"What about... you?" I pretended to take a deep breath but in reality, I was working hard to sniffle back the rebellious tears before smiling back at him, admiring the way his eyes twinkled brighter than any of the stars that glistened above us.

"What about me?" His intense gaze zoomed in on me while he returned me a handsome soft raise of his lips, an eyebrow raised out of interest. "Ask me anything."

Sighing softly at the cold of the water, I began to realize that Mr. Jeon had been taking the both of us closer to the waterfall and to where all the pretty rocks and stones resided, my hesitation to speak my mind out declining just a bit. "Why... were you mad that day?" With much courage and determination, did I finally voice my tempestuous thought out, although very much reluctant and regretting it instantly on the spot.

"L-like I feel it had something to do with me but also... not really... me? ...I just want to know what got you so worked up...you're always so much in control of your emotions... " I bit my lip hard, subconsciously tightening my hold around Mr. Jeon's broad back, sensing his shoulders tense as he met his dark eyes with mine, as if scrutinizing my features heavily. "It's okay if you, uh... don't wanna talk about it."

The intimidating, heavy gaze rose goosebumps all over my body, it was dark and fiery- as if I had just reminded him of the whole thing all over again, reminded him of his worst nightmares...all over again. Before I could open my mouth to apologize and take my words back, Mr. Jeon was chuckling, stark black eyes softening whilst he encompassed my hand in his warm, big one. "Stop me if you begin to feel weird... okay?"

I wordlessly nodded, leading him to continue, which he did with a slight clearing of his throat. "I surely am a teacher but the real reason I came here to this country was... not for teaching purposes but in search of someone... to hunt down someone."

Curiosity got the best out of me and I questioned further, finding my heartbeat increasing in wonder and sheer surprise. "Who...?"

"My father's murderer."

My heart plunged forward, chest constricting and a gasp of shock subconsciously rushed out from my mouth. My thoughts fumbled together in an interlaced mess before I could find my voice again, "S-so what does that have to do with me...?"

I impatiently anticipated his response, a million thoughts dwelling in my head as my gaze fixated on Mr. Jeon who continued to stare down at me, a soft beam masking his previous expressions of hurt as he uttered, voice steady and tone dulcet as usual. "Nothing... It has nothing to do with you."

I realized that this was all he had to speak as only silence followed. His dark eyes deeply penetrated mine whilst his fingers played with my earring, pulling both sides of the strands of my hair behind my ears as gently as possible, "I'm extremely sorry for posing as an immature asshole that day, it was completely absurd and insensitive of me... I just happened to come across that person and it was like a terrible movie all over again... a nightmare and it- it did kind of hurt." he chuckled nearing to an empty end, no humor mixing with his tone but only bits of sadness coming out as he shook his head, looking up at the pitch black sky littered with contrasting stars.

"And... Did you find them? Are they in jail now...?" I halted myself for a few seconds, only the splashes of water playing in the background as I stared back at him wide eyed, my heart plummeting deep in my stomach upon the immediate realization and making me switch to instant alert. "Are you gonna...leave now?"
