Feel bad at times

(Main focus on Ji Jin and Wang Yuhan in later scenes)

Wang Zhao eyed the other designs and his eyes landed on a bracelet. He frowned, the design seemed familiar. Mi Chan patted his shoulder," Let's go." He thought for a moment before he sighed," I want to buy something for Qin Si. You go, I will be there in sometime."

Mi Chan simply agreed, she herself needed a few minutes alone. Wang Zhao looked back at the bracelet. He pulled out his wallet and he pulled out the old rusted bracelet. A frown casted on his face as he walked to the manager," here, can I get this restored to it's original form? It's around Five years old. I see it's still in stock." He pointed at the same jewelry piece.

The employee smiled," Yes Master Wang, you can take it back in a week. We will make sure it's restored to its original form." He smiled and then he picked up a pendant," please pack this too." It had an 'S' letter as in swan. He sighed. No one knew what was going on his mind.

Li Zinhuo eyed Mi Chan as she stepped out of the store. Before she could walk out completely, he pulled her on a side with her arm," come here you little!" It was almost a curse. Mi Chan froze on the spot. She looked at him wide eyed. He stopped midway. His anger was at peak.

She looked around making sure no was watching her. She stepped away," What are you doing?"

He scoffed," I cannot believe you. You are asking me what Am I doing? Was all that effort waste? Now you will roam around without any fear thinking you are safe? No ma'am. There are eyes on you all day, every day, where ever you go. Taking care of yourself is in your own hands. I no longer am taking your responsibility now that you have someone who loves you. Oh no, who you love. Damn me for...."

He saw her teared up eyes and a sigh escaped his lips," I will tell you the venue. Let's meet there and finalize everything and take a real decision of how to end this." He couldn't lose his cool because of someone like her.

He walked back inside leaving the shocked Mi Chan behind. He was so worked up and himself didn't know why. When he saw Mi Chan, he was surprised but at the same time he was not. It was not the first time he was seeing her anyways.

He just wished best for Wang Zhao. He wished he could go and tell him the truth but he just couldn't bring himself to do that.

Ji Jin was sitting in a cafe. There was no one around in particular. It was morning time. She didn't have a very happy expression on her face. Her looks were just like any other girl you can meet. There was nothing special about her looks. But what made her stand out was the way she carried her. Her top notch dressing which was definitely not expensive.

Despite being a psychologist, she was usually free since she didn't take any appointments. Her clients were usually rich people and one of them being Wang Yuhan. She sighed, they were friends from last few years but the way they met was the weirdest.

A smile formed on her face when she thought how much he had changed. She had an appointment with him today. He had healed over the years and now she is his only closest friend, supposedly. Just then she saw him Walking in. He had a sullen expression on his face.

She frowned when he walked to her, without a word grabbed her wrist and started walking out again. She scoffed but didn't say anything. Just as they stepped out of the cafe, she pulled her hand away," I am not your property that you can drag me anywhere."

Wang Yuhan looked back at her and smirked," when did I say you were? Now shut up." He pulled her again and made her sit inside the car and circled around to the driver's seat. Ji Jin looked at the rear view mirror and saw camera flashings.

She hid her face with her hands as he started driving right away. He sighed and looked in her direction. He was sure no one had really seen her face yet. Cause he pushed her inside. But he was not in a good mood that day.

He was sorry for his actions but at the same time he wasn't. After a few minutes of drive, Ji Jin was simply looking out of the glass. He again looked at her," why aren't you saying anything?" She sighed," What am I even supposed to say?" Wang Yuhan stopped the car. Ji Jin realized they were now at his personal apartment.

She looked back," You know what? I am not going in that place." He sighed," why?" She shrugged," Because I said so." He smirked," well you're totally wrong!" After getting out he circled around and opened the car door and pulled her out in one swift pull.

Ji Jin was again surprised, she had never seen him acting this weirdly. She was taking a note of each of his actions. He passed the keys to the guard and lifted her up. Her eyes widened as her heart skipped a beat. Wang Yuhan looked down at her just to realize how close her face was to his.

He noticed her golden-brown eyes staring at him with a hint of an emotion he had never noticed. He walked inside and let her down on the couch. She gulped when his face was just a mere inch away from

hers. He furrowed his brows lightly when he felt his heart skip a beat. That was new.

Ji Jin looked down not being able to match his intense stare. Wang Yuhan lifted her chin up. She pushed him lightly," what's wrong with you?" Looking away to hide her red cheeks but he didn't miss her red ears. He took a seat beside her," I don't know. I am acting weird today. Since the morning, I have been feeling disappointed and sad. Like, there is no purpose in my life. Moreover, Mi Chan was there. She again mocked me for being an Actor. Is it that bad to be one?"

Ji Jin composed herself and leaned back on the couch staring at him before she placed her hand on his shoulder," look at me." He did. She looked deep in his eyes," You don't have to worry anymore about what someone thinks." Just in a few seconds she clicked her fingers. This time he didn't blink and rather smirked.

Ji Jin frowned in confusion," Wha-" cutting her off, Wang Yuhan said in a rather deep and calm voice," You think I would've let you do this every-time. Don't you know how good I am at controlling my senses?"

She sighed and looked away, again disappointed.

Wang Yuhan ruffled her hair," What have you been doing lately. You didn't give me any update though." She didn't give any reply. He frowned," hey!"

She stood up," I am not going to talk to someone who doesn't respect me enough. You always drag me wherever you want and I am always there when you need me, my help. I never ever said I can't attend you. You most of the time hit me up when there is something bothering you. Why is that? Just because you only see our relationship as a psychologist and patient."

"You never care about your actions, if they hurt me sometimes. You have never treated me like Sang Qian or your mother or any other cousin. I too have emotions. I feel bad, I am sad at times, I also feel like I am simply used by you whenever you need me. I am a psychologist not a robot Yuhan. I feel bad at times. I feel like telling you every-time that... please, at-least try to care about me. Cause I just..."

She sighed trying to bat away the tears but they rather rolled down her cheeks. She wiped them away and was about to walk out when he caught her wrist," wait, it is not possible but..do you like me?" Ji Jin froze and looked back in surprise.

Wang Yuhan got his answer the way she looked at him. But she didn't answer the question the way he would have liked to hear," In your dreams. Fuck you!" He scoffed," I can clearly..." he was shut up with a smack," goodbye! I have to go see mom in the hospital." She froze," I mean go see mom."

He frowned, in the hospital? She rarely mentions her family. Is something wrong? Or did he never ask her for him to know?

She walked out shouting," I will take your car!" He shook his head taking a deep breath and slumping himself on the couch. Her words were ringing in his brain.

He sighed, did he never do that? Really? The more he thought about her words, the more sure he became she liked him. Her eyes said it all. They glistened with an emotion that made him wonder how long has it been. When he saw her as someone who would like him, he didn't know why, he felt weird.

Maybe she didn't confess because she knew he liked someone else. It would be awkward if he asked again. So he smiled to himself and imagined teasing her later.
