Avery’s POV
“Avery and Jimin!” Called the
professor before, I could even answer Jimin’s question.
“Yes?” we both said in unison.
“How is the project going so far? I
just came to see how you both are doing.” Said the professor calmly.
Before I could even answer the
professor, Jimin just jumped in and explained what we were doing.
“Very good,” said the professor
impressed with our work so far, “Work like this, and you both will succeed. You
both make a good pair,” dropped the professor with a smile and left.
There was an awkward pause before
Jimin spoke again, “Umm…so about the-“
Before he even finished his sentence,
I cut him off unexpectedly, “Yes…yes I want too!” without even looking at him.
“Oh okay cool..” He said with a
surprise, but I could see a smile forming on his lips.
Why did I say yes though? Ugh, its
just coffee, not a date or anything…plus I’m over him…right?
Yes! She said yes! I don’t know why I
feel so happy. I think I just feel like I need to make her feel better. I
somehow feel guilty, I know she’s hurt; I want to protect her and not let a
single tear drop from her eyes. I am just being concerned for her right?
After we were nearly done with our
blue print, we plan to head out for coffee. The weather was pretty nice too.
When we got to the coffee shop, we ended up ordering the same thing. The shopkeeper
gave us our order with a small laugh and then said, “You both make a cute
couple!” Before any of us said anything back, I just grabbed Avery’s hand and got
to a nearby table.
“The coffee looks good!” I said
trying to release the awkwardness.
“Yeah..” she said avoiding eye
contact with me again.
“hey…you alright?”
“Yea-Yeah I’m fine,” she said, but I
could sense that she’s not telling the truth. Is she having a hard time facing
me? Should I tell her about the letter..?
“Umm…Avery…there is something I
should tell you but I don’t know if it’s the right time…” I trailed off.
Finally looking up at me, she
replied, “What is it Jimin?” I could see the concern in her eyes…Oh those eyes
are mesmerizing though…Jimin, stop, focus.
“Well…you see, umm when you left…I
found this letter and…” before I could even complete my sentence, her face
seemed to feel flushed already. This is so hard for me right now, I don’t even
know if I can tell her, oh no..
“What letter? What do you mean
Jimin?” Avery said with a higher tone, “Answer me!”
“Well, the letter…umm, you wrote
about me and…”
“Dammit! YOU READ MY LETTER?!?!”
Avery sounded really pissed. Oh no what have I done, I shouldn’t have told her,
Oh god please take me back, please no, no this was not what I was planning for
…
“Avery, wait please listen to me. I
didn’t know it was yours. Please calm down.”
“Calm down?!?! YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM
DOWN?! JIMIN DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW? I just
can’t…I’m leaving..”
“Avery, wai-wait!”
And she rushed out from the coffee
shop.
Author’s POV
He ran after her. Somehow he also
felt a pang of pain in his heart.
“Avery!” He yelled, “Wait Please! Let
me explain!”
She kept walking away, walking as
fast as she could. But of course Jimin was faster and he finally got near her
and grabbed her hand and pulled her close.
“Please, let me explain,” he said
again as he moved his face closer to hers.
“What is there to explain…” her
voiced cracked and tears fell down..
“Avery…” Jimin said wiping her tears
away, “I am really sorry, I really am..Look at me Avery..” he said as he
touched her chin and hold it upward.
“Jimin…you don’t get it do you…whatever
you are doing right now…this is hard for me…Jimin, why..why don’t you understa-“
Before she even completed her sentence,
Jimin crashed his lips onto hers. He hold her tighter, and in his heart, he
promised he would never let her go. “I will never make that mistake again Avery,
I am sorry..” He said after he pulled back. “Please give me a chance.”
