- Okay. - But let's go eat. - You're not hungry, are you? - Okay, let's go eat. They didn't go eat because Hyun told him she knew how to cook a little. So Kang Ji-ho wanted to know what the food Seo Hyun made tasted like. - Sit down. - This smells delicious. - The food is really good. - I’m glad you like it. - You know, I learned to cook because I liked seeing how much my mother enjoyed it. - I only cook for her and for you... - Thanks for indulging my whims. - You know, Ji-ho, you’re hard to understand, but you’re a really good person. - I don’t think I’m good. - You’re kind of right. Seo Hyun smiled. That same night... - There was a power outage. - - Great... - Seo Hyun looked for her phone. - - Ji-ho, where are you? Silence - Then... a low voice. - I'm here. - Seo Hyun walked toward the living room. - And she saw him. - Ji-ho was sitting on the floor. - In the darkness. - Are you scared? Silence. - Ji-ho hesitated. - ... I don't like this. Hyun sat down beside him. - - It’s just a power outage. - - That’s not it. Pause. - It’s just that... I can’t see. - Hyun looked at him. - Ji-ho squeezed his sleeve. - - I don’t know what to do without being able to see. - That grip... - It wasn’t possessive. - It was vulnerable. - Very vulnerable. - I’m here. - Silence. - Then... Ji-ho spoke in a low voice. - - I’ve never been with anyone. - - What? - I don’t like being touched. - Pause. - Except by you. - The air grew heavy. - - Ji-ho... - - You’re the only one I want. - Silence. - Too much silence. - End of Chapter 20: "If something ever happens... I want it to be you." After all these chapters, I'm going to take a break. Thank you for your understanding.
