After I was told not to go outside no matter what. I began to get worried. Even when I asked her about it, she didn't say anything.

Then, I asked her again and this time she spoke.

- It's not like you can't go. What I mean is.... It's already late and there is no light outside. So, it might be dangerous if you leave now. Also, after the storm, it will be very risky to move around outside. That's why it might be better if you stay here inside.

After listing to her, I suspected that she was trying to hide something from me. But after seeing someone beautiful like her and telling me to stay over the night, I couldn't refuse it.

Don't get me wrong? That's not the real reason I couldn't refuse. The real reason was the points she made about the outside condition. Everything she said was true. It wouldn't be a good idea to go outside on that dark road. Who knows what might happen? It's better to accept her offer and stay for the night. I know everyone would be worried a little if I don't come back home. But, it can't be helped. Since I'm stuck here for many reasons.

After thinking for a while, I told her,

- Since it has turned out like this, I gladly accept your offer. And thank you for letting me stay for the night.

You're very polite. You thanked me whenever I said something.

Yes, you're right and sorry about that. It's just my habit. I can't control it.

Also, you're also quite strange.

Excuse me!

I mean.... You're helping someone this much when you barely even know.

Don't worry about it? Isn't helping someone who needs help the right thing to do?

I guess you're right. But the level of hospitality you have given me is beyond normal. It was great but feels like too much. You should consider what you do from time to time.

Seems like someone is worried about me. But don't worry? After living all these years, I can see good people when I see one.

Thanks, for thinking so highly of me.

So, what are we going to do now?

What do you mean?

I mean, since you're not leaving the house, shall we do it together?

What?! What are you saying all of a sudden? Even if you say that I'm not sure if I can.

What are you talking about? Of course, you can do it. It's very easy to do. Even I have been doing this alone all these years.

You have been doing that.... All these years.... Alone!

After hearing that, my heart began to pound harder and harder. Even I could hear my heartbeat. I thought if she says anything related to that, then I won't be able to control myself anymore.

Then she spoke again,

- What are you standing there again? Let's not waste any more time. Let's do it now. Help me carry those dishes. We'll wash them together.

She said it! She really said it! No, I can't stop myself anymore...................

What?! What did you say right now?

Help you clean the dishes. You weren't talking about doing something le..........?

Something le....? What are you talking about?

Nothing, never mind. I'll gladly help you. (Now I was even more embarrassed after thinking something inappropriate like that)

Then both of us carried those dishes and started cleaning them.
