Feigning ignorance to seeing In-Ha seemed like something a five-year-old child who had her promise for candy broken would do. Even though Ni-Na hated to admit that she had something of hers broken too, she knew she wasn't a five-year-old, and for that, she wasn't going to act like she hadn't seen him, as that would only prove to In-Ha that she was hurt, and to her, that she was still weak and foolish.
But weak and foolish weren't words Ni-Na wanted to be associated with.
Maybe weak and foolish was her 11-year-old self, who fell for her brother's friend because he said the nicest words to her that made her feel prettier and smarter than all the other girls her age.
And foolish was her two nights ago when she had let down all the walls and defenses she had erected against the man who had made her restless for the last ten years but had no damn clue about it.
