Chapter 35

"WHAT?! THAT BASTARD IS HERE RIGHT NOW?" Ji-U shouted in disbelief. 

Despite the shock this news had given him, Jung-Hee was able to pick up a large amount of anger from Ji-U's loud voice. The man's eyes were flaming with barely contained fury, and he kept his teeth tightly clenched, as if afraid he might start yelling again if he opened his mouth even a little. 

"Shhhh." Jung-Hee admonished, placing a finger over her lips to signal him to be quiet. 

The two remained quiet, staring at each other. The silence stretched for several moments, neither one willing to break it. Their eyes, though, expressed both their feelings, clearly and openly for the other to see; weariness and worry on one side, and incredulity and anger on the other.
