Chapter 102

                                    

                                          
Lisa was left breathless at those words.
                          
His past was really not one to be mentioned lightly.
                          
Their eyes met, with Eunwoo's pupils reflecting her clear face and glinting faintly, whereas ten thousand-year's worth of emotions lurked just beneath.
                          
It was as if they were talking through gaze alone.
                          
As Lisa kept looking, the image of a fractured scenery suddenly appeared in her mind.
                          
It was blurry.
                          
Very blurry.
                          
That was when two waitresses hurriedly brushed past each other beside them, colliding on their shoulders and dropping the water on their tray.
                          
Eunwoo's eye tightened and he got to his feet swiftly, wrapping himself around Jungkook tightly.
                          
Thud_
                          
The cup broke into pieces on the floor while the contents steamed, splashing all over.
                          
The waiter quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
                          
Lisa was stunned, and she could clearly feel the man holding her drawing a breath.
                          
She quickly stood up and found that Eunwoo's arm was now scarlet.
                          
Without a word, she pulled her to the washroom in the shop, turned on the tap and kept washing that arm with cold water.
                          
"Are you alright?" She then asked looking up.
                          
Eunwoo's face looked even whiter now. His pale lips were tightening as if he was enduring the pain.
                          
He shook his head and forced a smile "I'm fine".
                          
From the side of the woman's porcelain face, he could see hints of worry.
                          
He stared blankly for seconds, seemingly soaking in a certain memory.
                          
"Thank you" When he recovered Lisa was already cleaning his arm with tissues.
                          
She was looking at him with gratitude and nothing else.
                          
"Shouldn't you go to the hospital?" She asked, a little worried about his injury.
                          
As the glint in his eyes went out, Eunwoo's shook his head. "No need"
                          
It was but a scratch he wouldn't die from it.
                          
After all, would it compare to a wound in the heart?
                          
****
                          
When they returned, the cleaners had cleared away the glass shards while the waitresses approached them to keep apologizing.
                          
Still, Eunwoo's reaction was neutral.
                          
He remained ever dispassionate, appearing uninterested in anything, and nothing seemed capable of provoking him.
                          
Meanwhile, Lisa was still worried. "Should I get you some burn cream?"
                          
Some medicine should be acceptable even if he didn't want to go to the hospital.
                          
Eunwoo smiled. "Its' fine. A little wound like this is nothing"
                          
However, the more he said that, the more Lisa was worried.
                          
He protected her without a thought, and she was denied the chance tp help him.
                          
Being unable to return the favor left her feeling bad.
                          
Seemingly able to tell what she was thinking, Eunwoo grinned. "You don't have to feel guilty. I would help even if it was someone else".
