[ Jan 15 - Sunday - 1:34 pm ]

Already past noon and HanEul laid her bed with black shorts and a simple white shirt as she's stared up at the ceiling. Thinking deeply what just happened yesterday. Flashbacks of yesterday event are still fresh in her memories. She frowned a little then had her arm covered her eyes. What's wrong with me? This isn't me. If I would look myself couple months ago, she would ignore the whole situation. So, why am I so worked up to give so much attention to this idiots!?

Not only she was scolding herself about the unexplainable things she has done but also recovering the after affect when her body goes under extreme pain and losing lots amount of blood and energy. She can already imagine that her hands are sweaty—even though the air conditioner is on, difficult of breathing, and sensitivity to the light. HanEul is definitely not looking too good. If anyone would have seen her right now they would've probably thought she is dying. Which she is, not that anybody knows that. But one thing for sure she is glad that her parents decided to go on a business trip and they won't come back after a week later.

Good enough time for her to make sure she look somewhat good and healthy when her parents gets home. Not to mention has to appear to be nice and well for this formal ceremony she will attend to a couple of weeks from now. Where both sides of the family will meet and combined any kind of business or family connection. So there's more people she needs to continue to lie. Well there's no going back since I went this far. Just when HanEul decided to take a short nap—the door bell of her house rung.

She thought it must be a mistake because there's no way someone would visit her. She doesn't have any kind of friends would want to see her. But then again she heard it the door bell rung again. HanEul sat up carefully and sat there for a moment. Waiting for that door bell till it did ring again. She has no choice but to answer it. As she ascend downstairs, letting the riling guide her down from falling cause of her weak body while her other hand clench her gown on her chest as it wraps her delicate figure. Just as she open the door, she couldn't be more astonished when she met unsuspected visitor at her doorstep.

"Hey, can we talk?" - the person ask. HanEul looked at her for a moment and she can see it made the person uncomfortable from her stare but eventually HanEul widen her door and let the person enter her house. Right of the bat when HanEul closed the door, the person grabbed HanEul both arms and said, "What you said yesterday is a lie, right? Is not true, right? I mean, there's no way they could've done something horrible like that, would they?"

HanEul didn't say a word but she did try to guide to her living room so she can explain everything. But they stop their tracks when they heard the door bell ring again. HanEul look at the person next to her as if she had something to do with this but HanEul can tell that the person only came by herself. HanEul didn't waste time and told the person to wait for her in the living room then headed to open the door again. Too her surprise, she sees her teacher standing there before her—wearing casual clothes.

This was new to her to see. HanEul look at him from head to toe and there's no doubt that this man in front of her, the nice gentle teacher could also be an attractive person. Her brain formulated no thoughts other than to register that she was shocked till his husky yet sweet voice came to her ears. "HanEul-ah can I come in?" - he asked carefully, while looking at her with his brown-eyes that are hickory rich as the earth's soil. Of course, she could denied his request from coming inside her house but then she thought there might be reasons for him seeing her personally, even when the risk for someone seeing them together.
