Swithene's POV

     She's surprisingly nice enough to help me carry Yong and Maria to the guestroom. And to show that I really appreciate her helping hand, made her a cup of tea and served her biscuits.

"There's no poison here right?" her eyes squinted at me playfully observing the tea cup.

"Unfortunately no. I wish I could but that's not how you thank somebody." I smirked at her remark. She chuckled at my response and took a sip of the tea before nodding her head in appreciation.

  Her reaction made me mentally sigh in relief. Byul always has a thing with 'There's no such thing as in between' so if she likes it, she likes it. If she hates it, she hates it. Nothing in between. But thankfully, her reaction shows she likes the tea and fortunately didn't mock on it.

  "By the way, what were you doing at the bar alone after a long trip?" I started trying to make small talks not to make things awkward unlike how the whole ride was. 

  "Oh I wasn't alone. I'm meeting a friend."  I slowly nodded my head.

 "From high school?" she stopped for a second and looked back up at me before shaking her head.

"From college. I don't hangout with my high school friends anymore." she responded.

"Oh.." it was the only thing I could answer. Not enough to feed my curiosity, but enough for me to shut up.

"I'm surprised you're not nosy enough to ask why." she chuckled.

"And if I ask why, would you answer?" I crossed my arm, I bet she would say 'In your dreams' or something like 'You're still quite nosy aren't you?' .

 "Yes." she immediately answered, catching me off-guard. Well, I guess it's not intended to start an argument.

  "Okay why?" she paused for a few second and looked at me straight in the eye with such sharp gaze. She's been looking like that since we got here and my inner-bottomness is quaking! WHO GAVE HER THE RIGHT TO LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT?! MAMAAA~

  "Stop looking at me like that.." my brows met.

"Pfft! Why?" she asked leaning forward to me with the same intense eyes. Because you're giving me an 'I'll f*ck you' eyes!

 She suddenly bursted laughing at me. F*ck, I might've said that out loud didn't I?

"Yes hun, you did." she replied wiping her tears. I bit my lips, feeling myself embarrassed. I didnt intend to make it sound like that, I swear. 

 "You know what I'm looking for through these eyes, huh."  she smirked teasingly at me. I quickly turned away from her, feeling my face about to burst woth hotness. I swear, she's just existing to shame me. It's not like I lied about what I see.

  "Look, if you're not gonna tell me why then don't. It's not like I care that mu-"

"Because of you." I looked back at her with brows furrowed in confusion.

 "What does that have to do with me?"

"Eversince you left school, I quit hanging out with them. People clinging unto me like Koalas bore me and they're personalities are just getting out of hand. I don't want extra baggage with people like them." I rolled my eyes. I bet she's just making this up to get me to say 'awe, how romantic and heroic of you for not hanging out with bullies anymore~'. I would've appreciate it if she said it before I decided to move to another country.

 "You're looking at me like I'm b*llsh*tting you." she pouted. 

"That's because you took too long to realize that you had sh*tty group of friends all along and you're probably just adding the 'because of you' part just to make my heart flutter." she chuckled at my remark.

 "Then... Do I still make your heart flutter?" she calmly asked as she placed her tea on the table before sitting back comfortably.  Her questions always leave me tongue-tied. Honestly, saying she doesn't make my heart flutter would be a big fat lie. I still feel nervous around her but I did a good job holding it in for the sake of my pride and dignity. I've drawn the line and I've made sure to never cross that line no matter what.

With a gaze that says ' I'm the only one existing in her world', I might already have been down on my knees.

"In your dreams, Miss Moon." I responded, squinting my eyes at her showing that I'm not affected of her charms anymore even though deep inside, I was flipping out to the core.

 Her lips twitched up,"That took forever to respond Swiden."  she responded with a little amusement in her eyes, sipping casually on her tea.  I shifted my gaze away from her.

She knows... I feel naked in front of her. Her expression says like she reads everything, no matter how I twist my response to cover what I really feel.

I cleared my throat, "Atleast I responded right? Impatient as always Miss Moon." I shook my head. 

"Hmmm.. Right. I'm heading out to smoke.... Come with me."
