Sydney, Australia.

Moments later.

HUENING KAI

A moment of distress transpired inside me, which Yeonjun tried to handle himself. I didn't want to talk to him; I felt ashamed for not letting him stay by my side after he had been taking care of me. He sincerely wants me to do well. Furthermore, Yeonjun went out of his way to help me with anything I might need. – It is hard to keep someone close because regularly, I push everyone away to protect them. Everyone might think it doesn't make sense; however, I have experienced this situation before; I have put people in danger only because they know me. Hence, I understand how far people can go when they have hatred in their minds and hearts.

After some minutes, Yeonjun calmed me down enough to take me somewhere around the university. We sat on a bench nearby while Yeonjun shielded me as a baby. It was embarrassing to act this way in front of him; however, I couldn't control the raging emotions inside me. – I'm worried. There's not much time left before I return to Seoul, and I don't want to leave until I find the website's creator.

Currently, I remain beside Yeonjun while looking down at the ground. I couldn't face him at the moment; I knew that, at some point, I would have to explain myself. Yeonjun still doesn't know anything about my plan. – I can hear Yeonjun taking deep breaths, patiently waiting for me to say something about the matter.

"Should I start explaining myself? Or do I wait for Yeonjun to talk?" I thought, confused.

I thought about what I wanted to let Yeonjun know. However, he wasn't having patience any longer.

—Why did you come here? Where have you been? Why haven't you answered my calls? – Yeonjun questioned without hesitation.

I stared at him, surprised and not knowing what to answer. I only sighed and said whatever came into my head—. The blog's updates were faster this week; thus, my life could be at risk. And I'll return to Seoul shortly, so I didn't see the point in talking to you – I disclosed, distressed while staring at Yeonjun.

Yeonjun smiled in disbelief before frowning—. Are you for real? Huening Kai! We promised to check on each other even if someone left Sydney.

—Yes, but I don't want anyone to help me when there's no escape. And you said it before: I must make things right for myself – I earnestly stated.

—Alright, you have multiple things going on, and I'll give you that. But you know my days in Sydney are counting down. So, why did you waste those days without my company? – Yeonjun questioned, upset.

—I 'wasted' those days planning a strategy to hunt down the website's creator. And excuse me; I didn't invite you over, but you were busy. You don't have to look after me like you've known me for years – I exploded on Yeonjun's face, not feeling well after hearing Yeonjun's complaints.
