Allowing Do Hwan to come inside, Liliana headed towards the kitchen and began making some tea for herself and Do Hwan. But even for Do Hwan, as he followed behind her he could see that she wasn't quite herself that she was distracted like she had a lot on her mind.

For a moment he stood and watched her, he could see how much Liliana had been affected by the past and her ex-husband and how he had treated her but now Do Hwan knew deep down there would only be more to come considering how fearful and upset she was over the phone as she found the courage to tell him about the message she had gotten off of Micheal. He could see even though he had known her for a short amount of time he had seen how much it had affected her and how broken she was, but from that moment on he swore to change that.

With a deep breath and shaking hands, Liliana soon managed to make the tea before putting it into two cups and taking a few steps towards the nearby sofa as Do Hwan followed taking one cup and sitting beside her.

"Liliana?"

"Yeah?"

"If It's alright with you I'd like to ask you something, well, run something by you."

"Sure, go ahead.", she replied with a small smile.

"I wasn't sure how to ask this and I don't want to upset you or make you feel like I'm pressuring you into anything, but I just wanted to ask if you wanted to come and stay with me for a while. I have a spare room that you can use and It'll be your own space, you can say no It's your decision but I just want you to know that you're not alone anymore and you have me If ever you need anything."

Hearing those heartfelt words made Liliana feel whole again, now that she knew someone cared for her. Do Hwan's words had touched her and even though she began to feel emotions they were happy tears.

"Oh god, Liliana I haven't upset you have I?", he asked worried he had done something wrong.

"No, It's alright don't worry you haven't done anything wrong and you haven't upset me they are happy tears. No one has shown me this much kindness in a long time and I'm just grateful to have met you Do Hwan."

"I'm glad to have met you too Liliana."

A short while later the two of them had found themselves In the cafe where they had first met this time to have some food and a drink together, she sat at a table as Do Hwan had gone to order them both something.

For a few moments, as she waited for Do Hwan to return she was going over what he had told her. She knew given the circumstances that It would be silly not to accept it but at the same time, she felt like she was being rude going to stay in his house and she didn't want to be a burden on him.

Though Liliana was so lost in her thoughts that she hadn't heard Do Hwan speak until he had come back to the table and put two tea's and their food down on the table.

"Liliana - Liliana are you alright?"

"Oh, yes, sorry I'm alright I was Just lost In my thoughts that's all."

"What were you thinking about?"

Liliana sighed, she had to tell him the truth of what she was feeling otherwise she knew it would be pointless to say anything at all.

"I was thinking about what you said to me about me staying with you, not that I'm declining the offer but... I don't want to Intrude on your home and I don't want to be a burden on you."

It was only a few seconds after those words left her mouth did she watch as Do Hwan moved to sit beside her before pulling her in for a hug as she returned the gesture.

"Hey, don't say that about yourself you are not a burden. After everything you have been through you deserve to be somewhere warm and safe, that I do know."
