Roaming around his room she took her time to absorb every little spot, learning about the place he grew up in. 

Very boyish decors with minimal furnishing, just a bed a waredrobe and a study table which has some scribbles on the wooden table. Everything was kinda old but obviously maintained. Since 2015, he has very much moved to Seoul and this room has been kept vacant since then. 

She smiled at that thought, his family must have really loved him. 

This silence was a good time for her to rebalance herself, since morning everything felt like an emotion rollercoaster.

From the moment she was packed into the car, shipped half way across the country, meeting his uncle and then being awkwardly welcomed by the people in his family to him pushing her into his room with a clever excuse that she had to do a touch up before any photo session, there were so many things she wanted to ask and say. 

More of which was, why has he been acting that jittery all these time. 

And why, does his family seemed like they were unaware of their relationship?

Wandering around the space, something else distacted her. The neat line-up of photos along the bedframe which showed the growing years of this man. From baby, to toddler, to junior high.....and this ---

Picking up the last photo frame she paused.

"Hey!" a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"cheos-salang??" She asked, holding onto the frame with a hand and pointing on it with another.

His eyes followed her fingers and did a slight nod, "Obvious huh?"

She smiled, it's a class photo they were looking at but his eyes in the photo were focusing on a girl sitting at the corner. That's him, very predictable.

Taking over the photo frame from her hands, he placed it back to its original position and leaned against the adjoining wall, folding his arms as he begin, "Why did you come along?"

Her headache is back, tilting her head a little showing that she didn't completely understand that question.

He explained, "Why didn't you head back to the hotel first?"

She heaved a sigh, "Do you not like me being here?" 

He was slightly startled at that statement, the morning has definitely taken a toll on her but he had to keep them both rooted "Yes, you shouldn't be here.." 

The air droppped to below freezing point at that very moment.

"Maybe I should leave then?"

He made no response to correct her. She could feel her heart pang. Trying her best to focus on something else in the room other than the heat which was slowly rising up her face she blinked furiously in attempt to keep herself from crying. 

"I'm serious, this isn't a place you should be seen at." He continued after a moment "Imagine what others would say if someone leaked a photo out acci
