When Nari awoke she sat up on her bed rubbed her eyes and viewed her room. Looking at the time, it was still early. Her eyes then landed on the dress that she wore on her so called date last night. She closed her eyes for a moment to remember the event that happened that night. "I've had enough running towards something I can never reach." Echoed in her mind then an image of him still talking on the phone flashed in her mind. Tears swelled up in her eyes. "It was a mistake to fall in love with him." She murmured to herself.
Her eyes then started to wonder the room again, then spotting her suitcase half opened with a shirt peeking out of it. She remembered on her last few days of work she worked her ass off to prove that she is worth the promotion. She fell back into bed and declared that today would be a day without mental, emotional, & physical stress. She then took her phone from under her pillow and laid sideways. Nari always text Kyung to have a good day at work, but this time she knew that it wasn't worth it. There was no point in going after him, he's somewhere were she can't reach. She have to go in a different direction, if she doesn't there will be nothing but heartache in her future.
Nari looked at her messages through her phone. She was about to messages Kyung but instead immediately turned off her phone and putting it on do not disturb. She then placed her phone back under the pillow. When she started to shiver, she laid flat on her back and wrapped herself in the blankets. She then closed her eyes an drift back into sleep.
Nari started to twist and turn in her sleep. She awoke hearing constant knocking at her door, feeling slightly sweaty and light headed, she got off the bed and headed towards the door. "I hope this is just a small fever." Nari said feeling dizzy while trying to open the door. Surprised, she saw Kyung standing at the door way. She took a few steps back and suddenly tripped on her feet. Kyung quickly caught her, but ended up falling on top of her. "I'm sorry are you okay?" He said trying to get off of her. Nari was slightly disable, her eyes where heavy being unable to tell what was happening.

She open her eyes seeing that she's holding on to Kyung arm. "I have work. I have no time to play with you Nari. You're just going to waste my time." Kyung said yanking his arm from her. Nari tries to say something but the words got caught in her throat. She runs towards him but suddenly hits a glass wall. Unable to run to him she bangs on the glass trying to scream his name to get his attention, but sadly the words are just stuck in her throat. She sink down to her knees quietly crying. "I love you.. But I'll never be able to reach you."
~~~Nari immediately sat up form her bed. The towel from her head fell off. She quickly checked her surroundings in her room and noticed nothing different. She though to herself "Is Kyung really here?" She picked up the towel trying to remember if she put this on herself.
Kyung then slowly opened the door trying not to make so much noise until he saw Nari awake. "You're awake! Are you feeling better?" He said as places the bowl of water on the floor to touch her forehead. "When did you get here?" She asked looking straight at him. "To take care of you. Duh." Kyung said as he takes the towel from her hands. Nari was glad that he cared, but only because he actually stepped away from work. "Did you even know I was going to be sick?" She asked. He dipped the towel in the bowl of water and then squeeze the excess water. "You ran in the rain and you made a big scene last night. I know you good enough that you wouldn't care about your health." Kyung said as he sat on the bed wiping the sweat off Nari's face and neck. As he lean in closer to her face he stared into her eyes lips inches away from each other.
