Chapter 104 - YOU'RE ANNOYING!

Eun-Woo ran as fast as lightning towards the forest. Even use his power which he usually does not use unless involving battle or enemy. It just he didn't want to miss or risk anything. His mind only thinks about the safety of that foolish girl. Jieun!

With the sudden rain falling there and the wind being too strong, Eun-Woo accelerated his pace.  He's too worried now. That suspension bridge has not been used for many years. It must be already rotten and not strong in shape.  Dan clearly Jieun didn't know about that.

'How come that girl had gone this far just with a stupid request from Princess Lia? What's on the girl's mind, presumably? Dammit!' Eun-Woo is cursing in his mind. Not in the least slowed down his movements then.  He just didn't know what to say anymore. That girl is too naïve for her own good.

The journey which took almost over three hours by Jieun, only 30 minutes done by Eun-Woo.  In the blink of an eye, he had almost reached the suspension bridge.

Out of the blue,

"Help... Eun-Woo."

Eun-Woo was shocked for a moment.  Even making he stopped of his run when he heard Jieun's voice as if she now be so close to his ear. He was also feel as if he detect on something familiar. The power stone.  Same one as his.

He looked around then.  He is in a state of confusion before the signal from the power stone disappears instantly. Realizing that he stopped for quite some time there, distracted.  Eun-Woo started moving again. Not far now. Only a few steps ahead.

How surprised he was then to see that the suspension bridge had half collapsed there. His heart started beating fast because he was too worried now. 

"Jieun!" Eun-Woo starts screaming there. Calling.

His eyes tried to open wide at that time, even though the heavy rain bothered him a little. He surveyed the area to find a glimpse of Jieun.  He was hoping that the bridge is fall before the girl crossed it.

However, his hopes were dashed when his eyes now caught the footprints of the girl still clearly in the snow that was still visible near the bridge.

Eun-Woo quickly observes the very fast current of the river at that time. He couldn't hesitate now even though he wasn't sure if the girl had fallen into the river or not. He needs to search inside the water and if she's really there, hopefully he's not too late.

"Neutral!" Using his power there he slows down the current of the river so that he can swim and dive in well, so that if there is a Jieun there, he is not carried away by the strong current.

With that, Eun-Woo continues to dive into the river and dive. As he can't see anything he come upward a few times taking his breath.

'Please be fine Jieun. ' He keeps praying in his mind now. He couldn't bear to think of losing the girl. It's been a few weeks since he being such a jerk to her. He didn't tell her yet.  Why he become like that?  His real feelings to be exact.

In the meantime, when he already felt so desperate, there was a bright white light shining from the sky down as if illuminating the river area.  In there he could see a bubble on the surface of the water and it is not because of the rain.  He know instantly that Jieun is there.

In fast and without thinking anything else he continued to swim closer to the area before diving again. He can feel it this time. Jieun scent.

The deeper he dived, he could finally see the girl almost closing her eyes. He holds out his hand now trying to catch her.

First attempt. Failed.

Second attempt, he can't afford to fail again. He finally manages to pull Jieun's sleeves before bringing the girl's body closer to him. Holding her bridal style, and uses his power now. The light that had helped him had suddenly disappeared, making the surroundings start to look very dark.

"Aviation!"

Using his wind power inside the river there, Eun-Woo and Jieun then return to the surface and next, to the ground. The river is now move fast again.  As it normally does before.

Eun-Woo coughs a little because of the river water that enter his throat while Jieun, who is now unconscious lying there unmoving. The rain got heavier and heavier there, making the situation worse.

"Jieun! Open your eyes. Please!"

Eun-Woo starts patting the girl's cheek expecting a reaction. He checked on her breathing but it seems gone.

Quickly he did a CPR there.  He knows Jieun already has been in the water for quite some time and must have swallowed a lot of water.  She could be in danger if he didn't move fast. 

Feelings of fear began to manifest at that moment in his heart. Eun-Woo can't feel calm anymore. He even felt his eyes becoming warm there. Almost wanted to cry for some reason, even though he is not a man who likes to cry.

"Please! Jieun!  Wake up!" He urgently calls her now.

As used his palm didn't work enough, he started performing a mouth to mouth CPR there. Only two times he did that, finally Jieun regain her consciousness and cough out a lot of water to her side.

Eun-Woo finally breath properly now. Relieved. He can even feel there are tears spilling a little there in the corner of his eyes. Then, he distances himself a little so that the girl can move freely due to her erratic cough.

Finally settled there.  Jieun eyeing her surroundings that are still raining and to herself, who is now soaking wet there.

"I'm... Still Alive?" She said that out loud.

Her sentence making the worried Eun-Woo is now surrounded with rage there.

"Of course you are alive. Are you wanting to die in the first place or what? Why are you even here?!" Eun-Woo starts to scold.

Jieun keep blinking there in surprise to see the man who is now kneeling next to her, but a bit farther away, scolding her so loudly while she trying to recover here.

Her cheeks are now becoming red due to the sudden anger that creep inside her heart and mind while staring sharply at her savior now.

"Why are you screaming at me? You are supposed to ask me if I am okay or not. And why are you here anyway?" Jieun also start to make her voice louder now.

"You are clearly fine as you are already opening your eyes now. Why I even bother to ask about something that I already know?! And if I am not in here you were dead long ago. Why are you even bothering to come here for some stupid things?  Are you stupid or what? " 

"Stupid things? Said someone who doing stupid things these past few weeks ignoring me like some cowards. While playing with another woman sweetly." Jieun glaring madly now. Eun-Woo also do the same.

Okay, Jieun really didn't mean to explode and tell the guy all the things that were bothering her, but she couldn't take it anymore. If it is so hard to find a suitable time to discuss things, then, let just talk now!

"I'm not ignoring you." Eun-Woo denies it. "And what on earth are you saying? Who other woman?"

"No need to deny it as I already know everything. Princess Lia already told me about your used to be sweet to her, hugging her and stuff. Even give her compliments when she can't get through that suspension bridge. You never praise me like that! " Jieun start to shed tears there. Let it be if Eun-Woo says she's like a kids or something. She doesn't care anymore.

"Why you didn't get married to her instead? I'm already sick hearing her talking about my husband good at this and that. Something that I never even know but she knows about that.  Its irritating me to the end." Jieun is sobbing hard now.

Eun-Woo was shocked there. Did he hear her correctly?

"Are you jealous?"

Jieun become quiet. But she didn't want to deny about that. Just escaping death makes her feel the need to appreciate every moment she has. So she decides to be honest.

"Yes. I am jealous. So what? Which wife doesn't feel hurt when there are other women who seem to want their husbands!"

"Tch! Youre annoying me." Eun-Woo suddenly blurt that while watching his wife that still crying there. 

Hearing that, Jieun getting up there and wanted to storm off didn't want to deal with the man temporarily.  But, Eun-Woo is faster than her. He yanks Jieun into his arm now.

Jieun struggling there to escape.

"What are you doing? Didn't I annoying you? Let go of mmmh!"

Jieun eyes widen there when Eun-woo suddenly kissing her. She try to push the man's chest to separate herself but the man is too strong for her to fight. She just crying there, didn't response to it, just froze.

Seeing the girl already calm down, Eun-Woo stopped the kiss and looked into her eyes that were still full with tears and hurt. He didn't say anything but after a few seconds he decided to lean in again.. To tell her with his kiss and this time Jieun didn't refuse.
