"This belongs to Ahana" I whispered in surprise and kept looking at her. She looked up slowly at me with eyes wide and filled with fear and shocked like a deer caught in headlight.
"What?" Haneul asked confused because oviously the way I whispered it was only heard by the girl and Haneul could not hear me.
"This belongs to Ahana" I said again, a little bit louder and more confidently this time, eyes still digging holes through her poor soul. Her eyes now filled with new tears that soon flowed down from her eyes as she looked at my eyes as if pleading me to shut my mouth.
My head was starting to hurt from all the confusion that I was forced into due to her uncontrollable tears. If it is really Ahana then probably I should be the one to cry hear.
"Have you gone crazy Namchan? Did you just forgot how Ahana dresses up and how she talks? This girl is totally opposite of Ahana. What are you even thinking?" Haneul said sighing heavily at my so called stupid comments.
But I was much more sure than ever that this was Ahana.
"What exactly makes you think this is Ahana?" Haneul asked with suspicion in his voice, probably suspecting if I was going crazy or not.
And oviously making myself sound more stupid to him I replied, "Her eyes, these eyes belongs to Ahana"
"What?" Haneul asked, now totally annoyed with my bullshit.
"Okay, that is enough Namchan, if you can not comfort the helpless girl then just move back, I can talk to her and drop her to her house." Haneul said, pulling me on my feet and making me face him.
"No Haneul, You go home, I think I know her house and I can drop her off and she feels more comfortable around me then any other man" I said looking at her with a whole lot of confidence not sure from where I got that confidence though.
Although she didn't protested against my statement and just shifted her gaze from my face to her foot and hold on to the sleeve of my sweater and that was the cutest thing I have witnessed after the birth of Taebong.
Looking at her actions finally Haneul agreed to leave her with me as she was clearly wanting me to be with her there. Haneul left on his bike and I sat beside her. Now the road was almost empty except very few of sone loaded trucks showed up here and there.
We sat there for about 5-6 minutes without any word exchange. It was so meaningless yet so important for us to be around each other. It was weird how badly we wanted to be around each other even when clearly we are scared as shit from each other.
We were surely a hella weird two people.
It was getting late, it was almost 12:30 am and the cold was increasing. Her leather jacket was not doing much for her. She sifted a little towards me but then again sifted away.
I thought she was probably cold and wanted to sit close to me but hesitated. So I put my black sweater to on her shoulder and shifted closer to her.
She didn't even flinch, rather she came closer in my embrace. It was clear that it was not the cold she was way to vulnerable at this moment.
I opened my mask and oped her mask too, so that it would be easier for us to talk. She wore my sweater properly which was almost as long as upto her knees and her hand were atleast 2 inch inside the sleeves. As the sweater was oversized for me surely her little body would get lost in it and so it did. She looked adorable.
