Chapter 41: Scene
As promised before Ray parked his car in front of Ye-Jin's house at seven in the evening. Even though he had come back with the others his car which he had been driving from the last night was brought back by one of their assistants.
After parking the vehicle he didn't immediately get down from it but instead he first took out his phone and sent a text to Ye-Jin
'Ray: are you home?'
He didn't get a reply immediately as he usually did. After some amount of time had passed and he was about to lose his patience did she text him back.
'Ye-Jin: Yes I am napping.'
He heaved a sigh of relief because Ye-Jin was alright. He didn't waste any time and within seconds he was knocking on her door. When the door opened his jaw uncontrollably dropped to the floor in shock.
Ye-Jin was a scene to the eyes. Not in a pleasant way though. She looked as if she had recently jumped out from the history books looking like a pre-historic human being. Her hairs were frizzy and all over the place- some even were even pointing upwards like a mobile tower. Her eyes were swollen and they were barely open. She was practically half asleep and thus her mouth was somewhat open and if looked at carefully then there was a trail of drool at the side of her mouth. Let's not talk about her clothes- who am I kidding? Her clothes were wrinkled and her pant was folded on one leg and the other leg was fully covered.
Ray: (amazed) did- did you sleep whole day?
Y-Jin: (drowsily nodding) mhmm-
She didn't wait for him to ask anything else and turned back and walked inside. He too followed suit after a beat and in the living room, he saw her sprawled on the couch trying to sleep again.
Seeing her being like this Ray was getting angry. She wouldn't have been in this state first of all if she hadn't drunk barrels together of alcohol last night.
Ray: (glowering at her) get up!
Ye-Jin: (peeking at him) I don't feel like it.
Ray didn't waste another second and he just bent down to carry her in his arms. Ye-Jin was startled by his rough actions and she was so shocked that she couldn't gather her senses until he threw her unceremoniously into her bathtub filled with hot water.
Ye-Jin shrieked at the sudden free fall but she wasn't thrown from such height which would have wounded her.
Ye-Jin: (glaring at him) ugh!
Raay: (smirking) this serves you better and you'll not escape this easily if you pull yesterdays stunt ever again. Wash up, I'll be outside.
Saying so he didn't loiter around and just went back to the living room.

Sanchi94 I've been feeling a little unwell lately so I skipped updating yesterday.
Sorry for the delay :)
Chapter 42: Worried
Ye-Jin came out of the bathroom after finishing her bath. Somehow she felt much better after the hot bath and her drowsiness was almost gone. She stood fidgeting at the door of the bathroom unsure about how she should approach Ray, who by the sounds was currently in the kitchen.
Ye-Jin was unsure about facing Ray after what happened last night. He had obviously seen her at her lowest and was for reasons unknown to her was upset with her.
Ray came out of the kitchen and he immediately caught Ye-Jin zoning out- standing half-in and half-out of the bathroom.
Ray: (raising a brow) are you sleeping with your eyes open?
Ye-Jin snapped out of her reverie when she heard his voice.
Ye-Jin: umm...
Ray: (chuckling) come on, let's eat.
Ye-Jin: (surprised but still not moving) did you cook?
Ray: (shrugging) not exactly, you'll see.
Saying so he didn't wait for her but quietly turned around and went back the same way he had come from. Ye-Jin's stomach growled in protest and she too meekly followed him inside. When she saw what he had prepared she was surprised.
Ye-Jin: (in a low voice) so you can't cook-
The house was silent so ray could clearly hear her soft whisper. His brows furrowed at the criticism.
Ray: I can't cook much but I was hungry and thought you'd be too. So, when I found noodles lying around in the house I just-
Ye-Jin: (nodding fiercely) yes! yes! It looks delicious! I am hungry, so let's dig in.
Ye-Jin didn't wait for him and literally pounced on her bowl of steaming noodles. She was glad that she could avoid the impending 'talk' for some more time. Ray only shook his and smiling at her cute little antics.
Halfway through their meal, Ray looked up at her and curiously asked the question which had been burning in his mind from the previous night.
Ray: (carefully) what happened yesterday?
Ye-Jin paused in between and looked at him with her wide eyes. She didn't expect him to be this direct. For a few seconds, she blinked at him owlishly.
Ray: (sighing) I was worried about you.
He didn't say anything else after that and quietly hung his head down. Last night when he walked through those dark alleys only he knew how terrified he had been for her and how many nasty and dark thoughts had run through his mind. But that didn't mean he had any right to force her to tell him something which she clearly wasn't willing to share with anyone.
On the other hand, Ye-Jin's face crumpled looking at his hung head. She took a deep breath before opening her mouth again.
Ye-Jin: I had a fall out with Aera.
