~Chapter 2~

<long chapter ahead>

Y/n's pov

"Not again eonni! I told you to be more careful since the last time !" Lisa yelled from the kitchen as she heard me drop the cake which was to be showcased after decorating it.

Beside going to the dance studio I work as a part timer in a cafe which was not too far from my apartment.

'I would call it a deja vo that this girl, Lisa, found me two years ago ....'

Flashback~

I was tired after running miles on the streets at night.... I didn't know where I was but these street lights were the only source who were showing me a path to move forward.

'I can't look back after coming this far.'

So far I haven't came across anything but darkness of soul less streets.

The highway was all empty as if the I'm on another planet... all by my self.

'Not even a single creature ... I guess I'm all alone now....'

It was all dark as the night sky was shinning with stars .But in the horizon the faint lights lit up indicating , soon the darkness of the sky will be gone.

'I needed to hide . I could not be seen ....'

I tried to keep my pace but I failed every time. My body didn't had enough energy to move any further.

'Come on Y/n , you have to find a place to spend a day before moving out tonight again. '

Since past three days I've been hiding at day time and made sure the way was clear before moving at night.

'Leaving Seoul may not be a choice but I didn't had any option left...'

I kept looking at the horizon as it made me feel as if I'm somewhere I belong to.

'This place gives me weird feelings....'

Time to time I felt that the sky was beautiful that night. Though I have watched the night sky of many places but it just felt different.

My visions were getting blurry .I knew I was running out of time before my exhaustion takes over my body and make me limp but I still kept my pace.

Not having any food in my stomach made me throw up few times. It didn't bother me ... all I knew was I had to keep moving until I reach the somewhere safe.

My right arm was severely injured after jumping from the moving vehicle.

'Could have been worse if I was shot instead of some glasses in my wounds and a deep cut.'

'Come on just a little distance from here...'

Soon in a distance , I saw a bus station with a flickering light which was soon to be fused.

'Someone will be there to replace it with a new one. Funny is it that the lights were me .... but replaced by someone new...'

But before I could move any further , my body gave up and I feel straight on the concrete floor.

'Ahhh!!th..at hurts...'

I wasn't able to move . I feared if I would get caught. I tried wiggling my body a little but it didn't budge to move an inch.

'What if my end is here...?'

I tried keeping my eyes open but they were too heavy to stay open.

'I can-'

Before I blacked out I saw a silhouette running towards me .

I tried opening my eyes but it felt heavy... as if it was closed for a long time.

As my body gained consciousness I felt pain in each of my joints.

'They hurt soo bad.'

Suddenly I imagined being taken back to Seoul.

My body tensed as I tried thinking what happened last night.

'No no no !! I can't be back ! My whole plan will be in drains!! I would rather die instead of living in hell!'

My eyes shoot open from fear but the bright lights made it uncomfortable to see anything.

'Too bright...!'

After adjusting to the light I saw nothing but the ceiling which was painted in white with some light's attached to it.

'Am I locked somewhere?!! No no please no!'

I tried moving my arms but felt something stick to my arms. It felt like needle. I moved my arms more further just to feel the edge.

'Is it a bed?'

I moved my head on the right to have a clear picture of where was I. There was a door not to far closed . And there were some shelves and trays near the bed with all the equipment which are used for medical purposes.

I moved my head on the left to see a window , closed but visible enough to see outside. The day light filled the room with brightness.

There was a sitting area near the window . A cup of coffee was kept on the table which brew steams.

'Someone must have been here...'

I tried sitting up but my body seems to be in defeat to me.

After some struggling I sat up with a pillow at the back to support me.

'So I'm in a hospital. But who bought me here?'

My thoughts were interrupted by the opening of the the door , revealing a girl . She had a blonde hair with bangs which made her look cute.

'Wait what?'

By her height I could guess she was quite taller than me, she wore a black tee along with a pair of 90's jeans along with a pair of sleek shoes.

As soon as she noticed me she came rushing ,checking me if I was all good or not.

I was feeling kinda weird , no one behaved like that to me.

"Who are you?! And stop touching me you blonde head !"

I screamed at her when she was being all touchy and way too concerning towards me.

"He-hey I ca-"

"How did I came here?! I dare if you tou-"

I was interrupted by the door opening revealing a well dressed man with a stethoscope lingering around his neck...

'Must be the doctor.'

"Ah .. I see you have woke up ." He said as he approached to me along with some files in his hands.

"Seems so...." I trailed of having nothing to talk anything to him rather than that blonde girl standing at the edge of the bed.

'Who comes to a room just like that? Does she has any manners ? Didn't her parents taught her to knock the door before coming in?'

I gave a death glare to her as she kept adverting eye contact with me.

"Um.. miss could you leave as I have few things to talk to her about her condition. "He said to the girl who nodded as she made her way to the door... before she left she gave a last glance as the door closed at her back.

"Miss ... I don't want to interfear in your personal life but were you abused at home?" He asked as he sat at the edge of the bed looking directly in my eyes.

'Did he...'

"May I ask why you ask that question."

"Not only your arm but your whole body has bruises everywhere.  We are concerned about you being kept held at your home, so if you want help we could call the pol-"

"No you don't need to."

"But mi-"

"I said no."  I turned my head not wanting to talk anymore further.

'I hope I can get out of here soon. But where will I go now...'

"How are you feeling Miss Y/n ?"

"Feeling exhausted . My joints hurts alot ."  I said still not looking at him.

"Its because your body's reserve resources are depleted and since you had been walking alot you might have some psychological stress on your body , specifically your lower part of the body....but there are no any serious issues but you need to stay here in bed for few health checkups and after that you are good to go mis-"

"Who bought me here?" This time I looked at him not wanting to hear his scientific talk about my body.

"The girl who left .It was grateful of her that she bought you at the hospital on time."

He said as he starting looking at the file's in his hand.

I turned my head towards the window .... 'the sky seems to be clouded....'

'the sky is going to cry tonight.'

'I should be thankful to her for saving me but instead I was just being a whole dumbass. But she was just too sweet and just....'

I heard the door closing at the back .

'He must have left. Should I say sorry?'

_____

'The blonde haired girl didn't came to my room for the whole day.... seems so she might never come again.

Despite of my every attempt to walk properly , it became more difficult to walk properly.

Like this I can't leave soon... '

Feeling betrayed I sat on the bed cursing my legs for not supporting me , but my cursing was interrupted by a knock on the door.

I didn't thought twice before shouting the person to come in.

"You!"

"O-oh ya .. I bought dinner for you ." Despite me shouting she didn't showed any sign of being hurt.

'Didn't it bother her?'

"I wanted to Thank you for saving me last nigh-"

"Two days..." she spoke as she slowly approached the bed with the food tray.

"What?"

"You were unconscious for two days."

"Wha ....," ' two whole dam days.Did I hear it wrong?'

"You mean I was unconscious for two days ,laying in this bed in a strange city , helped by a stranger and is being ordered to stay here for my sake!"

She was shocked by my sudden outburst. She adverted her eyes, as I could feel her body tense up.

'I swear I'll kill myself. Why are you being mad at her when she did nothing but saved you! You are so dumb Y/n!'

'I still don't know how to speak nicely.'

I mentally face palmed myself.

"I-im sorry .. I didnt mean to scare you. It's just that it's too frustrating to me and.." I trailed away ,I didn't knew how to explain her everything.

"It- it's ok eonni.I can understand." She assured with a smile on her face.

"Eonni?"

'I was confused ,since when did I become soo close to a stranger'

"Ya eonni.While I was searching for your cellphone to contact your parents ,I didn't found anything but a driving license with your name and along with some other information. So I figured out that you were older than me.... so eonni."

'She had pure innocence in her eyes.'

'Why does this girl feel so welcoming unlike those people I know...'

"o-ooh ok .. so-"

"You must be wondering where you are right?"

'Did she just read my mind??'

"Busan... you are in Busan's hospital."

'Hell nooo... I reached ...Busan.....'

I didn't know what to think or say.

'Am I safe here??'

'But the road , the bus station, I never saw any city on the view... how could someon-'

"Omo! How could I forget to introduce myself. I'm soo sorry eonni for being disrespectful... I'm Lalisa Manoban .... for short Lisa."

Her sudden introduction disturbed me when I saw her extending her hands towards me to take it.

I hesitated for a while but took it.

"Gwaenchanh-a (its ok)... and though you know my name, however let me introduce myself to you again. I'm Y/n yong."

'I didn't know how to thank her or repay her for paying my medical bills. But I had to somehow repay her for her generosity. '

'We somehow kept bunking into each other . Weird of all is that whenever I went out I would meet her , sometimes in the cafe, sometimes in the medical shops , sometimes even in the parks.'

'She soon extended a hand for friendship but I used to keep refusing. I didn't wanted anyone near me ... '

'Because people close to me never remains by my side forever. '

'Even after pushing her away from me she never stopped getting close to me.'

'I was tired of her being around me. Why cant she leave me?'

I owe her my life but meeting her everywhere was just frustrating. Moreover somehow I managed to get an apartment with the cash I had but needed a job so I applied to various cafe's but I ended up in a cafe which lisa owned... it was the least I could think of.

There were times when I was angry on her for being so soft towards me but she never talked back neither she left my side . I sometimes even ended up thinking that she must have a motive behind this, but my suspicions were never positive.

After few weeks since the incident I was total furious at her being all sweet and loving towards me. A part of me wanted to feel them but a part of me didn't wanted to experience it.

'I almost choked her....'

"....I worked soo hard for that cake!!"

___________

Present ~

Her voice interrupted me.....I stood clueless in the counter area.

'Did I miss something ?Why do I have to be so clumsy?'

This is not the first time I dropped an unfinished piece of pastry before anyone can taste it. I ruined the hard work Lisa put in it.

'I'll buy her something to cheer her up.'

"Sorry lisa!! I'll clean it up !! Can you please prepare another one!!???" As I was cleaning the mess I made, I could hear lisa mumble , swearing all the words out of her mouth .

'I made her mad again... ugh... I wish i could bake too If only I knew how to use those buttons in the microwave.'

'Only if I was ever taught to cook...'

"Fine ,I'll make another one! You better clean the mess up!" She sounded tired by now. Guess so her throat got dried up after her blabbering speech.

"Thank youuuuu lisa!!"

'She is sweet after all , isn't she.'

__________________________________

'Usually the cafe used to be busy but today no customers arrived.'

'Everyone are probably out of town as vacations are going on . Teenagers are always looking forward to those days where they can spend their quality time with their loved ones.'

I sat on one of the corner of the cafe , absorbing the evening view from the big window panels which were recently installed to brighten up the interior by the natural source of light.

The cafe had indoor plants as it felt more natural than any luxury cafe. The warm color on the walls made the environment more comfortable.

'Lucky them , they can have all the joy without any interference. '

No fear, no worries and no sorrows to loose something.

'I envy them.'

Lisa could have gone for vacations with her family but she preferred staying , she was excited to try out the new receipts for the customers . She loves seeing smiles which appears after people eat her delicious freshly baked cakes.

Everytime I see lisa looking all anticipated from the corner, She seems determined about what she does. The love she showers whenever she does something gives me hope in some kind to keep my life going .

I never saw so much love in anyone's eyes as her. Apart from hobi , I never smiled as much as I do around her. And she never fails to cheer me or anyone around her with her cute Aegyo.

'If I could I would have adopted her as my sister.'

Only few people walked down the streets. I'm really not feeling the summer vibes as others.

'Maybe because I never experienced it...'

"Eonni !!!! Taste thiss!" Lisa came running from the kitchen, being careful to not drop the new cake she just made.

'The smell was fabulous. Chocolate is it?'

"Say ahhhhhh!!"

She picked some handful of the cake in a spoon and drew it in my direction to eat it.

The flavor of the rich chocolate filled my mouth.

'Hmmmm tasty!'

"How is itt!?" She said with eagerness in her eyes.

"I-a mm ta-m-y " I could barely say the word.

"Eeehhhhhh!! I knew you'll love it ! See I knew you love chocolates!" She squeezed my cheeks in excitement but in that process my cheeks were red and hurting.

"Aa! apeuge hajima!"( ahh! Stop its hurting!)

"Mian eonni."( sorry Unnie)

"Ya ya you better be! My cheeks! Now give me that cake I wanna have them in return of hurting me!" I demanded , acting as if it hurted me deeply.

"Jinja??(Really) I thought I'll have the-"

"Got it." I took the pastry from her hand and had them by myself.

"You didn't even let me finish..."

"Aigo ,(Oh dear) sit down.. I'll feed you," I pulled out a chair beside me and patted , signaling her to sit.

"Hehe , saranghae eonni!! "

I gave her a wide smile as I feed her.

"Soo as I was saying....."

And with that Lisa started lecturing about how she got the idea of making chocolate cake with many ingredients which I would probably not remember after few seconds but I loved listening to her.

'Atleast there are people who talk to me without hesitation...'
