Chan's POV

I didn't know what came into her mind so she threw herself into the water when I approached. As if I was a criminal who wanted to secretly catch her and was trying to escape into the ocean. Moreover, that area was 2 meters deep. Not a very deep number but quite shocking if we're panicked. Maybe there was a trigger that made her remember the incident. Something she was still hiding from me.

After finding out a lot about what happened to her, JJ sent me a text to look after her. There would be a dangerous possibility like this where she feels traumatized, calling back the memories after burying it down. And if that happened, JJ hoped that I could accept Liv for who she was. I understood, Liv just needed to be given a safe place because all this time, she had always felt insecure which has made her a bad person. It was true that bad people were actually good people who were hurt by other bad people. This chain could only be broken if they changed, either from themselves or others.

Now her chain was almost broken and I didn't want anyone to connect it again. Shackles that seemed like fate cannot be considered valid because the opportunity to change would always be there. It was just— did I have a chance to change? Did I have a chance to give her the love she deserves while she was still not completely mine?

I was in the dining room, looking at her territory. I ended our swimming-day quickly, and she was being silent a lot. She only answered as necessary and remained in her room until noon. Like supporting my decision, the sunny weather turned cloudy, implying our situation today.

Now it was time for lunch but she didn't come out yet.  I've tried calling and sending her texts, but it was the same, she didn't respond either. I was restless because I couldn't move towards her room at all. But, if I crossed that line, what would she do to me? Would I be punished by not being able to touch her for some certain times? Oh man I'd go crazy. Or worse than that? Who knows.

But I thought this was the right time to prove my sincerity for her. Without thinking about the punishment, I decided to visit her room. Her situation was more important. Not wishing for anything bad, but I wanted to make sure she's okay. And as I arrived in front of the door, I heard a little noise from the wardrobe— maybe she was changing or just taking a shower. And when I was about to knock— she opened the door.

"What are you doing here?"

"Sorry, I know I'm invading your territory." I inhaled. "You can give me any detention but I can't hold myself. I'm worried."

"I understand. I was just trying to calm myself down. Sorry for making you worry as well."

"No need to be sorry."

It seemed like my face turned red. Yeah, let's say I was a pervert, but it was a man's instinct, wasn't it?  She was currently wearing an oversized black jacket and leaving it unzipped. She seemed to be wearing a black crop tube top as the inner. Her cleavage was very visible— as if asking me to peek at it. Her smooth thighs were exposed in her white shorts. Her hair was made into a messy bun, with wet parts near the nape of her neck.  Her smooth neck really tested my sanity, especially with the pink ribbon pearl necklace that was around it.

I didn't know her intention to dress like this but— I glanced down at my pants. Hold yourself, little bro. Please don't wake up, please don't—

"Chan?"

"Y-yeah?"

"Do I look weird?"

How could she think about herself like that when she could make me fall in love many times? "No—"
