“ .    .    .  you ready “ hyeon zipped her jacket and shouted from the living room , keys .   .  Wallet .     .   Incase it rain umbrella all check .

       “ .    .      .   Yeah “ putting on his jacket, that was neatly folded and placed on the table next to the bed , jae walked out of the bedroom .

     “ .    .    .  I made you coffee while you took a shower “ she passed his the coffee mug .  It took her the whole 10 minutes or so to make the coffee twice, it has to taste its best for jae . Who took thebottole out of her hands scanning the packaging before even wondering whose it is .

      “ .   .    .  It's mine and i washed it three time just to make sure .   .   “ noticing his eyes glaring at the mug she immediately assumed his addition to cleanliness , while the coffee was boiling she has washed and washed the mug more than 5 times .

       “ .   .   .  Do we really have to go there   why don't we just order  it “ jae complained again . He clearly doesn't even wanna step out of this house , which by the way he is not even gonna comment or assess. He needs to check how much she's getting payed to still be living in this place which all together is not even as big as one of his living rooms

       How can she be living in this place .   .     .  How can she be living here while she works for the general manager of jk  .    .   .  Or even when she dating the heir of it . How can she be living here.  As long as it doesn't have a sentimental value this is a no - no.

    “ .    .    .  They don't deliver and there is something i wanna show you too “ she smiled as she started walking to the door . Jae followed behind as he opened the mug and took a sniff before taking a sip .  The strong smell was enough to wake him up though  .   .    .  She might be a great barista since the smell by it self is to dye for .

     “ .    .   .  It looks like it's gonna rain “ she held the door open as she glances up at the dark sky , which for the last week has rained heavily and non stop and from the looks of it , it looks like today is not gonna be any different either .

        “ .    .    . Let's just hope it doesn't rain until we finish eating “ she locked the door and led the way , a couple of walks straight ahead then down the stairs.

      “ .   .    .   Thank you for the coffee “ jae said from behind , missing the big smile on hyeon's face as she  his gratitude . No matter how trivial and small even getting appreciated and knowing that he liked something she did placing a smile on her face and sending in those tingly feelings that could just change her mood in seconds.

             This is coffee. Jae took another sip , the cold weather added to the noisy town his walking down too  jae couldn't help but freeze frame this moment and bury it deep inside his memory box .

      “ .    .    .  It about 5 minutes if we take a shortcut but we can walk through the city if you want “ hyeon asked placing her hands in her jacket's pocket .   .   .  Praying for second that he would wanna walk across the city . Even Though she doesn't wanna acknowledge it , she wants to walk down the road she has for the most part been running around alone . Now having jae next to her every second of it could be worthed even if they crawl as slow as possible to the restaurant.

        “ .   .    .   I like the weather go the long way “ jae lied as the cold air brushes against his wet hair .   .    He's definitely bound to get sick because of it and it didn't also help his headache that has stopped when his brain was to occupied getting clouded as she kissed everything away .. but the hangover and headache all rece she halted their kiss and forced him into the shower , convincing him that she will make him the best coffee yet .

     Not surprising to find herself about to lose control if his kisses have went on hyeon had to part them .   .  She needs her sanity and he needs to eat .  Unless he has somewhere to be she has cleared her day to stay with him and pretty sure she has a lot of time to get back to it all .  Having sent eun bi and sung to visit their mother yesterday and  called of work from the meeting today.   .   .  She has cleared schedule up , she needs all the time she gets to spend with jae so she could know him better and get rid of her fears.

        There first couple of minutes of walking was silent as both just kept their eyes on the road .  Jae astounded at how much cramped up and small even the road is . From tge loud car horns to the people talking the music spatting out of the advertisements , it's a crowded place not just with people but with sounds and the smell the scaremes out every restaurant and street vendor .  Everything jae's eyes land on leaving him more astonished than before.

   Knowing he’s probably being blown away hyeon walked along him quietly giving him all the space he needs to scan and capture his surrounding .

         “ .     .    .  Hyeona , how are you “ the lady standing by the hair salon shouted out waving her hands at hyeon.

“ .   .   . Oh anyonghaseyo .    .   ,  am fine how are you “ hyeon gave a small bow . Jae following her legs stopped his walking and focused his eyes on hyeon as she ,w ith a big smile on her face chats with the lady . He knows how many people she knows in this neighbourhood which is apparently everybody . The last time he was here he was forced to stop every minute as hyeon greats everybody .  .  No wonder she fought that hard for these people . This is her town.

          “ .   .  . Let's go “ she started walking again .

“ .   .    .  Were you born here ?” jae asked taking a sip of his coffee as he followed along .

   “ .   .   .  No but i lived here since i was like 10 “ she gave his sharp eyes something to look at as she flashed a sweet quick smile .  Which are becoming a small sweet treat to jae .

     “ .   .    .  Every memory i have of growing up is in these streets “ she turned her eyes to the road . From the running around playing tag at middle school to following around the boys her friends use to have a crush on to walking it alone while in college .   .  .  Every memory does infact has a thing or two to do with these streets.

     “ .     .    . I use to walk up this road when i was in highschool .   .   .  It will be filled with kids in uniforms around 5 .   .    .  “ she could still see it all as clear as ever.

    “ .    .     .  Most will be walking with groups running around the street vendors who will be out selling quick snacks     .    .     “

    “ .    .   .  That theater will be filled with students .  . Tickets are cheap for highschool kids “ she pointed at the worn out door that are surrounded by movie posters .  

    “ .    .    .  I have so many memories in there “ she giggled .  .  All of it coming in at once . The theater has been her hide out when  her mom is chasing her or she had a fight with her .   .  It's where she would pay a dollar and sit and watch movies to escape the messy situations she was in.  It was her secret safe heaven .

      “ .   .   .  Like what ?” jae asked intrigued by her smile and small giggles , it seems like she has more than a couple of good memories in this place. She went on smiling her eyes glaring at the distant .   .   .  She needs a second or two to remence for all of them before she picks a few and tells jae.

     “ .    .    .   When ever i have a fight with my mom , which is always since i don't listen , i would come here for the most part getting in for free since i use to work here on weekends and the people knew me .    .    “ she brushed her hair back

     “ .   .    .  I use to sit in the back seat my feet up on the front one and sit for hours till it gets dark watching whatever movies they have on .    .     .  Nobody ever knew i was here” her smiles are just too much.

    “ .    .    .  I think my mom thought i was at the library “ she glanced jaes way.

      “ .   .    . This is where i use to hide out if i was ever in a fight with kids from school too .   .   .   “ even jae can't help but smile at that one . Picturing her in her school uniforms he has seen a couple of kids wearing , running around from kids that are chasing her . But knowing her feisty personality it's no surprise that she would beat up people . For a second feeling proud and happy that she's that feisty before his checks send a quick memory signal as to her sharp slap that have attacked them once.

      “ .   .    .  I use to meet my first boyfriend in there too “ she went on glancing jaes way .  .  .missing the quick second it took for his smile to pause .

      “ .    .   .  My mom would have killed me of she had known about it so we use to meet there “ she added not even aware how the topic might be a little bit off putting to jae , who didn't even blink for a second to witness her glee full eyes and smile as she talks about her first boyfriend.

      “ .    .    .   He use to be so quit just like you

but once we started hanging out he was the one talking for the most part “ her smiles which always use to make him happy are starting to annoy him.

        “ .    .     .   He was just so .   .   .  “ no matter how eagerly jae waited for her words she didn't say anything .   .   .  Making jae even more annoyed that she is this thoughtlessly thinking about whoever it was.

        “ .   .    .   How many of his type do i need to hear about “ no matter how carefully he framed his sentence his annoyance and anger did show up .

         Hyeon a little bit startled as he brushed off her side a fastened his walking too a second to wonder what she must have said  and why he would be getting upset all of a sudden.   

   It didn't take long till she figured it out though and ran the two steps he walked away from  her .

   “ .   .   .  Are you upset that i was talking about my first boyfriend “ her gleeful face just adds more to his frustration.

 “ .    .    .  Is that it?  .   .   Seriously?” she glared her eyes at jae which are trying to avoid her by looking at the road ahead .  ,  blocking his view hyeon moved every directions his eyes turned too .       .     .  Hia jealous .    .   , this is ridiculous she smoked on . How can he be jealous of that

     “ .    .    .  You don't want me to talk about him , is that it “ holding in her laughed she asked leaning down and catching his eyes that he sent to the floor. Jae didn't say anything .

     “ .   .   .   Hahah “ she can't hold it in any longer  .   .   . How did he even handel when he knew about lay and her , if her first boyfriend is making him this mad .  .  He probably would have like a word or two with lay if he wasn't his brother.

      “ .   .   .  I don't like your angry face .   .  Its very scary “ she somehow dug her right hand into the space between his left arm and his side that was open as his hands stayed in his pocket . ¥one of the things she always wanted to do .   .   .  From the many movies that have made her have certain expectations when she gets a boyfriend is putting her arms across his and walking down this road in a gummy cold day .

      “ .    .   .  But cute at the same time .   .  .  “ she squeezed her arm tighter to close the distance between them.   Forget the jealous or the man she was blabbing about .   .   .  Did hyeon just yet her arms across his .    Did she take  some medication or is she possessed .   .  Jae’s sharp eyes glared at her ,   he can't seem to figure it out .

  Did she have some kind of epiphany last night .   .  . He knows once he blacks out that's it for him so he couldn't have said or done anything to change her like this .   .  Even his confession did not had that much effect on her.

      “ .    .    .  Don't stare at me like that “ hyeon brought her left hand out of her pocket and gently turned his face towards the road .  She knows what he's thinking .   .   .  Even she is too shocked and startled by her own actions but she has promised herself to make the effort .

   She has spent most of the night staring at his asleep face wondering what to do and how to get through her fears .   .   .  Her fears of commitment .   .  Her fears of letting someone in .   .   .  Her fears of letting herself desire for him .   .  To hear his voice .   .  To hold him .   .  To kiss him .   .  How ever when ever she wants to .
