A Fate To Love

Chapter 3

I stared at him doubting all the things he's told me. Who really is Hyunwoo? Why do I have this feeling...like I'm being trapped. I saw a glint in his eyes and I remembered of his supernatural ability. "Sae ra.." he whispered taking a step forward to me. I looked at him in fear, shaking, and taking a step back.

"Who are you really?" I hissed. As soon as my eyes were fixed on him, my fingertips shot out a glowing, electrical blue force field, dividing us. He fell back but landed on his two feet. "SAE RA! CALM DOWN!" he shouted with a hint of horror in his voice. I panicked and vigorously shook both of my hands and shot him a fierce, but worried look.

"HYUNWOO! HELP!" I screamed out of fear. My sweat started breaking out and my adrenaline pumping faster. A bright gleam headed towards me as I merely covered my face, using my arms, the only defense I had. I saw a flash of black and felt my face being covered.

I hesitantly squinted feeling a warm sensation all over me. I took a deep breath before opening my eyes. My vision was hazy as it fixed to see that boy from earlier. His eyes were shut closed as his bangs were loosely spread on his forehead. I reached a hand in curiosity moving his bangs to the side to get a closer look.

His face softened as he opened his eyes slowly. I raised my eyebrows in shock to see how beautiful and golden they were. I placed my hand onto his cheek as they flushed red. I didn't notice what I was doing till Hyunwo hurried over and pulled him off me. I shook my head and my cheeks flushed pink. "S-sorry." He grunted and Hyunwoo pulled me up till my memories recollected.

I pushed him back with a grunt. He looked hurt and I frowned. "Who are you exactly?" He sighed. "Hyunwoo." I scoffed and ran a hand through my locks. "I know that's not the full answer, Hyun...person." He glanced at JiHoon and back at me. "I can't tell you, well not yet-" I furrowed my eyebrows and pounded my fist on the counter.

"What is so big that you won't tell me?!" He tried to grab me by the shoulders and I flung him, onto the floor. I grabbed him by the collar and inched our faces close. I spat out maliciously with my eyes glared and a scowl in place. "Who. Are. You?"

I snarled and bared my fangs while waiting for his answer. The silence angered me even more. I dropped him back on the ground and went back to sighing and pulling at my hair. I can't trust this guy anymore. He could kill me in my sleep for all I know. I stole a glance at him one last time and ran. "SAE RA! DON'T GO!" he bellowed.

"I don't know if I can trust you. I'm sorry." I croaked with tears that blurred my vision. Instead, I wiped them and ran away without any regrets. After running for what seemed endless of hours, I stopped and let my hands rest on my knees as I took two deep breaths. After wiping away the beads of sweat on my forehead, I looked around and spotted a shabby, old building.

"It's only for a while." I muttered and stepped towards the beat up building. I stopped as I reached a tattered staircase. The rush of heartache hit me. It was quite hard for me to climb the stairs so I just staggered. I couldn't take it anymore and I fell onto the step I was standing on and broke down, sending loud, ugly sobs into the air.

*Flashback*

"Hyunsik! Stop! You-know-I'm-ticklish!" I spat out as I tried to regain my breath. He pulled me by my waist and hugged me tight. He remained quiet as I listened to his steadied heartbeat. "I love you." He whispered into my ear. I turned pink and replied back the same words. His embrace was warm.

He let me go and sat me on his lap. "Promise me one thing okay?" I asked. He murmured a yes as he continued to play with my hair. "Promise me you'll love me no matter what okay?" He looked me in the eyes and nodded. I looked directly into his eyes... but instead of seeing sincerity, I saw-pain. I saw sadness... suffering...pain. His eyes had lost the brightness they once had before. His face was weary and tired. I looked away and buried my face into his shoulder.

*Back to the Present*

I shook my head from the reverie and placed my head into my hands. I breathed out a sigh and heard footsteps echoing along the hallway. I snapped my head up and placed my hands onto the wall.

I bit my lip as I shakily stood up and froze to my spot as I heard the footsteps halt in their movement. I let my eyes flick against anything I could familiarize, and my jaw dropped at the astonishment. I tripped on my own foot, and my own fear came true.

The footsteps hastened their pace and paused once I could see the turquoise ballet flats staring at me pitifully. I kept my gaze trained there till the person above cleared their throat and spoke up.

"What are you doing here?" She spat with a raise of her eyebrow. I rubbed the palms of my hands on my denim jeans and brought my gaze steadily up to her sneering face. I bit back a chuckle at the frustration clouding her face.

"Sorry, I didn't see whose house this was." She scoffed and gestured around with her manicured hands. "You're sure? I'm pretty sure you knew who exactly this house belonged to, didn't you? Or is your brain too small to define anything of similar importance?" I blinked at the insult and resisted the urge to snarl.

I shook my head, nodding as I fisted my hands at my side. "Yeah. That's it. My brain is too small to define it because this house isn't important to me anymore. All I saw was a shabby old building, sue me." Her jaw dropped unhinged and let a triumphant smirk cross my features. I inhaled and crossed my arms across my chest and made my way towards the front door.

I heard footsteps making their way behind me before I felt a harsh tug on my shoulder. "Crap! What's wrong with you!" She grinned with venomous rage before her eyes narrowed dangerously to which she rose her hand to point at the door.

"You had to have a goodbye gift, didn't you?" She chuckled and eyed me up and down, settling her beady little eyes on my face. "You look awful, as usual. Whose got you crying this time, Sae Ra?" I bit my lip hard enough that I felt the copper in my mouth instantly.

I felt the familiar wall of tears well up in my eyes before I spat some blood on the floor. She look disgusted at my gesture and she turned to me, rage ridden. A faint grin forced it's way onto my face and I rose my nose up into the air.

"Nothing important." I retorted and glided out of the house with a scowl etched on my face.
