"Hey!" waved Minjae when he finally saw me and I slowly raised my hand to wave back.
I heard Shiwoo grunt is dissatisfaction when Minjae came over and hugged me ignoring them.
"Please sit. I am still waiting on my milkshake." I said as I pointed to the empty seat before me that was right next to Harin.
"How are you?" he asked still ignoring the other parties beside us and I decided to do the same thing.
I stole a quick glance to Shiwoo and saw that he had a look of annoyance and displeasure on his but I didn't care. I returned my glance to Minjae and gave him a warm smile chuckling as I spoke, "I'm fine Minjae. You're acting like we didn't see each other at the library yesterday."
He too chuckled and Harin scoffed, "library? Yeah right."
"Anyways," I said after giving her a side eye, "how did you get here so quickly even though you told me twenty minutes and where have you been?"
He looked nervous for a while and I rose my eyebrows edging for him to go on and not be afraid to tell me. I took a breath before scratching the nape of his neck, after finally mustering the courage to tell me, "okay promise me you wont be mad but I was with Lia. She asked me to come over."
I was silent for a while processing his words trying to gauge the right reaction when the barista finally called my name.
"Order for a Miss. Carter!"
I smiled at Minjae and was about to leave my seat to go and get my drink but Minjae beat me to it, "no no. Allow me."
Minjae went for my order and I once again left alone with these assholes and I was sitting there minding my business when I felt Shiwoo's hands snaking around my waist pulling me closer to him.
"What are you doing!?" I whisper yelled as he face was right there.
He smirked at obviously enjoying my distress, "you were way over there princess. I missed you."
I scoffed and tried to pry his hands from around my waist for I didn't want him strangling the baby, "let het of me you maniac. We were only sixth feet apart."
"Six feet is too much my love. Six feet is how far a dead is under the ground. Do you want to see me buried underground ground or do you want me buried in your tight little pus-?"
"Okay oaky I get. Keep it PG please for the love of God!" I cut him off for I knew where he was going with this and I hate to admit it, I liked it too much.
"Why are you with him huh? He was with Lia the girl you hate remember? What do you see in the little nerd?" he asked rubbing my side in a sensual way.
"I-uh-hmm-stop that!" I smacked his hand away trying to get a hold of my sanity, "I am not with him and incase you have forgotten Mr. Engaged that she is your whore."
"Was" he corrected and I rolled my eyes.
I looked over at Harin for a brief second remembering that she was hear and I saw her face as red as a tomato.
I seriously felt bad for her and I wanted this to stop but he didn't care, "Shiwoo stop Harin is right there."
"So?" he asked not feeling the least bit concerned.
"This is wrong and you shouldn't be doing this, especially since you guys are engaged to be married." I said shaking his hand off from my thigh that was stalking dangerously close to my vagina.
"Engaged by force Tally, not love and I don't have to marry her, just hold up my end of the deal and get engaged. Simple."
He was too close to my ear now and every word of his vibrated my stomach and I was fighting for m life at this point, "but this is public and just wrong."
"They can watch" he said placing a kiss on my forehead and I closed my eyes savoring the feeling.
I heard Harin gasped and my eyes flew open and I pushed Shiwoo away with all my force guilt washing over me and he smirked as he finally left me alone disheveled and heart racing as Minjae returned with my milkshake.
I quickly took it and took a big gulp feeling thirsty and dehydrated.
Minjae looked between me and Shiwoo raising his eyebrow at how close we were then my eyes widened and I hurriedly placed the milkshake on the table as I pulled my chair to its original place.
"So" I started trying to distract myself from what just happened, "what took you so long? I ordered it cold and now its Luke warm."
"Huh? Oh yeah. Sorry about that. I got a call." he apologized as he looked at Shiwoo.
They had a little male staring contest, maybe to assert dominance of who is the alpha or whatever before Shiwoo spoke, "so Minjae, who was this caller? Was it Lia."
I choked on my drink and Shiwoo held out his hand to pat me on the back but I held my hand up telling no thank you as Minjae gave me a napkin and I took it.
"Well yes it was Lia but not in the way you think." said Minjae lowering his voice.
Shiwoo turned to look at me with a look of, 'I told you so on his face' and I wanted nothing more than to smack him in it.
"No no, God no Minjae, but just to be clear. In what way was I thinking?" asked Shiwoo and could feel the tension getting thicker and thicker.
Minjae looked at me and I shook my head telling him to ignore him but then he ignored me instead, "come on man. You're obviously thinking that I am like you and I'm fucking her just like you."
I gasped and Shiwoo laughed, "don't worry man, you will never be like me."
"Oh no man. I should be the one telling you not to worry. You're no one's role model and I definitely don't want to be like anybody. Atalia likes me just the way I a dude. Can you proudly say the same?"
I saw Shiwoo's eyes darken and I knew that Minjae had crossed the line.
His face merged into a glare as sharp as a knife and as cold as ice as he hit the table aggressively standing up from his chair.
I was startled by his behavior but I couldn't say that I was surprised.
"Outside. You and me. Now!" he pointed at Minjae as he grabbed my hands pulling me outside with him.
"Hey Shiwoo don't be fucking stupid and just stop it!" I yelled when we finally got outside.
Harin and Minjae came outside and Harin ran behind him holding his shoulder, "Shiwoo baby lets just go home and get away from these simple people."
"Okay that's it! I've had enough of your attitude princess for it seems as if you have forgotten the last beat down. Minjae hold my drink!." I yelled getting ready for action but then Minjae pulled me aside and talked some sense into me.
"You're pregnant" he whispered and my eyes widened with realization and sigh calming myself down.
She got lucky.
Minjae left my side then turned to Shiwoo being the bigger person, "look I'm not gonna fight you man. We'll just leave the two of you alone so that you can continue your date or whatever.
"Oh you're not going anywhere with her" said Shiwoo giving me a daring look and I felt a familiar knot in my stomach.
How can I be feeling horny at a serious time like this.
"I'm taking her home man. You have done enough." said Shiwoo and he walked over to Minjae getting in his face.
"Oh I'm just getting started" said Shiwoo as he punched Minjae in the face then all hell broke loose.
Minjae quickly regained his balance and sung at Shiwoo earning him a punch to the stomach and he groaned as he held his stomach before charging at Minjae tackling him to the ground.
I stood there on the sidelines watching fight it out as Harin tried to break them apart calling for help.
I really did felt like interfering so I just made myself comfortable as I ate my cookie and muffin.
Two guys eventually came and broke them apart from each other and they were both bruised and beaten.
"Is this who like huh? He is who you want!?" yelled Shiwoo coming into my face and yelling.
"Look at me Atalia I'm talking to you!" he held onto my jaw and roughly brought my gaze to meet his furious ones.
"What does he have that I don't huh? Does he fuck you good is that it!? Are you fucking him!?" I stared quiet as I stared up at him refusing to blink or say a word.
He let go of my face before punching the wall and I jumped but kept a straight face.
Minjae limped over to where I was and I ran over to him helping him to sit glaring up at Shiwoo.
Shiwoo looked down at me as I held Minjae in my arms and I saw an emotion of heartbreak flash before his eyes before he shook his head in disbelief.
"So its really him again this time huh?"
I stayed quiet as he stormed off to his car getting in and slamming the door then drove off with a speed.
I sighed as I let go of Minjae and allowed his head to fall to the floor as tears began to stream down my face.
I couldn't hold it in anymore.
I cried on the floor for a few minutes blaming myself for everything when Minjae finally woke up and held my hand bringing me to the car.
I offered to drive him home and he allowed me to with out protest and so I did as I allowed him to sleep all the way.
Why does trouble always have to follow me everywhere that I go?
