Intimacy transcends the physical .....

"Ah..... Mr. Kim if you hear my cries inside and out of my heart would you still choose to be here by my side?" long-withheld tears have now been freely released and are dancing on her cheeks.

"I'm here now, just let me know your hurt," Do Yun gently squeezed her hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Kim, anyway did you come here alone?"

"Chaewon is with me but I left her in the car, now that I know where you live I'll have Jack bring her to your house."

"Oh..... I'll let you meet my mother and my children then, please come this way."

"Amor you're here, come in," greeted her mother.

"Ma, this is my boss Mr. Kim and his daughter Chaewon. Mr. Kim this is my mother, Elizabeth."

"Huh? When did your boss arrive?? Please come inside our house sir and be seated, I'll get some snacks," Elizabeth's startled reply.

"Don't bother ma'am, I'm here to represent our company to extend our condolences for your loss and also to help Amor find Henry."

"Thank you, sir, to be honest, I don't think I have started to mourn for my husband's death. It happened too fast and I'm still worried about Henry's whereabouts. I even feel helpless for Amor since I can't be of much help to her from the preparation of the funeral up until looking for Henry. But I need to be strong for my children and grandchildren, we are all trying our best to be strong for each other. Your support to our family means a lot to me, thank you so much, sir," Elizabeth was trying to hold back the tears in her eyes.

"It is my honor to be of help to you and your family ma'am."

"Uhm..... Mr. Kim, what time will you be going back to the city?" Amor asked.

"It was a long travel going here, we may need to spend the night here then leave tomorrow morning."

"Ah..... where do you plan to stay for the night?"

"Can you recommend a place for us?"

"Oh..... of course, I'll make the reservations for you excuse me, Mr. Kim. Ma, I'll just check with the resorts nearby."

"Yes, you go ahead Amor. I'm sorry Mr. Kim if we can't accommodate you here in our house."

"No worries ma'am."

"Ah..... I've booked you a place in Bakhawan, Talisay Mr. Kim it's a cottage which offers accommodations in our place and it features a private beach also."

"That will do."

"By the way, let me introduce my children to you, Mr. Kim. This is Olivia, Emma, Jacob, and Michael. Kids, he is my boss Mr. Kim and his daughter Chaewon."

"How do you do Mr. Kim?" her children chorused.

"I'm fine, thank's for asking."

"Oh, can I bring Olivia with me Mr. Kim so that Chaewon can have someone to talk to while going to the resort?"

"Sure."

"Ma, I'll just accompany them to the resort, we'll come back right away."

"We will take our leave now ma'am and our deepest condolences again," Do Yun bowed as a sign of respect to Elizabeth.

"You don't need to do that sir, your presence is enough to show your sincerity thank you once again."

Elizabeth together with Amor's children all went out to bid goodbye to Do Yun and Chaewon.

A familiar face is waiting for Amor and Do Yun in the parking area standing beside a denim blue painted 5 seater SUV, Jack opened the rear door, and Do Yun, Chaewon, and Olivia got in the car he also opened the front passenger seat for Amor and she obediently got in.

"Condolences Amor," said Jack.

"Thank you, Jack."

After a few minutes of driving, they finally arrived at the resort. The apartment has a patio that opens up to views of the sea. It includes a kitchenette with a toaster and a fridge, as well as a kettle.

"Uhm..... no breakfast included Mr. Kim since the host allowed us to cook, I'll cook for you so that you can feel like you are in your own home."

"This is a great location indeed, what I like the most is the place is quiet and private. Chaewon will enjoy the place so much."

"You can also try the little sand bar for relaxation, since the accommodation is facing on the wide seashore and you can watch the sunset, at night you can also experience the stargazing. That will also be relaxing while watching the stars and listening to lovely music. The host is also friendly Mr. Kim."

"What will we have for dinner then?"

"Ah..... I'm really not prepared Mr. Kim but I'll try my best. I'll go to the market first to buy what I need."

"There's nothing much to do here anyway, I'll go with you then."

"Oh..... sure Mr. Kim."

Amor prepared baked scallops topped with panko bread crumbs, garlic, and white wine cooked in the oven, butter, and garlic shrimp tweaked with the addition of some scallion greens and the kinda semi-healthy crispy kangkong dish because the leaves are battered and deep-fried basically.

"Uhm..... I hope the meal I prepared will suffice for now Mr. Kim."

"More than what I expected actually, why not join us for dinner?"

"Ah..... thank you, Mr. Kim."

After their dinner, Amor looked for Do Yun outside to ask permission for her to leave. She found him resting in one of the benches near the seashore, "Oh..... excuse me, Mr. Kim I'll take my leave now."

"Can you sit beside me for a while?"

"Uhm..... okay Mr. Kim."

"I haven't watched the stars by the sea for a long time, this is indeed very relaxing."

"Ah..... I myself have not indulged in this kind of relaxation for a long time also. There are a lot of other things you can do here in our place if you want to stay for another day or two. It's just unfortunate that I can't tour you around our place but I can ask someone to accompany you if you want Mr. Kim."

"We are indeed at the right place at the wrong time. Why don't we listen to lovely music instead? Surely that can never go wrong," and Do Yun played some songs and turned on the speaker of his phone.

How can she leave him this way?
