"getting closer"

Hye Won woke up after she cried for the whole night. She immediately stood up and release a breath of relief to see she's still wearing her clothes last night.

She slowly went outside and amazed how beautiful yet looks so musculine the place is. But she stop from her walk when she think that this place is looks familiar to her. "Where am I? Did I been here before?" She murmured.

"I'm glad your awake, Ms. Shim..." Jeong hyeok said. Hye Won turn around to face him. "I'm sorry about what happened last night?" She said. Jeong Hyeok let out a small smile. He put the foods that he cooked on the table. "Have a seat and let's eat..." He said. Hye Won remain standing. "Is this a hotel? Can I know where are we?" She said. Jeong Hyeok look at her and Hye Won immediately approach him and sit opposite to him. "I think I've been here before. This place is looks familiar to me." She said while looking at the surrounding. Jeong Hyeok stop from eating and look at her with confusion. "I think you're mistaken..." He said. "This is my place." He added. Hye Won let out a small smile. "Arasso... I think you're right." She said and look down on her food.

Jeong Hyeok look at her, he's thinking about Seri but he also think that it's impossible that she is Seri. He saw in his own eyes how Seri died. 'maybe they have a similar mole because their twins...' In his thoughts.

A doorbell suddenly ring and they both startled. "Just keep on eating and we will leave for an hour." He said. "What?" Hye won said got surprised. "Where are we going?" She said.

Jeong Hyeok immediately went on the door to open it. "Eomma!" He said and he got shocked. Mrs. Ri smile "Hello my son..." She said. "Why you didn't tell me that you're coming today?" He asked. Mrs. Ri look at him. "And why should I? It's weekend and Im here to refill your stocks." She said. Mrs. Ri immediately enter and Jeong Hyeok couldn't stop her.

Mrs. Ri slipped on her hands all the grocery bags on her hand when she saw Hye Won.

Hye Won smile and greet her. "Good morning, Madame..." She said. Mrs. Ri eyes widen and she became emotional as she's looking at her. "Seri?" She unknowingly called. She immediately approach her and hug her tightly. "Seri.." She cried. Hye Won got startled but she let her hug her.

"Eomma... She's not Seri..." Jeong Hyeok said. Mrs. Ri come to her senses and release her from her hug. "I'm sorry..." She said to Hye Won but she still looking at her. "You must he her twin sister..." Mrs. Ri said. Hye Won look to Jeong Hyeok then she return her eyes to Mrs. Ri. "Yes..." She said. Mrs. Ri smile and hold her hand. "I'm glad that I finally meet and see you in person." She said. Hye Won smile.

"You look like your twin sister... What is your name?" Mrs. Ri said. Hye Won smile. "Shim Hye Won..." She said.  Mrs. Ri smile. "Seri also has a beautiful eye smile just like you." Mrs. Ri said. Hye Won didn't speak. "Join us in our lunch today.  I will cook Jeong Hyeok's favorite foods today. How about you? What's your favorite dish?" Mrs. Ri said. "Too bad,  my husband and my younger son is went on hiking today." She added.

Hye Won look at her then she smile. "Thank you, Madame... For loving my sister. Maybe she's kind and lovable that's why she's being loved by everyone." She said. Mrs. Ri smile, "I guess you are just like her. You're also lovable and kind." Mrs. Ri said. Hye Won smile, "Maybe I'm not... Honestly,  I really don't know what kind of a person I am." She said.

Jeong Hyeok is accidentally heard it.

Hye Won is on the room taking her bag and coat. Her phone suddenly ring and she saw Jin's name registered on the screen. She reject it but Jin call again. She was about to answer it when Jeong Hyeok snatch her phone. "Yah!" She said. Jeong Hyeok look at her. "You told me last night that you don't want him to be near at you... So you're not allowed to answer his calls while you're with me." He said. Hye Won look at him with puzzlement. "I mean... Don't be so stress today. I think you should rest today." He said and scratch his head.  "Let's go, Eomma is calling you. Join us on our lunch today." He said. He immediately went outside.

"My phone..." Hye Won said when Jeong Hyeok didn't return her phone.

Mrs. Ri is smiling the whole time while looking to Hye Won. Hye Won is happy while looking at the foods in front of her. "Thank You for the food, Madame." Hye Won said. "Just call me, Eomma." Mrs. Ri said. Hye Won got shocked and Jeong Hyeok choked. "Are you okay, Jeong Hyeok?" Mrs. Ri said. They both seated next to each other while Mrs. Ri is seated opposite to them. "Yes Im okay..." He said.

"Seri called me Eomma. And I also want you to call me like what your sister is calling me before. If it's okay to you?" She said.  Hye Won smile and nodded. "Arasso, Eomma..." She said.

In the middle of their eating Jeong Hyeok stop when he notice Hye won. Hye Won is taking off all the green peas from her food. "Oh! You didn't like green peas?" Mrs. Ri asked. Hye won let out a small smile, "I'm sorry but I didn't eat this." She said.

Jeong Hyeok look at her and he see again the mole behind her ear when Hye Won flip her hair.

Jeong Hyeok couldn't explain why he got an odd feeling.

After they're lunch,  Mrs. Ri left the two but she invite Hye Won to visit their house before she left.  Hye Won take her bag and coat, "President Ri thank you for letting me stay here and also had lunch with your mother. "She said. Jeong Hyeok look at her. "Are you leaving?" He asked. Hye Won nodded. "Did I ask you to leave?" He said. Hye Won look at him with puzzlement. "Let's go somewhere..." He said. "Where?" She asked. Jeong Hyeok smile. "To a place where you can relax." He said. "Trust me, you will love that place." He said.

'I don't know why but I want to protect her and I want her to stay on my sight...' In his mind.

Hye Won smile and feel happy but she try to hide it.

'It will be okay to feel this way?...' In her mind.
