Chapter 20: On the move, again

"Did you say, Adam?" asked the receptionist boy while Eun Hye was about to leave.

"Why?" asked Eun Hye.

"Have you heard of an artist named Adam?"

"Oh please! Enough of Adams...Is everybody named Adam these days? I can't listen to this name anymore.. let me go home please, Bon Hwa." she was irritated.

"Listen to just one thing.. I heard, that artist Adam is no human. The rumors say that he is the weirdest of all perverts ever seen. He approaches a pretty young woman saying "You're my Eve" and when the lady falls for him, he crazily stalks her and...." Eun Hye cut him off in the middle of his dialogue, "PAuse.. Bon Hwa.. wh..at did.. y..ou just say??? What does he tell every woman?" she shivered.

"You're my Eve.... Why? You're acting like he said it to you.." Bon Hwa laughed at Eun Hye.

She collapsed. Bon Hwa ran towards her, "Why? What happened? Are you okay doctor?

He brought her a glass of water. She feebly thanked him, "Thanks Bon Hwa. I'll just go home for now. Let's talk tomorrow."

"No, I'll drop you home."


Next Morning,

Someone was badly striking Eun Hye's door.

"Who's it?" she woke up from bed.

"Eun Hye!! Open the door." Jin Ae Ra was shouting.

"Goodness, what is it Ae Ra? Why are you screaming this early in the morning?" Eun Hye asked.

"Hey girl... are you alright? Just what happened? Bon Hwa told me you collapsed yesterday? Are you sick?" Ae Ra began without taking a breath.

"Calm down, Jin Ae Ra. Why are you so hyped up. I am all well, see!" Eun Hye assured her. She could obviously not blurt out anything without any evidence, that too telling Ae Ra about it, was the last thing she would ever do...Eun Hye continued in a calmer tone, "Ae Ra, I think I'll be going away for a few days."

"Why? Tell me honestly, what happened?" Ae Ra insisted.

"Oho.. I told you nothing happened. I'll just visit my Dad for a few days and come back."

"Yeah yeah.. you should go.. He must be missing you. Hasn't it been years since you went there?"

"Hmm. Be well Ae Ra. Don't miss me too much. Live a happy life."

"What.. are you dying?.. What's with all this?" laughed Ae Ra. "I'll make you some breakfast Eun Hye. Go, get ready."

Eun Hye hugged Ae Ra from the back, "I'll be back soon."

"Of course, you will be.. where else will you go? Stop acting weird. Just go." Ae Ra scolded her with a smile.

Indeed, they were more like a mom and daughter pair.

But, where is Eun Hye planning to go? To her Dad's or Jeju?
