Am I that detached to reality?
We agreed to keep our home free from men to avoid complications that may arise and I don't remember her complaining about it.
"I'm sorry…"
Sooha fidgeting her fingers while looking down was so foreign to me. It's either she's become submissive to K or she's guilty for cheating on him this early.
Ex and used condom doesn't belong in the same sentence but I chose to keep it to myself for the meantime.
"I think you need to sort things out."
K spoke a bit calmer this time. Sooha helped tend the guy's bruises on the couch and I thought that was the end of it until he turned his head towards me and scolded me like a child.
"You made it look like you were almost raped!"
"I-I didn't know…"
Was all I can say. I'm partly at fault that man got into a fight with him but there's nothing I could do to change it.
He was about to say something when the guy spoke about leaving and I suddenly felt nervous. Sooha kept apologizing to him while guiding him towards the door.
K on the other hand looks like he doesn't care at all. Instead, he ran his squinting eyes over my body and shook his head.
"Get inside!"
"Huh?"
I wasn't ready when he pulled me upstairs to get a change of clothes in my bedroom.
"Please go home now."
I said as soon as I got in and while gripping my fingers over my chest to keep the towel intact because it loosened a bit earlier.
"No. I won't leave while that guy's still here."
"Look, I think you're forgetting the fact that he could sue you for damages. You should leave now and avoid any potential problems while you can."
I begged and hoped he'd listen.
Judging by the current events, he's definitely still bound by that seven-year contract with his multibillion corporation and any wrong move could ruin everything he have worked for all these years.
"We need to talk. But first, get dressed."
"K,"
I sighed deeply.
"Please leave the room at least. We're not even together anymore and your girlfriend is literally waiting outside."
"Tending her ex you mean?"
K said sarcastically.
"Ironically we're doing the same. She just got no idea but isn't that worse?"
"I'm not really dating her. It was a lie but it served it's purpose."
"W-what?"
I was surprised and with all honesty a bit happy to hear that. However, that would mean that everything that happened today was all for nothing.
And I almost lost a friend because of it.
"Ok I get it so please just go."
"You can't make me leave."
K sat and folded his long legs in front of the door and guarded it like a big dog.
"K why are you doing this?"
As much as I want him to stay, the way he's acting is giving me anxiety.
"I want everything cleared up before I go back to the dorm. For both our sakes. So put something on before I lose my mind."
My blood shot into my head in embarrassment.
I rummaged the drawer for a pair of pajamas and underwears even though I usually don't use brassieres when I'm sleeping, then put them all on inside the bathroom as quickly as possible.
I might've come back way faster than I should and the evidence is plastered on K's lips.
"I told you I don't plan to leave at all."
"It's not like that!"
My cheeks flared even more as his smirk widened.
"You shouldn't stay here. It's too dangerous. What if someone followed you?"
"No one even knows I'm here."
He spoke too confidently I started wondering if his trip here was in pure secrecy. Like he ditched his crew just to confront me. I can literally see the chaos within the building by now.
"There's no way the managers would let you wander anywhere outside the HQ without security."
"Fuma's with me."
"What? Where?"
"His car's waiting at the corner lot."
"Why didn't you say so?"
I rushed towards him and attempted to open the door. I thought I could use that as an excuse to break free but he swiftly and smoothly tugged me onto his lap.
"Let me go…"
I intended to yell but my voice came out as a whisper as soon as our eyes met.
"I'm sorry."
K's gaze softened, causing my heart to skip a beat. His left eyelashes are stuck to his long bangs and it was a struggle for me to not move it away.
"I'm sorry I was rude to you. I was so devastated to hear that you blackmailed the company-"
"What even-"
"Someone told me you asked for a large sum of money and I never believed it until I saw the shop."
"Well- in a way I received money as a compensation for losing my job."
K frowned at me. I quickly explained before he gets mad again.
"The HR told me that someone at the media is cooking something to end your group's careers especially Fuma. They said they have evidences that we are dating."
"Really?"
"Of course that's not true. We were just eating ice cream at the park that time to celebrate his debut. Apparently, they found a photo while surfing on the internet by some student."
"Wait, it doesn't make sense. Lately, anything can be photoshopped. The company could easily deny any rumor."
"Yes. I think so too. But they had no further explanation and my mind is too preoccupied to listen anyway."
I was still talking when K's pocket suddenly vibrated. It moved underneath my left leg so I flinched in surprise. I accidentally elbowed his stomach and K grunted in pain.
I panicked and held his abs without thinking and now I'm regretting everything.
