Before she could respond, his arms pulled her into a tight embrace. Her breath caught in her throat as she felt Gu Yan's warmth. His voice was low and laced with a hint of jealousy.
"Why were you walking with Nam Doha?" he asked again, his grip tightening slightly.
Ye Jin's heart raced, but she remained calm on the surface. "I realized that he and I were going in the same direction, so I suggested that we walk together," she replied, her voice steady.
Gu Yan didn't respond immediately, his breath coming in shallow bursts. Anger and frustration boiled within him.
He had tried everything... everything to make Ye Jin his, tried to make sure she had only him. But it didn't matter what he did, she always had annoying pests hovering around her.
Why?
Why?
Had he been too passive? Should he be more proactive with his feelings?
