Chapter three

Yoon Ae-jung managed to drive herself home. As soon as she walked through the entrance, Eun Ji-young ran up to her with a bright smile but that smile seized in a second.

Eun Ji-young saw her friend's pathetic state and was short of words. She didn't know what to say nor did she think her friend was in any state to talk.

Instead of saying anything, she hugged her warmly and patted her head. Yoon Ae-jung who had her feelings bottled up inside for a long time couldn't contain them anymore and cried.

***

On her bed, Yoon Ae-jung lay under her sheets quietly after taking a bath. She didn't want to talk to anyone neither could she sleep.

The side of her bed curved down, "You should eat something before going to bed. It's not good to sleep on an empty stomach." Eun Ji-young suggested but got no response.

"Please..." she added and only then did Yoon Ae-jung sit up. She looked at the food on the table but didn't have any appetite. Her eyes were swollen and her eye bags were dark.

Eun Ji-young didn't ask about anything that happened. She didn't want Yoon Ae-jung to be reminded of what happened and cry again.

Yoon Ae-jung picked up the cup of tea and drank the whole content. This was to appease her friend and after doing that, she turned and laid down again using the blanket to cover her face.

Eun Ji-young sighed and went out of the room but a few minutes later, Yoon Ae-Jung's door opened again and she felt Eun Ji-young's hand hug her from behind. It was only then that she was able to sleep properly.

***

Two days passed and Yoon Ae-jung got no call from the mysterious man who had helped her. She needed to return his tuxedo but he never called her to request it.

She looked at the tuxedo that was hung in her room thinking about why he never asked for it when a knock came on the door.

Eun Ji-young's head peeped through the open space leaving her body outside Yoon Ae-jung's room. She was wearing her big round recommended glasses that she wore all the time.

"I'm going out to buy some groceries, would you like to come?" she asked and Yoon Ae-jung nodded in response.

"Great! I'll be waiting for you in the car." she left as soon as she said that, giving Yoon Ae-jung some space to change.

The grocery store was gigantic. There was nothing one was looking for that wouldn't be found there.

"Would you wait here while I go to get some ingredients?" she asked seeing that Yoon Ae-jung was sapped. It was a miracle that she had even agreed to follow.

Eun Ji-young smiled and pointed at a chair at the side, "Sit here, I'll be back before you know it." after saying this, she went to the fresh food section, while Yoon Ae-jung waited patiently.

Eun Ji-young walked through the aisles looking for the items she needed when suddenly, someone bumped into her causing her to trip.

"Ouch..." she groaned as she held her ankle.

"I'm sorry..." his words stopped halfway as their eyes met but he soon tore his eyes from hers and focused on her ankle.

For a moment, Eun Ji-young felt no pain. 'How can someone be so mesmerizing?' She wondered.

"Are you hurt?" he asked worriedly but got no response.

Eun Ji-young was lost in her thoughts and didn't even realize that he was asking a question.

He waved his hand in front of her awakening her from her daydream.

"Huh? Oh, yes. I'm fine." she stood up abruptly trying to hide her face from this embarrassing scene.

He looked at her confused as to why she was rushing. "Oh okay." before he was even able to finish his statement, she was far gone.

He shrugged and walked away.

As soon as she was out of his sight, Eun Ji-young breathed a sigh of relief. "What was that?" she adjusted her glasses and shook her head before walking away.

***

Moon Min-Jae, the man from before went to the parking lot and entered the driver's seat. A quick smile flashed on his face but it disappeared as quickly as it came.

"Did anything special happen?" a voice from the back seat was heard.

Moon Min-jae's brow furrowed. "You know you shouldn't be sitting at the back right? I'm not your driver," he complained but the response he got aggravated him even more.

"For today, your my driver." the light on his tab came on and his face was revealed, Park Jae-jin.
