"You know you've been scrubbing that plate for a good 2 minutes now."
I turned my head towards the voice, and of course it was Seonghwa.
"I was just thinking."
Well no shit what else would I be doing? Sensing that Seonghwa was next to me, I looked at him with a questioning stare.
"Thinking about what ?"
Well I don't know My current situation is confusing, I couldn't risk going out or else the devil himself would find me. But I didn't know how I could explain this situation to Seonghwa.
"Um stuff? Kinda hard to explain..."
I decided to attempt to finally tell him why I would need to stay at his place for so long.
"Like uhh, hold up let me finish doing the dishes and I think I could explain."
And with that I focused my attention back to cleaning.
-
Placing the last plate on the drying rack, I turned around to see Seonghwa sitting on the sofa. Making my way towards the sofa, I sat down in the opposite end and faced my body towards him. He did the same and looked straight at me, I could only sighed. No one knew my situation, so it would be hard to explain for the first time but I'm going to try my best.
"Okay...why I'm staying here for such a long time is because my dad is after me."
Way to go y/n! Now he thinks your dad is out to murder you! Seonghwa gave me a questioning stare, while I awkwardly smiled.
"Well a long time ago...when I was 19 my dad told me I would be marrying some CEO's son. Of course I didn't take it well, my own dad marrying me off for his own personal gain made me angry. So then I argued with him, but I knew he wouldn't change his mind. So I ran away for the first time in my life..."
Taking a deep breath, I looked up to see Seonghwa giving me a slight smile and nod. I didn't want to cry over something so stupid again, so I decided to continue with my story.
"It was hard at first because at that time I didn't know what the real world had in store for me. So I found a place in JeJu and worked my ass off there, and when I turned 20 I got a call. It was similar to the one I received last night, but at that time my dad promised to give me a year of freedom. Of course I complied, but soon after I figured out that he sent a bunch of weird creeps to observe me."
Saying that gave me flashbacks of when I would go to the convenience store late at night and I would see a shadow following me. It sent chills up my spine when I could remember seeing the man sit and watch me eat when I went out. The weird creepy smile he would give me when I looked at him. Sighing, I continued on with my story.
"Which is why I'm here in Seoul...and of course he called again but this time remin-."
Getting cut off with the sound of a phone ringing, I looked at where the sound was coming from. It was from Seonghwa's phone, he looked up at me giving me an apologetic smile and answered it.
"I'll be there at 11. Oh ok...bye"
He looked at me and got up, fixing his hoodie.
"Sorry I have to head out to work, can we continue this at night?"
I nodded and watched him head out the front door. Getting up, I decided to unpack my boxes.
