His safety

Maybe she was being paranoid, but she had a feeling that someone was following after her. Min Yura did not turn back to check.

Ever since she had exited the convenience store, she could feel someone after him, and after all that happened, she naturally found herself being cautious of her surroundings.

There were high chances that she was merely overreacting.

Upon reaching the apartment complex, she finally turned back and did not spot anyone behind her. Shaking her head, she entered into the building.

Even if something was going on, she wasn't planning to confide into someone. Knowing Yejoon's nature, he would probably never let go of her once he got to know of this.

Someone was most likely hired to keep on a eye on her. If that person held murderous intent, there was nothing she would be able to do against.

She might be able to get help from Yejoon, and this will be solved if he got involved. But right now, she wasn't planning to get him into anything until she stabilized himself totally.

This was something she swore to herself and wanted to keep it until the end.

She wanted to gamble on her luck and life right then.

Although determined, it did not change the fact that she was scared. Extending her hand towards the door to the apartment, she opened it.

The scent of delicious food hit her right then, and creases appeared between both of her eyebrows. Earlier, Mirae mentioned that she wasn't going to be home tonight.

Curiosity increased within her while she stepped into the kitchen.

Seeing the familiar back figure of the man caused her to fold her hands over her chest, and she questioned, "What are you doing here?"

Hearing her voice caused him to turn back to face her, and there was a smile that was present on his features. Taking a peek at all the food he had prepared for dinner caused hunger to gnaw at her.

"I wanted to see you," he vocalised.

She then looked at her watch and said, "Isn't it too early for you to get off work and come here to cook?"

"Oh! There was nothing left to do in the office, and I am free these couple of days," he expressed.

Taking in a deep breath, she ran her hand through her hair. She did not exactly feel frustrated at his actions; it brought further ache to her.

At this point, she felt as if she was a mother who was about to cruelly abandon her child. 

She knew how it wasn't possible for him to take a vacation with his busy schedule, and for this, he was risking quite a lot.

That was how he was. When he is attached to someone, it was normal for him to give his everything to that mentioned person. 

He would probably give her hundreds of millions of money if she asked for it.

She expressed, "You know, even if you do this, you can't stop me from going."

A sigh escaped from his mouth while he looked at the ground and stated, "I still don't want to lose hope. There is nothing I wouldn't do make you stay here."

Extending her hand towards him, she placed them on his shoulder and said, "You are really overreacting. I am not hiding from you. Listen to me clearly; I will return. I am not running away."

"Why do you need this? If you want to go on a vacation, it's fine. Why can't you take me with you? I won't bother you."

"What's the point of it if you come along with me?" Yura said, "I am telling you that both of us needs this time off."

He took a step back from her, and raising his head, he questioned, "How do I know that you are abandoning me like the rest?"

That caused her eyes to widen, and before she was able to say anything, he vocalised, "Even if you say it's about me, aren't you just going to leave your past behind and forget about it.

But doesn't that past include me as well? Isn't this your way of indirectly dissolving the relationship between the two of us? 

Even if you return after few months or a year, you would no longer feel the same way about me. By then, you will have a world of yours where I don't matter at all."

Those insecurities of his wasn't something she wasn't aware of. But this outburst of his wasn't something she had expected.

Shock was present in her eyes while she remained speechless. She wasn't able to think what would be proper in this moment.

He wasn't wrong; there was an intention within her in order to widen the gap between them. But breaking ties with him completely a different matter.

This was just because that were too close and dependent for wash other's good.

Before she was able to calmly explain that to the man, she noticed that he was no longer in the kitchen and realized that he had left the house.

Her heart started to beat rapidly while she immediately made her way over to the open door. This was the first time she had seen act this intensely, and she was afraid of what he was going to do.

Running outside of her apartment, she started to search through the neighborhood for signs of him. It seemed that he wasn't picking up his phone either.

A groan left her mouth while she stood in front of the busy streets, and heavy breathings left her mouth. Since he hadn't taken his car, he couldn't have way too far. 

But finding him in this crowd did not appear to be a easy thing. Pursing her lips into a thin line, she desperately prayed that the man would he perfectly fine.

That's when, she spotted him, and relief spread through her seeing that he was all fine. She immediately made her way over to him when upon noticing something caused her eyes to widen.

Yejoon was absent minded while he walked forward, and without noticing the signs, he stepped on the road. Noticing the car that made its way over to him in a rush caused her to widen her eyes.

Her mind went blank right at that instant, and without being able to think clearly, she shouted his name. Rushing towards him, she hoped that she would be able to stop this.

Although her actions were impulsive and dangerous, she did not care about that right then. The only thing that was in her mind was Yejoon's safety.
