81 Chapter 81 - A Fighting Spirit (4)

"It's ok, Jun. I can handle it myself." Anna wanted to dig a hole and running away from Jun.

"Anna, what's wrong with you? I did not notice it at the beginning but it seems Producer Kim concern is true. You look different."

"Nothing. I just have a lot of work recently and feel a bit tired."

"Are you sure? I know career is important to you, but your health is more important. Take care and you know that you always can talk to me."

"En. I will. Go, I am okay."

Anna felt suffocated when she said she was okay. She did not feel okay at all, she wanted to tell him the truth. Anna looked around and saw the filming crew were the only people on set, she braced herself and called,"Jun!"

At the same time her phone vibrated, distracting her from her initial purpose. It was a message from unknown number. Anna opened the message.

[We had a deal!] Her face paled immediately and she looked around. She was so sure before that no outsider was allowed inside, how could he do this to her?!

"Yes?" Jun looked back since he heard Anna was calling for her.

"Uh, nothing. Take care of yourself, too." Anna immediately withdrew her plan to tell Jun the truth.

Jun grimaced upon hearing Anna weird reply and left her alone, again.

"Song Ji An, get me my coffee." Jun was once again back to his resting area.

Ji An who saw how he was so affectionate against Anna and a heavy was cloud hanging around her heart. She purposely ignored Jun's request.

"Ji An, my coffee."

"Take yourself!" Ji An slammed the termoflask on top of the table which made a clear loud bang sound.

Jun was surprised by her sudden mood swing and quietly took her coffee. He wanted to ask but Producer Kim voice was calling from the distance. Tonight, they had more than enough time to settle this.

Later that night

Jun and Ji An was recently spent their night together rereading Min Young's diary. As usual, Jun was occupying the big sofa, stretching his long body with one of his hand behind his head and his other hand reading Min Young's original diary.

Ji An preferred to sit on the carpet and used the coffee table while she was reading the scanned copy of Min Young's diary. Since Ji An had faced danger for numerous times, she became more paranoid than usual. But her paranoia was not about her own safety, only for evidences

"Ji An, inside this diary, it mentioned that Min Young was not the first one. And she fell under some entertainment scam. Maybe we should approach this angle, what do you think?"

"Hmmm."

"Oi!" Jun nudged Ji An with his feet ,"answer me properly. What do you think?"

"Good!"

"Song Ji An, stop it. What's with this cranky attitude all day long? Don't you think you have gone overboard?" Jun could not be more patience with Ji An temper today. She had been cranky all day, answered him with just one word and ignored him most of the time.

"Keep using my full name, we are not that close yet for you to casually call my name. Our relationship is not like between you and Anna."

"Why suddenly are you bothered with me calling your name casually? I have been calling your name the whole week and you have no objection. And, why did you drag Anna into our personal talk?"

"Why can't I? One moment you hugged me. The other time you went and acted all chummy with her and touching her!"

"Is this the reason for your crankiness all day?" Jun's anger slowly dissipated. He could not believe what he just heard.

"What do you think? You purposely made me angry all day. Stupid Jun!" Ji An was so angry and feel wronged. Her heart was heavy and full of weird emotion she could not explain. She felt demotivated, tired, angry and no matter how she tried to look for answer, she found none.

Realization hit him. The reason of her crankiness, her continuous short answer and glaring, her temper, can he have his hope high up? Is this what he think it is? Jun was in between ecstatic and nervous. "Are you jealous?"

'Jealous? Me? This disturbing feeling is jealous? Can't be!' Ji An was trying to deny but she could not find any other better reason.

"You jealous, right? Right, right?"

"No!" She strongly rejected the idea and made Jun lost all hope at once.

Looking at Jun devastated state and slumped shoulder,"I mean, I don't know. I know for sure I don't hate you."

His slumped shoulder was once again lifted up, hearing Ji An answer. "Good. You don't hate me is good enough for now."

At least Ji An did not hate him and looking at her temper when he was close to Anna means a good sign. There was always hope for him.

"Song Ji An, I know you need time to find out about your feeling. I can wait for you. But I want to tell you once again that I, Lee Jun, will always protect you and I like you. A lot."

"Now, come sit here." Jun patted an empty space beside him. He no longer wanted to slouch on the sofa, instead he wanted to sit beside Ji An. There was no point in keep pursuing if Ji An could not admit her feeling. Some more they had much bigger issue on hand. Bringing down Congressman Park and those who stood behind him.
