It was Jiyeh

She was wearing a leather trench coat and black heels.

We looked at each other for what seemed like an eternity, until I gave up.

I took a side step leaving enough space for him to enter, taking my signal as a welcome, she entered without waiting for an invitation with words.

It was the first time I invited a girl to my apartment, I had to admit it wasn't the way I expected.

He walked through the apartment, his eyes, scanning everything around him, he reached the main room and took a seat in one of the armchairs.

Rocky ran after her, jumped and settled into her lap, jiyeh smiled slightly as she stroked Rocky's black fur and within seconds fell a sleep.

I walk in her footsteps slowly until me take a seat in front of her.

We looked at each other, but no one said anything.

—What are you doing here?.

I taking the lead, as the most mature person in the room, was my responsibility.

She don't answer, I just look at myself without saying anything.

—We didn't end our conversation.

She was right, the last time I saw her, her grandfather came out for her and I left without saying anything.

There was nothing more to say.

I hoped he would get over it or hate me, but he didn't.

She return with more will than ever.

—If you weren't going to stay, Because you gave me hope?.

The same question.

—I told you when we met, I have to go back to Japan, I can't stay in Korea.

She sighed with some doubt and curiosity.

—Is it because of your father?.

—My father is the reason I came to Korea, he was the one who forced me to be a mercenary, he pushed me away for your sake.

I leaned more in the chair.

—If he treats me like this, what do you think will happen to you? Not just you, it will destroy everything you have achieved so far.

She hesitated but remained silent, thinking deeply.

Until he came to a conclusion.

—If you knew that could happen, why did you get closer to me? We could have avoided all of this if you had never gotten closer to me.

Smart girl.

It's true, if I wanted to protect her from my father, why did I approach her in the first place?.
