"You are such a trouble maker, little lady."  Hearing those voice I knew it was him. Well that was unexpected. Like seriously. Why is he here?

He took his hands off me and letting me turn around and catch my breath. My legs felt weak after all that running eventually I fall on the ground with my heart beating fast. White puff air came out from my mouth matching my breath.

"Why a little lady like you running around chased by those guys at this time?" 

I looked at him, dumbfounded and relieved at the same time. Soon after I catch my breath, I looked up facing his face in the dim orange light of the street but eventually face the cold tar road again. My heart is still pounding hard wanting to get out and run.

"It's just..."

"It's just none of your business." I spoke, almost like whispering.

He walked slowly near me with both of his hands inside his sweater. It's cold tonight. Colder than other nights I've been through alone. He bends towards me and his face is now just 5 inches away from my face.

"Look here, little lady." He stops, making me lift my face up without realizing.

"I don't give a fuck about your past. What I'm concerned right now is the fact that 3 strange guy chased you like you owe them 1 billion won. You're being such a bitch for letting yourself eaten by your ego."

His eyes changed. His eyes are cold like the winter but somehow I sense warmth within it despite the harsh shit he just spit on me. He lift his head and walked away to the dark side if the street, leaving me in my realization tears in the cold night.

"Come, I'll carry you to my place." He held his hand out, offering his back to carry me.

"Why would I want to ride your sweaty back?" I sniffed.

"Just come here!" He shouted. I can see his face are red under the dim light, controlling his embarrassment upon my insult. I can do nothing but smile in humor. "I can walk." i said while standing up but ended fall down. Why the fuck is my knee so weak? This is why i can never join the running club. 

"Before they find us again. Please let me carry you." I was relunctant but i do as he told and ride his piggyback. I wonder if I'm heavy to him.

"You're not that heavy" He said swiftly. Well that shocked me. Is he telepathic or something? Silence creep in between us with the winter wind slaps my cheek softly with the coldness. I've been thinking about all the things that had happened to me. My breath begin to feel heavy and my eyes are teary from the thoughts.

"You don't have to hold it in." He stopped his footsteps and broke the silence with those words.

It seems that i instinct told me trust him in a way that I cannot explain. My heart becomes heavy as memories flashed back in my mind and eventually tears gushed down from my eyes. I hugged him tighter from behind and started crying.
