OUR LOVE/AGE GAP

EP 8. "THAT IS WHY I WAS WORRIED"

Just a second later he realizes that she may not be comfortable with him hugging her and moves away quickly, he says,
"I am sorry Ms.Seo, I should not have hugged you without your permission."
"Ummmm.... no it's.........finnnnnee Mr.Yun.", Bit Na replies flustered with butterflies in her stomach for the first for someone else other than Ji Seong.
"Ms. Seo, are you alright???? Did you get hurt in the accident?", Tae Yang asks, looking worried.
"Yes, I am alright it was only my phone that was damaged in the accident".
"Oh, thank god, you are alright, if you are free then I can take you to buy the new phone."
"No, Mr.Yun, why will you buy me the phone, I can manage it myself and my friend has offered to buy me one, it's alright."
"No I insist, it was because of me the incident took place, please accept my offer.", Tae Yang kept insisting and last Bit Na replied, "Ok, I will think about it"
"Alright, but you must think about it....", then there was an awkward silence and Bit Na realized that she should invite him into her house and asked him to come inside and offered him a place to sit and asked, " would you like some  coffee or cold drinks?"
"Do you not have any tea?", Mr. Yun asked.
"No, I do not like tea, and so I do not buy any also because...... it's a lot expensive.", Bit Na said with embarrassment.
Mr. Yun smiled and said, " It's alright I would like a cup of coffee."
Bit Na quickly made coffee for him and kept standing beside him, with a confused look on her face.
"Do you want to ask something?", asked Mr.Yun while blowing on the hot coffee and sipping on it.
Bit Na said." If you do not mind, can I ask you why you walked so fast looked tense, and hugged me tight when you first saw me?"

 Tae Yang with a depressed look on his face replied,
"When I was 14 years old, my father had left for the office and my mom took a leave from the office that day as she was sick and I had to go to school and was irritated when she was taking time to make my lunch, my two brothers had already left for school, so in her sick state she made lunch for school and had left the stove on as she was not well, after that, I left for school and when school got over I received a call from a doctor in school saying that there was a carbon monoxide poisoning at my home and my mom was the only one home and so she was brought to the hospital when one of my neighbors noticed the fire coming out gave them my school's name, they saw that the cloth beside the stove caught on fire and my mom could not get out on her own and that she was in the hospital but she was fine. So, I just gave them my father's phone number and did not bother to check on my mom and went out with my friends instead." *drops fall down his cheek*😢

"When I reached back home in the evening, I saw my house empty and when I asked my neighbor if my mom had returned back, she said that my mom had passed away in the hospital, just after an hour after she was discharged. When I reached the hospital, my father looked at me angrily and started hitting me saying it was all my fault and my brothers protected me, and broke down in tears, during the memorial he said that I killed the love of his life and left me there with my brothers and relatives saying that he didn't want anything to do with me and when I reached home with them I saw my father had hanged himself as he could not bear with the death of my mother, and so at a young age I and my brothers inherited his business."
*sniffles*

Mr. Yun gave a small smile to Bit Na and said, " That is why I was worried, whether someone else had suffered because of me"
Then he went to sip on his hot coffee and burned his tongue/lips *aah* and Bit Na moved toward him as a reflex and started blowing on his lips(She had this reflex as she does this very often as her father too sometimes burns his lips/tongue).  'Too close' while blowing Bit Na realizes and moves back and takes her cup and starts gulping it down and then gets up Tae Yang says,"Thank you for being more than fine and sorry for troubling by visiting so suddenly  and if you find yourself in trouble I hope I am the first one you think of for help," he gives her a warm smile ☺ and gets up after finishing his coffee
"Ok, then I guess it's too late and you have work tomorrow so I should leave."
"Ah yes," and they walk towards the door and Bit Na shows him out and says," Well this is just for comforting you ,"she moves forward " and I have no ulterior motive," she is right in front of Tae Yang ,"I hope it's a beginning of a new friendship so let's have a great start with a ," she opens her arms,"HUG" and circles her arms around him Tae Yang stood like a statue confused for 1 second and then engulfed her within his big body and they stood like that for a while and then
