Chapter 178 - You J-e-r-k!

Of all the reactions that Gyeom could have predicted when he turned back to Ye Heng in apology, tears in her eyes had not been one. Feeling guilty, he was about to apologize for not adhering to her wishes but before he could say a word, she stood up, pushed him away and an out of the garden.

Apollo shook his head and taunted, " Neanderthal. Way to spoil a girl's evening."

Ignoring Apollo and the others who had only just realized that something had happened, Gyeom said," I'll see you guys, later! And make up for today! But we have to go now.."

Running out of the backyard, Gyeom raced towards his car. It was already dark and Ye Heng had come here with him.. As expected she was not waiting for him near the car, but had already run out of the gates. Sighing, he started the car and prepared to follow her.

He soon found her a short distance away as she was stomping in her high heels as she wiped her tears. Slowing the car to a crawl he tried to keep up pace with her but then she started to run again. Afraid that she would fall, he speeded up the car a bit ad overtook her, making the car block her path. Before Ye Heng could change her route, Gyeom had jumped out of the car and was hugging her hard as he said," Ye Heng! I am sorry! I did not mean to hurt you! I just did not want to hide our relationship from our friends. Is being with me so shameful to you?" 

This caused Ye Heng to push him away angrily and she shouted angrily, "You are a jerk! JERK! I can't believe that you would be this devious, calculating and cunning! I never could have dreamed this!"

Gyeom frowned and caught her hands which were clenching on the sides and asked," I can agree that I am a jerk because I did not consider your request! But how does that make me devious and calculating! I did not even know you were planning to hide our relationship! Then how could I have calculated everything!"

"THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU USING ME TO SHOW YOUR LOVE THAT YOU HAVE MOVED ON! AND WHAT RELATIONSHIP? ALL WE HAVE IS THAT WE ARE BED PARTNERS! THAT IS NOT A RELATIONSHIP, GYEOM!"

Ye Heng screaming these words at him shocked him. What had Ye Heng been thinking all this while? Seeing that there were cars passing but, Gyeom picked her up before she could make up any more wild accusations and placed her into the rear seat of his car, activating the child lock and seeing that she was still going to try and escape, he threatened her," Ye ye! If you don't come with me now, I will be announcing to the world that you and I are bed partners! Do you understand! Remember I am a jerk!

Ye Heng stared wide eyed as she noticed that Gyeom was also angry.. Sitting meekly, she watched as he started to drive. But at this moment, she was lost in her own pain and had no interest in his anger. She stared out of the window and let her tears fall silently. He could ruin her career if he wanted. She would not mind one but! After all, everything she had had been given by him! But why did he have to break her heart?

She was happy in the relationship they were sharing. She had planned to cherish these moments for a lifetime. But he had ruined that...All for his selfish purposes. 

Shaking his head as he could practically see the wheels in her head turning in the wrong direction, he speeded up the car and drove home. 

Finally when he parked, he opened the doors and Ye Heng rushed outwards straight to her car. Before she could escape however, Gyeom caught her hand and pushed her against it," I am not letting you go until you explain! What do you mean by saying that I was using you. Are you saying that I kissed you because I wanted to show Zirui? Is that why you refused to let me tell everyone about our relationship? Ye Heng! Zizi and I were never anything more than friends. Yes, I accept that I had feelings for her but I don't need to use you to cover those! I wasn't even thinking of my past feelings when I came forward to kiss you! The only thing on my mind had been to claim you as mine! "

Ye Heng shook her head and denied his words. His actions spoke louder than words. Even their first night together he had been talking about Zizi and her coming back. How could she believe his words when his actions did not match.

Sighing, Gyeom pushed her back against the car and said," Ye Heng! Do you really believe something so despicable of me? I thought you understood me well"

"It is because I understand you well that I am doubting you, Gyeom. Tell me, have you not regretted everyday letting Zirui go? Have you not wanted her to have peace of mind over worrying about you being happy so you decided to show her today that you had moved on? Tell me Gyeom, where am I wrong? Does our relationship have any name that you want to give it? Heck you were so scared when I first announced that you were in a relationship in that interview, you couldn't wait to run away! Then why this sudden urge to announce this now? Can you tell me you don't love Zirui anymore? Can you prove that?" 

This stumped him and before he could formulate a reply, Ye Heng pushed him away, as she tried to open the car door. A panic unlike he had ever felt arose in Gyeom. He knew that if she left today, he would never be able to explain himself. Running, he grabbed the car keys from her, picked her up fireman style and ran towards the elevator.
