"You Right" | Eunbi x Male Reader

“Entertain our guests, will ya kid?” The old man with nicely grown gray beard on his face told the young man who wears his own exquisite suit. “I got some friends on sight, gotta catch up with them.”

“Sure, Unc. I’ll take this one.”

I watched my Uncle left my side and trail across the direction where the friends he’s mentioning is at. I followed his commands, checked up some guests around here who were a fellow businessmen like us, making us all feel that we indeed share the same world being gathered in this room tonight. To celebrate for our company’s growth of spawning another branch in this country.

However, a reminder came upon me that this world we live in is indeed small, not only because you share the same room with some people today, but because of a certain someone that wasn’t actually giving a comfortable vibe in me.

It is truly unfortunate that I got to be stuck again in a world where he exists. And I thought I was a goner from his world for years.

I turn around, with distance far from me, there he was at the corner of the room entering by, chatting along with some familiar faces as he makes his presence within. My feet froze in motion, everything around me became so dull in my senses that the only thing I could feel was my anxiety and rage growing through the shock I emit of seeing him again.

Even in this path of the career that fate has brought me in, this son of a bitch still tails along to become a living nightmare that manifested from my past. It’s as if my destiny is for us to become close together in our lives, but not the type of a kindish relationship you could form with.

Because this man has been tormenting me from the beginning. Back when I was a nobody and I had nothing.

I still remember when that garbage did everything to make sure he takes the lead and I get left behind. It’s in his nature to become very insecure, jealous, egotistic maniac that no matter what happens he has to make that all of it ends up according to his way.

And I became a victim of a monster that he is. That’s why I wish that one day the biggest karma must strike back against him, maybe that’ll put a peace to my life for good measure.

As I recalled yelling that in fumes, almost planned to end myself from the miserable stage he put me into my academics that went along with my family’s personal struggle, my legs just started moving on its own.

It moved me closer, and closer, and closer to his spot. That one swift of his head will get his eyes notice me.

I don’t know why at first I want myself to be exposed in his radar, but when he started talking as he finally recognized who I am.

“
“YN, is that you? I haven’t seen you in years, after all the… history we had. Great to see you here…”

He leaned into my ears as if he wants me to hear the last word he’s about to say for me to hear it by myself. Like I deserve it.

“Underdog.”

Just like that, the imagery, the aura of him, the same old punkass who wants to get ahead of the people he thinks are easy to be dominated is back. He proved to me with that arrogant smirk, toxic pretend he’s putting himself on in front of these wealthy beings that some monsters like him are hopeless for a change.

And all that must be done for them is to be stopped. The karma I swore years ago came back, and now it’s all making sense to me now why my body moved on its own as I had that memory.

The one day I was referring to is now. The karma is me, if nobody dared to try stop him: then I must have to. Atleast, this would be my apology to the younger me who never dared to fight back.

I have to prove this time that he can’t let me be intimidated. I’m not the same as I was before. Now that we are on the same level again, I have to turn the tables around.

I’m gonna put him in my place once… but way worse.

I just smiled at him with a hint of irritation and despise of his face. As he lets go of our handshake, I caught that slight shake of his hand like he just held onto a trash, disgusted.

I was thinking about how could I accomplish my plans of bringing him down when I don’t know where to start, then with how dumb he is that he must not realize at all, he just gave me the answer for his downfall.

He clutched a woman’s waist onto him. We looked at each other briefly and as I observed that beauty in his hands, that must be the greatest treasure he must have nowadays.

The wedding ring in their fingers says it all. Now I know where I should start. Through her, I’m going to possess everything he cherish in his life.

As I was taking my time alone outside sipping the finest wine that I have been tasted for a while, footsteps echoed beside me. I went to find out who it is, and it felt like the taste of wine just became bitter on my tongue.

Here he was, his name is Adrien, standing side by side with me. The guests around here must be seeing us not having a guess at all that these two are one of the rivals present in the room.

“I’m surprised you made it this far.” He talked to me, still having that snicker I just want to torn it out of his face.

“I mean no chaos here, Adrien. What do you want from me?”

“Relax, bud. I didn’t come here to play with you, that’s all. We’re grown up adults now, you’re not a toy in my eyes to make fun of anymore.” He chuckled. I just kept a stoic face away from him. “Actually, I went here rather to express my amazement. Congrats on getting here.”

“Is that anything you really had to do for me?”

“Oh, about that, I want to also offer you a gift as a sign of my sincerity.”

“And that is?”

“I don’t know if you’re aware but my company is currently doing well on sales, making us well-recognized to this industry. Since I found out that your company is just learning and building up foundations to become large like us and truly belong, I am here to offer an assistance, and that is by forming a partnership with us.”

“And what if I don’t take it.”

“Wow, no hesitation of considering it atleast? It hurts, YN” As If you give a shit at how I’m in pain from the trauma you caused me. “Well, I can’t force you if you don’t.”

He stepped forward to me, his expression shifted from being chill to somewhat menacing, a glimpse of the old times I put myself in this exact same position where he threatens me. “But, rest assured that whatever big dreams and plans you wish for your company to achieve in the following years? I’ll wipe them all in an ease, and you don’t want to relive what we had before, right? I got even more resources to use it for your destruction, YN. Got that?”

I just stared at him fiercely. He went back to that mischievous smile and patted me on the cheek. “Choose wisely, YN. My office’s door is all open to let you in once you have the answer.”

He finally left me alone as he returns to the table to entertain his wife. I watched from the distance and I went staring at his hot wife unleashing that smile that brightens the mood. A perfect timing it is that he just bragged his connections while I was just planting seeds to steal everything away from him.

He has no idea how much he encouraged me to duel with him one last time. If I get to face a monster, then I have to become my own as well.

Few days later, my driver led me to the address where the headquarters of his company is located in. It was moderately far from mine, which I am pretty pissed off as well that I have to put an effort just to deal with a scumbag, I just remind myself to calm my stress that I’m doing this for revenge and so i just keep on moving on.

The receptionist I asked on his whereabouts helped me to search the office he was talking about, but as I was about to enter the elevator, the door opens to reveal the familiar woman that stole my attention from that night.

It was his wife, in his normal office attire, but still can’t erase how absolutely fine she appears. Staring at her feels like my senses going haywire, malfunctioning on how to greet her.

“A-are you Mr. Thompson’s wife?”

“Yes, I am. I know you from the party of your company, you and my husband know each other right?”

“Y-yeah, we are. We’re former classmates.”

“Oh so that’s why. Please come with me, he sent me to grab you.” She offered her hand and pointed the blank space beside her inside the carriage. I just nodded shyly and stood as she instructed me to do.

She pressed some buttons on the elevator, both of us were trapped in this awkward silence. “I-I’m Eunbi by the way.”

“YN.” I stated my name in return. “You also work in your husband’s company. I mean… the attire-”

“I’m his secretary.” She nodded.
