(Good day! I'll update one chapter today as a treat to all of you who are constantly waiting. Anyways, I'll update every Friday with two chapters or more. Thank you!)
Yerin saw a man carrying a knife who's walking in her direction and glaring at her. Scared of the thought that this man has something to do with the guy who tried to attack her last night, she quickly ran away.
But she suddenly stopped when she bumped into someone and tried to hold her when she was about to fall.
She slowly looked up and noticed a guy wearing jeogori and baji, a good-looking guy—tall, has puffy eyes and has gat on his head that is now holding her, supporting her back and arms.
The puffy eyes of the guy are unwavering— seems like haunting Yerin's eyes. When they came back to their senses, they both distanced themselves and the guy bowed to her— apologizing for the sudden action. However, she felt elated not just because of his good looks but also because of his manners.
When the guy glared at the man who's holding a knife, he looked so surprised and suddenly stepped backward, causing the man to run as fast as he could. Yerin looked at him with awe, filling her thoughts that this guy in front of her has some dominance that could make those dangerous men back off.
"Thanks for saving me," She wanted to remove the awkward atmosphere so she's the one who initiates the conversation.
"It is my pleasure," he beamed which made his puffy eyes slanted. He looked at Yerin from head to toe and started examining her. "Are you new to this place? I haven't seen you before here but your dress tells different."
Yerin looked at herself; she's wearing a jeogori and chima— the one that Eunbi gave to her before she left earlier. Good thing that she's not wearing her school uniform or she'll get into trouble. She left it at Eunbi's house and doesn't care about taking it. Well, she's hoping that Eunbi would find her to give back her school uniform and feel conscientious. But seeing how cold Eunbi is and how she's being totally different from the novel, she slowly accepts that Eunbi will never do that.
"Uh, the truth is, I ran away from home."
"What? Didn't you know that it's very dangerous for someone like you to loiter around especially if you're alone?"
"I know right. Don't make me feel like I'm some kind of weak and harmless woman 'cause I can kick your balls," said Yerin and started walking with a smirk on her face.
The guy widened his puffy eyes; his face almost turned red upon hearing those words. He looked at her and followed her. "Hey! Woma---aish!"
Yerin turned around only to find out that the guy is now slumped on the ground. She burst into a peal of laughter while the guy is standing coolly on his own, ignoring how he felt embarrassed that a girl saw his clumsiness.
"What a clumsy guy."
The guy draws near her. "Don't laugh, it's the small rock's fault."
Yerin laughed again at how he defended himself. He reminded her of one character in ASTILBE named Younghoon who has the same clumsiness as him, the guy who has a grudge and envied Eunbi because of her skills in fighting. He looked so fine, so good, so kind, but who would've thought that he envy Eunbi a lot because he's not that strong enough? And the fact that he's the older brother of Yewon makes it less convincing.
"I'm Younghoon, what's your name?"
Yerin's eyes widened when the guy introduced himself. It's just that she's not expecting that he's actually the guy she remembered earlier.
