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 turned out that Yu Bin wasn't joking when he said the twins wanted to see me. When I stepped into Yu Bin's house, I was attacked by the minions; they ran fast towards me then hugged me with such strength that I almost fell down, thankfully, Yu Bin was by my side so he kept me standing.I was so excited to be aroun
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Yu Ri asked me, she had turned all mother bear on me.“Yeah, I just- uh, nostalgia,” I forced a smile. Yu Ri wasn’t falling for it.
I wasn’t going to lie, tutoring the twins was just a cover up for what I really did. Yes, I was tutoring the kids, but also, it was an excuse to see Yu Bin. I tutored the twins three times a week, for two hours, then hung out with Yu Bin for the rest of the day.I had been working for three weeks and I already earned
Yu Bin’s POVFinally, it was Friday, which meant Jumy was coming over to tutor the twins, and then spend time with me. She kind of made it clear that we couldn’t meet any other day of the week, only when she had to come tutor the
The end of the story was that Eric was mad. I could understand why he was mad, but I felt like he was overreacting.Yu Bin dropped me off at home, and I met Eric in the kitchen preparing soda and plates; he probably ordered pizza then. He asked me how my day was and then I innocently told him I ran into Ja
The table had become livelier, but the look on Yu Bin’s face told me he wasn’t enjoying himself. He never for once engaged himself in the conversation, he just ate, looked around, drank wine, nodded, smiled, then continued eating. For his sake, I wanted to leave.It turned out that two of the men that were seated arou
“No”No? No?? What the hell was “no” supposed to mean?
All the time I tutored the twins, it was at Yu Bin’s house, and he was always the one who received me, offered me water, food, then led me to the room where I’d tutor the kids. He’d also be outside the door, waiting for me to finish with my lectures for the day before we would find a way to spend the rest of the day. But as I stepped into the house, Yu Bin was nowhere to be found, and I had to let someone else, receive me, offer me water, and lead me to the room where I tutored the twins. I was hurt. Yu Bin was serious about giving me space; space I didn’t want and didn’t need. I wanted to be close to him all the time, but I c
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.
