Chapter 11

"So, How did you get in this situation?" asked Eun.

"It's a long story," said Tae Jin.

"Okay. I don't have much time for listening the story."

"I didn't ask you to listen to my story" said Tae Jin.

"No, Why would you ask? By the way, you should go now. I have to go home. It's getting late." said Eun.

Tae Jin was surprised by Eun's behavior because if there was another girl she would certainly ask for an autograph or photograph or something else. And the most important thing is she would talk with him gently and happily. Eun also talked with him gently but it seemed like she was not so happy to meet with him.

"What a strange girl she is!" thought Tae Jin. He was standing beside the super shop with Eun Byeol. Now she starts to walk. And without thinking anything Tae Jin started walking behind her. Suddenly Eun stops and looks back. And she saw Tae Jin is still behind her.

"What do you want?" asked Eun being angry.

"Y-your scarf." answered Tae Jin shortly. "Thanks" saying that Eun took the scarf and started walking again. But Tae Jin also started to walk behind her again. Eun noticed that and stopped again. By looking back again she asked:

"What is your problem? Why do you keep stalking me?"

"Nothing." Tae Jin answered shortly. "Nothing? Then you must be such a pervert who stalk girls at night. aren't you?" asked Eun angrily.

"No! I don't. I had a question to ask. But don't call me pervert."

"Okay, you can ask the question."

"How could I go to Seoul?"

"Search in the google map"

"I don't have a phone"

"Seriously? You are so rich but you don't have a phone? Are you kidding me?" "No. I lost my phone."

"You lost your phone? Wasn't that too expensive?

"Yes"

"Can I ask how much it was?"

"It was 2 million Won."

"2 what? You are such a weird person. How did you lose it? Where did you lose it?" Eun said being aggressive.

"Hey hey! Cool down. Maybe I lost it in the concert." said Tae Jin.

"Let's find it. Let's go. Hurry!" saying this Eun begins to run. Tae Jin was surprised at her behaviour. It's not her phone. And as she told before it's too late then. But Eun knew why she was acting like that. She is quite poor. She cannot buy a new phone for money. She hardly can manage all costs by doing many part-time jobs. So hearing the huge waste of money she couldn't control herself. So without finding another way or thinking about another way Tae Jin also started running behind her and reached that place where the concert was held. They both searched everywhere in the place and suddenly Eun shouted,

"Look! Is this your phone? Samsung Galaxy s20!"

"Yes. yes. Show me." Tae Jin come to Eun and see that it's his phone but it's broken.

"Aww! Someone must have stepped on it." said Eun sadly.

"How could I use it now? It's broken," said Tae Jin. He was also very sad about it because it's his new phone. He bought it about three months ago after dropping his old phone into the river.

"Don't worry. You can fix it. Some functions may not work after fixing it but that's not a big problem. You can use it. But now we have to leave. It's late. I have to go home." said Eun.

"Can I walk with you to your home?" asked Tae Jin.

"Why?" asked Eun.

"What? You helped me so I will help you. It's late at night. And you are alone. Don't you think it's too dangerous for a girl?" said Tae Jin.

"How could I trust you? You are talking about danger. How could I trust you that you aren't dangerous?"

"What? Ok. I didn't expect that. Don't you know me? I am not that kind of boy. But, thanks for saving me and my phone. Now goodbye. Hope we will not meet again." said Tae Jin angrily then he began to walk. Eun also began to walk on another way but at that time she saw some robbers come to her. She was afraid that they will rob her but they just move beside her. So she was relieved and started walking quickly. Suddenly she remembers Tae Jin and looked back. He was not so far from her. But the robbers gathered him and asked him for money. There were four boys and they had sharp knives on their hands. They frightened Tae Jin and asked him to give them all whatever he has. Seeing this Eun couldn't control herself and went to the spot. She has pepper spray in her bag. She took out the spray and hold it with her hand tightly.

"What do you want?" Eun asked the boys. Tae Jin replied, " I gave them all my money and now I have nothing but they don't believe me. They are scaring me that they will stab me. But seriously, believe me, I don't have anything else." Tae Jin was so afraid that he coudn't talk properly. Seeing him this scared Eun wanted to laugh but she controlled herself and said to the robbers,

"Don't you hear him? He has nothing else. Now get lost."

"Who are you? We do not take things from ladies. But don't think that we will let you go if you meddle in our work. So, now fuck off and let us do our work." said one of them.

"Okay, but you know I was here for helping you, guys," said Eun gently.

"Help us? Don't fool us lady. Move aside" "No. Believe me. I am here to help you."

"How?" surprised all of them with Tae Jin.

"Yes, For your kind information, I inform you that he has a phone but I think he didn't give you that. Right Mr. Tae Jin?" Tae Jin was surprised and thought if she was stupid. Why did she tell them? He couldn't understand what the girl wanted to do. But he felt very afraid. "Where? Give it to us. Hurry!" said one of them.

"Here you go" saying this Eun sprayed the pepper spray on all of their eyes then. All of them were in pain and searched for water. Eun grabbed Tae Jin's hand and started running. Tae Jin could not believe that a girl just saved him from robbers in the middle of the night. Where he should have saved her. They kept running and went far away from the place. They both were very tired and started gasping.

"I can't believe you saved me twice today! A girl saved me twice in a day!" said Tae Jin.

"So what? But you can't go to your city tonight. It's too late now. There will be no vehicles in this middle of night. And this area is too dangerous for anyone. It's no matter of day or night. Crime is always held here. So, I am asking you, Where will you stay tonight?" asked Eun? "I don't know. I don't have anyone in this city. I came here for the first time." said Tae Jin.

"There is one place."

"Where?"

"My home." saying this Eun took a long breath.

"Seriously? Are you joking?" said Tae Jin smiling weirdly.

"No, I am not. Now come with me." saying this Eun begins to walk. Tae Jin also walks beside her. Now he thought that this girl is not so bad as he thought before. She has a heart which wants to help people when they are in danger. He feels happy now and kept walking beside her. He wanted to talk with her but as Eun was moving silently he couldn't say a single word. After five minutes they reached Eun's home. It was not so big. There were no lights in front of the door. So it was quite dark. Eun took a key from her bag and opened the door. There was no light inside the house too. So Eun went inside and turned on a light. But it's not too much bright after she turned on the light. There were two rooms inside the house. "You can use my room. Go and get freshed." showing a room Eun said.

"Then where you will stay tonight?" asked Tae Jin.

"You don't have to worry about that. There's another room. I will use it for tonight. Now go, get fresh and sleep well." said Eun and left. There was nothing else to do so Tae Jin went to the that room which one was showed to him. He went to the washroom and washed his face properly. But there was some makeup left on his face. So he needed his facewash. He never uses another face wash. But what else he can do? He used a woman face wash which was kept in the washroom. Then he came to the room and laid down to the bed. The bed was so soft but he couldn't fell asleep because he was so hungry. But he doesn't want to disturb the girl. So he tried to get sleep but he failed. It seemed like 10 elephants were jumping inside his tummy. So he couldn't resist anymore. He come out and called Eun. But there was no response so he called again. But it's in vain. So he went to another room and saw a boy who was sleeping on a bed. But Eun was nowhere.

"Maybe she is inside the washroom." he thought. And so he waits for her and sits down beside the boy. The boy was sleeping without any tension. It seemed like he was so happy. Then he looked around the room. The room was decorated well. It was not so big and there was no expensive furniture. But it was decorated so nicely that the cheap furniture looked expensive. The low power light was on in the room. Suddenly Eun came from the washroom and seeing him she became embarrassed because she just came after having a bath and she was not dressed properly. But somehow she controled herself and shouted,

"What now? Why did you come here?"

"I didn't come here willingly. I just came to search you." saying this Tae Jin turned back another way.

"Why?" asked Eun angrily.

"I am hungry. Give me some food, please?" requested Tae Jin. He requested her just like a baby requests his mother to buy them ice cream. So Eun's heart melted and she said

"Okay. But go to the living room. I will come within two minutes."

"Okay." saying that Tae Jin left quickly because he didn't expect that would happen.
