My Saviour | Woo Do-hwan

Four

As the two friends were seated at a table they began chatting away about different topics and a few random ones as they browsed through the menu deciding on what to eat.

Throughout their time at the cafe, it became busy as the night progressed and Lilliana wasn't sure what to say or make of it, and before long something began to happen which she had been dreading all night, she started to feel tired.

She found herself starting to panic which is something she didn't want to do but now she had no choice. In the middle of the panic, she found Yuri was now nowhere to be seen and only hoped that she would return soon.

Within a matter of minutes, Lilliana was becoming more and more sleepy by the second and no longer had the strength to stay awake or to continue eating her food.

Her fork soon fell from her hand and fell onto the table with a clang, followed by not being able to keep herself upright. Through her now half-lidded eyes she saw a handful of people looking but were not bothered to check on her.

Just as she thought her fears were coming true, she took one final look to see one man leap out of his chair with his wide and concerned gaze upon her as he reached out to catch her just in time before she hit the floor as she lost consciousness.

When Liliana came to she couldn't help but feel confused. Sitting up and supporting herself with her arms she looked around to see that she was back at home, and in her room.

Running a hand through her hair, Lilliana found herself gazing out of the window just as the sun was beginning to disappear into the horizon.

For a moment she was lost in her thoughts but soon snapped out of her daze when all of her memories came flooding back of what happened, realising that she had had another episode in a public place for all of those there to see.

Sheer panic, anger and frustration began coursing through her veins. Struggling to control her rising emotions she couldn't help but hit the wall before it all became too much and tears began falling down her face.

Lilliana wished the embarrassment and the heartache would go away but right now from the way she was feeling that was very much impossible.

The sound of running footsteps was quickly replaced with the door opening and Yuri's arms flying around her.

"Liliana it's okay. It's okay, don't hurt yourself anymore.", she pleaded.

Pulling back from Yuri, Lilliana could only shake her head, "It's not okay It happened again and I made a complete fool of myself out in public again I'm a complete idiot."

Yuri quick to support her friend strongly disagreed, "No I don't believe that I disagree with you. I am the one to blame because I am the one who dragged you out in the first place and I shouldn't have left you alone at the table, I should have stayed with you, I saw you start to fall from the chair but I wasn't able to get to you but luckily that man who was sitting near to us was able to catch you in time."

Taking a deep breath, Lilliana nodded and her friend taking in everything she had said but wondered who the man was who had stopped her from hitting the floor.

"No, please don't blame yourself. But who was he? I think I remember that he has dark hair and dark brown eyes, I couldn't get a proper look at him I'd passed out by then.", she asked trying to remember what he looked like.

Yuri couldn't help but smile a little, "He's a very kind and attentive man he was very concerned about you, and wondered what was wrong. I told him that I was your friend and I didn't have time to explain we'd just have to get you home... and well he's still worried."

Liliana was a little confused by this, "What do you mean by he's still worried?"
