Yoona stared long and hard into Ji-yong's eyes and she saw herself in them.

Haggard and tired – she looked like she was going to be blown away by a mere breath. She hated herself then. A single tear escaped from her eye and Ji-yong immediately crushed her into his embrace.

"Mianhe...Ji-yong-ah..." and she hugged him as fiercely as he was hugging her. They stayed that way for a long while and Yoona only let go when her stomach grumbled angrily.

She finally laughed and Ji-yong was relieved.

"I'm sorry I worried you...come let's eat, shall we?" she smiled prettily at him and held out her hand. Ji-yong stood dumbfounded because earlier that evening, Yoona had been on the brink of despair but now she was back to her former self.

He was scared.

"What's the matter, Ji-yong-ah?" Yoona asked him, her eyes were full of concern. She gasped as she realized why he hesitated. "Look at me – I'm not crazy yet okay?! But jebal – I really need to eat first – please?!" she then said the last part cutely but promptly shivered afterwards. Ji-yong finally laughed.

"Neh – arrasseo!!" he took her proffered hand and they went together to find food.

When Yoona finished the last blood sausage on her plate, Ji-yong was quietly judging her. "What?" Yoona slurped the last bit of sauce as her eyes twinkled with mischief at her boyfriend.

In truth, she hated herself more than she hated her sister's captor because she was such a burden to Ji-yong. Instead of staying strong – she became a useless idiot – who became so paralyzed with fear thus becoming more and more useless. She badly wanted to hit herself but then Ji-yong would really believe that she'd gone over the edge.

"So – here's what we'll do-" Yoona began but immediately stopped when she saw Ji-yong raised his hand to silence her. She swallowed hard as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Yah – why are you in such a hurry to avoid our other issue here?" Ji-yong asked calmly but Yoona knew he was angry and hurt at the same time.

"I-" Yoona hesitated. Part of her wanted to forget the whole episode of her idiocy but she knew that she should address it so that Ji-yong would understand but part of her really wanted to explain her behavior to Ji-yong because she trusted him. When she finally made up her mind, she said, "Let's take a walk..."

The night air was cold and it stung their faces but the two never minded the cold.

Their minds were occupied with so many thoughts. "I hated myself when I realized the ordeal I put you trough..." she began. Ji-yong briefly pursed his lips and nodded. Yoona then explained how she has regretted her actions that might have led to the delay of her sister's rescue. After explaining everything, both of them sat on a park bench. Everything was quiet and Yoona wondered about what Ji-yong's response would be. She gasped when his cold hand touched hers.

He intertwined their fingers and simply said, "Jung Yoona – saranghae..." He then lifted her chin and tilted his own head to kiss her. Yoona cried as she poured her heart in kissing Ji-yong back.

And everything was alrightwith the world.
