Anna didn't wait for too long before Ji Hoon controlled his ragged emotions and came back. His face told her he was slightly better, but not that well.
"Sorry for that," he slowly said in apology, "I didn't want you to be pressured by my… feelings."
"Don't say that," she slowly extended her hand and touched his face. She felt his body slightly shiver and swore to see a shadow of tears looming in his both reddened eyes in response to her soft touch.
Ji Hoon didn't stand there for another second before he moved, grabbed her body from the waist and held her deeply in his embrace.
He wanted to keep himself like this and cry, cry for as long it might take to soothe his pain and make his heart calmer.
But he knew he might stay like this forever and wouldn't feel enough. He felt Anna was the one he missed in his life, the missing pillar that he could lean upon and feel like home again.
