5 six: When there is no way

Lina stood up and search for her cart and found it. She looks at Yeon Hoon and extended her hand to help him get up but he refused her hand and gets up all alone. His heart was beating like crazy and he couldn't think anything else. He wanted to stay like that but as a celebrity, he has to hide his identity so he gets up and covered his face with his hoodie. He couldn't imagine such a thing will happen and he wasn't ready for the sudden kiss. He was hesitating to look at her and talk with her.

"Are you hurt?" asked Lina looking at him with a sorrowful face.

"Oh! Hm....hm..." he was too much hesitating and he couldn't look at her face. He looked at the floor since he gets up and he was trying to control his emotions.

"Where? Let me take a look." Lina was coming to him.

"No!" he rushed outside because he wanted to flee from her not for ignoring her just because of his emotions.

"Hey! Wait for me! I need to buy them." suddenly she couldn't understand what just happened and why he was acting like this.

"Maybe he got injured because of me. Ah! I should have been careful." she said in her mind. It was shameful for her too because many people were there and they all were looking at them. It's people's habit. When a boy fall they looked at him and go back to their work again. But when a girl falls on the floor in front of their eyes, they just looked at her and enjoyed the scenery by laughing at her or by fie her. Lina also trying to escape from there but she couldn't as she took some necessary things and she has to buy them. If she goes to return it now, she will have to spend more time here. So, she hurried up and went to pay the bill.

Yeon Hoon came outside and he was thinking about that moment. He couldn't remove the scenery from his head and he just continued thinking about it. He tried to decrease his heartbeat but as a man can't control his heart, he couldn't decrease his heartbeat. It was feeling like a big wave went inside through his heart and he was shivering not because he was afraid or cold, he didn't know why he was shivering. He felt thirsty but he doesn't want to drink water. He needs alcohol right now. Because he was trying hard but he couldn't forget the kiss. It is alcohol that will help him to calm down and forget everything. If he won't forget about it, he knows very well that he couldn't able to do anything else.

[Outside of Dae Ju's office]

"Hey! Handsome!" someone called Dae Ju. As he didn't get it, he was walking outside of the building.

"Oy!" the lady's voice kept calling him but he couldn't get it.

"Rumi-sshi!" now she called by his name. Dae Ju looked back and found that Min-ah was summoning his name.

"Oh! Me?" pointed at himself he asked because he was far from her and there were some other people who were going outside.

"Yes, you!" smiled Min-Ah. Dae Ju remembered why she called him and he was ready for listening to her. He went to her and looked at her with a questionable eye.

"Let's walk together," Min-ah suggested him.

"Okay," Dae Ju agreed and start walking.

"Wait for me!" she came beside him.

"You can tell me. I am listening," said Dae Ju. Everyone was returning home after finishing their job. They were single, in groups and in duo. So, nobody cares about other and they were just enjoying themselves in their way. The street was not that dark though it was after evening. The street lights didn't let the street get darker. It was a busy road. Nobody has time to look at others.

Dae Ju and Min-ah were walking together in the busy street.

"Do you think Mr. Director is a good guy?" asked Dae Ju to Min-ah while walking.

"I think, he is a good guy. He is always nice to me so if he has any bad side, I don't know about it." Min-Ah said with her smiling face.

"Ah! Didn't you ever saw him be rude with others?" asked Dae Ju because he was curious and he wanted to know about him.

"Yes, I saw him behave rudely with others. But when they make mistakes only," replied Min-Ah.

"Ah! But, I have a confusion about him. I couldn't understand if he is a good person or not." he acted as he understood her but there was something else going inside his mind. He was confused if he should tell her about what he heard earlier or not. He doesn't know her well and if she knows that he knows about the director and tells him about Dae Ju, he will be in danger. Not he will be in danger alone, Lina and Jheong Woo could be in danger too. Because he could understand that person very well and he could guess that if anyone interrupts in his path, he won't hesitate to kill him. He was thinking about go to the police and complain about him. But he also thinks that if he found out that he was the one who complained to the police, what will he do. He might be ended his life here and this, he doesn't want to.

"Rumi-sshi! Are you ever hearing me?" asked Min-Ah by pushing him slowly.

"Ah! Yes, I am listening to you." he wasn't listening to her at all because he was lost in his thoughts.

"Then, why didn't you answering?" Min-Ah asked him something but he didn't listen to her that's why he couldn't give her any answer.

"Yes?" Dae Ju couldn't understand what was she talking about so he asked.

"Why do you think that he is a bad person?" asked Min-Ah again.

"Ah! It's nothing! I just had a feeling. But, I don't know about him much so I think I don't say anything like that." Dae Ju smiled but it was a fake smile. He just wanted to cover himself not more than that.

"That is why you are charming. You never talk anything bad about those people whom you don't know." Min-Ah smiled gently and make a shy face.

"Really? Is it a good thing?" Dae Ju asked to change the topic.

"Yes, Not many people have this ability. They just judge others without knowing the person. And you know, I hate it." Min-Ah was ready to share her story but as Dae Ju wasn't interested and he didn't ask her, she stopped.

"I hate it too." he smiled while walking. Min-Ah was going to destroy his life but she changed her mind. She thought it will not fair to broke a guy like him. She thought he is a nice person and she should respect him that's why she changed what she thought earlier. She was acting embarrassed towards him but now she really feel like that way. She smiled and looked at him though she was seeing his back. It's been a long since she doesn't fall for any man. But now, she thought she was falling for someone slowly. While walking they reached a four-way street. It was not that busy like it was earlier. They spent a lot of time while talking with each other. They were walking slowly and that's why they didn't notice the time.

"My house is in this alley. I should leave," said Min-Ah pointing at a small road.

"Oh! Then, bye!" said Dae Ju and bowed to her.

"See you tomorrow!" she hopes that they will meet every day though they have to meet every day if they work in the same company. She worked here for a long time but recently she shifted to that department in which Dae Ju joined about a month ago.

"He is cool!" When she took her own way she told in her mind and smiled. But Dae Ju was still thinking about the chairman. He still can't believe his ears. He was a great man to him but why he is doing this? And who is his enemy? Why did he want to kill someone? Seems like he has raged inside himself for that person and that's why he wanted to see the person dead. He was going on his way home and suddenly he heard that someone was calling him. He stopped and looked around. Then he found that Jheong Woo was calling him by pulling his hands on air. Seems like he was cheering him for doing a great job. He was on the other side of the road do Dae Ju gestured him to stop right there and he will go to him. Understanding him Jheong Woo stopped coming and Dae Ju crossed the road as there were no vehicles on the road.

"Why you are late today?" Jheong Woo was waiting for him after he came back from his job.

"I will tell you. Let's go and eat something first." Dae Ju was very hungry because he skipped his lunch as he was too busy with his work and he forgot to take even water.

"Okay, let's go. I will have pork belly today. I just got some bonus so I thought...." Jheong Woo was just sharing his thought but Dae Ju got it wrong.

"Yeah, yeah! Enjoy whatever you want! Ah! Where am I stuck! I can't eat anything I like to! Okay, I'll just have veg noodles!" he sighed. He was missing his old food habit and he was trying to overcome it but Jheong Woo reminds it and now he felt like he lost everything. It was food for which he could be bribed but nowadays he forgot to eat and skipped lunch almost every day. But, he thinks that is a good thing because he is saving money by doing that and if he continued saving money like this he could pay it back to the lenders.

"I was just kidding! I will give you a treat today. Let's eat beef. What do you say?" asked Jheong Woo with a smile. Actually, He was not kidding but when he saw that Dae Ju got him wrong, he changed his mind.

"Ah! But, we should not eat such rich food, you should save some money for your future!" as he was not in the mood and he doesn't want to eat that much tasty food without Lina.

"Aish! Don't think too much! Just come!" Jheong Woo holds Dae Ju's hand and dragged him to a restaurant.

"Ah! Why you are doing this to me?" Dae Ju's voice was very low since he met him and he was like he has no strength in his body. So, it was easy to pull Dae Ju with him. Jheong Woo understood it and he was curious about him. It was a big restaurant though there were not many customers. It was almost their closing time and that's why they were selling at a discount. Almost all the table was empty and waiters were busy to collect the dishes from the tables.

"What happened?" after ordering some food Jheong Woo asked and looked at Dae Ju. He was looking at the table and kept glaring at it without blinking. He didn't listen to Jheong Woo and so he couldn't give him an answer.

"I know the tables are beautiful here. But, can you please stop glaring at it?" Jheong Woo was making fun of him and this time Dae Ju heard him and come back to this sense.

"What?" to be assured Dae Ju asked.

"What happened to you? Why you are looking that down? Are you worried about something?" Jheong Woo was curious and he wanted to know. Dae Ju sighed and looked at him. Jheong Woo was looking at him with a questionable eye and seeing his this face Dae Ju start telling him what happened in his office a while ago.

"What should I do now? Should I leave the job? If I resigned without showing any reason, he will suspect me. He is very clever as a fox and I think he will get me. I just can't understand what I should do now." after explaining everything he asked for some suggestions. But, Jheong Woo also couldn't believe and when he finally trust him, he couldn't give him an idea.

"You should complain to the police about him." after processing for some time, he said.

"But, what if he got me? Do you think he will spare me? And what about you? Or Lina? Do you think any of you can stay safe? I can sense that he is a dangerous person." That time a waiter bring what they had ordered. So, both of them stayed quiet for a while and when the waiter left by warning them that they will close the restaurant within half an hour so they must hurry and finish their food within half an hour, they started talking again.

"Yes, you will be in danger." While serving the dishes Jheong Woo replied.
