Ye Sung left the room and went downstairs.

I was left, standing there in confusion.

Maybe he was just happy for me.

I’m so tired, I can’t even think straight!

I should just get some sleep and have done with it…

But first! I need a drink.

I sneaked out my room and downstairs, trying not to attract any attention.

I went through into the kitchen, past the living room.

The tele was on.

Everyone was probably watching that.

As I walked into the kitchen door, I realised I was wrong.

There was Ye Sung and my mother talking.

I heard my name mentioned.

Quickly, I ducked back out the door.

Luckily, neither noticed.

I listened in.

“Are you sure?”I heard my mother ask, doubtful of whatever Ye Sung had said previously.

“I am.”He answered strongly.

My mother turned from him, she was thinking deeply.

I could tell from her facial expressions.

“Do you think she’s ready?”

Ready!? Ready for what!? I though.

“I don’t know, That’s why I’m asking. I won’t do anything against you wish.”

My mother turned back to him and smiled.

She pinched his cheek.

“You’re so cute!”she chuckled.

Then, she sighed.

“Ye Sung, I want whatever makes her happy. And If that is what you say, so be it.”

Ye Sung smiled.

“So, I should talk about it with her?”

My mother nodded.

Ye Sung smiled and did the same. “Okay. Thank you!”

My mother then walked away and continued what she was doing.

I decided this was the perfect time to exit from hiding.

I walked into the kitchen.

Ye Sung shot me a look straight away.

“Hyun Ah, What are you doing up?”

“I just came to get a drink.”

I walked past him and poured myself some water.

After drinking it, I placed the glass in the wash and made my way back.

Ye Sung stopped me.

“Hyun Ah, can I talk to you.”

I looked at him, obliviously.

“Of course!”I said curiously.

“In private?”

I frowned, but accepted it. “Okay.”

Ye Sung led me back up to my room.

He shut the door and stood in front of me as I sat on the bed.

“Hyun Ah, You know…I’ve been here for a while now and I’ll be going home soon…?”

I nodded, with a little sadness.

Loosing Ye Sung’s friendship daily would be painful.

“I want you to come back with me!”

“That’d be great! I’d love to visit Korea again for a little while!”

Ye Sung smiled innocently.

“I was thinking longer then a little while…”

I looked up at him. “How much longer?”
