Lijuan's eyes widened in surprise the moment Yun stepped inside the hall and sat down in the empty seat beside her. She had remembered the Kleptomaniac support group meeting was to hold that evening, so she had decided to join them instead of sitting at home feeling sorry for herself.
Yun saw the surprise on her face and he didn't miss her swollen red eyes either. He covered her hand with his own and held it down even when she tried to pull her hand away.
They both sat down quietly as they listened to the others share the stories of their struggles with Kleptomania.
Yun handed Lijuan his handkerchief when tears dropped from her eyes as she listened to a young lady recount her struggle with low self-esteem and how her partner was helping her overcome it.
She almost broke into a sob when the said lady's husband stepped out to give his wife a hug. Yun squeezed her hand gently since he could understand why she was feeling so emotional about it.
