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
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
7 YEARS AGO"Happy birthday dear Jumy, happy birthday to you," my parents sang, smiling lovingly at me as I sat in the expensive dress my boyfriend got for me.
7 YEARS LATERI woke up to the sound of my infuriating human alarm, Eric, shouting stupidly in my ears, as he shook my body.
“Hey, you're the road runner from this morning, aren't you?" Yu Bin asked me, with his beautiful brown eyes piercing straight into my soul.I opened my mouth to answer, but there were no words, my mind was blank, it was like seeing nothing; I had nothing in my head.
I finally found the courage to sit with other teachers for lunch. They looked like half decent people, but it was evident they liked gossip, like this is a fucking elementary school for fucks sake.“So, Jumy, what’s your deal?” One of the teachers asked. She was very pretty with nice blond hair. I could tell from her attitude and the way she talked that she was the Queen gossip, and she loved things going her way. No one dared to say no to her, in other words, she was very full of herself.
I woke up to another day of Eric constantly singing about this very pretty lady of his, I hated it because he was doing it to spite me; because I came home talking about Yu Bin."Okay fine! I won't talk about Yu Bin again! Hearing about your boss that way is
It was at noon, after lunch, that I started to hear the rumor from the teachers, something about Yu Bin and his wife.I was in one of the stalls in the restroom, peeing, when I heard footsteps; they were more than one person, that much I could tell.
"Are you sure we haven't met before?"I kept my eyes on Yu Bin, not saying a word, not because I thought he remembered me, but because I didn’t know how to speak; the man had a way of making me forget how to talk. Yu Bin kept his eyes on me for a while, then his gaze started to go lower.

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.
