. Suga looked at me confused but I just turned around and left.
The whole time, I kept looking at him. And I know that Hoseok noticed it as our eyes met a few times. But I didn't really care. All I cared about right now is finding a way to have these two separated. And out of all days, it happened that today we didn't have that much customares in. I couldn't even get myself pilled up with work to not think about them.
"Damn, Jimin. You look so pitiful right now," I whispered to myself while staring at the glass I was washing. Just like this lipstick on the glass, you glued yourself with Suga and he washed you away. What did I even expect? It's not like I'm special in any way.
"Jimin!" a voice called for me from behind which made me turned around. "Can you come with me for a second?" Hoseok asked although it sounded more like a demand. I nodded my head and followed him into men's restroom.
Once we were in, he stood up in front of me. He was taller than me for about 15 centimeters. The height difference between us made him look more dominant. He was staring at me with stern expression, his dark brown hair falling in his eyes on the edges. Now that I look at him closer, he indeed was handsome. He had a nice figure which was being shown off by the tight shirt that was tucked in the leather jeans he was wearing. How could I even compare myself to him?
"You like Suga, don't you?" he finally spoke up, breaking the tension between us. I kept silent for a few moment, before my brain processed his words. The question itself wasn't what caught me off guard. It was the tone he spoke with. I thought he would yell, be angry at me, but he wasn't. He spoke with a soft voice.
"WHAT?! No! Wh-why does y-you think that?!"I tried to answer without stuttering, however I failed instantly the moment I opened my mouth. Great.
"C' mon... It's obvious! It's really cute." he stated, once again showing me that same smile from back when Suga introduced us to each other.
"Wait! You two aren't together or something like that?" he looked at me weirdly then started laughing uncontrollably. Great Jimin. You just embarrassed yourself.
"Me? And him? Hahahahaha... No! Of course not."
I smiled awkwardly. I was overreacting without any reason. I am such an idiot. It must have hurt him earlier with the way I spoke. I should apologise as soon as possible.
"So, that means you like him?" he asked again.
"Well, yes..."
"Ahh..! Great! Let me help you!!"
"What?! No!"
"C'mon! You two would make a cute couple! It's obvious how much you love him."
"I'm that much obvious?"
"Yup. So? What do you say?"
"No, I wanna do this alone."
He sighed at my response. "Okay then. Good luck. But let me tell you one thing. Suga is no ordinary guy. You should be careful. This is not a threat, just a friendly warning." he explain with a serious expression for the first time. "Now then, I'll see you around." with that, he left, leaving me behind with a blank expression.
What does he mean by that? I wonder...
