CH 18 ~ The Cottage
I'm Trapped (Discontinued)
You tried your best on your way back to the cafe to make yourself look presentable as if nothing has happened but judging by your swollen eyes it was a lost cause. Composing yourself you rid of all your thoughts and just focused on getting back to work. Eunhyuk's noona noticed when you walked in but she didn't say a word and just silently observed you. The one thing you were always good at was hiding how you truly felt under a mask that you put on display for everyone around you to see. Only one person can see through it. But now he was also the reason that you have it on. Interacting with the customers took your mind off of things and you were happily conversing with them. You were cleaning up a table next to a group of high school girls when you couldn't help but overhear their conversation. " Did you guys see Eunhyuk Oppa and Krystal Unnie's appearance on running man?" " Yesss!! Kyahhh they were so cute together. I hope to see them interact even more in the future. I've always shipped them together." " I heard that they're filming a new commercial and that they will be playing lovers." " Jinja?!" You had heard enough. You quickly set everything on the tray and brought it to the sink to wash them. You have been so busy lately that you haven't kept track of what Eunhyuk was doing. This was the first time you heard about this commercial. Suddenly a thought came to mind and you quietly cursed yourself. Maybe the interaction you saw between him and Krystal was just practice for the recording. " Aish..This is what happens when you jump to conclusions. I should've let him explain before rushing off." But you thought about what Eunhyuk's noona said about Krystal coming over for dinner and once again you were thrown into confusion. Someone leaned on the counter next to you and looking up you saw that it was Eunhyuk's noona. " How are you? " she asked cocking her head. You breathed in and exhaled. " I'm fine," you replied not really wanting to speak to anyone at the moment. "You got back so early. I was expecting Eunhyuk to be holding you back." You just shrugged and continued washing the dishes. A moment of silence past and you were starting to feel really uncomfortable with her just standing there watching you. " You know what I said about Krystal before… I wasn't trying to imply anything," she finally said. Without looking up you replied, " I know." Eunhyuk's noona gently grabbed your wrist and you stopped to look at her. " Don't let someone come between the both of you. You've been through so much already to be together." You put down the plate that you were holding and dried off your hands. Knowing that it will bother you unless you share it with someone you asked, " Unni, can I talk to you about something?" She cocked her head at you but nodded. You quickly told her about what you saw between Eunhyuk and Krystal, also the news you heard from the school girls earlier. " So I'm assuming what I overheard was them practicing lines for the commercial but I still feel uneasy about it," you finished. She patted your hand. " Go talk to him. Don't let this little misunderstanding become something much bigger." You nodded. " I will talk to him as soon as I'm finished my shift." She shook her head. " No, you go talk to him now. I'll tell Umma that you had something important to take care of. She'll understand." She slightly pushed you towards the locker room. You looked back and smiled. "Gomawo Unnie." She returned it and motioned you to leave. You quickly made your way to your locker and got changed your clothes. Grabbing your stuff you your phone to send a text to Eunhyuk when you saw that he already beat you too it.
____ah Please let me explain.
Meet me here at 7:00
I'll be waiting for you
~ Eunhyuk
You looked at the message with your brows furrowed. It was an unfamiliar address, but you knew that it was in an area outside of Seoul. Where exactly is this place? you thought. You checked the time, it was a 6:40. Looking up at the sky you saw that the clouds were pulling in and that it was starting to get darker. Knowing that Eunhyuk was probably on his way you quickly you hailed a cab and got on your way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His POV
Sitting on the couch you checked your watch and saw that ____ was running late. Pacing in circles you tried to calm your nerves and thought over what you were going to say to her once she gets here. You felt horrible knowing you hurt her even if it wasn't intentional. Things just needed to be right again. You got up and walked over to the bay window, looking outside. It was starting to snow gradually more and the wind was picking up judging by the trees that were swaying. You sat back down again and clasped your hands together resting your elbows on your thighs. Hopefully she's on her way…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The weather worsened halfway through the drive and you were worried if you were going to be able to make it there safely. You prayed that nothing happens and you could just make it to Eunhyuk all right. Looking at your watch you saw that you were running late but since you couldn't get any service you couldn't send a text to him. You looked out the window into the vast white and played with the hem of your jacket. Shortly after the driver announced that you've arrived and you were grateful that it was a safe trip. You paid the man and told him to be careful on his way back as you wrapped your scarf to shield your face from the harsh wind. You spotted a small cottage up ahead and wondered if that was the correct address. The wind was biting at your skin and you could hardly see with all the snow falling, so you decided to go to the cottage first to check it out. Slowly you trudged through the snow making sure to not slip. Finally you got to the door and knocked. Rubbing your palms together you were trying to warm them up when the door flung open. Eunhuk stood there and stared at you for a split second before ushering you in. " I'm so sorry. I didn't know that the weather would get this bad," he said motioning you towards the couch. You sat down and immediately felt the warmth that was radiating from the lit fireplace. " When do you ever check the weather before stepping outside," you poked at him playfully. He walked over and joined you on the couch. " That's why I have you to tell me these things," he said. Suddenly silence fell upon the two of you. " I can explain," Eunhyk blurted out but you cut him off. " First can I say something?," you asked. He nodded. " I want to apologize for acting the way I was. I shouldn't have ran off like that without listening to your explanation first…I was just really insecure and hurt that I didn't think things through clearly," you told him. " ___-ah, it's not your fault. Anyone would've reacted the same way. But I promise that there is nothing going on between me and Krystal. We were just running through lines for our commercial, and she got too absorbed in the role. Nothing more." You let of a breath of relief after hearing him confirm it himself. But there was still one more thing that you were curious about. " Why did Krystal come over to your house for dinner?" you said hoping it didn't come off as prying. Eunhyuk looked at you questionably. " How did you know?" " Your noona told me today. I wondered why you didn't tell me." " I had to run home to get something after one of our schedules but my mom ended up inviting her to stay for dinner. I told her that she didn't have too but she said she would love too. I didn't know it bothered you." You mentally cursed at yourself. Now he probably thinks you're some crazy stalker girlfriend. Eunhyuk observed your expression and could tell that something was bothering you. " I'm sorry. I promise that from now on I'll tell you everything okay?" You slightly shook your head. " It's fine. You don't have to tell me everything, I trust you. I promise that I won't jump to any more conclusions anymore." He bent over and grabbed your hands. " Gomawo" You smiled at him. Suddenly the howls of the wind got louder and interrupted your reconciling moment. You both looked outside and saw that the snow was piling on in greater masses now. Eunhyuk got up and made his way over to the window to observe. Taking out his phone, he pressed a few buttons but soon got frustrated. " Aishhh" " What's wrong?" you asked beginning to worry. " Can you get any reception here?" You took out your phone and saw that the x was still there. " No, I didn't have any either when I was making my way here." Eunhyuk ran his fingers through his hair looking really concerned. He walks back over to you and sits back down. " ___-ah. We're going to have to spend the night here. There's no way of leaving this place tonight" You looked from the window back to Eunhyuk. " Well I guess it's a good thing. We don't want to be caught in that storm," you said trying to reassure him. He pulled you into an embrace and held you against his chest. " You're always so calm and finding the positive in any kind difficult situation. I love that about you." You looked up to look at him when he bent down to kiss you. His soft lips moving along yours as his hands made their way down to your waist. It had seemed too long since the two of you were together and the desires that has been put on hold were suddenly resurfacing. You grabbed fistfuls of his sweater to pull him in, deepening the kiss even more. His own suppressed frustrations slowly taking over his body as he pushed you slightly down on the couch. You could feel his tongue slide into your mouth as it intertwined with yours, tasting every inch of your mouth. His started peeling your jacket away from your body and made his way to start on the buttons of your blouse. You broke the kiss to come up for air and stared into his darkening eyes. Without a word exchanged you could tell that he wants the same thing that you desperately need at the moment. You nodded your head to indicate that you also need him too. Eunhyuk flashed you a smirk before claiming your lips once more.
