[Heechul's Pov]

I did what he asked me to do. I stayed still inside the room and observing every corner of it. I need a clock—I couldn't see outside and felt like I was in a prison. I couldn't even see the sun, moon, sky and even stars. I need to come up with a plan and get the hell out of here. 

“You listened. I told you once you did, I'd let you eat.” He said, smiling and holding a tray of food on his hand.

“I'm hungry.” I said, sitting up properly and laid my eyes on him. Jungsoo approached me and placed the food in front of me. 

“Here's your dinner.” Jungsoo said as he stood up in front of me, waiting for me to taste his food. I hesitated a bit! What if this er is planning something and trying to poison me? 

“...”

“Eat.” He ordered and I only stared at him. 

“Are you also trying to kill me?” I whispered, biting my lower lip but then he chuckled. This crazy !!

“Why would you think that way? I worked hard for this, to have you and you thought I'd kill you? Heechul, I want you so why would I do that?” Jungsoo explained.

“...”

“If you don't really believe, I'll try it first.” Jungsoo said, bending down as he took the spoon and fed himself. 

“See, there's nothing on it.” Jungsoo added. After making sure it wasn't poisonous, I started to eat and ignore his presence. He said it was already dinner time. 

“Jungsoo..” 

“What?”

“Can you bring me a clock? I don't know what time it is so I badly need it.” I begged.

“If only you behave.” 

This ! He's really testing my patience!! I could jump on him and strangle him at this very moment but again, it seems like he's too strong to handle and maybe I finally found my match? 

“I will.” I said, continue to eat. After I finished the food he brought, he picked up the tray and left me alone. Since I have nothing to do, I wandered around the room and studied all my pictures.

There were also a picture where I and Mr. Choi were on date, the day we've accidentally saw each other, secret snaps while I was on duty and when I was walking home alone. He even put the date and he has been following me almost every day. I checked the dates and found the date when he first saw me.

“Why I don't remember anything from that day?” I whispered, playing with my fingers.

I was right! He fell first before I did. Based on my pictures, it seems like his feelings bloomed the first time he went to our shop. I removed the picture from the wall and examined it carefully.  As I flipped it, I saw a note.
