Serenity in the Moonlight

YOUMIN

"I'm sorry."

He looks shaken. After that man had left, he'd instantly dropped his gun and had made me stand— scanning my entire body for wounds.

He looks more shaken than I've ever seen him.

"Uh— I'm okay." I murmur, shifting on my feet. "You got me. He didn't do anything else."

"You don't understand."

I frown, confused.

"What?"

"You don't understand." He repeats, getting to his feet. "He's a damn psychopath that doesn't give up until he gets what he wants."

"And he wants you."

I blink.

"Come inside." He says, voice forceful. "I'm not letting you out of my sight anymore. I was stupid to do that."

"Who was he?"

His lips tighten.

"Someone we've been trying to get rid of for a long time." He says, voice low in his throat.

I want to ask more.

But it feels dangerous to push.
