Scared, Timid and Weak
In reflex, Song Ji Hwan's gaze travelled to the scene on the screen where he witnessed a gruesome murder happening.
He then looked at his hand which was being tightly clutched by Aera, who had her eyes closed in fear.
The woman on the screen was loudly shouting and with the increase in the intensity of her voice Aera's hold on Song Ji Hwan's hand tightened.
He looked at the small girl, who tightly closed her eyes frightened by the scene they just witnessed.
Song Ji Hwan tried to remove her hand which was wrapped around his wrist but she was stronger than he expected.
"Hey" Ji Hwan leaned towards her, "Can you let go of my hand?" he whispered.
Aera slowly opened her frightened eyes and looked at him.
"If you are so scared go and hold my brother's hand, this is a good opportunity to make your move on him" he sincerely advised signalling at Song Ji Hun.
Aera slowly shook her head in no.
"Why not?"
