Chapter: For Do Yun

"I'll go now else...I won't be able to catch any bus today." Hyun Soo chuckled a bit as she looked outside.

"No worries Hyun Soo! I'll take you home..." Aera interrupted.

"You know...I own a car." She further whispered into Hyun Soo's ear making her eyes wide.

"What?! Really?!" Hyun Soo instantly replied.

Aera motioned her to calm down while gritting her teeth nervously,

"Oh sorry! But then...why are you doing part-time?" Hyun Soo was curious.

"Umm...long story let's first get into the car then I'll narrate."

Hyun Soo bobbed as she smiled and went out following Aera after waving goodbye to Do Yun and Sang Hyeon.

Sang Hyeon stood there thinking about since when did those two ladies become such good friends meanwhile,

"Huh!" Do Yun sighed.

"Why?" Sang Hyeon asked him being worried.

"Something wrong?"

Do Yun shook slightly, "No!" His voice was low and sad.

He turned around towards his room when Sang Hyeon interrupted.

"Ah stop it! She isn't gone even for a minute and, look at you all sulking around for her."

Do Yun stopped right where he was and his eyes widened.

He turned his head a bit to his right, now he could see Sang Hyeon glaring at her from his peripheral view.

"Why? Am I wrong?" She added.

Do Yun gulped as he again looked in his front,

"Good night." Was all he said in a monotonous way before going to bed.

"Tch!" Sang Hyeon snarled at his lousy behaviour.

"What has gotten into him?" She mumbled again.

****

"So should I start?" Aera asked for Hyun Soo' permission before starting her story and the engine of the car.

Hyun Soo nodded and said, "Let's...be-gin!" She was full of spirit today after a normal and a happy day.

"So...how should I introduce myself, cause you...probably don't know me well. After all, our meeting was great chaos."

"Hmm...so let me ask you questions and you answer it, it will be easy for both of us I guess." Hyun Soo kept her idea in front.

Aera nodded quickly and looked at her for an instance and complimented, "That's good!"

"So...lemme ask this where do you live?"

"Well...I was living abroad at my uncle's residence for like seven years from now and now I'm here back in the city it's been more than a month now."

"Abroad? Why?" Hyun Soo quickly asked.

"Umm...be...cause...my parents weren't able to provide a nice environment for me so I had to. After all, I had to study for my own good." Aera replied being a bit hesitant.

"I see...it must have been hard for you." Hyun Soo commented looking ahead on the road.

"It was...at first but then...I adjusted somehow in it."

"So...from your description up to now, I can feel you're someone quite wealthy then why ended up in a part-time?"

"For Do Yun!" Aera quickly but in a monotonous way replied.

"Mr Do-Do Yun?"

"Hm?!" Aera nodded.

"Wh-why?" Hyun Soo couldn't help but ask.

For a second she felt a bit insecure, she felt uncomfortable, she felt a bit downhearted. For some reason, she also didn't know why she had this sudden change of mood.

"Because...Do Yun is the friend I had back then when I was new and probably lonely here. And obviously, after how he cared for me back then I guess...I should be with him in his hard times." Aera genuinely replied.

"Since when you know each other, and-and how did you meet each other?"

"Not sure...how we met each other but...we know each other for like...one year if we cut down the time in which I was in abroad."

"What do you...mean by hard times, is something wrong with him?"

"Well you see, I almost treated him as my best friend so when I came back all the way here from abroad the first thing which came to mind was meeting Do Yun, I went to his home and but I was informed that he ran away."

"You might know this, he was adopted and that his parents are not his real ones."

"Hmm, aunt Sang Hyeon told me." Hyun Soo nodded as she looked at Aera.

"Yeah so, according to what I heard from his mother was, that, he found out how much his parents have spent and sacrificed for him. He felt guilty and left the house six years ago. No one knew till now where he was until I found his whereabouts."

"He is all alone now working in the cafe so...I thought it will be better if I accompany him. He doesn't know that I'm rich and even own a car else he won't even take anything from me." Aera chuckled.

"He is a bit stubborn at sometimes."

"So you're here for Do Yun..." Hyun Soo mumbled as she looked out the window of the car.

Looking at the trees and people passing she wondered why she felt disheartened about something so small. They have been friends for a long time and she is here to help him, she kept satisfying her loudly beating heart under breath but nothing worked.

She was still trying to digest whatever Aera said when after a short period of break Aera said,

"But now that I see him...I think he needs someone who understands him the most and besides me, no one knows him better here. Not even aunt Sang Hyeon and he won't ask his mom to be his side even if him he loves her a lot. Moreover..." She took in a deep breath and confessed,

"I think I love him..." Making Hyun Soo froze in her seat looking outside.

****

Here Do Yun who was lying in his bed closing his eyes knew that his sense of feeling someone's presence in his room standing or sitting right beside him was true. But he dared not to open his eyes, maybe it could be the one from the fight last time, or the one with glowing hands. He wasn't scared but unsure about what could possibly be their first move, cause he...also knew that he isn't in a state for a fight again

Many thoughts run through his head, many possibilities came and went away from his chaotic mind.

Debating about whether to open his eyes or not he finally decided to open them gradually making it quite normal.

But before he could so the person present there frowned,

"Open it already! It's been quite a while since you've been debating within yourself!"
