WESTIN.
5 PM.
"You don't have to wait for me. I'll call a cab when I'm done." Hei-Ran tried to convince Jin-Hai for the umpteenth time when he remained adamant about waiting for her while she met with Dan-Han at A-Yeong's place as planned.
"And I said, I'll wait for you right here." He firmly repeated.
Hei-Ran silently stared at him as she pondered on what else to say to him — anything to convince him that she was truly going to be fine, but seeing the stubborn and unyielding look on his face, she resignedly sighed. There was no stopping him, was there?
She unstrapped her seat belt and leaned over to drop a feathery kiss on his cheek. "I'll be back before you know it." She told him.
"Take your time. I'll be right here." He smiled and kissed her back, but not on her cheeks as she had done. Her lips were better.
