   "WONHO!"

Ji-Yeon groaned at the sound of the muffled voice, who shouted his name. Her face became flush with heat as she remembered moaning his name at that volume during their night together. She tried her best to calm her rapid heart and shot out of bed as she remembered Wonho had tossed her clothes to the ground as he had led her to the room. Running her hand through her dark hair, she cursed softly to herself. She breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed her clothes had been folded neatly at the foot of the bed.

"I've missed you."

There was no mistaking that high pitched voice. Luna had returned from their scavenger hunt and no doubt wanted to see Wonho first before anyone else. Ji-Yeon heard his blunt reply through the walls and chuckled to herself. Letting out a breath she looked down and let out a small but muted shriek. Pulling the blanket up to her neck she cursed once more. Of course, she was naked. Why wouldn't she be after the night she's had? Grabbing her clothes, she dressed quickly.

Ji-Yeon wanted to go out and greet Luna and ask her how the hunt went, but the moment she heard the velvet voice that belonged to Lady Ahri, she froze. Why was she here too? Ji-Yeon tip-toed to the door and placed her ear to it, in hoped to hear their conversation. There was something about Ahri that had rubbed her the wrong way, but she just couldn't place it.

Though their words where hard to hear, Ji-Yeon did her best to decipher it. As their footsteps drew closer, Ji-Yeon pressed her face closer to the door. She heard the word 'distracted' come from Ahri's voice making her lift her face from the door and gaze into it. She could feel Wonho's piercing gaze through the wooden and rusted door. Her face felt hot as she wondered if he really was distracted or not.

"I'm not,"

His voice sounded shaky to her. He was lying not only to himself but to Ahri as well. Ji-Yeon waited patiently until their footsteps faded before leaving her room. She stood in the doorway and gazed out to the empty kitchen. Images of her wrapped in Wonho's warm embrace flooded her mind. His warm kisses had caressed every inch of her. Her face fell flush with red once more and her heart raced with a longing to find him.

The thought had crossed her mind several times, as she remained in the doorway. Her attention was soon drawn to the window she had tried to open last night. The pale grayness of the sky had filled the room with a dull light she hadn't noticed before. The room grew colder as if it was warning her of a storm coming. The thought soon passed as she made her way into the shop.

There was something peaceful about the shop in all its silence. Even though being alone with her thoughts got her into trouble, she rather liked the quietness of everything. She walked by the shelves she had filled with tubs of metal, a sense of pride filled her. She had worked hard that day, harder than she had before. It had also given her a chance to actually watch Wonho work. Even if it wasn't for long.

Even now, in the stillness, she could hear the familiar beats of the mallet on metal. Closing her eyes, she could see him. His arms exposed to the elements, his hands covered in shiny gloves, the smirk on his face as the mallet hit its target. The images sent her mind spiraling down deeper and brought with it the same heat she had felt when her body was next to his. When she opened her eyes, she let out a deep breath.

He was dangerous. Not in a villainous way, but in the way his presence was being demanded by her lustfulness. She cursed under her breath. The only thing that remained troublesome, and had remained in the back of her mind, was Ren. There was still an uncertainty that crept up like a shadow to the light. She jolted her head, there was no denying it though. She had fallen hard for Wonho. And with the uncertainty of Ren coming for her, made her decision harder than it needed to be.
