Girl In The Winter's

Chapter 35

"Have you had lunch?" suddenly Dr. Lee hugged Ayumi's shoulder from behind which made the girl almost jump in shock.

"Senior! What the hell are you doing? Everyone is looking at us" Ayumi whispered as she removed the handsome doctor's hand from her shoulder.

"Let it go, let everyone know that now you are mine" she said with a smile.

Ayumi fell silent, though, his chest felt something strange when he heard the words it was not the happiness of a person in love but rather the fear that his decision last night to give the man a chance was wrong, and the feeling of guilt for ostensibly using it to forget about another.

All the way home last night they filled with silence, they dissolved in each other's minds until they finally arrived in front of the apartment, Ayumi was just about to take a break when the sharp-eyed, pointed-nosed man broke the silence.

"Can't you forget it?"

Ayumi looks surprised when she hears a low voice belonging to the man who looks very hurt, and she knows it was he who had made her hurt.

"*Do you know who he is?"

"Seung Won*?"

Ayumi's heart now felt like it was going to be dislodged to hear the man beside her mention the real name of the man she was trying to forget.

"How did you know that?"

Ayumi still remembered the pushy look from the eyes that usually stared intently at her and it made her feel very guilty.

"I found out from the way you guys looked at each other, and you called him very familiar."

At that time Ayumi could only be quiet down, she thought she had been so great at hiding her own feelings but it turned out that others easily guessed it.

"*Ayumi, she's engaged to my sister."

"I know! You don't have to remind me of that, and you don't have to worry about me taking it from your sister. I won't do that, you can hold my word*."

"All right, I believe" said Dr. Lee after a moment of silence, "So Ayumi, please give me a chance to help you forget about it, give me one chance to replace it in your heart, give me a chance to make you fall in love with me."

Ayumi was silent at the words of the man who was now staring at her while gripping her shoulder, in the dimness of the light in the car she could still see the solemnity and sincerity of her words. Ayumi was silent dissolved in the sharp eyes of the man before she finally shook her head.

"No.. Senior... forgive me.. How can I accept you when my heart is still thinking of another man? How could I do such a thing to a man as good as you?"

"Ayumi..how can you fill your heart with another man if you don't give others a chance to approach you?"

Ayumi took a deep breath as she recalled the conversation the two had had last night that ended in the victory of the man who was now walking beside her, she could finally convince herself to give what she asked for, that's an opportunity.

"Where are we going?" Ayumi asked in surprise when she realized they were in the elevator.

"My father called, he asked me to come to Yuri's room" replied Dr. Lee relaxed with a smile, both of his hands stuffed into the pockets of his black pants.

"But.." said Ayumi nervously.

"Don't worry, the guy wasn't there, I heard his parents came so it looks like they're going to see my sister later in the afternoon."

But the surgeon's guess was wrong, the VVIP room where his sister was treated now looks full by some people, Ayumi knows Tuan and Ny. Lee who was sitting on the sofa with a husband and wife who are now staring at them probing.

"Who is coming here? Soo Hyuk's.. ah! I think I should call you Dr. Lee, you look so handsome in your white coat" said a woman who looked graceful in a broken white knee-length dress, adorned with a pearl necklace that was also a set with her earrings and bracelet. The woman with the shoulder-length hair now stood up to hug Dr. Lee had to bow down so that the woman could kiss her cheek with a smile.

"You also look beautiful as always" said Dr. Lee showed a smile.

Now Dr. Lee leaned over and shook hands with a middle-aged man who had an extremely strong charisma behind his gray suit, Ayumi believes that the man was very handsome in his youth because until now he still has good looks.

Ayumi's chest skipped a beat, her brows furrowed, her round eyes now looking at the middle-aged man's black eyes that looked a little surprised when she realized his existence. He seemed to have met the man, but when? Whereabouts? His brain turned around trying to remember but ended up in a deadlock, he could not remember at all.
