효도 (Hyodo) - to dedicate yourself to your parents by caring for them until they die
Kim Willow grabbed the gun and ran away from the blood, the dead bodies, and the smell of death. She sprinted so fast, she didn’t have time to notice that she tripped over a rock. She fell straight on her ankle as she yelled out a desperate scream but hushed herself, too late, a looming shadow stood over her. Willow felt metal pressed to her forehead, her eyes widened in fear, and her heart pulse raced.
“Who are you?” a deep masculine voice asked
Willow looked up and saw a Korean guy my age with beautiful yet cold blue eyes holding a gun at my forehead. She couldn’t help but smile slightly, a small smile that he couldn’t see.
“I’m an innocent girl who sprained her ankle” Willow responded as she grabbed his wrist
“Who must you be?” Willow asked,
“Are you sure you’re innocent because you literally have a gun behind your back?”
“Oh, um, I picked this up for self-defense..”
“Yeah sure, I saw you shooting people and you definitely know how to use a gun”
“Ok, fine, but who are you?”
“If I tell you, you might track and kill me”
“No, I’m not-”
As I replied, he pulled me into him and whispered not to say anything because there were running footsteps, as my head touched his hard chest, I blushed. I could hear his heartbeat, I prayed that whoever was there would leave. I felt safe in his arms; a stranger I only met five minutes ago, I didn’t want to move from my position.
“You can let go, the coast is clear” he teased
“Yeah, sorry about that” I mumbled, silently praying the room was dark so he couldn’t see me blushing.
“No problem, the name is Kim Taehyung”
“Nice name, I’m Kim Willow”
“I would love to meet you again, but unfortunately you won’t see me again”
“Wait, where do you live?”
“Why, do you like me?”
“Maybe, we can become friends” I explained
“Friends? Why not anything more than friends? Boyfriend? Husband?” Kim Taehyung replied smirking
“Um, maybe over time” I avoided eye contact as my face felt warm, and I instantly knew I was blushing.
“Alright, the address is 1387 Olive Road, you’re blushing, hmm, I wonder why”
My heart raced abnormally raced as I processed his words, he grabbed my face lightly and looked into my eyes. I looked into his beautiful blue eyes, there was a sweet yet deadly look.
“Your eyes are beautiful darling, I have never seen such beautiful hazel eyes like yours”
“Thanks, your eyes have a sweet yet deadly look”
“I know I’m handsome, careful, you might fall for me”
“Oh, please! As if you’re that handsome!” I laughed with a sarcastic smile. ‘I don’t need to fall in love with you, I already did!’
