Chapter 20

It's alright to cry, right? No one will see me under the hard rain if I do. Rain will hide my tears anyway. And I let them run down. Squeeze the plastic paper quote on my palm hard as I cried out. No one will notice me here. No one will pass by and sees me here. No stranger will even care. I let myself fall on the wet ground, on my knees and hugged my arms. Yes, I love him. And I hate myself for this. I wanted to ask father why Jeongguk does those things as such an Assassin. But I didn't dare to ask. And I fear that, because I know his job is not good for me. He won't be able to love me. He can't. That's something who he is. Why did he tell me not to fall for him? Because he knows I'm not for him. He knows it's dangerous for me. Feeling the rain stopped hitting me, but their drop sound was still there. I opened my eyes open to see a dark shadow ahead of me.

"what are you doing, idiot?" my breath stopped, heart pounding, the heat started to heat on my both cheeks and ears. I swift my head behind, seeing his legs, And slowly glancing up. He was holding His jacket above him, and he was above me, to stop the rain drops on his head and mine. His eyes met mine, they were bloody hard. His eyes got darker.

"Jeongguk." with my probably redness eyes I called his name quietly.

"get up." he says and I did. I'm standing with the most wanted assassin. I felt so sick. I was more nervous than I was at my first collage. I wanted to ask him why he did agree to be my bodyguard exactly. And why he does something illegal, such as assassin.

"is it fun?" I asked out of nowhere. And I regret it, really. Why did I say that... I'm dumb.

"what? " he says with much confusion on his face.

"no, nothing." I said quickly. Turning around to walk away, but not when he stops me. He came in front, facing me.

"What do you mean, Angelina?" he says seriously.

"I wanna go home. I'm cold." I said looking down on his black hard boots. Can't see him straight.

"Now you are feeling cold?" he judges with one of his eyebrows up.

"yeah. Really." I said and pushed past him. Why was I being rude? He didn't do anything wrong... I got so confused and walked away. I glanced behind, he was nowhere to be found. I sighed with relief. We didn't even talk properly. He didn't ask anything, neither did I. I couldn't. I just couldn't. After getting home, I saw father and Lenda there.

"Mhm? What's happening?" I asked, coming in, taking a seat across them with my soaked clothes.

"Why so late?" he says.

"Why so serious?" I teased him, smiling.

"you punk." he murmured, tilting his head slowly towards Lenda, in disbelief.

"I was with Jain, a good friend of mine. Don't worry." I told him. He sarcastic giggles.

"ha, 'don't worry', did you hear that?" he asks Lenda, who was laughing lightly. He then stares at me. "I didn't let you live your life just so you can be late at night, Angelina. And now look at you! All soaked! I bet you will get a fever!" Father had nagged the whole night. Thankfully tomorrow was the weekend because he wouldn't let me sleep.

Jeongguk

'is it fun?', her words had been on my mind since she said them yesterday. What did she really mean? I frustrate sigh loudly. I told Nathan about the new apartment and he likes it. It was close to her collage. And it is safe there. And now it is the day for them to move out. Uncle has send me a message: hello:) how r u? I smiled at this. And replied: I'm fine. What about you? Uncle: good, wen u comin? He likes to text with short words. Me: don't know exactly. I'm pretty busy. I haven't told him about my other job. I don't think he would like that, just like how he doesn't 't like my original job. His wish was only for me to live happily without getting into illegal works. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Uncle: Ooof:( looking forward to meet u. Or want me to come? I thought about it for a while and reply: sure. I need to speak to him about this job. Can't hide secrets from him.
