Too many what if's ran through Ji Hyun's mind and she couldn't find an answer to any of them… All she knew was that she was risking her life on this unknown stranger who was giving her the feeling of warmth… the feeling which was snatched away from her since her brother's death.
Her brother was the one who used to be with her all the time but, when her only brother was killed in such a way that she couldn't even think of… Ji Hyun felt that she was snatched from every happiness from her life. She forgot what smile was until today, she met this unknown stranger who made her smile a little unknowingly!
While she was running away from all of this to protect herself, the actual culprit was roaming free void of any accusations or suspicion!
When the car came to a halt, Ji Hyun looked at the man in wonder. She looked around to identify the place where they were at but, this place… No… this area was new for her!
"Where are we?" A question escaped through her lips but, she got no answer from him. She stared at the house which was ahead of her. Nothing seemed to cross her mind as she stared at that house. She couldn't know where she was unless the man in front of her told her by himself.
"You are not getting down?" She heard his masculine voice and she looked at him. Their eyes met and the familiar tickle began to grow in her heart. She didn't know what it was, and she shook her head to clear away her thoughts.
She heard footsteps approaching her and she saw him very close to her; just separated by the red door.
"Didn't you say that you needed a place to stay?" As she heard him speak from this close, a faint smell of mint went into her nostrils.
"Huh?" Her eyes grew large as she realized that all what she had thought of him was completely wrong. He had just bought her over here so, that she could stay. Still, she felt the need to be cautious no matter how much she began trusting him…
"Ah! Yes!! Yes!! I had asked for staying at your place…"
"But you can't stay there!" He cut her off again.
'Why is he interjecting in between?' A slight annoyance crawled up on her face as she thought of him cutting her off again and again and again.
"C'mon… Get down!" He said and moved a little further away from her so, that she could open her door. Park Ji Hyun opened her door and stepped down of the jeep. Some sort of confusion was written over her face as she walked behind him to the house.
"So…" The man stopped and faced her. He pointed at the house behind him and took out a pair of keys from inside his pocket "This… These are the keys for the house and… umm… you can stay here until you like or until you are healthy enough to leave!"
"Okay!! Thank you!" She bowed down to express her gratitude towards the man.
No wonder why when someone dear leaves and goes, you can't help but, feel upset upon their departure!!
And the same was happening to Ji Hyun. She didn't know why she was feeling upset to see him leave. She wanted him to stay for longer!
Yet she didn't know how she could stop him!
"Excuse me!!" As something came through her mind, she called out to him. She didn't even know his name so; she felt the need to at least know the name of the person who was helping her.
"Yo...your name?" Never once in her life had she stammered before yet today… she was! Not once but quite a lot of times!
"Ahh!!" The man smiled and scratched his head. "I'm sorry!" He stretched out his hand for a handshake and answered, "My name is Han Seo Jun!"
Ji Hyun noticed his smile… It was cute and boyish. She liked it! She immediately shook his hand with hers and she really couldn't understand why just by touching his hand, she was feeling really good?? Like it felt really amazing.
As she thought of it, her face began to heat up and she immediately let go of his hand and turned around. Facing her back to him, she stammered again "Alright!! Thank you, Mr. Han!" She unlocked the door to get inside when another thought came through her brain.
She quickly turned around and their eyes met again for the second time. She noticed those green eyes. A small mole was just near the corner of his right eye making his eyes look captivating.
"Can you do me one more favor? Please??"
