Awkward.
It's one way to explain how is it going right now while they walk.
It's hard really , she's a talkative person in nature and that is so weird for her . but not for johnny .
"So...taeyong was job good today?"
Please not that question---
"Well, yeah. She did her job well, I'm... Impressed"
Huh? What now? She's sure he's high at this point
"What about you sulyoung?"
"It was shitty , why?". She's not sorry , he made her day shitty , but it's not Johnny's fault
"Sorry..um..i meant it was hard, johnny"
Again, awkward.
Taeyong breathed out a laugh that made them both look at him like he's really high now .
"I made it shitty and awkward, the day for is ruined now I guess. I'll take that route , see both tomorrow."
He left after that , and now for the first time since she met him, she felt bad. Cause this time he actually said that she's good in her job and she just said he made her day shitty, while it's real yes, but she still felt bad.
"You really had to say that ?"
Oh come on you don't know the half of it.
"Johnny look i-"
"I understand he's hard to deal with but he just gave you a compliment, that didn't happen before. Like.....i don't know , I am not in your place I know that but couldn't you give a better answer?"
Right, of course, that's his friend. Of course he'll stand up to him first.
"Right. Goodnight , johnny. I'll take the stairs"
And just like that sulyoung left, she had enough and she can't deal with another thing at all now.
After she entered her apartment, took off her shoes and changed her cloths, she was in the middlenof cooking dinner when her phone dinged, she assumed it's johnny already, but to her surprise when she looked it was taeyong, she quickly unlocked her phone.
TY: hope I didn't make you hate your job, you're really doing well. I know it's hard to hear a good word from me but I'll work on it, have a nice evening or night.
Well......maybe he's not all bad??
TY: oh and please don't be late again , yeah you did good but I'll not go easy on you
Okay , he's having mood swings now and she'll deal with it later
SY: sure thing boss, please be like this in job too I beg of you
TY: you're being sarcastic
SY: are you watching me?
TY: I can't believe this , night.
She chuckled to herself, yeah he's not all bad
-------------------------------------
Or he is?
She'll act as if he didn't just add five more projects on her email saying "to the minor one"
Minor one????? What the fu---
There were lots of doorbells out of her room
"SULYOUNG I KNOW YOU'RE AWAKE AND I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE--"
why the hell is johnny screaming????
She quickly ran up to her door and opened, she didn't even wash her face.
"Shut up! There are people sleeping out there, it's 6 am!"
She shouted whispering at him, he looked her up and down
" you wake up all beautiful like that? "
"I'll close the door since you have nothing to say--"
He put his foot to stop the door and yelped immediately.
"Hear me out , I'm sorry. Yesterday... I didn't really know all what happened and you're always complaining about him that's why I didn't know a thing."
Hmm..... acceptable.
"Okay. He added five more projects so you'll hear me complain more. Come in, I'll go change"
johnny stared for a bit before laughing.
"is so he did that?" he mumbled to himself but she heard him anyways.
"did what?"
"nothing, taeyong just have a bad habit in saying he's sorry in different ways"
"no one told him that said different ways can't be adding more burden?"
"spare him, he's learning "
they both laughed as she offered him a plate and coffee, he looked shocked .
"you-- you really didn't have too--"
"I had a feeling you didn't eat, just take it treat me later after work or something, maybe in lunch"
johnny chuckled and took the things from her hands, slightly brushing his own against hers.
"fine, whatever you say, minor one"
"SO IT WAS YOU--"
__________________________at ncc , 10:20 am
she was at her office , still haven't met taeyong yet since the beginning of the day, so she went to his office , she's done with 3 of the projects anyways.
while she was going there she heard him inside, probably talking 5o someone on the phone. she knows she can't invade someone's privacy by eavesdropping but she did .
"I told you no....me? you cheated and told me I was too cold for your liking and now asking to meet up just like that?....yeah no thank you ,keep your apologies"
he went silent for long and she guessed the line went off.
she was about to leave but she heard him.
"just because the glass is tinted doesn't mean I haven't seen you, come in"
she fumbled with the files I her hands before twisting the knob, entering
"um...sorry..?., I-- kinda heard things.."
he looked at the files in her hands, kind of avoiding looking at her face, gesturing for the files.
"you're okay, it's nothing. just ..old memories.....bad ones. you did that one good"
he quickly shifted to the files as if he didn't just tell her a small tiny part of life, she strangely felt ....happy?
"yeah uh--what made it good?"
"your lines here became more bold . which is good but be careful, that could stain other projects "
"about that...." she trailed off when he glared at her, in total silence.
Taeyong stared at her.
"you already stained one?"
he asked in low dangerous tone that absolutely terrified her .
"n-no! I stained my papers !, nothing to do with work I swear "
he came back to normal.
"okay, you can go now, finish the other 2 after lunch or something. be back before 4 pm"
phew,that was close, she really didn't stain a thing yet she felt scared of that tone, if he shouted it would've been better for real, but that tone? hell nah that felt like the shaking before volcano.
_______at the coffee shop near them feat. johnny______
"so he didn't shout after that tone?, okay he has a soft spot for you"
she punched his arm, what is he saying?!
"No!, he doesn't. and look he just said the three projects are fine. oh, by the way; taeyong had an ex before?"
johnny suddenly stiffened beside her, avoiding her gaze slightly.
"I don't know , he had one?"
"johnny your acting sucks, just say it's a secret it would be better"
his shoulders relaxed a bit, chuckling.
"yeah , thanks for that I guess. he....did have one , actually more than one but that's not my place to tell you. they just..... didn't end well. didn't understand him enough, didn't even try too. he can be hard on himself more than he's hard on the people around him, forgive him,yeah?"
that's....
that's awful , not having people understanding you , cheating on you , then blaming it on you for being 'cold'?? that's fucking pathetic of them to even do that , it's horrible.
now she got why he's kinda like this, not all parts sure . but a small tiny part made appearance.
