Daisy Flower In Winter

Chapter 22's

Hyun-ri is too focused and dissolved in thoughts that are raging due to the sad and disappointed look of Hwan-ki's eyes. He even forgot if he came to the party with Seok Gwan.

"Why are you staying here, kitten?" seo Yoon asks Hyun-ri who is silent at the other table.

"Oh, oppa. I'm sorry I'm a little thirsty so I'm taking a drink at the table here" Hyun-ri lies

"Ah, so? Then, where's Hwan-ki? You were left alone?"

"Hwan-ki oppa is meeting with Mr. Kang. Might want to discuss business" Hyun-ri replies and is only nodded by Seo Yoon.

"Oppa, where's Seok Gwan oppa?" hyun-ri asks because she did not see Seok Gwan with Seo Yoon.

"Either" Seo Yoon replied briefly.

"He's not saying goodbye to you?"

"Hm, you know he's the coldest guy between me and Hwan-ki. So yeah, he just left" Seo Yoon explained.

"Alright oppa. I'll call him first"

"Hm, don't go too far!!"

"Yes oppa. You're overdoing it" Hyun-ri replied with a puff and only got a shoulder shot by Seo Yoon.

*****

Hyun-ri moves away from the party crowd to try to contact Seok Gwan.

Ruth.tuth...

Ringing calls are connected, but Seok Gwan doesn't answer Hyun-ri's calls.

"You called me?" seok Gwan says suddenly from behind Hyun-ri.

Hyun-ri who heard Seok Gwan's voice turned her body with the phone still attached to her ear.

"Opa!!" Call Hyun-ri while turning off her call and saving her phone back.

"Where are you from? Why don't you go away?" ask Hyun-ri.

Grep...

Seok Gwan doesn't answer Hyun-ri's questions. She hugs Hyun-ri tightly, as if she is afraid that Hyun-ri will disappear from her presence.

"Oppa, what's wrong with you? What if someone sees us?"

"Let it be like this first, I beg you" replied Seok Gwan further tightening his embrace.

Hyun-ri immediately returns Seok Gwan's embrace, patting Seok Gwan's back gently as if calming Seok Gwan down if all is well.

"I lost again. For the third time" said someone and smiled knot.

*******

"Oppa, are you gonna hold me like this?" ask Hyun-ri.

"Hm, I feel comfortable hugging you"

"Oppa, we're at a party. We have to come back soon, otherwise Seo Yoon oppa and Hwan-ki oppa will be looking for us for not coming back"

With an unwilling feeling, Seok Gwan takes off his embrace of Hyun-ri and turns his face cold.

"Alright" replied flatly Seok Gwan and directly holding Hyun-ri's hand.

"Wait!!!" said Hyun-ri holding back Seok Gwan's steps which pulled him to walk side by side.

"Why?"

"Small injuries only. Come on!!" answer Seok Gwan.

"But.."

"Come" said coldly Seok Gwan and Hyun-ri also according to the mind full of questions about Seok Gwan's wounds.

How could it be called a small wound, the handkerchief that wrapped Seok Gwan's hand had a blood stain. What Hyun-ri can make sure is blood from Seok Gwan's wounds.

"Eyeah"

*******

Night has changed morning, today is a work holiday. Hyun-ri still faithfully hides her body under the covers. He is still so lazy to wake up, because he can only sleep when the clock has shown at 4 am.

Hyun-ri last night thought about Hwan-ki and Seok Gwan. Hwan-ki who looks at him with a sad and disappointed look that he deliberately hid with his warm smile. Plus Seok Gwan who didn't tell him how he got the wound on his hand.

Hyun-ri is convinced that the wound on Seok Gwan's hand was not a small wound and was not caused by accident. Then, engraving the name of a handkerchief wrapped in Seok Gwan's wounds. Who her? Is he close to Seok Gwan? Did Seok Gwan meet someone secretly behind his back? Did Seok Gwan get into trouble with the owner of the handkerchief, causing his hand to hurt? Questions like that kept spinning in Hyun-ri's head.

Really, Hyun-ri's feelings and thoughts are raging wanting to know everything. But, Hyun-ri is only able to stay still and swallow everything she wants to know. Because of Seok Gwan's cold demeanor that didn't want to discuss about his hand wound.

"Who is he? Are you cheating on me, Seok Gwan oppa?" hyun-ri said softly under her blanket and involuntarily shed her tears.

A braid of love, not only about romance and sweetness alone. Each journey of the relationship will also find small pebbles that block and become painful when we spawk it. Either, will face it together and keep grasping each other. Or even let go of each other and hide everything to make misunderstandings in the relationship.

Nothing goes well as long as we are alive. All problems, good and bad will always block the step in front of us. But, as long as we are sure to continue to face it with a step full of patience and a firm heart. All the problems that come in front of us will be passed just like that, even if we have to feel the piercing pain.

"Hyun-ria, baby!!!" call Sora as she sits on the side of the bed next to Hyun-ri.

"You why, hm?? Don't you usually wake up on a holiday? What's up, honey?" sora asked softly as she stroked Hyun-ri's head which was still covered in blankets.

Hyun-ri is still silent about not answering the eomma's question. Sora sighed softly, looking at her daughter who remained silent and hiding behind the covers.

Until, a few seconds later Sora sees Hyun-ri's blanket shaking and hears a restrained sobbing from under Hyun-ri's blanket. Sora slowly opens Hyun-ri's blanket. He is a little surprised to see Hyun-ri curling up and crying with a body that shakes because it holds her stuffing.

Grep...

Quickly without hurting his daughter. Sora pulls Hyun-ri's hand to get up from her position and hugs her tightly by patting Hyun-ri's back gently.

"Sstt.. Eomma here dear" said slowly Sora calms Hyun-ri who is increasingly sobbing in her arms.

"Eomma here"

*********

"What's wrong?" coldly ask Hwan-ki when Seo Yoon visits his mansion early in the morning.

"Where were you last night? Why didn't you go tell the three of us?" seo Yoon asked after sitting down in the middle room long sofa.

"I went to the family Mansion. Appa and eomma are back from Japan" replied Hwan-ki flat and sitting on the single sofa.

"Appa and eomma are back?"

"Yes, their private plane landed last night. So, I went straight to the family Mansion to meet them"

"Ckb..Why didn't you tell us three? It would be better if last night the four of us went to see appa and eomma" Seo Yoon said with an annoyed clack.

"Then you just left Mr Kang's party?" ask coldly Hwan-ki.

"Hm, you're right too. Then I'll tell the others, to pay a visit to Mansion appa and eomma"

"Hm, whatever"
