My Saviour | Woo Do-hwan

Eight

Later that afternoon after spending the day with Yuri and Do Hwan, Liliana felt like herself for the first time in a long time and was surprised and happy to see Do Hwan arrive something she wasn't expecting.

"Liliana?"

"Yes?"

Looking to her left Liliana realised Do Hwan was walking beside her.

"Are you alright? You look like you're lost in your thoughts there."

"Yes, sorry I'm alright, but it's just even though it's my birthday today has been quite a shock and surprise to me. I didn't even know that Yuri had invited you and I'm sorry if it was a bother or inconvenience for you but above all, I'm grateful to you for coming, thank you Do Hwan."

For Do Hwan, he could see the sincerity but all so pain in her eyes and he knew from what she had told him just a few days ago and he could see that her painful past was coming back to haunt her in many ways than he knew possible.

As he was about to say something else, Lilliana had already had beaten him to it, as she stopped walking leaning against a railing looking out at the city.

"In all honesty, I... I haven't done anything such as gone out with friends, or had time to myself since just before the end of my marriage to Michael. But that I could never understand In our first year of marriage he was like any other loving husband but by the time we got halfway through the second he completely changed.

After taking to drinking he became angry at every little thing and even me If I didn't do something he asked he would start shouting at me and if I ever did what he would call 'wrong', then he would take to hitting me..."

Liliana's voice could only begin to break as Do Hwan's eyes widened. He couldn't believe after everything she had told him what she had gone through. She had gone through something no one should have to go through and it was ultimately heartbreaking, turning towards her he took a gentle hold of Liliana's arm as she looked at him with sad eyes and without thinking twice she too turned towards him before wrapping her arms around him as he did the same.

"It's alright, Liliana it's okay your not alone anymore, you have Yuri and you also have me to now, whenever you need me I'll be right beside you I promise.", he said, looking at her with a small smile.

In that moment, Liliana felt no longer lost and alone in the world and it was as if a weight had been lifted off of her shoulders and it came as a big relief. She never expected in a million years that by chance she would meet her favourite actor let alone befriend him but from here on out she could only be eternally grateful.

A short time later with Yuri having to head off, that left only Do Hwan and Liliana.

"Liliana if it's alright with you could I walk you home? Sorry I'm being to forward aren't I."

Liliana shook her head, "no it's fine, I'd be grateful for some help", she said giving him a reassuring smile.

She watched as his face lit up.

"Great! let's go then".

She could only chuckle at his reaction as they walked along the path.

The walk home was full of fun and laughter as Do Hwan told her many funny stories and jokes that had them both in stitches.

Soon Liliana came to a stop outside of her apartment. "Well, this is me, thank you for helping get home".

"Your welcome, I'm glad I could help."
