Love And Death

CHAPTER: 6

"MOM"! Jin Ah screamed as she woke up all covered with sweat and was shaking. She licked her dry lips as she tried to control herself, "this darn nightmare again", she said in a low tone as she covered her eyes which were a little teary with her shaking hands and slowly breathed in and out.

After she had calmed down, she sighed and looked at the time it was earlier than her regular time. She exhaled sharply and then went to the bathroom. After she washed up she wore her jogging gear and went out. She was as quite as a mouse as she didn't want to wake up others.

As she stepped outside, and that's when a figure appeared behind her and said, "You are up early". She jolted and said, "oh my Gosh"! She turned slowly around to see Minho with his huge grin. The more she saw that grin the more she was starting to hate it and like it at the same time.

She straightened herself and looked at him straight in the eyes, "Mr. Minho I don't know if you have any brain cells, she raised a finger but don't you ever scare me like that again. Do you understand?" he nodded his head while he held back a chuckle. She shot him a glance, and he quickly stopped laughing. She just shook her head in irritation and went to the Han River.

She took it easy this time. She stood for a couple minutes along the bank to see the steady river. The smell of water rushed through her nose as she inhaled the air. She relaxed, this was her favorite spot. It was calming, beautiful and she could forget everything here. She jogged for a while and the moment she started to get work up she went home.

She was greeted by Mrs. Choi, "young lady you went and came back earlier today. Is everything alright?" She nodded her head and looked down in order to drop the conversation. Mrs. Choi became suspicious but decided to drop it. She excused herself made her way towards her room. As she was going up the stairs her eyes went towards the kitchen, where Minho was talking with the female staff which was looking at him as he was like a celebrity. They giggled every time he looked at them. Jin Ah just scoffed and thought "what this is? Is he that funny? He is not even that handsome."

After her bath she sat down in front of the mirror. She put lotion on her hands and as she was going to put lotion on her face she noticed something. Her face wasn't bright as it always was. There was dullness. The color of her face, it was light almost pale. She traced her face with her fingers. She inhaled and closed her eyes, "everything will be fine, and I am fine" she thought as she relaxed herself.

She opened her eyes as she exhaled and gave a small smile to her reflection. She got ready, she wore a black turtle neck paired it with black jeans and black coat. She tied her hair into a pony tail which made her sliver hoop earrings show. She wore small ring fingers and saw herself in the mirror one last time and said, "Pretty" while nodding her head.

She was saying it as she was reassuring herself. She looked around to see if her diary and her medicines were completely hidden, when she was sure she headed down.

As she was going down the stairs she shouted, "Goodbye take care I will be home whenever". As Mrs. Choi heard this she asked, "Young lady will you not have breakfast?" She didn't respond just kept moving, Mrs. Choi just sighed in defeat.

Minho upon hearing it sprung across the room and in front of Jin Ah. It surprised her. He was too close, she could easily see his almond shaped eyes, the structure of his face, and how is jaw moved when he talked. Minho said something to her but she nodded as she was immensely into him. He clapped that made her snapped out of it. She blinked her eyes in order to concentrate.

Minho smiled with whole of his face and said, "Let's go then". Jin Ah looked at him with questioning eyes. He just laughed turned her towards the dining table. Before she could even protest she was at the table. She just sighed in defeat. Mrs. Choi looked at her and said; "maybe he is a good influence on you" she said teasingly. Jin Ah crossed her arms and looked at Mrs. Choi in disbelief and scoffed.
