Chapter 20 "Obsessive heart pounding feeling"

Noah felt something that he had never felt before.. it was an emotion that nobody made him feel like.. No one said to him that they were worried for him or they cared.. From the moment he started to understand things, it was always this class, that training, he never got to spend time with his family to have a conversation like that..

Noah was amazed by this foreign feeling.. He felt like he could get obsessed to the amazingly heart pounding feeling in his heart..

He saw Da-eun looking at him with her eyes, that were swollen from all the crying, and thought that it was not bad to have someone worry for him..

Da-eun saw Noah looking at her, she said "I.. of course I'm worried.. umm.. you are father's son, so it's part of my responsibility to take care of you.. so, when you left without letting me know, I was worried.." she felt embarrassed, talking about her feelings was not something she was good at..

She averted her eyes, Noah's gaze was too intimidating for her to maintain the eye contact.. she was embarrassed by that, how could she feel like that because of a child half her age? It was not something she could accept..

Noah saw her turning her face sideways to hide her expressions.. he was a genius with an IQ way higher than kids his age.. but this was the first time he had come across something that he was struggling to understand.. it was hard to understand what he was feeling.. he wanted to know more about it.. he wanted to feel this emotion again.. he wanted to feel his heart pounding loudly..

"Is that so? Alright.. I understand.. now go and wash your face.." He said to Da-eun, returning to his normal serious self.. He saw that she was avoiding the topic, so, he was also not going to keep probing on it..

He then turned to Elio who was standing behind him and said "Go and prepare something light for dinner.. I'm also going to change, make sure to be quick.." After saying that he strode towards the room he was staying in..

He took a quick shower and changed into his pyjamas.. he was about to turn off the light and leave the room, when he was his phone blinking on the bedside table..

Noah picked up the phone and unlocked it to take a look.. it was a text from his father saying "It's about time.. make sure to stay by her side all the time.. You know what to do, when 'that' happens.. I've dispatched a group of skilled man to make sure you both are safe.."

Noah's eyes turned cold as he read the text.. he typed a few words and replied to his father "Understood.. I'll be around her.."

He stood there looking at his phone for a few seconds then typed another message.. "I've sent you the location.. come here by midnight, with your men.. you know what to do.. don't disappoint me.."

Within a few seconds his phone blinked again "Don't worry young master.. I understand.. I'll not disappoint you.."

Noah read the message, put his phone inside his pocket and walked out of the room…

Whereas, Da-eun was still in a daze when she got inside her room and closed the door.. she stood there for a few seconds thinking about her actions.. she mumbled in a soft voice "I hugged him.. aahhh.. how can you do that Da-eun? Have you lost your mind?"

She shook her head to clear her mind and get out of her thoughts, walked to her closet and took out her pyjama set, then entered the bathroom to get a shower..

Da-eun walked out of the shower after twenty minutes.. she sat in front of the dressing table, and started to blow dry her hair.. she looked at her reflection in the mirror, and all of a sudden she felt a little dizzy..

She stopped blow drying her hair and put her other hand on her forehead as she felt a sharp pain following right after the dizziness.. She sat there in that position for two to three minutes until the dizziness and pain finally subsided..

She happened to look up for a second and saw her reflection in the mirror and noticed that her eyes had turned purple.. she was surprised for a second before she closed her eyes and opened them again to look in the mirror to see her eyes.. they were back to normal..

It was as if she was hallucinating.. she thought that it was because of her dizziness that she thought for a second that her eyes had turned purple..

Da-eun smacked herself in the head and laughed at herself "Have you gone crazy because of the pain in your head? How's it possible to have a change in your eye colour? It must be because I'm hungry and cried a lot after a long time, so, my eyes are just too exhausted to make me see that.."

She reasoned with herself for her stupid illusion.. and got back to drying her hair.. after she was done, she walked out of the room to the living room..

As she entered the living room, she saw Noah doing something on his laptop.. Da-eun wanted to take a look at what he was doing but then decided against it and sat on the chair, facing Noah.. then she took out her phone to take a look at her SNS account..

There was a message from Yuna saying "Hey Eunaa.. tell me all about your 'date' with Aldo.. I want to know everything.. ASAP.." The message showed the time 9:07 pm.. that was twenty minutes ago..

Da-eun thought about replying but then she decided not to.. 'I'd tell her about the 'date' when we meet..'

Next message was from Aldo saying "I'm home.. I felt really good today after a long time.. thank you so much for your time.. and once again I am sorry for all that I did in the past.. okay.. good night.. take care of yourself.."

Da-eun read the message and her lips curved upwards into a smile.. Noah, who was working on something on his laptop, saw this and narrowed his eyes, but said nothing and went back to work on his laptop..

Da-eun was scrolling on her phone when Elio came and said "Young master, miss, dinner is ready.. please come to the dining table and have it while it's still warm.."

Noah powered off his laptop and made his way to have dinner.. Da-eun also put her phone on the table and went to have dinner..
