บท 43: Relent
Ray looked up surprised. He didn't expect that she would open up to him.
Ray: (softly) why?
Ye-Jin: She got to know about my family and us from a third-person so-
Ray: (frowning) third person?
Ye-Jin: (nodding) She was with me when I went to meet big-sis yesterday.
Ray: Oh! but how did that lead you both to fall out?
Ye-Jin: she didn't know anything about me. It was a huge shock to her. She feels hurt and betrayed.
At the end of her sentence, Ye-Jin's voice became quieter. It was clear that she was blaming herself for the whole misunderstanding and Ray didn't have a clue as to how he was going to console her. He was thinking hard to come up with some idea but his thoughts were interrupted
Ye-Jin: (faintly smiling) It's ok, I'll be fine. I'll eventually sort things out with her.
Ray: (nodding) ok. if you need any help then I am here.
Ye-Jin didn't say anything and only nodded at his assurance. She didn't speak further and concentrated on finishing up her food. On the other hand, ray had somewhat lost his appetite. He wasn't feeling good knowing that she was hurting and was pretending to be optimistic for his sake. He just wanted to see her smile genuinely once again. He couldn't digest her solemn face anymore. Moreover, her appearance earlier had almost scared him.
He decided to relent to her longtime request at that moment as he was definite that it would actually make her smile for real. Even though he knew that he was going to take a big risk by doing this he couldn't think of any other plan god enough to cheer her up.
Ray: (firmly) Get up early tomorrow I'll take you out someplace nice.
Ye-Jin was stunned by the sudden firmness of his voice. He rarely used that tone with her. He was clearly unwilling but determined about something.
Ye-Jin: (shaking her head) I am alright you don't have to-
Ray: (smiling) I am not asking you, sweetie. I am telling you.
Ye-Jin was speechless once again. She never knew that he could be that domineering with only a few words. With no reason or way to refute she simply nodded showing her acquiesce.
Ray didn't linger around much around her house after finishing the noodle-meal. He ordered her to sleep early and be ready by six the next morning before bidding her goodbye.
If he was to carry out his plan tomorrow then he had to make many prior preparations for the whole night.
