Icy-Shock (Completed)

24. As Cunning As a Fox

Heartina...

Next morning, I woke up early and had difficulty in dressing up myself. My pain killers had started to lose effect and the pain was becoming severe. I limped out of the dispensary with the help of a walking stick and sat in the same bench that we sat last night. It took me half an hour to walk 15 steps from the dispensary. Yesterday, Young asked me about my head injuries. But, this was the first, no second accident in my life and there was no chance for me to have a long deep scar on my head. I closed my eyes and thought deeply if I had any accidents in my childhood. On thinking really hard, I felt a sudden pain in my head and all I saw was a pair of ice blue eyes. I opened my eyes and I was shocked. Whose eyes did I see? Only then I remembered, I was day dreaming and those eyes came in my mind only because Choi Young had mentioned about that odd colour yesterday night. I felt uneasy.

"Heartina, good morning!" said Young from the dispensary door. He came towards me and I saw his bad mood had worn off and he had a smile on his face.

"Good morning Young", I smiled. He came and sat close to me and handed me a big mug of hot chocolate. I thanked him and took a sip which made me forget about the eyes. He saw my face and said, "Is anything wrong? Your face doesn't look too good. Any problem?"

"No, I am pretty fine Young", I lied.

"The eyes, Young are you sure they were in an odd colour of ice blue?"

"Yes, I'm positive about it", he said.

"It may be an eye lens Young".

"I thought of it too but, people don't wear lens when they have to run for their lives Heartina. It would fall down and they would miss their lens. Also, yesterday during the chase, there was a strong wind and it carried sand straight to my eyes and also to the murderer's eyes. The murderer rubbed his or her eye which means that it is not the eye lens but the original eye colour", he said thoughtfully.

"You, sure are a great observant Young", I said. He smiled at my compliment and at that moment his cell phone buzzed. He attended the call and then turned to me and said,

"Hwang Tae Kyung has come to our home for further enquiry and he wants our presence there. Shall we leave?"

I nodded and limped towards the car. Again, he had not only changed his clothes but also his car. The car he brought was big making me very difficult to hop in. Choi Young put his left arm around my waist and made me sit inside easily as if I was weightless. He then shut the door after me and climbed in. He himself was thin, but had a well-built muscled body and he carried me so easily. I wondered how.

"Put on your seat belt and also mine Heartina, you did not forget your promise, did you?"

"Thank you for reminding, Young", I said and leaned over to his side to put his seat belt first. I was having difficulty because my hip was hurt from the accident. Sensing this he pulled the seat belt from his side and handed it to me and his hand brushed over mine. I acted as though I did not notice, and put his belt and then proceeded with mine. After I was done, he started the car and I was happy to go back to our home that is the café.

Café...

Hwang Tae Kyung waited outside for us with a very stern face. Before getting out of the car, Young told me he would explain everything and asked me to stay calm so that we shall not give any room for Hwang Tae Kyung to suspect me. I agreed. Choi Young got out of the car and carried me like a child into the café and made me sit on a free chair. As it was early, there were no customers in the café yet.

"What happened to you, Heartina? Can't you walk? You want your boyfriend to carry you in", he said in a steel and cold voice.

Before I could speak a word Young silenced me with his eyes and said,
