Chapter 8

Maybe, that was one of the reasons why it always pained her to watch the sunrise then. Until now.

He was ready to forget the pain he felt when he loved Nathan. In the first place, it was not a sin then. He crossed the line of their friendship. It did not make him love, it did not make him dependent. He is the reason why he n asaktan. Now, he can face Nathan because his heart has forgotten him for a long time. All that was left was the look he had devoted to it as a friend. Other than that, she could say that it’s all in the past now.

He was caught in the opposite heart as if someone had stepped on it. He just shrugged it off and turned to Nathan with a smile.

If it used to be flat, it has changed a lot now. Lanky was the right term that fitted him. If he is old enough, such figures are popular in Korea — the lanky types. They were everywhere, from models up to dancers. If the man used to be slender, now his body is fit. Not too hard and not the gay-soft-kind. Its hairstyle is the typical Korean hairstyle — long in the back and with bangs.

Looking at him right now, she realized that he changed and hadn’t changed at all. It was as if she’s looking at the old Nathan — the better and much matured Nathan.

When he caught her looking at it he averted his eyes from it. For Pete’s sake! He looks like he's still blushing!

When else did he learn to blush ?!

“Let's go to the rest house? It's too dark, eh. ”

Smiling he nodded at Nathan's question. It took his suitcase. Because he was holding his suitcase, he and Nathan's hands were slightly touching. He was shortened as if he felt something strange by simply touching their palm.

She looked at her hands and was inspecting it closely. The last time she felt this certain feeling was when she’s still the naïve and foolish Fredelyn seven years ago. Why is he feeling this again now?

“Guard your heart if you don’t want to be hurt again, Lyn. But don’t be rash. Observe the happenings around you. ”

He was even surprised to hear Vincent's weak language. When she looked at the man she was looking at him seriously. But behind the seriousness on his eyes, she saw the pain hidden in them — the pain that she saw in her own years ago.

He looked at Nathan as if he had not heard what Vincent had said. He was shaken. There’s no way she could fall in love with him after all the pain she felt seven years ago.

Right?

Lyn stopped at the kitchen door when she saw the figure facing the stove. He leaned against the door jamb and watched Nathan cook. Even before that, he was really smarter and better at cooking compared to him. When she is at the man's house, she will inevitably cook for him. Since he almost set fire to their house when he tried to cook it, it has not brought him closer to the kitchen.

He told her that cooking soothes him. It’s fun to think that’s one of those things that hasn’t changed in men. That despite the changes that had happened to him, the one attribute that she liked best to him doesn’t change.
