"Ahm."Rayan turned his face to his daughter when she cleared her throat. He was sitting on the couch, she was sitting on his lap, watching Tv. But he was not watching Tv, he was watching Crystal's every move who was now watering the trees in the garden. Who water plants at night? For an hour?After the incident in the garden, Crystal told him to sit inside with Anne. He and Anne were sitting there for almost one hour.Rayan had learned so many things about his daughter. Anne hates cockroaches, her favourite colour is yellow. Her best friend is Kyungsoo etc."Anne, speak it out. Don't keep it inside your stomach." He understood Anne has something to tell him, she was taking glances at him."Worried?" Anne asked him while watching the TV, not giving him full attention, trying to intimate her mother who was also ignoring him. But she noticed her mother stole many glances at him.Rayan
Crystal creased her brows and looked back. So It's Rayan. What did he want now? She titled her head. "What?"Rayan made puppy eyes before pointing the space beside him on the couch. "Sit here. Let's watch this movie together." He whispered, trying not to break Anne's concentration on the Tv screen.Crystal tried to break her hand free from his grip, but her strength was no match with his."I know you're still angry with me. So am I." Hearing that Crystal frowned. Why was he angry? Rayan stole a glance at Anne before looking at Crystal again. "But. We're not angry with her, right? Why must she suffer?"Crystal's heart started melting. This guy really knows how to melt her heart.Inhaling a soft breath, Rayan continued. "She will be happy if we watch it together. I know you don't watch horror movies. You don't have to watch it. Sit here." He buttered her.Crystal glared at him. "Relea
The glowing and radiant sun was peaking above the horizon out of the window. It extended its vivid light across the deep crimson sky. Its dazzling and inviting rays flowed through the window providing warmth to Crystal's body. A unique, unusual warmth.Crystal felt a slight pain in her back and throat. Crystal opened her eyes from peaceful sleep due to the pain. Her vision was still blurry, she blinked to clear it. She was leaning on something, something warm. Why did it feel like a muscle?Her eyes got widened as she realized she was in the living room. She gulped and looked at the person beside him. Thank God he was sleeping. She quickly moved her head from his shoulder and sat away from him.Why was she here? Why are they sleeping here on the couch? Where is Anne? Why didn't she wake her up?Her brows furrowed when she struggled in the movement of her throat. She was sleeping like this, that's why her throat hurt
"How is Somin?"Rayan tilted his head and narrowed his gaze at Alex who was not looking at him. It's suspicious. "And now I'm sure you two know each other from before."Hearing that, Alex frowned at him. "How is that connected? I just asked how is she doing! Because... Because she is your finance."His last word was like a hammer on Rayan's head. Finance? That's right. He almost forgot about it. His father already fixed everything with Somin. But he needs to stop him, anyhow. He'll not marry her.Taking a deep breath, Rayan shook his head. "I'll...""dad Water." Rayan stopped when Anne came with a glass of water, giving it to him.Rayan smiled heartily and took the glass from her hand. Though he was not thirsty, he is thirsty now by remembering his father. "Thank you, Princess.""Anytime. dad." Anne said sweetly and walked him towards the couch where Alex was sittin
Anne was very quiet when they were having breakfast. Alex was sitting on the chair opposite of Rayan's chair.Anne felt like Alex and Rayan were glaring at each other all the time. They are like tom and jerry.Rayan glanced at Alex sharply who was also looking at him. Alex's eyes got widened as he took the knife from the table. The knife looked sharp and pointing at him. Will he really stab me with that?Before he could do or say anything, Rayan placed the knife on the omelet of his plate, separated the egg yolk from the omelet. Alex let out a relieved breath. Thank God!Rayan's facial expression turned into a sweet one when he turned his face to Anne and put the egg yolk down on Anne's plate. "I don't like egg yolk. You said you like egg yolk." He said."Thank you, dad." A soft smile spread across Anne's face. Yes, she did. Yesterday he asked about her likes and dislikes. Giving you the food you li
7 years ago..."Rayan. Tomorrow is my first day at university. I'm really excited."Rayan let out a soft chuckle and looked at his girlfriend who was sitting beside him in the restaurant, really excited. "I'll drive you there tomorrow," Rayan said as he took something out from his pocket.Crystal glanced at his hand before parting her lips to talk. "What's that?" She asked pointing the box in his hand."Close your eyes." As Rayan said that, Crystal closed her eyes obediently. Rayan took a glance at the locket and then at Crystal, observing the perfect woman beside him. What so great he did in the past that he was rewarded with her? He wandered. A soft smile curled his lips.Crystal wasn't understanding what he was doing. Suddenly she felt him near her. Her heart started beating fast as he leaned closer and felt his warm breath.He took the locket out of the box and carefully fastened it around her neck. Just like he'd imagined himself doing when he bought it. He ran his fingertips alon
7 Years ago...."Nick. I'm sorry. For me, Sunbin left you." Without looking at Nick, Rayan took sips of the whiskey bottle. He didn't understand what happening today, he is drinking the third bottle but no sign of sleep.He wanted to sleep because the pain his heart was having now is unbearable. He didn't want to think about anything. He just wanted to think that everything will be fine tomorrow. But when you don't want to think about anything, nature will force you to think about everything.Nick chuckled and shook his head. "It's not for you dude. It's for us. We make deal with everything. Everything is not business. We forgot that."Rayan didn't hear anything, his brain was fighting with his heart. His heart was wrecking inside him. His brain was telling him it's alright, but his heart telling him the opposite.She'll never forgive me. In these three years, as much as I recognize her, she will no
"So he cheated on you?" Yejin looked at Crystal with disbelief after hearing everything she said.Crystal shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I'm still not sure if he did or not. But... I just think... Back then, I was too emotional because of my age. If I think about it now...""Then What?" Yejin looked at her curiously.Crystal leaned closer to her. "Can I be honest?" As Yejin nodded, she smiled. "I was waiting for him to come back to me.""He didn't? He is now coming back to you."Crystal heaved a deep sigh. "After seven years? It's been seven years, girl. My heart. It is dead.""Don't worry he'll make it alive. With his love dose as a life support." Yejin smiled cheekily. As Crystal didn't reply, she grinned and stood up. "Don't shy. I'll talk with you later huh?" When Crystal nodded, she left.After some time, Mickhel knocked on the door, as he came in, he g
