INSIDE MONSTER. THE FUGITIVE.

CHAPTER 54: THE ANXIETY FROM HER SOUL

Exiting Marie's yard, SolHi carefully looked around, feeling anxiety sneaking into her soul. She didn't calm down even after making sure that nothing strange was around her or a spy to keep his eyes on her, which made her more nervous. What exactly bothered her so much? She suddenly started fearing that she could see Han YuSan there.

Because of the same inner helplessness, feeling that she could not keep standing, SolHi squatted at first, to sit on the cold ground later, right in front of the gate. After sitting there, she bowed her head, hiding her face between the knees, which she held to her chest, wrapping her arms around them, a position that made her seem more helpless than she really was.

Honestly, SolHi did all this because of her crazy heart that madly beat in her chest. This happened because of the same thought that Han YuSan could have been somewhere around her. A thought that made her feel cold drops of sweat running down her back at first and that her chest hurt her too when she couldn't freely breathe anymore. „As I have been feeling lately while thinking about the future and the danger that lurks on us from everywhere," she thought, sighing.

Staying there, SolHi looked as though she blocked her feelings inside her. She also didn't see anything around her, not even the shadow that headed toward her. She didn't hear his footsteps or smelt him as it happened to her each time she fell prey to despair and thought that danger was right there, after the corner, and that there wasn't any chance to face it. If she hadn't thought so much about the future and lived in the present, maybe SolHi would have been more vigilant and hung more to life and its joy, and not of that past that made her so unhappy each time she thought about it.

Yes, that past caused her a lot of problems. It made her seem absent and didn't care too much about what could have happened to her. That's why the shadow could silently approach her and, hugging her from behind, he held her to his chest.

Looking at DooSan, who stuck his forehead to the top of her head, deeply breathing in her perfume, SolHi froze. „Why are you here?" She asked him eventually, scared.

„Because I had to be here," the man calmly replied, having his eyes closed and looking as though he wasn't at all afraid that someone could have seen them there.

His answer made SolHi even more confused than it made her to see him there. „You had to be here?" She asked him in disbelief.

DooSan smiled. „You are here, aren't you?" He asked him calmly. „That's why I had to be here too."

„Yet, DooSan," she rushed to cut him off. „I didn't tell anybody that I was coming here."

„Even so, I knew that," the man stated, opening his eyes and kindly looking into her eyes. „Better said, I felt it because... I saw you spying on us while I argued with Mother's secretary."

Hearing him talking like that, SolHi frowned. Then, she tried to push him away from her but with no success because „It's not funny at all," she slowly growled, still fighting with him. „Nobody saw me there, just as nobody saw me entering your mother's house."

„It's what you thought: that nobody saw you. I, for example, clearly saw you jumping over the fence and sneaking into the house through the terrace that's next to the garden of roses."

„Even so, you didn't do anything to impede me enter. Why? I could have hurt your mother."

The man smiled again. „I won't say no because you could have hurt her. Yet, I was sure that this wouldn't happen."

„Why were you so sure of that?"

„Because I know you?"

„Honestly?"
