《MY Sweet Interlude》Part 57- Run
Advertisement
Yoongi's in panic mode inside but outside, he looks calm and nonchalant over the fact that Mrs. Lee is standing before him. Sara sees the dress that is on display at the store's window and she insists that they go in so she could try it on. Unfortunately, it's not available anymore in her size because the last one is being tried on by a customer. Sara wants to hang around and wait just in case the customer changes her mind. She goes wandering in the store while he decides to wait outside. He doesn't have the patience to follow her around. Then someone calls him. When he turns, he sees Aliya's mother smiling at him. He automatically bows to her in greeting.
"Hello Misis Lee oh I mean Misis Ahn." He says as he remembered she remarried. He got invited to the wedding but he couldn't make it. He dreads to ask the question if Aliya is with her because if she is, then that means she'll see Sara. Yes, it's his decision to get back to his ex, but he didn't want Aliya to know that. It's the same reason why he hasn't taken her to meet his other friends.
"It's nice to see you, it has been a while." The older lady studies him. "You look great. I'm sure Aliya will be glad to see you. She's just trying on a dress." Mrs. Ahn said.
Right then, the person they were talking about, walks in wearing the dress Sara wanted to get. So, she's the customer who's trying it on? Some lousy coincidence this is. Her eyes meets his and he finds himself holding his breath just as he did last night. He just saw her a few hours ago and yet here he is acting like it's his first time seeing her in a long time.
The last thing he needed is when Sara joins them and greets everyone in a cheerful tone. He wanted to close his eyes and groan in frustration over the twisted fate that just unfolded before him.
Aliya introduces herself as his friend, which is true, but he finds himself getting annoyed by that. He didn't miss the side glance Aliya gives him after introducing herself. What is she thinking? He wonders.
They had a brief chit chat with Mrs. Ahn as they waited for Aliya to change in the dressing room. Sara excuses herself so she could return the dress she is carrying back to the rack. He could sense Mrs. Ahn knows something about what went on between him and her daughter. He can also sense she isn't happy that he's with Sara right at this moment. Her tone of voice and the way she looks at him shows it. It's so damned uncomfortable to be in this situation. He's in such relief when Aliya's mom leaves when she returns from the change room. He had to decline the invitation to dinner for obvious reasons. She apologizes to him about her mom's tone during their previous conversation. She didn't wait for his reply but just starts to walk away. He finds himself watching her retreating back with a heavy heart, until Sara comes back and holds his hand.

"Your friend bought the dress that I wanted." She said.
He looks at her and feels bad for thinking of another woman other than her. He holds her other hand and said. "There's going to be another dress that you'll want and that one will be perfect for you."
*******************
Sara noticed Yoongi seems to much to not much respond that night, his mind seems somewhere else. When they were having sex, it feels like he's doing it because he has to...unlike before. When she asks if something is bothering him, he tells her he's just tired. She's seen him tired countless times but he's never like this. Since they got together, she noticed how different he is from before. She thought it's because of what she did to him, that he still holds a grudge. She feels like he isn't giving her his whole self as before. Often times, she finds him just staring into space. He'd read his phone and starts to type something, before deleting it and then he'd just puts his phone away, with a frustrated sigh. She didn't want to ask or demand anything from him. She's just glad that she got him back. She'll not let things bother her because she wants to make their relationship work this time. She loves him so much, she'll do anything for him.
But, things didn't get better as the days goes by after their short visit in Seoul. He buries himself into work, stopping when it's late at night. He'd tell her they can't meet because he just wants to rest. She could see it in his eyes, there is someone else. That is the only logical reason why he's behaving that way. She didn't even want to know who it is. Seeing him suffering inside is hard to watch.
She decided to talk to him after they got to his place, when he invited her for dinner after work.
Yoongi pulls her to him and she accepts his kiss, feeling the same empty kiss he'd give since they got back. Her heart sinks because she knew she has to do this. It's not easy but she has to.
"Yoongi, can I ask you something?" She asks him as she pulls away.
He nods his head but continues to hold her. She gives him a sad smile before pulling his hands off her, she walks towards a chair and sits. "I know you're not going to admit it, but I can tell that there is someone else. I've been noticing that since we got back from Seoul." She pauses to watch him but he just stands there with his hands shoved in his pockets. "Tell me honestly, do you still want to keep our relationship?"
"Y-yes." He tells her.
"You hesitated." She gives him another sad smile. "You must really love her." She takes a deep breath as she continues. "I have no choice, I will have to let you go back to her. I can't be selfish and keep you when I know that you love someone else." Tears starts to fall from her eyes and she wipes them away. "I had my chance with you before and I blew it."

Yoongi kneels in front of her and hugs her. "I'm sorry. I probably shouldn't have let our relationship start again in the first place."
"That's ok Yoongi. You tried and it's not just going to work. It's better to end it now." She pulls away from him and wipes her tears. "Tomorrow is our last day working together anyway, so that means we won't be seeing each other anymore."
"Will you be ok?" He asks.
"Yes." She answers as she stands up to leave.
"Let me see you home." He offers.
She shakes her head. "I'd rather that you won't. That's how this all started. I love you Yoongi and because I love you, I am letting you go so that you can be really happy with her."
"Sara." He says quietly as he looks at her.
She gives him a sad smile. "Your eyes speaks a lot and right now it's not shining for me." She steps forward and hugs him. "Goodbye Yoongi."
"Sara, I'm..."
"Don't say sorry because you didn't do anything wrong. You tried but it didn't work. That is just how it is. I guess fate allowed this so I can finally move on too." She turns away and exits the door.
She takes a tissue from her purse and continues to wipe her tears as she walks towards the elevator. She holds her tears because an old lady is with her. As she steps out, the old lady touches her arm.
"Letting go means new possibilities will come. Don't be sad. It's good that you have loved and let yourself be loved even if it didn't work out well in the end. He finds happiness and so will you. Just wait." She reaches for her hand and taps on it gently before walking away.
Sara couldn't understand why but after the old lady said those words and she touched her, she feels comforted.
***************
It's been more than a week since he and Sara had broken up. He's been dying to call Aliya but he couldn't. He's thinking of messaging her, but he can't confess his feelings through text, that's just too immature. He stopped reading their gc because he is annoyed over the fact that Aliya and Jin seems to be getting along. They'll banter at their gc and post pictures... like what the fuck? But then again, if he's too bothered by that, why can't he just let Aliya know? What if she ends ups telling him to fuck off because she'd rather be with Jin? Hell, he didn't want that to happen. The thought just kills him.
At work, he tells the office in Seoul that he is ready to go back. They give him the go signal to come back after the final interior review at the end of the coming week. He didn't get to meet Sara again. He feels bad, but she assures him she's fine when he called her the next day after they had a talk.
His flight to Seoul is set on Saturday afternoon. Thursday night, he gets a call from Jin, he didn't like that his friend is calling him.
"Hey, how are you?" Jin asks him.
"I'm going home on Saturday." He answers back.
"That's good. I won't keep you for long, but I just wanted to let you know something." Jin pauses for a bit before continuing. "I know you and Aliya had a thing before. I know it's one of those no commitment thing and that things are over between you. So with that, I am just letting you know that I want to make her my girl. I'll formally ask her tomorrow night. Things had been doing well between us and I can't hold myself from asking her anymore."
Yoongi scowls at the screen. "Did she tell you that she likes you?"
Jin chuckles in response. "She loves me Yoongi. It's not hard to miss the way she looks and smiles at me. How she responds to my kiss."
Why the hell is he telling him that, he is just not sure but it's making his blood boil for sure. "You kissed her?" He almost growls. He can almost picture them together and his vision goes red.
"Hey, I don't go kiss and tell but yes. That's all I can tell you. So you're ok with all this right? I am going to make Aliya my girl tomorrow night." He growls again in response over what his friend said. "I'll take that as a yes. Goodnight Yoongi." He said before hanging up.
Yoongi throws his phone at the wall and he watched it get smashed before falling on the floor. He didn't care, he can always get a new one. But he can never get a new Aliya. He can't let Jin have her without him trying. He hates himself for getting scared in getting into a relationship with her. He regrets every single moment of it now. A lot of 'if only' won't do him much. He needs to get into action. He starts looking for a flight back to Seoul right after work or even earlier, anything as long as it'll bring him back home. He recalls the pictures they posted in their gc, Aliya does look happier around him. What if she loves Jin and not him? She's always been sweet to everyone, himself included. Those times they were together were so precious. He thought she cares for him but he always doubted it, because she is in love with Taehyung. Wait, has she given Taehyung up for Jin? Fuck, that thought makes him feel sick. He needs to run home fast.

Heavenly Flame
Every prince born in the Tian Dynasty goes through a ritual to recover memories from their previous lives. With these memories, they receive amazing cultivation techniques and martial skills that make them stand above all other men and able to rule the world from the Heavenly Court. When Tian Yan wakes up from the ritual, he realizes something is wrong and he does not seem to possess any of the advantages he was expecting. Will he be able to compete in the backstabbing, scheming, and politicking that is required to succeed his father and inherit the Imperial throne? Or even survive? After all, they stand above all other men and that means the biggest threat to a prince is the other princes. Heavenly Flame is a Xianxia story with a heavy focus on drama, relationships, and romance. It will have a lot of recognizable things from the genre but I will also try to subvert elements that I do not like about it. Scheduled chapters will be released Tuesdays at 11:00 CET and Thursdays at 19:00 CET. I might still release additional chapters depending on my other workload but these will be marked as such.

P.A.D. World (Rebirth)
This is the story of two worlds. One is known as real and the other as virtual. But let the question be explored: What is reality to you? Synopsis: In a future of corporate rule, virtual technology and physical-derived coding have become the norm. With technology advancing at an alarming rate, the CEO of one such corporation, Shinji Takamura, discovers a code derived from the world itself. He dubs it: The Universal Code. After implementation, Takamura accesses a world that feels as real as his own. Following his death, the three largest tech companies unite to finish the ultimate virtual reality game: Puzzle and Dragons World. The closed LAN Beta Test is ready to admit the best Players of the original Puzzle and Dragons. Ray Andylon is one of these few chosen to test the new virtual game. But Ray and the other Players soon find themselves questioning the world's reality. War looms as the malicious agendas of enemy Players and monsters are revealed. And in the real world, conspiracies unfold that could threaten both worlds. Cover Art is "Puzzle and Dragons_Metatron" by shadowsinking. Check her stuff out! Seriously!DA:https://www.deviantart.com/shadowsinking Twitter:https://twitter.com/shadowsinking?lang=en This story currently has a biweekly schedule (may shift to weekly). Sometimes, I am able to get out earlier chapters. Note: This story is not a typical fanfiction. It is mainly an authentic work. This story only uses monster names/appearances, names of locations and the orb-matching strategy combat system from the app game on android/ios. The rest is original, which means prior knowledge for readers is not required. The app game has no plot, and this work also has no relation whatsoever to the anime aired starting in 2016. The goal was to create a story using these monsters, giving them personalities and purposes beyond just images and stats.

Clarent Saga: Chronicles
Based on my work on Saga of the Jewels, I've been hired by an indie game developer to write the novel for their 'novel + turn-based battles' game which is in Early Access on Steam. Of course, a 'novel + turn based battles' is a terrible idea for a game, which is why no other games like this exist, but hey, the developer is paying me. And if something's worth doing at all, it's worth doing as well as possible, so I am going to give this project my very best shot and try to make it as good as it can be. So if you read this, please give me feedback on the story to help me make it as good as it can be! Please note, for this story I have been given a pre-existent set of characters, character back-story sketches and a rough plot to work with. I also have to insert random battles into the narrative, have set characters appear in a certain order, and have the party fight fixed bosses in a certain order, all at fixed points! Please also note that this is a first draft. I will be editing and re-working this in the future and re-posting it. But I need helpful feedback, if anyone can give it. You can also find the game version of this on Steam by searching there for 'Clarent Saga: Chronicles'.
