There was a time in my life
When I opened my eyes and there you were
You were more than a dream
I could reach out and touch you

My tutoring session with Jaehyun persisted for a good 1 week, particularly. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't give up on me. It's just, he's hectic schedule is too frenetic and he scarcely needs some time for a proper rest.

I comprehend, though. His chosen profession justly demands his whole time. That, I guess shrewdly, lucidly explains why he's not seeing anyone right now nor dating around.

Currently, I'm on my way home. Since there is a road blockage, the cab didn't make it to my apartment so I ended up walking. It's time-consuming, but I don't mind. I just need to walk a few blocks, and I'm home.

I subtly manipulated my phone and dutifully sent a charming picture which is my selfie to Jaehyun. I often send him pictures, and he surprisingly does it too. I never pegged him as someone who sends selfies a lot but I guess, I guess. On top of that, I love it too because as I say, seeing his photo relieves and heals my mind.

I'm almost outside our apartment building when my anxious eyes identify familiar faces.

I am more than sure that it under no circumstances was my Father's men. Before they even distinguish me, tears blind me and I turn, running as quickly as my long legs can carry me-both my oppressed heart and body quivering in dreadful fear.

How did they know where my apartment building is? Of course, Jaehyun didn't spill this. Then who? Or were they just so wise to the point they immediately know my location?

I ran as much as I can until my legs go numb. I couldn't feel my legs anymore, but I continued running with a horror they might catch me.

Until I bumped into someone.

"What's happening? Are you okay?" It was Jaehyun.

My lips trembled, "M-My-"

"Calm down first," he says, supporting both my hand.

"I-" I exhaled. I was still incapable to state anything. I just couldn't pull myself up to say something. The frantic fear impulsively took over me.
