After getting into his car, she felt the urge to hush her breathing. The air was solemn enough with the presence of the two bodyguards. Now that there was another man that exuded impelling force, her mind was in a daze and she could not even come up with a decent topic.

In actuality, she was not that close with Ren; they met less than twice in a year. especially after she was told off during middle school. They had not seen each other for years when he pursued his studies abroad. He did appear when Scarlet was celebrating Ruka’s graduation from high school, but that was the last time they met. Now, he was mature man who no one dared to approach.

“Did the translation department contact you?” Ren suddenly inquired.

“N-not yet,” she stammered with her words due to nervousness.

At that time, her phone suddenly rang, which prompted her to ask, “May I answer the call?”

Her expression somehow indicated that it was a sin for her to answer a call in front of him.

“Sure.” He nodded.

It was not until then that she glanced at the screen. Despite the surging surprise and pleasure, she kept her voice as low as possible. “Are you here yet?”

“Yup! I’ve just landed. What about you? Have you eaten? Should I pick you up and have a meal together?” It was the brisk voice of a man.

“No, it’s alright. You should go home and get some early rest. We’ll meet up tomorrow.” She smiled lightly.

Unbeknownst to Ruka, the man next to him could hear the voice resounding from her phone due to the silence in the car. “Why? Don’t you miss me?” the man grumbled.

“Of course I…. I do miss you! But you’ve just returned to the country. You should head home first.” “Then, we can meet up for a meal and a movie tomorrow. Your favorite sci-fi movie has just been released.”

“Really? I’m totally up for it.” She was on cloud nine. Not only did her crush return to the country, the movie she anticipated was also released. It was as though wonderful things were happening at the same time.

On the other hand, Ren turned his head to look out of the window as if he was deep in his thoughts. However, he kept listening to how happy her voice was while she talked over the phone; mixed feelings stirred in his eyes.

It was not until Ruka terminated the call that he turned to look at her, only to see the smile across her lips. Her joyous expression struck somewhere deep in his racing heart.

He stared at her while images of past memories flashed across his head. He could vividly remember the way she looked as she grew up like a butterfly.

They met for the first time when he was twelve; Scarlet carried a little girl home, who was weeping non-stop with her hands held onto Scarlet’s shoulders tightly. It was safe to say that tears did not stop falling from her beady eyes.

At that time, Ren was doing his homework at Scarlet’s house and the girl was so noisy that he was annoyed.

During the afternoon, she would snatch away his ball when he was playing basketball. Not only did she refuse to return it while hugging it, she even cried while lying on the ground like a brat!

Back then, she was only two years old, the age where even dogs found them annoying. It was her first time rebelling, but she was not someone to mess with.

Scarlet told him that she was going to take care of the child since the parents left the country upon receiving a job transfer at the very last minute. Meanwhile, Scarlet’s son was taken to the army base to be raised by his grandfather; the far distance rendered it difficult for them to meet up. Thus, she really wished to look after the girl.

“Ren, play with me.” The little girl chased after Ren after he finished school.

Scarlet pulled her and told her, “Ruka, Ren is your Uncle. You should address him respectfully.”

From that day onward, he had a faithful shadow who imitated everything that he did; whenever he was finishing his homework, she would sit beside him and pretend to write something on a small notebook while reading, “Rabbit, pig…. duck, baby… Done!”

However, the once puny girl, who learned new vocabularies next to him, was dating a guy right now.

Time flew by in a blink of an eye. When Ruka was still five, Ren left Scarlet’s house to pursue his studies abroad. He bet she did not remember anything before she turned five, but he maintained the recollection for all of it.

“Was that your boyfriend?” He turned his head to confirm the situation. “No. He’s my senior.” She waved her hand.

“Are you going out with him?” he questioned further.

Her expression turned sad as she scratched her head. “Nah, we’re just friends.”

His intense gaze fixated upon her as he claimed, “You’re still young. You have a lot of time to find yourself a partner.”

“You’re right. I don’t have plans to date one in the near future either.” She nodded like an obedient child.

It was not that Ruka did not want to; there was a fine line between her and her senior that neither of them crossed just yet. Moreover, it was not the time for a love confession since they only had favorable impressions of each other.

Ren and Ruka arrived at a restaurant, which did not seem like one at all. Surprised, she sized up the place with eyes of scrutiny. Instead of a restaurant, it appeared more like a private kitchen because the decor was that of a kitchen with no tables of customers around.

Even so, the waiters treated him with utmost reverence. They even addressed him as ‘Sir’ without his surname, which was obviously an honorific form of address like he was their master.

Sitting on the table next to a pond, she need not order food as she leaned her body to observe the little fishes. She was like a kid who still held onto a child-like interest.

Meanwhile, Ren sat down with his elbow on the table and chin on his palm. As his intense gaze landed upon the girl, his eyes glazed over.

More and more past memories conjured in his mind. The recollections of twenty years expanse were vivid as if they had occurred just yesterday; even the image of Ruka sobbing played in his mind so vividly.

He could remember that one time, when she was listless due to a cold, he bought a pretty doll for her. She was so pleased that she ran to him to give him a peck and thank him with a squishy voice.

Ren reminisced about her childhood while looking at the slim figure, which was crouching next to the pond. He had an illusion that he could still find her younger self from the beautiful girl.

He zoned out as his deep gaze contained inexplicable emotions. When Ruka rose to her feet, he came back to his senses. His eyes regained their clarity and tranquility, whereas his visage turned to its usual solemn and reserved one.

“Mr. Ren, I reckon this is not any ordinary restaurant. Is it your private restaurant?” Ruka sat down and asked curiously.

“Yep. I usually treat my clients here. It’s not open to the public.” He nodded.

“No wonder, but it’s beautiful here. It’s mesmerizing Ruka scanned the ornaments in which each of them held a special meaning to it.

At that moment, the appetizers and fruit juices were served. Her eyes sparkled as she was already starving. She gulped her saliva while looking at the mouth watering appetizers.

“If you’re hungry, just dig in.” Ren smiled as there was a smidgen of affection seeped into his voice.

She nodded and took one of the mozzarella sticks before feeding herself. It tasted with its cheesy crunchiness.
