Hating You

Pauline stared in dazed at the ten letters from Mr. Grim on her study table, that scene earlier with Bin Young was creeping the hell out of her. She didn't know if he was playing her or it was merely coincident. But the big question was to why the letter fell on the floor the moment Bin Young walked out from her? It also happened to Seung Joon, that rooftop scene where the paper left as he went out to the door. She massaged her temple, her migraine was starting to prick again.

She got into her feet to her bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet. She pulled the pills that her doctor prescribed and tossed it to her mouth.

She went back to her room and dropped herself in her vanity chair. Pauline looked at her reflection, inspecting herself. In his letters, Mr. Grim always wrote that she was beautiful when she smiled. Pauline smiled at the mirror but it turned out to be twisted sneer like the smile of Ursula of the Little Mermaid.

Mr. Grim must be blind. I don't look beautiful when I smile.

Pauline sighed and lean her elbows on the chair. She scowled.

If Mr. Grim would never reveal himself to me, I'd stop him. Stop this madness and live a normal life.

These past few days, she began to have mild attacks of migraine. It all started when she began receiving letters from him. Being the CFO of the big entertainment agency was no joke so she had to do the best she could for the company. Mr. Grim would only added the stress she was having already.

This should be stopped.

Pauline was on the lavatory as she washed her hand. When she finished drying her hands, she made her way out but stopped when she saw a familiar paper on the floor. She rolled her eyes and picked the letter. She quickly opened the letter and read.

Dear Miss Pauline,

You look so lovely today.

I really can't take my eyes off you.

Mesmerized,

Mr. Grim

Pauline sighed heavily and stared at his letter. She dig onto her purse and pulled a pen. She scribbled some sentences on the back of his letter and when she was done, she emerged from the lavatory. Pauline raised her hand with the letter and dropped it mercilessly to the floor. She walked out without looking back. She was well-aware that Mr. Grim was watching her from afar.

She tried to forget the words she wrote at the back of his letter. Her heart began to constrict as she slowly walked out. Walked away from her Mr. Grim.

***

Alone in the dark, Mr. Grim slowly emerged from where he was hiding. He slowly approached where Pauline dropped the letter he gave. He picked it up and read silently. When he was done, tears flowed from his eyes.

Mr. Grim,

Just stop this nonsense, Mister. Do you think it's funny?

I'm a very busy woman and you're trying to add the stress levels I have already. And my migraine has worsened when you start giving me these trash of letters of yours.

You think I'll be able to feel giddy and get excited when I received your letter? Honestly, NO! It pisses me off big time!

You said you're falling in love with me? Haah! I think you're blind enough to know how monstrous and savage I can be.

You're a nuisance. Stop bothering me!

Hating you,

Pauline
