Crash Landing on you - the untold scenes and season 2

«By the way, did you get hurt? Are you alright?» - episode 3

Yoon Se Ri's own point of view, after being caught at Jeong Hyeok's house and being rescued by him, from Jo Cheol-Kang's hands... - episode 3

«Have some water and calm down», he said to me.

I'm still so excited about the past events I can't seem to stop chatting. There. I've lived more emotions in the past four days than the last years and I actually don't know if this rollercoaster of emotions is close to the end...

I look at him. Jeong Hyeok. My saviour. The man who seems to be there every time I need. And I thought he was in Pyongyang... how on Earth did he find out I was being threatened, with a gun pointed at my head? And now... now the whole village know of my existence... that I'm supposed to be his fiancée... What now?!

He gives me a cup of water and I slightly feel the touch of his fingers, for the first time... His hand is warm, soft, reassuring...

He explains random house inspections happen occasionally but, and that particular case, he too had been caught by surprise. And he apologizes.

For few seconds, I don't know what to say... What would he apologize for? It's not his fault, I mean... It was that other guy's fault, that creepy man, eager to arrest me. Had it not been for Jeong Hyeok, God knows where I would be, by now...

«Well, I'm sure you were surprised too... and you showed up in the right time, so, it's ok!»

He keeps staring at me...

«By the way, did you get hurt?» - is voice is more friendly than usual... I can feel a certain regret, as if he was actually concerned about what would happen to me...

He's still staring at me and for a moment, I seem to forget where I am and why I'm here. I'm only focused on those dark eyes, that face – that perfect face – his dimples... his mouth... He is so handsome!

I sip a bit of water, while I try to process that sudden concern... He insists:

«Are you alright?»

My heart pounds. Ok, what's going on here? Why do I suddenly start seeing him in a different way? I'm feeling hot, now... And that's the sign of something I've never felt before. Could I be attracted to him? Really? I mean, he is so my type, so manly, so... so shy!

«I'm fine». There. What else could I say, when I'm lost in my thoughts and the fact he is looking at me that way is leaving me so vulnerable...

Another sip. Ok, now I'm nervous. This man has managed to leave me speechless...

«Divison 11...» - he's back to his normal mode. He decides to explain what it is and what it implies. I try to focus on each word he says; figuring out how being a spy in South Korea can bring any danger to my situation. He then explains it was the only way to justify the presence of a woman with my southern style and accent. I must admit he's right and that he's doing all of this to protect me and, ultimately, his men. Yes, he is a smart man, I'll give him that, and that's another thing I like in him... I could never feel attracted to an ordinary, plain man... But Jeong Hyeok is full of surprises... I wonder if one day I'll be able to uncover all his secrets, but for now, I just focus on listening to every word he says. Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow, so even though I don't like the idea... I just have to get used to it.

Ok. Someone is knocking at the door, outside... the voices of women! Must be our neighbours, trying to figure out the kind of woman I am! He rushes to open the door and I follow him. If they want to see Yoon Se Ri, how can I deny them such pleasure?

---

I'm still mad. What? After my brilliant performance, on how a true spy of division 11 should be next to those nosy ladies, they dare to say Jeong Hyeok didn't seem in love with me?! Really? And... my hair??? Disheveled? My beautiful hair, styled by Jean Pierre, the best hairstylist of all Seoul? What do they know about hair, anyway, living there, in the middle of nowhere? Oh, how I hate them right now!

I'm sitting in front of Jeong Hyeok, boiling inside. Ok. I'll be leaving the next day but I still have my honour! So, if I'm about to leave, all the village will have to know I dumped him. Different personalities. And he'll be heartbroken – of course!!! – oh, and obviously, he can't date anyone for six months. I don't know if it's because he's too tired to put up with me or he's really just a gentleman but he agrees. With all my conditions! Then, he smirks, probably amused or surprised about what I need him to do, after I leave but, once more. He agrees. And that's all I need to make sure I can leave with my head up high. There. My revenge against that silly, creepy group of ladies. I can almost see their faces, ahahah!

After convincing him to stay that night – we settled and get ready to sleep. Oh that was a tiring day! I stretch myself on the floor, feeling relaxed to be finally resting and, ok, I admit, next to him. Having a man around is always good, especially if it's one like Jeong Hyeok... the perfect body guard, bulked up, ready to protect me, if that crazy guy decides to wear his gun again, in me! One can never be too careful, right?

I try to start a conversation but he's too stubborn to oblige and he tells me to get some rest... But I'm so excited, I mean, this was a day full of new emotions, new dangers to me! He can't just ignore me!

I want to know a bit more about him... I've noticed he's an educated man, he's even been to Switzerland... Piano? Really? I try to make him talk about it... I tell him I'm quite proficient in piano, I can even play «Song For Elise», without looking at the music sheet. Silence. Maybe he's impressed with my skills... I then try to find out about a possible fiancée... a pianist, eventually?

Nothing. No answer. Better not insist... he definitely must be sleeping. I close my eyes and, feeling cosy and exhausted, fall asleep, unaware, the room next door, that man's mind is turmoil...

*****

«Listening to her, reminding me of my past, my musical career suddenly interrupted has brought me memories, good memories, of when I dreamed I could be happy and live of my passion... That time, I believed I would be a famous pianist; I would marry one day to my promised bride and have one or two kids...

Oh, this woman... she's a real hurricane in my life... all is possible next to her... she seems to attract the danger and, even though I understand she's a victim of circumstances, well, the truth is, she bothers me and there's no way I can be indifferent to her. For the first time, someone is depending on me to stay alive, and I all my actions may put her in danger, so I must be careful, until I send her back home. I really feared for her life and that anguish... that feeling of being unable to breathe when I saw her with a gun pointed at her head... No, never again... It's a promise... I must do whatever it takes to keep the highly skilled pianist princess safe – Jeong Hyeok smirks, amused by her confession -... She's quite unique, yes. And now, she is my fiancée, a spy... for better and for worse. However, even if she's trouble, she's also sweet and fun, and never lets go of her pride, especially when other women are involved...»

He turns off the light. That is going to be a very long night... Under his roof, rests a princess, a southern princess fallen from the skies, straight into his lap and something in his heart tells him there's going to be a lot more happening between both of them, than what they've already lived...
