23. First (1/1)

She walked through the door as if he invited her in and he closed it behind her. “What are you doing here?” He asked her. “You weren’t supposed to know where this was.”  She gave him a smile, “I’ve always known, Himchan. So, this is what your little love nest looks like?” She said, looking around. “It’s so minimal.”  “I don’t need stuff.” Himchan told her. “Now, what do you want Hyosung?”  “You know you shouldn’t have left.” She said, walking up to him and fixing the collar of his shirt. “You shouldn’t leave me.”  “Why? You don’t come when you’re supposed to? Why should I wait around for a woman who is more interested in other guys’ attention than me?” Himchan countered, pushing her hands away from him. “You know that we are engaged right? We are together, Himchan. It’s only me and you.” She said, smoothing out the hem of her skirt. “Besides, your status has always been higher than hers.”  “She is more perfect for me than you will ever be. You’re the one who went on a wild girls’ night out anyway.” He said to her.  “Did not.” She said indignantly, not allowing herself to get too emotional, he couldn’t find out what happened to her. She was left behind as if she was a nobody and she wasn’t about to let him know that. “You did. I know you just as well as you think.” Himchan said. “So get out.”  “You have to come back to me, Himchan. She’s a nobody. She won’t help you.” She said. “You can’t leave me.” She leaned into him, trying to kiss his lips. Himchan pushed her away, “Watch me. I’m done ignoring my feelings, I don’t care about status and I never have. Just because you were able to convince my parents and her in the past doesn’t mean you can convince me now.” He said, “Now. Leave.”  Hyosung smirked, “Just because you have a strong will doesn’t mean she does. She is always insecure about being with you.” She told him. “Goodbye, Himchan.” She said, letting herself out of the apartment. Himchan ran a hand through his hair angrily. She always came between them, he wasn’t going to let that happen this time. He had to do something about it, she was not going to slip through his fingers this time. There was only one person who could help him out. He hadn’t seen him in forever, but he was the only one who could get through the mess that was his brain right now. He grabbed a jacket and headed out, there was only place where he would be right now. ~  “What do you mean I deserve better?” Hyorin asked, “This is a job. I do it, because I want money.” She said. “I want you to be safe, Katharine.” He told her. “Safe means away from crazy people. Safe means not doing this.” He said. “What does that even mean? Benjamin you’re not making any sense.” She said, shaking her head at him. Zico immediately pressed himself against her, cornering her to the wall.  “Stop. Stop doubting yourself.” He said sternly. Hyorin looked at him, “What are you even talking about? I have always gotten what I wanted.”  Zico tilted his head at her, “Whatever you say, Katharine. But I know better, you know you’ve always wanted a love like Madeleine’s. Someone to care for you like how Nathaniel cares about her. How he only has eyes for her and only sees her. His whole universe starts and ends with her.” He told her.  Hyorin visibly flinched at his words, she hated that she had felt like that, she hated being jealous of her best friend. “Stop it.” She said, but there was no power behind her voice and he knew she was just beating herself up about it again. “Katharine.” He said sternly, making her look up at him.  “What, Prince Benjamin.” She replied, “What are you even doing?”  “You remember that prophecy we listened to?” He told her. “Well, I’m acting on it.”  “Why? You know that you’re just bringing this onto yourself. She’s gonna come for you.” Hyorin said.  “No, she won’t. We’re done. And I want you now, I love you Katharine. I have seen the Change.” Zico told her. Hyorin shook her head. “You’re lying, I’m just a side chick. I will always be a side chick.” She said to him. “That’s all I’m good for.”  Zico stopped her, cupping her cheeks in his hands. “Stop it. You’re the princess, the main character. I love you.” He said, leaning in to kiss her lips and she easily followed his lead. She found herself getting lost in the feeling, she wondered if this was what Yoonji felt. She had never had this with any client before, it was so different, so real, his heat hit her in full force and she pulled away before she got swallowed up by it. “Sorry.” He said, wrapping his arms around her. “Quit that job, Katharine.” He told her. “Okay, Dambi wanted me to quit anyway.” She said. “Mr. Lee is going to have to be buried deep somewhere so he never finds me.”  “Don’t you mean, we have to hide you?” Zico said suspiciously. “You can’t just dispose of a human.”  “I know, that’s what I meant. Anyway, I’m allowed to see Seunghyub right?” She asked him.  “Of course, but first we have to see some other people.” He said, taking her hand and leading her to his car. He opened the door for her and she climbed into the car gracefully.  He went around and got into the driver’s seat, going to the club up the street. She knew exactly where they were going when she saw the line of people waiting to get in. He valeted his car and got the both of them to the front of the line. “Hey.” He greeted the bouncer and smiled when he let them through. Everyone complained but Zico could care less at the moment. He saw just the person he was looking for as soon as they made it downstairs. “Hey, hyung.” He said, his fingers intertwined around Hyorin’s.  Bang looked at him and a wide grin spread across his face, “Hey, awesome.” He said. “Look at you.”  “Yeah. So it’ll be your turn soon I’m sure.” He said, throwing his arm over Hyorin’s shoulders and she looked embarrassed. “Stop it. You’re being gross cute.” Bang scolded him playfully.  “Go do your thing, I just wanted to tell you first.” Zico said, shoving his hyung. He led Hyorin to a VIP table and they sat down.  “We aren’t going to stay for long right?” She asked him. Zico smiled at her, knowing that they both actually hated the club atmosphere. “Yeah, just to see Bang hyung go and then we can go to a bar.” He told her. “Okay, cool. Hey, Prince Benjamin.” She said, pulling him closer to her. “What is it?” He asked and Hyorin pulled him into a kiss. When she pulled away, she smiled. “I love you too.” She said.  Author's Note;;
