Relief is what Leo felt when he found her, but was automatically engulf by rage when he saw a pair of hands on Eelise’s and with a begging face asking to be rescued, that’s when he quicken his pace toward her. “Get your ing hands off of her,” he said angrily to the guy. “She ain’t your girl man so back off and look for your own,” the guy retorted back that only toughen the hold on Eelise who’s trying to escape and was now more scared and worried. Balling his fist with now a fury face, raise his hand and punch the guy just to land right on his face that he let go of Eelise just to catch himself from falling. “Well this’s my girl that you’ve just harassed so instead of me, YOU find your own” he bellowed while approaching the guy who’s now trying to regain some lost strength from his hard punch, as on the other hand Eelise felt the chill running up in her body as she heard him say ‘my girl’, as he was about to put an another punch, Eelise’s small hands stop him from advancing some more step and the guy who’s now standing up had manage to lost himself in the crowd, away from him. “,” Leo whispered to himself but was enough to be heard by her, turning to her who’s now a little relieved ask her if she’s okay but was only answered by a slight nod. “You shouldn’t have stopped me, that guy deserves more than a punch” he said slightly annoyed by stopping him from punching the guy. “You’ve just gave him one, and that was enough to let go of me, you even scared him away. And thank you for finding me and for the help.” She said sincerely half smiling, and unknowingly it lessens his anger. He realized that he’s still holding her wrist and that’s when he let it go. “You’re welcome, you’re just lucky I followed you when I realize that you’re going in a wrong way and that you’re new here. You should be more careful around this place; a lot of people here are dangerous for a girl like you who is innocent about this kind of place.” Leo said while staring at her who’s now absorbed by her innocent look, and now that his close to her being light up only by the flickering of the inside party light he saw the confusion, how fragile she is for a place like this that he just wanted to protect her, the curves of her lips when she’s nervous, the perfectness of her nose matching the beauty she possess, the sweet intoxicating smell she hold dominating the stench he smelled ever since he entered this place but now all he had was her smell that’s too sweet complementing her innocence, even just for a quick moment you can feel the softness of her skin that surely would captivate any guy that pass by her even just for a small- “I get it, okay? You don’t have to caution like you were my dad and I already regretted it. So tell me where this bathroom is.” Eelise interfere cutting Leo’s reverie. “This way,” Leo answered and went without looking back just to cover his irritated look. They never talk or even share a glance from each other after the incident and the awkwardness only intensifies the longer they were together. Eelise only thought that the people would give some greater consideration to offer them space for them to walk on or for the ground to just swallow her up. “Don’t worry were almost there,” Leo reassured as if hearing her thought. When Leo looks back at her that’s when he saw the discomfort she’s having in, and as out of the blue he grabs her hand and push the people out of the way harder as if they were chased by something ominous. Eelise who was caught off guard by his the sudden action yelp and didn’t resist anymore. Eelise can feel how electrifying his hold is and she just wishes that he’ll not let go of her if just for now she’ll be selfish but who can she blame when they were already close to where their friend is. Eelise cursed herself silently for thinking such absurd idea. Seeing her friend from afar she can only decipher that she’s celebrating for the view coming closer to them, and Eelise only wish for Jiyeon to never utter a single non-sense word, but of course that’s Jiyeon her friend who love on messing her.
