"You have a nice place. I can't help but notice the pictures on that wall, he's your boyfriend, yes?" Yu Bin asked me while sipping his coffee that I knew was cold; okay not cold, but not hot either.
"Eric? He's not my boyfriend, he's my best friend and roommate," I smiled. Yu Bin looked a little too uncomfortable by the news, but he recovered quic
Finally, the day I dreaded the most came; it was Monday.Unconsciously, I woke up early; something I had never done before. I had a warm shower and got dressed in comfortable clothes. I stupid legs dragged me outside to take a stroll; at that point, I knew that the universe was hell bent on making my life more miserable than it already was. I never took strolls i
At 7pm sharp, there was a knock on my door. Luckily enough for me, I was bored and jobless when Yu Bin called, so I had a lot of time to get ready. I put on this boring dress that Eric got for me when I was giving him a hard time. It was an unnecessarily long, strapped flowery dress. It wasn't the dress for any night occasion, but I didn't care; it's not like I was going to see my boyfriend or something.
“Thank you for dinner, I really enjoyed it,” I smiled at Yu Ri, pushing my plate backwards. I kept my eyes away from Yu Bin on purpose, the man confused me; Like why the hell do you keep looking at me while you eat?“I’ll take my leave now, thank you for having me,” I told them, pushing my chair backwards to stand up.
The type of guts Eric had, scared me, the man was late for work, he was two hours late and yet he sat crossed legged in the living room, cuddling me as we watched tv. His lateness was eating away at me, but I needed the company so I shut my mouth.While watching tv, my phone went off, ringing loudly.
Eric was indeed a sappy fool, because he came back home two days later, after going out with a woman he had been talking to in his office, talking about how amazing this lady was and how he could already see himself really liking her. It was the first time Eric was happy about meeting a woman, he was proud of himself.
When I woke up the next morning, the first thing I noticed was that I wasn’t at home, I wasn’t in my room, on my bed; I was in a strange room, on a strange bed, next to a... Yu Bin?The fine man had his hair scattered all over the place, with his lips slightly open as he took silent breaths. Yu Bin looked
“I was just about to put up an ad for my missing best friend, and another one for a new roommate,” Eric’s voice greeted me when I stepped into the house.“Okay chill! It’s not like I went to Barbados without telling you,” I rolled my eyes at him. I had finally gotten home after acting awkwardly around Yu Bin
Monday came again, and I was unemployed once again. Looking for a job was not in my list because I knew the shit I had to go through to get that teaching job; looking-for-job stress was not something I wanted to go through again. I hated it with all my heart. I could only pray and hope that a job would miraculously come to me somehow.
It was a Thursday, not just any Thursday, it was my birthday Thursday; and since I was back in town, Mrs London took it upon herself to celebrate my birthday. She said she was trying to make up for all the years she lost.I tried to explain to her severally that I wasn't dating her son anymore
My parents and I were nowhere near healed or healing; but there was a little progress in our relationship and that was fine by me. I didn’t mind the baby steps we were taking.The whole neighborhood knew I was back home, as my dad kept sending me on errands everywhere. A lot of people thought I was risen from t
Living life without Jumy was pointless. There was hardly anything I was excited about, it annoyed the hell out of me, but for some dumb reason best known to me, I couldn't bring myself to call her. I was a coward. I didn't know how to face her after believing everything I saw, without trying to know her side of the story.
Nostalgia hit me as I stepped out of the cab. The atmosphere was just as I remembered it, thin and nice. I was in constant conflict with myself, a part of me wanted to go into the house,the other part, not really. It was more of a “ditch them the same way they ditched you and never turn back,” type of thing. I really wanted to ditch them, but I needed them.
“You have to tell me everything that happened and how it happened,” Eric was serious. He didn’t have the habitual soft aura he always had towards me. Eric and I were on our way home; all I wanted to do was collapse on my bed before the memories haunt me and end up killing me for real this time.“Let’s get home first,” my
Yu Bin’s POV:
It was a Monday, the day Blaire and I picked so I’d take the gold from Yu Bin for her. I had to summon all my courage and tell myself that I was doing it for Yu Bin and I, I was doing it so Blaire would leave us alone. It was like a chant in my head; it worked out pretty fine. I got dressed for work as usual, and headed to Yu Bin’s mansion.
After crying and wallowing in self pity, I got up from my bed to clean up and look a tad bit presentable before Eric’s came home. Yu Ri and Yu Bin called me over a thousand times, I didn’t pick up, I couldn’t pick up. I knew Yu Bin was going to want to come around to see me, so I texted him quickly, telling him I was PMSing, and I didn’t want him to see me that way. It worked the trick; lord knew I wouldn’t be able to face him if he came around.
Immediately I got home, I pulled out my phone to call Yu Ri, I couldn't face any of them, not while I was contemplating stealing from Yu Bin for Blaire. I couldn't go teach her children in the state I was in, I'd make a lot of blunders and they'd find out that I planned to steal, then they'd also find out my secret.
