Shortly after, Mirae left the club after hugging her friends. Not long after that, she heard someone call her name. Mirae turned around and saw that it was Hyunmin. She facepalmed herself because out of all the people who had to come or could have come, she didn't wanted Hyunmin to come after her.
"Do you want me to drive you home, Mirae?"
"No, thank you." Although Hyunmin was a nice guy, Mirae didn't like him. But he was sometimes overboard. He used to force her for a lot of things and he was doing so, even now.
If it would have been some other time, Mirae would have sighed and agreed but right now, she needed some time alone. She couldn't go with a guy who blabbered non-stop for a thirty minutes' drive.
"C'mon, Mirae! I will drop you. You can't go alone this time." Hyunmin walked closer to her.
He started forcing her. As Mirae walked quicker, Hyunmin also walked quickly and held her by her shoulders. While Mirae tried to remove his hands which were holding her body, she felt so agitated. She clenched her hands tightly into a fist trying to control her anger.
"I don't want to go!" She said and shrugged from his hold.
But when he went overboard, *PA* she lifted her hand and slapped him on his right cheek.
"When I say you to stop, YOU SHOULD STOPP!" She yelled at him.
However, Hyunmin didn't stop. Feeling his cheek resonating with pain, he tightly held her shoulders and screamed "Why don't you understand? All I am trying to do is help you, EUN MIRAEEE!" He began to drag her to his car.
Mirae winced with pain trying to remove her hand from his hold. "Ah!!! Stop it. You are hurting me. I said stop! STOP ALREADY..." She began to stop herself by applying more force on her feet and Hyunmin didn't give a damn about it and began dragging her by pulling her.
"She told you to stop, didn't she?" Just as Hyunmin was taking her to his car, a man interrupted them. He walked towards them and removed Mirae's hand from Hyunmin's hold. "Who are you? Don't interrupt us." Hyunmin threw daggers with his eyes and again held Mirae's hand.
The man who was wearing a suit and tie, unbuttoned his coat and cracked his knuckles. "You see, I had a very tiring day and your conversation is bothering me... A LOT! So, please stop it!" The man also again removed Mirae's hand from Hyunmin's hold and dragged her to his side.
Mirae looked at the man who was helping her and then at Hyunmin who looked as if he could lose his temper any moment and anything can happen.
"Who the f*ck are you, you a**hole?"
After having an unsuccessful meeting, James Park decided to cool his mind by visiting one of his regular clubs, but near the entrance, he saw a man shouting and hurting someone. In his thirty years of life, he never even once hurt a woman like this.
Well, he might have scolded or something but hurt someone who was very soft and agile like that.... he never did that. He couldn't do so. And when he saw something of this sort happening, he immediately thought to help the woman.
He walked towards her only to hear rude words coming from his mouth.
"I'm sorry but to help someone, I don't think I need to tell who I am, am I right?" James took a look at the frightened Mirae and then back at Hyunmin who was impatiently waiting for him to go just so that he can take Mirae along with him.
"Just give her to me and f*ck off, Mister!"
Seeing that, things were not coming to an end, Mirae thought that Hyunmin might do something to the man who was trying to help her so, she decided to walk back to Hyunmin. But just as she was taking a step, James blocked her path and
*POOF* like a punching bag, he punched on Hyunmin's face and Hyunmin fell down on the ground just like a mannequin losing its balance and falling to the ground.
Seeing Hyunmin fall like that, Mirae widened her eyes in surprise and she started to quiver. She felt her legs wobble as the same scene repeated in her mind again and again. She looked at the man who quickly unlocked his phone and swiftly moved his fingers on the screen.
"J, I need you to come and take this person to the hospital." James sent a voice recording on his phone and looked at the woman who was almost terrified after seeing what happened.
"Are you alright, Miss?" He asked being as polite as he could.
Mirae stepped back and slightly nodded. She then looked at Hyunmin who was lying down on the floor with his nose bleeding heavily. "W...Will he be alright?" She asked. Sweat forming all on her forehead and on her body. It was her first time to see something like this.
"Don't worry. He will be fine." James replied.
"Th...Thank you!" Eun Mirae struggled to find proper words for the man who helped her and began to walk. She noticed that a man had come and was taking Hyunmin on his shoulder inside his car.
This incident frightened her so much that she felt her legs going weak.
James looked at the woman who was terrified and was slowly taking steps and he walked towards her. The woman looked at him and became startled. "If you don't mind, shall I drop you home? I think you are still petrified over what happened."
****
Didn't know how it happened, but Mirae was now seated in his car. She needed some time alone so maybe that was why she thought it was better to be seated in a stranger's car rather than being seated in Hyunmin's car.
Well, this person whom she sat with, he wasn't that much of a stranger cause judging him by his looks, she could tell that he was some rich guy and someone very helpful after how he had helped her.
"Just drop me to the nearby bus stop, I will take a cab from there." Eun Mirae didn't wanted any more connections with this guy. Well, there won't be any connections also but still, it was better this way.
James did as told and he left after he saw her hailing a cab and sitting inside.
