Chapter 121 - Fierce Fight! (2)

Donghwa's voice sounded annoyed beyond the door as he kept calling out my name constantly. He was heard banging on the door so the loud shouting of him almost drowned out by the sound of the banging door.

Meanwhile, I was standing in front of the door limply. I could only be stunned, unable to do anything when I heard Donghwa cursing harshly, "Kim! Open the door, you bastard! What's your business, huh?! You are shameless! What exactly are you planning to do!?! Let me take Chunghee home. Open the damn door now!"

However, Daehyun kept looking at me deeply, pretending not to hear anything without a word, so no one could tell how his mood by that expression. He didn't even look irritated, so no one knew how he would act.

He might be angry, but the calmness on his face managed to completely hide his feelings.

He was indeed an expert at covering up his feelings. He was also an expert in knowing other people's feelings. It was so unfair when I realized that he had the strengths.

Lowering my head, I felt helpless when I had to face a situation like this. The dilemma got me couldn't decide something for sure.

Daehyun slowly lifted my chin so that revealing a look that I was trying to hide from him; which looked pathetic at the moment. However, a second after our eyes met in a long gap, I immediately looked away as his deep eyes were the most dangerous threat, made me nervous to stare at him any longer.

However, Daehyun touched my face again, as if forcing me to stare into his eyes that were getting darker, without a single emotion at the glint that flashed through them.

Daehyun's jaw started to tighten, showing that there was something he was trying to suppress inside of him. He then revealed, "This is why I don't want you to come back here."

His voice was gentle. However, the gentleness in it was the most terrible I had ever heard.

While I could only remain silent without a word, didn't dare to say something.

Then, unexpectedly, he was about to snatch a kiss away from me, but when his warm breath touched the skin on my face, reflexively made me quickly dodge.

I didn't dare to see his face. However, By the corner of my eye, still didn't describe any emotion in it, looking flat as if he was born carrying no emotion in him.

In my mind, there were many questions that arose at the same time, but they all just kept circling my head like a tornado ravaging my mind. It made things even more complicated without a single way out to escape.

What is he thinking?

In a situation like this, he wanted to do something like that?

Was he really going to kiss me?

How could he have thought of that?

What's more, Donghwa was out there shouting and cursing him with many harsh words at him.

How could I do something like that?

In this situation ... what was he really thinking?

Where did he find the mood to do something like that?

Daehyun didn't show any expression on his face yet, but his demeanor was completely unexpected, or even unusual?!

A few moments later, a line of cold smiles etched on his face. Instantly I could see how an aura of hostility was spreading out like an intense sting through my heart.

He spoke in a low voice, "I'll talk to Lee."

His deep voice was even more terrifying than the voice of Donghwa who was cursing outside. In this context, Daehyun was the only one that worried me the most now.

Daehyun continued in a commanding tone, "I'll talk to him. Go up to your room now and lock the door."

I was dumbfounded by his words, leaving me speechless.

He smirked coldly, then said again, "So, do you want to stay here and watch us talking, or do you want to go up to your room? It all depends on you. But, if you choose to stay here, I can't guarantee that you will feel comfortable hearing our conversation later."

Two choices described something bad. I knew that their conversation wouldn't be what I wanted it to be. That wouldn't be like a conversation between colleagues but an enemy.

But, I couldn't decide yet. I was still in a daze.

Until Daehyun emphasized, "Alright then, go upstairs. I can't concentrate if you're here."

"...."

"Go!"

When Daehyun emphasized that one word, my body immediately moved. I went upstairs immediately, went to my room, and locked the door.

As soon as I closed the door, their arguing voices began to be heard from downstairs. Donghwa could be heard saying various striking words, but Daehyun wasn't inferior to his oppressive words.

Both of them were condescending to each other. I could hear it clearly from here.

They both are really crazy!

I kept walking forward towards the bed with a blank stare. As I was there, I pulled my ring out of my pocket, looking at it for a moment before placing it on the bedside table.

After that, I took off my coat, then curled up beside the bed while covering my ears with two hands. I didn't want to hear the voices of them cursing at each other.

Without realizing it, my pajamas was wet with tears that trickled down unexpectedly, yet I let my tears flow as they wished, leaving this narrow, dark, gloomy, and lifeless room a witness to how cruel the reality I had to face was.

The things that I had been suppressing all the time, seemed to have appeared one by one like they were driving me insane.

I didn't even remember how I rushed up to this place; how I talked to Daehyun; and how I felt when I met Donghwa; all of them made me dazed.

Everything that had just happened was like a dream in my sleep, but permanent in my head, and the pain was felt real and really painful.

Moments when they both argued, the sound of slamming the door sounded quite loud. I immediately lifted my head in a startle. In my mind, Daehyun had managed to kick him out of this house and made me sigh in relief.

Donghwa had already left and we wouldn't see each other again. My breath was a little short, but this was the best way for us.

My body was trembling slightly. I stood up and walked towards the window to see the situation. I pulled the curtain, then peeked through the window. However, what I saw made my forehead wrinkle without realizing it.

They both were still arguing out there. Apparently, they came out just so I wouldn't hear their conversation. The faces of them were cold and there was nothing pleasant between them. The index fingers pointed at each other and their fists clenched tightly as if ready to be used at any time.

I stared at Daehyun for a moment, his face was still calm even though his eyebrows were almost fused. How could he be that calm? As for Donghwa, the redness colored his angry face. Full of tantrums with lips that were babbling something.

He always talked a lot, though.

No matter what they were arguing about, there was only a faint, indistinct voice. From my position up here, I could only watch them who seemed to be getting more thermal.

Watching them, a thought suddenly crossed my mind. I was wondering, 'So, all this time Donghwa has been looking for me? So, he came to this place to look for me?

Heh ... apparently, he still remembers me as well as this place ...

Previously, I thought that he had forgotten that I had ever brought him here once ...

I smiled weakly. A thought that was almost lost returned into my mind. I also used to take him to my parent's grave and still remember how he promised in front of my parent's grave that he would never hurt me in the future.

Does he still remember that?

Somehow, that thought made me slowly relax. Everything seemed obvious now that he had forgotten his promise, so I didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

My tears kept rolling down my face. Even with blurred vision, I tried hard to eyed Donghwa from a distance, seeing him for the last time.

I should feel glad about this separation, but the more I imagine the reality that we would face soon, where we would go our own way, made me feel even more painful. It hurt so much.

I covered my mouth with my hand, holding back my voice that was already shaking in my throat, about to shout his name.

Looking at them, I wanted to intervene, but there was nothing I could do but stand and watch them down there like a helpless idiot.

However, without realizing it, Donghwa accidentally glanced at the window where I was standing watching him so that makes me startled.

Our eyes met in surprise!

This is not unexpected. He seemed to have a detection device, always finding a point wherever I was hiding.
