Fated To Love You

13th string - Chasing Her

MARCUS’s POV

 

As I hanged up the phone after my call with Yuri, I think I saw Rin pass by running. Why was she in a hurry then?

I kept wondering. For some reason I was worried about her. It felt like she ran because she was feeling bad about something.

She must had a bad fight with the elders.

Poor girl.

I let out a sigh escape from me.

I knew what I said earlier must have offended her… or not? But still, I was very harsh. I had said that I will not marry a person that I don’t like. And she must have thought that I don’t like her.

What should I do?

I started to walk going home. Home’s not really too far away and it’s good it’s already night time, so people would not recognize me.

I took out my cap from my bag and wore it. I did not pull it down. I was not in the mood to act top-secret, since I can’t pull off my thoughts about Rin.

By now she must have felt more troubled than I am since I left her alone earlier.

By now she must have been sulking or thinking over it on her own.

By now she must have wanted to be alone.

And then I just shook my head.

“Why am I even thinking of her this much.” I hated the feeling that this gives me.

My heart kept throbbing for an unknown reason.

It was 10:45 in the evening when I reached home. As the gate opened I went straight going inside.

I opened the door and passed by the living room, but to my surprise, Rin’s mom is still in our house. And when I got to get a closer look at her, she looked as if she just cried.

“I’m home.” I muttered and then bowed behind them. They looked at me and I saw Mrs. Lee’s eyes turn from sadness to full of hope.

She ran to me and then placed my hands in hers.

“M-Marcus, did you go home with my daughter? Is she home by now?” She asked me quite full of worry.

“N-no! I have not gone home with her. But I think I saw her pass by me at the restaurant’s parking lot running a while back. She seems to had been in a hurry. Why Mrs.Lee, have she not gotten home yet?” I told her keeping my calm.

And she shook her head so many times to give her reply.

Why is Rin not home yet? Where could she be?

I felt the worry start to crawl back in me again.

“Oh my. My daughter.” Mrs. Lee cried and then she fell on her knees to the floor.

“I—I must have not rushed things with her. We could have done it later. I should have not pushed her to her limit yet again… I—“ But she ended up tearing up again.

And then I felt the need to comfort her. So I sat down and comforted her. I patted her back and told her, “Ommo-nim,   don’t cry like that. Rin would not want to see you like this. She would be sadder than you are if you keep on crying. I will look for her, so please go home for now.” I said reassuringly.

“Y-you will?” She cried, and I nodded at her and then let out a small smile.

And then I received the warmest hug in a long time from her.
