WINRINA: Unexpected Night

36: Morning

"Don't ever lay your hands on Karina .", Winter said hoarsely her eyes was fuming in anger, as she grabbed the man again by the collar and forcefully pull the guy up to make him stand again.

Karina was left frozen at her stand, staring at her girl and didn't expected the latter to be this strong.

Mr. Yu got on his feet, and grabbed Winter's hands from his collar and shove it away with force, glaring back at the girl while smudging with his hand the place where Winter had slap him.

"You!? You are like your father, violence run through your blood.", Mr. Yu said with smug look mocking the girl in front of him. Winter's jaw clenched and her hands balled into fist as she heard the man talked again.

"Leave!", Winter stepped forward and was about to lunge another attack at the man. But Karina quickly encircled her arm around Winter's waist, holding the girl in place.

"Stop. Please.", Karina whispered at Winter's back as she tighten her hold at the girl.

Winter then quickly turned around facing Karina with straight face.

Karina saw and got surprised when Winter suddenly faced her. Winter then suddenly grabbed her by the wrist tugging her as the latter started to walk towards the entrance of the building. Karina without hesitation let Winter drag her out of the place. Not looking at her father anymore.

"I'll go back for my daughter! I won't let her marry you!", Mr. Yu shouted, enough to reach Winter's ear. Winter heard it making her grit in anger, but ignored it and continued walking in haste, making their way inside the apartment building.

Inside the apartment.

Karina's POV

We stopped at the lobby in front of the stair, hiding behind the entrance door of the building. Away frim my father's sight. Winter was leaning at the door and looking straight at me still while holding onto my wrist.

Her face was unreadable, I don't even know what she was thinking or even feeling right now. My stupid father, talked a lot about her dad. I know how much Winter loves her father, and I'm afraid that she'll hate me for this.

"I'm so sorry." I mumbled and lowered my head feeling all guilty. I'm so embarassed right now that I can't even looked at her.

"Are you hurt? Did I pulled you way too hard?", Winter asked, as she released the hold on my wrist, and gently caressed the part that she gripped a while ago.

My eyes widen in surprised as I heard what she said. So I quickly lifted my head to looked at her. And caught her eyes staring at me, her warm gentle eyes that always so breathtaking. That always makes my heart melt.

Why are you like this? Why would you think of me first? If it wasn't about my father suddenly barging here you wouldn't hear those words. It would be more understandable, if you'll get mad right now. Now I feel more embarrassed to look at you

And so I looked away, turning my head on the right averting my eyes of her.

As I pursed my lip tight, clenching my hands close.

But suddenly Winter pulled me towards her, and wrapped her arms around my shoulder and hugged me

"I'm scared. I'm so scared when he said that he will not let you marry me.God, l've never been this scared in my life." Winter mumbled and I could hear how fast her heart was beating. I bit my lip tight trying to hold my tears, I know it wasn't about that, she was just saying that, not to make me worry.

I know it's something more than that, those words that my father had told her earlier, it is bothering her. I know it is, and it's the reason why her heart was beating frantically right now. And I hate myself that I couldn't help her understand herself.
