The next morning felt unreal a bit. Jae-Min and I got a little more closer. We're friends right? Just friends helping each other. I mean what else would we be. Since it's the weekend, I should get a job. Something to keep me busy. I scrolled through my phone and searched some easy going jobs. I saw an opening at this cafe. It seemed cute. There were looking for someone with a great attitude with good costumer service. I got dressed and I took the bus there. I wasn't that far away. When I arrived it was cute on the outside. Almost like a place only girls would go to. I walked in and went to greet everyone as a good start off, but I was shocked to find a girl in a maid outfit. I paused and stared. Her dress was tight high and she had socks that were reaching high too. Am I in the wrong place. I looked at my phone to make sure this was the right place. This wasn't advertised when I looked it up.
"Can I help you Unnie?" The girl rushed to me.
I stared to get shy and embarrassed. I tensed up and started walking to the door.
"I-I'm sorry, I think I'm at the wrong place." I said.
The maid pressured me and came closer to me.
"Are you sure there's nothing I can do?" She asked.
I forced space between us and through my arms up.
"Hmmm? Interview?" She said.
I saw my phone was visible. I hid it behind my back. I saw a woman come from behind the counter and walked toward us.
"Are you Park Ha-Yun?" She asked.
"Uh..." I was hesitant.
"I've been waiting for you." She said with a sincere look.
We quietly made our way to the back where I felt a bit more normal. I was actually contemplating making up an excuse to leave.
"I'm sorry you caught us in the middle of a promo, There was a new anime out and we were trying to encourage more customers."
Is that what it was, Do they have those types of expectations here?
"Um…..excuse me miss but does this happen a lot." I pointed to the main area.
" OH, no we do it randomly." I breathed more comfortable.
"Then is it possible to proceed with the interview?" I asked.
"Well, Park Ha-Yun, I loved your application, I intended on hiring you immediately, but seeing you in person has definitely sealed the deal, when can you start work?"
"Is it possible within a month? I just started school in the area." She smiled.
"Over course!, we can't wait to have you!"
What a success. I landed a temporary job. The bus ride back to the school had me feeling happy. I think Jeong-Min wanted to hang out today. Come to think of it, I haven't spoke to them since I got drunk that night. I bet she is going to scold me. I honestly don't know how to go about life right now. Things are different. Should I be fighting for this marriage? My head is all fuzzy from a clear path. Sometimes I think about running to CHan-Yoel and fighting for him. Other times I wish I could throw Jae-Min into his view and make him jealous. Will all this work? I just don't want it to be all for nothing. I wonder what Jae-Min was up to. I was a little nervous to have him in my dorm, but We should see more of each other now right? Maybe he saves his weekends to actually live his life, and seeing me might make him feel burdened. Should I text him and start a conversation? Is that too desperate? When I made it back on campus, the weather started to get cloudy, as if it intended to rain. Well If Jeong-Min had any intention of going out that seems to be ruined. Once I made it to my room the bathroom door flew open and It was Jeong-Min storming through from her side of the dorm.
"Yah! Ha-Yun! You haven't called or texted us since that night, have you lose it?" As I expected.
"So much has happened." I gave the back of my head a rub.
Jeong-Min called Eun-Ae over and I basically explained everything. The more I told them, it seems the more worried they got. If there was one fact, they definitely hated CHan-Yeol.
"So, you and Jae-Min are going to take revenge on Chan-Yeol by making him jealous?" Jeong-Min asked.
"Chan-Yeol did what?!" Eun-Ae shouted.
"Why is Jae-Min willing to do something so out of the way for you?" Jeong-Min asked.
"Chan-Yeol did what?1" Eun-Ae yelled again.
This was becoming so hard to explain let alone make them understand.
"Well, yes It is true I will be trying to get revenge." I chalked it up to that sentence.
"Yah! Unnie don't tell me you're thinking of going back to Chan-Yeol, if you succeed with this plan?" Eun-Ae placed a hand on her forehead.
"That's- I haven't thought that far ahead yet." I saw Jeong-Min lower her head.
I knew I would cause a little disappointment to them. Would they rather me cry everyday about how life isn't fair? Yes there may be better ways to cope, but this one is the one I want to pursue for now.
"Why don't you pursue Jae-Min Oppa instead?" Eun-Ae suggested.
"Absolutely not! She barely knows him!" Jeong-Min hammered her on top of her head with her fist.
"He's not that bad." I said staring at the ceiling.
What am I saying?
Sunday. Sometimes on these days I go to visit my parents, but with all that's going on maybe I should pass. Maybe I should go through my box of things. I wonder what Jae-Min was doing? I haven't seen him in a day. Should I text him? I guess that makes sense since I'm using him. I opened my phone and hovered over our messages. Why was I so nervous? It's not like I haven't talked to him before.
Ha-Yun - Hi Jae-Min, do we start tomorrow?
I closed my phone quickly. I wanted to think of the many things he would say, if he texted back at all. I heard a buzz and my chest pulsed for a bit.
Jae-Min - Well well, I thought you might have changed your mind and decided to avoid me.
Ha-Yun - Thought maybe you were busy.
Jae-Min - How considerate Ha-Yun-ah
Why did he say my name so casual. Is he teasing me? I heard someone turn the handle to my door. I jumped up and grabbed the closest thing I had...My hello kitty pillow....good job Ha-Yun maybe we can feather them to death. I went to open the door ready to swing but there was no one in front of me. I peaked down the hall and I saw a guy with a box in his hand. He turned to me with a look of annoyance.
"Sorry I thought that was my dorm, I thought it was three but it was eight." He was struggling a little.
I looked down and saw a he dropped a book. I picked it up and walked to him.
"Yah, is this yours?" I asked.
"Oh yeah that would be a nuisance to lose, can you come in and put it on my stand." I froze a bit.
I never got asked into someone dorm before. Is it alright? I mean it seems like he's still moving in. When I walked in his dorm he placed the box on the floor. He had burgundy hair. Unique. I never seen anyone with the color hair. He even pulled it off. Even his eyes were a bit burgundy.
"The stand." He said.
I was completely side tracked.
"Oh, right, sorry." I placed it down and backed up.
"Hey, watch where you-" I must have tripped over a box.
I braced for impact but instead it never came. I opened my eyes to see his hand gripping me to break the fall. He pulled me up.
"Well you're not aware of your surroundings." He said in a bland tone.
I pulled back and made a salty face. What's his attitude.
"Well normal people put boxes neatly in a new area." I said.
"Normal people don't trip over small boxes as if they have chicken feet." This jerk.
His face remained the same, unchanged as if nothing excited him.
"Normal people don't dye their hair that weird color." He did a mischievous smirk.
"Dye? what makes you think its dyed?" He said as he stroked his hand through his hair.
Was he trying to look cute? Am I wrong for thinking maybe he was.
"Well there's no way that can be real, what are you ashamed of how you look naturally?" I said in a teasing tone.
"Oh yeah, do you want me to prove that it's real?" He got real close to me hovering over my head placing his hands in his pocket.
I started to get a little nervous, here I thought I won but he just has this look of determination that seemed too juicy for him to let go of.
"How would you do that?" I asked afraid.
He chuckled. "Come here." He grabbed my arm and started making his way to the bathroom.
What was he doing, just how was he going to prove this. I felt my phone buzz. I stopped in my tracks and pulled away from his arm. When I pulled my phone up to my face, I saw Jae-Min texted me.
Jae-Min - Leaving me on read huh?
Oh no I totally forgot we were trying to think of a game plan. I turned and rushed back to my room.
"Sorry! I have to go! See you another time!" I yelled as I maneuvered through the boxes all spaced out over the floor.
As I ran back to my room, I leaned up against my door and stared at my phone. What do I say? Is that other guy crazy? Maybe I'm the crazy one for arguing with a stranger, and over hair at that.
Ha-Yun - Sorry, well what should we do first?
Jae-Min - How should I know, what would make him mad?
Make him mad? I don't know. I have never tried to intentionally make Chan-Yeol mad. I know of things that he dislikes, but those are more along the lines of dislikes in preferences not exactly jealousy. Even in high school, I never gave Chan-Yeol any space to have those thoughts. Maybe an arm over the shoulder? Me and Jae-Min feeding each other? Holding hands? Then a random thought and image popped up in my mind. What if Jae-Min and I kissed? No! That's too far, right? I went to the mirror to look at myself. My copper hair was starting to curve down my back and getting too long. Should I cut it? Maybe if I changed my look, Chan-Yeol might feel the urge to come to me. I looked at the ring I still had on my finger. I should get rid of it. I took off the ring and thought about tossing it in the trash, but I couldn't. How did it get to this point that he has driven away from us? I don't know what I was missing, or where it all went wrong. I never saw it coming. Maybe he had these thoughts for a while and I'm the one that couldn't accept the change that was to come. What would I tell my mom, I had plans to tell them we were married, but now I have to deliver news of us not being together at all. On a serious note I needed to look up divorces or annulments. We haven't even been married a month. I should give up all these thoughts for now, and sleep. Tomorrow is inevitable to come. I guess I have to put faith into this plan with Jae-Min in hopes that it works.
Next Morning, I didn't know what to expect. We had time until Chan-Yeol came. All class I was distracted by thoughts of revenge. I even let my hair down today and wore a cute sundress that was knee high. Jeong-Min approved of the outfit. I got more eyes than what I first got here. Jae-Min came into class late, and when he did, he just sat his bag next to me and slumped over his desk. Someone didn't get any sleep last night. He didn't even compliment me or notice me. When class was over I waited for him to lift up and have a reaction that would give me some confidence. But he didn't. I watched everyone leave and the room empty out. As the from emptied, I got tired of sitting and waiting. I stood up and grabbed my bag. As I begin to walk away I felt a hand reach out and grab me. I turned back to see Jae-Min, head still laying on the desk but turned to me.
"Now what kind of attention were you looking for with that?" He smiled.
"Oh I thought you didn't notice." I said starting to break a sweat.
He raised up with my arm still in his hand.
"Ha-Yun, do you really not know what you're doing?" He asked.
"Of course, I'm trying to get Chan-Yeol's attention." He made a quiet laugh.
"You'll be getting more than that." He said looking down at me.
"Hey! Where are you staring at?" I asked.
He grabbed his bag and turned around. He let out a sigh.
"Come on Park Ha-Hyun." He stated.
"Where are we going?" I asked he turned to me.
"Don't we have business to do." He asked.
His gold eyes pierced me. This guy seemed dangerous, not life threatening, but more deceiving. There was definitely more to him than he is showing.
"Business…?" I questioned.
He threw his head up covering his face.
"Ah, Ha-Yun how can you look at me with those eyes and that look, might want to save that for in front of him, otherwise I might lock us in here together."
His smile got more teasing.
"What are you on about, let's go!" I walked passed him.
Me and Jae-Min walked to the front of campus keeping a distance between us as if we were saving the enticing behavior for later. When we were within feet of the parking lot I caught a glimpse of Chan-Yeol's car. A small part of me felt sad again, just all the proof of his poor actions. Then I was mad. I had to focus, and find the strength to be bold today. I saw him walking with that girl holding hands. He even had a look of innocence in his eye. He use to look at me that way. I felt useless, and used. I guess this toy wasn't shiny and fun to play with anymore. Just what was his reason to get married to me? I thought marriage was after experiencing all those happy moments you wanted to save and live off of them forever, so you get married and hold on to them forever, reliving each moment in your partners eyes. I felt like I was breaking down. I wasn't ready for this. I was ahead of myself, and what's worse is that I wasted Jae-Min's time. I couldn't stop the tears from building up, as I couldn't stop feeling sorry for myself. The closer he got the more I just wished he would look up and see what damage he has caused. Just look around just once to prove getting caught by me would worry you. But he didn't. Was I that insignificant to him.
"Ha-Yun!" I heard my name.
Before I even processed where my name came from, I was snatched away. Jae-Min had removed me from my still position.
## Chan-Yeol POV
I pulled up to the university again. Maybe I should join college. The atmosphere wasn't bad. Maybe my parents were right. Yoo-Na was waiting for me with her group of friends. I attempted to scare her. She was wearing these short shorts, and loose tank top. Ha-Yun would never wear anything revealing like this. I love it, she was wearing this for me? She must want me to jump on her. As I approached her, I picked her up and swung her in the air.
"Yah! Chan-Yeol!." She screamed my name.
Oh how I loved how she called my name.
"Chan-Yeol your started to pick up on our habits." One of the guys said.
"Is that so?" I asked.
"What do you think Kang-Soo?" He nodded to another guy whose hair and eyes were both the same shade of burgundy.
He looked up at me as if he was less interested in even being here.
"I guess, if Yoo-Na is happy." What a weird response.
Maybe he's one of those cautious guys. Honestly every time he's around he doesn't say much, Just stares at Yoo-Na, and every time she shows him a bit of attention his eyes smile. Does he like her? Well well, I have no intention on sharing what I have already touched or that's mine. That battle he has already lost. Then again, I think I'd enjoy making him a suffer a bit for his rude behavior. I started to kiss Yoo-Na's neck and grab her side.
"Get a room!" One of the girls yelled.
Everyone laughed but him.
"Hey Lee Kang-Soo where are you going?" One of the guys asked the burgundy hair.
"I got a paper I forgot I have to write, I'll see you guys later." He walked off so arrogantly with his hands in his pocket.
Ha. Someone is jealous.
## Ha-Yun POV
Me and Jae-Min regrouped at my dorm. I let him in and I went to my bed and grabbed my pillow and yelled in it. I pulled it away and Jae-Min was leaned against the wall with his arms folded. What do I say? I feel he is disappointed in me. He never took his eyes off of me which made me feel even more nervous.
"Jae-Min." I said.
I stopped at his name.
"It's ok, I get it." He sounded disappointed.
I don't know why, but I felt like this would be the last time we would meet. I kind of didn't want to let him go. If I suggest trying again would he want to?
"Maybe, it's just not your style." He said.
"My style?" I asked.
"Ha-Yun, you're sexy, but you don't look like the type to be risky." He said.
Was that his type? Risky. Maybe I haven't been doing enough. Did he view me as a kid. WAIT. Did he call me sexy? Me? What was this feeling in my chest I was feeling. I felt my body get excited ad if it was feeding off of him.
"I can be risky." I said as I stood up.
"Yes, the dress definitely made an impression, but you have to use it, not just wear it." He stated.
It's not like I actually knew what I was doing. I'm just doing what I only have known up until this point. I guess you can definitely tell I was a freshly graduated high school student.
"Use it?"
"Ha-Yun, forget, I'll just lea-" He was starting to turn away.
I walked up and grabbed him to face him toward me. I stood on my tippy toes and tried to smash as much of my lips I could as possible into his. After a couple of seconds of not moving, I felt his grab my waist and tighten it between his grip. It felt good to be held like this. I never felt like this even with Chan-Yeol. It was as if he had no intention of letting me go. Before I could process our lips, he swept me off the floor, and started walking forward. He threw me on the bed.
"Like that?" I let slip from my mouth.
He looked at me with droopy eyes as if I woke him from a slumber.
"Just like that." He rubbed my thigh going a little higher under my dress.
He gripped my waist with the other hand and pulled me back into a kiss with him. He exchanged his tongue in my mouth, finding and tying it around my tongue. I wanted more and more. It felt like a competition on who can force more of their mouth on the other. More, I want more. My lower half of my body started to tingle and I started to chafing my legs together, with his hands there. I grabbed his hair and forced more of him on to me. I felt a finger touch the side of my underwear and eyes widened. What was happening.
"Jae-Min." I whispered.
I saw his ears flaring red.
"Ha-Yun! Are you back?!" I heard Jeong-Min voice.
Instantly I panicked and shoved Jae-Min has hard and far as I could with both arms. He flew back to the other end of the wall and I turned to the bathroom, where she would come from. I rushed and shoved Jae-Min into my closet and as I closed it, Jeong-Min bursted through.
"Ha-Yun, how long have you been here?" I couldn't stop thinking about what just happened.
"Uh, not that long ago."
"Well come on I got ramen, I'll make you a bowl, maybe we can watch that drama with the sexy Oppa." She said.
The only sexy thing I could think of was...no. As I was about to respond I felt something slide up my thigh. It was Jae-Min hands, why was he being this way. Is this what he meant by risky?
"Yeah! Go I'll just change quickly." I turned back to the closet.
I slid it open to find Jae-Min holding one of my lingerie in his hands, my face flushed. Oh no how embarrassing.
"How about this." He smiled a mischief one.
I curled an eyebrow to him.
"Chan-Yeol bought me that as an anniversary gift." I stated.
With that statement his facial expression changed to playful.
"In that case, you don't mind I just toss it in the trash where it belongs." He said walking out of the closet.
I snatched it out of his hands.
"I'll throw it away." I said.
"Yah, Ha-Yun you're not thinking about fun times in those are you?" He stated rather irritated.
"What times…I never wore it." He made a blank stare at me.
"In any case, I'll throw this away, and you get out, we will talk tomorrow." I said pushing him out and throwing the lingerie in the trash.
I pushed him out the door and closed it quickly. I couldn't stop the adrenaline that was pumping through me. Good thing Jeong-Min showed up or who knows what I would have done.
## Jae-Min POV
As I turned to leave I felt a pull on my shirt. I was turned around and I watch Ha-Yun lift her small frame to meet my lips with a force that seemed almost like a mistake. I was shocked. I wou;d have never thought she would make a move. Honestly I was waiting for her to show me some sign of interest. I wrapped my arms around her waist and forced her body onto mine. I felt her boobs crush into my chest. They were so soft. I felt all heat rush down my thigh. If this doesn't stop I wont be able to keep up this good guy ruse. I opened my eyes from kissing her and saw her galaxy shimmered eyes peaking through her eyelids. How beautiful she was. I want her. I feel this isn't right. She is already going through something. Who knows maybe she is going to want him back and this is just curiosity. I can't help it the more our lips stay together the more I will want more of her. I picked her up and tossed her body on the bed. I took a look at her heated body.
"Like that?" She whispered.
Those words were enough to get me riled up.
I kind of got lost in thinking about taking her right on that bed. All the positions I would throw her into. Her body was so stiff in my grip, I don't know if she was nervous or just not that experienced. I slid my hands up her thigh and I felt me get more excited the more I got close to her spot that was heating my fingers the closer I got. I was so wrapped up into us that I didn't notice a shift in her mood. She shoved me. I got worried that I may have hurt her and looked a bit surprised. She rushed to me and shoved me in a closet. Before I could protest, she closed it in my face and I heard another girl voice. It sounded familiar. Maybe a friend of hers. Her roommate. I hate the way these dorms are set up. Campus apartments are way better. No interruptions. By this time I would have definitely had her on top of me squeezing every ounce of her insides over me. STOP. This is Ha-Yun she and I are only trying to get revenge. But, I couldn't stop wanting to be more. From the moment I saw that fiery hair and passionate attitude, she interested me. So wrapped up in thought I opened the door and slid my fingers against her soft skin, no blemishes no imperfections. I wanted to continue. I want to ruin that innocent look on her face. She was in shock. I heard her mentioned changing. I turned to look around in the tight space I was given. I saw a white lingerie outfit hung up. what was that? I grabbed it and imagined her in it, crawling to me on the bed. Ha-Yun. Your coppered curly hair dripping over you as you only have eyes for me. This girl is not safe with me. I might not want to help her with her husband. What if she decided to still go back with him? Then I'm left to hand her back over to a careless person who dropped such a precious jewel, for rubble. She slid the door open all the way and saw me.
"How about this?" I offered.
"Chan-Yeol bought me that as an anniversary gift." She stated.
"In that case, you don't mind I toss it in the r=trash where it belongs."
She snatched it out of my hands. Don't tell me she still want to hold on to that.
"I'll throw it away." She said.
Was she really going to throw it away or was that just said to make me feel better.
"Yah, Ha-Yun you're not thinking about fun times in those are you?" I said.
"What times…..I never wore it." I looked confused.
What did she mean. She's married. Has she never tried these on for him, used it? Just what kind of relationship did those two have? I can't even believe they were married. They should have been passed that at the very least right? She shoved me out the door saying she would call me tomorrow. I leaned against her door and covered my eyes with my arm, I felt my face flustered. Ha-Yun…..don't tell me.
