Chapter 26 - caught off guard

Hwang tae-Kyeong smiled at her and didn't say anything but deep inside him he grew even more curious. He knew that it wasn't some simple self defense moves that she used. As someone who is experienced in different fighting skills he knew when someone just learned some basic steps or fights to survive in this world.

A few seconds were enough for him to analyze those differences.

He kept quiet about it because he knew that she wouldn't answer any questions about it right now.

Maybe after a few weeks or month of knowing each other she will trust him and talk more.

´I need to work on it`he thought.

Ari stood up and cleaned the dishes. Then she looked at her bed. A single bed. A bed with only one blanket and one pillow.

"Since you need to recuperate fast you need to rest well, use the bed I will sleep on the floor"

"Want me to leave so bad?"

"Yes!"

He pouted a bit while looking at her, but she didn't react to it.

"Well the gentleman in me wouldn't let the women sleep on the floor while being on the to be honest, not so comfortable bed."

She glared at him and thought

`why does he nag at everything in this apartment, shouldn't he be more thankful and keep quite´.

After a second she responded "Don't worry you don't need to act like a gentleman right now. I am used to sleeping on the floor and it won't be for a long time."

They used to punish prisoners by putting them in a cold, dark and extreme small room where one couldn't really stand. In order to feel a bit of warmth she sat in the corner, curled up.

She spent there a few days back then and comparing those days to today it was really nothing for her.

Just as she wanted to walk to the corner of the room to sit there she felt someone grad her wrist and throw her on the bed.

She had always a good reaction and it wasn't easy for someone to caught her off guard but this surprised her too much to react on time.
