Morning came, and the sun brightly lit the small hospital room of Mary’s mother. Mary is deep in her slumber on the small sofa inside. Lucky for her, she’s not that tall and her figure is quite petite so she fits perfectly on the sofa.When the rays of the sun hit her small face, she groaned softly as she slowly opened her eyes. The sun hits her eyes which made them close again.“You are awake.” a low man’s voice said which made Mary open her eyes abruptly. When her vision became clearer, she saw Dr. Han standing near her mother’s bed with a document in his hand. His eyes looked at her with a grin on his lips.This made Mary stand up instantly. Her eyes widened while looking at him. She totally forgot that she just woke up, especially with her current messed-up look. “What… What…”Dr. Han smiled handsomely at her. “I didn’t know that you still looked cute even if you just woke up,” he said in a teasing voice.Mary immediately covered her face when she realized it. She didn’t even wash
“Here, have some fruits, Mavy” Mary placed down a bowl of sliced melons on the table. It’s already been days since Dr. Han and Maverick had been studying inside the hospital room.She could still remember that day when Dr. Han offered to tutor her younger brother for the exam. His reason, he doesn’t want her to be too tired from taking care of her mother.If his brother was here to do the review, instead of doing it in school, he can help her. She didn’t know what to say at that time. She was grateful for his help but also scared. She’s scared of the constant concern Dr. Han was giving her.Unbeknownst to everyone, she liked Dr. Han. From the very first time she saw him, she liked him already. But she didn’t show it nor let everyone know about it.Dr. Han is way above her league. He is a famous doctor while she’s only a personal assistant. She doesn’t want to make things awkward for them that’s why she hid her feelings so well. And as much as possible, she would like to stay far away
A ring on the doorbell broke Hans’s attention. He is currently at his house, in the living room, in particular, reading some documents. “Who would come here this late?” he mumbled.As far as he could remember, he didn’t invite anyone to come over, and also, no one informed him that someone would come to visit.The ringing didn’t stop so he stood up from his seat and walked toward the door. Curious as to whom the person outside is. Aside from his family, only Jonathan, Louisse, and Everly knew of his address.Jonathan is currently in the suburbs, his family is abroad, while Everly was having some work abroad as well. This must be Louisse, that’s what he thought.But surprise and delight flashed on his face as soon as he opened the door. “Surprise! I’m back!” Everly said cheerfully!
“This is my first time seeing that movie. It’s not that bad compared to what I thought.” Hans commented and took a sip of red wine.They are sitting inside the open tent. There’s a soft quilt to shield them from the cold. Soft pillows were scattered around the tent to keep them comfortable.In front of them, a large white monitor is placed. The movie playing is currently about two best friends who were separated by time. And after several years, they unexpectedly met again and eventually became lovers. However, due to the complications in their past, it was hard for them to live happily in each other’s arms.Everly glanced at him who was so focused on the movie. “I bet you haven’t seen any movie in your entire life.”“Hey, I did watch a movie before.” he retorted, “The title of that movie was&hel
Rain hardly poured down in the sky. Trees swayed with the harsh wind breeze. The darkness of the sky brightened due to the thunder disrupting the peace of the surrounding. The loud lightning echoed in every corner of the city.Inside Dr. Lee’s house, in his bedroom, Everly lay asleep. Beside her is Hans, whose arms were wrapped around her body as she lay on his chest comfortably.As the lightning resounded inside the room, Everly sweated profusely. Her breathing hardened and she moved restlessly in the bed. Her heart pounding so hard, as loud and hard as the lightning outside.Another loud rumble from the sky caused Everly to woke up abruptly, rattled and terrified. Hans noticed her movements which woke him up. There he saw Everly sitting on the bed, shaking in fear while her head lowered down.He immediately sat up and hugged her, calming her. “Wha
On the other side of the city, inside Director Jackson’s office, Manager Kim and he were sitting opposite to each other. Working for the whole night. Ever since they arrived in the city, after sending Everly to Dr. Lee’s house, she hurriedly went to the office.There are a lot of documents and work she needed to do. Fortunately, Director Jackson is there to help her. “You seem much busier than usual Manager Kim? Where’s Manager Song by the way?”“I don’t know. She said there was an emergency on her end so she left all these works to me. There are even problems she created because of her negligence that’s why, I’m here, working overtime to solve them.”“What did you mean?”“There are schedules that were changed abruptly that sometimes cause Everly to be late or will overlap with her ot
Earlier the next day, Tyron asked around to find the apartment complex owned by Principal Voltaire. After a few turns, he finally saw a 3rd-floor building. The building itself showed how old it is. From its style and also the paintings that came from the walls.However, no matter how unfurnished the building is, a lot of people are still choosing to stay in this building. According to the locals, it’s the most comfortable apartment to live in compared to the rest of the apartments in the village.It has a soft mattress, is fully air-conditioned, and has a fast internet connection. The building also had its own electric generator, so it’s very rare for a building to lose electricity.Principal Voltaire is an old woman who lives on the topmost floor of the building. She didn’t have any family members and remained unmarried until her old age. She is also one of the people who has lived the longest in the village.As Tyron entered the buildi
“Here, these are the pictures we took during those events. It’s pretty hard to capture a photo with Iris. She never liked taking a photo, no matter how we convince her, she wouldn’t do it.” Principal Voltaire said while showing Tyron the pictures she had been keeping for a long time.All those photos are all stolen shots of Iris. There’s a photo of her playing an instrument on stage, there’s also her playing with the children, and there’s another where she was reading a book.All those were stolen and were too very far. There are no close-up shots at all. Tyron focused his eyes on the woman in the photo. Although it’s not taken up close, he can still see her face visibly.She had the same face as Everly Park. Regardless of the view, and the angle, they are so much the same. Even the way she smiled, it’s how Everly smiled as well.“How old was she when she arrived here?” Tyron asked after he
