"Ha-Neul can I ask you something?", I said once we returned in our room.

"Yeah go ahead", she said.

"That pearl. Does it exist in green color?", I asked.

"Why? Did you find it?", she asked.

"First answer my question", I said.

"Boys have green while girls have blue", she said. "But why?Ommo! No way. You found Harry's pearl? Didn't you?"

I nodded,"He sold his own pearl to Min Seong."

"What? Are you crazy? Why would he sell his pearl to that CEO?", she asked.

"That's what I am thinking about. Why would he sell off his precious and only way to go back home."

"I think you have misunderstood. How are you so sure he sold that?"

"Min Seong said it himself but what I am more worried about is your pearl. Where in the world is it? There is no clue to find it", I sighed.

"The spaceship can be called from any pearl, green or blue. Even if mine is lost we should be thankful to have that green one. I will use my power and get it back from that CEO. Everything will be solved. We don't need my blue pearl", she said.

"No. No Ha-Neul you are not understanding. If your pearl is in wrong hands, it can cause so many problems. They will know about alien's existence. They will make breaking news on you. These are what humans are like. They will use you as a mean of earning money. First of all we need to fetch that green pearl and then search for the blue one. You can't leave your pearl here on Earth. We need to find it as soon as possible. And what is scaring me more is someone finding your pearl before we do. Then they will search for you everywhere in the world and kill you on the spot. I am so fucking scared. I don't want anyone to hurt you. I can't take you with me in the DMZ. Only I know how difficult it was for me to let you stay alone in that house when I was protecting the country. I was always scared because...because I don't know. I just got an off of 30 days. I have to go back on my duty so I need to send you safely within these 30 days. 30 days! you get it 30 days? 3 days have already passed. Only 27 days. I have you just for 27 days. I don't want you to go so soon but I know I need to let you go."

She didn't say a word. Her eyes were focused at me. That intensity was burning in both of us.

After a second she engulfed me in her arms. I didn't make a move and closed my eyes. Just feeling her warmth in me. I wrapped my arms around her and buried my face in the crook of her neck.

I breathed in and out heavily. Finally. I feel relaxed.

She cupped my cheeks,"Let's make these 27 days the most memorable one." Her voice was breaking.

I smiled and didn't even realize when drops of tears left my eyes. I really don't want her to leave.

I placed a kiss on her forehead and hugged her again.

27 days! Just 27 days.

"Let's sleep together", she said.

"Huh?", I asked looking at her.

She smiled."Why? Can't we?", she asked.

"Uhm. No", I said and looked away.

"Come on. Why not?", she made a puppy face.

"Because a boy and girl sleeping together can lead to romance", I smiled

"Because a boy and girl sleeping together can lead to romance", I smiled.

"You said that on the night we first met", she chuckled.

"Hm. You remember?", I pulled her cheeks.

"Obviously. How can I forget. So are we sleeping together?", she raised her brows.

I moved away from the hug and stood steady for a second then lifted her off from the floor in bridal style.

"Ommo! What are you doing", she laughed.

"Don't men do like that in movies", I carried her in our room.

My eyes landed on Go Cha Young, Mr. Nam, Italian chef and all the other tenants of Geumga Plaza who were sitting in my bed room and looking at us.

I dropped Ha-Neul and she fell on the floor.

"Hahhhaha", the Italian chef laughed.

"Hahaha", I laughed too. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Ouch!", Ha-Neul stood up and rubbed her back.

"Oh shit! Sorry", I said once I realized I lose grip on her and she fell because of me.

"How did you came in?", I asked.

"We came from the back door just now", the piano teacher said.

"A back door?", Ha-Neul asked.

"Yes this one", the monk pointed at a door even I didn't know about existed in that room.

"Yes. We came from there", the dance teacher said.

"Till where did you hear?", I asked suspecting.

"From 'a boy and girl should not sleep together' I think", Go Cha Young laughed awkwardly.

"Ahaha. It's okay. We all have desires in our body in young age", his wife said.

"Hahaha", I gave a fake laugh. "So why are you guys here?", I asked.

"We came to thank you for agreeing on seducing the CEO", Mr. Nam said.

"Ahem!", I cleared my throat. Seducing?
"Ahahhaha. Thank you for coming. It's my pleasure."

"Thankyou for saving the Geumga Plaza", the chef said. I smiled.

"Then. We are going. You guys...can continue", the tailor said.

Both Ha-Neul and I were filled with embarrassment still managed to bid them bye.

I closed the door and sighed.

"We will go back to my home once Min Seong takes back the case", I said.

"Then are you going to call me sweetie again in front of your mother?", she smiled.

"And you will call me darling? Hm?", I teased her.

She smiled and I pecked her lips.

"Oh!", she placed a finger on her lips. I really did caught her off guard.

"What? You didn't expect that?", I smiled.

"No. I mean it was out of a sudden", she said.

"Then what about this?", I planted a kiss on her lips.

"Stop that", she blushed.

"Hm. How about this?", I kissed her again.

"Stop doing that", she hit my chest.

"What about lower lips?", I sucked her lower lip.

"You are not going to stop, are you?", she giggled.

"I don't think I can now", I pulled her towards me by grabbing her waist and kissed her slowly and passionately.
