Third Person's POV

Johnny had his tongue tied throughout the whole time when Hyejin was telling him her problems.

He was aware that she was in pain but he didn't know that she was struggling that hard. After Hyejin spilled all the hot teas in her life, Johnny couldn't find any words to say to comfort her or at least lessen the pressure she had in her chest.

They weren't close at all but somehow he managed to convince her to open up to him and he felt a little proud of himself that he did. He was happy he could help.

From that moment, Johnny wanted Hyejin to rely on him whenever things get hard on her. The times he was with her, he didn't feel like he was the famous idol. He felt like a normal person, just as himself.

In his world where people always see him as 'that' idol, Hyejin was the first person who treated her just like a normal one.

Sometimes keeping your mouth shut in moment like that could be the best option. What's important was, he stayed and made her feel that there was someone who's there for her.

A precense was enough and Hyejin felt that.

She had been bearing it all alone and that was the first time someone approached her to talk about her problems. She was thankful.

Off all people, Johnny was never in her expectations..in fact she was expecting no one.

"You won't judge?" Hyejin asked. The 'quick' change from how they were treating each other was very obvious.

She was just hating him hours before that but look at them, she couldn't believe it.

He let out a chuckle and pushed his hair back using his hand. "Who am I to judge? Besides, you're not the problem here. It's your mother." Johnny answered honestly.

"You're right. It's really her." She voiced out sadly. It was indeed her mother's fault yet she was the one taking all the shits. She felt so fucked up.

He rested his head on the cold wall behind them and stared at her. It might be too early but Johnny was brave enough to admit that the girl in front of him was really different from any other girls out there.

He had to be honest to himself that he found Hyejin really amazing. Others would definitely pity her first but he was different. The first thing he felt towards her was purely amusement.

Hyejin was amazing and really brave independent woman. She had imprinted that impression to Johnny's mind.

Nothing was more attractive than that for him.

"Quit staring." He could only laugh when she caught him looking at her.

"Now I get it why you were so scared losing your job but don't worry. I won't report you as the problematic staff like you were thinking." He explained not breaking his stares on her.

That eased her feelings. She really thought he'd report her.

"Didn't I make myself clear to you? We're not close so don't feel so comfortable teasing me around." She reminded, half meant true half meant not.

"You're telling me that after reciting your whole life to me?" He asked with his brow raised.

"We're just strangers who know each other's name. You can toss whatever you heard after this night." Hyejin told him. She once read it in a book that it's better to talk your problems with stranger.

She knew that she would still see Johnny everyday but she didn't have any plan to become more than a stranger to him.

They would just be formal to each other like nothing happened at all.
