Because You Saw ME prncsjaz 42140K 2023-11-02

Sorry it took so long to update everyone between traveling in Mexico (where it was nearly impossible to have internet in some of the places we had to be) and work it took me so long to update Jungmal Mianhae *bows* I'm so so sorry guys please enjoy the chapter and comment to let us know your thoughts love you all!!Chapter 3I promised I wouldn't follow her, but I ended up doing it. I kept the distance and just walked behind her, making sure she was safe since it was getting dark. She was walking in front of me confidently, so happy she'd gotten her portfolio back that she didn't notice me. It was nice to feel normal, even invisible for once. Maybe that was what attracted me to her. We walked a couple blocks and I lost sight of her. I looked around and saw a guy grabbing her arm and pulling her aggressively."Look here you little bitch, I'm gonna make you pay for what you did yesterday." I heard him say and as I got closer my eyes hardened as I slowly started increasing my pace to get to her faster. "My friends are giving me quite the hassle and I'm sure it's your fault that I lost my favorite girl. So everything you did to me, I'm going to do to you twice" He chuckled evilly and he pulled her into an alley as she struggled fiercely."YA!" she yelled trying to put on a fight but without the "surprise" factor she had had the other day, her efforts were useless; she was out powered. I was running, and before I realized it and my hand was gripping the guy's arm tightly."Let go of her." I growled threatening."What? This bitch your property or something? Stay the fuck out of it!" He yelled at me shaking my hand off and moving to pull her away. I grabbed his wrist and pulled aggressively, forcing him to let go of her."Now leave before something bad happens to you." At the same time I spoke I pushed her behind me hoping that she would run and get out of there.The guy turned around and punched me in the face right when I was looking at her trying to make sure she was fine. I lost my balance for a second and then punched him back causing him to stumble and fall against a wall. The situation erupted into a fight to the full extent of the word in a couple of seconds and before I knew it, we had switched places and I was on the ground, leaving her exposed. He turned around to her and before I could stand up, the guy was on his knees in front of her… AGAIN."That's what you get for calling me a bitch, asshole." She said as he crouched down, holding his sensitive area and whining.

"That must have hurt like hell..." I thought standing up."Come on, let's go!" She said coming towards me, grabbing my hand and pulling me away quickly.I looked down at our hands before taking the lead, keeping as close to her as I could before I made us stop a safe distance ahead. "Are you okay?” I asked as I took her arm and shook my head; I could already see a bruise forming. "We better get some ice on this before it gets worse, this time I'm walking with you till you're safe got it?" I said, what I had just experienced had made my heart beat quickly with both fear and worry and I really didn't want to experience it again.She just laughed cutely before making a worried expression. "This?" she asked looking at the bruise on her arm. "You'd better get some on your face... damn, that guy's tough..." she said caressing my cheek and smiling thankfully.      "Thanks..." she said turning serious. "Really, thank you." she said making some adorable puppy eyes, suddenly making all the punches worth it."They're not that bad, I've had worse." I answered honestly, "Plus I know some good makeup artists if it turns out to look really bad. As for the thanks, it was no problem." I gave her an eye smile wincing just slightly. "Now where am I walking you to?" I asked pulling away from her slightly and holding out my arm in a gentlemanly way."Don't worry about me; you've already done enough, go get some ice on that, I'll get a cab." She said smiling widely. "Wanna get one together? Where do you live?" She asked curiously looking for a cab."Oh umm okay, I live about ten blocks from here." I answered carefully; I would have to make sure she wouldn't find out, "Do you live closer? Well even if you don't the cab should drop you off first.""I live a couple bus stops away." she said waving for a cab, "but I really am fine, you worry too much" she said giggling carelessly."I'm just trying to be a gentleman" I answered chuckling as I opened the door for her letting her enter the cab with me right behind her. I spoke in rapid Korean to the driver before turning my attention back to her, "I take it you live in the dorms or one of the apartments at the university right?""Dorms." she answered briefly and looked out the window. "I guess it's pretty obvious since I'm not Asian." she said making a funny grimace."No, there are a lot of foreigners around here nowadays, if I hadn't looked at your drawing I wouldn't have known" I said reassuringly as the cab started moving."I see." She said telling the driver where to go. "Thank you again, very much." she said looking at the bruise on my face instead of my eyes when the cab stopped. "and I'm sorry, you've got that because of me..." she continued sighing and getting very close to me, then kissing my cheek quickly. "It will heal faster this way." she said innocently before waving and getting out of the cab.I put a hand to my cheek smiling unconsciously. "You know kid, you should just make the first move." The cab driver said suddenly shaking his head. "She's not going to be here forever." I nodded and told him to drop me off at the cafe across from the YG dorms.***I looked down at the small box in my hand and bit my lip. This may be my only chance to say sorry and I knew that the odds of me actually talking to him were slim. I opened the box and stared at it, my neat cursive decorated the frosting spelling:"I'm sorry, I didn’t mean it..." I looked up as I approached the YG Entertainment building blanching as I saw the magnitude of fans outside its doors. Was it going to be impossible to give this to him I wondered silently as I steeled myself and started to push my way to the front.I somehow made it to the front and was looking at the doors, waiting to see him strut out, praying to get a chance to sneak the chocolate into his pocket. After about an hour wait, and freezing to the bone, the door opened and Taeyang walked out smiling friendly to the fans, G-dragon was quick to follow and so were Seungri and Daesung. TOP was the last one to come out. I was looking at him, trying to catch his gaze and I did when he passed by me. His look was unreadable, I couldn't tell what he was thinking or feeling but I snuck the chocolate into his pocket and gave him an apologetic smile before walking away into the crowd.I wrapped my sweater around me tighter and looked down as I felt girls pushing and fighting for a chance to give their bias something they made themselves. I took just a few seconds to recollect my thoughts before I started walking again, heading in the direction of the cafe. It seemed like an eternity before I entered its doors letting the smell of caffeine relax me a bit more. "Cappuccino..." I murmured softly paying before I took a seat at my usual table. Even when my coffee arrived I did nothing but stare at it, my thoughts preoccupied with the slight chance that he may throw it away."May I have the seat next to you?" A familiar voice spoke from behind me, the low, husky voice sending chills through my body.My head snapped back and I smiled in relief before nodding and sitting a little straighter. I took a deep breath before I opened my mouth planning to full out apologize."I have to admit," he said cutting me off. "It was the first time somebody said things so straight to my face." he said laughing. "But there was no need to apologize," he continued giving me a slight feeling of relief. "you were right in everything you said. I was pretty surprised, to be honest, and shocked. Firstly, because you didn't recognize me and secondly because you read TOP so easily even though you had no interest in him."I bit my lip and looked off to the side for a bit, "I guess I didn't recognize you because I didn't want to. There was a moment where I almost did but my mind kept saying you weren't TOP...you didn't act like him...you around me. And that made no sense whatsoever..." I sighed and looked at him again not knowing how to continue."I am TOP on stage." he answered calmly. "In front of the fans, on TV shows, in photo shoots and when the camera is on; outside of it, I am Choi Seunghyun, a person whom few people had the honor to meet." he said smiling kindly. "A different person." he continued looking deep into my eyes.I couldn't tear my eyes from his intense gaze. "I guess I'm one of those few people..." I said softly. "May I...may I ask why?" I took a breath before clarifying. "Why did you choose to talk to me as Choi Seunghyun?""Because you didn’t seem interested in me what-so-ever." he answered sincerely. "You looked at me and didn't see TOP, the idol, you saw a person." He continued reaching his hand and tucking my hair behind my ear. "And I liked that.”I blushed as he did that my eyes finally tearing away and looking to the side. "You're still going to be Choi Seunghyun with me right? I like spending some of my mornings with you...talking." I added after a bit chancing a glance back at him."I don't know what you're talking about," he said smiling sheepishly. "TOP never comes here; he hates coffee." He said chuckling.I smiled widely letting out a giggle, "I'm glad," I fully relaxed and laid my arm on the table finally taking a small sip of my coffee as my fingers traced parts of the wood like I sometimes did. "How long do you have?" I asked softly not wanting to get into a deep conversation if he had to leave soon."Until they find me." he said laughing like a silly teenager that just sneaked out of his house at night.His laugh was contagious and I couldn't help but join in with it. "I take it you do this often then? On average how long does it take for them to find you during these little moments?""About this long..." he said looking towards the door and standing up."It was nice chatting with you, see you soon." he said smiling and then putting on a serious expression and walking to the door.
