A Familiar Stranger

Ash woke up early next morning. Mirae was still sound asleep, with her arms wrapped around his chest. He checked the bedside clock. It was almost 8:30 AM. Both of them were so tired that they had slept for almost a day. 

Careful not to wake her, Ash untangled himself from her arms. Mirae stirred a little but was still snoozing. He got off the bed and headed for the bathroom to freshen up. He wanted to meet KJ in private. Staring at the sleeping girl on the bed, a small smile formed on his lips.

She looked so peaceful at that time. It was hard to imagine that this girl was the head of a secret organization which was trying to bring down the biggest criminal organization of the country. Ash watched as Mirae turned around, murmuring in her sleep.

"Ahjumma...the beef isn't fried enough…" she mumbled. It was incredulous how she was still dreaming of food in her state. Ash shook his head and headed into the bathroom.
