Why? It was a simple question to ask, though with a long story behind it. And now Julia stood behind him, while he gathered his clothes to leave. He hadn't answered her. Too many thoughts flew through his mind, and all he thought about was getting the hell away from her.

"Why are you leaving?" she tried again. He sighed, closing the bag that now contained all of the things he had brought along, when he had thought, that only his life was in danger.

"I just have to," he quickly cut her off, grabbing the bag. He walked straight out of the room, without saying goodbye or giving her a hug, though it was all he really wanted to do. He walked out in the hallway and was on his way out, when Julia jumped in front of him, blocking the door.

"Hwoarang, what is going on?" she asked, looking up at him.

"Julia, I lo-" he bursted out, and stopped himself, when he realized, what he was about to say.

"Someone is out to get me, and I don't want you to get hurt," he corrected himself, hoping it was a good enough answer. Julia just nodded.

"Fine, I understand," she said in a low voice, opening the door for him and got out of his way. He stepped out with a sigh, looking back at her. None of them said anything, but before Hwoarang left, Julia placed a kiss on his cheek and closed the door.
