My Fierce Fragile Heart

Chapter 6 . BESTFRIENDS?

Ethan Cael Auton Velasco ( ACE) POV

I'm hurrying , I sneaked out of the practice room for her. She's alone for sure and it's her birthday .

I'll ended up feeling bad if I don't come and be with her . She only have me, her parents are away.

I immediately called her . She didn't answer right away, making me nervous and worried, there's no way that she'll be alone again during her day .
I dialed more than five times before she finally picked up.

I felt relieved that she didn't completely ignored my calls .

" Aeri, where are you? " I asked her worriedly thinking that she might be feeling down again .

I was reminded of how I wasn't able to be with her last year . She was alone and I felt bad about it. I regretted it , that's why I'm here making a way to make it up and be with her on her special day.

" Why? Are you coming?" she eventually ask in sarcastic tone , enough to tell that she's being hopeless again .

"Yes. I'm coming , so where are you ?" I repeated , manifesting that she is just somewhere and not locking on her room .

" What about your practice? You don't have to sacrifice something, I'm just fine" she stated as if I don't know that she's lying and just trying to act cool.

I clearly know the expression on your face right now . Pretentious !

" Aeri, tell me where you are, please. We're done practicing." I lied . I just wanted to make you feel better please allow me to.

" N Seoul Tower" her short reply still made me feel at ease .

" Okay , give me some minutes . I'm heading there" . I ended the call . Immediately I started the engine and drive the company car, I smirk out of happiness remembering the staff's worried face when I stole the key.

They can scold me after this.

Minutes later and I finally got here. I hurriedly park the car and started walking .

"Oh shit, I'm sorry." found myself apologizing to a person infront of me .
Damn ! I just bumped someone and worst a girl .

I panicked, but still managed to immediately help her stand up.

We are both startled that we didn't notice that her bag landed on the ground .

Unconsciously she tried picking it but I eventually move and get it for her . I handed it nervously , my heart is beating way too fast . I was worried that she fell that hard and she's hurting .

" I'm really sorry . Are you okay Ms. ?" I sincerely asked , I know it's my fault. I was so occupied about my phone that I left in the car that I didn't notice her approaching.

" Yeah. I'm fine" she answered . and immediately turned her back.

" Wai-" . I didn't finish calling for her when I realized that it's impossible for her to hear me. She's so fast.

I watched her get farther .

I'm sorry again Ms.

I still felt sorry for her. I hope she's fine.

I was about to take a step when I remembered her face. Wait...

I turned back again to look at her , she's already gone.

" She look familiar" I mumbled . Why do I feel like I know her. It's like I've seen her before ?

I didn't notice earlier because I was so surprised ,but I think I've seen her before or perhaps she's just identical to someone ?
