4: Breaking Up
The day went on without a hitch otherwise. You had been working on some projects for your portfolio when suddenly your phone lit up.
Jihyun
Read your caller ID. You were pretty irritated with him, but you figured if he was calling then it had to be important.
"Hel--" You began.
"Rika's pregnant." V interrupted you. You could feel your heart drop as the words left his mouth. This was it. Game over for you. Loser. There was no way he would even bother with you if he was going to have a family with Rika. "At least so she says." V added quietly.
"Ji-- V" You corrected yourself, in case someone was listening in. "Are you... coming over so we can talk about it?"
"I don't think I should come over any time soon. Rika needs all of my attention right now..."
"Oh. Well, I mean it was fun while it last--"
"So you should come over here."
"What?" You were astonished. Just earlier today, he was insistent that you stay away from Mint Eye.
"Please come over to Mint Eye. We... could use your help on a project."
" I don't know if that's a good idea..."
"Please. Come over." This was Jihyun begging you.
"I'm still not happy with you." You responded hesitantly. "But fine. What's the job?"
"I'll explain when you get here. I'll have the paperwork ready. I'll text you the address." And he hung up.
Typical Jihyun. Vague and on his own time. You thought as you rolled your eyes. Today had been a roller-coaster of emotion and it wasn't over yet.
Grumbling as you pulled up to this mysterious mansion, you wondered why V had called you hear, when the realization hit you.
He's trying to be nice and break up with me in person.
Groaning, you knocked on the large doors in front of you. Saeran opened them up and to your surprise, smiled and invited you in.
"I am... I mean... we are so glad you decided to accept our offer! I'll take you to V and then we're going to get to work together! All the best computer stuff is in my office."
"Oh thank you... but I have my own laptop, so I can work anywhere."
Scowling, Saeran looked back at you. "You'll work in my office."
"Well, alright." You weren't going to push it. According to V, Saeran had something of a hair-trigger temper and it was best not to get on his bad side. Similarly with Rika. It was a long walk to where ever V was, and there was a lot of weird stuff along the way. Framed portraits of Rika, mantras and chants written on the wall, all sorts of expensive things. It wasn't much like a normal church you'd seen... this was a little more cult-like. V had insisted it was a church however, and you had been inclined to believe him. Soon enough, you arrived at V's office.
"Saeran, you can leave us. She has a lot of paperwork she needs to fill out. I'll send her to you when she's done." V said to Saeran. Saeran rolled his eyes at this. V was technically above him, so he had to listen to him, and reluctantly left.
"YN..." V took a deep breath, removed his sunglasses and covered his teary eyes with his hand.
"I can't see you anymore" "You can't see me anymore" You both said at the same time.
