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
I could finally sleep in peace. Yu Bin wasn’t angry with me, and he had given up on that stupid space he talked about earlier. It was at that moment that I knew that I didn’t care about what might happen in the future, good or bad; I just wanted to be with Yu Bin all the time. He made me feel better about myself in ways I couldn’t explain. I loved the person I was whenever I was close to him, or with him.
I looked up from my fingers, forcing a smile as I looked at Jake. Some minutes after my call with Eric, Jake had called me, telling me that he was close, which was a good thing, then best thing. I was forcing a smile on my face because Jake asked me about Yu Bin and why I wasn’t dressed up for my date.“You’re well aware that that’s none of your bu
I had picked out my outfit that I was going to wear to Yu Bin’s house. Yes I was going to tutor the kids, but that was my side job, my main job was to seduce Yu Bin in every way I could, while still being classy and decent.I couldn’t wait to see Yu Bin, I missed him so much, maybe a litt
“So you have no idea when Yu is coming back?” I asked Yu Ri for the thousandth time. I knew she was tired of having to give me the same answer over and over, but I couldn’t help it. It had been a week since Yu Bin travelled, and there was no way to contact him. I couldn’t even send a text to ask how he was doing because he wouldn’t be able to receive it.
I had to force myself to learn how to give Yu Bin working space, which meant no calls, no texts, and no stalking. Whatever was going on in his company was serious, and it needed all the attention it could get; I was not about to be the reason why Yu Bin would forget to do something important, all because he was with me, so I let him have space. I mean he did promise me time alone with him, away from everyone and everything. I liked the sound of that.
Yu Ri and Yu Bin really did share one brain. When Yu Bin had asked me if I wanted to go with him instead, I refused on the basis that we weren't going to let me pay, well Yu Ri and I had that same problem, she was so adamant on paying for my dresses that she handpicked herself.The woman already paired my paycheck, an
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.
