A Thousand Flowers
Chaptre 55. Ultimatums

Three days have passed. Izzah never expected to spend that long in a man's house.

That morning he was packing to return to his rented house when the door was knocked from the outside. A moment later there was the sound of the door opening, followed by footsteps walking towards him.

“What are you doing?” shin Seo Hyun asked, noticing Izzah styling her clothes that were slapped on the bed into the suitcase.

“Of course are getting ready to go home. I've been here long enough,” said Izzah without distracting him.

“Stop!” shin Seo Hyun ordered, blocking Izzah's right wrist from entering a fold.

“Let go of my hand, Mr Shin!” pinta Izzah without looking.

“I won't let go before you promise to stay here,” Shin Seo Hyun said firmly. His hands were clutching Izzah's wrists.

Izzah stood up to challenge Shin Seo Hyun, trying to let go of the man's check. Shin Seo Hyun looked at Izzah coldly without even loosening her grip.

“Mr Shin, I don't understand what you're thinking. I appreciate you taking good care of me and I'm very grateful for that, but ... there's no reason for me to stay here,” explained Izzah at length, made Shin Seo Hyun's eyes sparkle.

“Don't I tell you that I take full responsibility for your safety?”

“If that's the reason, you don't have to worry Mr. Shin. I can take good care of myself. I promise.”

“Why do you keep denying me?” ask Shin Seo Hyun flatly. Trying to maintain patience as his emotions began to be provoked in the face of Izzah's stubbornness.

“Mr Shin, why do you keep forcing me?” reply cold Izzah.

“Aaargh! This girl really has the guts to test my patience,” cried Shin Seo Hyun's heart behind her sharp gaze.

Izzah was getting restless. He racked his brain to find a way to escape from Shin Seo Hyun's check. As if I could read Izzah's mind, Shin Seo Hyun further strengthened his check.

“Sial!” maki Izzah at heart with clenched hands.

His hands were drawn hard. However, his body was instead sucked forward as Shin Seo Hyun returned the pull. Now the distance between his body and Shin Seo Hyun was only blocked by two hands.

The gaze of two different people stabbed each other sharply. Izzah struggled to escape and Shin Seo Hyun insisted on defending Izzah. Two minutes later, Shin Seo Hyun quickly raised his hand and twisted Izzah's body without releasing his grip to make Izzah's back

stuck to his chest.

Izzah who did not expect to get such a surprise attack could only hold his breath in a locked position. Her cheeks were hot as she felt Shin Seo Hyun's breath in her ear whispering.

“You can choose, keep working as an intern and stay here or stop and go back to Indonesia. I wait for your answer in three hours.”

Finished saying as soon as Shin Seo Hyun let go of Izzah, then walked out of the room without turning her head.

Outside the room, leaning against the wall, Shin Seo Hyun exhaled a loud breath while stroking his chest. His heart rate rumbled. Her cheeks were red and hot. Quickly he went down.

GLAKES! GLAKES! GLAKES!

Shin Seo Hyun swallowed cold water from the bottle nonstop. Wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then threw the bottle on the kitchen table. A moment later, he stood up violently, making the chair he was sitting on pushed back.

“Sial! Again the girl made me almost lose control,” maki Shin Seo Hyun while opening the door to the back garden.

Exhausted running two rounds around the park, Shin Seo Hyun threw himself on the grass under a large tree. He stretched out his hands and feet. Re-normalize his breathing and heartbeat.

The rays of sunlight that burst through the gaps of the young leaves dazzled the eyes, making Shin Seo Hyun forced to close his eyes. A moment later, he snapped and opened his eyes.

For decades he had not seen the great tree leafy. In fact, not even a single one. Then, why is it that today suddenly the tree seems to be reborn?

Shin Seo Hyun circled around her seat, observing the grass around the tree. He was more astonished when he saw the grass that had been dry and brownish colored had grown lushly like a stretch of green carpet.

“How could this happen? I've used a variety of plant fertilizers, but none of them have worked. Then, why is it suddenly like this?” Shin Seo Hyun was really confused by the oddity.

The view travels through every inch of the park. It's still as it was. Live hard, die not want. The flowers are still dry. Only the big tree and the grass under the tree lived again, as if it had received a new spirit.

Suddenly, Shin Seo Hyun's memory was fixed on Izzah. Could it be that the stubborn girl had used her strength?

Very carefully, Shin Seo Hyun observed every inch of the ground and the trunk of the large tree.

CLINGY!

A dazzling silhouette appeared in the cracks of the grass. Shin Seo Hyun approached the light. A small brooch was lying there. Thought that thing. Observe it carefully.

“Isn't this the brooch Izzah wore before he disappeared?” muttered Shin Seo Hyun.

Suddenly Sandra's words echoed in her head. “I found the girl passed out on the page.”

“Hem .. means the girl actually came here. You stupid girl. Already know the pain is still using his strength,” scold Shin Seo Hyun while returning to lay his body on the grass.

“Is this time?” shin Seo Hyun asked as she continued to play around with the brooch in her hand.

In his room, Izzah threw himself face down on the bed with his hands clenched. He's very upset.

“Basic sneaky boss! Once he gave me two hard choices. Absolutely no heart,” maki Izzah repeatedly.

“Which one should I choose? Should I give up and go home to Indonesia?”

Izzah. His heart wavered as he reflected on his conversation with Dimas.

At that time, for the first time he accidentally met Dimas in Korea. While enjoying the beautiful autumn, they chatted down the streets of the Yonsei University Museum.

“Mas Dimas has been in business here for a long time?” Izzah asked while picking up a fallen maple leaf.

“Not really yet, but there are other things that are more important for me to do here in addition to business matters,” said Dimas, stirring curiosity Izzah.

“Oh yes? What is it?”

“You remember the painting you saw in my family library?”

“Of course. What does this have to do with it?”

“Yes. I came here on a mission to find the key holder of the four gates of the Thousand Flowers Country,” explained Dimas while picking up a leaf that fell on top of Izzah's head.

“How can Mas Dimas know that the key is here?”

“Do not know exactly the hell. But based on the records of the documents I read, the possibilities are only in three countries. I've been looking for it in Japan and China, but didn't get anything,” replied Dimas sighing disappointedly.
