“Who are you?” The handsome fellow asked. The way he asked it felt like he was a king ordering his lowly subject.
If it were someone else, they would flinch hearing such chilling voice. But Mu Lan didn’t flinch or shiver. She found him quite interesting. She couldn’t take her eyes off of his lonely eyes full of sadness.
Those lonely eyes were distant. They wanted to stay away from people, not because they didn’t want people closer to them. It was because, they were afraid of getting hurt. Though they kept their presence indistinct, they wanted the warmth called love. They wanted friends. They kept wishing but no one came to recognize them.
Mu Lan looked at his eyes deeply. That man felt uncomfortable under her sharp gaze. He didn’t feel it intimidate but he felt that those transparent eyes could read his soul like an open book. He looked away.
Seeing his discomfort, Mu Lan averted her gaze. Then she slowly got closer to him. That guy saw her movement and became alert. His body became rigid and he eyed her suspiciously.
“I asked you who you are. What do you want and why are you here?” He asked cautiously.
Mu Lan smiled at him. “I’m Hua Lan. I’m here to find my path of happiness.”
That guy didn’t believe her. He looked colder than before.
‘Maybe he didn’t believe me. But I did speak the truth.’ Mu Lan thought. She knew that she should leave but she couldn’t. She wanted to accompany that lonely guy. But he had different wish. he didn’t want her to be with her.
He coldly said, “Leave! I don’t want to see your face.” Saying his line he turned around and wanted to leave. However, Mu Lan had another plan. She asked, “What’s your name? Why are you here?”
He refused to answer but he stopped in his track when he realized that certain annoying girl was following him. He sternly said, “Don’ follow me or I’ll hurt you.”
Mu Lan said, “Dude, why are you acting so heartlessly. We are alone here. So why don’t we go together. I’m feeling that we’re going to the same route.” She smiled at him.
This time, he didn’t say anything. They walked silently and that cold guy didn’t utter a word since then.
Mu Lan started to feel bored and suddenly there were some sounds of guns. She became frightened. She felt this sound was familiar but she couldn’t remember from where she heard this sound. But the moment she heard, she knew it was sound of gun.
She started to panic as the sound was coming closer. She saw a guy pointed out his gun at her. She was too afraid to move. All of a sudden, that cold guy appeared between them and took the bullet.
Mu Lan felt that she did something wrong. She hugged that guy. They were closer to river. So she took him to river bank and took some water in her hands and made him drink the water. Seeing his blood flowing out, she felt her heart was ripped out.
She couldn’t control her tears anymore and started to say, “Please, don’t leave me. Please, don’t leave me.”
