Pregnant Child President
46. Promises

“Did my face remind you of someone?”

Lea's question made Lian fixated, pulling her hand that had been glued to the air. Diverting attention to the burning coals.

“Ups, sorry .. I don't mean–“

“No need to apologize,” says Lian. “You live here by yourself?” His eyes swept around. Wooden house, the size is very small but everything is neatly arranged.

“Yes, both my parents died when I was a child. Sorry if it makes you uncomfortable. Mesku is small but safe for us to take shelter until the blizzard stops.”

“What is your habit of always apologizing?” When he looked at Lea's face, his chest immediately thumped. The sentence that was just spoken reminded him of Gia.

“E, not really. I'm hany–“

Brak!

Whoooooooooosshee!

Blake, clack, clack, clack!

The sound of the door opening as the wind mixed with snow distracted the attention.

“Gosh!” Lea ran over quickly, pulling the door shut again. As much as possible to keep the door from getting carried away by the wind, but it looks like a snowstorm is bigger than expected.

Before helping Lea, Lian looked for something to hold the door. Seeing a piece of wood, Lian took it and immediately used it to help Lea.

Lian stood behind Lea, they pulled the door simultaneously. After successfully closing, Lian used her wood to hold the door so as not to get carried away by the wind.

Blam it!

Finally the door was shut.

Huh, huh, huh ....

Their breaths hunted, almost freezing to death if the door was broken and carried away by the wind while the blizzard was still going on.

“Thank God, almost.” Lea's attention turned to Lian's hand that was still at the door. If you look at the other side, then people think Lian is hugging her from behind.

Gh! Dehem Lea neutralized the nervous atmosphere.

Dugm!

Lea was fixated, surprised when she stepped back but hit Lian's body.

That close was the distance between them, while Lea found it strange that Lian had not left and was still standing behind her.

Lian was speechless, bowed looking at Lea who stood nailing. “You have the same scent,” murmured Lian.

“You said what?” Lea twisted her body, but she was surprised because of her closeness to Lian. His face lifted, looking at Lian's much taller eyes.

“Not ... I didn't say anything.”

The two fell silent, staring at each other.

“I'm sure he said something earlier,” Inner Lea.

“You okay?” Her voice was soft and heavy, Lea was blown away.

He could only shut up, his lips twitched. What's more when her face feels warm because Lian touched her cheek.

Deg, deg, deg!

“What is this ... Why am I pounding?” inner Lea.

“Absolutely nothing different.” His mind was full of memories of Gia. Lian finally regained consciousness from the daydream after her finger touched Lea's lips.

The deg!

“Your face is full of snow, you must be cold.” Trying to distract her, Lian took off the coat she was wearing and put it on to cover Lea's body.

“No need, I'm fine.” Trying to resist but Lian still gave her coat.

“Your body should keep warm, do not get sick. Don't you have to prepare lunch tomorrow for my workers?”

Lea could only stand still, receiving a coat from Lian. “Then sit down, I will make a warm drink for you.”

“That?” Lian pointed to the glass that was on the table.

“It must have been cold.” Lea took a quick step towards the kitchen, making a warm drink for Lian.

Her cheeks were blushing, a thin smile was seen adorning her lips. “Wanginya,” said Lea referring to Lian's coat. “It must be very expensive, really make my body warm.”

~♤~

“Thanks for the coffee.” Lian took over a cup of coffee from Lea's hand.

“Don't hesitate, just think of this as your coat.”

They sat in front of the fireplace again, while the snowstorms were out there never stopping.

Not knowing what else they should talk about, as if confused to run out of stock.

“Kau–“ Both say simultaneously, causing a sense of awkwardness that increasingly thickens.

“Please, what do you want to ask me?” sahut Lian's.

“Uhm .. plan how many days you will stay in Jeju?”

“Should be tomorrow morning I should be back.”

“E, as fast as that?” sahut Lea, but his facial expression was glued when he realized he should not say so.

“No, it's okay.” Lea was getting nervous. “Sial, why am I so nervous like this?”

“But it looks like I want even longer here.” Lian stared fixedly at Lea's face as she spoke. Look for any changes in Lea's facial expression.

“Oh, what made you change your mind?”

“Something I couldn't find anywhere, I found something I couldn't find in Seoul. That made me change my mind to stay in Jeju longer.”

“If you had come in spring, you would have seen a sea of flowers in Jeju. There are so many places you can visit at that time. But since it is winter now .. all the flowers are dead.”

Lian did not care what Lea said, she was more interested in looking at her face. Enjoying every change of Lea's expression that attracts the heart.

“Uhm, sorry if I talk a lot. You're upset to hear my chatty mouth.”

“It's okay, just continue .. I like to hear it.” Lian's eyes never separated from him, looking at Lea up close as if to make his heart comfortable because he could see Gia was on the woman.

After hearing Lian's words, Lea's brain was empty. All the neatly arranged sentences seemed to just disappear.

“Why did you stop talking?” Lian propped up her chin, daydreaming at Lea.

His cheeks were embarrassed. “Because ... ever since there was someone who kept looking at me without blinking, I lost all my words “

Ppff! The first time after losing Gia, Lian was finally able to smile back.

“Oh, isn't this a wedding ring?” Lea realized that Lian was wearing a ring on her ring finger.

Lian stared at the ring on her finger. “Uhm, yes.”

“Then where is he, did he not come to Jeju?”

“She always comes with me wherever I go.”

“Now where is he, is he waiting at the hotel? Your wife isn't worried because you're not coming back soon? “

“At here.” Lian pointed to the chest.

Lea was fixated, trying to digest Lian's words.

“Wherever I go, he is always in my heart.”

“Ooh ..” Lea still doesn't understand.

“She died .. four months ago. But, he remains in my heart.”

“Gosh!” Lea felt guilty for bringing up about his wife. “Sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of–“

“Nothing ... everything will improve.” Lian's gaze deepened, clearly seeing the regret on Lea's face for reminding her of Gia. “Lea?”

“Hmm?”

“Can I ask you one more thing?”

“Please.”

“Tadi ... while on the beach, I saw you were talking to someone via phone. Is that your lover?”

“Uhm!” Lea hesitated.

“Where is he?”

“He works in Seoul.”

“When is he back?” Lian was getting curious.

“She said she would visit later this month.”

“Late month?” Lian's forehead was wrinkled.

“Iya, why?” Lea's curious.

“So ... it's still quite a while before your lover comes. You want to go with you tomorrow?”

“Go?” Lea's confused.

“Hmm, you said there are places to visit during the winter. I happen to have a lot of free time tomorrow, so ... how? You want to take me for a walk?”

“But, tomorrow I have to prepare food for employees who work at the resort.”

“How about I help you cook, prepare food for them after that you accompany going somewhere?”

Lea was still silent, looking at Lian's eyes full of confusion.

“You're afraid your lover is angry?” sahut Lian's.

“E, no. Not so but–“

“I can keep a secret, I won't tell anyone about this. Promise?” Lian uses her pinkie to make an appointment with Lea.

Though hesitant, Lea finally returned her little promise.

Zzztzzwt!

Claps!

Aaaaaa!

Lea shouted as the lights suddenly went out.
