The Binding Angel (Completed)

Chapter 10

Hyunbin sat on the sofa with his eyes following the steps Yejin's had taken. She put the new clothes on Nana and now was patting Nana's chest lightly to make her turned into a deep sleep. Nana's condition was much better and can go home after 24 hours.

His heart suddenly twitched from the plan he wanted to utter. His heartbeat fast knowing that this time would come. The time they should be apart from each other.

For long his stares were stuck on her with tons of thought. He took a sip of mineral water from the table, realizing that his nervousness overcomes his thought.

"Daepyo-nim..." Yejin's voice made him turned his head above.

"Do you want a warm coffee, I want to go outside for a drink..." Yejin asked him softly. Her crescent eye smile turned his face into a daze.

"OH..uh.." he hummed agreeing with her. She left him again into deep thought. He didn't know how to start the conversation between them. On other hand, he still didn't want to separate from her. The times she was coming into his life turned his life better. He was too much into her.

The last words that she didn't want separate from Nana twitching his heart. He didn't know how to do it. If he was being egoistic, she would give up on her dream again to be a writer. On the other, if he wasn't, Nana and also him were going to lose the place they could put their back on it to comfort them.
He lost his thought didnt even realizing, that Yejin had sat beside him with a warm coffee in front of him. She took a sip of chocolate on her grab. Hyunbin saw all the scenes with a warm heart.

"Yejin-ssi.." Hyunbin started the conversation.

"Ne, daepyo-nim.," Yejin replied him blinking her eyes. Hyunbin took a sip of coffee in front of him, trying to decrease his nervousness.

"I am going to Japan, 3 weeks ahead. You know that Lee Munyeong and I are going to expand our company. I am as the vice and the young one would represent for Japan while Lee Munyeong daepyo-nim handled things in Korea. And it is not for a short time, looked like I should move to Japan." He gulped his coffee once again.

"Of course I should bring Nana with me.." he stated slowly as he wasn't ready enough to separate with her.

"Daepyo-nim..." Yejin blinked her eyes uneasy, didn't know how to react.

"I didn't know what to say about this. But, we should separate this way.." he chuckled as sipping his coffee to show that he was alright, even though it wasn't at all.

"Daepyo-nim..I.." Yejin tried to burst out her thought, but suffocate herself about the news.

"I heard that you are given a time for 2 weeks with Lee Munjeong to go for Jeju.." Hyunbin stopped by his own words. "I am sorry I just heard it that day when your friend was coming..." he clasped his hands nervously to depress his thought. Yejin was in silence tried to understand the unexpected news from him. They were drawn into their deep thought again.

"Daepyo-nim...I am sorry... I couldn't understand what you're saying.." Yejin's tears started to wet her eyes which she didn't know the reason. "I am sorry...I don't know why these tears are coming.." Yejin wiped away her tears and put the paper cup on the table. She didn't know when the feeling appeared, but she felt sudden remorse in her heart. She couldn't handle time, place, and condition. However, this moment broke her heart.

"I read your diary... You dream that you're holding for long to be a writer... it is your only chance to be the one under Lee Munjeong.." Hyunbin grabbed her hand tightly and gave her a faintly smile to convince her that he would be fine. Yejin was surprised by his thought. The fact that he put her beyond anything touched her.
