Chapter: You're Scary...

It's evening and the cafe was closed earlier again. Everyone left while Aera waited for Do Yun outside the cafe who had left somewhere after cleaning the cafe.

Here Do Yun took a cab and went to Hyun Soo' house. He is nervous and he is continuously looking at the pendant box which he has been holding ever since he left the cafe.

"We've arrived, sir!" The cab driver exclaimed as the cab stopped. Do Yun looked out and smiled as he could see Hyun Soo' house.

"Thank you..." He said in a low voice and went out of the cab.

He stood in front of the door and inhaled deeply before knocking.

After some seconds Hyun Soo opened the door and looked at Do Yun with an expressionless face.

"Can I?" He requested and She nodded slightly.

They both were now standing in the hall of Hyun Soo' house. Do Yun looked at her who looked extremely beautiful. She was wearing an off-shoulder concrete coloured midi dress. Which was above the knee length from the front and was slightly long from behind. It had some floral prints which made it look more elegant.

Her hair was down and straightened and her slight makeup lightened her face along with her metallic burgundy lipstick.

"Ms Hyun Soo..." Do Yun took in a deep breath as he clenched the pendant box in his hands.

"I..." He hesitated as he looked at Hyun Soo.

She wasn't looking at him how she used to look. She was showing a behaviour which Do Yun was unaware of hers towards him. Her arms were folded in her back as she stood in front of him while her face had a stern expression. Her eyes weren't twinkling as they used to rather they had a vague unexplainable stiffness in them.

"I-" He tried again but,

"Before..." Hyun Soo interrupted and Do Yun looked up at her.

"You say further...I want to ask something, can I?" She asked with her monotonous voice.

Do Yun nodded.

"Do you know this thing?" She took her hand in front holding a red handbag.

Do Yun looked at it and he quickly realised who's handbag it was.

"It's my sister's handbag which went missing that day when she was being harassed by someone and I rescued her."

"Do you want to know where I found it?" She asked and Do Yun looked at her.

"In your room that day when you were out with Aera."

"Hyun Soo I-"

"Was it you...who I saw that day in the alley?" She questioned again.

Do Yun looked at her with his eyes widened while Hyun Soo' brows furrowed.

"What did you do to Eun Soo?" He kept quiet.

"Why can't she...remember anything, ever since she came back from thanking you?"

Do Yun shook his head,

"I can't explain-"

"What are you hiding from me?!" She yelled.

Her eyes flooded and Do Yun looked at her while his heart ached. He didn't wish to hear this from Hyun Soo all of a sudden, he wasn't...ready for this.

"Please explain...I'm ready to listen...?" She whispered as her voice cracked in between. She was on the edge of crying.

Do Yun looked down and answered in a low voice, "I can't..."

Hyun Soo clenched her eyes and tears rolled out, she breathed in and opened her eyes again.

"Why?" her voice was low.

"Why can't you tell me anything?..."

"Because..."

"I am no one..." She completed his sentence and Do Yun looked up and shook his head lightly.

He approached her as he took a step further,

"It's not tru-" But he stopped as Hyun Soo stepped back.

She looked at him and said, "You are...scary..."

"Hyun Soo trust me-"

"Please get out..." She said and Do Yun just kept looking at her.

"I can't talk to you anymore so please leave me alone..." She said which came out as a whisper.

"I'm sorry..." He whispered and walked out of her house.

Hyun Soo knelt and wailed silently, she never knew that the one she had started falling for was someone whom she'll be scared of one day.

"Why?!" She whispered as her voice quivered.

Do Yun came out of her house and stopped for a second. He took a glance at the pendant box and wiped out his unshed tears from his one hand. Slightly he could hear Hyun Soo softly wailing but there was nothing he could do. He took a deep breath and walked away from there.

****

Earlier in the evening...

Hyun Soo came home in a hurry and as she closed the door behind her it didn't close perfectly and was left ajar.

She went inside to fresh up and get ready for the so-called party which she didn't want to attend. She went inside the bathroom took a quick shower and came out to get ready. She slid inside her dress and applied her makeup and as she came out she was stunned to see someone standing in her hall looking at her television.

"You should've closed the door perfectly..." He said as she arrived without even turning towards her.

She flinched at his deep voice which filled the silence suddenly.

"Who...are you?" Hyun Soo asked out being a bit scared.

"Don't you remember?" He turned around.

Hyun Soo' eyes widened up as she saw Han Gyeol standing in front of her.

"You..." She pointed a finger at him as she stepped back a bit while her other hand finding something like a defence weapon behind her back.

He showed her his hands and asserted,

"Don't. Don't be afraid of me, I am no harm to you. But-" He paused.

A smirk appeared on his face while Hyun Soo frowned as she gradually lowered her finger.

"He can be..." He completed.

"He?" She questioned being unsure.

"Your cafe friend, Do Yun..." She frowned in confusion.

'Suddenly...why him?' She thought.

"Don't you want to know who was that man in the alley that night with your sister?" She slightly nodded.

"I know...do you want me to tell you?" He paused and looked at Hyun Soo.

She was bewildered and Han Gyeol took this as an opportunity.

"That man...was Do Yun." Hyun Soo scoffed.

"And why should I believe you?" She stood straight with full confidence.

"And why you wouldn't believe me?" He questioned her back as he folded his arms above his chest.

"I know where you found this handbag of your sister at...It was left behind with that man wasn't it?" He pointed to Eun Soo' handbag kept on the table beside him.

His question did make sense to Hyun Soo but she still denied to accept the fact that Do Yun was behind all this.

"And if I still won't believe you...then?" She queried.

Han Gyeol laughed out loud.

"I knew it since the day I saw your eyes. You don't believe someone easily but then...why him?"

His points made Hyun Soo wondered too, why she believes in him so much? It's been just some weeks since they know each other than why?

"Don't you find him sometimes scary when you feel he is hiding something from you? Don't you feel sometimes that he is a danger for you when you find him suspicious?"

He moved further towards her as she looked down and kept thinking about whatever Han Gyeol was saying.

"Don't trust him vastly, he isn't someone what you think he is. He....has many secrets, many...dark secrets."

He further bent down a bit and said,

"He is a riddle within himself which you never should try to solve. Give it a thought, he might be here by any time..."

As Hyun Soo looked up she found him going out of her house closing the door behind. Hyun Soo kept standing there thinking,

"Should I trust you, Mr Do Yun?..." when there was again a knock on her door...
