Tears - Part 2

Si-o: Why did you cry?
*serious*

She looks up when she heard a familiar voice, and tries to focus through her tears-stained gaze.

She was surprise when she saw Ryu Si-o standing infront of her.

He had removed the brown Loovuz hat and he was looking at her worriedly.

He had this worried expression when he confess to me in the past.

I should have told him that I had no feelings for him before, but now I also felt that not refusing him was also a good thing.
Because I had so many memories of him.

When she recalled it, it sent her to another wave of tears.

Ryu Si-o of all his trainings in the criminal organization, he never learned how to comfort a girl in tears.

He look on helplessly.

He's tall figure, crouched down infront of her, and hesitantly patted her head.
It wasn't a slow, gentle pat, but a hard pressing pat, like how you pat a dog, for being good.

Si-o: *thoughts*
Where else do you pat?
pat on the back? pat on the hand?

Nam-soon feeling discomfort from the hard and firm pressing pat, raised her head, frowning at him.

Si-o saw her puff cheeks, red nose, and tears-stained face.

He tried to show a soothing smile,
but in reality, he was smiling awkwardly at her, trying to show a comforting smile, while wiping her tears with his hand.

Nam-soon: *sniffed her dripping snot*
Do you happen to have a tissue?

Si-o: Do I look like the kind of guy to be carrying a tissue around?
*he continued wiping her face, but her tears were still slowly dripping down, like a dam*

Nam-soon: *she sniffed and pouted again, curling in herself *
Leave if you don't have one

Si-o: *took out an expensive black handkerchief in his breast pocket*
Wipe your face with this

Nam-soon look up and saw him, hands her a silken black handkerchief.

He's giving me such a precious item....
Just to wipe my face?
Don't mind if I do!

She took it and wipe her face clean, while blowing her nose at the end.
When she was done, she gave it back to him.

Si-o just frowned refusing to accept it.

Nam-soon shrugged her shoulder and placed it on her pocket.

Si-o look at Nam-soon clean face. The only indication she cried was her red rimmed eyes, and red nose.

He chuckled as he look at her red nose.

Si-o: Why did you cry?
*he repeated his question*

Nam-soon: *thoughts*
Because of you

Nam-soon puffed her cheeks, refusing to answer, while looking away.

Si-o placed the Black Loovuz hat on her head, and fixed it in place.

Si-o: You left your hat in the car, so I returned to give it to you.
*he pats her firmly on the head again*
I was trying to call you, when you didn't answer. I got worried and went to look for you.

Ryu Si-o had sobered up during the car ride when he ordered the secretary to turn the car around, back to Tsetseg place.

He had called her 3 times and when she didn't answer her phone. He got worried.
So he ordered the secretary to drive quickly.
When they were a few distance at the foot of the stairs.
