"The Ridder! ...,Do you know him?"
"Yes, I am his aide, his personal assistant". Yo-Han replied
"All of you, GET OUT! I need some privacy" Na-Gil ordered the sidekicks.
The group filed out into another room leaving Yo-han and Na-Gil alone in the spacious room to converse privately.
"Speak, you really know The Ridder?, Please don't joke with me." Na-Gil could no longer wait. He owed The Ridder a lot and he had been trying to reach him for sometimes now.
Na-Gil might be a crook but when it comes to morals he had it. He knows how to show appreciation a lot. He is willing to do anything for the Ridder, to pay back the favour.
Yo-han had done his background check and he knew this about Na-Gil.
"I see you've not been maimed in any way, do you still doubt me?" He smirked and asked.
"The Ridder doesn't want you to pay him back the favour, he only wants your loyalty. He wants to know if that's too much to ask for. If it's too much you don't have to worry, it's just him asking you for a favour. "
Na-Gil didn't think twice. "I am indebted to The Ridder, how will I not swear my loyalty to him, I am available for anything he needs me for." Na-Gil replied immediately without hesitation.
If that's what the Ridder wants from him, he would definitely give every loyalty left in him, earlier he was scared it would be something he wouldn't be able to give, but loyalty?, he had little and it's enough to give to the Ridder.
"If that's your choice, then I will relay the message." Yo-Han said and he turned around to leave.
"Wait!!! ... I want to meet him.... Tell me who he is. I really can keep a secret, at least we are allies now." Na-Gil said hoping he could get any information about his savior.
"No one except for me knows his identity and he does not wish to reveal his identity to anyone..., anytime he wants to contact you, he will always send me, and if you need to give him any information or you want to meet him for any reason, you only need to find me, You can check your email, all of my contact details have been sent to you already." Yo-han said as he walked away.
Na-Gil brought out his phone and saw a new notification and when he checked it, it was exactly what Yo-Han said, he could do nothing but sigh, he was not going to get anything from this Yo-han.

As Yo-Han retreated into the hallway, he noticed something strange in the atmosphere. There was a familiar presence.
'I thought I saw her leave the building, did she come back?.' He asked himself.
He traced the familiar soft floral scent that he got used to on their way here. They only walked together for few minutes and his senses already mastered her scent.
He took a couple of steps forward and turned into another hallway then he took a right turn, the moment he appeared in the next hallway he stopped to take a look at the figure standing in front of him. It was her.
Choi Dan-bi had quietly snuck into the building after she confirmed that he had gone in, she had been eavesdropping since.
She was shocked when he suddenly appeared before her, she had hid herself quietly before he could get out of the room earlier. She jumped as a result of the shock and before she could manage to voice a scream, he covered her mouth and pinned her to the wall.
"What are you doing here?, I remembered that I saw you leave" he asked as he looked straight into her eyes not shifting his gaze for once.
She was unable to speak because he was covering her mouth. He noticed this and let go. she managed to force out a word or two."H... How...How did...you...."
He watched as she stuttered, his facial expression was no longer cold, his face looked approachable.
She noticed this and felt a little bit relaxed.
"How did I know that you were eavesdropping?, Uhh?" He completed her question.
She looked away, not wanting him to see her guilty face.
"Hmm.... You look cute in that guilty face." He chuckled as he teased her then he stood straight and turned around to leave.
'Wait what did I just say, was I teasing her just now?.' He was curious as to why he did not think before vomiting those words.
Even Choi Dan-Bi found it abnormal, he hardly said anything to her on their way here, he didn't even start the conversation and he even cut it short. So why would he say such things.
She didn't ponder on it, but she could tell that he was not himself.
"Are you coming or not?" After taking a few steps he turned around and asked.
Upon hearing that,tt she managed to fully recovered from the shock.
"I'm coming" she said as she hurried to catch up with him.
The both of them left the building and walked back to the main campus.
Yo-Han checked his watch and saw that he still had few minutes to eat his lunch. He noticed that the monster in Dan-Bi's stomach had started growling. His face became dark and he glared coldly at Dan-bi.
"You were hungry yet you refused to go for lunch!?, You really cared that much about my issue and you care less about yourself!!!." He was not really angry he just could not stand it, starving herself because of someone else, ' who does that?', he felt he shouldn't have let her bring him here in the first place.
"No, I am fine, I am not that hungry." She said trying to pacify him.
"Liar, even a deaf man can hear how your stomach growls. Let's go the cafeteria now!" He ordered without even waiting for her response he pulled her along.
She could tell that he was not mad at her but her stupidity. His actions touched the deepest part of her heart that she now realised that this idol of hers also has some affectionate.
'Wait whose idol?, when did he become my idol'. She knew she wished it was true but should she listen to her heart? Or should she prefer lying to herself, convincing herself ; 'He's just an ordinary guy, I really don't have anything to like about him ', hmm?.
The only one who can answer those questions was her.
She did not believe that he would be like this to her. She felt like he was like every other guy before not until she met him did she know that he was different.
Different in a way that she can't explain but she comprehends.
But she still doesn't want to admit it.
