Irene turned around and saw a lonely figure watching her with worry and uneasiness in his eyes. His face was half covered with a black mask but it did not stop her from identifying who it was. She ran upto him and crashed straight into his body. Her slow weeping from before turned into loud sobbing.

"What happened?" Jin tried to push her a little back so that he could see her face but instead Irene held him even tighter.

"What happened? Tell me....Don't cry please...I'm here...Look at me"

It's a proven fact that there is always opposite effect of words 'Dont cry'. Irene crying voice rose even higher and the boy could not understand the reason behind her tears. She couldn't control her emotions right now and her shoulders started to shudder even more. Rather than questioning her even more he wrapped his arms around her too.

"It's okay. Everything's gonna be fine." His voice wasn't deep but it had an soothing effect on Irene.

He continued to embrace her tightly but didn't utter anything else giving her silent comfort of just him being around. After a few minutes which felt like an eternity to him, Irene withdrew herself. Her face was slightly puffed up from crying and she had snot running down her nose. Jin took our his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her face gently.

He cupped her face and looked directly in her eyes "Joohyuna. Dont be scared. It's okay. Everything is gonna be fine."

Even though Irene knew that he was merely comforting her even without knowing the reason behind her tears, she still felt much better in her mind. Jin saw that she was in much better state than before and asked "Are you okay?"

Irene truthfully shaked her head horizontally and said in almost inaudible voice "NO"

Jin wanted to ask her about the reason for her state but standing in this alley alone they looked quite suspicious especially because she was crying and he had his face covered.

"Let's go somewhere else to talk."

Irene nodded and he took out an extra face mask from his backpack and put it on, on her face. He took her hand in his hand and led themselves out of the dirty alley. They passed by quite a few shops and finally stopped in front of the a cafe which was big enough to not direct any attention on them but at the same time was not overly crowded.

It was a blessing that none of them had a crazy hair colour. Both of them had brown hair which did not invite any curious eyes on them. They walked past quite a few people and settled in an corner seat where they were not that visible.

Before he could continue his interrogation with her, the waitress came up to them with a menu in her hands. She handed them the menu without looking at them. A look at her gave the impression of an average rebellious teenager. Irene wasn't even looking at the menu nor was she looking at the boy. She had her face down and was lost in her own thoughts.

Jin however was carefully scanning the menu to look for something which could reduce the swelling that the female idol has acquired on her face.

The waitress sighed loudly at him for taking so long to decide and finally looked at him. Even if half of his face was covered the she could sense that the boy is really handsome. Listening to her sighs, Jin felt embarrassed and apologized in a broken Japanese.

"I'm sorry it's taking so long."

The boy looked tall and had a good built. With his broad shoulders accompanied by small face, the waitress practically squealed with a big smile on her face.

"Its okay. Take your time"

The sudden excited voice of the hers pulled Irene out of her trance. She saw that the waitress is eyeing the boy from top to bottom. At the same time the waitress who had her eyes fixed on the boy asked

"You are not from here?"

Before Jin could reply, Irene answered "NO".

There was no further explanation and her stern voice was nothing but straightly rude. The smile of the waitress vanished and she finally took the notice of the female idol sitting on her left. She opened her mouth to say something but Jin interrupted.

"We would like a dandelion tea, a cappuccino and two sandwiches."

He handed her the menu back with a smile which even though was not directly noticeable because of the mask, it still lit up his eyes. This made the her to smile even more brightly.

When she left Jin turned his gaze on the lady who was sitting in front of her. To his surprise, she had even more horrifying expression on her face than before.
