Hobi's Mine.

21: Peck.

"WHY DIDN'T you tell me?" Dani ask eyes were closed as she lay her head over Hobi's arm, while his other arm caging her protectively.

They've been lying in this position for a while since Rain and Shin piseo left the room. They enjoy just having each other's comfortable company. Words can't describe the comfort of the silence they share.

He heave a deep breath then releases it slowly over her head. Eyes were close as well. "I cower that you might disappear again." He confess as his memory brought him up that night.

My body remembers you, the tingling feeling when your skin brushes mine. Even how my heart pounds when we you share your umbrella. My senses never forget you.

The moment you were standing in front of me, I felt like everything stops moving. I didn't notice the heavy pouring rain. My drench body and the purpose why I get out of the car. Not even Yongi hyeong.

I was drawn into you once again. I step back withdrawn because I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. But you followed me still to share your umbrella never repelling your eyes off me. " He's smiling how funny he was that very moment.

I never forgotten you. How you look at me that day. Your eyes, they're one of a kind."

"Nae nuni? Otteokhaeyo?" She chuckles lightly. "Everyone feared my eyes. They told me they're lifeless. Fearless and no humanity in it."

"No they're special." He distance a bit and lean opening his eyes leveling his eyes on her. He stare at it with gentleness. He even caress the lower side of her eyes down her cheeks. "They don't know how to judge people."

His words makes her heart skip that very moment. Its the first time she heard such compliments. She held her breath. Right now her heart pound. She's concerned that he might've heard.

Such a rare occasion when somebody makes her heart beat erratically. Mostly she felt it when she's on a crucial mission. It's a first when it comes to him.

She feels shy and soft. Very far from her usual self. Despite all of it she make sure she's unnoticeable.

Not cool.

You see people for who they are." He added and smile. "You maybe ruthless and fearless but you never failed to help those who were in need."

She snuggles into his chest. She felt her cheeks starts burning. She can't stare his eyes any longer. Wary the he might seen how vulnerable she is right now.

"I never knew this kind of feeling. The comfort a simple hug can give and the security a chest could offer." She close her eyes once more. Her hand on his chest. "Your heartbeat's a lullaby. It soothing."

He chuckles lightly. "I truly understand. Uri eomma puts me to sleep this way when I was young." He sigh. " Especially when I got nightmares."

Dani hastily raise her head. "I'm sorry." She apologize. She brought that trauma to him. "Its all my fault."

"Aniyeyo." He gave her a reassuring smile. "You save me and I was able to conquer it in a matter of time hiding it to myself." He laugh humored by the thought.

If I told them about you they wouldn't believe. A four year old kid vs five vicious dogs? Realizing it now, its quite entertaining. That scene was straight from a thriller sci-fi movie. "

"Kumawoyo." She held his cheeks playing it lightly.

"Thanking me for what?"

"For never hating me and for recognizing me all these years. That you came to me this time. For accepting me for who I am." Reminded how he bravelyv ask her name calling on the phone. How he make use of his authority at the IT department.
