Who To Believe?

Min Jun

Juniper and I haven’t seen too much of each other since the club incident. We still get the daily call in, the video calls have decreased and Juniper has been going to work from her place. She landed the position, I knew she would, she’s very talented and she deserved it. But with her working so much, we aren’t able to see each other. I miss her so much. I just want to talk to her and reassure her that I don’t want Samantha back and I would never cheat again. I needed her to understand that me cheating with Samantha back then was a total mistake and it never should’ve happened, but I can’t take it back because it happened.

I had bought Juniper a Christmas gift and I wanted to give it to her so I decided to drop by her place to give it to her. I also had one for Chanel as well. I had been out earlier delivering my gifts to my friends and my last stop was Juniper’s. I reached Juniper’s floor and walked out the elevator door; I had to step to the side as a guy ran around the corner to the elevator. I turned as he caught the doors from closing. I recognized him, it was Caleb. I froze in the hallway as the doors closed over his direct stare towards me. Was he looking at me? Did he just come from Juniper’s place? Why in the fuck is this happening? I picked up my pace to Juniper’s door; when I turned the corner, I heard a door close and it seemed as if it was on Juniper’s side.

I walked over to her door and knocked, she quickly opened the door and looked surprised to see me. She looked beautiful and comfortable. I loved the curve of her body; she was not built like the normal Korean woman, she was thick and shapely. Her hips flowed wide and around; symmetrical with her ass. She had on a pair of light blue jeans, mismatched socks and house shoes. She had a cute gray Fila sweatshirt on and her hair hung loose with curls hanging over her forehead. She was just herself and I cared for her so much. She smiled when she realized it was me and she opened her arms as I approached her.

“Oh Min Jun, I didn’t expect you so soon.” She said as I wrapped my arms around her.

“I missed you so much.” I said. I didn’t care to know if that was Caleb or not at that moment, I wanted to be present in that moment having her wrap herself around me. I picked her up and wrapped her legs around my waist as I walked into the apartment. I kicked off my shoes quickly and carried her into the living room.

“Hey Min Jun!” Chanel sang as I dropped Juniper on the couch. Chanel stood and gave me a big, tight hug. “Merry Christmas!” She said, I smiled and laughed. She always brings a smile to my face.

“Merry Christmas Chanel. Here this is for you. I was going to leave it for you and ask Juniper to deliver it for me, so I’m glad I'm able to give it to you.” I said, handing her the bag. She smiled a big smile and slightly bowed.

“Gamsahabnida.” Chanel said. My eyes widened, she was learning the Korean language too.

“Good!” I said holding up two thumbs up and giggled. I turned to Juniper and handed her the other bag.

“Aegiya, Merry Christmas.” I said kissing her on the cheek. I removed my coat and hung it up as she peeked into the bag.

“Merry Christmas. I thought you were coming later.” She said, I sat down on the couch next to her and she leaned back with her gift bag.

“I finished everything a bit early and I really wanted to see you.” I said caressing her face. She smiled and puckered her lips for a kiss.

“Alright y’all, y’all can stop with all that. I don’t have anyone here, wait to y’all get to the room.” Chanel said as she was still going through the bag. She reached the air pods. “Aw Damn Min Jun, thank you!” She screamed. I laughed, Juniper giggled.

“You’re welcome.” I stated. Juniper handed me a box complete with a bow.

“Thank you.” I was excited that she got me a gift. I hope she enjoys hers, she only knows of one, the other is in my coat pocket.

“I hope you like it.” I said as she pulled out a pretty decorated box finished off with a red bow.

She slid the bow off and opened the box. Inside were two his and hers bracelets. Hers had a small, thin leather braided strap with a silver nameplate, with an inscription: ‘geuui yeon-in’ in Korean hangul letters; mine had the same leather strap and the inscription: ‘geunyeoui yeon-in’. She looked at both of them and smiled.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

“What does it mean?” Juniper asked, looking at both of them. I took her hand and picked up her bracelet.

“His Lover.” I bluntly stated. Juniper blushed as did I. She smiled as she held out her wrist while I placed it on her. She picked up the other bracelet and I held out my wrist. “And this one says, Her Lover.” I said looking at her smile. She leaned over and gave me a nice, wet, soft kiss. I missed her so much, but I have to control myself, we were not alone.

“Y’all, I’m going home. I don’t need this shit.” Chanel said, picking up her bags and heading for the door.

“No Chanel, don’t go. We’ll stop, promise.” Juniper said quickly.

“Yes, please stay, we will be good.” I said, pleading with her to sit down. Chanel rolled her eyes and sat down, she smiled and we giggled. “Good, because I didn’t feel like being cold and alone. I’m staying on the couch.” She said, Juniper giggled. I wanted to talk to Juniper first before I gave her the other present.

“Juniper, can I speak with you privately for a moment?” I asked softly in her ear. She stood up and held out her hand; I took it and followed. She walked over to her bedroom as I grabbed a small bag out of my coat pocket.

We went inside her room and closed the door. We sat down on the bed, facing each other and holding hands. I wanted to make everything right again, but I didn’t know how, I don’t even know how shit got this bad so quickly.

“I wanted to ask you something.” I started. She looked at me and her face changed to focus. She looked at me intensely. “Do you trust me?” I asked.

“I do and I don’t, if I’m being honest.” She said and it stung a bit, because she said she didn’t. But it was an honest answer as I had the same feelings. However, I wanted to work past them and I needed to know if she was the type of woman who is willing to work past the obstacles or does she jump ship and run away?

“Thank you for being honest.”

“How about you, do you trust me?” She asked.

“I did, but I’m wavering.”

“Are you?” She said changing her tone.

“Only because I saw Caleb earlier.” Her face froze. She knew I was right, it was him. She searched for a response and came up with one to match.

“Oh. He showed me the video. The one with you and Samantha at the studio.” She spoke softly. I had nothing to say. I hadn’t told her about that video that was floating around.

Since the first video that leaked online, people have been interested in my life now. They want to know how am I doing as an ex-trainee with a normal job by day and a dance instructor at night. It seems as though they have created an online story with Juniper and I being in a relationship, which everyone seems to love. We are a couple they enjoy seeing, as per the comments on the videos that I’ve read. I have to thank Jin, as he shows me any videos he finds online. He also found the video with Samantha and me dancing at the studio. She had come in and paid for class, unfortunately I was the only one who wasn’t booked at the moment. The amount she paid to book me for the remainder of the day, could have paid my rent for 2 months. I didn’t want to take money from her to give her leverage, so I had her donate it to the studio. I didn’t tell Juniper about it because I didn’t want her to be worried about Samantha; I have no feelings for her, but not telling Juniper seems to have put me in a bad position.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about it. I didn’t think about it. It meant nothing.” I wasn’t helping my case.

“Caleb came over to warn me about Samantha.” She said, My eyes widened and I became concerned.

“What did he mean?”

“He said that she really wants to be back with you and that she’s not going to stop until she splits us apart.”

“Well that won’t happen.” I said holding her hands. She smiled and looked down at our hands.

“Are you sure? Because all of this shit that is happening, I don’t know.” She said looking worried. Her big brown eyes looked at my soul. She was looking for reassurance, she was looking for guidance.

“Yes. I promise. We are going to be together, forever.” I said, and I meant it. “I know there is a lot of stuff coming at us at the moment, but I’m not giving up on us because I want you to be with me. I want to take care of you, and I will do all that I can to make sure that happens and that you’re happy.” I said. She was shocked and thrown off. She looked as if she had fallen in love with me. She covered her mouth as I pulled out the small box from the small bag. Her eyes bulged as I slowly opened the ring box. It was a pair of couple rings, the engraving matched the bracelets.

“I promise to be with you and only you, forever and always.” I said holding out her ring that I pulled from the box.

“Oh Min Jun.” She said, holding up her hand. I slid the ring on her finger and it fit perfectly. She picked up the other and slid it on my ring finger.

“I promise to be with you and only you, forever and always.” She said, I was happy and my emotions took control. I started tearing up and looked down. Juniper noticed and she tipped my head up; she had been crying too. I grabbed her and she wrapped her arms around me. I loved her and she loved me, even though we were still doubting. We were determined to fight for this love.
