Minho was alarmed at Gayoon's reaction. While narrating the story, he noticed how clammy her palms were becoming and even though she did not realize it, her body was shivering. The shivering was becoming more evident with every word and whatever happened next was definitely something she did not want to recall.
Gayoon paused, unsure of how to go on. All those memories from nine years ago were haunting her again, but she owed Minho the truth.
"After that night I-" she went on but to her surprise, Minho put his palm on her lips. He stood too close to her and whilst she was scared, she was also grateful for the warmth emitting from him. She did not realize how fast her heart was beating while she narrated her tale but seeing him up close, she felt...safe.
"That's enough for today," he whispered.
"But you need to know the truth," she mumbled from behind his palm, causing him to sigh.
