Chapter 25 Mia

"Mia?" Jeon called my name out in shocked wonder and I just stood there smiling like an idiot. Trying my best to not show my increasing anxiety as he started walking towards me. It worked for a bit until he started getting closer and suddenly, I was overwhelmed with the desire to just bolt and run for the woods, instead of facing him.

"Hey Jeon ...uhm..how are you doing?" I stuttered a greeting in a terribly shaky voice that laterally gave away all my fake confidence. He didn't seem to notice the tremor in my voice though, but then again maybe he did, and was just polite enough to not laugh in my face about it.

"Am alright love, how are you?" he said with his signature smile fixed on his beautiful face. He was now only a few meters away from me and I was surprised as to how I was still standing strong when everything inside of me was melting away to nothingness.
