Ever since Keira knew my real identity, we've been talking more often. But as usual, it is still all about Kim Yohan. Like when Yohan would ask her to help her out hosting a surprise bash for Hyewon or even when Yohan comes running to her whenever things between him and his girlfriend is not okay.

I admit that I get jealous most of the time but what else can I do? I'm not in the place to react much plus Keira doesn't even know that I like her. She made me feel that I can actually be happy again no matter how hurt am I in the past. Thanks to her.

There was this one time that I saw her walking alone while spacing out. I didn't want to bother her so I decided to just follow wherever her wherever she's going. In this way, I can assure her safety and I won't have to worry too much.

She was walking slowly when she suddenly stopped in the middle of the street wherein cars pass by. I pulled her on the side and luckily, the car didn't hit her.

"What are you doing?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

Keira cried out loud when she finally faced me. I noticed that she's crying a lot these past few days or who knows? Maybe she's been like this for a long time already yet, nobody noticed.

The way she act right now is the exact opposite of how Yohan describes her. He said she's usually happy, bright, annoying and playful. We went to the park nearby and I bought an ice cream for her. She loves ice cream just like what Yohan told us.

Right now, I'm happy that i'm getting to know her more and the more I get to know her, the more I feel the need to protect her.

"I saw Dad at the hospital a while ago. Her new wife just gave birth to their child. And, he wanted me to leave the hospital the moment he saw me. He was scared that his wife might see or know that I went there. He's afraid that his new family might see me. W-why? Am I not his family too? I'm his daughter, Junho! Why does he act as if he doesn't know me?!"

That night, I found out about the story of her family since she did not hesitate to talk to me about it. And I also found out that she's been contacting Yohan earlier but his phone is out of reach. That explains why she's alone a while ago.

I always end up bringing her home since I can't keep calm whenever I'm not sure that she's safe. Yohan on the other hand, can't always accompany her since Hyewon gets mad whenever he would want to spend time with her. Knowing Keira, he wouldn't want Yohan to be torn and pressured so she always ends up telling him to not worry about her. That Hyewon girl does look angelic but her attitude is the other way around.

There was also this one night, I was supposed to attend a meeting in our office in Seoul but I saw her sitting beside a bar. She was drunk, for pete's sake! And she wouldn't stop drinking a lot more. I totally forgot at that moment that I still have to attend a meeting and just went to make sure she'll make it home safe.

"Keira, please. Stop doing this to yourself. You don't deserve this, you shouldn't be doing this."

"You again? You know what, Junho. I'm too mad at Hyewon! Yohan went to visit me earlier and she was there, all smiles at me. But when Yohan left to grab some food for the three of us, she suddenly became all rude and fought with me. She was crying when Yohan returned and she blamed me. Good thing, Yohan didn't believe her right away. I'm pretty sure Yohan knows that i'm a much better person than to what she's trying to make me look like."
