"But you don't even know me well." said Ji-a, softly. "I'm not easy. There are many out there who thinks I'm crazy. Will be able to stand it? Will you trust me no matter what?"
"Ji-a, look at me." said Jin and Ji-a looked at him. "I'm willing to stand by your side. I'll do whatever it takes to make you trust me."
"What is it that you like about me?" asked Ji-a.
"I like everything about you." He paused for a while and continued, "I don't want you to feel pressured. If you need time to think, take your time. Even if it's a million years, I'll wait." answered Jin.
"Let's give it try." mumbled Ji-a softly.
"Really?"
Ji-a nodded.
"So, today is our day one." said Jin. Jin looked so happy and Ji-a could see tears glistening in his eyes.
Ji-a only smile and bowed down her head because she was so shy.
"Alright then, let's eat something. I ordered some take-out. They will be here soon."
After eating, Ji-a felt drowsy. "I want to take a nap."
"Let's go upstairs." said Jin and lead the way. Jin took her inside a bedroom with a king size bed. It was spacious with a closet and vanity table. There were no any other furnitures.
"You can change into something comfortable if you like. I'll wake you up in the evening." said Jin and kissed her lightly on her forehead. Even though it was a small gesture, Ji-a felt warm. After that Jin left the room for Ji-a to change. Ji-a changed into a cotton oversized shirt and slept. When Jin came up to check on Ji-a, she was fast asleep. Jin came near the bed and looked at her lovingly.
"Thanks for trusting me, Ji-a." He looked at Ji-a's frown and soothed it lightly with his fingers. "Why do you frown even in you sleep?" He asked quietly.
He switched off the lights before going downstairs as he thought the lights might disturb her sleep.
It was past 6 pm when Ji-a woke up. The room was dark and Ji-a was sweating. She didn't know what to do and just sat on the bed. Her heartbeat accelerated fast and any longer, she would faint. Just then, the door was opened and the light was switched on. Jin saw Ji-a sitting on the bed. "You call that a nap? You were sleeping for three hours." He walked towards Ji-a. However, Ji-a didn't say a word. Jin looked at her and she was sweating profusely. "Ji-a, what's wrong?" He could see tears falling down her cheeks. "What happened?" He held Ji-a's hand and patted her back. It took quite some time for Ji-a to come back to her senses. "Nothing." she said.
"Were you scared?" I'm sorry for leaving you all alone. " said Jin and hugged Ji-a.
" Let's go downstairs, I already prepared dinner. " He held Ji-a's hand and lead her towards the kitchen. Ji-a ate silently. She didn't want Jin to know about her condition. Ji-a ate to her heart's content and after dinner, she opened her mouth. "Do you have some dessert?"
All this while, Jin was holding Ji-a's hand in his. "You want dessert? I have some ice-creams. Will it do?" asked Jin.
Ji-a nodded her head.
Jin took out a big box of chocolate ice-cream from his fridge and gave it to Ji-a.
Ji-a took the big box, "You should also eat."
"I'll eat just a spoon." said Jun.
After eating the ice-cream, Ji-a felt much lighter and exhaled deeply. Jin looked at her eyes and felt quilty. "I'm sorry for leaving you all alone. I won't do it ever again."
"What are you apologising for? I just had a nightmare." said Ji-a and laughed lightly.
She looked at her phone and realised it was already 8 pm. "It's late. I should get going."
"You're leaving already." said Jin, disappointed. "I'll drop you."
Just as they got up from the sofa, there was a lightning and a heavy downpour followed. "It's dangerous to drive in this weather." said Ji-a quietly.
"Let's wait for a while." said Jin.
They waited for an hour. Since they were getting bored, they decided to watch the news. In the weather forecast, it said that they highway they were going to take was blocked due to landslide.
"Looks like you'll have to sleep here." said Jin with a smirk.
"What are you implying? I'm going home." answered Ji-a.
"Not in this weather." said Jin.
Since there was no other way, Ji-a couldn't go home that day. She decided to call her mom. "Mom, I'm at a friend's and I can't return. There's a landslide on the highway I have to take."
"Which friend, honey?"
"It's a new friend, mom. I recently met her at a new company. Don't worry, mom." Ji-a comforted her mom and hung up.
Ji-a turned around to see Jin looking at her with a sexy grin. "Which friend were you talking about? I'm your boyfriend."
Ji-a avoided his eyes and said, "I need to shower. Where's the bathroom?"
"The bedroom have a bathroom. You can use it." answered Jin.
"Don't turn off the lights." said Ji-a and ran upstairs.
Ji-a didn't know something like that would happen so she didn't bring any extra sets of clothes. She wasn't used to wearing unwashed clothes so, she washed her bra and panty to wear the day after when she return home. She came out wearing only the oversized shirt and a towel over her head. What surprised her was the Jin was already lying on the bed?
"Don't tell me you're sleeping here?" asked Ji-a.
