Wearing my diner uniform , i headed downstairs and saw Mrs. Han cooking
breakfast . I approached her and greeted her a good morning .
" Good morning, sweetie , did you sleep well? " she questioned , looking at my pale face and dark circles.
" Yeah, i slept well . Thank you for asking . Where's Mr. Han by the way ,"
I replied trying to make her stop asking questions , not that i didn't want to share it with her. It was just i don't want to talk about it right now as I don't want to ruin my mood furthermore.
" He's still in the bed . I'm really worried about him. " Mrs. Han replied
sadness lacing in her voice and a tear fell from her eyes. I pulled her into a hug and wiped her tears away.
" He's going to be fine, don't worry "
I whispered feeling awful just thinking about Mr. Han's condition. I couldn't afford to lose him especially right now .
Mrs. Han pulled me away made me sit on the stool " Enough crying let's get so food " she exclaimed smiling again , wiping the tears from her face. I looked up at her and couldn't help but feel happy that there's still someone who cares for me.
" Why are you in uniform? " she questioned placing freshly cooked pancakes on table.
" I thought about working again in the diner now that Mr. Han is sick , as I'm sure that they might be facing some problems without Mr. Han so i think it's better if I offer a hand. " i muttered , picking at the pancake not feeling hungry at all.
" That's so sweet of you, but you don't have to go today , you know i think it's better if you get some rest ," caressing my cold cheek.
" I'm completely fine . Don't worry ,i can take care of myself . Plus that's the least i can do for you guys to letting me stay here " i whispered looking down not wanting to look at her .
" Don't be silly , you know you are always welcome here any day, any time. " she replied lifting my chin and smiling down at me lovingly. It's been a long time since i had some motherly love.
" I think I should get going now. I'm getting late ", i said , standing up from the stool.
" But you didn't ate at all. You just played with it " , she stated. " I'm not hungry I'll eat something later," I replied, putting on my coat and heading out .
Walking towards the diner, I couldn't help but feel weary as I could feel I was being watched . I tried my best to ignore it but I just couldn't. What if it's Leonardo again? I just hope Jungkook saw the paper I left at the bedside table.
As I reached the diner, i hastily went inside not wanting something to happen again. My small frame immediately relaxed the moment I saw my co workers. There were still no customers since it was still early.
The moment Suzy saw me she came running and hugged me tight as if her life depended on it .
" Oh my god! You're back! " She exclaimed excitedly hugging me even tighter making me feel suffocated.
" Suzy, you are hugging me too tight . I can't breathe", i said smiling and she quickly loosened her hold apologizing." I just missed you ", she replied pulling away with a huge smile on her face . " I miss you too" i whispered.
" Let's start working," i exclaimed making Suzy look at me , and before she could ask anything, I quickly beat her to it ,"I'll be working here again. Mr. Han's sick so..." I said to her , making her nod but she still looked unconvinced.
The diner was busy as usual , and I buried myself with work not wanting to think about Jungkook but it seemed impossible. This was where we first met and where everything started. It was funny how it felt like it was just yesterday when we first met.
The closing time approached but I didnt want to go back yet even though my feet and legs were dying to get some rest. My head ached and eyes burned . My body badly needed sleep but I'm not used to sleeping alone . How could I sleep when he's not there to hold me and share his heart ?
"Hey, let's go," said Suzy breaking me out of my own thoughts. I strode towards the door and linked my arm with hers .
" You don't seem alright . You're lost with your own thoughts. You look tired, and you didn't even eat anything for the whole day ," she remarked looking at me concerned.
"I'm fine ,don't worry " I responded . Making her scoff. "Fine , my ass ," she says under her breath making me smile at her .
It's sickening how I keep saying that I'm fine even though I don't feel fine at all. I don't know how to explain that my chest hurts so bad that i want to scream out in pain. I want to cry my eyes out but there seems no tears coming out. But I still guess, it's fine.
Reaching Mario's house, i tried my best flatten my unruly hair. I looked like a mess, and ,well , i was a mess . But I don't want Mr.and Mrs.Han to worry about me . Pulling the door open , my ears were immediately filled with
Mr. Han's laughter. I walked inside and saw that he and Mrs. Han were sitting on the couch conversing with each other animatedly while I stood by the door not wanting to be seen as i couldn't help but admire both of them and their love for each other .
Mrs. Han spotted me and dragged me to sit with them , which i of course couldn't deny.
" Did you have your dinner, my princess? " Mr. Han questioned , caressing my hand that is holding his fragile one .
" Yes, i did. Did you have yours?" I lied, looking away not wanting to get caught .
Mr. Han however put his hand in my chin making me look at him, but I didn't want to look at him , but I didn't want to look at him as my heart broke every time I looked at his face. He looked so thin and fragile as if he would break any moment.
" Goodnight, my loves. I'm going to bed now . I have to wake up early tomorrow," Mrs. Han said placing axkiss in my cheek and walking towards their room, leaving me and Mr. Han alone.
" Listen to me, my flower," Mr. Han muttered making me look at him . "It's easier to let go when you're tired and leave when you're hurting. But remember, you must have the courage to hold on until the end. It's just a test. Don't give up " he whispered.
" You mean to say to hold on even though I'm hurting ? " I questioned fighting back tears , not wanting break.
" Yes, you must hold on. You will get through it no matter what" he answered wiping the tears that managed fall. He smiled at me lovingly. " I know it doesn't feel right at the moment but you ought to that love is the greatest feeling one can feel. It is so powerful that it can make people lose their mind sometimes but it is worth it," he added while kissing me goodnight on my cheek and leaving me alone with my own thoughts.
A phone rang snapping me out of my own thoughts . I fished it out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID but it's unknown making me think twice about whether to answer i or not.
Maybe i should answer it as I can be an emergency.
Answering the call , i placed the phone to my ear. Just I was to open my mouth , a voice that haunts my dreams spoke , making chills run down my spine.
" Time's ticking. Remember what I said , Yn " I don't give empty threats," Leonardo say menacingly. My hands shook violently not wanting to think about what he could do to Mr. Han?
" You'll g-get it . I promise. But please don't d..do anything to Mr. Han. I beg you , pl... please," i stuttred with tears running down my face but he already hung up. I wanted Jungkook right now. I wanted him to hold me and caress my hair until I fall asleep.
Dragging my feet towards the room i was staying in, my heart drummed hard against my chest and my knees were wobbly like jelly . I was tired but I didn't want to sleep . I was scared just by thinking what if they attack tonight .
