Chapter 7 - Her
Unexpected LoveAfter having a quick yet painful shower with my leg leaning on the bathtub frame, I wrapped the big towel around myself and looked at my reflection from the tall mirror that stood in front of the shower. Leo probably thought of me as such a clumsy person. Why on earth of all days I had to fall today?! And in front of him? Aw Jinjja. This is embarrassing. Inhaling a deep breath after taking another looked at my messy self, I called Leo up. He came over and pulled me up as if I was light as a feather. That made me feel so good.
