"We should meet up after you're done working." Han-eun said as she looked down at Willow who had a shy smile on her face.

Willow nodded as she pretended to be nonchalant but her heart was beyond excited.
"Yeah we should." Willow confirmed as she looked over Han-eun's shoulder and saw a little girl look at them from the window.
"I'm guessing that's your sister, Dal-ha?" Willow said her eyes still looking at the young girl.
Han-eun nodded. "Yeah. I better go, see you later."
"Yeah, see you later." Willow repeated before walking away.

Han-eun waved at the younger girl before she made her way to the house.
(A/N the conversation between the two sisters on chapter ten)

After talking to her sister Han-eun made he way to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water before she went out for her jog.
She has changed her time for jogging. Going an hour later than the usual time she went. This was because she got to see Willow and talk to her for a few minutes and watch her make her way to the Johnson's house.

Han-eun has been incredibly happy these past few weeks since she and Willow have become friends.
Willow had a special way of making Han-eun forget about her miserable life.
Willow was like a ray of sunshine through a window lighting up the darkest room.
Han-eun will never be able to describe the fluttery feelings she got whenever Willow touched her.
Just like last week at school...
The way Willow's hand felt soft and delicate against Han-eun's skin was something she she would never forget.
The way Willow's eyes landed on her and stayed like that until Han-eun looked away blushing.
The way Willow would blush if Han-eun stared at her beautiful sculpture for too long.
The sound of her melodic laugher made Han-eun's heart sing with intense joy.

A smile formed across Han-eun's face as she jogged further as Willow consumed her thoughts. It was always like this.
Han-eun replaying the moments she shared with Willow and silently wish they were more than friends but less than lovers. She could say she wanted, no, craved, actually, she yearned to be physical with Willow. She was addicting like that.

Han-eun slowed down as she began to suffocate. She took a sip of her water before setting it down on the ground next to her.
She looked at the busy roads as she stood on the sidewalk just before the entrance to Silverton Square where she had once takem Willow out for dinner.
She liked that idea. The idea of taking of Willow and making her feel safe and happy because that's how she felt around Willow.

It hurt Han-eun a little because she was becoming more and more dependent on the girl and Willow had so much her plate that Han-eun felt like a burden but she couldn't help but become dependent on Willow because she always knew what to and how to say it. Like that weekend her father has shouted at her for getting "bad grades" Willow had said : 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑚𝑒 ℎ𝑢𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟. Those simple words changed Han-eun's life. Willow had said she would congratulate her until the day she died.
It showed Han-eun that Willow was really selfless and sincere.

"She truly is amazing." Han-eun thought out loud as her breathing regularised.
She picked up her half empty bottle and jogged back home excited to see Willow.

***
The two girls stood infront of the Silverton River that had a scenic view as the was beginning to set.
Willow looked amazed as she stared at the couples walk hand in hand at the Riverwalk and some were on the slow moving boats as the two girls crossed the bridge.

"This place is nice." Willow said awestruck.
Han-eun chuckled and she continued looking at the beautiful figure that was Willow. "Yeah. Really nice." Han-eun said in agreement.
