A Thousand Flowers
Chaptre 61. Retaliation

That night, the dining table that should have felt warm turned cold. Shin Seo Hyun did not take a second to release her gaze from Izzah, while her mouth continued to chew the chicken meat stuck on the fork. For Shin Seo Hyun, the girl was really testing her patience.

Across from Shin Seo Hyun, Izzah's gaze was no less sharp piercing the dark eyes of the man before her. For Izzah, the man really made his blood boil. Shin Seo Hyun had always managed to keep her from twitching and was forced to never be able to resist her wishes. I wanted to feel Izzah throwing chicken thighs in a dish in front of him to the face of Shin Seo Hyun.

“Hah! Chicken thigh?”

Izzah immediately turned his attention and rushed to snatch the only remaining chicken thigh. Izzah casually chewed the chicken with his lentic fingers, then put it in his mouth regardless of the boss' gaze.

Shin Seo Hyun could only watch Izzah. Anxious.

“Waaah! This girl really always has a way to change the color of my heart,” whispered Shin Seo Hyun inwardly. He secretly admired the girl.

After the meal, Izzah cleaned the dining table and brought dirty utensils to the sink.

“Let me wash it,”, Shin Seo Hyun said as she watched Izzah pour dishwashing soap into the bowl.

Hearing Shin Seo Hyun's words, Izzah immediately washed her hands and left the man without saying anything. Relaxed, he walked up the stairs.

Standing in front of the sink, Shin Seo Hyun could only gawk while scratching his head. In his heart he screamed loudly.

“Izzaaaaah .. not very sensitive anyway you become a person,” ruknya. “Padahan, I mean to say that so that there is a scene like Korean dramas. Mutual grab plates hold views, deg-degan, continue …. Uhh! Sebel!” shin Seo Hyun scolded while soaping the dishes in annoyance.

“Awas yes, Zah. Wait for the play date!” hu Shin Seo Hyun.

There was a loud clanging sound due to the clattering of dishes and glasses that Shin Seo Hyun was washing violently. If only the plate and the glass could talk, they would have cursed Shin Seo Hyun.

“Izzah who was upset, why were we thrown? Don't know thank you very much!”

“OK. Now take a deep breath!” shin Seo Hyun's orders to herself.

Huuuuh .. haaaah .. huuuuh .. haaaaah ….

From the stairs, Izzah watched Shin Seo Hyun's annoyance with a wide smile.

“Racaine! It's good to be fucked! Basic sneaky boss!” maki Izzah while closing his laughter with both hands and rushed up with a sneak before being caught.

When I was about to turn the door handle, Izzah saw a long light beam on the floor not far from his room. Izzah let go of his grip and walked towards that light. Once close, it was realized that the light was coming from the gap of the door that was slightly open.

“Doors? I didn't see that door before,” murmured.

Intrigued, Izzah pushed the door slowly and turned his head, peeking at the contents of the space behind the door. Looks like high shelves filled with books. In the right corner of the door, there was a small cupboard. In front of the closet, a pair of tables and chairs were neatly arranged.

“Hem .. It looks like it's a private library, Mas Dirga. Login ah .…”

After making sure Shin Seo Hyun had not yet boarded, Izzah walked into the room and closed the door quietly.

“Waaah .. a huge collection of his books,” hisses Izzah amazed. He walked through neatly arranged books.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a book with a dark cover. Draw that book.

“The Nocturnal Brain: Tales of Nightmares and Neuroscience and the Secret World Sleep. Guy Leschziner,” whispered Izzah, reading the title and author of the book.

She opened the book in front of him. Read every line of sentence he reads. Hopefully he will find answers to all the nightmares that have disturbed his sleep.

As a doctor, Izzah understood very well that he should go to a psychiatrist. However, his reluctance to let others into the private sphere of his life made Izzah persist in not consulting any psychiatrist.

Huuuh .. haaaah .…

Izzah took a deep breath. The series of stories that present how sleep disorders affect the life of a person and his family really makes him have to admit that in the bottom of his heart he is very worried.

Her nightmares continue to eat away at her belief in a man's love. He's getting pessimistic. Without realizing it, she seemed to have transformed into a woman with multiple personalities. Her warm and cheerful figure turned cold and taut when faced with a young man.

Starting with a long sigh, Izzah closed the book he read. His fingers held up his chin. His eyes glared far away, staring at the darkness outside the window.

“Should I see a psychiatrist?”

Repeatedly the question disturbed the tranquility of Izzah. Confused to make a choice, Izzah opened the book he had read. I don't know how long he's been in the library. Izzah began to yawn, then fell asleep with the book still developing.

***

In his study, Shin Seo Hyun sat yawning with the laptop still on. The clock ticks are clear, the night signs are getting quieter. Shin Seo Hyun glanced at the small clock on her desk. At 11.19. He stood up while turning off the laptop.

Just as his body touched the mattress, Shin Seo Hyun got back up and walked out of his room towards Izzah's room. His eyes narrowed when he saw that the door of the room was not tightly closed.

Not wanting to make the occupants of the room wake up, Shin Seo Hyun intended to slowly close the door. However, upon realizing the lights were still on, Shin Seo Hyun canceled his intention. Opening the door was slow. How shocked Shin Seo Hyun was when she saw that only Ha Na was lying on the bed.

“Where is that strange girl?” Shin Seo Hyun's heart wondered.

The bathroom door. Not a single bit of light seeped out.

“Hem ... she's not in the bathroom either. Where is he?”

Slowly shut the door of the room.

“He couldn't possibly escape, right?” whispered Shin Seo Hyun's heart started to get suspicious.

“No! He couldn't have left Ha Na. She's not that kind of girl. During this time he was very responsible,” denied the other side of Shin Seo Hyun's heart.

Suddenly Shin Seo Hyun remembered that Izzah was happy to read. He also set foot into the library. Turn on the door handle. It is unlocked, and then it opens slowly.

Standing in the middle of the door, Shin Seo Hyun smiled. He breathed a sigh of relief as his eyes caught the figure of Izzah by the window. Without making a sound, he closed the door and walked over to the girl.

For a moment Shin Seo Hyun just stood with his right hand in his pants pocket. He saw Izzah's sleeping back. A moment later, the girl passed by and sat to the right of Izzah.

With cheek support, Shin Seo Hyun looked at Izzah's sleeping face with her outstretched left arm. His right hand still touched the last page of the book he read.

Shin Seo Hyun took a deep breath, then imitated Izzah's pose opposite. The sleepiness that had attacked him suddenly vanished immediately watching the innocent face of Izzah who looked like a kitten falling asleep.

Thirty minutes later, Shin Seo Hyun's forehead creased as she saw Izzah frowning in her sleep. Izzah was dreaming.
